Chapter 147: The truth may be revealed because they don’t want her to remarry…
The treasure trove that Yao Zhizhi discovered this time was in an abandoned high school, not far from her home, behind a woolen mill. Yao Zhizhi didn't usually go there and was not very familiar with it.
Qi Changxiao was a little amused and asked, "Do you really want to go?"
"Go, why not?" Life always has some surprises. What if you can discover something good?
Qi Changxiao looked at the time: "Then let's wait until tonight. I have to go to work soon."
"Okay, then we'll do it at night." Then we can start digging. It's cold anyway and not many people go out at night.
Picking up the scarf, Qi Changxiao asked, "How many are there this time?"
"Three. They are all rare and should not need to be handed in." Yao Zhizhi yawned continuously. It was all Dou Zhener's fault. She came here in the middle of the day and made her unable to sleep well.
Qi Changxiao was a little curious: "What did Director Feng like about her? Her youth? Her beauty?"
"I guess so. The matchmaking that the blacksmith wife suggested should be okay." Yao Zhizhi has limited energy, so she just goes with the flow on many things and doesn't want to dig into the details.
Qi Changxiao pushed out his bicycle and prepared to go to work.
Yao Zhizhi got in the car, and Aunt Mao was waiting at the entrance of the alley.
Yao Zhizhi quickly jumped down and went to the roadside to talk with her.
Aunt Mao looked around and whispered, "Xiao Yao, I want to ask you something."
"You tell me." Yao Zhizhi thought Aunt Mao was going to matchmake someone again and asked her about the situation.
Aunt Mao whispered, "I heard that Dou Zhen'er seems to have some connection with her father-in-law. Do you know about this?"
Yao Zhizhi has a headache. Why ask her about this?
How could she respond? After all, Dou Zhen'er had already confessed to Director Feng, and Director Feng didn't care, so it wouldn't be easy for them, outsiders, to get involved.
But Aunt Mao helps me a lot, so I'll just tell you the truth.
Then he nodded: "That's what happened, Aunt Mao, who told you that? At this time, don't you want them to succeed?"
"I heard from others that the Ye family bribed her brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law told the truth." Aunt Mao really didn't know about this and was quite surprised.
Yao Zhizhi felt that her brother-in-law might not want Dou Zhener to remarry and be trapped in the Xue family for the rest of her life.
What good would this do for him? First, he wouldn't have to take care of his eldest brother's children. Second, maybe he had ulterior motives towards Dou Zhen'er.
Yao Zhizhi always felt that this matter was going to be bad, so she had to say to Aunt Mao: "Let's not make this matter public, just keep it to ourselves."
That's true. Aunt Mao knew what was going on and didn't want to embarrass Yao Zhizhi, so she chatted for a few more minutes and then left.
Zhou Juan did come to work today. Yao Zhizhi glanced at her and ignored her. The idiot was getting angry about her pay slip.
The last paycheck before the New Year was deducted from her salary by ten dollars.
The publishing house has its own rules and regulations. If there are special circumstances every month, there will be no salary deduction for taking a leave.
Zhou Juan was deducted ten yuan simply because she never showed up to work, and even disappeared without asking for leave. So who else should she deduct ten yuan from?
Yao Zhizhi was not afraid that she would report her wrongdoing, so she called Zhou Ying as soon as she entered the office, taking the initiative.
"Aunt Zhou, I have something to tell you." Yao Zhizhi said politely.
Zhou Ying didn't think much of it, thinking she was looking for his help, and said with a smile, "We're all family, just ask."
Yao Zhizhi smiled and said, "It's like this. Your daughter hasn't been in work often this month. I'm worried she's not feeling well. Would Aunt Zhou like to take her to see a doctor? She didn't even ask for leave one day, which scared me to death. If anything happens to her, how am I going to explain it to Aunt Zhou? I called Teacher Xu, but she didn't know anything either. I'm wondering if your daughter can't bear to make everyone worry about her, so she's keeping it a secret. After all, we're outsiders, so it's normal for her to be embarrassed to speak up. Aunt Zhou is her biological mother, so you can ask her what's wrong. It won't worry everyone."
Zhou Ying knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.
