He knew he couldn’t inquire about this matter at the Yu Family; it might alert them, and that would be undesirable. He needed to quietly find out the details. After all, they lived in the same village and would need to get along in the future, so he couldn’t let himself be exposed.
After returning home, he first hid the unexpectedly obtained large front door, and then he set off towards the Lyu Family.
However, Sang Baosheng wasn’t reckless. He didn’t go directly to the Lyu Family; instead, he went to the Gao Family’s place in front of them. It just so happened that the Gao Family had asked him to handle some matters a few days ago.
Sang Baosheng deliberately didn’t enter the courtyard but pretended to pass by and called out a few times behind the Gao Family’s house. Hearing someone respond from inside, he said, "I asked about the matter you asked me to handle the other day."
The man from the Gao Family was putting on his shoes while walking towards the backyard: "Village chief, why not come in? My daughter Xiazi happened to bring back some watermelon; come in and have some to cool down."
Sang Baosheng waved his hand, "No need, I have other matters to attend to in a while. I just happened to pass by and wanted to let you know."
At this time, hearing the village chief’s voice outside the main gate, Mr. Lyu came out: "Village chief, why are you standing there, come in and have a seat."
Sang Baosheng said with a smile, "Xiazi’s dad asked me to handle some things; I said I happened to pass by and wanted to let him know."
At this time, Mr. Gao also came to the backyard wall: "Village chief, any news on the matter?"
The village chief smiled and said, "You’re quite lucky; a friend at the agricultural station is from that village and helped pass the message. Whether it works out or not, you’ll get a reply in a few days, so just wait with peace of mind."
Mr. Gao, hearing the village chief’s words, smiled and said, "If this works out, we’ll have our son deliver you some good wine."
Sang Baosheng also laughed, "Alright, I’ll remember that."
Watching them chat happily, Mr. Lyu asked, "What good news is this?"
The village chief said with a smile, "His family’s son has taken a liking to a girl from Ge Village and asked me to inquire about it."
Mr. Lyu laughed upon hearing this, "That’s good news; if it works out, we’ll soon have wedding wine to drink."
At this time, the village chief looked over, "Has the date for your family’s Juanzi been set?"
Mr. Lyu, hearing this, smiled even more, "It’s set for the 29th of this month, and the village chief must come early to help us with the preparations."
Sang Baosheng agreed with a smile, "We all live in the same village, and this is a great event. I’ll definitely be there."
As they chatted, they moved into the Lyu Family’s courtyard. It didn’t take long for Sang Baosheng to get the information about Yu Xinyan out of them. Afterwards, he didn’t linger, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left.
He hadn’t been home long before he hurriedly rode his bike out to the county.
A villager muttered as he left: "The village chief just got back, why is he leaving the village again?"
When Han Jingchen saw Sang Baosheng again, he stood up immediately: "So, did you find out anything?"
Sang Baosheng, of course, didn’t hide anything and recounted everything he had just learned: "Comrade, that’s all I found out; I hope it helps you."
As he expected, when he was leaving, Su Jingsong directly gave him a stack of vouchers: "Giving money is too tacky; these vouchers should be useful to you. Thank you for your information."
Sang Baosheng didn’t refuse because he knew these people probably didn’t want to owe any favors, and he hadn’t actually done much. He should be content with getting such good things.
After Sang Baosheng left, Han Jingchen looked at the scenery outside the window and then said to Su Jingsong, who walked in, "Let’s stay one more day tomorrow, visit her school, and inquire about that elderly person in town who helped her. We’ll leave for Sanyuan City the day after tomorrow."
Su Jingsong, seeing the sparkle in the leader’s eyes, was a bit puzzled: "Mr. Han, why don’t we just go directly to find her?"
Han Jingchen glanced at him, "I want to find out more about her. Also, the school might have her photo; I want to confirm it first. Besides, I also want to learn about the situation of that Aunt Zhang who helped her."
Su Jingsong now understood: "I get it, I’ll arrange for it."
Zhang Libing and the others got the news and returned just in time.
