Chapter 49: Execution Bang, one fell. Bang, another fell...

Yao Jingjing gave birth.

Still a son.

Duan Cheng had already taken the child away. Before leaving, he met with Yao Erdan and Wang Fang alone.

The two old beasts knew that as long as Yao Jingjing's two children were around, Duan Cheng would be entangled with Yao Jingjing for the rest of his life, and Yao Genbao was the children's only uncle. If they had a hard time in the future, Duan Cheng would have to help them out for the sake of the children, right?

Their calculations were very good, but unfortunately Duan Cheng's father retired due to illness, so his connections and status were naturally not as good as before.

In order to allow the two grandchildren to grow up in a decent manner, and for Yao Genbao, who was far away in the Northeast, to have enough food and clothing, they proposed a trade condition:

Tell Yao Jingzong where the other daughter who was sold is, and let Yao Zhizhi report the case to gain merit. At the same time, Yao Jingzong needs to recognize the two children as his grandchildren.

This is why Yao Jingzong was angry.

After Yao Zhizhi asked the reason, she suddenly laughed.

Yao Jingzong didn't understand: "Girl, what are you laughing at?"

Of course Yao Zhizhi wanted to laugh. At this moment, she was absolutely certain that those two dogs really were bad boys and that her father was too upright.

He advised, "Dad, you can't be a gentleman when dealing with villains. If I were you, I would agree to them. They're going to die soon anyway. Will they know whether I acknowledge Duan Cheng's child as my grandson or not? Besides, even if I acknowledge him, as long as I keep it quiet, who will know? The child's last name is Duan, not Yao. The worst that can happen is that Yao Jingjing will make a few noises after she's released from prison. However, she's a nasty woman who's been in jail repeatedly for crimes. How many people will believe her lies? As for Duan Cheng, he wouldn't be so shameless. The fact that he left that letter for Yao Jingjing shows that he's not a bad person by nature. He was just deceived and used by Yao Jingjing. Would such a man disregard your feelings and bring two children to you? Impossible."

That makes sense, but Yao Jingzong is an upright old soldier, and it would be uncomfortable for him to lie.

Yao Zhizhi comforted her, "It's okay, let my mom go. Just say you have something to do in the army and are going back."

Yao Jingzong was silent for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

As long as he is not the one lying, he can pretend not to know.

Xie Chunxing soon returned from a visit to the prison and brought two pieces of news.

One is the family that bought the child, and they have specific contact information.

The other was that two death row prisoners agreed to meet Yao Zhizhi.

Yao Zhizhi quickly packed up and prepared to leave.

When I arrived at the entrance of the alley, I saw Yao Taotao who had been waiting there since early morning.

When their eyes met, Yao Taotao still walked over and took Yao Zhizhi's arm: "I'll go with you."

Yao Zhizhi pulled her arm back, and Yao Taotao didn't force it, but just followed quietly one step behind.

When they arrived at the place, Yao Zhizhi first went to meet Yao Erdan. This man was the root of the whole tragedy. After all, this was a patriarchal society, and he was the so-called head of the family.

If he was unwilling to sell his daughter, she didn't believe Wang Fang would have the courage to do anything.

What's more, Wang Fang actually obeyed his orders. When she was showing off to her daughters, she would immediately stop as long as Yao Erdan said a word.

The so-called husband is the heaven is like Wang Fang.

Therefore, Yao Erdan is the real culprit, and Wang Fang is at most an accomplice, an accomplice who has forgotten that she is also a woman and unconditionally obeys men and ugly social values.

It is not difficult to kill the accomplices, just kill the culprit they depend on.

The culprit is the one who is truly difficult to kill.

They are vested interests. They will take advantage of social rules, pretend to be good people, and manipulate their minions to fight for them and gain benefits.

It’s disgusting just thinking about it.

Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but feel fortunate that her parents were not like that, otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to recognize her.

She looked at Yao Erdan, who had a dead look on his face, and asked a question.

Yao Erdan looked up at her blankly. "Regret? Yes, I do regret it. I should have just killed you and put an end to it all."

Yao Zhizhi stood up with a sneer: "What a pity, you can't kill me. And you will die the day after tomorrow."

