Chapter 223 Going to Ai's House to Find Clues
Lu Guoji watched them get into the car and drive away. He did not return to the ward, but looked in their direction and recalled many past events.
Lu Jingshen was driving, and neither of them spoke, because they were both a little surprised by Lu Guoji's sudden behavior.
After walking for a while, Ai Xiaoxia finally spoke: "Uncle has really come to his senses. He can think from other people's perspectives."
Lu Jingshen said: "I think so too. These words should come from the heart."
"We can't forgive what they did, but they got what they deserved. My aunt always liked to compare herself with others, and now she's like this, it's worse than her death."
"Well, actually, it's more painful for my uncle now that he's awakened. And my uncle's awakening doesn't mean that my aunt and the others can see clearly, so we still have to keep our distance from them."
"That's true. When you get home, remind your parents so they don't get soft-hearted. Especially Zhang Tingting and Lu Jingxue. They're not easy to deal with."
"Lu Jingxue was accompanying a seriously ill patient, yet his hair was still neatly combed and his eyes were bright. It was obvious that he slept and ate well. This man doesn't even care about his own mother. How cold-blooded!"
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed it. Really, that's his biological mother. I really didn't see him being so sad."
"Uncle will suffer in the future. Whoever wakes up first in their family will suffer. Maybe this really is karma."
"Yeah, hey, what a life they have to live."
“That’s what they got through on their own.”
"A good hand of cards was played badly."
After talking about their uncle's family for a few words, the two talked about Lin Mei's matter. They were going to go directly to Ai Weimin's house and ask Ai Zhu first to surprise her. If they asked her suddenly, she would not be prepared and might get some clues from asking.
First try asking directly and see her expression, then think of a way to use some dirty tricks, try both and see if what she says is the same in different environments. Anyway, Ai Xiaoxia now puts all her hopes on Ai Zhu. After all, she is the one who knows that Lin Mei has lost the most clues.
Lu Jingshen’s idea is simple: as long as his wife wants to do something, he will definitely support her.
The two of them went straight in when they arrived at Ai Weimin's house. They originally wanted to find someone to call Ai Zhu out, but Ai Xiaoxia thought that they should go in and see other people's reactions. Maybe Ai Zhu had revealed something to them?
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen enter the yard, Ai Laibao, who was about to leave, was startled and ran into the house: "Mom and Dad, Ai Xiaoxia is here."
Meng Qiuju was setting up the dining table in the house for dinner when she heard Ai Laibao's call. She trotted out and ran towards Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen: "Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia, it's really Xiaoxia. I knew you were nostalgic. You even came to wish us New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival?"
Ai Xiaoxia frowned at Meng Qiuju and said, "You're overthinking it. I just want to ask Ai Zhu something. Is she home?"
Although Meng Qiuju was disappointed, in her heart, it was a good thing that Ai Xiaoxia came, at least it proved that she had something to ask for.
She said, "I'm in the house. Come in quickly and I'll make tea for you."
Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen didn't say anything and followed Meng Qiuju into the house.
Ai Weimin is not at home. He has gone to Ai Weiguo's house. He has been feeling upset recently. The villagers don't pay much attention to him, so he can only go to his brother's house.
Ai Laibao and Guan Mingyue went back to her parents' home. Because they were not well fed and clothed at home, they were willing to stay at Guan Mingyue's parents' home for a few more days. So now there are only Meng Qiuju, Ai Laibao and Ai Zhu at home.
Ai Xiaoping also followed Ai Weimin to his second uncle's house.
Ai Zhu just heard Ai Laibao say that Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were here. She didn't have any thoughts about Ai Xiaoxia coming, since she and she were already sworn enemies anyway. But it was different for Lu Jingshen, since he should be her man.
She quickly wiped her face, combed her hair, and put on some lipstick, determined to let Lu Jingshen see her good side.
After she finished dressing up, she went to the door and said to Lu Jingshen, "Brother Jingshen, come in and sit down."
Lu Jingshen felt the hairs on his arms stand up when Ai Zhu called him that: "I'm not your brother, don't call me that."
Ai Zhu said: "Grandpa saved you. Since I have nothing to do with the Lin family anymore, then from Grandpa's point of view, I should call you brother."
Ai Xiaoxia felt sick after hearing this, but she didn't need to say anything about this matter. She was very confident in Lu Jingshen's ability to confront people.
Sure enough, Lu Jingshen said to Ai Zhu: "You are my wife's enemy, and naturally you are my enemy as well. I won't beat you to death because it's against the law, but if you disgust me, then I don't mind beating a woman."
Ai Zhu felt uneasy when she heard this. She had been prepared to try to get close to Lu Jingshen after the New Year. Now that she saw Lu Jingshen too much, she felt a little uneasy. But then she thought again, it was because Ai Xiaoxia was here, otherwise Lu Jingshen might not have this attitude.
She could only keep silent about this and looked at Lu Jingshen and asked, "You guys came to see me for something, right? If it's about you, I promise to tell you everything, but if it's about Ai Xiaoxia, I won't say a word."
Lu Jingshen said, "It is indeed my wife's business, but if you knew and didn't tell me, I think you should be able to imagine the consequences. Neither of us is a soft-hearted person, and you will definitely have to pay a price."
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Meng Qiuju who came in with a teapot, and suddenly thought of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. If she asked Meng Qiuju herself, it might make them confused and they might actually find some problems.
So she suddenly turned to Meng Qiuju and asked, "How much do you know about my sister Lin Mei's disappearance?"
The iron teapot in Meng Qiuju's hand fell to the ground with a bang. Meng Qiuju's face looked very bad, but she quickly reacted: "I, how would I know? Your sister is lost. You can go find her yourselves. Why are you asking me?" As she spoke, she bent down to pick up the iron teapot on the ground.
Ai Xiaoxia listened to Meng Qiuju's words and her nervousness, and basically judged that she knew something.
Ai Xiaoxia continued to question Meng Qiuju: "Meng Qiuju, you know how ruthless I am. If you know anything, just tell me. Otherwise, when I find out myself, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Meng Qiuju quickly shook her head: "I don't know, I don't know anything."
The more she said this, the more Ai Xiaoxia felt something was wrong: "If you know anything, I can pay for clues. I just want to find my sister. You need money, right? If you give me clues that lead me to Lin Mei, I can consider letting you not move."
She gave Meng Qiuju enough temptation. Now all she needed was a few more clues, because she really had no idea at the moment. As long as she could find clues and find Lin Mei, many things could actually be restored. She would naturally know what happened in the first place, and then these people would naturally be punished.
But what Ai Xiaoxia didn't expect was that Meng Qiuju didn't care at all: "I really don't know anything. I was just shocked by what you said. How would I know you had a missing sister?"
