Although I couldn't hear what the two were saying, looking at Old Meng's expression, he seemed very happy.
He immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Director Lin, you're too polite. Well, you and Manager Wu can come to my house for dinner tonight and pick up some things with your daughter-in-law's handwriting. Ahem, you know. Um, now is not the place to talk..."
The man and Yu Qiu's mother-in-law both began to look around.
Yu Sui immediately lowered her head and pretended to check the bicycle chain.
I don't know if the two men had discussed it beforehand or if they really felt it was inconvenient to talk here, but they nodded to each other and walked away.
Yu Sui then slowly straightened up.
It was exactly what she expected. This so-called investigation, after being passed down layer by layer, would definitely have reduced its efficiency when it reached a small place like a commune.
But unexpectedly, when Yu Qiu became pregnant, her mother-in-law, whose surname was Lin, would actually use her connections to protect her.
It is true that man proposes, God disposes.
No, no, God is still on her side, otherwise how could she have heard it?
Since she heard it, it must be God's will that she should deal with these shameless people!
Yu Sui first went to the post office to mail a letter, then turned around and found a shady place, entered the space, and bought some things suitable for this era.
For example, a bright red wool scarf.
Then, she went to the hospital and quickly found Nurse Xu who had assisted Yu Hemiao in her surgery last time.
Yu Sui handed over a bright red wool scarf: "Nurse Xu, my sister was hospitalized last time. Thanks to your care, she's much better now. I came to thank you again. I just happened to get a good gift. Hurry and put it away."
Nurse Xu said politely: "Oh, what are you doing? You are so polite!"
"Just take it. I told you, my friend is a soldier in the north. He sent me two. I'm giving you one. Take it!"
Although Nurse Xu was embarrassed, the color of the scarf was so beautiful that she couldn't refuse it, so she took it anyway.
Yu Sui chatted with her for a while, and finally got to the point: "Hey, Nurse Xu, last time I heard you say that your friend in the Revolutionary Committee could help me find someone?"
"Who is it?"
"In the People's Armed Forces Department, is there a man named Meng? Do you know where he lives?"
"Meng... Oh, I know everything. No need to ask my opponent. There's only one Meng in the People's Armed Forces Department, Meng Guangzhi. He lives in the alley behind the supply and marketing cooperative. What do you want from him?"
"My friend is serving in the army out there, and there's a document I need to go and ask about. Oh, and is this Meng Guangzhi the head of the commune's People's Armed Forces Department? Are there any other powerful people in that department? I'm afraid they won't welcome my inquiries if I ask them rashly. Could you please tell me more?"
Nurse Xu patted Yu Sui in a friendly manner and said, "Oh, what's the problem? Well, let me tell you, there are usually only two people in the People's Armed Forces Department, and the other one is called Tang Zhengqi..."
The commune sounds very large, but in reality, there are only a few so-called important people. As long as you find someone who has some connection with them, you can find out everything.
Nurse Xu has been working in the hospital for many years, and her family member is a member of the Revolutionary Committee. She quickly explained the situation of the People's Armed Forces Department to Yu Sui in detail.
There are only two people in this small organization, and they don't get along well with each other.
The other Tang Zhengqi is younger, but relying on his connections in the county, he gets along well with the person in charge, Meng Guangzhi, on the surface, but they always slander each other behind their backs.
Because in this kind of position, one person always has to leave before another person can take over as a leader. Otherwise, you don’t know how long you will have to wait for a promotion.
Yu Sui laughed when she heard these things.
They're not getting along? That's right.
Yu Sui and Nurse Xu thanked her and left. She rode her bicycle to the alley behind the supply and marketing cooperative and took a look. There were only four or five families behind it.
Observing the environment through the gaps in the walls of these houses, Yu Sui discovered that in the yard of one of the houses, there was an old man in his eighties sitting. With his bald head, he looked 90% similar to Meng Guangzhi.
Yu Sui called inside, "Old Meng!"
The old man immediately stretched his neck and responded: "Hey, who is it?"
Hoo! It’s definitely this one!
Yu Sui returned home with peace of mind.
That night, Yu Sui went back to her room early, using the excuse of knitting a sweater.
It gets dark early in winter, and people in the countryside also go to bed early. Basically, all the lights in each household are turned off around seven o'clock.
Yu Sui sneaked out from the back window and rode her bicycle to Meng Guangzhi's house, where she had cycled during the day.
Obviously, the schedules of prominent people were different from those of the other members. Two bicycles were parked in front of Meng Guangzhi's house. The lights were on in the main room, and laughter could be heard.
Yu Sui didn't say anything. She first hid in the space and bought two empty bottles of Maotai liquor, then bought two bottles of water and filled them up. Then she put them into the kind of net bag that is common these days, went out of the space and hung them on the two bicycles parked outside.
One bottle per car.
She also bought a black and white camera, of course, the kind with a flash.
Then just wait.
After waiting for an hour, the lights at the door of Meng's house came on, and Yu Qiu's short and fat mother-in-law walked out first, followed by a man in his forties. He was arm in arm with Meng Guangzhi, calling him brother, and kept saying polite words like "I'll leave my daughter-in-law's matter to you".
Grandma Yu Qiu was the first to notice the things hanging on the bicycle and shouted happily: "Hey, why is there something here? Lao Meng, come on, I only gave you a little bit, and you gave us a gift in return?"
The man in his forties behind him should be Yu Qiu's father-in-law. He was the general manager of the supply and marketing cooperative and was very knowledgeable about goods. He immediately said, "Hey, Maotai, Lao Meng, why are you giving me such an expensive gift?"
Yu Sui learned from the county's freight company that these days, Maotai costs more than eight yuan per bottle, and two bottles of wine cost more than ten yuan, which is definitely considered a valuable gift.
Meng Guangzhi was also surprised. He opened his mouth, as if wanting to clarify that this was not a gift from him, but when he looked around, no one came out to claim it.
He just smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
The couple from the Wu family couldn't stop smiling, but they still had to give way to each other. They took the wine from their cars and wanted to give it back to Meng Guangzhi, and Meng Guangzhi had to be polite.
This is the moment I've been waiting for.
Yu Sui aimed at the scene, raised her camera, turned on the flash and started taking a few photos in succession.
Before the person on the opposite side could react, Yu Sui had already slipped into the replacement space.
I heard three people outside startled: "What was that thing that kept flashing?"
"It seems like... lightning?"
"No, no, it looks like a camera! I saw it at a meeting in the county!"
"Huh? A camera? Someone's taking pictures of us?"
"Quick, chase after it and see who it is!"