This sentence hurt Yao Erdan. He suddenly stood up, looking crazy, and shouted, "Why are you killing me? I am selling my own daughter, my own daughter. They are all money-losing goods. I just sell them. What's the problem?"

Yao Zhizhi looked at his final madness expressionlessly and thanked the death penalty again.

Thank goodness there is justice in this world.

And Yao Taotao was also grateful at this moment. It would be better for such parents to die.

Turning around, she followed Yao Zhizhi to the women's prison to take a look at Wang Fang.

This accomplice finally showed a little regret in the last moments of his life.

Did she regret it? Yes, she did. She regretted marrying Yao Erdan.

She cried, laughed, and told Yao Zhizhi a story like crazy: "Did you know? Your father didn't want to marry your mother at first."

Yao Zhizhi really didn’t know, but what did this have to do with Wang Fang?

Yao Zhizhi waited calmly.

Wang Fang had her hair cut short. She lowered her head while crying, and trembled like a black hedgehog.

The sound leaked out from between her fingers covering her cheeks——

"Your mother is the youngest in the family, with two older brothers and four older sisters.

Your eldest aunt was a comrade-in-arms of your father. Seeing that your father was handsome and steady in his work, she introduced your second aunt to your father.

The two families agreed on a date and location for the blind date, and were just waiting for the time to meet. Unexpectedly, your second aunt was unlucky, and before the blind date even arrived, the Japanese invaders came and attacked.

In a panic, your grandmother and her family had no choice but to flee south and took refuge with my family. Unfortunately, your second aunt was not so lucky. She contracted cholera on the way and died at my doorstep. What bad luck.

Your grandfather felt bad about it, so he discussed with my parents and asked me to marry your father when he came to find me.

The elders of both families agreed, but your father disagreed. He fell in love with your mother at first sight.

This is your good mother. She knew that this marriage was prepared by your grandfather to compensate me, but she was so shameless and robbed me of my good life!

I hate her, I will hate her for the rest of my life!

But she was so lucky. She got pregnant as soon as she got married, and gave birth to a big fat boy the following year. She was spoiled by your grandparents like a darling.

What about me? I can only find a poor boy of equal status and stay in the countryside for the rest of my life, regretting the good marriage I missed.

I hate your mother so much, I want to kill her!

I wanted to do it when she came back pregnant with you, but when I thought about giving birth myself, I decided to take a gamble.

Unexpectedly, I won the bet. I gave birth to a daughter before her, just one day, hahahaha.

So, if you want to blame someone, blame your mother. It's her own fault. She's been separated from me for eighteen years, and she raised my daughter for eighteen years. This is all her own fault!"

This was the first time Yao Zhizhi heard this story.

She thought it was ridiculous and retorted, "You know yourself that my second aunt has never met my father, and my father has not agreed to be with her. They just made an appointment to meet. Whether it is suitable or not is another matter. As for the compensation marriage my grandfather gave you, it is even more ridiculous. What do you think of my father? He is a person, not an object for you to repay a favor! He has his own ideas. Why should his marriage be dismissed by a few words from you? Are you worthy? If he had obeyed and married you, I would have looked down on him. As for what you said about my mother stealing your marriage, it is even more nonsense. You and my father have nothing to do with each other. Don't you know whether you are worthy of my father? Is my father engaged to you? It's okay for you to want to eat swan meat, but don't think that everyone is as shameless as you."

Wang Fang looked up suddenly, and fire flashed in her resentful eyes.

She wished she could kill Yao Zhizhi with her own hands, she wished she could kill Xie Chunxing with her own hands, she wished she could kill all of Yao Jingzong's children, she wished she could kill this evil God and start all over again.

She hated it. She hated that she was not as lucky as Xie Chunxing. As soon as she stood in the yard, she was noticed by Yao Jingzong.

She hated Xie Chunxing even more because her first child was a son, and she kept giving birth, giving birth, giving birth...

The ninth child is considered a son.

She suddenly laughed miserably. "Do you think I only gave birth to seven daughters? No, I gave birth to eight! Eight! I drowned the first one as soon as she was born. But I clearly drowned her, so shouldn't I have given birth to sons? Why are there still daughters? I don't understand, I can't stand it! I can only keep giving birth, and giving birth. But why, why are they all daughters? Why not a single son?"

