Chapter 47: Falling Apart Overnight



Qin Jianye closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried hard to control his anger.

He knew that if his brother and sister-in-law had not sacrificed their lives while saving the factory's property, the post office leaders could have easily put the blame on Zhao Xinmin.

You can call the police or turn a blind eye to this "troublemaker".

Therefore, even though Qin Jianye knew that Director Zhang was defending Wu Caixia, he could only nod and agree. After all, in the eyes of others, more than 30 yuan was a huge sum of money.

Director Zhang gave Wu Caixia a look, and Wu Caixia quickly stood up to apologize, and withdrew one month's salary from the finance department, along with the three yuan in her pocket, to compensate Qin Jianye.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Qin. This is a little gift from me." Wu Caixia felt so painful that tears were about to come out. In the eyes of others, it seemed more sincere.

Qin Jianye hummed, then said frankly, "I just lost my job and really need the money. I'm very grateful for Comrade Wu's financial support, and I hope you can be more conscientious and responsible in your future work."

With just one sentence, those who were jealous around him stopped thinking.

Wu Caixia was embarrassed and only returned to work after being criticized by Director Zhang.

Qin Jianye pulled Director Zhang to the corner and said in a low voice, "Comrade Zhang, thank you very much for speaking up for what you did just now.

As you said, the most important thing right now is to find my nephew. I have to rush to the provincial capital to check the situation.

However, this matter cannot be left at that.

My father-in-law simply posted a piece of news about his father-in-law's death. Who concealed it? Why? Is there any ulterior motive behind it? Could it be the work of spies?"

Qin Jianye successfully noticed that Director Zhang's expression had changed. He continued, "So, I hope that when I return and the police investigate, Comrade Wu will be able to tell me the whole story."

Director Zhang nodded and said, "Comrade Qin, don't worry. I will definitely ask Comrade Wu to cooperate with the investigation."

Qin Jianye felt relieved and exchanged a few words with Director Zhang before leaving.

I went home with a heavy heart, and the first thing I did when I saw the captain was to explain the situation to him: "Uncle Captain, something happened to my father-in-law. Could you please give me a letter of introduction? I need to take my wife and daughter to visit him!"

Qin Baogen was startled and asked what was going on.

Qin Jianye didn't want to say much before getting the exact news, and only revealed: "Weiwei's brother and sister-in-law have sacrificed their lives."

"What?" When I heard that it was a matter of life and death, and the word "sacrifice" was used, I felt very sad.

Qin Baogen did not dare to be vague and hurriedly brought people to the brigade headquarters and issued two letters of introduction in a row.

One was filled with the reason, the other was left blank. Neither had a time written on it, so Qin Jianye could fill it out while he watched.

When handing it to Qin Jianye, he reminded him, "Don't be anxious, third brother. Come back after you have dealt with the things at home."

Qin Jianye nodded and made a promise: "Uncle Baogen, don't worry. I will behave myself outside and will not cause any trouble to our team."

Qin Baogen's last bit of worry also dissipated, and he asked Qin Jianye to go home quickly to pack his things.

Qin Jianye left and trotted home, ignoring the curious looks of the members along the way. He pushed open the Qin family's door and shouted, "Wife, wife!"

"What's wrong, third brother?" Qian Guihua came out of the house and saw Qin Jianye sweating profusely, and asked anxiously.

"Mom, where is my wife?" Qin Jianye said as he rushed to the toilet.

"He's not there. He hasn't gotten up yet!" After saying this, he realized that there were quite a few people standing outside, and his face suddenly fell.

I thought it was over. The reputation of the third son's wife as a lazy woman would probably spread far and wide.

However, no one was paying attention to this at all. Someone anxiously asked across the courtyard wall, "Old Third, what happened?"

Qin Jianye didn't have time to talk to them, so he ignored them and went to knock on his own door.

Chen Yunwei in the room seemed to have been pulled out of the water. When she heard the knock on the door, she came down in her slippers and opened the door, still in a daze. "Lao Qin, what's wrong?"

Qin Jianye squeezed in and closed the door.

He glanced at his daughter and scratched his head guiltily before saying, "Wife, I have something to tell you. Don't be impatient when you hear it!"

"What's the matter?" Chen Yunwei subconsciously became nervous.

Qin Jianye pursed his lips, looked at his wife's worried eyes, and said with a determined heart: "Wife, your father, my father-in-law, may have had an accident."

"Something happened? What happened? Is my father gone?" Chen Yun said in disbelief: "He was only in his sixties and was usually in good health."

Qin Jianye sighed: "I don't know either. The people on the street said that he and your nephew are missing. They called the police, but they couldn't find them."

The more Chen Yunwei listened, the more confused she became. "Old Qin, just tell me straight. What's going on? My brother and sister-in-law are at home. How could they have lost someone?"

Qin Jianye took a deep breath, ready for his wife to break down and cry: "You, don't worry.

I called the provincial capital this morning, and they said that on the day we came here, my eldest brother and his wife sacrificed their lives trying to save the factory's property.

When Dad found out, he fell seriously ill. He managed to handle the funeral for my eldest brother and his wife, and then he and Xiaojun disappeared."

There was silence in the room.

Qin Jianye looked down and found Chen Yunwei distracted. He became anxious and called softly, "Wife, Weiwei?"

Chen Yunwei came back to her senses with a start: "No wonder, I just had a nightmare!"

Seeing that she didn't collapse, Qin Jianye quickly said, "Let's pack up and go to the provincial capital."

Chen Yun pouted slightly: "What's there to pack? My house is empty, just leave!"

Qin Jianye was choked and couldn't speak, but he still took a package to pretend.

Before leaving, he noticed someone was missing and asked Chen Yunwei, "Where's my daughter?"

"Let's go play!" After saying that, he realized that he had to take the little one with him. He quickly called Qin Zheng: "Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng, go to the foot of the mountain and call Si Yue back."

"Don't worry, Aunt San, Qin Rong has already gone to call him."

The young man left quickly and came back quickly. Qin Siyue, sweating profusely, pushed through the crowd and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Dad, what happened?"

Qin Jianye didn't have time to explain to her. He just pulled her sleeve and walked out.

As he walked away, he said, "Mom, I'm leaving. You take care of yourself at home. When you have time, help me and Weiwei clean up the room."

He hinted to the old lady that he had left something in the house. If you have nothing to eat, go get it and don't be too stingy.

During the short time that Qian Guihua was waiting for Qin Siyue to return, she had already learned about what was happening in the provincial capital.

Although it was uncomfortable to be oppressed by the Chen family, it was still quite painful to suddenly hear that something happened to my in-laws.

She wholeheartedly supported Qin Jianye's behavior, but she was worried that her eldest son would not eat well when he went out and would be bullied.

But she had no time and no chance to prepare food for the third child. She could only put all her hopes on the third child's "knowledge".

Qin Jiandang and Qin Jianjun were also confused. They could never have imagined that the Chen family, who seemed so capable to them, would fall apart overnight.

I can only sigh that things in this world are impermanent.

"Third brother, I'll take you there!" Qin Jianjun said, and was about to follow.

"No need, second brother. I'll buy a ticket to the city and leave. You stay home and take good care of mom."

"Third brother, send a telegram home if you have anything." Qin Jiandang reminded clumsily.

Qin Jianye turned his back to them and waved: "Got it!"
