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

Chapter 437 Gathering Information 1

When Feng Qingqing heard an older woman take the initiative to ask, she was delighted, but her expression remained unchanged.

She still looked like a timid, country girl who had never seen much of the world.

Seeing this, the old woman knew that the girl might be a bit young, so she quickly stood up, took a few steps, and pulled Feng Qingqing to her side.

After looking him up and down, he finally asked again:

"Don't be afraid, just say what's on your mind. We'll definitely lend a hand if we can."

Look at this girl with two children, she looks travel-worn.

There must be some reason for it.

Heavens have mercy, I wonder which rural area they came from, and what business they have in the Education Bureau's residential compound.

Seeing this, the other older women also started asking questions in twos and threes.

They were all retired employees from the residential compound. Although they usually liked to gossip, they still felt some pity when they saw the pitiful mother and her three children.

If it doesn't affect my own or my family's future, there's nothing wrong with lending a hand.

Seeing this, Feng Qingqing thought to herself that the time was almost right, and then she began to speak somewhat hesitantly.

Her words were somewhat incoherent, but the older women still managed to glean key information from them.

The girl had brought two children; she had come looking for the children's father.

The child's father was a sent-down youth who was transferred back to Beijing a few months ago because his family found him a job.

Before he left, we agreed that once he settled down, he would go back and bring his wife and children back to Beijing to enjoy a comfortable life.

Who knew that the man would be gone for more than half a year, without a single phone call or letter.

Like a kite with a broken string, there is no trace of its origin.

She was anxiously waiting in the countryside with her two children, so she had no choice but to bring them to Beijing to find her husband.

When the older women heard Feng Qingqing say this, they all had expressions of "I knew it!" on their faces.

In recent years, as more and more educated youth who had been sent to the countryside returned to the city, they have heard many stories like this.

In their family compound belonging to the Education Bureau, there was a family whose son was sent to the countryside as an educated youth, and I later heard that he settled down in the countryside.

But when that young man came back last year, he came back alone.

They asked about the young man, but the mother wouldn't allow others to speculate, so she said that her son had never been married in the countryside.

She was just dating someone, but now she's back in the city. Her boyfriend's parents and brothers are all in the countryside and couldn't bear to see her go too far away, so they broke up.

But at the time, few people in their compound believed it. There were people in their compound who were in the same brigade as that young man, and the truth couldn't be hidden from them.

If people don't admit it, they won't go to their door and say anything irrelevant; that would just make them hateful.

This incident broadened their horizons, and as more and more people returned to the city, such things became commonplace.

It wasn't just the male educated youth; many of the female educated youth who had settled in the countryside, even those who had already had children, returned to the city alone.

This has happened far too often in recent years; it's nothing new.

Unexpectedly, the old lady encountered another problem today.

But this time, it was a girl who looked like she came from the countryside, bringing her whole family to look for someone.

They've rarely heard of this kind of thing.

After all, this is Beijing. Coming from other places not only requires expensive train tickets, but also a letter of introduction, and there's no guarantee of finding the right person.

These days, money doesn't grow on trees, and many families may not even be able to come up with this amount of money.

Next, naturally, they inquired about the man Feng Qingqing was looking for.

Since it was all made up, I naturally didn't expect to get accurate information from them.

But over time, I did become somewhat familiar with these middle-aged women.

She came here today mainly to find out the specific building number where the Tian family lives through these older women, and also to learn more about the Tian family's situation.

In her past life, she only knew a few fragments of information.

Although Tian Xingzhu also went to the countryside in this lifetime, she did not have the opportunity to get to know her well, and naturally did not know the specific situation of the Tian family.

Although this time, due to time constraints, and the fact that Tian's father might be He Yong'an's biological father, even she couldn't do anything on her own.

Before she came to Beijing, she mentioned it to He Yong'an, but the couple did not discuss the details.

Therefore, she did not intend to wipe out the Tian family this time.

It's just that the Tian family is too wealthy. Just for Tian Xingzhu to go to the countryside, the family prepared so much money and valuables for her, including jewelry.

This is not something an ordinary family could do.

This is too rich; I'll have to borrow some money to spend.

Let them cough up some blood this time, to lessen their sins.

She had malicious thoughts in her mind.

Of course, this time I'm only here to collect some interest.

As for the rest, we plan to discuss it with He Yong'an next year after she comes to Beijing for the college entrance examination and decide how to handle it.

In the next few days, let's try our luck. If we can get further information about the Tian family, that would be even better.

If not, it won't have a big impact; she came here this time to collect all the good stuff.

As for the rest, there will be plenty of time after we come to Beijing.

I don't care about this moment.

She understood the situation clearly, so she wasn't in a hurry.

After getting to know the older women, she even gave each of them a few White Rabbit milk candies to thank them for their previous advice.

Seeing how open and cheerful she was, the older women felt even more affection for this unfortunate girl.

While talking to several older women, Feng Qingqing kept a close eye on the pedestrians passing by the residential compound.

It was obvious that, perhaps because it was a residential compound for the Education Bureau, the residents were dressed much better than the others she had seen on the street before.

At least here, she rarely sees clothes with patches.

Since this is during working and school hours, most of the people coming and going in the residential compound are unemployed housewives or elderly people and children at home.

She checked the time; it was not yet ten o'clock.

I have a rough idea in my mind.

Feng Qingqing brought to life a rural girl who had lived in the countryside for many years and had never seen much of the world.

If they see something they don't understand, they'll ask a few of the older women out of curiosity.

She would stare at brightly colored clothes, fresh food, novel shoe styles, and even an old man's hat for a long time.

At the same time, they discreetly gathered information about the general situation of the Education Bureau's residential compound.

From the outside, the residential compound appears to have about a dozen buildings.

But she had absolutely no idea what the interior was like, including its size and how it was allocated.

With the introduction from these middle-aged women, I quickly understood the situation here.
