Lin Zhengran nodded and smiled, "It's not easy for you to come all the way to Jiangyuan. We should treat you well and let you stay at home for a few more days."
Lin Nanfeng was so angry when he saw Qiu Yinghong in front.
She thought to herself: Even if my mother brought dragon meat, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to eat it now.
I didn’t expect Uncle Qin to be so popular that people even wanted to take him home!
Just as she was thinking, a gust of wind blew from behind, startling Lin Nanfeng so much that she stood up immediately, and then she fell into someone's arms.
"——Sister-in-law——you are finally back——"
The word "sister-in-law" made Lin Nanfeng turn his head woodenly.
She has become a sister-in-law? ?
A woman with disheveled hair and a foul smell on her body hugged Lin Nanfeng tightly, calling her sister-in-law and crying very pitifully.
Duobao tried to pull her away and asked her to let go of her sister, but she kicked him away.
"——Sister-in-law! If you don't come back, my brother won't be able to protect him. He's going to run away with the little goblin. I can't stop him. The little goblin is too fierce. I can't stop him——"
Everyone present was silent because of Qin Xiaomei's appearance.
Lin Zhengran realized that something was wrong with Qin Xiaomei just by hearing a few words from her.
"What happened to my little sister?" Lin Zhengran couldn't believe what he saw.
How could a good person suddenly become abnormal?
Qiu Yinghong curled her lips at Qin Xiaomei. What does this lunatic want to do?
Qin Shouguo saw that his sister looked unhappy and knew that this was not the place to talk.
Lin Zhengran stepped forward in a daze. She reached out to touch Qin Xiaomei, but she was pushed away. Qin Xiaomei even yelled at her, and said excitedly to the person in her arms:
"Look, sister-in-law, there's another little devil at home. I couldn't beat one, and now there are two. I'm so useless, so useless."
After saying this, Qin Xiaomei hugged Lin Nanfeng and cried loudly.
Sometimes he felt useless, and sometimes he asked his sister-in-law why she came back. She said she shouldn't have come back, because Uncle Jiang would sell her out.
As soon as she said that, Lin Nanfeng knew who she was. It must be the Qin Xiaomei his mother mentioned.
Just when everyone was distracted, Qin Xiaomei pulled Lin Nanfeng and ran out the door.
Lin Zhengran raised her foot to chase after him, but Qin Shouguo held her back and shook his head at her.
Duobao didn't care and chased after her while shouting, "Let my sister go."
When Lin Nanfeng saw Duobao following out, she asked Qin Xiaomei to wait. She thought Qin Xiaomei didn't understand, but she didn't expect her to stop.
The three people disappeared from Lin Zhengran's sight, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Qin Shouguo said "do as you please" to the aunt and niece and pulled her back to the room.
Aunt Qiu Yinghong felt that the relationship with her nephew was boring, and she felt a little unwilling to accept Qin Shouguo.
I came all the way from Dongcheng to Jiangyuan, and you can just send me away with a few words? Thinking of this, I simply followed Qin Shouguo's advice and stayed.
Lin Zhengran took the initiative to ask in the room: "What happened to my little sister?"
Speaking of his younger sister, Qin Shouguo's sadness was no less than Lin Zhengran's.
"It's my fault. I came back late!" Qin Shouguo said the same thing.
"You know, before I went to the army, I left my younger sister in the care of the village chief. I promised to send them five yuan a month."
Lin Zhengran nodded. "The village chief is kind. He treated me well after you left. Later, when you disappeared and didn't send them any money, they treated me the same way. At least they treated me well before I left."
Although the village chief's wife is a bit overbearing and difficult to get along with, my younger sister lives a much better life than her.
At least I'm not starving, so I won't die!
Qin Shouguo clenched his fists and shook his head with a wry smile, "Aran, then you really have the wrong person."
Lin Zhengran frowned and looked at him.
"In 1959, the village chief's wife exchanged my younger sister for a bride in another village. The Chen family abused her to death."
"Soon after marrying into the Chen family, my younger sister gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Then, in 1960, there was a famine and the family had nothing to eat. The Chen family secretly drowned the girls in the river."
Lin Zhengran's eyes widened in horror, unable to believe it. "A living person drowned. Are they still human?"
"They are indeed not human beings, they are animals. No, they are even worse than animals." Qin Shouguo scolded.
"That same year, my younger sister became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter..."
"That child..." Lin Zhengran covered his mouth and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
1960 was a year of famine, and if the baby was a boy, he could still survive.
If it was a girl, you can imagine what would happen.
Because even adults couldn’t survive at that time, let alone a girl?
"I was on guard against them this time, but there are always times when I let my guard down. By the time I came to my senses, that kid..."
Qin Shouguo didn't want to continue talking about this. It was too scary, and those people were too disheartening.
Even though he had fought on the battlefield and killed countless people, he still felt that the Chen family made him feel cold and down his spine.
"What did they do to that child?"
Her intuition told her that those people definitely did not just kill the child.
Qin Shouguo shook his head and didn't want her to know these things, because even he found it hard to digest.
They traded their children for food.
When the younger sister discovered that the child was missing, only a pile of bones was left, and those bones were not from a child who was less than a hundred days old.
My younger sister asked where the child was, but the Chen family refused to tell her. If Li Fei had not arrived later and discovered what they were doing, my younger sister would probably not have survived the day.
"After all that has happened, my younger sister has become disillusioned with that family."
Qin Shouguo said: "She didn't want that beast to get close to her, and she didn't want to have children for the Chen family anymore. Later, the Chen family bullied her and excluded her in secret.
At that time, Li Fei asked her to leave, but she was worried about the child still in Chen's family.
It takes two hours to commute from Chen's home to Leshan Brigade, and Li Fei couldn't visit her all the time. Every time he went to see her, she said she was fine, but in fact, she was just holding on.
"Over time, the hard work, coupled with not having enough to eat, and the mental strain, slowly led to a breakdown!"
Hearing this, Lin Zhengran cried so hard that he almost fainted.
"Are the village chief and his family just going to turn a blind eye? They were the ones who arranged my younger sister's marriage, and my younger sister is in this state now because of them. Can they feel at peace?"
Qin Shouguo wiped her tears with shaking hands. His body felt like it was being stabbed by a knife and he could only gasp for breath in pain.
"I'm useless and have made you suffer all these years."
Lin Zhengran burst into tears and shook her head violently. She had been taking care of him these past few days, and there was not a single part of Qin Shouguo's body that was in good condition.
Either gunshot wounds, knife wounds, or injuries from sharp objects. The scars are all over his body, even on his heels.
Qin Shouguo couldn't even protect himself, so how could he take care of them?
Qin Shouguo said: "Originally, I planned to retire from the army this time, and look for you while taking care of my younger sister. God still favors me. Fortunately, you are still here when I turn back."
Qin Shouguo assured her firmly, "I will never let those who hurt you have an easy life."
