Chapter 346 is out
"What do you think you are doing here? Can you just leave?" Fang Jianyi looked coldly.
Zhang's father and son were speechless and could only go back home.
In the following half month, Zhang and his son asked people to find connections, ran around, spent money, and gave gifts, but in the end, all they got was a reply that the man could be released.
In the end, I could only wait for news at home.
In the past half month, the entrance of the alley, which was once the busiest place, has become quiet. No one dares to sit there idly, and no one is seen chatting about gossip.
Who dares to gossip again? In the past, those who loved to gossip were also very uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling on their bodies, but Aunt Zhang was arrested and has not returned since then, so no one dared to be the first to speak out.
This killing of a chicken to scare the monkeys is really a deterrent!
It was not until half a month later that Aunt Li went out to buy groceries in the morning and saw Zhang's father and son supporting a tightly wrapped person. The three of them were walking in the alley like thieves.
Maybe he didn't expect to meet someone so early in the morning, so the man in the middle hid behind the Zhang father and son.
Aunt Li greeted her and walked a few steps. She felt something was wrong and looked back. Only then did she realize that it was Aunt Zhang who came back.
The people who were full of vigor and vitality in the past are now like quails, without any energy or sheer vitality.
Aunt Li didn't even buy any vegetables and went straight to other friends' homes to report the news.
"What did you say? She's back?"
"I didn't see his face, but I'm sure I wasn't mistaken. He was wearing the same clothes when he left that day, but he's lost a lot of weight." Given the man's evasive look, Aunt Li was sure she wasn't mistaken.
Everyone looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.
"Do you think we should go see her?" Aunt Li asked hesitantly.
Everyone had different reactions. In the past, they were the best gossipers, but after the last incident, they had a falling out with Aunt Zhang. If Aunt Li hadn't brought this news, they would not have thought about this issue.
But the person is back. Even if I don’t go to see her now, I will meet her later, and it will be even more embarrassing then.
But meeting each other seems to be more awkward.
"Let's think about it and talk about it later. Maybe she doesn't want to see us." Someone said, and the others nodded.
Aunt Li felt a little sad when she saw this, and then she remembered that she hadn't bought any vegetables yet, so she left first.
The more I thought about it as I walked on the road, the more uncomfortable I felt. I always felt very uncomfortable in my heart. I felt guilty and regretful. I felt guilty for pointing fingers at Aunt Zhang, and I felt regretful for joining in the gossip.
When Aunt Li saw them again in the evening, she learned that they were not going. After being stunned for a moment, Aunt Li smiled and said nothing.
When there were not many people around at night, Aunt Li knocked on Zhang's door carrying a piece of meat she had bought during the day.
She thought she couldn't get in, but unexpectedly, after seeing her, Zhang's father was stunned for a moment and then let her in.
As soon as she entered the house, she found that the Zhang family's house, which seemed relatively clean last time, was in a mess. Aunt Zhang was not in the house. When Aunt Li heard Zhang's father say that she was in the room, she put down the things in her hands and went into the house to see who was who.
The two used to call each other old sisters, but now it feels like they are in different worlds when they meet each other.
Aunt Zhang's life in the detention center was not easy. It was not that it was difficult for her, but there were a lot of other people imprisoned there, and those people inside were not good people either. Most of them were people who fought and stole things.
She watched helplessly as some people were sent away. She heard that they were not being released but being sent to labor camps. Aunt Zhang didn't understand anything and thought that she would be sent to labor camps as well. In the end, she scared herself and became thinner and thinner. She was clearly less than 50 years old, but when she was released, she looked like a person in her 60s or 70s.
Aunt Zhang sat on the corner of the bed with her head down, and didn't react when she saw someone coming.
"Hongying?" Aunt Li called her in a low voice.
As if she realized that it was not a family member, Aunt Zhang raised her eyes and looked over. When she saw Aunt Li for the first time, she still had no expression, but she didn't know what she was thinking about. Aunt Zhang blinked twice and tears slowly flowed out.
"Why are you here?" Aunt Zhang didn't expect someone to come to see her. Her face suddenly changed and she asked fiercely, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
"I'm sorry about that day." Aunt Li felt very uncomfortable seeing her like this.
I didn't expect her to say that. Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then she put away her fierce expression and became dejected again.
No one knew what the two talked about that night, and no one knew that Aunt Li went to Zhang's house. It was only a few months later that people in the alley knew that Aunt Zhang had returned.
She changed her previous personality and became taciturn. Her favorite thing to do was to work in the yard. It was not until one day when the yard door was not closed tightly and someone saw her, that the news of her return spread.
After the Lin family found out, they never looked for the Zhang family. The two families clearly lived together, but they were more like strangers.
Perhaps time had made people forget this incident. At the entrance of the alley, people began to gather and chat again, but Aunt Zhang was no longer there.
Fang Jianyi also received a package sent by Lin Xia, a big, sturdy package. When he took it home, Fang's family was surprised, fearing that he had received something he shouldn't have. They were about to torture him, but when they found out that Lin Xia was thanking him for Lin Xue's matter, they let Fang Jianyi go.
Lin Xue also accepted Lin's mother's job. She had never done it before, but the factory found a master to teach her. She felt very tired and fulfilled every day, so she had no time to think about the gossip outside.
After all, Lin's mother's job was not passed on to her daughter-in-law, but suddenly passed on to her daughter. This matter would be known once inquired, and it could not be concealed at all.
But with a fulfilling job and family to support her, Lin Xue is not afraid at all, and has no time to pay attention to other people's gossip.
When someone in the factory saw that she got the job, he immediately became interested and came to her to introduce a man to her, but unfortunately Lin Xue had no interest in the matter at all. Since he failed to use any bad intentions, he could only slander her.
Fortunately, the master hired by the factory was an acquaintance of Lin's mother, and the two had a good relationship. Lin Xue only suffered some verbal contempt, but no one made things difficult for her.
It seems that the problems at work can be solved, but there are still some difficult problems at the Lin family.
