Qian Zhuzi still smiled while touching his head: "Director Zhu is a busy man, I dare not disturb him about my affairs."

Zhu Xiaomin looked at him and said with a smile: "If you want to get the certificate, there is no need to rush now. Let me talk to...Da Yingzi, right? Let me talk to her."

Qian Zhuzi was surprised: "Director Zhu knows Da Yingzi?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "We'll know each other after chatting." She ignored him and went straight to the girl and said, "Are you Da Yingzi? I'm Zhu Xiaomin, I want to talk to you alone."

Da Yingzi looked at her with a confused look on her face.

But in the past two years, everyone in the entire Cijiaokou Commune knew who Zhu Xiaomin was, so when they heard her speak, they nodded naturally.

An auntie next to him was anxious: "Director Zhu, if you want to talk, it's not too late to say it later. Let them do their job."

Zhu Xiaomin turned to look at her and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, who is this lady related to Da Yingzi?"

The aunt said awkwardly: "I am their matchmaker. Today I am here with the young couple to get their marriage certificate."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I'll just say a few words. It won't affect our work." He ignored her and took Da Yingzi's hand and walked towards the captain's office.

In the past two years, she has been responsible for the production of the entire commune and has had more contact with the production team leaders of each brigade.

Qian Zhuzi subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xie Chengzhi. He had to stop and asked anxiously: "Xie Zhiqing, what happened?"

Xie Chengzhi just said: "No hurry, wait a moment."

The matchmaker was a little nervous, and hurriedly called out to follow: "Hey, don't miss the event."

Huang Xiaojuan stepped forward and stopped her: "Aunt, Director Zhu said he wants to talk to her alone."

When the team cadres heard that Zhu Xiaomin was coming, they had already come out to greet her. When they saw that she wanted to use the office, the team leader hurried forward and opened the door first.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded at him, motioned for him to close the door, and asked Da Yingzi directly without being polite: "I heard that you had broken off the engagement with Qian Zhuzi before, why are you suddenly getting married again, and in such a hurry?"

Da Yingzi had her head down, but when she heard the question, she suddenly looked up at her. Meeting her penetrating eyes, she quickly lowered her head again, shook her head and said, "I... I thought about it. Qian Zhuzi... Qian Zhuzi was chosen from the first team to manage the base, so he must be... must be a good person..."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I don't deny this, otherwise I wouldn't agree to let him manage the base, but you knew about this situation before, and you still wanted to cancel the engagement a few days ago. Why?"

Da Yingzi bit her lip and shook her head, but said nothing.

Zhu Xiaomin sighed: "Director Huang from the First Brigade should tell you something. Do you really dare to enter a family like that?"

Da Yingzi's face turned pale all of a sudden. She opened her mouth and finally said with a struggle: "Qian... Qian Zhuzi is Qian Zhuzi, he... his family is his family, I... the one who lives with me is him, and... I am not his family..."

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "Aunt Qian had two sons. Qian Dashuan is dead, and only Qian Zhuzi is left. Do you think she can live apart from you?"

Da Yingzi stopped talking, lowered her head and fiddled with the patched corner of her clothes. After a while, she whispered, "What daughter-in-law doesn't get annoyed by her mother-in-law after she gets married?"

"Being frustrated by the mother-in-law? Not to mention that it is unreasonable in the first place, even if it is true, how many mothers-in-law have killed people for their own selfish desires?" Zhu Xiaomin said shockingly.

But Da Yingzi just tightened her hands and didn't show much fear. She just lowered her head even more and didn't say anything.

Zhu Xiaomin stared at her for a while and asked in a low voice: "Da Yingzi, do you have any difficulties? Tell me, or I can help you."

Da Yingzi just shook her head without raising her head or saying anything.

Zhu Xiaomin asked again: "Is it because of Director Huang's disappearance?"

Da Yingzi suddenly raised her head, looked at her in shock, and stammered, "Director Huang... Director Huang... Director Huang is missing?"

This reaction was far more intense than hearing that Second Aunt Qian had killed someone.

Zhu Xiaomin narrowed her eyes: "You don't know? Then is there another reason?"

Da Yingzi stopped talking again, her body began to tremble, her legs could no longer support her, she took a few steps back, and slowly sat down in a chair.

Zhu Xiaomin looked at her and continued, "You want to cancel the engagement because Director Huang told you those things, right? But now, we suspect that she was arrested or harmed because of what she told you. Do you still want to marry Qian Zhuzi? Aren't you afraid that if you don't live up to someone's expectations in the future, you will be harmed too?"

Da Yingzi's body was shaking violently. Suddenly, she covered her face with her hands and cried, sobbing softly: "But what can I do? If I don't get married, what will happen to my brother?"

"What, your brother?" Zhu Xiaomin frowned.

Could it be that this girl is trying to get the Qian family's betrothal gift for her brother?

Da Yingzi shook her head repeatedly for a long time before wiping away her tears and whispering, "Zhu... Director Zhu, thank you for saying these words. I know you are doing this for my own good, but... but I can't help it..."

Zhu Xiaomin frowned: "You know, now every brigade in our commune is working hard to develop side businesses. Although the Fifth Brigade is not as good as the First Brigade, life is getting better. You don't have to sacrifice your whole life for your brother."

Da Yingzi shook her head: "I'm not greedy for the good life of the first team, it's...if I don't marry him, my...my brother won't be able to come back..."

"What?" Zhu Xiaomin was shocked and grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to look up at him. "What did you say? What do you mean your brother won't come back?"

At the beginning, Da Yingzi couldn't hold back her tears any longer and said, "My brother has been missing for several days and we can't find him. Yesterday, the third wife... the matchmaker came and said... that as long as I marry Qian Zhuzi, my brother will definitely be found."

Zhu Xiaomin's face darkened instantly: "In other words, they kidnapped your brother?"

Unexpectedly, in addition to Huang Meihua, another person was missing.

Da Yingzi nodded: "We have three sisters, but only this one brother. If anything happens to him, my parents won't have to live."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "How old is your brother? How did he disappear? Did no one see him?"

Da Yingzi shook her head: "My brother is Xiaowei, he is only eight years old this year. He came to school the day before yesterday and never came back."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Have you asked the teacher?"

Da Yingzi nodded: "I asked, and Teacher Bai said that he walked with a few children from the village after school, and he didn't notice anything wrong."

"What about the other children?" Zhu Xiaomin asked, "You didn't ask?"

Da Yingzi said: "The other children said that they were walking home along the mountain path, collecting firewood as they walked, but as they walked, they lost sight of Xiaowei and thought he had run ahead. In the end, they didn't see him until they entered the village."

In other words, he got lost on the road.

Zhu Xiaomin pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and took something out of her pocket to show her: "Do you recognize this?"
