70s factory beauty, transform villain cubs to become rich

Chapter 200 Pretending to be disabled

The old woman weakly opened her eyes, and Chen Qing then noticed that her face was sallow and her breathing was rapid.

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

“My pulmonary heart disease worsened last winter, and now I can’t get out of bed,” Xu Zhiqiang said calmly, as if he were talking about the weather. “I used to live in the factory dormitory, but I couldn’t take care of my mother there, so I moved back to the old house.”

Chen Qing asked to see the medical records and medication receipts, then lowered his head to write them down in his notebook before calmly continuing to ask, "Do you have a wife and children?"

Upon hearing the words "wife and children," Xu Zhiqiang's focus wavered, his lips trembled slightly, and his left hand, resting on his knee, clenched into a fist, the veins on the back of his hand bulging: "We were married. When my wife gave birth, both she and her unborn child died."

Chen Qing was taken aback: "I'm sorry."

"It's nothing." Xu Zhiqiang lowered his head.

Tian Mengya covered her mouth with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes. She sniffed, and then the tears fell.

Xu Zhiqiang looked up, at a loss, and said, "It's all in the past."

Tian Mengya nodded emphatically, feeling that God had been too unfair to their heroes.

In the entire cramped little house, the brightest thing was a black and white photograph of him standing next to a tank, smiling broadly.

The most recent item is a certificate for disabled veterans and a third-class merit certificate.

Chen Qing asked, "Do you have any paper?"

Xu Zhiqiang quickly replied, "Yes."

Tian Mengya waved her hands and said, "No need, I can't waste your supplies."

"It hasn't gotten to that point yet."

At least he has a job.

Xu Zhiqiang handed the scrap paper to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing picked up a corner of the paper and gently wiped away Tian Mengya's tears. After wiping away her tears, he continued to inquire about Xu Zhiqiang's salary distribution: "If there is a shortage of medical supplies, we can take advantage of this rare opportunity to apply to the organization."

"No need..." The old woman waved her hand at Chen Qing in a hoarse voice. Her face was like old tree bark, and her eyes were cloudy, but she looked at Chen Qing with kind eyes and gentle eyes.

Chen Qing's eyes welled up with tears, and he lowered his head to take notes: "The organization has a clear understanding of your situation, Comrade Xu. Thank you for your cooperation."

Even after leaving Xu Zhiqiang's house, Tian Mengya continued to cry.

She's really not that pretentious.

But seeing how pitiful they are makes my heart ache.

Chen Qing patted her on the back and headed to the next house. As one incomplete household after another slowly unfolded before Tian Mengya, her tears were almost dried up.

"Don't cry, I'll buy you a soda." Chen Qing saw the supply and marketing cooperative and led her inside.

Tian Mengya refused: "I don't want to!"

Soda is such a luxury.

"Let's go to the next house."

The two were struggling at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative when Chen Qing suddenly saw a familiar figure. According to the information in the file, it seemed to be Zhou Fugui.

Chen Qing subconsciously looked down at Zhou Fugui's legs.

He stiffly moved his left leg out, facing her scrutiny without any attempt to hide it, and even flashed her a set of dark yellow teeth, whistling a few times.

"Comrade, you look a bit unfamiliar."

Chen Qing's brows furrowed suddenly.

Tian Mengya's expression was also not good.

"Want some meat? Uncle has some here. How about I treat you to a meal?" Zhou Fugui stared intently at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing glanced at him fearfully, her eyes welling up with tears. She lowered her head timidly and pulled Tian Mengya away in terror.

Zhou Fugui was itching to see such a beautiful and delicate young girl, and instinctively wanted to chase after her.

Chen Qing kept a close eye on his left leg out of the corner of her eye. She watched as his left toes tiptoed a few times before landing firmly on the ground, as if he had just realized what was happening and quickly returned to his stiff position. Chen Qing's red lips curved slightly.

As expected, it was fake.

She pulled Tian Mengya away temporarily.

Tian Mengya said indignantly, "Why should we leave? Chen Qing, you need to show your domineering side. Just because he's a disabled man doesn't mean we shouldn't scold him!"

"Then let's go to his house." Chen Qing led a bewildered Tian Mengya to find Zhou Fugui.

Through the crack in the door, Chen Qing watched as the man's oily, shiny face gradually approached, his narrowed, fleshy eyes gleaming green, making him look exactly like a pig's head.

Zhou Fugui opened the door and saw the beauty himself had come to his door. His expression became even more perverted. "Oh, you've come to my door in person, so eager."

Chen Qing held up his work badge: "I am Chen Qing, who is here today to be in charge of housing allocation. I'm here to understand your housing needs."

Zhou Fugui's expression changed several times. "So it's Officer Chen. I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner. Welcome, welcome."

As soon as Chen Qing entered the room, he asked him for his disability certificate. The children inside curiously looked at the two unexpected guests.

Zhou Fugui went back into the house to get his disability certificate. Dragging his left leg, he moved dramatically toward the wall, tapping his crutch on the floor with an affected sound.

My cousin said that if anyone comes to investigate, I must make sure I perform well!

Chen Qing's gaze was fixed on the leather shoes he had just taken off. The soles were worn out unusually evenly, whereas for someone who uses crutches regularly, the outer side of the shoe on the healthy side would be worn out particularly badly.

After checking the disability certificate, Chen Qing carefully recorded the living conditions of Zhou Fugui's family.

There were no patches, the whole family was plump, and they had no worries about food or clothing.

Thinking back to what was written in Zhou Fugui's file, I felt only irony.

During machine tool maintenance last year, this employee was injured in an accident while protecting his apprentice. He was struck by a steel plate and suffered a comminuted fracture. His family situation is quite challenging, with a large family of 17 members. He has parents suffering from serious illnesses and an infant as a baby, putting his family under immense financial strain.

Ah!
Write so many words.

That's all nonsense!

Zhou Fugui: "Little clerk, you don't know, do you? My cousin is the head of the finance department at the machinery factory."

"Oh, yes."

Chen Qingtao's eyes sparkled with a shimmering light.

Some people deliberately jump into the pit.

It's really convenient.

The investigation was completed earlier than expected, and Chen Qing left with a resentful Tian Mengya.

Tian Mengya said after walking away, "His yard is so big, it's more than enough for his whole family. His outstanding contribution was protecting his apprentice from injury. The machinery factory has already given a lot of money as compensation, so why does he still need a tenement building?"

Chen Qing made a startling statement: "He was faking his disability to scam the house."

Tian Mengya's pupils dilated in shock: "Pretending! How can he be so bold?"

She didn't doubt the truthfulness of Chen Qing's words, but instead asked, "How do you know he's not disabled?"

Chen Qing looked dazed.

Because she grew up in an orphanage.

You'll know naturally.

Suddenly, the long-forgotten memories rewound. Chen Qing quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "I'm smart, I figured it out by observation."

Tian Mengya looked at her with admiration: "You're amazing."

Chen Qing's eyes curved slightly: "I was lying to you."

"Aaaaah, Chen Qing, you've gone too far!"

The two ran back to the housing management office, and it was almost time for them to get off work.

Seeing that they had finished organizing the data, Chen Qing said, "Tomorrow, Talia and I will be in charge of investigating households in need, while you will investigate the length of service in the workshop."
