"Thank you. Who are you?" After taking a rest, she calmed down. If these two kind people hadn't come to help her, she was afraid she would not have the face to see Shi Shichang again. Even if he didn't despise her, the gossip in the town would drown him out. She didn't want him to be dragged down by her.
Tian Xiaolan and Li Weimin stayed by her side and didn't disturb her, in case the group of street urchins came back again. It would be so scary for her to be alone outside as a girl.
"No need to thank me. Everyone will help if they see you on the road." Li Weimin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He didn't do anything but just chased the person away.
"It's so late now, where are you going?" the woman asked worriedly. From the sound of their voices, it seemed that the two men were young and their parents were not around.
"We're here to look for someone, and we haven't found her yet."
After this little episode, I remembered that there was still someone I hadn't found. Now she probably has gone home, so I might as well go back to her house to look for her.
The woman asked them where they were going, thinking that since they had helped her, it was only right for her to help them. "Can you tell me who you're looking for? I grew up in this town, I should know him!"
"I think you should recognize her. We are looking for Shi Shichang's wife. We don't know her name, but we know where she lives." Tian Xiaolan did not hide it. One more person would help them with one more hope.
"What do you want from him?" the woman asked, her eyes a little timid.
"You know her, Director, right? He was arrested, and then told me—"
Before he could finish, Tian Xiaolan quickly called him: "Brother, didn't he ask us to tell his wife that he can't go back today! Tell her not to worry and go to bed early!"
"No, he didn't say—"
"You must have remembered it wrongly." Tian Xiaolan interrupted him again.
The woman took Tian Xiaolan's hand and asked with concern: "How is my lover? Is he okay?" She didn't expect that they were not only her saviors, but also came to help her lover pass on the message. However, they never worked overtime before, and even if they worked overtime, they would not stay out so late. She felt something was wrong.
He was trying to find a breakthrough with Li Weimin, but he was still skeptical. When he thought about the fact that he had just encountered these hooligans on his way home, they appeared again, and his eyes became wary: "How do you know him? Why did he tell you this information?"
Seeing that the woman didn't believe him, he didn't beat around the bush with her: "Actually, your lover didn't want you to worry. He was taken away by the inspection team. We don't know what happened exactly."
"Where was he taken? I want to find him!" The woman looked at them eagerly, hoping that they knew where the person was being held.
Li Weimin said to her, "We've already sent someone to look for him. Don't worry too much. Just wait for him to come back."
"Oh, where are you staying tonight?"
"We can just find a place to sleep for the night."
"Come to my house, don't look for anywhere else." The woman took the initiative to invite them to her house. It would be dangerous for the two of them to be alone outside, so it was just right for them to have her company.
"Don't be angry when I tell you something. Your lover got into trouble because of me."
"I don't blame you. I know what kind of person he is. He wants to be a good person all day long. People say that doing good things will be rewarded, but I haven't seen any good rewards!" This is not their fault. Even if she was not there, problems would have arisen sooner or later. She had advised Shi Shichang many times not to do this job. The salary was too low. She could not see any of the salary she received every month. She gave it all to the lonely elderly and children. However, her family was also in financial difficulty and relied entirely on her for a subsidy. How could she use it all?
"Sister, we will definitely rescue the people tonight." Li Weimin blurted out the plan for the evening without any preparation.
"Don't go. Don't let anything happen to you." How would she explain to their parents then? She couldn't let them harm their two children because of her.
"Don't worry, sister, let's go see if he's there first." Tian Xiaolan faced her with a serene smile, and anyone who saw this smile would naturally relax. "Brother, send us back, and then go find Wenjie to see where he's been tracking us. We'll go check it out tonight."
"Be safe. If you need any help, please let me know. You're welcome."
Tian Xiaolan and Director Shi's wife walked in front, and Li Weimin walked behind. Even if they made a surprise attack, he would be able to protect them in the first time.
Seeing that they have not given up their lovers, I feel a little touched. Maybe good people
"What are your names?" After chatting for so long, I still don't know what their names are, I only know that they are brother and sister.
Li Weimin introduced: "My name is Li Weimin, her name is Tian Xiaolan, I am her younger sister."
She didn't think much about it. Maybe one took her mother's surname and the other took her father's. Although it was rare, it did happen.
"My name is Zhou Qiaoqiao, you can call me Sister Qiao."
Tian Xiaolan followed her words and called out, "Qiaojie."
"Hey." Zhou Qiaoqiao took them back home. There were not many people along the way. Even if there were, they were busy cooking and eating. When they opened the door, they saw a rather cramped room with only a bed and clothes on it that Shi Shichang had changed out of yesterday but had not had time to wash.
Zhou Qiaoqiao threw the clothes into the basin so that there was room for them to sit. She saw that there was still a head of cabbage among the vegetables at home, so she peeled off the vegetables one by one and tore them into pieces.
Shi Shichang usually cooks, and they can basically have meals as soon as she comes back. Because of the time difference, Shi Shichang will prepare meals for her in advance and keep them for her to heat up when she comes back. Thinking about it makes her miss him a little. She doesn't know if he has eaten yet or if he has been bullied.
Li Weimin whispered in Tian Xiaolan's ear: "Why didn't you tell her we were here to get something?"
"What would she think if I told her? Are we here to save people or for that thing?" Maybe that thing was very important, and he let her come and get it because he trusted them. Maybe he didn't tell her to protect her.
I looked around but didn't find anything suspicious. I touched the bed and found a corner of yellow paper under the pillow.
"Block it for me, let me see what it is!"
Li Weiguo stood up obediently, and walked around the room as if he had been sitting for a long time, and took the opportunity to see how she was doing.
Tian Xiaolan pulled out the paper and saw that it looked very familiar. It was her test paper. She didn't expect him to take it home. He must be afraid of losing it.
After reading it, he put the paper away and went to the kitchen.
Zhou Qiaoqiao tinkered in the kitchen for a while before the dish was almost ready. She was busy cooking and lighting the fire, running around.
Li Weimin: "I'll light the fire, you cook."
