Chapter 967: Chapter 968 He Appeared
He never imagined himself to be someone so moved by love for his children.
But when it came to Chiang Xiao, he didn’t feel there was anything wrong with that at all.
Meng Xinian returned to the military.
Chiang Xiao began her school days.
Still, what concerned her continuously was the news from Peace Town.
Three days later, Ji Chunlai called from Hu Xibing’s place, signifying some progress.
"The man in the portrait you gave me, I’ve met him, and I overheard some information. He first came alone, but then yesterday afternoon, four more people arrived to meet him." Ji Chunlai lowered his voice and said, "Everyone else calls that man Da Yuan."
Da Yuan?
Chiang Xiao went over it in her mind, certain she had never heard this name in her previous life.
"And then?"
"Wasn’t it raining the last couple of days? I heard them say they would go into the mountains as soon as the weather cleared."
The sky had begun to clear yesterday.
In G Province, after so many days of rain, everyone felt that even if there were no disasters, the dampness would cause everything to mold.
Fortunately, the weather finally cleared up, and today Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao had started tending to the few vegetable plots on the rooftop.
"Did they go into the mountains today?"
"No, that Da Yuan said they had to wait at least two days because the mountains, right after the heavy rain, are full of snakes and all kinds of insects," Ji Chunlai explained. "However, I heard them say they want to stay in Siyang Village."
Stay in Siyang Village?
Chiang Xiao paused for a moment, "Have you had contact with them?"
"Sister, here’s the thing, I think that if there’s money to be made, why not? So I went up to them, offered to drive them to Siyang Village for just twenty yuan. They agreed and we set to leave an hour later. I wanted to ask you, I heard from Brother Soldier that your family is from Siyang Village, right? If your family has a house to rent out, you could make some money from that..."
Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao’s expression darkened.
Ji Chunlai was clearly obsessed with making money, not only for himself but also looking to help her make a profit? She was originally keeping an eye on these people, suspecting they were up to no good, and here he was suggesting she rent out her own house to them?
"No need. We don’t have a house to rent. Ji Chunlai, if they’ve gone to Siyang Village, do you have a way to keep an eye on them?"
Chiang Xiao didn’t want to lose this lead.
"It will be a bit troublesome unless I move to Siyang Village as well. Let me think of a solution."
Just after Chiang Xiao finished the call with him, the phone rang again.
She thought Ji Chunlai had forgotten to tell her something, but it turned out to be a call from Secretary Yao.
Moreover, the content of his call nearly made her jump out of her seat.
"Chiang Xiao, are your grandparents home? If they are, get them to take a call, will you? Your uncle called, saying he wanted to speak with Uncle Songhai, but since you all moved to the county town, I haven’t conveyed it yet, I just asked him to call back later. Should I give him your family’s telephone number?"
Her uncle?
Deng Qingjiang!
"Secretary Uncle, please confirm, is it Deng Qingjiang?" Chiang Xiao glanced towards the rooftop where her grandparents fortunately hadn’t come inside.
She knew what her grandparents were thinking deep down.
