Chapter 362



Three days of continuous investigations had exhausted those who had persisted.

How big is Beijing, how many districts are there, how many shanty towns are there? Even if every district is recorded in the register, the record files of the past five decades are like a mountain, and there is no way to check them.

Lin Weiwan watched Shen Zhu go out to work, and stayed at home to play with Manman.

Chen Rui was so groggy and weak that she couldn't even speak. She didn't know what the woman had just fed her.

The woman painted something on her face and changed her clothes. She fell asleep in a daze in a short while.

When I woke up again, I found myself on a bullock cart, covered with a quilt.

The woman was holding her child in her arms and the man was driving a car on the dirt road.

She still couldn't move. All she could see was the blue sky, white clouds, and the occasional tree branches on both sides of the road.

"Wow..." Chen Rui was surprised and looked sideways at the woman. She was holding a baby in her arms.

"Brother, pull over for a moment. The child is hungry. I'll make some milk powder for her." The woman said to the man who was hurrying up.

Lin Weiwan watched the woman take out the milk powder warmer and bottle to prepare milk for the child.

The man got out of the car and lifted the quilt next to Chen Rui.

"Second brother, please hold that thing over there, be careful not to let my sister-in-law catch a cold." The woman pointed at the other side of Chen Rui and said.

Passersby didn't show any curiosity at all, they just took a casual look and walked away.

When they reached the intersection, the bullock cart suddenly stopped. "Who are you doing? What do you want to do?"

The man looked at the two people blocking the intersection in front of him with some fear.

"Routine inspection. Where are you from? What are you doing outside Beijing?" The two men took out their ID cards and flashed them in front of the man. The other man had already walked over to the oxcart to check.

"My wife just gave birth, take her and the baby home." The man was stunned, and he tightened the whip in his mouth with fear and nervousness, looking at the person who was questioning him nervously.

"Second...Second brother..." The woman holding the child looked at the man who was walking towards her with horror in her eyes.

"Don't be afraid, brother. We are really out of money. My wife is having a difficult delivery. We have been to all the hospitals and have nothing left. Please let us go."

The man pretended to be strong, but the whip in his body was shaking.

The inspector walked over to Chen Rui and reached out to pull the quilt.

"No, my sister-in-law just gave birth and will catch a cold." The woman held the child in one hand and stretched out the other hand to stop the man from pulling Chen Rui to cover her with the quilt.

The man glanced at it indifferently, and did not give up because of the woman's obstruction. He still lifted the quilt to check.

"Where are you from?" the man asked, but Chen Rui could only open her mouth but could not make a sound.

"Brother, our home is in Niujiazhuang in front. My wife is deaf and dumb, so you can just ask me if you have any questions." The man stretched out his hand to tuck in Chen Rui's quilt.

Chen Rui was so anxious that tears came down. She could only watch herself being covered by the quilt. She couldn't move at all.

"Niujiazhuang? I heard that the greenhouse vegetables in your commune are very famous." The inspector asked casually.

"Yes, it's all because of the good policies. Every family in our commune has enough to eat." The man responded with a smile.

"Ah...wah..." The child's cry came. The woman hurriedly comforted the child.

"We can go back now, but we still have work to do at home, and we have to return the ox cart." The man looked at the two inspectors with an embarrassed look and asked carefully.

Two people passing by came over to watch, and the inspector took two steps back and said, "Alright, you can go now."

As the oxcart left, two people who were watching the excitement nearby dispersed.

One of the two inspectors ran up the hill quickly, while the other drove quickly into the city.