"Yeah, why? Maybe it's because God doesn't want people like you to get what they want. The more you want something, the less you get. This is the retribution for people like you." Yao Zhizhi sneered, took a last look at the crazy woman, and turned away.

The woman who was about to die burst out with resentful curses behind her, screaming and wailing, with a hideous face, like a demon.

Yao Zhizhi, however, just strides forward without looking back.

When she got home, she asked her parents about the past.

Yao Jingzong couldn't help but find it amusing: "Your second aunt and I haven't even met, so there's no question of an engagement. As for me going to look for your grandmother's family, it's simply because your eldest aunt was worried about them before she died. I wanted to let her rest in peace, so I promised her that I would definitely find your grandmother and her family."

"Yes, there is no such thing as an engagement. I didn't even know that the elders of the two families made such a decision in private. Is Wang Fang crazy and imagining it?" Xie Chunxing felt so wronged. Even her second sister was not sure that she would fall in love with Yao Jingzong.

Where does Wang Fang get the nerve to do that?

As for her and Yao Jingzong, they were in a free love relationship. What does it have to do with Wang Fang?

When you're not living a good life, you start dreaming, imagining that it's someone else's fault? Imagining you want to replace someone else's life?

Who is this person?

So disgusting!

Xie Chunxing was so angry that she started crying: "I have never done anything wrong to her. She and Yao Erdan were not doing well, and I gave her money. I didn't expect that she would look at me like this. It was really unfair. I, Xie Chunxing, have always been upright and honest. I don't owe her anything."

Yao Jingzong was heartbroken and quickly hugged her and went to the inner room to comfort her.

The two of them came out quickly. There was nothing they could do. They were an old couple, and Yao Jingzong knew that this woman cared about her face.

We are now at my daughter and son-in-law's house. It would be so embarrassing if my in-laws saw us when they got home from get off work.

I stopped crying immediately.

Yao Zhizhi looked at the two elders with relief. That was great. These two were a perfect match.

No matter how glorious he was in the army, he would be overcome by her tears; no matter how weak and helpless she was, he could quickly stop her tears.

When the right people are together, it's like brine and tofu, one thing conquers another.

She sat at the eight-immortals table, holding her cheeks, looking at the old couple with interest, and couldn't help but become curious about their love story.

Pestle them to talk more.

So much so that during dinner, Xie Chunxing was so embarrassed that she couldn't say a word.

This Yao Jingzong is shameless and not afraid of being laughed at by his relatives.

Yao Jingzong was very happy. After dinner, he called Xie Chunxing and went to the lake with Tang Fengyuan and his wife for a walk and a meal.

Yao Zhizhi was filled with emotion. She held her sister's hand and asked her parents if there were any heartwarming stories from the past.

Yao Miaomiao knew that her sister had never lived at home and would definitely be very curious, so she patiently told her some information.

For example, one time, my father went on a mission and didn’t come back for more than a year. My mother was so worried that she couldn’t sleep at night and cried all day long.

Later, Dad came back safely, and Mom didn't cry, which was rare for her, because she was afraid that Dad must be feeling bad.

Look, this is a true couple who consider each other.

Even if your heart is already filled with grievances as vast as the ocean, you will still restrain yourself.

For example, one time, my mother said something wrong and offended someone. She was worried that my father would come back and scold her, so her eyes turned red the moment she saw my father.

As a result, my father scolded the woman who had quarreled with my mother, and my mother couldn't help but burst into laughter. From then on, she would be more cautious in what she said and did, and was not as naive as before.

So, even tough guys can have tender moments.

Their parents are one strong and one gentle, a perfect match.

Yao Zhizhi suddenly became curious. What about her and Qi Changxiao? Were they also one strong and one gentle?

Well... probably, but it's the other way around. She is tougher, while he is sickly and looks softer.

In fact, he is quite tough at heart, as can be seen from his attitude towards the Qi family members.

But he was gentle in front of her and was willing to follow her ideas, and that was enough.

Soon, her parents and in-laws came back. Yao Zhizhi called Qi Changxiao and sent them to the yard they had bought to spend the night.

Before leaving, Yao Zhizhi left the key behind: "Dad, Mom, I specially made a few extra keys. These two are yours. This one is for my second sister, and this one is for my eldest brother and his wife. Please help me bring them to them."

