Chapter 104: Carpet Search for Zhang Zhijie
Strangely enough, on the way back, Yang Aihua no longer felt like she was being stared at.
Perhaps because the body had been disposed of, the ghost had also left? Regardless, Yang Aihua felt a lot more at ease.
At night, after they arrived at the Zhang family's dilapidated house, the three of them huddled together on the kang, looking at the sky that was turning pale, and everyone felt mixed emotions.
Aunt Zhang was missing her grandson, and Yang Aihua was thinking that she would be tied to the Zhang family in the future and was destined to be unable to get rid of it.
Liu Qingqing felt like she was counting the minutes every day. Now she was filled with fear and even began to regret. If she had not gotten involved in this matter, thinking carefully, her responsibility would not be that big, and she was not present at all when Zhang Zhijie died.
Yang Aihua cannot be denied responsibility, so let her be. It is better than having them both go to jail if something goes wrong.
If something really happened to her, her son would be left without a mother. Liu Qingqing regrets it very much now.
The three of them didn't sleep all night and soon fell into a daze. When it was almost time to go to work, Yang Aihua suddenly woke up, changed her clothes, and ran out in a hurry without even opening her eyes.
Liu Qingqing also climbed up from the kang and prepared to pack up and go home.
Before going back, she specifically told Zhang Ma what to do next, so that everyone would think that Zhang Zhijie had sneaked out to play and got lost.
Aunt Zhang nodded with red eyes and tears welling up in her eyes.
Liu Qingqing sighed, "Alright, hold it in for now, I'll make you cry later."
She leaned over to look out through the crack in the door, and seeing that there was no one around, she quickly pushed the door open and went out.
When Zhang Ma was the only one left at home, she immediately stopped thinking about Zhang Zhijie and felt waves of fear instead.
She always unconsciously looked up at the place where Zhang Zhijie hanged himself, and always felt that there was still a corpse hanging there, with legs dangling, sticking out its long tongue and calling her grandma.
The damp and hot room was filled with cold winds, and her hair stood on end. Aunt Zhang really wanted to run out of the house immediately. She didn't want this house anymore!
She was so frightened that she had to cover her head with the quilt and kneel on the bed to confess -
"Zhijie, it's grandma's fault. I shouldn't have let you hang yourself, let alone put a rope around your neck. It's grandma's fault!"
"But grandma never wanted you to die! Grandma loves you so much, you know, it was an accident! An accident!"
"If you want to blame someone, blame your aunt! If she hadn't provoked me, I wouldn't have let you threaten her by hanging yourself! You can also blame your mom. Your mom wouldn't let us enter the Lin Mansion! We are homeless, so I had no choice but to do this! Zhijie, don't come to see grandma, grandma is innocent!"
Aunt Zhang hid under the quilt, kowtowed and chanted scriptures, fearing that Zhang Zhijie's ghost would come to find her.
But it was obvious that the room was calm and she was just scared because she had done something wrong.
When Yang Aihua rushed to the office, she arrived at the workplace on foot and almost was late.
Everyone was shocked when they saw her sallow face and swollen eyelids.
"What did you do last night?" Team leader Chen looked at her with a frown, which scared Yang Aihua so much that her heart started pounding.
"Are you a thief? Look at your eyes." Team leader Chen said meaningfully, "Take care of yourself."
Yang Aihua then relaxed a little, smiled, said something like thank you to the team leader, and quickly returned to her seat.
Lin Wanqing looked at Yang Aihua a few more times and found that she was restless today. She couldn't sit still in the chair and got up from time to time to look around. Everyone was working, but she was the only one who made some noise from time to time.
"Aihua, is there something wrong?" Someone couldn't stand having their work train of thought constantly interrupted, so they couldn't help but say, "If not, why don't you go home and take care of it first? You've been up so long and have to go for a walk, how are we supposed to work?"
Only then did Yang Aihua notice her abnormality. She said sorry and quickly sat down.
For the next two hours, she didn't move at all, and even when she was sitting in her seat to empty her mind, she didn't get up.
Around noon, someone informed Lin Wanqing and Yang Aihua that someone was looking for them at the factory gate.
