Chapter 48 White Lies
"No."
"Then why did you go to see her mother?"
"I have a solution, Xu Xiaoqiao knows where He Yan's family is."
"No, you have to come to the door in person. I have given all my daughters to you, and you are afraid of seeing your mother-in-law."
"The old lady has been to me for a few times. Every time she comes, my relationship with He Yan is very tense. I don't want to see her again."
"Why is this?"
"The old lady thought I was poor and married to He Yan was for her family's money, saying that I was a slutty person."
"Will the old lady have no objection to give half of the assets?"
"I think so."
"She kept saying that she had raised her daughter and she had not enjoyed her happiness and was unwilling to give up."
"Well, it's really not easy for parents to raise their daughter with great difficulty, and it's understandable."
"Do you know how much He Yan has deposits?"
"I don't know, I never ask. There are at least a few million."
"Where did she get the money?"
"It's all profitable in business, but she has to donate hundreds of thousands to schools and charity associations every year, and there's probably not much left."
"There are losses and gains."
"In order to thank He Yan, the municipal government directly gave her many livelihood projects, and I never interfere in business matters. For this reason, He Yan often says that I am a useless scholar."
"So you rarely go home, right?"
"Um."
"Women work hard in the business world and pay more than men. You resent He Yan, do you understand her inner helplessness and pain?"
"I don't understand. It shouldn't be with the same roof. The couple is a bird in the same forest-"
"Everyone flew away when the disaster came."
"Where did you say you're going? Old-fashioned! Husband and wife are the same life, and they support each other when the disaster comes."...
On the afternoon of that day, Lina drove He Yan's car and Nishino to the Charity Federation. The staff warmly received them, grateful for the donation of hundreds of thousands, and issued a donation certificate of honor to Nishino.
After leaving the Charity Association, there was no rest. The two drove to He Yan's hometown, a very remote mountain village.
There is a thousand-year-old fir tree at the entrance of the village, with a breast diameter of nearly 30 meters and an area of hundreds of square meters. It is said to be the famous "Fir Tree King" in China. The village has beautiful scenery, and a bluestone road passes through the village and reaches the end of the village. The stream flows gurgling in the village, and the houses are divided into several settlement groups with the stream as the axis to the two sides. It is simple and natural, and the building structure has a typical Miao style.
The houses are mainly "dry railing-style" stilt houses, along the mountains and valleys, adapting to local conditions, forming a unique "ridge-shaped" and "valley-shaped" layout model, which is cleverly integrated with the natural environment.
Nishino stood at the entrance of the village for a long time, and no matter what Lina said, he was unwilling to enter the Miao village.
"I've come here, I have to visit the old lady?"
"I don't know how to explain to the old lady, why don't you go into the village alone."
A young man carrying a fish basket came out of the entrance of the village, jumping around. Lina stepped forward and asked, "Children, where is He Yan's home?"
"Lotus? I don't know." Obviously, the boy didn't know He Yan's nickname.
"Lazipo He Yan, the great charity in your village."
"She is my cousin, not at home, aunt, are you okay with her?" The boy was as shy as a little girl.
"Can you take us to his house?" Linna gave the boy 50 yuan.
The boy did not answer: "My aunt said, you can't take the money from strangers at will."
"Hold it, we are your aunt's good friends." Linna smiled.
The boy took the money timidly, and happily took Xiye and the others into the village. After walking along the stone road for half an hour, the boy stopped in front of an ancient well and pointed to a two-story stilt house next to him: "It's here. I'm going to catch fish, aunt."
"Thank you, kid." Lina waved to the teenager.
On the top of the stilt house, an old lady with gray hair leaned on the railing. When she saw the guests coming, she hurriedly greeted her: "Girl, sit in the room."
When she saw clearly that the person behind Lina was Nishino, her face immediately became dark: "Where is my He Yan? Why didn't she come back?"
"She is busy, please ask me to bring you some tonics and money, please accept it." Linna handed the medicine in her hand to He Yan's mother.
"Mom, this is the 300,000 He Yan earned..." Nishino respectfully handed the small box containing the money to the old lady.
"Xiye, tell me quickly, where did you hide He Yan?" The old lady put the box on the ground.
"Auntie, that's right. He Yan went to Shenzhen for something and wouldn't come back for a while. I am her classmate. It's almost the Chinese New Year. I told me to bring the money to you." Linna said in a panic and her face was not changing.
"I don't think you look like a bad guy, I believe you. As for him-" the old lady glared at Nishino, "I can't believe it."
"He is your son-in-law, aunt."
"I don't have a son-in-law as him. If my He Yan hadn't been blind, I wouldn't have married him. A big man, without any real ability, relies on my He Yan for everything."
