Lu Wanqing remembered that when Lin Xiaocui went to Secretary Yu's house to ask where Yu Meifeng was, the secretary said he didn't know and that she might have returned to Dongguan. It turned out that she had been staying in the county town all along!
She decided to wait with Lin Ye outside the hospital.
Not long after, Yu Meifeng appeared at the hospital entrance, but she was extremely vigilant. Before Lin Ye could stop her, she turned a corner and rode away on her bicycle from the side.
Lin Ye hurriedly drove Lu Wanqing to chase after her, but he couldn't see her anywhere.
The county town isn't too big or too small, so finding someone on the street can be a bit difficult.
They thought of Liu Zhengfeng.
He is familiar with the guesthouses in the county town; I can trouble him to find one.
Liu Zhengfeng was very enthusiastic and quickly arranged for people to investigate each guesthouse one by one.
Soon, Yu Meifeng's check-in record was found at a place called Guangming Guesthouse.
When Liu Zhengfeng led Lu Wanqing to knock on the door, she opened it with a joyful expression, only to see a police uniform.
Yu Meifeng's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Lu Wanqing to find her so easily. It turned out that the figures she saw at the hospital entrance were indeed the couple.
But her years of hard work on the road hadn't been in vain; she quickly regained her composure.
"What do you want from me? I need to rest." Yu Meifeng's tone was icy, showing no intention of greeting Lu Wanqing, an old acquaintance, let alone giving her a friendly look.
Liu Zhengfeng, however, adopted the demeanor of a law-abiding police officer, showing his identification and telling Yu Meifeng that this was an investigation and that she should adopt a proper attitude.
"Officer, I'm sick. I just got back from the hospital. What do you want to say?" Yu Meifeng brushed her hair aside and forced a smile at Liu Zhengfeng.
She considered herself to be quite attractive. If Liu Zhengfeng were a man his age and had a wife, he would probably be a haggard old woman by now, and he would be at the age where he was easily distracted. It wasn't worth it for him to compete with her.
Liu Zhengfeng shouted, telling her to stand still and explain why he unilaterally terminated the agreement with Lu Wanqing.
"Officer, I feel dizzy and lightheaded, I think I have a cold. Please don't interrogate me anymore. I was just running errands for my husband, I know nothing about the agreement! Why don't you go ask him?" Yu Meifeng continued to argue.
Lu Wanqing recalled that at the hospital entrance, she saw Yu Meifeng clearly registered for the obstetrics and gynecology department, not for a cold.
She's lying!
But the agreement only listed Huang Ming's name, and if Yu Meifeng refused to say anything, there was nothing they could do.
"Then tell me where Huang Ming is?" Lu Wanqing asked coldly.
Yu Meifeng chuckled, "I don't know either! He's recently gotten involved with some slut, and we're going through a divorce. I'd love to know where he is."
Lin Ye couldn't stand it anymore. He clenched his fists and stepped forward, his intimidating aura instantly surrounding her. "Yu Meifeng, you'd better behave yourself, or I won't be polite to you!"
A flicker of fear crossed Yu Meifeng's eyes, but she straightened up, placed one hand on her stomach, and said without a trace of fear, "Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"
Lin Ye was about to make a move when Liu Zhengfeng stopped him.
It would be fine if he wasn't here, but if he were here and Lin Ye made a move, things would be difficult to handle.
Lu Wanqing also squeezed Lin Ye's palm to calm him down.
"Ah Ye, let's go. They'll definitely get their comeuppance for what they've done."
As the group left the guesthouse, Liu Zhengfeng felt a little guilty for not being able to help.
Lu Wanqing comforted him, "We are already very grateful that you came to help. We will need your help in the future."
"Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything," Liu Zhengfeng said readily, then said goodbye to them.
Lu Wanqing thought to herself that if she weren't pregnant, she would definitely stay in the county town and find Huang Ming. But now the baby is the most important thing. Besides, the agreement didn't specify a termination date. Even if she found Huang Ming, she would only get perfunctory excuses.
A few days passed like this, and the commune issued an approval document, allowing the brigade to become a construction team.
Wang Guangming then began to organize the opening ceremony in a grand manner.
A sign reading "Victory Construction Engineering Team" had been hung by the door of the brigade headquarters, and he had also hired a lion dance troupe to celebrate.
Lin Ye, as the team leader, was invited to speak on the podium.
He passionately described the future on stage, and Lu Wanqing applauded him enthusiastically from below the stage.
Everyone in the group was very excited.
Using the fertilizer provided by Lu Wanqing, the early rice harvest was bountiful. In the past, the yield per mu was less than 1,000 jin, but now it can reach 1,500 jin per mu.
He only took 20% of the harvest from the newly developed riverbank, which was 10,000 jin of grain. However, each person in the entire brigade could get several hundred jin more grain, and families with many members no longer had to worry about food.
Besides grain, crabs are also a major source of income. In another month, the crabs will be at their fattest and most delicious. At that time, everyone can not only enjoy a feast, but also receive a share of the money.
With the establishment of the construction team, the able-bodied men in the family have another way to earn money. How could they not be grateful to Lin Ye?
Unexpectedly, the construction team was assigned its first project shortly after its formation.
It was none other than Yu Guanghui. His son, Yu Xiaojun, was eighteen years old and almost of marriageable age, so he wanted to build him a house.
"Secretary Yu, congratulations!" someone said to him.
Building a house is a big deal, especially since he said he wanted to build a red brick house, which would cost at least a thousand yuan!
Therefore, many people are wondering how he could have so much money.
His son was idle and lazy. After breaking his leg, he became even lazier and didn't even go to work. He could only save up the money he earned as the village secretary!
Yu Guanghui knew that there had to be an explanation for this money, so he smiled and said, "My daughter is very filial; she's given me quite a bit of money over the years!"
"That's right, they've made a lot of money outside, and they know how to spend it on their parents!" Zhou Ling's sister-in-law said sarcastically from the side.
Some people, upon hearing this, mocked her, "What's wrong? Are you envious? I heard Zhou Ling married a fool and now she's decked out in gold and silver. Didn't she give her parents some money to spend so you could benefit from it?"
"Go away, I'm not that lucky! Zhou Ling is such a stingy woman, she's like a dead woman once she's married. I was the one who introduced her, and I didn't get any benefits from it. I did all the work but got nothing in return." Zhou Ling's sister-in-law complained.
Lu Wanqing's expression darkened as she listened to their words.
She had dealt with Yu Meifeng and Huang Ming before. Huang Ming was stingy, so why would he give so much money to Yu Meifeng's family? The money Yu Meifeng received was suspicious.
As for Zhou Ling, Lu Wanqing had heard that the family of that idiot were very wary of her and never even left the house. How come they suddenly have money now?
These things piqued Lu Wanqing's strong interest.
