Chapter 112 Family Background
The mule cart rushed wildly and arrived in about half an hour.
It was noon when they arrived, and there were many old men and women who had had lunch leaning against the wall to bask in the sun and gossip.
Zhou Qing had been here before selling Fengzi and Spring Festival couplets, and he was familiar with these uncles and aunties.
As soon as she came, a young daughter-in-law greeted her with a smile: "It's over, as soon as this little brother comes, the coins in my pocket can't help but jump into his pocket again."
Several people next to her started laughing.
Zhou Qing looked at everyone's attitude and speculated that maybe no one in the village knew about Wang Le.
Li Er was left to look at the car, and Zhou Qing, dressed in men's clothing, stepped forward with a smile, "Sister, take care of your copper plate. I'll take a look at it in the spring after the new year."
The young wife looked over Zhou Qing's shoulder and looked at the mule cart.
"Aren't you here to sell something?"
Somewhat disappointed.
"Well, I'm here to see Wang Le. It's my first time here and I don't even know how to get to his house."
When Zhou Qing mentioned Wang Le, an aunt next to him snorted angrily.
"His house moved out a few days ago! He moved away secretly without saying a word, and he still owes me twelve copper coins. I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes."
As she said that, the aunt rolled her eyes and looked at Zhou Qing.
"Young man, are you and Wang Le friends? How about you return his family to me, and then you can ask for it from him when you see him?"
Zhou Qing
Madam, do you think I have a big head?
With a smile, Zhou Qing said: "I am also here to collect debts near the end of the year. Has his family moved away?"
Several people around nodded.
"I've moved out. It's been three or four days since I moved out."
"Do you know where you moved to?"
The lady shook her head, "If I knew, I wouldn't be able to get my money back!"
"Could he be going to a relative's house?"
While talking, Zhou Qing scattered a few pieces of candy he bought on the road.
After taking the candy, everyone's attitude towards Zhou Qing became more and more affectionate.
"Relatives? It's just his family. Where are the relatives from? His family has been in the village for so many years and I have never heard of any relatives." An aunt said as she carefully put the candy into her pocket.
An aunt next to her said: "Yes, Wang Le's family has no relatives, his father has no brothers and sisters, and his mother is a refugee who came here begging."
Zhou Qing touched the back of his head, looking confused.
"Since they have no relatives, why did they move away during the Chinese New Year? Where will they live? Are they getting rich? Why don't they pay me back if they get rich!"
The young wife sighed.
"Get rich? Just his family? Unless Wang Le goes to high school and becomes an official, otherwise, he will get rich!"
"Yes, Wang Le's father is a cripple, honest and timid, and his mother has always been in poor health, how can he make a fortune! In these years, Wang Le's education has been supported, and the poor in the family have been left to eat chaffy vegetables. "
"Fortunately, Huaishan Academy in Qingyang Village accepts students and does not restrict them to cultivation. Otherwise, how could Wang Le's book be read."
While talking, everyone's topic shifted to praising Huaishan Academy.
Hearing that his academy was being praised, Zhou Qing was not happy at all.
"Before Wang Le's family moved away, there was nothing strange about it?"
Suddenly, Zhou Qing interrupted everyone's discussion.
An old man suddenly thought of something and said to Zhou Qing: "You said that, I just remembered it. Do you remember that a few days ago, the girl from Wang Le's family fell into the ice cave with someone fishing for fish. She was burned to death after she was rescued. ”
As soon as the uncle mentioned it, an aunt slapped her leg and said, "Yes, that's right. Wang Le's mother came to my house to borrow money at that time."
"Did you borrow her?"
"No way, his family is like that. It's not that I'm so cruel that I won't save him, but he won't even come back even if I borrow it. My family also has a few copper coins that can be counted."
"Then what happened to his sister?" Zhou Qing asked.
The young daughter-in-law said: "I haven't seen a doctor yet."
The aunt next to him followed: "Yes, he didn't ask for a doctor, and then his family suddenly moved away."
"No one has been to Wang Le's house during this period?"
Several people around shook their heads and said they hadn't seen him.
The young daughter-in-law smiled and punched Zhou Qing on the shoulder, "Brother, why are you asking so carefully? You must have fallen in love with Wang Le's sister!"
The people next to him burst into laughter.
Zhou Qing said hey, "I'm worried about my money, and I want to find some clues to see if I can find Wang Le. By the way, if his family moved away, then his house was sold?"
"I haven't heard of anyone buying it! Who wants his shabby house?"
"This is wrong. His family has no money, no relatives, and they haven't sold their house. Where can they live? Could it be that they went to the city to treat Wang Le's sister?" Zhou Qing rubbed his hands and turned red from the cold. asked the hand.
The aunt who was the first to say that Wang Le's family had moved out immediately said: "No way! They just moved away!
No one from his family showed up for several days. I was worried about my few coins and went to see the clan leader.
The patriarch sent a nimble young man from the village to jump into his yard and take a look. Everything in his house was gone. It was because he had moved out! "
Several people around him nodded and agreed.
Seeing that he couldn't find any more clues, Zhou Qing asked Wang Le's home address and left.
There is a courtyard with low mud walls and broken walls at the east end of the village. The wooden gate is mottled with the New Year pictures posted last year, and a large rusty lock hangs on the door.
He lay on the low wall and looked into the courtyard.
The doors and windows were closed, and there was a dry jujube tree in the yard.
"Want to go in and take a look?" Li Er stood on Zhou Qing's side and asked in a low voice.
Zhou Qing lay on the wall, staring at the empty yard.
"Tell me, where can Wang Le's family move?"
Li Er was stunned, and then said: "It should be the people who bribed him who took them in."
"If they took them in, they must have taken in Chen Guang from Chenbei Village and Gao He from Gaojia Village."
This is not taking in one or two people, but taking in three families.
That's more than a dozen people.
Are these people going to be arranged to live together?
Or did that person arrange three houses.
If it's three houses, this person is rich.
But.
What is he looking for?
Is he rich?
Is it really Zhou Huaihai who made such a big move to frame her father?
It doesn't seem like it!
Or is it as her father said, the academician is involved, and the target is Hu Weiyue.
After thinking for a while at the door of Wang Le's house, the two went straight to the next stop, Chenbei Village.
When they arrived at Chenbei Village, it was already dark.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing had come here to sell calligraphy before, and he was not too unfamiliar with the people here.
After a little inquiry, I found out that Chen Guang's family had also moved away.
The time was also three or four days ago.
What was even more unexpected was that Chen Guang had a younger brother who suddenly fell from a tree and broke his leg while playing outside.
Chen Guang's family was poor, and he could not bear to watch his younger brother break his leg, but he could not spare money to hire a doctor.
It was almost the same as Wang Le's family.
And Chen Guang's parents were also honest people.
How could there be such a coincidence!
Next stop, Gao He's family.
As Zhou Qing expected, Gao He's family was exactly the same as Wang Le and Chen Guang's.
They were all from poor families with honest parents, and something happened in their family that urgently needed money to save their lives.
Then the breakthrough point of this case was still these three students.