Xiye's face was so hot that it felt very uncomfortable. He thought: "He Yan is dead, I will give you half of the money, so I recognize you as your mother-in-law. A white-haired man gives away a black-haired man, so why are you so awesome..." But he still held back and did not reveal any news about He Yan's death.
"Auntie, we're leaving-" Linna saw that the old lady was lukewarm to Nishino, so in order not to embarrass Nishino, she stood up and said goodbye.
"Let's rest at my house tonight, and leave tomorrow, girl." The old lady tried her best to keep Lina, "Wait, I'll prepare some local products for you."
"No, I have something urgent to go to Guangzhou tomorrow." Linna said, signaling Nishino to leave quickly.
Nishino turned around and came out, and the old lady shouted behind Lina, "Girl, come and sit when you have time."
"Okay--" Linna agreed readily.
Nishino wondered in his heart: "What else are you doing? I have the attitude of this for the first time I came to my house. I won't come even if I beat you to death."
"Who are you blamed? You don't come and go around, and cultivate feelings with the old lady. It's normal for the old lady to say a few words to you."
"Cultivate feelings? But if you don't like me, you won't like me."
When my mother-in-law was disgusted, Xiye left the village angrily: "Linna, you have seen it. He Yan's mother never treats me as her son-in-law, and there will be no next time."
Lina sat in the cab and stroked her hair: "Don't be serious. It's not easy for her to raise a child. Give her 300,000 yuan in pension. Just treat it as He Yan's reward for her parents. The money is something outside of her body, and she will come back after she has lost all her money."
"I was born to be useful, so I don't believe it. Without He Yan, I will be wandering on the streets."
"I have backbone, this is Nishino I like. What do you plan to deal with that house?"
"I didn't say that, just let Tulong take care of me."
"Okay, at least when you want to come back in the future, there will be a place to stay."
"Next Saturday is the day for the deputy subject exam, and I'm very confused about whether to go or not."
"What are you taking? Civil servants are not that easy to be a civil servant."
"Then all my efforts have been wasted? I am unwilling to give up. The publicity department is much better than teaching me."
"Your personality is not suitable for being a civil servant, and the Propaganda Department is not as bright as you think."
"So, I don't have to take the exam?"
"Don't go in the end. Even if you are shortlisted for the written test, the guy who will do something bad behind his back."
"If he knew that you were reporting that he illegally operated an underground bank and sold drugs, he would definitely bite him back."
"Everything needs to be proven, and the confession is insufficient."
"Have you forgotten that He Yan's illness relies on to relieve pain?"
“No. 4*.”
"And Dao Yitong also owns shares in He Yan's company, how do you explain?"
"A month of money, Daoyitong will withdraw the stock, and will not be implicated."
"Retreat does not mean that He Yan's company has nothing to do with drug trafficking organizations."
"Now the company is just an empty shell, and all accounts He Yan has been destroyed in time. It would be useless to make a comeback."
"I don't understand, how could He Yan and Dao Tong have something to do?"
"Tulong knows Dao Yitong. He guessed that there might be a more powerful backstage behind Dao Yitong, and I don't want to go into it. After all, He Yan is my relative, and I have to maintain her good image in the public's mind."
"We will hand over the materials to Tulong as soon as possible when we go back, and copy a copy of the report letter to the Discipline Inspection Commission."
"Real-name reporting is not possible. If the Discipline Inspection Commission has a person who unified the sword, it will be very unfavorable to you."
"Then report anonymously and you can protect yourself."
"Just do it."...
Lina, the day after Nishino returned to S City, went directly downstairs of the Organization Department, and Lina was inconvenient to go in.
Nishino went directly to the office and found Tulong. There was no one else in the office. Nishino sat down, was filled with righteous indignation, and briefly described the fact that the sword was unified and the crime was committed.
Tulong was so surprised that his mouth became a "0" type: "Director Dao is a candidate for the deputy mayor next year, so this may not be easy to deal with?"
"If such a scum is the deputy mayor, he will have greater power. The financial order in our city of S will not be messed up?" Nishino saw Tulong hesitating, "Didn't you doubt the unification of the sword before?"
"The minister went to the provincial capital for training, and I had no right to make a decision. Besides, once Director Dao is arrested, it is very troublesome to provide you with helping him sell drugs and launder money. It is harmful to you in the Propaganda Department."
"So, can't we use swords to unify it now?"
"It's not entirely true. It's not too late to talk about it after you take the secondary examination."
"I can't take the exam without taking the exam at the deputy subject, but I have to pull the knife off the horse."
"Brother, don't be reckless. When the results of the secondary examination come out, Dao Yitong will definitely jump out by himself."
"Did you use me as bait?"
"It's not bait, it's a long line to catch big fish."
