Chapter 172 New Book Plot 4
Jiang Shugen decided to go home.
So he made preparations, put on the money that had been hidden and not found by those people, and secretly left the village where he had lived for more than ten years one morning.
Because he had not been out for so many years and only remembered the name of his hometown county but not the name of the provincial city, his journey home was not easy. In addition, he had no money and no letter of introduction, so the journey was extremely difficult.
As a migrant worker, Jiang Shugen could only hide during the day and sneak away at night. When he had no money, he would work to earn money. When he couldn't find a job, he would beg for food. When he was hungry, he ate wild grass on the roadside and snatched moldy steamed buns from wild dogs.
It took him three years to walk and after going through untold hardships, he finally found Chemu County.
At this time, he was clearly still a young man in his early twenties, but he looked like a middle-aged beggar in his thirties or forties.
Over the years, he wanted to give up countless times, but the belief in going home always supported him and kept him going.
Hard work pays off, and finally, he found the county town where he had lived for six years.
Then, relying on his vague memory and asking people in almost half of the county, he finally found his childhood home.
Unexpectedly, what greeted him was not his parents' expectations, nor familiar faces, but rather everything and everyone had changed.
His house had long been taken over by the neighborhood office, and someone else had moved in. This family didn't even know his father!
In a panic, he asked his neighbors and finally found someone who knew his father Jiang Dahe, but he didn't expect to get a piece of news that made him devastate.
It turned out that his father died in the first year of his disappearance.
Died on the way to find him.
We don't know exactly how he died, but we know that his family has been asking for news about him ever since he went missing.
That day, my father got the news about human traffickers from somewhere and asked for leave. Unexpectedly, he never came back.
The next news we got was when the police came and said they found him in the river, and he had been dead for many days.
It remains an unsolved case.
When his family found out, it was like a bolt from the blue.
The mother fainted immediately and was confused when she woke up.
Her son was lost and her husband died. This series of blows caused her mental problems and she went crazy.
From then on, there was a madman in Chemu County. Every day, she would stop people on the street and ask if they had seen her son.
Later, she ran to the train station without looking at the road and fell off the tracks and was crushed to death.
His grandparents couldn't bear the blow and fell ill one after another. But at this time, his second uncle also encountered a fire while working overtime in the factory and died while trying to save the factory's property.
The grandparents experienced the blow of losing their sons one after another, but they couldn't fall down. They could only grit their teeth and stand up to handle the funeral of their second son.
A few years later, my second aunt remarried, and from then on my grandparents were left to live with my cousin.
The old couple worked hard to raise my cousin with the compensation money from my second uncle, and when they felt their health could not hold on any longer, they married her off.
Just one month after my cousin got married, my grandparents finally couldn't bear it and passed away one after another.
After my cousin got married, she first gave birth to a daughter. Then she became pregnant again last year, but this time she died of a difficult labor.
After my cousin's husband's family dealt with her funeral, they found him a new wife, but the new wife didn't want the child left by his ex-wife.
Because she was a girl, my cousin's husband didn't want her either. When Jiang Shugen came back, they had already given her away...
