Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 373 Asking for help from Mr. Zhang

After Secretary Yan left, Liu Jingxue first called the big brother's unit.

My eldest brother is on an island, and communication is not very convenient. There is no phone in my office, and it will take some time for the soldier on duty to call my eldest brother to answer the phone. During this time, I can talk to Grandpa Zhang on the phone without wasting time.

After the call was connected, Liu Jingxue made an appointment with the soldier to call back in 15 minutes. After hanging up the phone, she immediately called Grandpa Zhang's office.

When she made the call, she was still a little worried that Grandpa Zhang was not in the office because he was in a meeting or something else.

Fortunately, she was lucky. After the call was connected, the voice that came over was Grandpa Zhang's.

Liu Jingxue quickly introduced herself, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm Xiaoxue, Liu Jingxue."

"Xiaoxue, you've never called grandpa since I gave you the phone number. Why did you call me today for the first time?"

"Grandpa Zhang, the phone number you left me is your office phone number, which is for business matters. I'm embarrassed to bother you so often.

We don't communicate often, so if there's anything, just write it down in the letter."

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he deliberately said, "It seems that Grandpa Zhang was wrong. He should not have left his office phone number, but his home phone number.

But I was thinking that I am usually at home at night and am in the office during the day. I left my office phone number so that you can call someone.

Besides, your production team doesn’t have electricity or telephone, so you have nowhere to make calls at night.”

"Oh, Grandpa Zhang, that's not what I meant." Liu Jingxue explained hurriedly.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to explain. Grandpa Zhang knows what you mean. He was just teasing you."

"Xiaoxue, you called me today. Did you encounter any difficulties?" Mr. Zhang hit the nail directly.

"Nothing can be hidden from Grandpa Zhang, I really encountered trouble.

I can’t get out of this situation, so I can only ask Grandpa Zhang for help.”

“Just look for Grandpa Zhang. If you encounter any problems that you can’t solve by yourself in the future, come and look for Grandpa Zhang.

Xiaoxue, tell me what trouble you are in."

Liu Jingxue did not hide anything and talked about the matter.

"Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Wu's grandson from the Zhou family in Beijing has come to work in the countryside with my production team, and he brought a follower with him, saying that he is a young man from the Zheng family, the mortal enemy of the Zhou family.

The one from the Zheng family heard about my situation from the villagers and started asking about me.

The one from the Zhou family informed me that my abilities were so great that the Zheng family might target me and want me to work for them.

They said that if I didn’t obey, they would start with my relatives and use them as threats to force me to submit.”

“Grandpa Zhang, I don’t know much about the practices of those big families.

I don't know whether what the Zhou family kid said is true or alarmist. Please help me judge."

Grandpa Zhang had mentioned the affairs of Mr. Wu’s in-laws, the Zhou family, in his previous letter, and also mentioned that the old man of the Zhou family had contacted him.

Grandpa Zhang also said that Mr. Zhou is a trustworthy person.

He informed the Zhou family of everything that happened to him and his uncle, so that they wouldn't have to investigate the situation of the people in the cowshed again.

That's why Liu Jingxue said it directly.

After listening to Liu Jingxue's words, Mr. Zhang was silent for a while before speaking again.

“I know a little about the Zheng family’s affairs.

Judging from their family's style of doing things, it is very likely that they will do whatever it takes to make you work for them, just as the Zhou family kid said.

Using relatives as threats is a common tactic they use, and it works extremely well.”

After a pause, Elder Zhang asked, "What did the Zhou family kid say?

Their family has brought the person here, they won't just leave it alone and let you take the risk.

This is not like the style of Mr. Zhou. "

"After Zhou Mingxuan came here, he has not had any contact with Grandpa Wu. I think he is afraid that the Zheng family will find out about their relationship.

Grandpa Zou meant that Grandpa Zhou wanted to use this person to train his grandson. "

"This is indeed something that a big family like theirs would do," said Mr. Zhang affirmatively.

“Zhou Mingxuan said that Mr. Zhou was going to fight back and find a way to deal with the Zheng family after he went to the countryside.

And after he has gained a firm foothold, he will also take steps to deal with the man from the Zheng family.

He asked me not to communicate with my family during this period so that they would not be able to find out who I was communicating with through the post office.

As for my hometown, he asked me to deal with it as well, so that no one can find out any information about my uncle and his family there."

"Does your hometown's household registration have any information about your uncle's family?" Mr. Zhang asked.

Liu Jingxue said, "Normally speaking, there shouldn't be any.

My grandparents moved there later. At that time, my uncle and father were both in the army, and they probably did not register their household registration in Xinshi.

But I'm not 100% sure.

My uncle also came back to visit, and all the neighbors knew about it.

If someone went over to ask, they would probably know about the existence of uncle and others.

Didn’t you find out about your uncle and his family before?”

“I found the information about your uncle in your father’s file.

Your father has been following me since he joined the army, and has been following me for so many years. Your uncle has been following your Grandpa Zou, and we used to talk about the two brothers often, so after we found out about you, we thought about checking your uncle.

If it were someone else who was not familiar with your uncle, if they did not know about your uncle from your household registration or other people, they would not check it out. "

"Well, I will take out your father and mother's files from the archives and keep them for now, so that others can't check their files and find your uncle.

As for your hometown, Xinshi, I remember that I asked someone to investigate before, and the person who investigated said that the director of the Public Security Bureau of Xinshi was your father's comrade-in-arms?"

“It’s Uncle Wu Jiefang. He is indeed my father’s comrade-in-arms and he has often visited my home over the years.

He also met with my uncle.”

“Since he visits your home so often, it means he remembers his comradeship with your father.

I will contact him and ask him to check the household registration of your family before. If there is any information about your uncle, delete it.

As for your neighbors, I will also ask him to go to their homes and tell them not to mention it to anyone in the future."

"Your grandparents and parents have all passed away, and you can't find any other relatives. As long as they don't catch you, they can't force you to submit.

Since Mr. Zhou said that, the Zheng family will not last long. As long as this period of time passes, you will be safe."

"Then I'll leave everything to Grandpa Zhang.

Please do not send me any letters or packages during this period, in case the Zheng family finds out."

"Okay, after I get the job done, I'll call your commune secretary and ask him to pass on the message to you.

If you have any questions, call Grandpa Zhang, don't be polite with me."

The two chatted for a few more words on the phone and then hung up.
