Chapter 470 Hongying
"I heard that they came back because something happened at home. Who knows what happened? Where is his son? Doesn't he have several sons?"
"I know, I know. I heard that his youngest son was in jail, and the old lady even sent her grandson to be shot!"
"Is this true? How is it possible? What grandmother would send her own grandson to be shot?"
"Really? I heard about it. Isn't the youngest son of the Liu family in our village working in Beijing? Their factory is right over there. I heard about it. It was said that she disliked her grandson for being disobedient and stealing her things, so she was furious and sent him to the police station. I didn't expect that he was sentenced to death!"
"Oh, is this true? This is really... this is too cruel. After all, he is my grandson. How can it be considered stealing if he takes something from my grandma's house?"
"Who knows? Maybe she wanted to show off, but she went too far..."
"Oh, her son must hate her to death, how many children are there in the family?"
"That one. I heard that their several sons didn't have many children. They had only one grandson among their three sons, and he was beheaded by his own grandmother. Now his family is broken up and his wife is divorced. I heard that they don't even plan to take care of the old couple anymore."
"You don't care about your three sons? I see Mrs. Zhao has a stroke, she looks really pitiful."
"Tsk, why should I feel sorry for her? The old lady is so cruel. She used to favor the youngest son and drove the two older ones out. As a result, the youngest son sold the house because he was not ambitious enough. Now, she has ruined the second son's family. Who will care about him anymore?"
"...Oh, no wonder," the man suddenly said, not knowing what he was thinking of, "I think this is retribution. If they hadn't driven Hongying's child out, maybe they would still have a place to stay. I heard that the child is living a good life now."
"Don't say that. The kid is out of the wolf's den. I heard that he was bullied when he was in the Zhao family. The kid didn't know his past and was very filial at that time. He endured the bullying.
Otherwise, I would say that this couple is getting their comeuppance. They accepted Hongying's great kindness, but they are still not good to her child.
When they first came to the city, they were so proud of themselves. Who could have thought that they would return home in disgrace now? They are both so old now, and one of them can’t even move. It will be hard for them to farm in the future, and it will be hard for them to survive…”
Upon hearing this, the older generation sighed, and the younger ones who had never heard of this came to ask them about it.
Soon, news about Zhao Yanshu's background spread.
In recent years, more and more people from the village have gone to the city to work, and the village is no longer as isolated from news about the Zhao family as before, so the news about Zhao Yanshu gradually spread back.
Everyone was very angry when they heard about what happened to him. Even those who had just felt sorry for the old couple of the Zhao family put away their sympathy and thought that they deserved what they had today.
"Hey, do you think Zhao Yanshu's biological mother will come back? If she saw her son being bullied like this, she would be furious."
"Who knows? But I don't think I'll be angry. After all, if he wanted to come back, he would have come back a long time ago. He probably doesn't want this son anymore."
At this time, some older people retorted: "Don't talk nonsense, how could Hongying not love the child? If she was not good to the child, she would not have given her brother and sister-in-law a house and a job, just to let them help take care of the child. I guess it's not that she doesn't want to come back all these years, but that she can't come back!"
The young man was curious when he heard this, "Where did she go? Why didn't she come back for so many years?"
