The people who silenced Tang Dafei have been identified.
The men confessed that they had accepted bribes from Han Zhiyuan.
When domestic police arrested Han Zhiyuan, he had just returned from a gambling city overseas and was taken away at the airport.
He initially refused to confess and even demanded to see a lawyer.
Only when the staff presented him with evidence of his various crimes, including commercial fraud, illegal land hoarding, gambling away tens of millions of yuan overseas, and money laundering through falsified accounts, did he confess to the crime of Song Qiuxue.
They said the accounts were done by Song Qiuxue.
He bribed relevant personnel to silence Tang Dafei, which was also at Song Qiuxue's request.
He also truthfully confessed that he and Song Qiuxue had once been lovers.
The investigators began a secret investigation into Song Qiuxue and discovered that while she was having an affair with Han Zhiyuan, she was also dating Tao Dayong.
At this time, Han Zhiyuan's current wife suddenly filed a formal complaint against him, accusing him of having illicit relationships and fathering multiple illegitimate children.
He also said that he had opened an account abroad in the name of Song Qiuxue and her son, and that he would transfer money to the overseas account every year.
The investigation proceeded step by step, layer by layer.
Song Qiuxue's past came to light, and it was also discovered that her family had switched her adoptive parents' biological daughter with her.
Song Yinhua had reported the Tang family to the police multiple times about them switching her younger sister, but nothing came of it.
Now everything has been investigated and clarified, and all those involved have been dismissed and punished.
Song Hanwen, who bribed relevant personnel, was also taken away for investigation.
The fact that Tang Dafei was the suspect in setting up the wonton shop that framed Song Yinhua, which was shut down, and that Song Yinhua's orchard was burned down, has also been brought up again.
Tao Dayong, who deliberately protected Tang Dafei, was also taken away.
Tao's father and mother immediately went to the retired senior officer to plead for their son's release, but the old man sternly refused.
Just as the Tao family elders were trying to save their son, an even worse piece of bad news arrived.
Their grandson is not their biological child.
Han Zhiyuan confessed everything.
He set up an account abroad in the name of Song Qiuxue and her son, and deposited money into it every year. This was because Song Qiuxue's son was his illegitimate child, and the money he deposited was to prepare for immigrating abroad with Song Qiuxue and her son in the future.
He used gambling abroad as a pretext to transfer money overseas, so that he and Song Qiuxue could continue their life of luxury after immigrating overseas.
All those responsible for the illegal activities have been apprehended.
The statute of limitations for the theft and drowning of Song Erzhuang and Qiao Guilan's third daughter in the cesspool has expired, and Old Man Tang, Tang Su'e, and Tang Suxiang have luckily escaped this fate.
However, the Tang family gradually declined because of this incident.
Old Tang had previously suffered a stroke from anger, and this incident has made him ill again.
Tang Su'e and her husband moved out of the Tang family home, saying that since she was the daughter, it was the son's responsibility to take care of the elderly, and it was not her place to do so.
Zhou Qiaoyun was furious and berated Tang Suxiang for staying at her parents' home for decades after getting married, and now that the old woman was sick, she was just pushing her mother away and moving out herself.
Tang Su'e's two sons did not move out, but they secretly agreed to say the same thing: "We are grandsons, and we have no obligation to support our maternal grandfather. We only need to support our own parents."
Zhou Qiaoyun was so angry that she tried to kick them out, and the two sides started fighting. In the end, she couldn't do anything about them.
The Tang family, once the wealthiest family in Tangzhuang Village, has fallen into complete ruin.
News of the Tang family's affair reached Songzhuang Village.
Qiao Guilan sent her grandson to Huojiabao Village to call Song Yinhua over for dinner.
When Song Yinhua took her mentally ill mother-in-law and daughter back to her parents' home, they passed by the house of Old Lady Zhou next door and happened to see Old Lady Zhou being carried onto a tricycle by her sons.
"Yinhua!" When Grandma Zhou saw Song Yinhua, she greeted her politely, her former arrogance and contempt completely gone.
Grandma Zhou's youngest son took her away on a tricycle because she was in poor health.
Song Yinhua never expected that Old Mrs. Zhou, who used to always look down on her, would be so polite now.
Qiao Guilan said, "Old Mrs. Zhou has had a very hard time these past few years. Her ninth son gave birth to a girl whose body was covered in dark spots. She was heartbroken trying to get treatment for the child. Some people in the village cursed her family for getting their comeuppance."
"Several of Grandma Zhou's granddaughters became mistresses. After her eldest granddaughter Baozhu was jilted, she somehow ended up in that line of work, selling herself in several nearby villages. Baozhu's parents were ashamed and sent her to the county town. Later, someone saw Baozhu selling herself in the red-light district of the county town."
"All of Grandma Zhou's other granddaughters became mistresses. Only the youngest granddaughter went to work in the provincial capital and became a mistress. She only became the wife after she got pregnant. I heard that the original wife made a huge fuss and even beat Grandma Zhou's youngest granddaughter."
"Grandma Zhou's most beloved grandson worked at a TV station, but he died in a car accident last year while on an interview."
“These things have really hurt Grandma Zhou, and her health has deteriorated. Some people in the village are cursing her family for doing too many immoral things and that they are getting their comeuppance. Now Grandma Zhou goes to the priest to confess every day, regardless of wind or rain, or even if she is sick and unable to move, she has to have her son ride a tricycle to take her to the priest in town to confess.”
Li Wenxiu personally cooked the meal.
The family had a lively meal together. At the table, Li Wenxiu toasted Song Yinhua with wine, apologized to her, and offered to let her cultivate the land at the foot of the mountain again, with the rent remaining the same as before, 2,500 yuan a year.
"I'm focused on managing the wonton shop now, and I don't have the energy to deal with anything else," Song Yinhua politely declined Li Wenxiu's suggestion.
Li Wenxiu looked at Song Baogen and kept winking at him, urging him to persuade Song Yinhua.
She spent some time cultivating a plot of land at the foot of the mountain. It was tiring and arduous work, and most of the watermelon seeds she sowed died due to improper fertilization.
The fruit trees I planted didn't seem to grow much, even when I checked on them every day.
Most of the watermelons died, and she didn't have much hope for these fruit trees anymore. Besides, it was too hard work, so she thought of renting the land to Song Yinhua again to earn some rent every year.
"Don't look at it anymore. You insisted on taking that land and farming it yourself." Song Baogen was very dissatisfied with his wife's actions, but he held back from arguing with her because of their two children.
Li Wenxiu then looked at Qiao Guilan and Song Erzhuang. The elderly couple naturally hoped that their son could have an easier life.
They took turns trying to persuade Song Yinhua to continue farming the land at the foot of the mountain, offering to lower the rent.
Song Yinhua also politely declined her parents' offer.
"Yinhua, Wenxiu has already apologized to you. Don't be petty and hold it against Wenxiu. When you get old, Baogen and his two sons will take care of you, and then..."
"Grandma, when I grow up, I will take care of Mom in her old age," Xiao Xiaohua said.
"When adults are talking, you kids shouldn't interrupt." Qiao Guilan sent all the children out to play.
Xiao Xiaohua refused to go and pulled Song Yinhua to go home.
She didn't like her maternal grandmother's house.
Song Yinhua realized that her parents had called her over for dinner with ulterior motives.
She then got up and led the madwoman and her daughter away.
The postman rode his bicycle out of the village office of Huojiabao Village. When Song Yinhua led her mother-in-law and daughter back to the village, she just saw the postman riding away.
