"Excellent!" Lin Shuyue's compliments were sincere. Li Mingfang and Li Weisheng looked especially awful in their attire. Even from a distance, one could see the filthy cotton-padded jacket he was wearing was painted with dirt.
She don't know how he styled his hair, it was all messy and tangled up, not much different from the beggars at the foot of the wall. Some of the beggars were even cleaner than Li Weisheng.
Lin Shuyue's praise made Li Mingfang smile even more happily. They both looked at Li Weisheng. As Li Weisheng walked over, someone threw money into his bowl. Li Weisheng skillfully stopped and bowed to express his gratitude.
Lin Shuyue simply couldn't bear to watch.
Li Weisheng finally walked up to them. They could smell his scent from a distance, but no one reacted on it. The three of them said a few simple words and walked out.
Li Weisheng found a public restroom outside the airport and went in with his sack. It took quite a while for him to change his clothes and come out. Li Mingfang was still wearing her flowery cotton jacket and military coat.
Her clothes didn't look good, but they were warm. Besides, her clothes had already been worn by the old lady, so she had no clothes to change even if she wanted to.
The three of them went to the airport together. Li Weisheng and Li Mingfang were chatting animatedly. However, they didn't come together to chat, instead sandwiching Lin Shuyue in the middle. Lin Shuyue looked very tired.
"Ah Yue, Ah Sheng and I have agreed that we will donate all the money we earn today." Li Mingfang and Li Weisheng finally finished their discussion and told Lin Shuyue the result.
After escaping death last night, and having to return to save people even though both she and Lin Shuyue were safe, Li Mingfang felt that she had to do some good things, as good deeds will be rewarded.
They have done so many good deeds, so at least some of them will benefit from it, right?
Lin Shuyue agreed with the proposal: "Okay, if we have money in the future, we can donate some of it to charity."
Because of the issue of charity, the three of them had a heated discussion, and in the end, they decided to donate a portion of their money every month to children in the mountains.
They bought the next flight back to Pengcheng. The moment they boarded the plane, Li Weisheng's tense mood finally relaxed.
The total flight from the airport in the provincial capital of Gan Province to Pengcheng Airport took two hours. After the plane took off, Lin Shuyue and the other two fell asleep at the same time.
They were so exhausted from last night until now, and their life was so exciting that the three of them slept all the way to Pengcheng.
After getting off the car, the three of them felt a little depressed.
Li Weisheng was sitting in the wheelchair provided by the crew and was pushed down by Li Mingfang.
Li Weisheng called home before boarding the plane, so as soon as they got off the plane, Li Weisheng's cell phone rang on time.
The latest model of slider phone he used when he was in Pengcheng was left at home. He used a sturdy and drop-resistant Nokia, which was not too big and could fit in his palm. This phone had been with him for the past half month.
The place where he hid his cell phone was also quite interesting. When he came by train, he saw an old lady sewing money into her pants. He followed suit and sewed a pocket on the inside of his pants on his thigh, tightly covering a special part of the body.
Men's thighs are relatively thick, and the phone is inside, so the thugs from Liutoushan would not specifically touch this place.
That's why he was able to keep his phone until now without missing a single message. Of course, there are also disadvantages to putting your phone in your inner thigh pocket.
Walking jam! The result of this jam was that he walked with a slight limp. Before he successfully reported Liu Tou Shan, everyone in the coal yard thought there was something wrong with his legs.
The reason his leg was broken was because a thug beat him because he didn't like the way he walked crookedly.
Thinking of this, Li Weisheng hung up the phone and cursed the thug for being so immoral.
What kind of person are they to kick a lame man's good leg?
"Ah Sheng, I saw my aunt." Li Mingfang pointed to the front.
Li Mingfang and Li Weisheng have a stable relationship, and their villages are not far from each other. Now their mothers will make plans to play mahjong from time to time.
Whenever Li Weisheng's mother got something good at home, she would send some to Li Mingfang's family.
Li Mingfang also gets along very well with her. Last New Year's Day, Li Weisheng's mother even bought a set of clothes for Li Mingfang.
The price is not cheap, it is equivalent to Li Mingfang's monthly salary.
After hearing what Li Mingfang said, Li Weisheng immediately looked up.
As his parents' only son, he had never been away from them for so long except when he was in college.
To be honest, he was moved the moment he saw his mother.
But then, his mother made the feeling of gratitude that had just risen in his heart disappear without a trace.
"Fangfang, are you tired? Let me see you. You've only been gone for one day, and you don't look good." Li Weisheng's mother first greeted Lin Shuyue, and then without even looking at Li Weisheng, she pulled Li Mingfang and said to her with distress.
"Not tired, not tired." Li Mingfang replied quickly. The future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands, and for a moment, the scene was very harmonious.
Li Weisheng's mother would occasionally ask Lin Shuyue a few questions, all of which were praises. As for Li Weisheng, Lin Shuyue wasn't sure if his mother had even glanced at him three times today.
Li Weisheng's mother finally finished the pleasantries and said, "Let's go, I've booked a restaurant, let's go have a meal."
Li Weisheng's mother held Lin Shuyue in one hand and Li Mingfang in the other and walked out of the airport.
Lin Shuyue walked away and turned to look at Li Weisheng, who was struggling to turn his wheelchair.
"Auntie, Ah Sheng hasn't caught up yet." As Li Weisheng's girlfriend, Li Mingfang still feels sorry for him.
"Don't worry about him. He's a grown-up and can go around on his own." Li Weisheng's mother taught Li Weisheng the three great rules since he was a child.
When Li Weisheng was still unable to take care of himself, the first thing she would consider when encountering something was whether she could avoid doing it. If she had to do it, she would think about whether she could let others do it. Only when others were unable to do it would she take action.