This child was really spoiled by her. In the past, when he was in school, he was also a three-day fish and two-day fish.
I quickly said something nice to Yao Zhizhi: "Don't worry, I will definitely ask her carefully so that everyone won't worry too much."
"That's good, but Aunt Zhou, since she's so free, it's hard for me to do anything about it. I'll deduct a little from her salary and give everyone an explanation. Is that okay with you?"
"No problem, no problem. Just deduct what you should deduct. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it."
"That's not necessary. Thank you, Aunt Zhou, for your understanding." After hanging up the phone, Yao Zhizhi went about her own business.
After get off work and dinner in the evening, the couple left their two children with their grandparents and uncles and went treasure hunting.
Yao Weihua was worried, so he asked Jiaojiao to follow and take care of him.
It was Yao Zhizhi’s first time here, and she was quite curious, looking around.
"Have you ever gone to school here?" She was very curious. He was four years older than her. He should have been in high school when the school was closed, right?
Qi Changxiao shook his head: "I'm not feeling well, so I didn't go."
"Did you pass the exam?" Yao Zhizhi suddenly realized that with his sickly appearance at that time, it was indeed a bit scary for him to go to school.
Qi Changxiao nodded: "I took the test, and I got second place in the total score."
"Who's number one?" Yao Zhizhi was curious. "Zhang Wang?"
"It's not him. He doesn't like studying, he just likes playing." Qi Changxiao hadn't seen that top student for a while and felt quite regretful. He said tactfully, "Aren't there two empty houses in this alley? One of them is the family of the top student. Their whole family has left. I don't know where they went."
Well, that involves a sensitive topic, so I won’t talk about it anymore.
Yao Zhizhi pushed open the school gate, but the door lock was completely rusted and broke at the touch.
The two went in, searched around, and finally dug out a large wooden box in the woods next to the playground.
There were boxes inside boxes, and finally three treasures were found.
They are a pair of blue and white porcelain vases and a pair of glazed flower vases. If they come in pairs, they count as one.
The last one is a bit unique, it is a honey-yellow bracelet.
They were all buried in 1912 and are ownerless treasures.
Yao Zhizhi had never seen such a fine piece before and couldn't tell the material, so she could only check the system: "Cat's eye stones, twelve in total. Because one has a flaw, the overall classification is rare, not top quality. I think if it were disassembled and inlaid into other jewelry, it would be very valuable."
"It really looks nice. You take a rest, I'll fill it with soil." Qi Changxiao even stopped taking Chinese medicine. He was completely recovered. He worked with great enthusiasm and especially liked the feeling of being covered in sweat.
Yao Zhizhi put the things into the system space and turned around to fill the soil together.
Qi Changxiao was helpless and complained: "Why, you want to prove your strength to me?"
"What else? We can't let you show off like a peacock with its tail spread out, right?" Yao Zhizhi smiled and pinched his earlobe. It was so soft and so nice to pinch!
I can’t squeeze enough! I quickly finished filling it up, went back to take a shower and go to bed.
I don't know if the bathhouse is closed.
Fortunately, the two of them acted quickly and got in just before the bathhouse closed.
We asked for a single room and took a shower together.
Because they were the last couple of customers, the bathhouse auntie was a little impatient and urged them to hurry up outside the door.
Yao Zhizhi wanted to go faster, but there was someone sticking to her, so how could she go faster?
Seeing how he moved so quietly, he looked like some sneaky bad guy.
Yao Zhizhi couldn't stand him. They were a legal couple, so there shouldn't be such a strong feeling of infidelity. She could ask the auntie to pay, it wasn't like she hadn't paid. The bathhouse wasn't hers, it belonged to the West Suburbs Coal Mine. There were only five in the city, all state-owned enterprises. Serving the people was their duty!
Just like that, Yao Zhizhi had a righteous moment with the man.
When she came out, the old lady's eyes rolled up to the sky.
Yao Zhizhi stuffed two pieces of White Rabbit snacks into her hand and she immediately smiled.
Tsk, human nature.
Yao Zhizhi went to Qi Tiao Hutong to pick up Xiao Yueliang. She wrapped the child tightly in her military coat. When she got home and was about to go to bed, Ning Zhengrong came over to borrow her military coat.
