Following the directions given by the old woman, they finally saw the production team's office.
When she reached the door, she knocked and said, "Hello, Comrade."
Raising his head from the documents, Comrade Han stood up, walked to them, and said, "Hello, Comrade. Please come in."
After they entered the office, Comrade Han gestured for them to take a seat. He poured a cup of water for them and asked, "Comrade, may I ask who you are and what brings you to Xie Village?"
Wei Zhiying drank some water before she replied, "Comrade, my name is Wei Zhiying, and these are my sons, Chen Mingze and Chen Yuze. We are from the capital and have come here to visit my husband's family."
When he heard this, Comrade Han said, "Comrade Wei, my name is Han Jinhe. I wonder, which Chen family is Comrade Wei referring to?"
"Comrade Han, my husband's name is Chen Bo. We are looking for his brothers, named Chen Gang and Chen Xiang."
The moment he heard this, Han Jinhe was taken aback. The matter regarding Chen Bo, Gao Shun, and Gou Dan was known by everyone in the brigade. They had all heard that he married another woman in the capital and lied about his family's situation.
They thought that since he had scammed the marriage, his marriage with his second wife would be annulled. Unexpectedly, his second wife brought her sons and came to acknowledge the relatives.
If this matter became known to the Gao family, there would be a lot of trouble soon. As for how the Chen family would treat this mother and her sons, it was still hard to guess.
After all, what Chen Bo did back then was unfilial and unjust. He had cut off the relationship just because he was unwilling to be dragged down by his brothers while Gou Dan killed his grandfather. Now, his wife came to ask for help—it would be normal for them to refuse.
Noticing his hesitation, Wei Zhiying asked, "Comrade Han, is there a problem?"
"Comrade Chen and his family are working at this time. So, I don't know if it's a good time to disturb them," Han Jinhe replied.
When they came here, Wei Zhiying had noticed that the villagers and educated youths were planting the fields. During harvest and planting seasons, time was crucial.
So, it was indeed not a good time to bother them. But they had traveled for two days and one night and felt tired. If they could settle down, it would be best.
After she considered the pros and cons, she said, "Comrade Han, I know it's not the best timing, but I still hope to meet with my brother-in-law and his family."
Since she had said so, Han Jinhe could only nod and say, "Then, please follow me."
Before leaving the office, he locked the door and walked with them. Forty minutes later, they reached the area where the Chen family was working.
