Bai Lu frowned and lost her patience. "Get these two away!"
The three people who followed immediately took action and carried the child to the side.
The two children were still unhappy, thinking that Bai Lu and the others were standing in their way!
"What's wrong with you guys! We're having fun here!"
Bai Lu's mouth twitched. How could she be unreasonable with her?
If the baby she gave birth to looked like this in the future, she would definitely rebuild him!
As the child shouted, a door opened and an old woman stood in front of the door, looking like she was about to get angry.
Jun Jing took a look and saw that the house number was the one the police station had pointed out just now.
Bai Lu and Jun Jing had no idea that their entire route had been being watched since they entered Yaocheng.
The people downstairs saw the door upstairs open and shouted, "Aunt Zhang, the leaders from Beijing are coming upstairs! Please give them a good reception, I'm leaving first!"
Jun Jing's heart skipped a beat. This kind of incident had happened before! To send a certain signal!
He glanced around cautiously, then put his wife on the ground and squeezed Bai Lu's shoulder.
Bai Lu smiled faintly and said, "We are from the Beijing Research Base. Because Zhang Huan's research proposal is good, the base will provide financial support. However, the amount of money is not small, so we paid her a visit to investigate her family background, her previous living environment, her work environment, etc., before deciding whether to give her the money to continue her research on the project."
"If it's not a small amount, then how much is it?" the old woman asked, as if she only heard this sentence.
"Five hundred thousand." Bai Lu said casually, "Other than that, all expenses at the base are paid for by the base."
The reason for coming to Yaocheng was not only because of intuition that she had to come, but also because Bai Lu wanted to find out whether what Xu Cong said was true!
Only by clarifying this can we decide whether Xu Cong should stay or go. She does have a talent for computer languages! And if she continues to be trained, she will achieve great results in the future. But who can guarantee that what she said is not a lie?
So, seeing is believing!
What's more, even if 500,000 yuan was invested in a project, it wouldn't go to Zhang Huan, but to Xu Cong, who actually wrote the proposal...
The old woman could not hide her excitement, "Leader, please come in quickly!"
The group was invited into the house.
The old woman led them to the square table in the living room and said, "Our house isn't big, and with two kids running around, it's a bit of a mess! Don't mind, leaders! I'll have someone come clean it up right away!"
The old woman said as she entered the house, "Li Mingzhu, go sweep the floor! Huanhuan's boss is here from Beijing!"
The woman in the room didn't say anything, she just came out and swept the floor with a broom, but her movements were very unskilled and it was obvious at a glance that she didn't do housework often.
"This is?"
Bai Lu asked with interest.
The old woman said embarrassedly, "I am a relative's child, and I came to help at home. I am old, and I breathe heavily when I work."
Bai Lu smiled and nodded, "I thought it was Zhang Huan's child..."
"This is not a joke. My daughter wants to be a researcher! How could she get married and have children so early? In the future, she has to marry a researcher!" The old woman said, her mouth almost splitting to her ears with laughter.
Bai Lu's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and she said lightly, "There are many young people in Jing City. If Zhang Huan can find a young man from Jing City, he can stay in Jing City forever. Oh, by the way, the information shows that Zhang Huan also has a brother and sister-in-law."
Bai Lu said, and looked around the room again, "Are both of them working outside now?"
"Ah, her eldest brother Zhang Lei works at Huatie Construction, a state-owned enterprise. He's a junior leader in the project department. They specialize in paving roads. You know what paving roads is, right? We're from a good family too!" The old woman praised her son as she mentioned him, then pouted, "Our daughter-in-law doesn't have a job, so while Huan'er is studying, we've asked her sister-in-law to help take care of her!"
"He's in Beijing?" Bai Lu showed a surprised expression. "We're doing a cleanup, so why didn't Zhang Huan report to the school about his relatives following him to Beijing?"
The old woman knew she had said the wrong thing and wanted to slap her mouth.
A child of about four or five years old ran out of the house, babble-babble inaudibly. Jun Jing didn't understand what he was saying, but Bai Lu knew over seven thousand languages, so she could tell the child was speaking a dialect! It must be the local dialect.
The curse words were dirty and disgusting, probably insulting women. After the child finished cursing, he looked up and asked the old woman fiercely: "Where is the bad woman? I want to eat pancakes! Where is the bad woman?"
The latter sentence is in Mandarin.
Bai Lu and Jun Jing's expressions changed. The old woman forced a smile and said, "This is Zhang Huan's brother's son."
Xu Cong told Bai Lu that she had never been pregnant and had never given birth to a child. On the contrary, the woman Zhang Lei brought home had given birth to more than one child.
"Zhang Huan said his brother and sister-in-law don't have any children." Bai Lu's expression became serious. "Is there something wrong?"
The old woman was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed her tone. "Oh, the thing is, Lei Zi and his wife really don't have children. It's been several years, and we can't ask our son to divorce his daughter-in-law because she can't have children. Mainly, everyone in our family is kind, so we adopted a relative's child and registered him with our family. We adopted them for good luck, hoping that they would bring more offspring to our family."
Jun Jing patted Bai Lu's back inconspicuously.
Bai Lu stood up. "We came here today to ask some routine questions, and we've almost finished asking them. Normally, we're supposed to stay at home for three days, and then visit the researcher's relatives' workplaces. However, there's a problem with your family's information, so we need to go back and discuss it further."
"No, no! There's nothing wrong, really! We adopted the child for his own good! You guys sit here for a while. Although our house is small and can't accommodate anyone, Lei Zi will be back soon. When he comes back, ask him to take you to the guesthouse in our town!" The old woman said, grabbing Bai Lu's sleeve.
Bai Lu subconsciously wanted to wave, but Jun Jing held her arm. "Auntie, it's like this. There are too many of us. Let's go to the guesthouse first. When your son comes back later, you can ask him to come find us. The main reason is that we can only stay here for three days. This time we need to visit several researchers' homes and screen among them. Time is running out!"
