Chapter 144 Three more tests
Then he sat in the lobby of the inn, drinking tea and waiting for the arrival of Manager Wei.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, seeing the sun setting, Jiang Chuyue suspected that Shopkeeper Wei might not come. When she stood up and prepared to leave, Shopkeeper Wei arrived.
"Miss Jiang, are you waiting for me?"
When he turned his head, he saw the smiling face of Shopkeeper Wei.
Jiang Chuyue also smiled, "Whoever Manager Wei thinks I'm waiting for, then that's who I'm waiting for."
He invited Manager Wei to sit down. Manager Wei looked out the window at the chaotic street outside and said, "I heard something happened again. The world is really not peaceful now."
"I wonder what happened?" Jiang Chuyue asked knowingly in order to test Manager Wei.
"Miss Jiang, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer?" Shopkeeper Wei glanced at Jiang Chuyue. He naturally knew that Jiang Chuyue was testing him, so he admitted it frankly.
"It seems that it is just as I thought. Shopkeeper Wei deliberately let me know." Jiang Chuyue raised her eyes and looked over. "I just don't know why Shopkeeper Wei chose me?"
"It's not me who chose you, but someone else who chose you." Shopkeeper Wei played a riddle, leaving Jiang Chuyue a little confused.
"There are some things I don't want to get involved in too much. This time I just want to repay a favor. I won't get involved again in the future. Miss Jiang doesn't have to focus on me. You can't find any valuable information from me, and I can't tell you."
Shopkeeper Wei was so frank that it was scary. His open and frank attitude made Jiang Chuyue wonder how credible his words were.
"Manager Wei, do you really not want to get involved?" Because of Manager Wei's frankness, Jiang Chuyue also spoke frankly.
"Of course it's true." Shopkeeper Wei turned his head and met Jiang Chuyue's eyes full of suspicion. He was not timid at all and just allowed Jiang Chuyue to doubt and scrutinize him so frankly.
"If you still have doubts about me, you can come and check. I'm just kindly reminding you that you can't find anything useful from me."
Jiang Chuyue pondered for a moment and finally decided to believe Manager Wei a little. "Since Manager Wei said so, let's just pretend that this incident never happened. From now on, we will just do business as before." Manager Wei was not surprised that Jiang Chuyue gave in so quickly.
"Dealing with Miss Jiang is indeed straightforward and honest."
"But..." He changed the subject, "I'd like to trouble Shopkeeper Wei to help with my uncle's matter. He has been missing for so long, and I don't know whether he is dead or alive now."
Manager Wei's eyelids twitched. "Is it true that your uncle is missing?"
"Of course it's true." Jiang Chuyue smiled bitterly, "But the one who is missing is not my eldest uncle, but my second uncle. His name is indeed Xiao Li, and he disappeared in the cold winter. We still haven't found him. Although we know that he may be in danger, we still want to see the body. If we don't find it, the family still has some thoughts."
After listening to this, Shopkeeper Wei nodded and said, "If it is true, I will help people keep an eye out for it, and I will send a letter to Miss Jiang if I find anything."
"Thank you, Manager Wei."
After Jiang Chuyue stood up and saw Manager Wei off, she did not continue to stay in the Tong'an Inn. She paid for her tea and went to the Nanbei shop to buy some cakes and snacks. Then she slowly walked towards Wanshan Village with the snacks.
Jiang Chuyue knew that someone was following her in secret, but she treated everything as normal. After returning home, she went to the fields to check on the planting of medicinal herbs and crops. Because the crops were growing well this year, the villagers who had experienced poor harvests for years wished they could watch over the fields every day.
The medicinal herbs and crops planted in the fields are the family's food for survival for the year, so they naturally care about them very much.
After Jiang Chuyue answered some questions for several villagers, she turned around and went back home. After having dinner with Aunt Zhang, she personally tested the homework of several children.
As it was getting dark, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang quietly entered Jiang Chuyue's room.
"Sister Jiang, you're right. Someone really came to ask about Xiao Li today. But don't worry, your Aunt Li and I didn't reveal anything about the burial." Aunt Wang had already been informed by Aunt Zhang, so she naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
Especially since although Xiao Li was buried, what was buried was a corpse and nothing could be seen, so naturally there was no way to tell whether it was really Xiao Li.
So no matter how that person inquired, the final result would only be that something had indeed happened to Xiao Li, and that the corpse should be Xiao Li.
The uncertain speculations and judgments are hard to convince Xiao Li's family, so it is normal for Jiang Chuyue to still want to find Xiao Li.
It's just, "But sister Jiang, why do you still want to find Xiao Li?"
Xiao Li is a rotten man. He doesn't care about Xiao Yihao, Jiang Chuyue, or even He Hua. When He Hua risked her life to go up the mountain alone to dig herbs for her family's food, he slept with the widow He. This alone was enough to make Aunt Wang and the others curse him.
He Hua is indeed not good at dealing with people, but she also stays at home to take care of her husband and children, serve her mother-in-law, and take good care of her children. There is nothing wrong with this.
"There was nothing strange about Xiao Li at the time. We're not sure whether the body was Xiao Li's. It was really hard for my second aunt to raise two children alone. If nothing happened and the body could be found, it would be better." Jiang Chuyue naturally would not tell the real reason.
She did this to make Manager Wei take action, so that she could find the flaws and then follow the clues to find out some information about the person behind Manager Wei.
Jiang Chuyue was extremely curious about who was behind Manager Wei.
What is the purpose of a person who has been manipulating things behind the scenes but never shows up and deliberately lets Jiang Chuyue know the existence of the iron mine?
Why did he think that after Jiang Chuyue discovered the situation at the iron mine, she would definitely rescue those hard-working people?
Or even, does he know that Xiao Yihao is now involved with Shuiyun Pavilion, so he knows that Xiao Yihao will definitely use Shuiyun Pavilion to help?
There were too many mysteries surrounding it, making Jiang Chuyue unable to understand or see through it.
Since there is no way to judge or guess, then find a way to make the person behind the scenes reveal some information. In this way, Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao will not be watched secretly by the person behind the scenes.
This feeling was not good, and it really made Jiang Chuyue feel insecure.
So even though it was a bit risky, she still decided to give it a try.
Regardless of success or failure, at least you have tried your best.
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang looked at Jiang Chuyue who was lost in thought. After looking at each other, they also became quiet.
