As soon as Lu Ting returned home, he pulled Su Yan to sit down and said, "Yan Yan, I didn't expect you to have guessed it. Lu Li is really not my sister."
Su Yan asked doubtfully, "Did you find any new evidence?"
Lu Ting nodded. "Lu Li's blood type is incompatible with my parents'. So I might have to go out tomorrow and won't be back for lunch."
My dad might confront my mom about this. My mom is probably in a bad mood recently. Can Yanyan persuade her?"
"Okay, I know what to do. Lu Ting, where are you going tomorrow?"
"Go to Xishui Village to find the midwife who delivered my mother and my aunt, and go to the state-owned restaurant to find Jinyan."
"Is your brother working in a state-owned restaurant?"
"Well, my brother used to have good grades, but unfortunately he was unlucky. Last year, when he took the college entrance examination, he discovered that his admission ticket, which was stuffed in his schoolbag, was missing when he arrived at the examination hall.
After failing to take the college entrance exam, my aunt arranged for him to work as an apprentice in a state-owned restaurant, working tirelessly for only 20 yuan a month.
Su Yan felt it was a pity that a high school student with excellent grades was learning cooking.
She knew that some apprentices now earn only a dozen yuan, which is really low. They do the most tiring work and are often scolded by their masters.
"Lu Ting, your brother is such a good student. Why don't you just take the college entrance exam with me next year and quit your apprenticeship at the state-owned restaurant?"
"Well, that's what I planned too. When my parents bring Jinyan back, I'll ask him to tutor you.
When the time comes, the apprenticeship job at the state-owned restaurant will be returned to the Gu family, and Lu Li will be sent back to the Gu family."
Su Yan sighed, "I wonder if Lu Li will agree?"
“Whether she agrees or not is not up to her to decide.
Yanyan, my dad said that you wrote the scientific pig farming report very well. He originally planned to take you to the farm to take a look tomorrow.
He has a meeting these two days and may not be available. He said that after he finishes his next visit, he will take you to visit the farm."
"Haha, I'm not in a hurry."
The next morning, after Lu Ting finished his breakfast, he said hello to Lu Fengnian and went out.
Su Yan slept until half past eight, made a cup of malted milk, drank it, and then went into the space to get busy.
Her task this morning was to collect honey in the mountains. In her previous life, she had handed this job over to a beekeeper. Now that there was no beekeeper in this space, she had to do everything by herself.
Su Yan was fully armed and wrapped herself tightly. She came to the mountain full of fruit trees, opened the beehives and smoked away the bees with mugwort. Then she cut the honey in the box piece by piece and put it into a tin barrel for processing and filtering.
It took her a whole morning to harvest honey from three beehives. She bottled the honey in bottles using the custom-made glass from their base.
The filtered honeycomb was then boiled into beeswax, which was saved for making handmade soap later. Seeing that it was still early, she meditated in the space for another half hour before returning to the Lu family's house to eat and chat with her mother-in-law.
In the afternoon, she returned to the space and used her mind to go to the medicinal field to dig Gastrodia elata. Gastrodia elata is very troublesome to process. It must be steamed and dried nine times. It will take several months to process all the Gastrodia elata in a ten-acre field.
If the medicinal materials are not processed properly, it will affect its price. Slow work makes perfect, so Su Yan is not in a hurry.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Comrade Su, are you home?"
The door outside the house was banged on. Su Yan jumped out of the space, opened the door, and found a strange lesbian standing there.
"Hello, who are you?"
"I'm the new neighbor who moved in next door. You're Director Lu's wife, right? My husband is Zhang Hongwei, the deputy director of the cultural troupe."
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"I just moved here and I want to borrow some salt from you."
Borrow salt? She and Lu Ting moved here after getting married. They didn't even have a stove at home, and they didn't cook over a stove, so where would they get the salt?
There is quite a bit of salt in her space. It's impossible for her to go to the space to get salt for outsiders, right?
"I'm sorry, I haven't started the fire yet and I don't have any salt at home."
"So? So you don't have any salt at home, then forget it? Comrade Su, can I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"You know Ye Yao, right?"
Su Yan held her forehead with her hand. She finally understood why Captain Zhang's wife wanted to borrow salt from her. It turned out that she wanted to ask her about Ye Yao.
Could it be that Ye Yao is really related to Captain Zhang? This woman looks forty years old. Captain Zhang should be in his forties, right?
How could Ye Yao get involved with a married man?
Su Yan politely asked the visitor, "What's your last name, sister-in-law?"
"No need to mention your surname Liu."
"Hello, Mrs. Liu! Let me tell you the truth, I'm not familiar with Ye Yao at all.
She should have a lot of good friends in the art troupe. If you have anything to say, you can go talk to them."
Her man was entangled with another woman, and she actually used such a convincing excuse to ask her about the news. Is she such a gossipy person?
Seeing that she couldn't get any answers, Liu Cuiyun smiled at her awkwardly and left.
As soon as Lu Ting came back, he rushed to the office to find his father, Lu Fengnian, "Dad, I'm back."
"How is it? Is the midwife still alive?"
"The midwife died last year."
"What? So what do you say we should do now?"
Lu Ting knew that the midwife was dead, so no one came forward to prove that Lu Li and Gu Jinyan were taken away by mistake. However, his aunt and grandmother did not know that the midwife was dead, so he should be able to trick them.
"Dad, I checked with the neighbors around Wengpo. Nineteen years ago, Wengpo's family was very poor and lived in a thatched hut. But the next year, they suddenly built four mud brick houses.