After Li Weisheng was able to take care of himself, whenever something happened, she would never help if Li Weisheng could do it.
Because of the matter of educating Li Weisheng, Li Weisheng's mother has never been understood, but she doesn't care at all. After training her child to take care of himself, she is really happy as a mother.
Of course, she is not the kind of mother who does nothing. When Li Weisheng needs help, she will appear in front of him no matter how important the matter she is doing.
Li Weisheng's mother was particularly proud of her education. As she walked outside, she talked about her parenting experience with Lin Shuyue and Li Mingfang. Lin Shuyue and Li Mingfang listened very attentively.
Li Weisheng's mother's car was just outside the airport. Lin Shuyue and Li Mingfang got in the car first. Li Weisheng's mother waited for Li Weisheng to come and personally helped him into the car. After he sat firmly and made sure that he was fine, she drove the car.
When they arrived at the hotel, she immediately helped Li Weisheng get out of the car. Her car had a wheelchair, which was better than the one provided by the airport. It was electric. Li Weisheng sat in the electric wheelchair, and Li Weisheng's mother completely ignored him.
Obviously, getting on and off the car seemed to be something Li Weisheng couldn't do on his own, in his mother's eyes.
This is a farm house located in the Shangcheng District of Pengcheng. There are many cars parked in the yard and many fruit trees planted around it. There are no fruits in this season, but the trees are still lush and green.
There was a one-story bungalow behind the yard. Lin Shuyue and the others walked in. It was dinner time, so there were quite a few people there.
They found a table in the lobby and sat down.
The waiter quickly brought the menu. Lin Shuyue and the other two ordered one dish each, and Li Weisheng's mother ordered four or five.
The tea was served and Li Weisheng's mother brewed it herself. The four of them began to chat. This time, Li Weisheng's mother was finally willing to take Li Weisheng to play with them.
In the middle of the game, Li Weisheng's mother went out to the bathroom, and Lin Shuyue and the other two played together. At this time, a new table arrived behind them.
"Tell me, where did Lao Hu's son go? You said you searched the whole house but couldn't find him. Could he have really run away?"
"If you ask me, he might have been taken away by his biological mother. Didn't someone say that on the day he disappeared, someone saw his biological mother coming back?"
"I also think that the fight between Lao Hu and his ex-wife was really disgraceful. His ex-wife lost the battle for custody with him, and she loves the child, so it's normal for her to want to take the child away."
"That's right. Tell me, what was Old Hu thinking? His ex-wife was not only virtuous and beautiful, but also educated. Why did he fall for that factory girl?"
"Hehe." A man laughed obscenely: "You don't understand this? His current wife is a factory girl during the day and sells alcohol at night."
In this day and age, in the eyes of some mentally ill men, bartenders are equated with prostitutes.
Just like the men behind her, Lin Shuyue could clearly hear the changes in their tone while drinking tea.
It was an indescribable subtlety: "Old Wang, how did you know?"
"I went to a bar with a client one time and happened to see her." As soon as Lao Wang said this, everyone became more ambiguous.
"No wonder, a wine-buying girl must have some special qualities." When she mentioned some special qualities, the men behind her couldn't help laughing.
Li Mingfang moved Lin Shuyue's arm, glanced back, and rolled her eyes.
The people behind them have started talking about other topics.
Li Weisheng's mother came back just as the food was served. After everyone finished their meal, Lin Shuyue took a taxi back at the door, and Li Weisheng's mother was responsible for sending Li Mingfang and Li Weisheng back.
When Lin Shuyue got home, no one was there. She went back to her room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Hang Jiabai called her in the middle of the night, and Lin Shuyue answered the call in a daze.
When Lin Shuyue woke up, it was already night. The room was dark and the sky outside the window was filled with fiery red morning glow.
The sound of Lou Fengqin and others talking came from outside the house, and Lin Shuyue opened the door and went out.
"I've been waiting for you. Come and have dinner. I've made pig's trotter soup today." Lou Fengqin greeted Lin Shuyue.
When Lin Shuyue heard the words "pig's trotter soup", she really wanted to run away. During the month before she was injured, she ate this soup almost every day.
There is everything good at home, except the soup her mother cooks.
After eating and being forced to drink two bowls of soup, Lin Shuyue received a call from Ye Xueyu.
"Ah Yue, to celebrate my promotion, I'm treating you to a meal. Would you like to come too? It's tonight. I just heard from Captain Hang that you're back, so I called you right away!"
She can tell that Ye Xueyu is very happy, and her tone of voice is uplifting.
Lin Shuyue had slept all day and wasn't sleepy yet. It was only eight o'clock, and Ye Xueyu still had to wait for her colleagues on duty, which still had about an hour to go, so she decisively agreed.
"Okay, then I'll go to your workplace to find you." Lin Shuyue took a shower, changed her clothes and went out.
Lou Fengqin just told Lin Shuyue not to drink, because her grandmother was not in good health and she wanted to go back to see her.
Lin Shuyue had originally planned to go tomorrow: "Got it, I can leave now."
Lin Shuyue drove away the car parked at the door.
When she arrived at the Public Security Bureau, it was just past eight forty, and there were still twenty minutes left. Ye Xueyu was waiting for her at the door.
As soon as she parked the car, Ye Xueyu came to greet her happily.
"Ah Yue, I heard you went to meet Captain Hang's parents? How was it? Did you get along well?"
"Very easy to get along with! Congratulations, Ah Yu! You've been promoted in just a few years! You have a bright future ahead of you!"
Ye Xueyu smiled so hard that her teeth were visible.
The two of them didn't go into the house, but just stood at the door.
Just at this moment, a woman in her thirties came staggering over.
"Police, I want to report a case. My son might have been sold by his father and stepmother!"