Yao Jingzong took the key and was worried that his daughter and son-in-law were short of money, so he planned to send some money after returning.

After closing the door, he discussed with Xie Chunxing: "How much savings do we have at home?"

"There's still quite a bit." Xie Chunxing knew what he was going to do and quickly counted on her fingers. "It should be enough. When Yao Jingjing was around, our expenses were quite high, so we only saved about fifty dollars a month. In the past two years since she's been gone, I can save about one hundred and sixty dollars a month."

Oh, when I do the math, my daughter has lost a lot.

Xie Chunxing was extremely depressed. "I didn't think so before, but now I think about it, Yao Jingjing asks for so much money every month, isn't it just to send it back to Yao Erdan and the others?"

"Is that even a question? She has a lot of expenses of her own, and she's still playing all sorts of tricks. Humph!" Yao Jingzong sighed. "Since my savings are sufficient, I'll just send it all to my daughter. I'm worried about them owing so much foreign debt. What if one day their manuscript doesn't get approved? Wouldn't that mean they're in dire straits?"

"Okay, I'll transfer the money when I get back. But... what if she doesn't want it?" Xie Chunxing was a little worried. Her daughter was a strong-willed person, and she was afraid that the child would not want her parents to pay.

Yao Jingzong thought for a moment and said, "Then send the money to Wei Hua. Let Wei Hua withdraw the money and find a way to persuade his sister to go."

"Okay. But do the other three have any objections to this?"

"What's your opinion? Have they had less food and drink or less clothes and other things these years? Besides, those who covet their parents' money are not good people. I don't believe that my child, Yao Jingzong, is so useless."

Yao Miaomiao, who was outside, heard this and couldn't help laughing. "That's right, Mom, you don't have to worry. We have our own hands and feet, so why would we argue with my sister about this? Besides, didn't my sister buy the house thinking of us and gave us the key? Family members can't be so calculating. Helping each other is the best thing."

Xie Chunxing breathed a sigh of relief. That’s good.

The next day, the family gathered in the courtyard again.

After lunch, I prepared to take Little Star to the park to play in the afternoon.

When I got there, I saw Yang Shuming sitting on a park bench smoking with one of his arms hanging.

Yao Miaomiao's eyes tightened, and she walked over and asked, "Captain Yang, are you injured?"

"Ah, yes." Yang Shuming quickly got up and greeted several elders.

Yao Jingzong patted his uninjured shoulder and said, "Take good care of yourself. Is there anyone else on the team who can take over?"

"Yes." Yang Shuming smiled. It was common for criminal police to get injured.

He was lucky enough that only his left arm was injured, which did not affect his ability to hold the gun.

Fortunately, the vagrant criminal was caught and his suffering was not in vain.

Yao Jingzong said a few more words of comfort. As he was speaking, Xiao Xingxing came running from behind with his chubby legs twisting, pounced in front of Yang Shuming, and sat down on his feet.

This kid is very unwilling to admit defeat. It's okay to fall down, he can just get up again.

So he stood up again by pulling Yang Shuming's trouser leg, glanced at his uncle who was chasing him, and continued to run forward.

Not only did she not cry during the whole process, she even giggled and was very happy.

Yang Shuming chased the child with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but praise him, "You're worthy of being Commander Yao's offspring. You didn't cry even when you fell. Well done."

"Did you cry when you were hurt?" Yao Miaomiao asked calmly and concernedly.

Yang Shuming turned around and smiled: "No."

"You're great too." Yao Miaomiao patted his shoulder and turned to chase after him.

Yang Shuming lowered his eyelids and looked away.

Yao Jingzong could see that the two young people were interested in each other, but they were just hampered by reality...

In short, he did not object or interfere, and just left it to them.

However, seeing a frontline police officer injured, I couldn't help but think of my own painful experience when I was on duty, so I sat down and gave him a few more words of advice.

Soldiers and police officers cannot be equated, but both professions involve risking their lives.

As someone who has been through it all, he would naturally sympathize with the frustrated young people, and they actually had a very pleasant conversation.

The more this happened, the more regretful Yao Jingzong felt. It was such a pity that his second daughter met the right person at the wrong time.

Raindrops soon fell from the sky. Yao Jingzong stood up and said, "Go back. Your wound cannot be exposed to the rain."

