The next day, after reporting to her workplace early in the morning, Su He went to the school to find the boy from the previous day.
Because she didn't know his name, she could only go to the classroom where she had seen him before, but she waited until the first period had already started and still didn't see him in the classroom.
In the end, Su He had no choice but to ask his classmates for his name.
Su Mingche.
He even shares the same surname as her.
In his classmates' eyes, Su Mingche was very introverted, didn't like to talk, and didn't interact much with others, so they weren't very familiar with him and didn't know why he hadn't come to school.
Su He had no choice but to go to his homeroom teacher, but his classmates didn't get any useful information. The homeroom teacher only knew that he hadn't asked for leave, but he didn't know why he hadn't come.
In the end, Su He could only find out his home address and then went there.
After finding his house, a middle-aged woman opened the door after she knocked. Judging from her age, Su He guessed that she should be Su Mingche's mother, so she told her why she had come.
The woman was shocked when she found out.
He hurriedly said, "Officer, what do you want with him? Has he committed a crime? That brat is such a troublemaker! All he does is cause trouble for the family. He might as well have starved to death when he was a kid!"
Su He frowned upon hearing this and explained, "He didn't do anything wrong. I'm looking for him to find out some things. Is he home? Please call him out; I have something to ask him."
Upon hearing this, the woman hesitated again and remained motionless.
Seeing this, Su He became anxious and urged her several more times. In the end, the woman had no choice but to tell the truth.
"He...he went to the countryside."
"What?" Su He was shocked. "Going to the countryside? How could that be? Wasn't he still at school yesterday?"
The woman's expression was not good, and she clearly did not want to explain. In the end, she simply said, "What does it matter? Every household is going to the countryside now. What difference does it make if he goes?"
After saying that, he didn't really want to talk to her anymore and kept saying that he had to go out, which meant he was trying to get rid of her.
In the end, Su He could only leave with a frown.
However, she didn't leave immediately after going out; instead, she inquired about the situation from her neighbors.
The truth of the matter was quickly pieced together.
Originally, it was Su Mingche's older brother, Su Dafu, who was supposed to go to the countryside, and he was the one who signed up. But somehow, it turned out to be Su Mingche who went.
Many neighbors didn't know about this, but after Su He mentioned it, some people remembered seeing the Su family carrying something out of the house early that morning.
At the time, they thought it was luggage, since they all knew that Su Dafu was going to the countryside.
I even envied how good the Su family was to their child, giving him so many things to take with him.
Judging from the current situation, what they were carrying was probably a person, and Su Mingche was likely given drugs and put on the bus to go to the countryside in place of his older brother.
Upon hearing this possibility, the neighbors, though disdainful of the Su family's actions, were not surprised.
The reason is that everyone knows Su Mingche is not the biological son of the Su family.
Su He was surprised to hear this, and only after inquiring did she understand.
It turns out that Su Mingche's original name was Li Mingche, and he was the child of Su's sister-in-law.
That is, nephew.
Li Mingche's parents were both factory workers in a nearby factory. They died unexpectedly, and he had no other relatives. His closest relative was his older sister. As a result, everything his parents left behind, including their jobs, money, and house, was inherited by his sister, who was from the Su family.
In this way, the Su family went from being rural people to becoming city dwellers with both parents working.
