Jiang Shanshan smiled confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely get into a good university."
Perhaps it was because of this good news that the three of them lost most of their longing for their old friend Zhang Jinguo.
After making sure that the three of them were not as depressed as before, Jiang Shanshan left the cowshed and returned to the Niu family.
By the evening, both Niu Jiandang brothers had returned, but Xu Shike, who should have returned earlier than them, had not yet returned.
When it was time for dinner, the man had not returned yet, so they left some food for him. The family had just started eating when suddenly someone knocked loudly on the door.
"It's so late, who would come?" Zhang Xiangcao put down the dishes in her hands and walked out to open the door.
Everyone continued to eat dinner.
Less than a minute later, a figure running quickly came in front of Jiang Shanshan.
"Sister-in-law, do you still remember me?" The person who came was a young man, who was now sweating profusely and asked.
Jiang Shanshan recognized the other person's identity at first sight.
"I remember you. You were the one who brought the injured Xu Shike back last time. Your name is Liao Xinkuan, right?"
Liao Xinkuan didn't expect that the other person actually remembered him, and an excited expression crossed his dark face.
"Sister-in-law, I came here to inform you of something. Brother Xu was arrested by the disciplinary inspection team, but he told you not to worry. He will be fine. Just wait for him to come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table stood up from their chairs in fright.
Yu Guifang was so frightened that her body swayed twice and she fell backwards holding her head.
"Mom." Niu Jiandang shouted worriedly and ran forward to support Yu Guifang who had fallen down.
Jiang Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yu Guifang was fine. He quickly looked at Liao Xinkuan and asked, "Comrade Liao, do you know what's going on?"
"I'm not too sure. I just happened to go to the city to buy something today and ran into Brother Xu who was being escorted into the car. He told me to say that." Liao Xinkuan shook his head and said.
Seeing that he could not get any useful information from him, Jiang Shanshan did not ask any more questions. He gave him some things as a thank you gift. Then Jiang Shanshan told Niu Dadan and the others that he was going into the city to investigate.
Niu Dadan's brows were tightly furrowed at this time. When he heard what his third daughter-in-law said, he immediately agreed, but he was still worried about his third daughter-in-law going out alone in the dark.
"We have to go. How about this, let the boss go with you. It will be safer on the road with a man by your side." Niu Dadan said.
Jiang Shanshan originally wanted to say no, but seeing the worry on Niu Dadan's face, she had to swallow the words back and nodded, agreeing to his suggestion.
Niu Jiandang borrowed an ox cart from the village chief, and the two of them set off with the light from the flashlight that Jiang Shanshan took out.
When they arrived in the city, Jiang Shanshan directly asked Niu Jiandang to drive the ox cart to the door of the Discipline Inspection Building.
Looking at the building in front of him, Jiang Shanshan took a deep breath and walked in.
"Comrade, I'm here to see Xu Shike. You captured him during the day." As soon as he came in, Jiang Shanshan went to the front desk and told them the purpose of his visit.
The woman at the front desk was in her forties or fifties.
"Is it Xu Shike? Wait a moment, I'll check for you." The old woman took out a notebook and opened it. She searched in less than a minute and quickly found the name.
