"Nope."

"And how do you go to see her mother?"

"I have a way, Xu Xiaoqiao knows where He Yan's family is."

"No, you'll have to go to the door yourself. Other people's daughters have been handed over to you, and you are afraid to see your mother-in-law. ”

"The old lady has come to stay with me a few times, and every time she comes, the relationship between me and He Yan is very tense. I don't want to see her again. ”

"Why is that?"

"The old lady thinks I'm poor and sour, and marrying He Yan is for her family's money, saying that I'm a soft eater."

"Give half of the assets, and the old lady will have no opinion?"

"I think so."

"She kept saying that she raised her daughter, and she was not happy and unwilling."

"Well, it's really not easy for parents to work hard to raise their daughter, and it's understandable."

"Do you know how much He Yan's deposit is?"

"I don't know, I never ask. At least, there are millions. ”

"Where did she get all that money?"

"It's all in business, but she has to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to schools and charity federations every year, and it is estimated that there is not much left."

"Where there is loss, there must be gain."

"In order to thank He Yan, the municipal government has directly given her many livelihood projects to do, and I never interfere in business matters. For this reason, He Yan often said that I was a waste, useless scholar. ”

"That's why you rarely come home, don't you?"

"Hmm."

"Women work hard in the business arena and have to pay more than men. You resent He Yan, do you understand the helplessness and pain in her heart? ”

"I don't understand. It's the same roof, it shouldn't be. Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest—"

"When disaster comes, they fly separately."

"Where did you go, old-fashioned! Husband and wife are birds of the same fate, and they support each other when disaster comes. ”......

In the afternoon of the same day, Lina drove He Yan's car to the Charity Federation with Nishino, and the staff warmly received them, thanked them for the donation of hundreds of thousands, and sent Nishino a certificate of honor for the donation.

After coming out of the Charity Federation, without resting, the two drove to He Yan's hometown, a very remote mountain village.

There is a thousand-year-old cedar tree at the entrance of the village, with a diameter at breast height of nearly 30 meters, covering an area of hundreds of square meters, and it is said to be the famous "cedar king" in China. The village is beautifully landscaped, and a bluestone paved road passes through the village until the end of the village. The stream flows in the village, and the dwellings are bifurcated on both sides of the stream as the axis, which is simple and natural, and the structure of the building group has a typical Miao style.

The dwellings are mainly stilted buildings of the "dry column type", along the mountains and valleys according to local conditions, forming a unique "ridge type" and "valley type" layout mode, which is cleverly integrated with the natural environment.

Nishino stood at the entrance of the village for a long time, no matter what Lina said, he was reluctant 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, or you should go into the village alone."

A young man with a fish basket came out of the village, jumping and jumping, Lina stepped forward and asked, "Little friend, where is He Yan's home?" ”

"Lotus leaves? I don't know. Obviously, the boy didn't know He Yan's nickname.

"Spicy woman He Yan, the great good man in your village."

"She's my cousin, she's not at home, Auntie, are you looking for her?" The boy was as shy as a little girl.

"Can you take us to his house?" Lina gave the boy 50 yuan.

The boy didn't answer: "My aunt said that strangers' money can't be taken casually." ”

"Take it, we're good friends with your aunt." Lena smiled.

The young man timidly took the money, happily took Xiye and them into the village, walked along the stone road for half an hour, stopped in front of an ancient well, and pointed to a two-story stilted building next to it: "It's here, it's here." I caught a fish, Auntie. ”

"Thank you, little friend." Lina waved to the boy.

On the top of the stilted building, an old lady with gray hair leaned on the railing, and when she saw the guests, she hurriedly greeted her: "Girl, sit in the house." ”

When she saw clearly that the person behind Lina was Nishino, her face immediately sank: "What about my He Yan?" How she didn't come back. ”

"She's busy, ask me to bring you some tonic medicine and money, please accept it." Lina handed the medicine in her hand to He Yan's mother.

"Mom, this is the 300,000 yuan He Yan earned...... "Xiye respectfully handed the small box containing the money to the old lady.

"Nishino, tell me quickly, where did you hide He Yan?" The old lady left the box on the ground.

"Aunt, it's like this, He Yan went to Shenzhen for something, and he won't be able to come back for a while. I'm her classmate, and it's almost the New Year, and I was told to bring the money to your old man's house. Lina said that her face did not change and her heart did not beat.

"I don't see you as a bad person, I believe you. As for him—" The old lady glared at Nishino, "I can't believe him." ”

"He's your son-in-law, aunt."

"I don't have him as a son-in-law, if it weren't for the blindness of He Yan in my family, I wouldn't have married him. A big man, without any real skills, he relies on my family He Yan for everything. ”

Xiye's face was hot, very unpleasant, and he thought: "He Yan is dead, I will give you half of the money, which can be regarded as recognizing you as a mother-in-law." The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and what kind of cow ..... he returned" But he still endured it and did not reveal the slightest news of He Yan's death.

