The next morning, Xu Changping woke up slowly from his sleep, opened the curtains and looked at the gloomy sky outside. He still pushed open the window to ventilate the room.

After washing and getting ready, he put on his woolen coat and went straight out the door towards the Cui family in the front yard.

According to the time he estimated in his mind, Mrs. Cui should have finished her medicine last night, and today was the perfect time for her to take the tonic pills made with spiritual spring water.

After a while, Xu Changping arrived at the door of Cui's house. Looking at the slightly dilapidated but tightly closed door, he hesitated for a moment, glanced at the time on his watch, and finally raised his hand and knocked on it.

Although it was a bit early, he still had to go to work later, so he could only ask the Cui family's grandparents and grandchildren to get up early.

However, to his surprise, the door was not locked from the inside. As he applied force on his hands, it made a "creaking" sound and slowly opened a gap.

Xu Changping suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly withdrew his hand. He calmed himself down a little and then shouted softly into the house, "Cui Miaomiao, are you awake?" His voice was neither loud nor soft, so it should be just loud enough to be heard inside the house.

But after waiting for a long time, no one responded from the door. When Xu Changping was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a clear voice behind him: "Uncle Xu."

Hearing the sound, Xu Changping turned around suddenly and saw Cui Miaomiao standing behind him with a bucket in her hand.

As they all lived in the courtyard, Xu Changping naturally knew what the bucket in her hand was used for. Ignoring the awkward expression on her face, Xu Changping smiled and said, "Miaomiao, you are not at home!"

Cui Miaomiao lowered her head slightly, tightened her hands around the bucket handle, and answered in a quieter voice than before: "Well, I usually get up pretty early."

The atmosphere in front of the door became a little awkward for a moment, and Xu Changping spoke first: "I'm here to bring medicine to your grandma." After that, he moved to the side and gave the position at the door to Cui Miaomiao.

"Uncle Xu, come in." Seeing this, Cui Miaomiao hurriedly picked up the bucket and quickened her pace into the house somewhat uncomfortably.

In the inner room, Xu Changping had come to the bedside and sat down. He stretched out his right hand, gently placed three fingers on Mrs. Cui's wrinkled and slightly dry wrist, and began to carefully feel her pulse.

After a moment, Xu Changping slowly loosened his hand, and his expression did not change. Just as he had expected, although the inflammation in Mrs. Cui's body had subsided, she was still very weak.

Without waiting for Cui Miaomiao to ask, Xu Changping took out a small and exquisite white porcelain bottle from his pocket. The moment he opened the bottle cap, Cui Miaomiao smelled a faint fragrance.

Then she saw Xu Changping pour out a round but dark pill from the porcelain bottle and handed it to her with a gentle expression: "Feed this to your grandmother. She will be almost healed in a few days."

It is worth mentioning that this pill is different from the one he gave to Yang Xiaoyue before. This pill only uses one thousandth of a drop of spiritual spring water as raw material to refine it.

This kind of pill will not produce any immediate effect when taken by ordinary people. It will only slowly repair the deficiencies in the body over a long period of time.

Cui Miaomiao looked at the black pill in her hand with burning eyes, and quickly fed it into her grandmother's mouth as if she had made up her mind.

Then, she said seriously, "Uncle Xu, I know this pill is very precious. Don't worry, I will send the medical expenses to you tomorrow."

Although Cui Miaomiao was just a little girl, when she smelled the fragrance of the medicine just now, she knew that the pill was not ordinary.

Xu Changping was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Cui Miaomiao suddenly said this, but he still waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's not worth much if I do it myself."

Cui Miaomiao knew that Xu Changping was trying to shirk responsibility, so she immediately said anxiously, "Uncle Xu, don't worry, I have money now."

Xu Changping refused again, "Keep the money and spend it slowly. When you have enough money, you can go to school. You don't have to pay me for the pills." However, after hearing the little girl's affirmative words, he suddenly guessed the source of Cui Miaomiao's money.

In all likelihood, the so-called Cui Laowu has been thoroughly investigated, and the money in Cui Miaomiao's hands is probably compensation from the other party.

"Uncle Xu..." Cui Miaomiao wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Xu Changping: "Okay, just give me two cents for the anti-inflammatory medicine later. I made too many pills for others, so you don't have to pay."

After saying that, Xu Changping wanted to turn around and leave. When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, don't tell anyone else that you have money, okay?"

Cui Miaomiao nodded gently and said, "Uncle Xu, I understand." This time she did not mention the matter of giving money. She just silently made up her mind that she would repay Xu Changping's favor when she had the chance in the future.

At night, Xu Changping followed the crowd and stood in the middle courtyard, squinting at the person surrounded in the middle, who was speaking loudly and impassionedly:

"Dear comrades! Here, I want to inform you of an important situation. After our beloved Director Wang of the Street Office tirelessly and thoroughly investigated, a shocking thing surfaced - there are so many daring guys who dare to impersonate others!

However, please rest assured that justice will never be absent! Our wise and decisive Director Wang acted promptly and quickly, and has sent all those who violated the law and discipline to the police station to let them receive the due punishment of the law. "

However, this is just the beginning. The main purpose of my coming here again today is to solemnly remind everyone present: you must protect your household registration book. This small household registration book carries the identity information and various rights of a family, and it must not be lost!

At the same time, we also warn everyone not to sign your name or put your fingerprints on the paper handed to you by others casually. Because behind those seemingly ordinary papers, there may be unknown traps and conspiracies. Once you sign and put your fingerprints, the consequences may be disastrous.

Therefore, please be vigilant and protect the legal rights of yourself and your family..."

As the young official sent by the subdistrict office talked for nearly an hour, Xu Changping roughly pieced together what had happened to the Cui family back then.

According to Xu Changping's estimation, someone must have pretended to be the leader of the paper mill and gave Mrs. Cui some money, asking the illiterate woman to sign a note to settle down and transfer her job.

Then this man took these things and swallowed up all the compensation that the paper mill gave to the Cui family.

However, Xu Changping didn't believe that this matter could have been accomplished without the help of people from the paper factory and the street office.
