Chapter 256 There is indeed a son outside
Fortunately, after crying, the niece-in-law's pent-up emotions finally dissipated a little. She talked to her elder sister and **ping about many things in the past, and she talked a lot more. The three of them cried and laughed on the sofa.
Seeing this, Wang Jiandang tactfully went into the kitchen, washed the dishes, and then used the excuse of returning the bucket to Zhao Xiaojing, leaving the space for the three women.
"What a coincidence! The mutton was sent here two days ago. Your Aunt Chen and I didn't have time to prepare it, so we froze it in the refrigerator. Luckily, I remembered to ask you to make it today. It's really a lifesaver. Your Aunt Chen doesn't know how to thank you!" Wang Jiandang sighed.
"The mutton that Uncle Wang brought is the best. I didn't do anything to clean it. I just cooked it." Zhao Xiaojing told the truth.
"No matter how good the meat is, it will be useless if you don't know how to cook it. Her eldest sister's family has tried all kinds of good things in different ways, but none of them worked. It was only your cooking that made us hit it by accident, and we are just taking advantage of you. My niece-in-law said that as soon as she put the mutton in her mouth, she felt that it tasted the same as the mutton soup restaurant they specially found in Ning Province that made fresh mutton that day!
And the winter bamboo shoots, they tasted quite fresh to me. I saw you only added a few slices of mushrooms, but the taste was so much better. They drank the mutton soup, but I only ate the winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms. I ate half the bowl of soup! I saw my niece-in-law also took several bites with her chopsticks.”
"What a coincidence." Zhao Xiaojing nodded in realization.
This should be thanked to the system, because the system upgraded the grade of mutton, and the first level upgraded just happened to be freshly slaughtered beach sheep. She also cooked the mutton soup strictly according to the method of boiling good ingredients with water and adding salt, and the smell of mutton happened to be slightly removed, which matched the taste of her niece-in-law's memory.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, this time it's all thanks to you! Xiao Zhao, your Aunt Chen has always had a good relationship with her eldest sister since she was young. This time she was so worried about this matter that she couldn't sleep every night. If your son and daughter-in-law were not busy, your Aunt Chen would have to come back to take care of her grandson, and she would have stayed in her hometown to help take care of her niece-in-law.
We won’t tell you more. If you have any difficulties in the future, please tell us and we will help you in any way we can! "Wang Jiandang said sincerely and forcefully.
Zhao Xiaojing looked up at Wang Jiandang, paused for a moment and then said, "Uncle Wang, to be honest, there is something I want to ask you for help."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Wang Jiandang looked curious.
"Uncle Wang, you often go to construction sites and you are familiar with Mingcheng in Henan Province. Do you know a man named Zhou Jianye?" Zhao Xiaojing asked nervously.
"I know him. He's quite familiar with him. What's the matter?" Wang Jiandang has been to construction sites of all sizes in four provinces, and he can immediately identify Zhou Jianye when he is mentioned. It seems that he is indeed very familiar with his third uncle. Zhao Xiaojing suddenly became nervous again.
"So what's the relationship between Uncle Wang and him?"
"Not bad. He has a lot of business dealings with his boss. His boss always invites him to dinner. What's wrong with you, Xiao Zhao?"
Zhao Xiaojing was silent for a few seconds, unable to determine whether this "okay" relationship could make Wang Jiandang stand on her side.
But when I thought about the special favorability measured by the system, I suddenly felt more confident and decided to say it directly.
"Uncle Wang, he is my third uncle. You know, my mother fell ill when I was in high school and later passed away. At that time, my mother was ill, and our family's expenses were all paid by my third aunt. She has been supporting me all these years. But she has not had a good life these years. She has to take care of the whole family, and my third uncle doesn't give much money to the family. My third aunt also heard that he has a son outside..."
As Zhao Xiaojing spoke, she looked at Wang Jiandang's expression, watching his face change from surprise to pity and then to a complicated one. He frowned and lowered his head in deep thought.
"I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit of the situation without making things difficult for me, Uncle Wang? My third aunt has also been to the construction site, but she also has to go to work and can only be gone for a few days each time. She can't find out anything. She lives a life of hardship at home and I can't even ask about my third uncle's salary." Zhao Xiaojing added.
"Your third aunt is also pitiful." Wang Jiandang sighed, said this and fell silent again.
Zhao Xiaojing took a sip of tea slowly. Knowing that Wang Jiandang was probably thinking about it, she didn't say anything else.
"How should I tell you? Many people know about this matter, but they probably only know the general idea. Your third aunt has only heard that he has a son, right?" Wang Jiandang spoke after thinking for a while.
Zhao Xiaojing nodded. "Third Aunt also heard it by chance. That person said it vaguely, and I don't know whether it is true or not."
"Oh." Wang Jiandang sighed and hesitated again and again.
"Xiao Zhao, you asked the right question. I can explain it to you privately, but if they want to break up, you have to find out on your own. It's best not to tell your third aunt about my existence. Do you understand?"
Seeing Wang Jiandang's serious words, Zhao Xiaojing nodded solemnly, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. After all, you still have to deal with each other at work. I'm just asking you about the situation, and I will never drag you into this."
Wang Jiandang nodded, thought for a moment and then dropped a bombshell, "I don't know the exact salary of your third uncle, but I can tell you a little.
He is the general contractor, which you can understand as the one who assigns engineering business. There are various subcontractors under him, and your third uncle has a certain say in deciding which subcontractor to give the project to.
Two months ago, an industry insider I know negotiated a project with him, and after winning the bid, he received a private commission of 100,000 yuan.
This is a slightly larger project, but not the biggest. He doesn’t often get this much money, but a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars in profit is commonplace for him.”
Zhao Xiaojing was shocked, remembering that since Sister Yanyan got married, her third uncle only sent back a few thousand yuan every one or two months. Her third aunt had to rely on her own salary to support the family. They didn't live in extreme poverty, but they had always lived a frugal and simple life.
She knew that her third uncle should have saved some private money, but she didn't expect it to be so much. From this point of view, the money sent back was just a drop in the bucket.
"He does have a son, he should be three years old, no, he is about five years old now. The woman outside has been with him for more than ten years. It seems that she has known your third uncle for a long time, and she is also from Yangcheng.
I heard that after her husband died early, she has been following your third uncle wholeheartedly. She also has a daughter, and now her son's household registration is under the name of her brother and sister-in-law. Her brother is infertile and now raises their son as his own child, and has no intention of telling the child.
In addition, I heard that they were planning to buy a house in Yucheng, the capital of Henan Province, two years ago, but I don’t know if they have bought one yet.”
Wang Jiandang frowned and recalled what happened while pouring out what he knew.
