In the following days, Mo Yuan stayed by Lin Xue's side, wholeheartedly immersing himself in the warm moments spent with his family. During this time, Lin Zhennan and his wife were also idle all day due to work, and even Lin Lei was unemployed at home, not holding any proper job. Fortunately, this gave them ample free time, and the family spent their days eating, drinking, and having fun, getting along extremely well and happily.
Moreover, after everyone crowded together to sleep on the first day, the next morning, the virtuous and capable Wang Wanru found a sturdy wooden board from somewhere, placed it on the bed, and used bricks to support both ends of the board. In this way, the bed was widened, and Mo Yuan and Lin Xue were finally able to sleep more comfortably at night.
As time went by, although the days spent with family were filled with laughter, Mo Yuan gradually realized that the lack of work was a heavy burden on everyone's minds. After all, in bustling Shanghai, making a living without a stable job and income was by no means easy.
Mo Yuan desperately wanted to help, but after careful consideration, he realized that simply giving money wouldn't truly solve the problem. This approach could only temporarily alleviate the immediate crisis, not address the root cause. To completely eliminate this predicament, they needed to tackle the problem at its source and find a way to get Lin Zhennan and his wife back to work.
Over the past few days, Mo Yuan has been using various clever methods to inquire about key information and the root cause of this matter from Lin Zhennan and Wang Wanru.
After further investigation, it was discovered that the problem did not originate from the school itself, but rather likely from the education bureau.
Wang Wanru stated bluntly that she was absolutely certain this matter was related to Lin Xue's aunt. It's well known that Lin Xue's aunt has extraordinary connections within the Education Bureau; a single word from her can influence many matters. Others, fearing her power, naturally dare not offend her. Unfortunately, Lin Zhennan and his wife lack any strong backing, which has led them into their current awkward predicament.
Although they have returned to Shanghai, the couple's work has not yet returned to normal.
Having fully grasped the specifics of the situation, Mo Yuan secretly considered his options. He knew that this matter couldn't be rushed; he needed to calmly think about whether there was a way to get through to the relevant departments.
If we can identify the key person and establish a good relationship with them, then solving this problem might not be such an insurmountable task. Once this thorny issue is successfully resolved, Lin Xue will surely be very happy.
However, Mo Yuan clearly realized that being anxious would be futile. Once everything gradually stabilized, he decided to address a matter he had previously promised Bao Ruijin. He felt that perhaps he could find a way out of the current predicament through Bao Ruijin.
After greeting Lin Xue and the others, Wang Wanru was initially quite uneasy.
When she heard that Mo Yuan was about to go out to deliver a message, she became even more worried. She knew that Mo Yuan was new to the city and unfamiliar with it, and that he would easily get lost if he went out alone. So, she thought of having Lin Lei, who was familiar with them, accompany Mo Yuan. After all, Lin Lei had grown up in Shanghai and knew the city's streets and alleys like the back of his hand.
And Lin Lei? He patted his chest without hesitation and assured Wang Wanru, "Mom, Sister, you can rest assured! With me here, I will definitely be able to help Brother-in-law find his destination smoothly."
Since meeting Mo Yuan a few days ago, especially after being impressed by Mo Yuan's superb culinary skills and tasting the mouthwatering delicacies on the first day, Lin Lei has become a loyal fan of Mo Yuan, just like a fanatical idol worshipper.
All day long, he followed Mo Yuan closely behind, constantly muttering "brother-in-law this, brother-in-law that," like a shadow he couldn't shake off. His purpose, of course, was to find out from Mo Yuan what tempting dishes would be prepared for the next meal. In this way, in just a few days, the relationship between the two progressed rapidly.
However, Mo Yuan shook his head slightly, indicating his refusal, in response to Wang Wanru and Lin Lei's good intentions.
It turned out that the person he was to deliver the letter to was an important figure whom Bao Ruijin had specifically instructed him to deal with, so this person must be someone of great importance. Considering that Lin Lei was still young and might lack experience in handling affairs, Mo Yuan was worried that he might accidentally say or do the wrong thing and ruin the whole thing.
After much deliberation, Mo Yuan finally decided to go alone to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
"Mom, you really don't need to worry. I can handle this little thing perfectly well. I can go by myself. Besides, the address they gave me is very detailed, so I won't get lost. Just let Lin Lei stay at home. I'm not sure how long this trip will take. So you and Lin Lei can just have lunch at home, no need to wait for me! Don't worry, everything will be fine. I know exactly what's going on!"
Lin Xue and Mo Yuan already had a deep understanding of each other. When she saw that Mo Yuan refused to let Lin Lei go with him, she immediately understood that there were probably some unknown reasons behind it.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Mom, since Mo Yuan insists on going alone, let's go with him. Besides, the person who asked him to do this is County Magistrate Bao Ruijin. The matter entrusted to him must not be something an ordinary person can handle. Xiao Lei is still young and inevitably a bit rash in his actions, so it's really not suitable for him to go with him!"
Hearing that both Mo Yuan and Lin Xue had expressed their opinions, Wang Wanru, though still somewhat worried, could only reluctantly agree: "Alright then, but you have to come home for dinner! Mo Yuan, what would you like to eat? Tell me, and I'll prepare something delicious for you!"
Mo Yuan felt very warmed by his mother-in-law's concern and replied with a smile, "Mom, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, I love all the food you cook, every dish is delicious!" After saying this, Mo Yuan turned and left the house.
Based on the address he had, he searched all the way and finally arrived at a heavily guarded place.
