Chapter 160 Wanxian



Chapter 160 Wanxian

After returning home and entering the bedroom, Du Ruo helped Yuan Tingchuan onto the bed, took a warm towel to wipe his face and hands, and changed his clothes.

Just as she was about to turn around and wash up, the man pushed her onto the bed. His hot and moist breath sprayed on her face, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable affection that slowly flowed.

The next morning, Du Ruo endured the pain all over her body and got up. She stretched out her hand and pinched the man. She saw him frown, turned over, rolled up the quilt and fell asleep again. She got dressed helplessly. She had to go to Wan County today and couldn't wait for Yuan Tingchuan to get up.

When she arrived at the restaurant, Yu Min was serving porridge. She had just started eating. Every morning was like a war. The two little guys stayed in bed and acted naughty. Yu Min had to send them to kindergarten before she had time to sit down and eat.

Seeing Du Ruo coming in, Yu Min took a clean bowl, filled it with another bowl of porridge, and placed it in front of Du Ruo.

"Are you going to the company today?"

"No, I have to go to Wanxian today. When Tingchuan wakes up, tell him to call me if he has anything. I won't wait for him to wake up."

Wanxian is still some distance away from the provincial capital, and it will take at least a morning to get there.

"Going to Wanxian? Can you get home tonight?"

"I can't come back. Find a hotel there and stay there first. I can't finish this in one or two days. If I'm lucky, it will be quick. If I'm unlucky, it will take a while. I'll leave the house to you. I'll leave soon."

Yu Min was used to it. She nodded and said, "Don't worry about the family. I'm here for you."

Du Ruo was relieved: "Yesterday, Sister Chen brought me some wild vegetables. I think the children are very willing to eat the dumplings with this filling. You can decide."

"My cousin didn't tell me where she dug it. She didn't tell me in advance either. If I had known, I would have gone with her."

"She seems to want to go. I heard her say yesterday that she wanted to freeze some in the refrigerator. You can ask her to go. Tingchuan will be at home these two days, so it doesn't matter whether you dig wild vegetables or not. You can go for a walk, breathe some fresh air, and relax."

"That's fine. Let me arrange a time."

The car drove along the country road. Du Ruo did not bring many people this time. He only brought Secretary Li and two bodyguards. He did not even bring a driver. Secretary Li was driving.

It was very quiet in the car, and Du Ruo was thinking about Chen Hong all the way.

In fact, she didn't know Chen Hong in her previous life. She was not a professional antique collector and didn't pay much attention to this industry. It's just that the reports were everywhere at that time and the incident was known to everyone. Because it was not far from her hometown and they were half-fellow villagers, Du Ruo paid more attention to it when she read the newspaper.

Chen Hong's family has been in the antique business for generations, and they are particularly good at porcelain restoration, which is the Chen family's forte. However, when it came to Chen Hong's generation, they happened to encounter a special period of time. Not only did they fail to make money in business, but their skills were also useless.

Chen Hong went to Wanxian as an educated youth in the 1970s, and later married into the Shen family. Her life was pretty good at first. Her husband Shen An worked in the county supply and marketing cooperative, which was a good unit with a lucrative job. They also had a son, Shen Qing, and the family of three lived in harmony.

So when the time came for everyone to return to the city, Chen Hong did not leave. Her home was in Wanxian, and she had no relatives in her hometown, so she naturally gave up the idea of ​​returning to the city.

Besides, at that time, educated youth returned to the city on a large scale, and not only was it difficult to find a place to live, but it was also difficult to find a job. She lived comfortably in Wanxian and gradually put her mind at ease.

Who knew that later her son fell seriously ill and the medical expenses were astronomical, which caused a disagreement between the couple.

Her husband Shen An believed his mother's words and planned to give up the child. He had a good reason. It was not that he was unwilling to pay, but that he had no place to find such a large sum of money. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven. This was all destined. It could only be said that Shen Qing was not meant to be with them, so they could just have another child.

Chen Hong refused to give up no matter what. This was her own flesh and blood, and she had worked hard to raise him to his teens. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would work hard.

Seeing that they couldn't convince her, her husband and mother-in-law simply hid all the money in the house and refused to fill the hole no matter what.

Seeing her son getting weaker and weaker, Chen Hong angrily had a conflict with her husband and mother-in-law, but it was useless. Later, Shen Qing passed away under such circumstances. Chen Hong had no place to vent her anger, so she bought a packet of rat poison and simply gave it to the whole family.

Du Ruo calculated that at this point in time, Chen Hong's son should not have been diagnosed with the disease yet, so it would be a bit difficult for her to go with her. But even if it was difficult, she had to give it a try.

She has so many porcelains waiting to be "saved", and this job cannot be done by non-professionals.

The supply and marketing store in Wanxian County had gone bankrupt a long time ago and was now privately contracted out by none other than Chen Hong's husband, Shen An.

Although the newly established department store is not very big, it has two floors and is one of the best department stores in the county.

Secretary Li went in to get information, and soon returned to the car and said to Du Ruo: "Boss Du, I just secretly inquired about it. Is there something wrong with Shen An? He has an ambiguous relationship with the accountant in the department store, and the accountant is pregnant. It is said that the child is his, but this kind of thing is hearsay, so it is not accurate."

Secretary Li is quite capable. He was out for only half an hour and he had already found out a lot of things. He is indeed good at getting along with people and exchanging information.

Du Ruo nodded, knowing that what Secretary Li asked was the truth.

Several people found a hotel in the county town and rested temporarily. Du Ruo planned to walk around the county town to understand the situation first.

There was a busiest street in the county town, with two- or three-story buildings on both sides of the street. The hotel they stayed in was right next to the street.

At around three or four o'clock, walking along the street, there are small stalls on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of things, but nothing too expensive, just vests, socks, insoles, gloves and the like, or vegetables and other daily fruits and vegetables.

At this time, there were gradually more people on the street, people getting off work, picking up their children from school, and people from the county town buying groceries and going home to cook.

A burst of fragrance came from a small stall in front selling grilled fish. A wire curtain was placed on the small coal stove. On the curtain were a few fish, brushed with bright red sauce, giving off an enticing aroma.

Six or seven children with school bags on their backs gathered around the stove, each holding a dollar or two in their hands, intending to buy fish.

Grilled fish is a luxury. Some children only have a few cents for their daily pocket money and have to save for a week to buy a fish. Usually, they can only drool at the sight of the fish.

Naturally, there were also wealthy families in the county town who gave their children more pocket money. Judging from the clothes and appearance of the children Du Ruojian was surrounded by, their family conditions should not be bad.
