Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 187 Qi Hongsheng

After chatting with Hu Fangming, Feng Qingqing finally talked about the purpose of her trip to the countryside.

Last time in the county, since Li Wenjing and Fang Guangmei were both at her house that day, the two only exchanged a few words and didn't go into any deeper conversation.

"Has Qi Hongsheng been frequently visiting the commune these past few days?"

Speaking of this topic, Hu Fangming knew that Feng Qingqing seemed to be very concerned, so she had been paying close attention to Qi Hongsheng's every move recently.

She knew that Feng Qingqing had other motives, but she didn't ask. She simply told her in detail what she had observed.

He nodded, and said with a serious expression:

"Yes, I think they go to the commune almost every two days, and sometimes even two days in a row."

Moreover, he used to go to the commune with Zhuang Shan, but ever since he made contact with those two people at the commune, he's been going alone, even when Zhuang Shan asked him to.

Qi Hongsheng always went to the commune alone, and most of the time he didn't take the brigade's oxcart, but walked there instead.

Hu Fangming also felt that something was amiss.

Even so, such frequent contact is unnecessary and inevitably makes people feel as if they are plotting something.

As Feng Qingqing listened to Hu Fangming's explanation, she pondered the ins and outs of the matter.

Then, from Hu Fangming's words, I learned that Qi Hongsheng had been living a very comfortable life recently.

Packages are being delivered every now and then, but much more frequently than in the previous two years.

Qi Hongsheng, whom the two mentioned, slept in late at the educated youth compound. When he got up, he found it was already late, but he remembered that he hadn't gone to the commune yesterday, so he had to go check on it today.

I quickly dressed and washed up, ate a few pieces of chicken cake, and walked towards the commune guesthouse.

As I walked, I thought about what had happened over the past few days. I felt like I had been incredibly lucky. I never expected such a good thing to happen to me.

When the two men first came to the Lanshan Brigade to gather information, he didn't pay much attention at first.

The next day, when they went to the commune's state-run restaurant for a meal, by sheer coincidence, the three of them ended up sitting at opposite tables.

Qi Hongsheng overheard their conversation and learned that they had visited the Lanshan Brigade the day before. So he struck up a conversation, and the two began chatting casually.

The more they talked, the more alarmed Qi Hongsheng became.

He never expected that these two people were actually sent by his uncle to find a young man.

The two people on the other end of the line never expected that, while they were thousands of miles away, they would end up talking about acquaintances while having a casual meal and chat at a restaurant.

Qi Hongsheng, however, had ulterior motives and treated the two men with extreme politeness.

But in his heart, he was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

After they parted ways, he quickly went to the post office, intending to call his aunt.

He knew that his uncle was remarried and had a newborn baby.

Although his uncle was only a minor clerk in the education department at the time, it was said that his uncle's ex-wife was extremely wealthy.

His ex-wife died of illness after giving birth, leaving behind a newborn baby.

There's no other way but to prepare to find another one.

At that time, his aunt volunteered and asked a matchmaker to come and inquire.

My uncle had heard that he had already met the blind date, but they were all divorced with children, which made him somewhat dissatisfied. But then a young, unmarried woman came to his door, and the two hit it off immediately.

They got married very soon.

His aunt also gave birth to two sons and two daughters for her husband after their marriage, and they lived a very wealthy life. Even his family benefited from his aunt's success.

Later I heard that, for some reason, my aunt's husband's eldest son went missing.

After that, whenever relatives gathered during holidays, they never saw the boy again.

He was young at the time and didn't understand the specifics.

I only heard bits and pieces of it from my elders.

But during my meal and conversation with those two, I learned that they seemed to be looking for the eldest son of my aunt's husband, who had been missing for many years.

But Qi Hongsheng vaguely felt that his uncle-in-law didn't seem to care much about his son.

I just don't know why I found this place this time.

Moreover, when the two men inquired about the situation at the Lanshan Brigade, they specifically mentioned a distinctive feature: the man had a mole on the side of his right hand.

The mole wasn't very big; you might not even notice it if you weren't paying attention.

When Qi Hongsheng heard Ma Mingchuan mention it, he didn't pay much attention.

But for some reason, after dinner that day, when the two men mentioned it again, I suddenly remembered someone.

My heart skipped a beat.

That person was He Yong'an.

He once noticed a mole on the same spot on He Yong'an's hand when he had dinner with him by chance.

Moreover, he had been in Lanshan Brigade for a long time and knew very well about He Yong'an's previous situation at Lao He's house.

The villagers felt indignant about He Yong'an's life in the He family since childhood, and even had a lot of opinions about the He family.

But then Qi Hongsheng realized that if He Yong'an wasn't the biological son of the He family, then everything would make sense.

Logically speaking, no matter how biased parents are, they would not treat their own children so harshly.

This is really unusual.

The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, so he called his aunt's factory.

His aunt was an accountant at a steel factory, so answering the phone wasn't difficult for her.

Half an hour later, I got through to my aunt on the phone.

Because the call was transferred multiple times, he couldn't speak frankly.

After rambling on for a while, he finally told his aunt in a joking tone and in a vague phone call that he had run into two people in the countryside, and those two people seemed to be looking for someone.

Upon hearing this, Chu Baiying, though her nephew had spoken cryptically, still grasped the gist of the matter.

She wasn't surprised.

After all, she was his wife, and she had always known that the man was looking for his eldest son who had gone missing.

It wasn't that she was particularly reluctant to part with it, but rather there were other reasons, so she didn't try to stop her.

Now, the person her husband entrusted has actually found the place where her nephew went to work in the countryside.

This made her heart tighten.

It seems there are some things that need to be prepared in advance, even if we don't need them right away, it's not a big deal.

Although she had always tacitly accepted the man's search for his eldest son, she was not truly prepared to let him bring the son back and seize the family business from her children.

Then Chu Baiying hinted to her nephew that she would send a registered letter and a package over in the next two days. Qi Hongsheng was also a smart man and knew that some things were inconvenient to say over the phone, but could be explained in detail in a letter.

The two finished their conversation quickly before ending the call.

A few days later, Qi Hongsheng received a registered letter from his aunt in Beijing.

In the letter, the aunt inquired in detail about the whole story and made arrangements for her plans one by one. Of course, the person in charge of implementing these plans was Qi Hongsheng.

Along with the registered letter came a large package containing malted milk powder, candy, chocolate, and other snacks, as well as various receipts and a remittance note for 100 yuan.