"Auntie, let's go—" Lina saw that the old lady's attitude towards Nishino was lukewarm, so in order not to embarrass Nishino too much, she got up and said goodbye.

"Rest at my house tonight, and leave tomorrow, girl." The old lady tried her best to keep Linna, "You wait, I'll go and prepare some local products for you." ”

"No, I still have urgent business to go to Guangzhou tomorrow." Lina said as she motioned for Nishino to hurry up.

Nishino turned around and came out, and the old lady shouted behind Lina; "Girl, come and sit often when you have time."

"Okay—" Lena readily agreed.

Nishino muttered in his heart: "What are you still doing, I came to the door for the first time with this attitude, and I won't come to kill me." ”

"Who is this to blame? You don't usually come and go, and you cultivate a relationship with the old lady. It's normal for the old lady to say a few words to you. ”

"Cultivating feelings? However, if you don't look at me, you can't look at it. ”

touched a nose of ash at his mother-in-law's place, and Xiye came out of the village in a huff: "Linna, you have seen it all, He Yan's mother has never regarded me as a son-in-law, and there is no next time." ”

Linna sat in the cab and brushed her hair: "Don't be serious, it's not easy for people to raise children and daughters, give her 300,000 pensions, it should be He Yan's return to her parents." Money is something outside the body, and the daughter is scattered and comes back. ”

"I am born to be useful, I don't believe it, without He Yan, I will live on the streets."

"There is backbone, this is what I like Nishino. What are you going to do with the house? ”

"It's not like that, just let Tulong take care of me."

"It's okay, at least when I want to come back in the future, I have a place to stay."

"Next Saturday is the day of the minor exam, and I'm struggling whether to go or not."

"What test? Civil servants are not so easy to be a human servant. ”

"Isn't all my efforts in vain? I am not reconciled, the Propaganda Department is much better than I teach. ”

"Your character is not suitable to be a civil servant, and the Propaganda Department is not as bright as you imagined."

"So, I don't have to take the test?"

"Don't go in the end, even if you are shortlisted in the written test, the guy will be bad behind the knife."

"If he knew that you were the one who accused him of illegally operating an underground bank and selling drugs, he would definitely bite back."

"Everything must be evidenced, and confessions are not enough."

"Have you forgotten what He Yan's illness depends on to relieve his pain?"

"Number 4*."

"There is also a knife that has a stake in He Yan's company, how do you explain it?"

"A month's money, the knife will be withdrawn, and it will not be implicated."

"The withdrawal does not mean that He Yan's company has nothing to do with drug trafficking organizations."

"Now the company is an empty shell, all the accounts have been destroyed in time, and it is useless to beat a rake if the knife is unified."

"I don't understand, how can He Yan and Dao have anything to do with it?"

"Tulong knows the unity of the knife. He guessed that there might be a more powerful backstage behind the unification of the knife, and I didn't want to delve into it. After all, He Yan is my relative, and I have to maintain her good image in the eyes of the public. ”

"We will go back and hand over the materials to Tulong as soon as possible, and send a copy of the report letter to the Commission for Discipline Inspection."

"Real-name reporting is not good, if the Commission for Discipline Inspection has someone who is unified by the knife, it will be very unfavorable to you."

"Then report anonymously and you can protect yourself."

"That's it." ......

The day after Lina and Nishino returned to S City, they went directly downstairs to the organization department, and it was inconvenient for Lina to go in.

Nishino went directly to the office to find Tulong, there was no one else in the office, Nishino sat down, filled with righteous indignation, and briefly recounted the facts of the crime of the knife.

Tulong was so surprised that his mouth became a "0" shape: "Director Dao is a candidate for deputy mayor next year, I'm afraid this is not easy?" ”

"Such a scum, if he becomes the deputy mayor, he will have more power in his hands, and the financial order of our S City must not be chaotic?" Seeing Tulong's hesitation, Nishino said, "Didn't you suspect the unification of the sword before?" ”

"The minister went to the provincial capital for training, and I don't have the power to make decisions. Moreover, once the director of the knife bureau is arrested, it will be very troublesome to confess that you will help him sell drugs and launder money, and it will not do you any harm to enter the Propaganda Department. ”

"So you can't use the knife to unify it now?"

"Not exactly, it's not too late to wait for your sub-scientific examination."

"I can skip the exam, and I have to pull down the knife."

"Brother, don't be reckless. When the results of the sub-subject exam come out, the knife will definitely jump out by itself. ”

"Are you using me as bait?"

"It's not bait, it's a long line to catch a big fish."

"If I don't take the exam, will the Organization Department and the Commission for Discipline Inspection have no choice?"
