Mr. Li was a little surprised. "How can you be sure it's me?"
Seeing that he did not deny it, Lu Yanchuan confirmed that his guess was correct.
He asked in return, "Back then, besides you, were there other people who knew about it?"
During these days at the Li family, Lu Yanchuan accidentally saw Mr. Li's handwriting, which was exactly the same as the handwriting on the letter.
So when Mr. Li deliberately made things difficult for him and tested him, Lu Yanchuan never had a single complaint in his heart. He just thought of it as being filial to his mother.
Mr. Li smiled but said nothing.
Just as Lu Yanchuan said, he had indeed written that anonymous letter. Over the past few decades, he had felt heartbroken every time he wished for Old Liu to die. The reason he asked Lu Yanchuan to investigate the truth was probably to give himself some relief.

This year, the whole village had an unforgettable one.
The Jiang family was exceptionally quiet. Jiang Dongfang locked himself in his room and did not come out to celebrate the New Year. He did not even have much appetite for the New Year's Eve dinner and just ate a little bit.
"Give your uncle some time, he will slowly digest it." Xu Hongping stopped Jiang Dong and the two children who were about to comfort him.
Jiang Wanying had no choice but to give up, "Then I'll have to trouble my aunt to take good care of my uncle."
Xu Hongping patted her head and stuffed a red envelope into her hand. "Here, this is your New Year's money. Keep it and stay up all night with your third brother."
Jiang Huaichuan used to give out red envelopes, but after he started working, he felt like an adult and was too embarrassed to accept them. Instead, every year, in addition to giving his sister New Year's money, he would also give small red envelopes to several elders. The amount was not much, but it was all his thoughtfulness.
Outside the yard, it started snowing lightly. People say that auspicious snow means a good harvest, but I don’t know how the harvest will be next year.
Jiang Wanying looked at the candlelights of thousands of houses in the distance, feeling a little melancholy. If the old village chief and his brothers were still alive, the whole family would be happily gathering together to celebrate the New Year.
Think about Lu Yanchuan's mother. She should be staying at home alone at this time, missing her parents and looking forward to her son's return.
She has been living like this all these years, right?
She is like this, and so is Lu Yanchuan.
If it were herself, Jiang Wanying would feel cold all over just thinking about it. Living alone would be too hard.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Huaichuan pulled her arm and walked towards the kitchen. "It's cold outside, let's go inside."
He glanced down at the watch on his wrist, "There's still more than ten hours left before the clock strikes."
The brother and sister went into the kitchen together. Jiang Wanying thought of the factory and asked, "Did you show the draft I gave you earlier to your factory manager?"
"I have seen it." Jiang Huaichuan was about to tell her this, "Our factory director likes your design very much. He said he needs to think about it carefully and will discuss it with me in detail after the factory reopens after the New Year."
Jiang Wanying nodded. They really couldn't be impatient about this. After all, this kind of cooperation was risky, and it was prudent to consider all aspects.
"You asked Grandpa Li to give the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University place to Liu Xi, but what about you? Didn't you say you wanted to go to university? If you can't get in, why don't you finish high school first?"
Liu Xi was able to get the quota because Jiang Huaichuan heard about it from his uncle.
Jiang Wanying was thinking the same thing. "Okay. After the New Year, you can report with me."
If the factory is willing to cooperate with her, it will be inconvenient for her to do anything if she lives at home. It would be better for her to stay in the city under the pretext of going to school.
"That's easy, but I'm afraid you've already given back everything you learned before. I think you need to start from freshman year."
