"Wife, do you want your grandfather to help you inquire?" Wei Baichuan could guess his wife's plan; otherwise, he could have just called her tomorrow.
He rushed over to deliver the grain and took the opportunity to make a phone call, clearly it was for his business.
"Well, we don't know much about Beijing. Even if my grandfather doesn't know, he can find out. We'll talk about the future after we confirm the person."
Suti knew that if their assumptions were correct, they would eventually have to confront Wei Baidao, their sworn brother.
“Wife, we are fine as we are. If we ask Huang Cuifen and confirm it, we will no longer have any connection with the Wei family.”
Even now that it's basically confirmed, Wei Baichuan hasn't thought about acknowledging any biological parents; he has no expectations whatsoever.
"Baichuan, whether we admit it or not is not up to us. And why can Wei Changgen scheme against us, but we can't scheme back?"
“If this gets exposed, even if you don’t care, do you think that fake child will let you off the hook? Let’s find out the truth first.”
Suti knew that Wei Baichuan had lived like this all these years and no longer longed for family ties.
But she knew they couldn't escape it. The Wei family sent that child away so that they could have a better life in the future.
If that person rises up, he will come to deal with them just the same way, and then they will have to face him.
And why should they hide? A lie is a lie. Even if the Qi family is truly clueless, she will turn the world upside down. She will not let that person sit in a high position.
Wei Baichuan remained silent. All of this was still unknown, and even if it were true, he had no intention of trying to climb the social ladder.
Whenever he thinks about the days he spent in the Wei family, he feels that he and his wife are doing quite well.
When Su mentioned the post office, the staff there all recognized her; their phones were always spotless after being wiped clean.
No one comes for ten days or half a month, but this woman is the one who comes most frequently.
What could be so important that you keep calling every few days, not caring about the expensive phone bills?
"Grandpa, it's me." Su Ti was very happy when the call connected, her voice filled with joy.
"Darling, you finally called Grandpa! Didn't you say you'd call Grandpa every two weeks when you had a break?"
Commander Guo was keeping track of the time; several days had passed, and he was starting to worry.
“Grandpa, we’re busy with the autumn harvest lately, so the brigade doesn’t give us any time off. Also, I got a job, so I don’t have to do farm work anymore.”
Suti told her grandfather that she had become an unofficial staff member of the propaganda department, as well as the trivial matters of the autumn harvest in the brigade recently.
"Nannan is really amazing." Commander Guo's first thought was that it was his son-in-law who did it, otherwise how could the propaganda department work have fallen to Nannan?
He trusted his son-in-law's abilities; once he took action, he would definitely not leave any evidence against him.
"Grandpa, I need your help with something. Could you please find out about a family in Beijing? They must be quite influential there."
"The family either has connections in the military or in government departments. That family only had one daughter, who married a high-ranking military officer and had a son named Qi Bowen."
Sutiko hadn't forgotten this important matter. She didn't know much, but it was enough.
Wei Baichuan listened attentively from the side, wondering how his wife knew that person's name.
"Nannan, what happened?" Commander Guo's first reaction was that someone had intervened. He then thought about what had happened recently.
Those people didn't make any big moves; were they hiding in the shadows?
“Grandpa, it’s nothing. I just found out that the Wei family has connections with them. I’ve cut ties with the Wei family because I’m afraid they might have some other tricks up their sleeves. I want to find out more about them.”
Suti didn't mention that Wei Baichuan's background was questionable, for fear of making a mistake.
"Are those people from the Wei family causing you trouble again?" Commander Guo was surprised to hear that relations had been severed and things had escalated to this point.
"It's all resolved. They're no match for me. The brigade is on my side now, so don't worry, Grandpa."
“I only recently discovered that they have connections with Beijing. I’m afraid they’ll find a backer and retaliate against us again.”
"I just wanted my grandfather to help me find out so I could prepare in advance." Su Ti's prediction actually came true by sheer luck.
Huang Cuifen did take action; if they had discovered it any later, they would have really suffered in silence.
"Good, my little girl is so smart." Commander Guo smiled, his eyes crinkling. His granddaughter is becoming more and more like her father.
She knows to take precautions, which makes her smarter than her brother. That silly grandson is just too honest; he should learn more from his sister.
"Grandpa, please help me find out quickly. I'll call you again the day after tomorrow," Suti said naturally, making his request.
"Alright, alright, as long as it's someone in the military or government, Grandpa will definitely be able to find out." Commander Guo was already thinking of suitable candidates.
He attended many meetings in Beijing, and there was no one he didn't know who had influence in Beijing. The only thing he couldn't immediately match up with the names that Nannan mentioned.
Suti talked to her grandfather for a while and learned that her grandparents had sent her things again, and that her grandmother was overjoyed when she received the letter she sent last time.
The two chatted for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
"Honey, I haven't greeted Grandpa yet." Wei Baichuan had been preparing for a long time, but his wife had forgotten about him.
Suti: "..."
She forgot about him.
"I'll call my grandpa the day after tomorrow, and then I'll call my grandma. I've already told my grandpa that my grandma will definitely be waiting for me that day."
Suti's maternal grandmother is very busy, and even if she hits her, she might not be in the office. She asked her maternal grandfather to go back and tell her maternal grandmother to wait for her the day after tomorrow.
"Okay, let's say hello to Grandpa and Grandma the day after tomorrow. Let's go, the brigade leader must be getting impatient." Wei Baichuan pulled his wife to pay the bill, finding her annoyed expression adorable.
Suti didn't not want to introduce him to her grandfather; she was just worried that her grandfather would scold him.
After all, given the things that happened in the Wei family, her maternal grandfather and his family could easily take their anger out on him. She planned to find out more about the situation before explaining it to her maternal grandfather.
When her maternal grandfather finds out he's not a member of the Wei family, he definitely won't be angry with him. He might even feel sorry for him. She doesn't want Wei Baichuan to suffer any injustice.
“Let’s go over there to get the package first. Grandpa said he sent me something, and Mom and Dad must have sent me something too.”
"After we finish delivering the grain, the carts will be empty. Let's put it on the carts and take it back directly."
Suti thought it was a coincidence; otherwise, if he went to the county town to buy things and then came back to pick up the package tomorrow, he probably wouldn't be able to bring back a whole bunch of things.
Even if there is space, it would be troublesome to carry all these things away from a secluded place.
"Okay." Wei Baichuan cooperated by covering himself for a moment, allowing his wife to take out the proof from her precious thing.
After giving him an identification slip, he received four large packages in return. Looking at these things, Wei Baichuan realized that this was what families who truly loved their children were like.
