Chapter 169 This is really too much
Shen Nian had an inexplicable premonition in his heart, thinking that if he agreed to Xiao Ruzhang's request, his disguised identity would be exposed.
But she still asked calmly: "Uncle, just tell me what's the matter!"
Xiao Ruzhang sighed softly and spoke slowly, "Actually, it's about Nanqing's studies. This child is smart and studies hard. We old couple see it with our own eyes and are very happy. But as he grows older year by year, there is less and less I can teach him, and he can't go to school. His grandmother and I are very worried. We are worried that this will hinder his future."
At this point, Xiao Ruzhang looked at Shen Nian eagerly: "Xiao An, Uncle Xiao randomly guessed that you might be a member of the commune brigade under Nanshan Town. Uncle would like to ask you, could you please help me and Nan Qing so that he can have the opportunity to go to school?"
At this time, Sun Yue'e came over and took out something wrapped in cloth. She opened the cloth and found two glittering gold bars inside.
"Don't worry, Xiao An, the aunts will definitely not let you work in vain."
Sun Yue'e pushed the gold bars in front of Shen Nian and said, "Xiao An, I just took this out for you to take a look at first. Your uncle and I are sincere and we only want Nan Qing to have a bright future."
After Sun Yue'e finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Ruzhang with a worried look on her face. The old couple understood that their request was really embarrassing for Shen Nian.
They also understand that these material possessions may be of great use in the future, but they no longer care.
Now they only hope that Nan Qing can have a bright future, instead of being forced to live with them in this dilapidated courtyard, unable to raise her head and unable to face others.
The old couple had always encountered too much maliciousness, and finally met Xiao An, who was tough on the outside but kind on the inside. They were eager to seize this opportunity and fight for a chance for Xiao Nanqing.
The old couple discussed and observed each other and decided that Xiao An was a trustworthy young person. Most importantly, she liked jewelry. These things were not valuable now, but they might be in the future. She was also a forward-thinking person.
There is another more important point. They don’t have anything else, but they have plenty of jewelry and some gold bars. They are hiding them anyway, so why not take them out and give Nan Qing a normal life?
The old couple also discussed it with Xiao Nanqing, but Xiao Nanqing did not agree at first because he did not want to leave his grandparents to suffer here alone.
The old couple had no choice but to analyze the matter carefully with Xiao Nanqing, and finally came to the conclusion: if Xiao An agreed, then Xiao Nanqing would listen to them, otherwise the matter would not be mentioned again.
Shen Nian's silence was deafening, and the tension of Xiao Ruzhang, his grandfather, and his grandson was visible to the naked eye.
"Xiao...Xiao An, isn't that too little? How about adding another box of jewelry and gold bars? What do you think?"
Seeing that Shen Nian remained silent, Sun Yue'e could only ask again tentatively, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Shen Nian was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words. This wasn't too little, this was too much!
Considering the intensity of the temptation, let alone the fact that she only has one alias as an educated youth sent to the countryside, even if she had ten aliases, she would be able to shake them off completely!
She hadn't expected that Sun Yue'e and his wife would see through her love of money? They even knew to throw money at her?
Shen Nian took a deep breath and then spoke, "Auntie, do you remember when we first met? It was because you were short of food, and I happened to be interested in the jewelry in your hand."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yue'e nodded repeatedly. She remembered, she would always remember that day. She had just wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect to unexpectedly meet such a kind-hearted person.
Not only did they provide them with food, meat and vegetables, but last winter they also sent them firewood and coal, and even medicine and money, which helped them survive last winter and hunger.
Sun Yue'e turned her gaze to her husband who looked much more energetic, and Xiao Nanqing who had gained some weight. These were all thanks to Xiao An, and her family would always remember them.
Wiping the wet corners of her eyes, Sun Yue'e took Shen Nian's hand and patted it gently, saying with a choked voice:
"Xiao An, I know what you mean. At the beginning, we all had our own plans, and I know you have your own plans. But after spending so much time together, I know what kind of person you are. You are a child who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. If my request makes you feel embarrassed, then we can continue to get along as before. I don't ask for anything else, as long as you are willing to come and see us."
Xiao Nanqing, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, lowered his head in disappointment when he heard Sun Yue'e's words. Yes, being alive was good enough, how could he still dream of going to school?
Shen Nian felt the warmth in Sun Yue'e's palm and felt helpless. She hadn't said anything yet. Had Sun Yue'e thought of all the bad outcomes?
"Aunt, don't be anxious. You have to let me think about this for a few days, right? I will give you an answer in a few days." Shen Nian looked at Sun Yue'e gently, trying to calm her down.
Sun Yue'e's eyes were filled with tears, but a grateful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"Xiao An, your words have made me feel more at ease. We are not in a hurry, no matter what the result is, I am grateful to you. It is a blessing for our Nan Qing to meet you."
Xiao Nanqing also raised his head, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. Although he didn't dare to expect too much, Shen Nian's words gave him a glimmer of hope.
After having dinner at the Xiao family, Shen Nian went to the police station.
"Comrade Shen? You're here. Captain Li is in the office. Go find him directly."
The policeman on duty at the door was the same one from last time. When he saw Shen Nianlai, he enthusiastically told her to go directly to find Li Shunli.
After Shen Nian thanked him, he walked straight into the police station.
"Knock knock knock!" She knocked on Li Shunli's office door.
"Come in." Li Shunli's voice came from inside.
Shen Nian pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at Li Shunli, who was busy at the table, he said, "Captain Li, let me ask you about the results of the investigation of the group of people I sent here last time."
Li Shunli heard the voice and raised his head: "Comrade Shen? Please sit down first."
Li Shunli pointed to the chair next to him and motioned Shen Nian to sit down. Then he took out a document from the pile on the table, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he slowly spoke:
"Comrade Shen, I was planning to visit you at the brigade today. I'm sorry to tell you that the final results of the interrogation of those bandits are out."
Li Shunli paused and glanced at Shen Nian before continuing, "Unfortunately, the mastermind behind this incident has not yet been found. The group doesn't even know what he looks like, and there's still a fugitive who hasn't been caught."
