Lotus Mother’s brainwashing was particularly successful. The children all said in unison: “Grandma, when I grow up and make money, I will buy new clothes for Aunt Jiajia and provide for her in her old age!”
"I bought some delicious food for Aunt Jiajia."
"I bought a hair ornament for Aunt Jiajia so that she can look pretty every day."
“…”
The children's innocent words are very heartwarming.
Lotus Lady smiled and opened the package.
There are White Rabbit candies, malted milk, brown sugar, enamel cups, oil and other things in it.
Some were purchased, and some were benefits provided by the factory.
"Wow, grandma, there really is White Rabbit candy. Auntie is so nice!"
"My aunt is the most promising one in our family. I also want to study hard, get into high school, and become a worker in the future."
"Me too, me too. Only by being a worker can we live a good life."
"Grandma, here is a letter from my aunt."
Lotus mother opened the letter and found twenty dollars inside.
The letter said that ten yuan was hers and another ten yuan was Li Tianming's. The malted milk, compressed biscuits, and hawthorn slices were also bought by Li Tianming. The rest were distributed by the Lotus Factory.
Lotus's mother was overjoyed. She thought Lotus was just trying to comfort her, but she didn't expect that she had actually sent money. She took the two big unity notes and kissed them hard: "These two, one is from your aunt, and the other is from your uncle."
"My aunt is so nice, my uncle is so nice!"
"Grandma, there's one more person I need to be filial to. I'll also be filial to my uncle-in-law in the future."
Mother Lotus was pleased to hear this. She opened some White Rabbit candies and gave two to each child: "Take them and play with them."
Several children walked out of the yard holding White Rabbit candies.
Whenever they met someone, they would tell them that their aunt had sent back some White Rabbit candy.
When Wang Danniu heard this, she was so angry. They were both daughters, but that dead girl was as good as dead and didn't care about the family at all!
She asked He Xiaobao to write a letter to Xu Xiaoyao. Xu Xiaobao didn't know many words and was not very happy about it: "I'm only in the fourth grade, how many words can I recognize? You should ask someone else to write it."
Wang Danniu had no choice but to take two eggs and ask someone else to write it.
…
The first day of July.
The sky is clear and blue.
Huang Ying came to the family compound accompanied by the director.
The director came to Xu Jiajia's house with ease. Seeing that she was alone at home, he handed her a file bag and said, "The people in the bureau have been investigating this case for five days and have found nothing. Take a look."
Xu Jiajia put the case on the table, stood up, poured two glasses of water and handed them to the director and Huang Ying, then took out a red plate and put it on the table, with oranges, apples, and some wild fruits on it.
Xu Jiajia bought the apples and oranges from her friend in the black market, and the wild fruits were picked from the mountains.
"eat--"
Huang Ying was shocked. Although her family was well-off, they would not dare to be so wasteful.
The director was preoccupied and couldn't eat. He urged, "Look at the case first."
Xu Jiajia opened the file. It was a homicide case. The deceased was a female educated youth. On a stormy night, she went to the toilet and never came back.
The people at the educated youth point and the villagers searched the village all around but found nothing.
The village chief realized something was wrong and reported the case.
The public security personnel investigated for five days but found nothing, so they had to come to find Xu Jiajia.
After reading all the cases, she frowned slightly: "No clues at all?"
The director nodded and said, "Yes, it rained heavily that day and the footprints on the road were washed away by the rain."
Xu Jiajia picked up a pen and paper and started scribbling on them: "We need to investigate who the deceased had good and bad relationships with. We also need to investigate whether the deceased had a partner."
Speaking of this, the director had never thought that there was such a lonely person in the world: "The deceased had no partner and no good relationships. She always kept to herself."
Xu Jiajia lowered her eyes. This was difficult. "Have you searched the mountain?"
The public security personnel tried everything they could think of, but unfortunately they still found no clues.
"I looked for it, but I couldn't find it."
Xu Jiajia looked up at the director: "I want to go to the scene to take a look. Didn't you want to find someone to take care of the child for me? Where is the person?"
The director was stunned and a little embarrassed: "I forgot, I will arrange someone right away."
Xu Jiajia waved her hand, her tone full of pride: "Our two children are quite obedient and can be taken care of by one person. You guys stay home for a while, I'll go find my grandma and talk to her."
Xu Jiajia soon arrived at Zhang's house.
"Grandma, there's a case that requires me to go to the countryside. If the child is making a fuss, please ask Aunt Hui next door to help take care of him."
Mrs. Xu: "Go ahead. You don't need to worry about the child."
After greeting the old lady, Xu Jiajia hurried home again, packed up her notebook and pen and put them in her Jiefang bag: "Director, Huang Ying, let's go."
