"Yuanyuan, you and your brother, don't wander around. Mom's going to look for your dad." At that moment, Zhao Yunxiang made a decision. For her brother's sake, she was willing to put her conflict with Zhou Zhixin aside.
The most urgent task is to let Zhou Zhixin find out what happened to Zhao Guohui.
"Yunxiang, Yunxiang, are you in there?" Zhao Yunxiang just thought of Zhou Zhixin when Zhou Zhixin's voice came from outside the door.
Zhou Zhixin had been to several places over the past two days, but hadn't heard anything. He felt that he and his brother-in-law had been searching in the wrong direction, focusing so intently on finding vehicles in Sanhe Town that they had forgotten about two other large companies nearby, which likely had trucks.
There are two large units around Sanhe Town, one is the Yuyuan County Reservoir and the other is the Yuyuan County Hydropower Station. Both units are located in relatively remote areas and are often overlooked by ordinary people.
Zhou Zhixin had just returned from the hydropower station and immediately went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Zhao Guohui, wanting Zhao Guohui to call Yuyuan County Reservoir to inquire about the truck incident.
Zhao Guohui, who usually stayed in the office, wasn't here today? Even Zhao Guohui's wife, Xu Liqin, was nowhere to be seen at the counter. Zhou Zhixin felt uneasy for some reason and had to go home first.
Zhou Zhixin approached Zhao Guohui's house and saw the normally open gate tightly shut, which gave him a start. Honestly, when Zhao Guohui and Zhou Zhixin discussed the shipment of supplies, Zhou Zhixin had found it somewhat odd. Someone who could imitate Zhao Guohui's handwriting and possess his seal must be someone close to Zhao Guohui.
However, before he had any evidence, Zhou Zhixin didn't dare to speak carelessly, fearing that it would affect the relationship between Zhao Guohui and his wife. In fact, Zhou Zhixin had a bold guess in his heart that the person who had cheated Zhao Guohui was definitely related to Xu Liqin. If it wasn't Xu Liqin herself, it must be someone Xu Liqin trusted.
For the past two days, Zhou Zhixin had been focusing all his energy on finding that batch of supplies. Bicycles were a minor concern; not many people in Sanhe Town could afford them. But the cloth issue was urgent. As the year drew to a close, every household would dig out their annual cloth coupons and buy a few feet of fabric to make new clothes. If the Sanhe Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative ran out of cloth before the Lunar New Year, the misappropriation of supplies would become a problem.
"Dad." Zhou Yuanyuan opened the door and saw Zhou Zhixin, who looked worried, outside, and called out.
"Xiaojiu, is Mom home?" Zhou Zhixin saw that it was his daughter who opened the door, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. Yunxiang had always refused to pay attention to him, and she was even unwilling to open the door for him?
"Dad, come in quickly, Mom wants to talk to you about something." Zhou Yuanyuan saw the look on Zhou Zhixin's face and could guess what he was thinking, so she quickly added a sentence.
"Oh, okay, okay." As expected, Zhou Zhixin immediately smiled brightly. Yunxiang wanted to see him for something? Great, Yunxiang finally paid attention to him!
"Zhixin, Xiaohui has been arrested. What should we do?" Zhao Yunxiang saw Zhou Zhixin and asked directly what was in her mind without any hesitation.
When she was at her parents' home, Zhao Yunxiang had always lived under the protection of Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Guohui. After her marriage, although her life at the Zhou family was a bit more tiring, she didn't have to make decisions on major family matters. So, when Zhao Guohui got into trouble, Zhao Yunxiang panicked. Although Zhao Yunxiang had thought about leaving Zhou Zhixin a few days ago, after the major incident at home, Zhao Yunxiang subconsciously still regarded Zhou Zhixin as the backbone of the family.
Zhou Zhixin was also stunned when he heard about Zhao Guohui's arrest by the police. Zhao Guohui had clearly told him that Manager Wang from the county was covering for him, and that he had already repaid part of the payment for the goods. He should be safe until the end of the month when the supply and marketing cooperative was taking inventory.
It's only been two days, and the matter has already been reported to the Public Security Bureau? Manager Wang himself is also responsible for this matter, and it's impossible for him to expose it on his own initiative. Does this mean that someone is playing dirty tricks?
"Zhixin, what should we do now? Dad went to Qingshan City and we don't know when he will be back. What about my brother..." Zhao Yunxiang was very anxious. Zhao Qingshan was not at home. If something happened to Zhao Guohui under her nose, Zhao Yunxiang would never forgive herself. Over the years, although Zhao Yunxiang and Zhao Guohui had lost their mother, they had lived a smooth life under Zhao Qingshan's care. Suddenly, such a big thing happened, and Zhao Yunxiang's heart was in turmoil.
"Yunxiang, don't worry. I will find a way to clear my brother-in-law's name. This is what happened..."
Zhou Zhixin wanted to reconcile with Zhao Yunxiang, so he naturally did not hide anything from her. He told her everything about how the supply and marketing cooperative's supplies had been misappropriated a few days ago.
When Zhou Yuanyuan heard this, she suddenly remembered the piles of sacks and cloth she saw at Ma Shengli's house today.
Is it true? Is the supplies in Ma Shengli's house a coincidence? Or...
"Yunxiang, I checked the power station's truck today. It's not blue. I plan to go to Yuyuan Reservoir in a while to find out about their trucks." Zhou Yuanyuan came to a daze and just happened to hear Zhou Zhixin say this.
Yuyuan Reservoir? He's been delivering fish to their family all this time! The truck at Yuyuan Reservoir was a blue Suzuki. Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.
"Zhixin, I know the trucks from the reservoir are blue," Zhao Yunxiang said quickly. Lao Tian, the driver who delivered fish to the reservoir, had been making frequent trips to Zhoujia Village recently, so Zhao Yunxiang naturally knew the color of Lao Tian's trucks.
"Dad, I know the license plate number, it's XXXXX." Zhou Yuanyuan saw Zhao Yunxiang frowning and thinking, and knew that Zhao Yunxiang must not have paid attention to the license plate number, so she quickly added.
"Yes, this is the number. Xiaojiu, you are really daddy's lucky star." Zhou Zhixin happily picked up Zhou Yuanyuan and spun around in a big circle.
"Dad, dad, I will pay attention to the license plate number next time." Zhou Jiasheng was a little annoyed. How come he was just like his mother, only paying attention to the color and shape of the car, but why didn't he think of remembering the license plate number?
"Yeah, our Jiasheng is also his father's good son." Zhou Zhixin quickly put Zhou Yuanyuan down and stretched out his big palm to touch his son's head.
Zhou Jiasheng grinned and laughed happily. These days, his parents had been silent, and he didn't even dare to laugh. It was almost suffocating him.
Zhou Zhixin was full of confidence. Now that he had found the car, the rest would be much easier.
At this time, the gate of Zhou Ma Shengli's house was knocked again.
Ma Shengli was almost furious. What kind of bad luck had happened to him today? Being woken up twice in one day was just too bad luck, right? He was still sleepy!
