When Chen Peng said this, he burst into tears. "If I had known that something would happen to my father after I left, I would have carried him away even if I had to. No, I wouldn't have done it no matter how much money I was offered. I would have stayed at home to accompany him."
Chen Peng's cries silenced everyone in the office. No one could comfort Chen Peng when he suddenly lost his father.
This was an unexpected disaster for Chen Peng.
One could tell if a person was truly sad from their cries and words of guilt.
Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and patted Chen Peng's shoulder gently as a form of consolation between men. He then asked, "Did you often accept jobs from other counties?"
"No, I was born and raised in the countryside. How could I have the chance to know people from other counties?" Chen Peng raised his hand to wipe his tears and shook his head. "This time, I received this big job because my old neighbor recommended me. His family is rich, so naturally, they know rich people. The boss is a friend of the old neighbor. The old neighbor happened to know that the boss was looking for a reliable carpenter to make furniture for his daughter's dowry, so the old neighbor thought of our family and introduced me to the boss."
Because of Carpenter Chen's good craftsmanship, many rich people in the county and town used to look for Carpenter Chen and his son to do jobs. However, after the county's shopping malls opened, furniture stores and furniture factories started to open. Craftsmen like them could only accept fewer jobs from the bosses in the county.
All these years, the jobs they accepted were mostly from people in the village and town they were familiar with.
"Old neighbor?" Lu Xingzhi thought of Carpenter Chen's house. It was a house that had been empty for a long time. He then asked, "Is it the house next to yours in the village?"
"Yes, in our village and even in the entire town, their family is the richest. Their whole family moved to the county to live in a big house. However, they are good people and have become rich. I didn't expect them to still remember their old neighbor and childhood playmate." Chen Peng was an honest man. Even at this time, he was grateful that his old neighbor, who had become rich, still remembered him.
"What's his name?" Lu Xingzhi asked quickly. Chen Peng had received the job at the right time, so Lu Xingzhi could not help but be suspicious.
"His name is Chen Tangzhu, Uncle Chen's only son." Chen Peng replied, "Dazhu is a very good person. He has been smart since he was a child and learned everything quickly. When he was a child, his teacher liked him very much. When he grew up, he was very promising. After he graduated from high school, he went abroad to study and met his current wife. Not long ago, I think he came back more than half a year ago.
"Chen Tangzhu? The stolen van belongs to Chen Tangzhu's family. " The police officer who brought Chen Peng over suddenly said, "That van was used by Chen Tangzhu's factory to deliver goods. What a coincidence. Their van was stolen that day, and it was Chen Tangzhu who came to the police station to report it."
There were not many rich people in Luan County. The small county was not big to begin with. Just like the Lu Family's hometown in the county, those who had some money would more or less have some reputation in the county.
