I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag

Chapter 155 Sadness

"That bastard Nong Xingwei, has he committed a crime again outside?" Nong Tiezhu asked angrily.

"Uncle, it's not certain whether this criminal has committed a crime or not. We need to find him first. Do you know where he is now?" Zhang Hao asked.

Nong Tiezhu said, "I don't know. More than ten years ago, this bastard was caught breaking the law. After he was released from prison, he returned to the village and lived there for a few years."

"This bastard acted like a decent person at first, but as time went on, his beastly nature was exposed. He even tried to commit indecent acts against his sister-in-law. Fortunately, he was discovered and stopped, so he didn't succeed."

"But even so, he was still beaten by his mother and driven out of the village. He never came back!"

Although the incident happened more than ten years ago, Nong Tiezhu still showed an indignant look on his face when he talked about it.

Nong Xingwei is the key figure in clearing the Shen family's uncle and nephew's grievances, and he must be found.

"Uncle, do you know who else in the village might know his whereabouts?" Zhang Hao asked.

Nong Tiezhu said, "Who in the village would dare to associate with such a scumbag? But his mother still lives in the village, so maybe he still has contact with her."

"Uncle, can you take me to meet him?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Okay, come with me!" said Nong Tiezhu.

Zhang Hao nodded and followed Nong Tiezhu out of the village committee. When they reached the door, Zhang Hao turned to Gao Meilin and said, "Brother, read more books and learn some agricultural knowledge. If you really don't understand something, you can always ask the uncles and aunts in the village. It's much better than figuring it out on your own."

Gao Meilin was embarrassed when he heard this. Fortunately, this incident was not seen by other people in the village, otherwise how could he have the face to stay in the village?

Although they live in the countryside, most villagers now live a good life. They have demolished their bungalows and built two-story buildings.

Nong Tiezhu led Zhang Hao through the village, turning left and right, and finally stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated bungalow. "Leader, Nong Xingwei's mother lives here!"

"this?"

Zhang Hao looked at the bungalow that was in sharp contrast with the surrounding houses and frowned slightly.

"Why is this place so shabby?"

Nong Tiezhu replied, "It's normal. The old man died early, and the old lady only has this one son. He's not working properly, hasn't been home for more than ten years, and has no one to help him. It's good enough that they can live like this."

"They say raising a son is a way to support you in your old age, but raising such a troublesome scumbag is worse than not having one at all!"

Zhang Hao nodded, thinking that this made sense. Many of the older generation favored boys over girls, and gave birth to three or four children in a row just to have a son.

But in reality, when they get old, it is basically their daughters who really support them, and their sons rarely even show up.

"Come on, leader, let's go in!" Nong Tiezhu took Zhang Hao in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old lady with gray hair and a hunched body standing next to the stove.

"Auntie!" Nong Tiezhu shouted.

"Ergou is here!" Yang Xiuqin replied loudly.

Nong Tiezhu explained to Zhang Hao, "Boss, she's old and her hearing is a little poor, so she can't hear me if I speak softly."

Zhang Hao nodded.

Then Nong Tiezhu continued to shout loudly: "Auntie, this is a leader from the city. He wants to ask you about Nong Xingwei."

When Yang Xiuqin heard this, panic appeared on her old face. She said nervously, "Leader, what crime did my Xiaowei commit outside again? This good-for-nothing boy never learns his lesson and spends all day stealing and cheating. It's all my fault for not educating him well since he was a child!"

Yang Xiuqin is old, and Zhang Hao is really afraid that she might faint from excitement, which would then make him bear a great responsibility.

He quickly explained, "Auntie, don't get excited. Nong Xingwei didn't break the law. I just want to ask him about a previous case!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. If he commits a crime again, I really don't want to see him die!"

Zhang Hao asked, "Auntie, are you still in touch with your son?"

Yang Xiuqin shook her head: "He hasn't come back to see me, an old woman, for more than ten years."

"You scumbag, you didn't even come back to see me at my age. You have a conscience that must have been eaten by a dog!" Nong Tiezhu cursed indignantly.

Yang Xiuqin shook her head and said, "It's not Xiao Wei's fault. It was me who didn't let him come back. He did something worse than an animal back then. Luckily, you adults were magnanimous and let him go. You didn't report him to the police and had him arrested. But how could he have the nerve to come back to the village to see you?"

No contact for more than ten years.

Zhang Hao had basically given up hope, but he still asked with the mentality of giving it a try, "Auntie, do you know where Nong Xingwei lives now?"

Yang Xiuqin said, "Leader, please wait a moment."

Then Yang Xiuqin walked into the house tremblingly on crutches, got on the kang, and rummaged through the small box. Then she came out and took out a yellowed piece of paper and handed it to Zhang Hao: "Boss, this is what Xiao Wei asked someone to bring back. It has Xiao Wei's pager number and address on it. I was told to go up and find him if anything happens!"

Zhang Hao took a look at the yellowed but well-preserved paper. On it was a pager number, but it was already 2010 and pagers were no longer usable.

As for this address, it has been more than ten years. Who knows if Nong Xingwei still lives here?

But anyway, this is a clue.

So I said, "Okay, Auntie, I'll be leaving first!"

When Zhang Hao was about to turn around and leave, Yang Xiuqin suddenly called out, "Leader."

"Auntie, do you have anything else to say?" Zhang Hao asked.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yang Xiuqin said, "Leader, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Auntie, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!" Zhang Hao said immediately.

Yang Xiuqin said, "Leader, if you see my good-for-nothing son, if he hasn't broken the law and hasn't been arrested by you, please tell him something. If he still has feelings for me, please come back and see me. I don't have much time left."

Zhang Hao felt sad when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely convey your message."

"Thank you, leader."

Zhang Hao turned and left. When he reached the door, he looked back and saw Yang Xiuqin leaning against the door, her figure looking so lonely.

I really don’t know if Nong Xingwei will regret what he did when he was young when he sees all this.

When Zhang Hao was leaving, he took out five hundred yuan from his pocket, handed it to Nong Tiezhu, and said, "Uncle, please help me give this money to Auntie."

"Leader, this is not possible. How can this be done?" Nong Tiezhu said hurriedly.

Zhang Hao shook his head and forced the money into Nong Tiezhu's hand: "Just give it to Auntie for me."

Zhang Hao just took a look and saw that the noodles in Yang Xiuqin's pot had been there for who knows how long and were no longer in shape.

Zhang Hao left Nongjia Village and returned to the procuratorate, planning to find time to see if Nong Xingwei still lived there.

As soon as I entered the office, before I could even take a sip of water, Liu Zhengde appeared in the office...
