Not only was Mo Xuan confused, but the Shen family was also confused.
“Those people are not like the villagers who are easy to deal with. The villagers would at most think you are not mentally sound if they saw you call me mother. But those people are old foxes. Are you foolish? They will know at a glance,” Shen Yao said to Mo Xuan. Moreover, Mo Xuan had appeared out of nowhere, and was a "black household" here, unable to withstand an investigation.
“Then what does mother mean?” Mo Xuan looked at Shen Yao, afraid of hearing her tell him to leave.
“What are you thinking! Those people must have thoroughly investigated our family’s situation. The most urgent task is to get you legal identification.” Shen Yao said. They had their family’s information, but it was only a literal description. They definitely didn't know the actual situation.
“Then we can’t get Mo Xuan’s identity information either,” Father Shen said. They were just ordinary people. If they had the ability, they would have gotten Mo Xuan’s identity information long ago.
“Perhaps someone has a way,” Shen Huaijin said.
“Who?”
“Little Jun’s uncle, Mo Chen!”
///
As it turned out, Shen Huaijin was right. Shen Yao called Luo Yunping that evening to get Mo Chen’s phone number and immediately called him. When Mo Chen received Shen Yao’s call, he was a little disbelieving, but then he thought that she must want him to help with something. Hearing that Shen Yao wanted him to help Mo Xuan get an identity, he agreed without a second word, without asking any questions. Shen Yao was surprised by Mo Chen’s straightforwardness, but then she thought that perhaps he was grateful to her for saving Little Jun, which was why he was willing to help.
“Tell me how much money it will cost, and I’ll pay.” Shen Yao knew that it would cost a lot of money to get an identity that could withstand scrutiny. The most crucial thing was having the right connections.
“No need for money. If you feel indebted, just bring me two more Peace Talismans as gifts for the elders.” Mo Chen originally wanted to say no money was needed and he would help, but he felt Shen Yao might overthink it if he did. Shen Yao heard this and said it was no problem, as making Peace Talismans was not difficult for her.
“Alright, tomorrow, I’ll have someone deliver the things to you.” Mo Chen’s efficiency was very fast. By the afternoon of the next day, Mo Xuan’s ID card and identity information were all sent to Shen Yao. Shen Yao immediately felt that the saying “money makes the mare go” was indeed true. Shen Yao, holding Mo Xuan’s ID card and identity information, suddenly felt that she had thanked him too early.
Name: Zhao Tiezhu
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: May 28, xxxx
Detailed Information: Sanli Gou Village, Shuanghe Town, Lingbei County, G Province. Junior high education. Orphaned from a young age, his grandfather also passed away after he finished junior high, leaving him an orphan. Due to suffocation at birth, his mind was not sharp. He dropped out of school after junior high and lived on relief from villagers. After stealing from a neighbor and being beaten up, he began to wander around. The photo on the ID card was Mo Xuan’s face, but he was a bit plumper than he was now, though he could still be recognized as Mo Xuan. His hair was very short, and most importantly, his face was dark, clearly deliberately treated. The information on the ID card was outdated and appeared very old.
Shen Yao: …
Mo Xuan would cry if he saw this information! However, Shen Yao threw the ID card away after looking at it, because they had also specially made an expired ID card. It was indeed very thoughtful, as how could a person with mental issues who wandered around have an ID card on them? Mo Chen had said that this information was real, but the wandering person had disappeared during his travels. That person had left the village a long time ago and was always dirty, so even the villagers could not clearly remember the person’s appearance. Shen Yao could only say that she would bring Mo Xuan to that place to reapply for an ID card later, and the name could be changed then. Shen Yao also felt she couldn’t face the name Zhao Tiezhu, as it was too, too unappealing by current standards. Mo Xuan never imagined that he would one day have a former alias named Zhao Tiezhu. At this moment, Mo Xuan, no, Zhao Tiezhu, was diligently holding the prescription sheet Shen Yao gave him, desperately classifying and replacing. Replacing things that didn't exist in this world with medicinal materials with similar effects in this world. He was currently holding the Bencao Gangmu in one hand and Shen Nong Bencao Jing in the other, writing with great effort. Shen Yao, on the other hand, was taking the prescription sheet organized by Mo Xuan, then screening and binding it. Soon, an ancient book appeared in Shen Yao’s hands. As for making it look old, Mo Xuan was very adept at this. After all, he had used this skill to deceive countless cultivators back then, otherwise, he wouldn't have been chased by half the cultivation world. Shen Yao, holding the freshly made "antique," handed the identity information Mo Chen had gotten for him, “Take a good look, Zhao Tiezhu.” With that, she left with Mo Xuan looking bewildered. Mo Xuan held the paper, and after seeing the content, his face turned dark, “You’re the damn Zhao Tiezhu!!!”
…
As expected, on the third day, guests arrived at the Shen family. At this time, only Shen Yao, Shen’s mother, and the little chubby were at home. When Shen’s mother opened the door, she saw five men in plain clothes standing straight at the door. “Excuse me, is this the home of Comrade Shen Haisang? We’ve come to visit the military dependents.” The man with glasses standing closest, Wan Cheng, Xu Weiguo’s secretary, said. Shen’s mother remembered and opened the door, letting them in. Xu Weiguo and the others were welcomed into the house by Shen’s mother. After seating them, she said, “I’ll go call Third Brother and Haisang’s father back.” After Shen’s mother finished speaking, she asked Shen Yao to make tea for the guests, and even took the little chubby away. This was what Shen Yao had asked them to do, and it was also why no one from the Shen family was present. Shen Yao placed the tea in front of everyone and sat directly opposite them. At this time, Shen Yao showed no kindness towards her family and friends, exuding a terrifying aura of a superior. Compared to everyone present, Shen Yao knew better than them how to be a superior. “My third brother has told me about your matters. Now, tell me what your thoughts are.” Shen Yao leaned back lazily on the sofa, completely unafraid of the people in front of her. Xu Weiguo and the others were indeed shocked by Shen Yao’s imposing aura. However, they had strong psychological fortitude and quickly reacted, not expecting that a peasant family could raise such outstanding children. Their son had become an indispensable part of the team, and they didn't expect their daughter to be even more so. “Little Comrade Shen, hello, I am Shen Haisang’s leader, Xu Weiguo.”