Qi Changxiao opened the door and walked him out: "Dad, are you going somewhere so late?"
Ning Zhengrong sighed, "Over at the Chengxi Police Station, two families are causing trouble. We don't have enough police force, so I'm requesting some support from here. I'm afraid your mother might catch a cold, so I asked her to put on her military coat."
"What's going on? Are there going to be a fuss during New Year's Day?" Qi Changxiao was puzzled. This kind of situation was really rare.
Ning Zhengrong was also helpless: "It is said that the director of the thermal power plant is dating a new widow, the one who came to the police station last time. But her brother-in-law didn't want her to remarry, so he asked someone from the Ye family to betray her, saying that she was with... and now, there is a quarrel."
"Doesn't Director Feng know about this?" Qi Changxiao was a little speechless. The other person was happy about it, so why were the Ye family making a fuss?
Ning Zhengrong didn't understand either, so he said, "Alright, go to bed now. I'll go over with your mom to check on her."
"Be careful on the road, Dad." Qi Changxiao felt a little distressed. He was already an old man, but he still had to bear the cold shoulder for such a bullshit thing.
It’s infuriating just thinking about it.
After returning to the house, I told Yao Zhizhi, who quickly got up and said, "Let's go take a look."
"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Qi Changxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His wife was really a person who loved to watch the show.
Yao Zhizhi shook her head, but she didn't want to put the child through any more trouble, so she simply went to Qi Tiao Hutong to call her third brother over.
He warned, "If it's too late, we won't be back. We'll just find a guesthouse to stay in. It's a good opportunity to meet the Ye family. I still don't know how Ye Xinmei got in touch with Hu Biheng."
Yao Weihua was also unclear about this matter, so he quickly asked her to take Jiaojiao with her. With more helpers, he felt at ease.
Yao Zhizhi's home was far away, and she was riding a bicycle. When she arrived and asked about the situation, the quarrel was almost over.
Yao Zhizhi saw from afar that her mother-in-law was helping to maintain order. The Ye family was a large family with many people and strong power. The Feng family, on the other hand, had few people. However, Director Feng was popular and all the employees in the factory were willing to speak up for him.
So this commotion involved a large crowd of two to three hundred people, no wonder even the Chengbei Police Station came.
Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao did not go forward. Instead, they turned around and asked for a room in the guesthouse behind them, and looked out the window.
The Chengxi Police Station was packed.
The leader of the Ye family is a man in his forties, who is standing in the middle of the yard and giving a passionate speech.
In a nutshell, Dou Zhener is not worthy of Director Feng. If Dou Zhener can do it, why can't Ye Xinmei?
No matter how bad Ye Xinmei is, can she be as immoral as Dou Zhener?
Director Feng couldn't say that he was attracted by Dou Zhener's youth and beauty. In short, once this matter was exposed, the two of them would no longer be able to be together.
I had no choice but to frown, grab my former brother-in-law by the collar and tell him to get out.
The eldest brother-in-law yelled, "You can ask me to leave, but I'm not allowed to get involved with this kind of woman!"
Director Feng just wants to calm the situation down as soon as possible so he can have a happy new year.
He replied, "I didn't understand it clearly. Don't worry, I'm not a troublemaker. You can go back. It's New Year's Day, and I feel bad for the police officers to be here in the cold wind."
"Then cancel the wedding!" The Ye family refused to give in.
Director Feng sighed, "It's been cancelled. Let's go back."
The Ye family finally breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed grumblingly.
When passing by Dou Zhener, he didn't forget to spit.
Yao Zhizhi was sighing when Qi Changxiao whispered, "Go back and don't worry about it. If you can't handle this matter well, you'll be in trouble both inside and outside."
Yao Zhizhi took the advice, checked out of the room and left.
Two days later, I heard from Aunt Mao that Dou Zhener had left. No one knew where she went.
My brother-in-law's plan failed and he didn't take the child away.
On New Year's Eve, a woman sat on the train with a deathly pale face, tightly holding a canvas bag in her hand. In the canvas bag were a letter of introduction, money and a job recommendation letter.
She left in such a mess, she would not let the Ye family go, she would come back.
