I make a living solving crimes.

Chapter 357 A drop of grace

Chang Wei heard the Zheng family's discussions in the yard. He smiled silently, waved his hand to let Fan Tuaner go upstairs first, and walked over and knocked on the door.

"Hello, leader." Seeing Chang Wei coming, Zheng Li quickly stood up and greeted him. Following behind him was an honest family. He was at a loss as to how to respond.

"Sit down, stop calling me boss, we are the same age, and you are a month older than me."

Zheng Li smiled foolishly and said nothing.

If I don't call you leader, should I call you Xiao Chang or Xiao Wei? Calling you comrade is not appropriate!

Only then did he realize that this peer had already made a great name for himself. He was a genuine deputy-division-level cadre and a special envoy from the capital.

Chang Wei naturally wouldn't show off in front of him. Well, he didn't like showing off in front of criminals either.

Of course, he would not flatter him. Even if Zheng Li returned to his ancestral home, he would not be just a second-generation.

Now in the whole capital, the only person he is afraid of is a junior high school student from Beijing No. 4 Middle School, who is thirteen years old this year.

Chang Wei was afraid of him because he was afraid of having any connection with him.

Chang Wei looked at Zheng Sancai and others who were fidgeting in the room, greeted them with a smile, and glanced at Zheng Jia Dani by the way.

The girl hid behind her mother, poked out half of her head and looked at him curiously. When she was about to meet Chang Wei's eyes, she timidly retracted her gaze, her face flushed.

Judging by the standards of a village girl, this is indeed a village beauty.

Chang Wei didn't have any extra thoughts, he just admired.

At the age of seventeen, she dropped out of school early and started earning work points to take care of her younger brother, which is very similar to her older sister.

"Sorry to bother you guys." Chang Wei said politely, and said to Zheng Li, "Let's go out and talk, so as not to disturb your family."

"Okay." The young man agreed with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

After leaving the room, he sat down on two chairs in the hall. Chang Wei handed him a cigarette and asked, "Don't you know how to smoke?"

"I smoked two cigarettes secretly when I was in school, but I'm not used to it." Zheng Li waved his hands to refuse.

Chang Wei didn't force it and lit one on his own.

Smoking is a bad habit from the previous life, and it is also a job requirement in this life.

Saying that it is necessary for work is not an excuse like smoking to refresh yourself or concentrate, it is a real need.

There is no saying that smoking is harmful to health. More than 80% of men smoke.

So in many cases, a cigarette can quickly bring two men closer together.

Especially in unfamiliar situations.

For example, when you go to do some business and you want to know some information at the concierge, a cigarette can gain the other party's goodwill.

This is the most cost-effective method.

Cigarettes build bridges, wine paves the way,

Sex is pleasure, wealth wards off disasters,

More gifts will open the back door.

If you want to attack a city, you need wine as your weapon.

The road is difficult to travel and money is needed!

This refers to the ways of the world. Don't use it as an excuse just because you're drunkard.

"You have done a great job this time. Is there anything you want?"

"I, I don't know." Zheng Li looked at Chang Wei blankly. "Leader Fan also asked me about these things today and said he could arrange it for me, but I'm afraid that after I move to the city, no one will take care of my parents. My sister will have to get married eventually, and my brother is still young."

No matter how precocious he was, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy. Faced with major life decisions, he was confused and didn't know what to do.

Chang Wei smiled. Zheng Li's performance today was already amazing enough. He really acted like a teenager at this moment.

"I heard from your...colleagues inside about this. You want to repay the favor, right?"

"I can never repay the kindness of raising me. I just can't bear to leave my parents. I am the eldest son in the family, and it is my responsibility to take care of them until the end of their lives."

"Well, if you can think this way, it's worth it that they raised you to adulthood." Chang Wei's words sounded old-fashioned, but not at all out of place.

Zheng Li didn't think it was wrong. He looked at the dark night sky outside the window and slowly said, "When I was in fourth grade, my teacher sent me back home because I had no money to pay for tuition. I knew my parents had no money, so I sat by the river alone for the whole day. That was the loneliest and most helpless day of my life."

It is somewhat ironic that a sixteen-year-old boy begins to lament his life.

But Chang Wei did not laugh and listened carefully.

"When I got home that night, my sister said she didn't want to study anymore, and my parents agreed. My sister had just finished primary school at that time."

Chang Wei nodded and instantly understood Zheng Li’s feelings towards his family.

He took a deep puff of cigarette, gathered it in his lungs, and exhaled it far away, then said, "I can arrange for you to work at the Public Security Bureau in Ping County, and find a formal job for your sister. This way, you will be close to home and can go back on weekends, and your brother can also go to school in the county."

Zheng Li looked at Chang Wei, surprise and joy in his eyes.

"This will be good for your sister too. She will eat commercial grain and have a job in the future, so she will have more power to find a husband. Your parents are not even forty years old yet, so they don't need you to serve them every day. You should be filial to them after you get married."

"......I was still young." When the young man mentioned this, he finally blushed and was speechless.

Chang Wei also laughed, "I heard from your brigade secretary before that your family is looking for a wife for you, right?"

"I, here, the bride price is high."

"Then you should work hard and save more money."

Zheng Li was too embarrassed to respond, and his cheeks flushed as he lowered his head.

He was thinking seriously about Chang Wei's suggestion.

It takes no more than two hours to walk from the county town to his home, which is nothing for a Chinese with a strong sense of responsibility.

As long as he and his sister can settle down in the county town, they will have the opportunity to bring their parents to the county town in the future.

"Okay, go back and discuss it with your family."

Seeing Chang Wei was about to leave, Zheng Li bowed to him earnestly, "Thank you, leader."

Chang Wei smiled and nodded, then walked up the stairs.

This was the result of his discussion with Fan Tuaner on the way back.

Although the Fan family did not say it explicitly, their meaning was very clear. They would not take Zheng Li back for the time being, and would not even recognize him. They would talk about it later.

Then there is no need for Fan Tuaner to step in for this matter, Chang Wei can arrange it clearly for him.

Let Zheng Li work as a policeman in the county public security bureau, and arrange for his sister to work in logistics as well. No one will starve to death, whether she is in charge of the warehouse or the canteen.

The Zheng family did not treat Zheng Li unfairly, and it was only natural for them to make good arrangements for Zheng Dani.

Grandma Du Ye knows that even the smallest bit of kindness should be repaid with a big helping.

Although the personnel power of the county bureau lies in the hands of the county party committee, Chang Wei believes that they will give face to such a small request.

After all, Ye Guoshan has not been reincarnated yet.

With his meritorious service in catching spies, Chang Wei can justifiably abuse his power for personal gain.

After all, it was his own credit that he gave up.

Although the credit of catching a hidden spy is of no use to him now.

When going upstairs, Chang Wei could still hear the Zheng family members jumping for joy together.

The moon rises from the horizon, casting its bright and gentle light, secretly listening to the secrets of the world.
