As the saying goes, work is not tiring when men and women work together.
The couple was busy in the kitchen together, and soon, three or five dishes were served on the table.
During the meal, Li Mu roughly learned about what Aunt Wang's son did. He heard that he did business in another place, but Aunt Wang was not sure what he did specifically.
Li Mu secretly made a decision in his heart that he had to find out what Aunt Wang's son did. He didn't seem like he would be so heartless to Aunt Wang, so he probably encountered some trouble.
After they chatted for a while, Brother Shen arrived. Li Mu said hello to Aunt Wang, then took the pager he had prepared for Zhou Qiang and returned to Qingshui Village.
Li Mu would never have thought that just an ordinary day would make him so heartbroken. In his previous life, he thought his parents had died accidentally, but after some changes, he unexpectedly learned that his parents' death was actually man-made!
————————————————-
Along the way, Li Mu handed the contract he had prepared to Brother Shen. Li Mu, who had not originally planned to sign a contract with Brother Shen, thought about it for a long time last night and decided to sign a written contract, which is better for both parties. After all, it is not clear what a person is like just by looking at the surface. After all, human nature is unpredictable.
Brother Shen was puzzled when he saw the contract that Li Mu handed over, so he said, "Xiao Li, what are you doing? I only graduated from elementary school and can't understand a few words."
Li Mu smiled and explained: "This is our car rental contract. It is good for both you and me. As long as the contract lasts, I will give you 500 yuan every month. If I break the contract, I will compensate you three times the price. If you break the contract, you must also compensate me three times the price. The contract period is one year. If there are any changes during the period, such as an increase in transportation costs, we can re-sign."
...
...
"This is not because I don't trust you. This is just for the good of both parties. If I run away, you can also sue me."
After hearing Li Mu's explanation, Brother Shen took the contract, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then nodded to show his agreement. Then he asked, "Where do I sign? Do I need to put my fingerprints on it?"
"Yes, of course. I'll sign it later. In duplicate, one for you and one for me. I'll sign it after you're done." Li Mu was a little surprised to hear that Brother Shen agreed to sign the contract so quickly.
After all, in this era, only transactions between large companies require contract signing rules. However, Brother Shen was so straightforward that Li Mu couldn't help but look at him with a higher regard.
After signing the contract, the two rushed to Qingshui Village without stopping.
When the car arrived at the fishing ground, Li Mu got out of the car and shouted in the direction of the fish pond: "Qiangzi, catch me more fish today. Business was pretty good yesterday. I'll see if I can sell more today."
After an unknown amount of time, Li Mu still didn't hear Zhou Qiang's voice, so he had no choice but to get out of the car to look for him.
After searching the entire fish pond, they couldn't find Zhou Qiang, so they and Brother Shen hurriedly drove to the village chief's house to look for Zhou Qiang, but they still didn't see Zhou Qiang. However, in order not to worry Aunt Liu, they asked Brother Shen to wait at home, and Li Mu went alone to the secret base that they often went to when they were children.
Sure enough, before Li Mu reached the secret base, he saw Zhou Qiang sitting on a rock not far away in a daze, as if he had lost his mind.
Li Mu walked up and patted Zhou Qiang on the shoulder. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhou Qiang's eyes were blank, as if something had happened. Li Mu realized that something was wrong and asked hurriedly:
"What's wrong? What happened?"
When Zhou Qiang heard Li Mu's voice, he raised his head and looked at Li Mu with a complicated expression, and said with some difficulty: "Brother...Uncle Li and my Aunt Minhua...they..."
When Li Mu heard Zhou Qiang mention their names, something in his mind seemed to explode. He grabbed Zhou Qiang's shoulders and shook him anxiously, saying, "Why did you suddenly mention my dad and my mom? Tell me, what happened?"
"Brother, I've heard some rumors in the village recently. Uncle Li and the others weren't an accident. They could have avoided...avoided the accident. But it was that bastard Wang Jianguo. He had a crush on Aunt Minhua and tried every way to make Uncle Li get into trouble. So...he transferred him to the farm, and as a result, there was a fire, and the cowshed...the cowshed collapsed. But Aunt Minhua saw smoke coming from the direction of the cowshed and went to find Uncle Li alone, and that's when the two of them...got into trouble. When they were found, they were pressed tightly under several pillars and had long since died."
As he spoke the latter part, Zhou Qiang's voice was obviously choked with sobs... He almost couldn't continue.
"But recently I heard from the older generation in the village that the fire did not start in the cowshed, but in the pile where hay is usually stored. I feel that things are not that simple..."
Hearing Zhou Qiang say this, Li Mu's eyes were full of disbelief, tears kept rolling in his eyes, and he felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. He kept muttering, "Impossible, impossible, how could it be man-made? Isn't that what everyone told me? Isn't it an accident?"
In order to verify the truth, Li Mu ran to the village headman's house regardless of anything, pulled Aunt Liu and asked: "Aunt Liu, tell me the truth, my parents...how did my parents die?"
When Aunt Liu heard Li Mu ask this, she looked flustered and startled, "What's going on? Did Xiao Mu know something?"
But soon Aunt Liu returned to her normal self and pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you asking this? Don't you know that your parents were burned to death due to some accident? Have you forgotten, Xiaomu?"
"No, it's not like that, Aunt Liu. Are you hiding something from me? Why don't you tell me?" Li Mu was not satisfied with Aunt Liu's answer and even shouted at the top of his lungs.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Aunt Liu was a little flustered and could only keep comforting him: "What's wrong, Xiao Mu, what's wrong, did you hear what others said? Don't pay attention to them, they are just gossipers, don't take it to heart."
He sighed inwardly and thought to himself, "I finally know. After all, truth cannot be hidden. Why hasn't Lao Wang come back yet? I can't tell Xiaomu by myself."
Li Mu knelt on the ground and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Why! Why is this happening? Wang Jianguo, I will not let you go. Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find you and tear you into pieces!"
The village chief, who had just returned from farm work, heard Li Mu's shouting at the door. He was about to push the door open to ask what was going on when he heard the three words "Wang Jianguo".
Uncle Wang knew that the matter that had been kept secret for so long could no longer be concealed.
