They never thought of getting Tang Yu back. They planned to have their uncle's nephew change his name to Tang Yu, so that they could not only receive subsidies once for all, but also their nephew could get a formal job as a martyr's family member when he was older.
Everything was planned perfectly. I thought these soldiers hadn't come to see Tang Yu for so long and would never come again, but they suddenly came again.
Uncle Tang said sullenly, "If they wait too long and find nothing, they'll naturally leave."
However, he was wrong this time. When it got dark, the soldiers didn't leave. Instead, they came knocking on their door again. The noise was so loud that it alarmed the neighbors on both sides.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Uncle Tang had no choice but to open the door.
Wang Wei deliberately asked loudly, "Why hasn't Xiaoyu come back yet at this late hour? Where is his classmate's house? Let's go pick him up."
Uncle Tang hesitated and couldn't answer.
The neighbor couldn't stand it anymore and said, "I haven't seen Tang Yu for a few days. I thought you took him to the army to play, but it turns out you didn't." The neighbor stared at Tang Liancheng while speaking. Seeing his guilty look, her guess was confirmed. Tang Yu must have been sold by them. This black-hearted couple did what others didn't know, but she knew it very well. Look at how thin Tang Yu has become. He hasn't grown much in the two years since he came to their house. You can imagine what kind of life he has been living.
At this time, the old lady of the Tang family came out of the house. She first glanced at her son and daughter-in-law, and then said, "I sent Yu'er to his cousin's house in the countryside. He won't be back for a few days. What do you want to see Yu'er for?"
Wang Wei raised his eyebrows. "That's not what Comrade Shen said just now. He said Xiaoyu went to a classmate's house to do homework and would be back after dinner. Now you're saying that you sent Xiaoyu to your cousin's house in the countryside. Who of you is telling the truth?"
The old lady glared at her eldest son and said, "There's nothing real or fake about this. Liancheng wasn't home when I sent Xiaoyu away. He didn't know about this and thought Xiaoyu was doing homework at a classmate's house as usual."
The aunt next door interrupted and said, "That's not right. Xiaoyu has never done homework at any classmate's house before. Whose classmate are you talking about?"
Old Madam Tang immediately glared at the aunt next door, "You're meddling in other people's business! You need to tell me whether Xiaoyu went to her classmate's house or not? Who do you think you are?"
The aunt next door also got angry. "Who do you think I am? I think you are lying. Xiaoyu didn't go to her cousin's house in the countryside at all, right? I haven't seen you go out these days. Did you send the child there in your dream?" After saying that, she looked at Wang Wei and the others and said, "Comrade, Xiaoyu is a pitiful child. She has never had a good life in her family. If you really care about this young child left by Lianshan, you should take the child away as soon as possible. The child is already eleven years old, but he is not even as tall as my nine-year-old child, and he is as thin as a cat. If he continues like this, it is doubtful whether he can grow up."
"You're talking nonsense! If you dare to say that again, I'll tear your mouth off. My Yu'er is not strong because he's not strong. All the food in the house is given to him. He's never allowed to do any work. How can I be unkind to him?"
"You know clearly whether you treat him right or wrong. Others may not know, but we live just across the wall from each other, so I know everything. You should act with conscience. Lianshan and his wife were very kind to your grandparents and your eldest uncle's family before. How long has Lianshan been gone? You're abusing his children like this, and you're not afraid of being struck by lightning."
Wang Wei intervened at the right moment, "Aunts, please stop arguing and listen to me."
The aunt next door fell silent, but Tang Yu's grandmother continued to curse. Wang Wei ignored her and asked Tang Liancheng, "Since your mother said she sent Xiaoyu to her cousin's house in the countryside, then tell us the address of Xiaoyu's cousin's house. I'll go find him now."
Tang Liancheng felt a cold sweat on his back, his whole body was shivering, and he stammered, "Well, that, Xiaoyu is very, very sick now, you should not bother him."
Wang Wei's face turned cold. "We came here on behalf of the organization to visit the martyr's family. Now they're nowhere to be found, and you can't explain why. Can I assume that you've sold them out?"
