When Nanxi was about to fall asleep, Balu's phone rang. Song Cai sent a sketch of a face on the social software.
The man holding his wife narrowed his eyes. This person seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen her.
Baru raised his hand to cover the sketch on his phone from the nose down, leaving only the eyebrows and eyes exposed, carefully examining and recalling...
Why does this guy look so much like the old man who used to follow my father-in-law around? He's just a little younger.
"Wife..." The matter was of great importance, and the man had to wake up his wife who was about to fall asleep. "Honey, Song Cai sent it over. Please help me take a look. This person looks familiar to me."
Nanxi opened her eyes in confusion, and when she saw the people inside, she suddenly woke up, sat up, reached out and grabbed Baru's phone, her eyes full of shock.
"What's wrong?" Baru asked with a dim look in his eyes.
"He is Uncle Li's son, Li Hang." Nanxi looked up at her husband, her voice filled with excitement.
"Uncle Li? The old man who always followed my father-in-law around? He disappeared later. We've been looking for him ever since?"
"Yeah, Li Hang has a very low presence. Normally, no one pays attention to him. Although he works at my house, I've only seen him a few times when Uncle Li is too busy. How could he be in northern Myanmar? And a human trafficker? This is unbelievable."
Balu's phone rang again. It was a message from Song Cai.
"Along, Lulu said that Brother Hang is a great man. He felt pity for her and helped her because he saw the burn scar on her arm.
He asked Lulu how she got so burned. Lulu said that when she was a child, her family was poor and the adults didn't care about her. She cooked by herself and knocked over the kettle, which got her so burned.
Brother Hang looked at her scars and said, "Just like hers, it was all caused by suffering." Then he ordered someone to take her away and prevent her from being taken away to sell her organs.
After listening to this, Baru replied, "I see," and then looked up at Nanxi, "Wife, does Li Hang have a wife?"
Nanxi shook her head in confusion. "I don't know. I never paid any attention to him. Dad only came back two or three times a year. I was still studying and didn't care about anything. Apart from Grandpa and Aunt Ying, I didn't pay much attention to anyone else."
"But Aunt Ying knows." Nanxi's eyes lit up, "I'll ask Aunt Ying."
After she finished speaking, she called Aunt Ying.
Aunt Ying was a little surprised when she suddenly asked about Li Hang. "Xixi, why did you suddenly think of asking about him? I haven't seen him for many years. Back then, he had a big fight with Uncle Li for some reason, ran away from home, submitted his resignation, and my husband agreed. I haven't seen him since.
But later, I heard Uncle Li say that he went to work for Mr. Xiao.
"My brother?" Nanxi frowned, "How come I don't know about this?"
"You don't even worry about where you put your things, how can you pay attention to these things?" Aunt Ying teased her with a smile.
"Aunt Ying~" Nanxi pouted coquettishly, "It's just occasionally, not often."
Balu pursed his lips and tried to suppress his laughter after hearing this.
Nanxi pinched him and said, "Don't laugh."
"Aunt Ying, is Li Hang married?" Nanxi turned around and continued to ask Aunt Ying.
"No, if he got married, Uncle Li and I have worked together for so many years, he would definitely send me an invitation. Moreover, with Uncle Li's status, Mr. Li would definitely give Li Hang an apartment as a wedding house. My son got married with this standard. Uncle Li's son will only be treated better, but I have never heard Mr. Li say so."
"Do you know if he has a girlfriend? Or, does he have someone he likes?" Nanxi asked again.
"I don't know about this, but I remember that at that time, there seemed to be several girls in the old house who liked Li Hang. After all, although the young man was quiet, he was good-looking and had a high salary. His father was the master's confidant, and his family conditions were good." Aunt Ying said as she recalled.
"None of those girls wanted to develop a relationship with Li Hang?" Nanxi suddenly started gossiping, and the man next to her looked darker.
"I don't know much about these things happening to the young people, but Uncle Li has been with the master for many years. He has a bit of the master's unapproachable air. I guess those girls are scared by his cold face and dare not get close to his son." Aunt Ying said casually.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
"Aunt Ying? What's wrong?" Nanxi saw that Aunt Ying suddenly stopped talking, so she called her.
"Xixi, I suddenly remembered that one time, Uncle Li returned to the old house and called Dandan over to talk for a long time. After that, Dandan came back and cried for a long time. Could it be that—"
"Dandan?" Nanxi chewed on the name carefully.
"Have you forgotten? I told you that her mother is from the same hometown as me. I brought her to work in the old house. The girl was young and very hardworking. Unfortunately, she had a bad life and died early." Aunt Ying sighed heavily.
Nanxi suddenly remembered that when she and Balu got their marriage certificate and returned to their hometown, Aunt Ying had mentioned Dandan. After thinking about it carefully, her heart suddenly sank to her throat.
"Xixi..." Aunt Ying's voice rose several degrees. "Dandan's mother said she went to Burma with a man. Could that man be Li Hang? Was it Li Hang who killed Dandan?"
Nanxi also felt a chill on her back and shrank into her husband's arms. "Aunt Ying, don't get excited. It's not easy to guess about this. Please don't tell anyone."
"Okay, Xixi, don't worry, Aunt Ying knows what's going on."
"Aunt Ying, is there a burn scar on Dandan's hand?" Nanxi always felt that the scar Lulu mentioned might be related to this incident.
"Yes, when Dandan first came to the old house, she had a bandage on her hand. I thought it was a minor injury and didn't pay much attention to it. Later I found out that she had a burn. She didn't treat it in time and it became infected. I approved her leave so that she could go to the hospital. Oh, by the way, she didn't know the way at that time, so I think I asked Li Hang to give her a ride there."
There are some things that we don’t care about when they happen, but when we think about them carefully, we find that fate has already secretly arranged everything.
Nanxi bit her lip, understanding everything. "Aunt Ying, I understand. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."
"Don't worry, Xixi, when will you come back to give birth? These are all trivial matters, let your uncle take care of them, you just need to take good care of the baby, I have already prepared the baby's quilt, clothes and so on. Just listen to Aunt Ying and don't buy those things from maternity and baby stores, they are all chemical-based and not good for the baby.
Aunt Ying has taken care of everything. You just need to come and don't worry about anything. Just stay at home and take care of the confinement period. Home is much more comfortable than a confinement center."
Nanxi didn't have much experience, so she felt that what Aunt Ying said must be right. If she could take care of herself, she could take care of the baby. She nodded heavily and said, "Well, Aunt Ying, we'll be back as soon as A-lu finishes his work here."
