After Zhang Min finished speaking, she turned around, drove away, and left.
Lin Wei quickly asked Shen Jize to move the things into the house.
"Aunt Zhang is too kind."
Shen Jize understood Zhang Min's thoughts to some extent. "She just doesn't want to become estranged from you. Some small things can be overlooked, but didn't you say that her child is planning to eat it for another three years? If it were me, I would also feel embarrassed. Since it's been delivered, just accept it. Two cases of Moutai are nothing to her family."
"Well, it's all been delivered, so it wouldn't be right to send it back. It would be me being too polite." After saying that, Lin Wei laughed, "Now those two kids can eat even more openly. I'm really worried that with their appetites, they'll end up growing sideways, and that won't look good."
But this is obviously impossible for active children.
The three children had no homework, and they would get together to play football and games every day, living a very happy life.
Just as Lin Wei was planning whether or not to take Lin Yuan to the port city to learn gunnery for a while longer,
There was an accident at the school construction site.
Wasn't the school playground closed off?
The area behind it was also sealed off and no one was allowed to enter.
But the children had nowhere to play, so a few of them planned to sneak into the area under renovation.
Upon discovering this, Sha Qingguo immediately drove the children away and reinforced the area where they had climbed over the wall.
But the children who were kicked out were indignant. This was their school, and they always played like this. Why were they not allowed to do it now?
And so, once again, they tried to climb over the wall when the workers weren't looking.
The children don't yet have experience with raising the walls.
Without noticing, his foot got stuck in the gap at the top, and he was stuck there, hanging there.
Fortunately, the workers discovered and rescued him in time.
This one is considered lucky, but the other one wasn't so fortunate; he jumped from the top and broke his leg.
Principal Liu immediately took all the children to the hospital for examination.
When the parents found out, they immediately blamed Principal Liu and demanded that he take responsibility.
Lin Wei wanted to rush to the hospital, but Wang Ying said, "You don't need to go. I can handle this. It's not a big deal. It's obvious that the parents didn't supervise the child properly, but it happened on our construction site. We just need to offer our condolences."
As Wang Ying stated, although the matter has been explained, both parties do indeed bear responsibility.
But one wave subsides only for another to rise.
The children were incredibly mischievous. Even though Principal Liu and the security guard were keeping an eye on them, some children still managed to sneak into the construction site.
If they get caught, all you'll see are the kids sitting next to them drinking iced tea.
But was that iced tea?
Principal Liu took the children to the hospital again for stomach lavage.
"I'm really fed up. How do these families take care of their children? I've been extremely vigilant, but things still keep going wrong."
This time, Lin Wei couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to. "Principal Liu, let's do this: stop the construction for now. Anyway, school starts in half a month. Once the children are in the classrooms, the project shouldn't cause any more problems like this."
After much deliberation, Principal Liu could only nod in agreement.
But perhaps it was just bad luck; as they were preparing to fill in the plot of land behind the playground, they unearthed a bone. The workers then carefully excavated the surrounding area—
Good heavens, isn't that just a child's skeleton?
Now, the construction site has become a crime scene.
The temporary work stoppage has now turned into uncertainty about when work will resume.
After the police officers arrived, they cordoned off the area and gathered all relevant personnel aside before asking, "Who is the person in charge of the construction site?"
Lin Wei quickly stepped forward, "I, I am Lin Wei, the person in charge of the construction site."
"Ms. Lin, how did your people discover this skeleton?"
At the time, Sha Qingguo and Li Qian were in charge of the construction site, and Lin Wei immediately called the two of them over.
"Let them explain to you. I wasn't there at the time; they notified me, and that's when I came over."
Sha Qingguo said, "The construction site hasn't been going well lately. The kids have nowhere to play, so they keep climbing over the wall to come to the construction site. We've been saying we should just stop work for half a month and start again when the kids go back to school, but we always need time to finish up the materials and the work we have on hand."
"When we were dealing with the area near the toilet, we needed to dig up that piece of land. It was Engineer Li who applied to me for it. I thought it would only take two days, and we could just start working on it after the digging was done, so I agreed."
"Who knew that a bone would come out after digging for a short while? I didn't notice it at first, but Li Qian saw it."
Li Qian continued, “We were joking at the time, saying, ‘Don’t worry, someone’s dog is buried here and we’ll dig up their grave.’ We stopped the excavator and had the workers dig with shovels. Dogs are lives too. I thought the bones were intact and we could bury them somewhere else later. But the more we dug, the more something seemed wrong. Upon closer inspection, we realized they were clearly a child’s bones.”
Sha Qingguo said, "She was terrified at the time. I was scared too, but a little better than her. I immediately called the principal and then made a phone call to the boss."
Lin Wei said, "I came to see my brother today. He lives next door and will be here in just a few minutes."
So they arrived a step earlier than the police.
That's all for now.
The police officers wanted to ask more questions, but they couldn't get anything out of them.
First of all, it's obvious from the skeleton that this person has been dead for a long time and has no connection to them.
Secondly, Principal Liu has only been here for a short time, so judging from the timeline, he wouldn't be aware of what happened a few years ago.
"Are there any people who have been here for a long time? Or have you heard of any children going missing? A few years ago, Chaoyang Elementary School was still called Wool Factory Elementary School. I don't think the school had started recruiting students from outside the school yet."
Another police officer said, "But the exact time can only be determined after an autopsy. The main issue is, do you have any long-term residents in this area who would know whose child went missing?"
“If a child is lost, let the children studying here talk about it. Wait, let me call my brother. He studied from first grade until he just graduated this year. He will be going to junior high school next year. If it happened in the last six years, he should know about it.”
Lin Wei's phone call not only brought Lin Yuan over, but also the Su brothers.
"Who, who? Who's dead?"
"I just don't know who died. In the six years you've been in school, do you remember any children going missing?" Lin Wei glanced at the police officer and asked.
The three children huddled together, whispering to each other as if they were still carefully recalling what had happened.
However, the police didn't have much hope, since a full six years from age 6 to 12 is too long for a child to remember.
But their child really does remember.
"Do you remember when Aunt Chun's child went missing during our first year or two of school, I don't know if it was first or second grade?"
