"It's that case. The person hasn't been found yet, and it's estimated that she can never be found again." Aunt Wang sighed again. Such a beautiful girl was gone just like that. It was such a sin.

An old lady said: "The girl's mother can't even get out of bed. As for her only daughter, her father's hair has turned white. Alas!"

"This is going to cost my parents half their lives!"

The old men and women all sighed repeatedly, and the atmosphere became heavy.

"Xiao Jiang, can you help me calculate whether the girl is still alive?" Aunt Wang couldn't help asking.

"Yes, yes, let Xiao Jiang help calculate, just in case he is still alive."

The uncles and aunts were excited, but also very annoyed as to why they had forgotten about Xiao Jiang.

"I need to know the girl's birth date. I can't calculate it out of thin air." Jiang Hanyan said with a smile.

"I'll go find someone. The girl's mother works in the same unit as my brother's wife."

An old lady ran home eagerly to make a phone call.

Jiang Hanyan returned home. If the girl's parents came to ask for help, she would definitely help. Saving a life is also a good deed.

Lu Chen hasn't come back yet. The construction site is about to be completed, and he has to deal with various inspections. He is busy like a dog every day and often comes home very late.

The phone rang. It was Lu Chen calling and saying that he would not be back for dinner in the evening and would have to have dinner with the relevant leaders who came to inspect.

"What's on tonight?"

Jiang Hanyan deliberately joked that Lu Chen had been complaining a lot recently because, not to say 100%, but about 70% or 80% of the people who came to inspect had greedy faces and appetites bigger than elephants, which made Lu Chen very annoyed, but he still had to smile and show his respect.

"We're going to the Tianxiang Club."

Lu Chen's tone was helpless. He would rather give money and luxury watches than go to places like clubs. The smell of powder on those women made him sick, and their pretentious voices and movements made him want to strangle these women to death.

But those men still like them to death. When they see these seductive women, their drools flow. They don’t know what the eyes are for.

"Congratulations!" Jiang Hanyan said sourly on purpose.

“Stop it!”

Lu Chen was even more helpless. He would rather go home and watch boring Taiwanese drama with Jiang Hanyan.

"puff"

Jiang Hanyan couldn't help laughing. Tianxiang Club was a paradise for men, and Lu Chen was the only one who didn't like to go there.

"I'll teach you a trick. After you go to the club, just order the prettiest lady in the club and ask her to play with the leader. The bill will be in your name and you can come back. People will still think you're in the way." Jiang Hanyan said with a smile.

"Wouldn't it be rude not to accompany you?"

Lu Chen hesitated. This inspection was very important. If he didn't satisfy others and deliberately blocked the way, he would lose a lot of money.

"Pfft... You're not a beauty, what's the point of standing there? Just pay the money." Jiang Hanyan almost died of laughter. This guy was too honest.

"Okay, I'll come back for dinner."

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that he didn't have to accompany him. He turned around to say hello to Ji Wenchang and made sure to serve him well. It didn't matter how much money he spent, he could earn it back from the house anyway.

Not long after Jiang Hanyan finished preparing dinner, Lu Chen came back and went to take a shower first. The smell in the club was too strong, a mixture of powder, alcohol, cigarettes, and sweat, making it smelly.

"Is that person satisfied?" Jiang Hanyan asked with a smile.

"Very satisfied, Ji Wenchang asked the manager to arrange the top pick, his eyes were all smiles."

Lu Chen was very upset. He should have done this earlier. He still lacked experience.

Jiang Hanyan laughed again, tears streaming down her face. Lu Chen rolled his eyes at her in annoyance and went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks. Doudou looked at them in confusion, not understanding what was so funny.

The phone rang again. Doudou was very active and ran over to answer it. "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Aunt Jiang, looking for you."

Doudou called out, put down the phone and came back to eat.

The person who called was Ji Wenchang, who wanted Jiang Hanyan to help him with a fortune.

"What do you want to calculate?"

"It's not me, it's a classmate from the association, he wants to find his mother."

"Mom is missing?" Jiang Hanyan frowned. Why are there so many missing persons cases recently? "Yes, his mother disappeared when he was very young. His grandparents and father all said that his mother ran away because they thought the family was too poor and couldn't live a hard life. But he doesn't think so and wants to know the truth." Ji Wenchang said in a slow and soft voice.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"How many years has his mother been missing?"

"Fifteen years."

Jiang Hanyan frowned. After being missing for so long, it might not be a good thing.

There are two possibilities: the mother left with another man, maybe remarried and had children, and forgot about her previous child; or the mother died.

"Let him come over, but he needs his mother's birth date." Jiang Hanyan agreed.

A strange boy's voice came from the other end of the phone. He must be the male classmate who wanted to find his mother. He said that he didn't know his mother's birth date, so Ji Wenchang gave him the microphone.

"Hello, I... my name is Xie Yongzhi. I want to find my mother, but I don't have her birth date."

The male student was very nervous and stuttered.

"Do you have a photo of your mother?"

“Neither do I.”

"There's no wedding photo?" Jiang Hanyan felt a little weird. How poor must they be? "No, my mom and dad didn't get married. She and my dad didn't get a marriage certificate. My dad gave my uncle 2,000 yuan as a gift, and my mom married me."

Xie Yongzhi was no longer so nervous and slowly told the story of his mother. It sounded exaggerated, but in his hometown, this kind of thing was very common.

Parents selling their daughters, brothers selling their sisters, and even husbands selling their wives are common in poor mountain villages.

"My hometown is a very poor mountain village in Anhui Province. To buy daily necessities, you have to go over the mountains. There is no road leading directly to the county town. The village is so poor that there is no electricity. It was only in recent years that electricity was connected. There are many bachelors in our village. No woman is willing to marry us. We can only offer a high bride price."

"So your mother didn't marry your father voluntarily?" Jiang Hanyan asked.

"Yes, but my mother is a submissive person. Her hometown is a mountain village in the southwest, which is poorer than our village. My uncle asked someone to introduce her to me. My father gave 2,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, and my mother married me. Although she and my father had no feelings for each other, they lived well. I remember that they never quarreled. My mother was very hardworking. She raised several pigs and many chickens and ducks. She wanted to support my education and get me into university to leave the village."

Xie Yongzhi's voice became choked with sobs. When he was six years old, his mother suddenly disappeared. He still remembered that it was a summer afternoon. He was sleeping on the cool bed in the yard. He was half asleep when he heard his mother tell him that they were going to the mountains to cut grass for the pigs. She also said that there was some cold porridge in the well water for him to drink after he woke up.
