Chapter 954 Investigation (5)

Cheng Mingxu felt happy when he heard this. He was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to start the topic, but he didn't expect that his sister-in-law would help him find an excuse.

Immediately, he followed my sister-in-law's words and asked: "Then it seems that the people in your village are quite good. The girls are so promising. They must have been well trained by their parents. You have outstanding people in this village."

The eldest sister-in-law said with a smile: "Our village is indeed full of outstanding people. There is a boss official. This is all thanks to other people's blessings."

Cheng Mingxu nodded in approval: "It's not all the official's fault, it's also your parents' open-mindedness that doesn't favor boys over girls and allows girls to study. This is rare in rural areas across the country."

The elder sister-in-law felt embarrassed and said, "...Yes, that's the truth."

"How many college students have come out of your village?" Cheng Mingxu asked again.

The elder sister-in-law said: "There must be a dozen or twenty of them."

"That's a lot. In ancient times, you would have had to erect several archways at the entrance of every village."

The elder sister-in-law nodded happily when she heard this, and her favorable impression of Cheng Mingxu skyrocketed. This man really knew how to talk.

Cheng Mingxu didn't dare to get into the topic directly, so he could only test it a little bit.

"Sister-in-law, I see that you look blessed. You must have a daughter at home."

The eldest sister-in-law immediately smiled and said: "You are really good at judging people. I have three daughters at home. Two of them graduated from college and are now working in the city." The eldest sister-in-law made a three sign with a very proud look on her face.

Family planning is not very restrictive in such places, so in remote areas, families usually start with two or three children.

"Sister-in-law is really lucky." Cheng Mingxu continued, "Then your family must have three college students."

The elder sister-in-law looked embarrassed again, and then she started to say: "There are only two."

"What's going on?" Cheng Mingxu pretended to be puzzled.

The woman explained: "The eldest son was having difficulties at home at that time, and he couldn't study well."

Cheng Mingxu nodded: "Two college students are also very good, so your family will have to build two archways."

The woman nodded happily.

Cheng Mingxu didn't ask the woman any more questions, fearing that he would cause displeasure if he asked again.

After all, it was already too much to ask so many questions during the first meeting.

During this period, Zhang Erdan's parents seemed to have lost their souls. One kept sitting there staring into the distance in a daze, while the other cried silently.

Cheng Mingxu felt a little uncomfortable. He shouldn't use his son's matter as a breakthrough. Sun Li probably saw Cheng Mingxu's heart. After the woman who had been chattering before left, Sun Li whispered: "Brother, don't be like this. After we leave, I will find a way to find this Zhang Erdan for them. No matter whether he is alive or dead, we will find him and give him an explanation, and we will feel at ease."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Mingxu felt that this method was good, and Sun Li's identity was really suitable for this matter.

At this time, the child who had taken the money before came to Zhang's house with his mother. The woman was carrying an old hen with its feet tied in one hand, and a basket with radishes and cabbage in the other hand. , and a few eggs.

When the woman saw Cheng Mingxu, she immediately said, "Brother, come and buy the chicken. I'll sell it to you at the market price. How can I give the child money? I won't be able to feed his appetite."

As he spoke, he took out twelve yuan and handed it to Cheng Mingxu.

"In our town, local chickens sell for ten yuan a pound. This old hen is a little over three pounds. You get three pounds. A bottle of wine costs six and a half dollars. These dishes and eggs cost you one and eight dollars. It's just right. Take a look. "

When Cheng Mingxu took the twelve dollars, the boy before was holding his mouth and almost crying.

Cheng Mingxu chuckled and handed the two-dollar bill to the child again.

The kid wanted to pick it up, but didn't dare.

The woman glared at her son, "Brother, you can't do this."

Cheng Mingxu also said: "Sister-in-law, I promised him before, so I must keep my word. Don't you think I am here to collect debts, but we debt collectors must also be faithful?"

When the little boy heard this, he immediately took the money, fearing that his mother would not agree, so he took the money and ran away.

When the woman heard what he said, her feelings towards them immediately changed.

When the son went back and told the old couple that two people were here to collect debts, the woman felt a little conflicted. In their eyes, few of these people who came to collect debts were good people.

Without waiting for the woman to speak, Cheng Mingxu handed her the ten dollars again: "Sister-in-law, you look at the old couple and you are not in the mood to cook, and neither do our two elders. We are not leaving tonight. Just stay overnight at their house, can you please cook us a meal? This money will be given to you as your labor fee."

After hearing what he said, the woman agreed after thinking about it, and then asked, "Do you want this chicken to be stewed in soup or braised in braise?"

"Broil it."

The woman was a little reluctant when she heard this, "My old hen is two or three years old. It is nutritious to stew in soup. In this way, if you want to braise it, I still have a rooster..."

"In that case, let's make soup."

The woman nodded and walked up to the old lady: "Aunt Zhang... Erdan's incident has been happening for so long. Don't be like this. You have to eat what you have to eat. I'm going to cook."

With that said, he went to the Zhang family's kitchen.

At this time, Cheng Mingxu walked up to the old man and squatted down side by side with him: "Uncle, we are here to find your son. Since your son is not here, we will stay one night and leave tomorrow."

The old man looked at him.

"When we came here, we also thought about repaying our debts to our fathers, but seeing as you are like this, you still won't pay, so forget the money you owe." She took out the forged IOU and handed it to him.

The old man looked at him in disbelief, "You...are you serious?"

"Really." Cheng Mingxu put the IOU into the old man's hand: "Tear it up yourself and forget the money."

The old man looked at the IOU and had already stopped crying, but now he started crying again.

"Do you know that my Erdan is no longer here?" The debt can only be wiped out after death, otherwise there would be no such good thing.

Cheng Mingxu: "If I knew he was gone, I could still come find him. Uncle, Erdan may have gone to work somewhere and didn't contact you. I will definitely come back later."

Cheng Mingxu comforted the uncle for a few words and then went to the kitchen. He also wanted to get some news from this woman.

The woman who was cleaning up in the kitchen heard the conversation between Cheng Mingxu and the uncle, and felt that these two people were loyal.

Cheng Mingxu came over to help, but the woman refused: "Since you gave me the money, I have to do all the work. It's just this meal, can I prepare a share for them both?"

The two families haven't had any blessings yet, so they can be considered half relatives.

"Of course, this is their home."

The woman smiled and said, "My Shanwazi said you were here to collect debts. I thought you were the kind of vicious bad guys, but I didn't expect you guys to be quite nice."

Cheng Mingxu: "We are the good guys among the bad guys."

The woman was amused: "You are so funny."

Cheng Mingxu: "I heard you speak and have read a book. What degree do you have?"

"Junior high school." The woman said, "To live here, a junior high school degree is enough."