"Goodbye, Chief Yao." Yang Shuming still took care of his health. Before leaving, he glanced in the direction where the laughter came from and left silently.

They were also preparing to go back. On the bus, Yao Jingzong asked Yao Miaomiao, "How are things going between you and Xiao Zhou?"

"It's nothing, let's just try to get in touch first." Yao Miaomiao smiled. She knew what her father wanted to say and reluctantly reminded him, "You forgot, Yang Shuming said it himself, to be brother and sister."

"Yeah." I haven't forgotten. My father hasn't suffered from Alzheimer's disease yet. I just feel it's a pity.

At ten o'clock in the morning on May 1st, Yao Erdan and Wang Fang had their last lunch.

The death penalty these days is still execution by shooting.

With death approaching, these heartless beasts panicked. They chewed their food slowly, deliberately delaying and wasting time.

When the prison guards took away the food trays, the two men collapsed on the floor in their respective cells at the same time.

Yao Erdan peed his pants.

At least Wang Fang didn't pee.

In the end, the two men were so weak that they had no strength to walk, so they were dragged away by the prison guards and handed over to the bailiffs.

The two men knelt down with their backs to the bailiff, unable to even kneel straight, and howled loudly, "I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again."

But what’s the use?

Drowned the first daughter.

Sold the second and third daughters.

He secretly swapped his little daughter and sold her to a kind expert who passed by.

All these things are enough to kill them many times.

The bailiff was ruthless and pulled the two men to their knees.

The bullets were loaded and the gunshots rang out——

Bang, one fell down.

Bang, another one fell down.

The bailiff took the gun and had his colleague check it.

Both were hit in the back of the head and died instantly.

Yao Zhizhi stood on the train platform and hugged her parents and sister tightly: "When I have time, I will go to the Northeast to see you."

"Let's go back. It's raining." Yao Jingzong's eyes were red. He gently pushed his daughter away and pressed her into his son-in-law's arms. He turned and got into the car, looking back every few steps. "Let's go back. When Dad retires, he will move in with you."

"Really!" Yao Zhizhi was extremely surprised and immediately pushed Qi Changxiao away and chased to the train door.

Yao Jingzong stroked his daughter's hair lovingly: "Really, Dad is a soldier, and his promise is worth a thousand gold!"

"Pink pinky!" Yao Zhizhi was so happy. Even though she was already a mother, she still had to be childish for once.

In front of her parents, she is always a child and has the capital to be willful.

What's more, these are my biological parents, my biological parents.

Yao Jingzong solemnly made a pinky promise: "Come back, my girl. It's raining, and Changxiao isn't fully recovered yet. Don't get wet."

"Well, goodbye, Dad. Tell my mom to cry less, as her eyesight will get damaged easily when she gets old." Yao Zhizhi waved vigorously.

"I know." The car door closed, Yao Jingzong leaned in front of the car window and waved with tears in his eyes.

Whether my eyes are damaged or not, it doesn’t matter this time.

The old couple returned to Northeast China and immediately sent a huge sum of money to their daughter.

Of course, the payee was Yao Weihua, and the remittance message read: This is the money your parents gave to your sister to buy a house. I entrust you to transfer it on my behalf. Please call me back after confirmation. Please remember.

Yao Weihua smiled. They were truly his parents. Knowing that his younger sister was stubborn and refused to accept the money, he had no choice but to remit it to him.

When he got home, he didn't see his younger sister, so he asked about her.

Qi Changxiao replied, "Zhizhi went to see Captain Yang. I'm not sure if the clue Wang Fang gave me is true. I'll go over and ask about the result."

So that's how it was. He quickly showed the remittance slip to Qi Changxiao: "Come, let's discuss how we can get Zhizhi to accept the money."

*

Northeast, retirement home.

Political Commissar Duan held his hungry grandson in his arms, anxiously waiting for something.

After a while, Meihong finally brought back a woman who had just given birth.

The woman's family was poor, but out of necessity, she was willing to come and breastfeed Political Commissar Duan's grandson. The Duan family would provide three meals a day, and give her thirty yuan a month. She could also bring her own child and raise them together.

At this moment, I am holding a child in my arms, also a little boy, very fair and clean.

Mei Hong herself found it incredible and asked, "Old Duan, do you think this woman looks like the child's mother?"