Lin Wanqing glanced at Yang Aihua and felt something was wrong again. The only person who could be looking for her and Yang Aihua at this time could be someone from the Zhang family.
It's definitely not a good thing.
Lin Wanqing planned to pretend that she didn't know and didn't even get up. She continued to do what she was doing, not wanting to be disturbed by the Zhang family's affairs anymore.
Yang Aihua knew that it was Zhang Ma who came to report the news and pretended that Zhang Zhijie was missing, so she did not dare to delay and quickly ran to the factory gate.
Aunt Zhang was acting, with snot and tears all over her face.
"The child is missing! The child is missing!"
As soon as she saw Yang Aihua, she quickly looked behind her and asked, "Why didn't Lin Wanqing come out?"
"Her son is lost! Lost! Tell her to go find him!"
When the people around heard this, they realized how serious the matter was, and someone immediately ran to the translation department to inform Lin Wanqing.
"Wanqing, put down your work immediately! Your son is missing! We can't find him!"
Lin Wanqing then looked up and looked at the person who came to report the news.
Zhang Zhijie is missing? Lin Wanqing felt a flicker of surprise in her heart. After thinking about it, she felt that it might be a conspiracy of the Zhang family, so she didn't intend to be fooled.
Lin Wanqing just smiled and didn't take it seriously. "What are the Zhang family trying to do now? I don't think they want me to have a day of peace."
"No, this time it's real. Zhang Zhijie is really missing! Someone said they saw Zhang's mother crying and looking for him all the way, asking everyone she met if they had seen her grandson!"
"Okay, hurry up and get up and take a look!"
The person who reported the news was also kind-hearted. He grabbed Lin Wanqing's hand and pulled her out with all his strength. "Who cares if it's true or not? Go and take a look first. If it's a false alarm, then you're lucky! If it's true, how much more regretful will you be as a mother when you think about it in the future?"
Only then did Lin Wanqing put down her pen and hurried out with the elder sister.
To be honest, if something really happened to Zhang Zhijie, she really didn't know how she would feel.
After all, he was her own son, the child she had poured all her emotions into raising in her previous life.
But when she needed care, the child ignored her and even stabbed her in the heart.
But if something really happened, Lin Wanqing felt a little depressed. She knew that she shouldn't have any feelings for this child, but the blood connection between mother and child made her feel lost.
She followed the older sister and quickly arrived at the factory gate.
At this time, a lot of people had gathered at the door. Although Aunt Zhang was not a likable person, she was the mother of the hero Zhang Guodong after all. When she heard that the hero's only son was missing, even the factory director ordered people to follow and look for him.
So the factory gate was crowded with people.
Lin Wanqing knew that Zhang Zhijie might really be lost.
According to the course of his previous life, Zhang Zhijie lived a good life, was able to get into university, and lived a respectable life. Lin Wanqing knew that nothing would happen to Zhang Zhijie.
Even if something really happened, it was just the unpredictable nature of life. In her previous life, that child made her cry dry. Lin Wanqing knew that she no longer had much feelings for Zhang Zhijie.
In this situation, she needed to let people know that she loved Zhang Zhijie very much.
How should one act out a grieving mother? Lin Wanqing took a few appropriate steps before collapsing to the ground.
"Wanqing!" A pair of big hands hugged her in time, comforting her softly, "It's okay, the child will be found."
Lin Wanqing really wanted to say it was okay, but before she could even stand still, Aunt Zhang ran towards her.
"Well, I was wondering why you didn't take care of your son! It turns out you have a strange man around! You're busy hanging out with that strange man every day! How can you have the energy to take care of your child?"
Zhang Ma's eyes were as red as peaches, and her eye bags almost drooped to the corners of her mouth. She pointed at Lin Wanqing's face and asked in a hoarse voice, "Lin Wanqing, do you know that your son disappeared because he missed you?
I told him not to look for you, so he sneaked out and didn't come home for most of the day. I looked everywhere, but no one said they had seen him!"
"You are so cruel! You won't let us into the Lin Mansion! Isn't it just because you don't want your own son? If anything happens to Zhijie, it will be your fault!
If you wait, I won’t let you go!”
