Chapter 360: Selling Illegal Items
The next day, He Mingming went to the corridor outside Class 1 again, hoping to "accidentally meet" Han.
As a result, I wandered around for several times but didn't meet Han Jisong.
After asking around, I found out that Han Jisong had taken a leave of absence.
"Then, where is He Tiantian?" He Mingming called out the name somewhat awkwardly.
It’s not her fault that she feels awkward, because this name originally belonged to her.
He Mingming and He Xiangjun's family are relatives. After He Xiangjun sacrificed his life saving others, according to local customs, his family would generally adopt a child for him from among his relatives. Otherwise, he would not even have a descendant to visit his grave and burn paper for him in the future. Wouldn't that be too pitiful?
He Mingming has only one younger brother, and when He Xiangjun died, her brother was not yet born.
The family wanted to adopt He Mingming to He Xiangjun.
In this way, He Mingming can get a dowry from Grandpa He in the future, and her family will not have to spend extra money to buy her a dowry.
But the daughter is theirs, so when He Mingming gets married, they can keep the gift for themselves.
Let the He family elders raise their daughter and provide a dowry for their daughter, and in the end the betrothal gift will still be theirs. Just think about it, they make a lot of money.
Anyway, the two elders of the He family are so old. To put it bluntly, the old man and woman are half buried in the ground. Who knows when they will die?
When those two old guys are gone, won’t He Mingming still be their daughter?
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried to persuade them, the old couple of the He family were unwilling to adopt He Mingming to He Xiangjun.
When they are pushed to the limit, they say they want a boy.
Bah! You're just dreaming. Who would give away their good son?
The matter was eventually left unresolved.
Just when the He family thought that the He elders would not adopt another child for He Xiangjun, they suddenly heard that they had adopted a child with a different surname for He Xiangjun, and it was a girl.
He Mingming's parents were almost mad with anger at that time.
Good job!
It turns out that the two old guys in the He family didn't want a boy at all.
They just look down on their Mingming!
He Mingming didn't take it seriously at first. After all, they all lived in the same village. The He family's elders seemed stingy and didn't look like a wealthy family, so it would be better if they were unwilling to adopt her.
If I were adopted into their family, I might have to live with the He family elders and eat coarse food. How could it be as comfortable as living at home?
Unexpectedly, these two old guys are so insidious and cunning!
It turns out that the stingy look he displayed in the village before was all an act.
As soon as Jiang Tian was adopted, the two old men bought land and built a big house near the provincial road.
He Mingming also went with his parents to see the new house of the He family's elders. The house was really big and beautiful, and it was right next to the provincial road, so it was very convenient for taking a bus to buy things.
After returning from He's house, He Mingming regretted it.
If her parents had known that the two old men in the He family were so rich, they should have sent her directly to the He family.
Didn't Jiang Tian just come to me on her own initiative?
Bah! How shameless! Grandpa and grandma He said they didn't want to adopt the child, but you still sent him to your house.
If she had been as thick-skinned as Jiang Tian, she would have been living in that big house on the provincial road by now.
Being so close, she might have developed feelings for Han Jisong, so how could she care about Jiang Tian?
Moreover, He Mingming vaguely heard from his second cousin that the reason why Han Jisong favored Jiang Tian so much was probably not because he liked her that much, but because she was He Xiangjun's adopted daughter.
I heard that several of He Xiangjun's former comrades in the army are now either in the Public Security Bureau, the Traffic Police Team, the Transportation Bureau, etc., and they are all leaders of powerful departments.
Han Jisong wanted to do transportation business in the area of Provincial Highway 336. Instead of spending a lot of money to build relationships with these powerful departments, it would be better for him to directly marry He Xiangjun's daughter.
After all, He Xiangjun is no longer with us, and his comrades are very sentimental. They all treat Jiang Tian, who has changed her name to He Tiantian, as their treasure.
Marrying Jiang Tian would mean becoming the son-in-law of those big leaders.
How could a father-in-law not promote his own son-in-law?
Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that Han Jisong, at such a young age, could do such a big business on the provincial road.
It turns out that it’s all because of this relationship.
It would have been fine if he didn't know about this matter, but ever since he found out about the relationship involved, He Mingming couldn't help but sneer in his heart every time he saw Jiang Tian enjoying Han Jisong's care with peace of mind.
What are you so proud of?
If you hadn't been adopted by He Xiangjun, Han Jisong might not even bother to look at you.
When He Mingming thought about the new house built by the He family on the provincial road and Han Jisong, the rich son-in-law, which should have originally belonged to her, she was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.
She is obviously the daughter of the He family. Are those two old men in the He family blind? Or are they old and confused?
Instead of wanting the He family's own daughter, they adopted a stranger who had no He family bloodline to He Xiangjun, and gave all the He family's connections, resources, and wealth to He Tiantian...
Does she deserve it?
He Mingming didn't find Han Jisong in Class 1 and heard that He Tiantian had also asked for leave. She packed her schoolbag angrily and went home. She saw her parents had just returned from working in the fields, their feet covered with smelly mud.
Think about Hu Qiongfang again. Ever since her daughter was adopted by the He family, she has become a big boss and the president of the local chamber of commerce.
If she had been adopted by He Xiangjun, her parents might have become big bosses by now, and she would be like Jiang Tian, wearing expensive fashion imported from the south, living in a big villa on the provincial road, and having a handsome and wealthy fiancé like Han Jisong...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He Mingming dropped his schoolbag, turned around and ran to his second cousin's house.
Judging from the time, my second cousin should be escorting the car back in the next two days.
He Mingming decided that she couldn't just sit there and wait for Jiang Tian to really marry Han Jisong. By then, everything would be too late.
The second cousin has been the smartest and most intelligent one in the family since he was young. He Mingming decided to have a good talk with him this time.
If only my second cousin had a way to get Grandpa and Grandma He to drive away Jiang Tian, the outsider, and adopt her to Uncle Xiang Jun.
By then, she would become He Xiangjun's daughter. Even in order to continue maintaining the relationship with He Xiangjun's old comrades, Han Jisong had to be with her and dump Jiang Tian.
Han Jisong just hasn't had the chance to feel how good she is. As long as they get along, he will definitely find that she, He Mingming, is more suitable to be his good wife than Jiang Tian...
He Mingming waited for a while at his great aunt's house, but instead of waiting for his second cousin to come back, he received a few policemen who claimed to be from the county public security bureau to investigate the case!
Wait! Didn’t my second cousin go to another place to transport goods? How did he get involved in “selling illegal goods”?
What illegal items?
