"Don't get excited, don't get excited. Listen to your brother slowly. If they've found him, how could he run away?" Sui Wenjing advised.
Zhao Qinglan sat down, but her trembling hands, tightly clenched, betrayed her feelings.
“I have an old comrade-in-arms named Li Huai. He’s twenty-eight years old this year. He’s a very handsome man, about 1.8 meters tall, and has two sons…”
The more Zhao Qinglan listened, the brighter her eyes became.
It matches up! It all matches up! It must be Li Huai!
After Li Aiguo finished speaking, Zhao Qinglan nodded vigorously.
"Brother, he is my benefactor. That Li Huai is the benefactor I'm looking for."
"What a coincidence!" Sui Wenjing exclaimed happily.
Indeed, what a small world it is; Brother Li's comrade-in-arms is actually Li Huai's current superior.
But does this also mean that they are indeed destined to be together? Zhao Qinglan became happy.
It was getting late, and Li Aiguo and his wife didn't have much to talk about with Zhao Qinglan anymore.
In particular, the so-called benefactor was fabricated by Zhao Qinglan, and upon closer examination, it simply didn't hold water.
Once Zhao Qinglan confirmed that she had found the right person, she felt relieved and didn't intend to trouble Li Aiguo any further.
That night, Zhao Qinglan tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling asleep.
Sun Shengli hadn't mentioned Li Huai's divorce when he talked to his old comrade-in-arms.
Therefore, Li Aiguo did not mention it when he brought it up.
But Zhao Qinglan calculated the time, and it was already past November. Even if they hadn't divorced yet, they would probably divorce soon.
Then Xiaoduo and I can start preparing and figure out how to get closer to Li Huai.
With Li Aiguo as the middleman, she also found out which unit Li Huai was in, making it easy to find him.
As for Li Aiguo, she naturally still used the pretense of repaying a debt of gratitude.
Once the mother and daughter arrive at Li Huai's unit, she will proceed with her plans gradually.
On this day, Zhao Qinglan was excited and happy, but things were not so good at her family home in the countryside.
Old Mrs. Wang and her daughter and son-in-law went to the Zhao family. As soon as they arrived, they put their hands on their hips and started cursing, demanding that the Zhao family hand over Zhao Qinglan.
His words implied how much Zhao Qinglan had wronged the Wang family, and that she was no longer a member of the Wang family after their divorce.
They also demanded that Zhao Qinglan hand over all the money and tickets she had stolen from the Wang family, or else the matter would not end.
Zhao Qinglan's father was the eldest son of the Zhao family, but he was weak and honest his whole life.
Zhao Qinglan's mother was disliked by her in-laws because she had three daughters but no sons.
Although the old man of the Zhao family is no longer here, her fierce mother-in-law is still here.
Over the years, those who were once bold and capable in their youth have gradually become timid, submissive, and afraid to speak up.
Suddenly, her daughter's in-laws came to her door and started cursing her.
The Zhao family was shocked and filled with fear and guilt.
Zhao Qinglan's mother didn't dare to utter a sound as the Wang family continued to curse her, and she even wiped away her tears.
"That Da Ni is just unbearable. Why did she have to make such a fuss over nothing? Now look what's happened."
That's right. As soon as the Wang family came, they subconsciously assumed it was all Zhao Qinglan's fault.
This is also why Zhao Qinglan would rather leave her hometown than return to her parents' home.
She had been disappointed enough in her past life and didn't want to be disappointed again.
In the end, it was Zhao Qinglan's grandmother, Zou, who heard the news and rushed over, where she started arguing with Old Lady Wang.
Zou was biased and disliked her eldest son's family, favoring only her other two sons, especially her youngest son, simply because he was the most obedient and married into her family.
Before Old Man Zhao was alive, Zou and her husband lived with the eldest son's family.
But after the old man passed away, the three brothers completely divided the family property, and the old lady went to live with her youngest son, asking her other two sons to give her retirement money and food every year.
How much food can an old woman like her eat throughout the year? And she still has good legs and can do a lot of work.
This is also why Zhao Laosan, who is lazy and loves to eat, is willing to let his elderly mother live in his home.
If Zhao Qinglan and Wang Dazhi hadn't divorced, Zou Shi might have had to force the eldest son's family to apologize so that her family could benefit from the Wang family's influence.
But now that they're divorced, wouldn't that mean they've completely broken off relations?
Even if she disliked the eldest son's family, they were still family, and Zou Shi could tell that. In particular, she was afraid that the Wang family would think they were in the right and make some demands.
She cursed Zhao Qinglan, her granddaughter, countless times in her heart, but Zou Shi, with her explosive fighting spirit, was no less formidable than Old Lady Wang when they clashed.
Zhao Laosan's wife, Xiao Zou, naturally sided with her mother-in-law and joined the fray.
Zhao Lao Er's wife, Wang, secretly hid away.
There was no way around it; she was a relative of Wang Dazhi. It was she who arranged for Zhao Qinglan to marry Wang Dazhi, a widower.
Now that both sides are at war, it's difficult for her to help either side, so she might as well hide away to save herself the trouble.
There was another reason why Zou and her youngest daughter-in-law were working so hard: they were after the money and tickets that Old Lady Wang had been talking about.
Thinking of her eldest granddaughter's timid and honest nature, she figured that once the girl came home, she, as the grandmother, could coax her a little, and all those money and tickets would be hers.
Although Old Lady Wang called on her daughter and son-in-law for help, the Zhao family was, after all, a local household in the village, and the villagers naturally sided with the Zhao family. After arguing back and forth, they not only failed to get the money back, but also harbored a lot of resentment.
Even after the argument ended and they left, Grandma Wang and the others didn't see Zhao Qinglan and her daughter, which further solidified their belief that the Zhao family was hiding them.
As soon as the Wang family left, Old Mrs. Zhao, Zou, started cursing at her eldest son and daughter-in-law.
"You two are such quiet types, you've been bullied to the point of being unable to utter a single word, you deserve to be scolded."
She never imagined her eldest son and his wife would end up like this; she deserves a lot of credit for that.
Zhao Laoda lowered his head even further as his mother scolded him, and Zhao's mother, Sun, shed even more tears.
"Cry, cry, all you do is cry! Hurry up and go find Qinglan and the others and bring them back. They're probably wandering around somewhere in the county." Zou said with exasperation.
"Oh dear, my poor granddaughter."
The sooner she finds the person, the sooner she can get those banknotes out of her eldest granddaughter.
...
Li Aiguo had just arrived at his office in the morning when he received a call from his old comrade-in-arms, Sun Shengli.
Li Aiguo immediately told Sun Shengli that Li Huai was Zhao Qinglan's benefactor.
Now it was Sun Shengli's turn to be puzzled.
Didn't that kid Li Huai say no? He even swore that he saved someone, how could he not remember?
This kid has such a bad memory at such a young age.
Since that's the case, that's even better. Sun Shengli immediately inquired about Zhao Qinglan's situation from his old comrade-in-arms.
When Li Aiguo realized that Sun Shengli wanted to matchmake Zhao Qinglan with that guy named Li Huai, he was initially shocked, but after the shock subsided, he actually thought it was not a bad idea.
His old comrade-in-arms knew him well and said that Li Huai was a good person, so he must be.
Since they're already divorced, both are still young, and their children are small, they'll definitely remarry in the future. Now that we have a benefactor as a connection, introducing them is definitely better than introducing strangers.
Soon, the two finalized their plan to bring the two together over the phone.
Both Li Huai and Zhao Qinglan, who were being targeted, sneezed.
