Chief of Staff Ye was not blind, and he could see that Qin Lan was lying, but he saw through it but didn't say it out loud.
"These bastards! Qiao Qiao, don't worry, grandpa will arrange for someone to investigate and get the money back for your adoptive parents!" said the old chief of staff in a deep voice with a serious face.
The old man personally sent someone to investigate, how could this be allowed?!
Qin Lan was anxious. "Dad, this is my responsibility. You don't have to supervise it yourself. I will have someone check it out!"
"Aunt Qin, the village party committee where we live is very corrupt, especially the village party committee secretary. He even embezzled the money for the village's tap water supply! We should investigate it thoroughly, but I don't know when the investigation will be completed." Ye Qiao deliberately told Qin Lan about this matter. Otherwise, where would Qin Lan find a scapegoat?
"Qin Lan, this matter has to have a cycle. You should advance the money to Qiao Qiao first and let her take it back to the Qiao family! You can recover the embezzled money later!" Old Chief of Staff Ye and his eldest granddaughter are in perfect sync with each other!
Grandpa, you are really my dear grandpa!
Ye Qiao was secretly delighted!
Ms. Qin has never sent out a penny. She needs to collect enough evidence, which may take a long time. When will the adoptive parents get the money?
Qin Lan was furious, but in order to avoid being discovered, she could only swallow her anger and continue to play the role of the perfect daughter-in-law. "Dad, you are really thoughtful! It's my fault for not being thorough enough that the villain took advantage of the opportunity. Okay! I'll go get the money now!"
"Go! Tell them to investigate the village party secretary's corruption!" the old chief of staff said again.
Qin Lan walked out with graceful steps. Ye Zhenzhen went upstairs to do homework. Only the grandfather and grandson were left in the living room. They looked at each other tacitly.
Ye Qiao couldn't help but say, "Grandpa is wise!"
"Grandpa was confused. All these years, I thought your stepmother was really taking care of your adoptive parents... I'm so ashamed! I should be grateful to them! Qiaoqiao, let Xiaodong go back with you tomorrow. Your adoptive father likes to drink, right? Bring back a box of my treasured aged Moutai!"
"Grandpa, each person can only check in two bottles of liquor on the plane! Two bottles are enough for me! My adoptive father is also a face-conscious person. He will definitely be happy to see me bring back the Maotai specially supplied to the army!" she said with a smile.
The old man laughed repeatedly. Who said his eldest granddaughter was stupid? She was very smart. Qin Lan was no match for her!
As for Qin Lan, a harmonious family is the key to success, so as long as he doesn't do anything too out of line, he will turn a blind eye.
The next morning, Ye Qiao boarded a flight to L City with Qin Lan's 24,000 yuan, the 6,000 yuan given by the old chief of staff, a bunch of gifts, and his bodyguard Xiao Dong.
The 30,000 yuan is enough for the family to build the best house in the village. However, building a house is too wasteful. The house in my hometown is still habitable, so the money must be used well.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish!
My hometown will never become prosperous if we rely solely on human assistance!
——
In the afternoon of a summer day, several women were sitting under a big tree at the entrance of the village, enjoying the cool air and gossiping.
Recently, the couple of the Sun family had another fight, the grandmother of the Sun family fell ill due to anger, and the daughter-in-law of the Li family was pregnant with a girl again. Far away, the shoe repairman in Hedong died, the wife of Liu San, a vegetable seller on the street, ran away with someone... and so on, gossips like this.
From a distance, you can hear the voice of Hu Si Niang, the most famous gossip in the village.
She held a palm-leaf fan in her hand and fanned herself: "Let me tell you, that little girl from the Qiao family is not from the Ye family of J City at all. She is the child of Old Qiao and that young educated youth! Otherwise, why not send Old Qiao to J City to be an official!"
