Twenty thousand yuan was a huge sum of money back then.
With this money, their lives will be better.
Only then was Cheng Wanhua allowed to go into the village and take Sheng Yueqing away.
Originally, I just wanted to exchange Sheng Yueqing for money.
But Zhonghe was afraid that Sheng Yueqing would recognize them, so he wanted to silence them.
Or perhaps it was poison that silenced Sheng Yueqing.
But if Sheng Yueqing were to return with serious injuries, Mr. Sheng might not be so forgiving.
So they decided to just kill them all.
But Cheng Wanhua disagreed. If she killed the child before even getting the money, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
The two then started arguing.
Finally, Grandpa Sheng arrived and took the child away.
Sheng Yueqing was puzzled. "What is Old Master Sheng's background?"
Why were they able to join forces with Zhong He and his group?
Mr. Sheng narrowed his eyes. "This old man is actually a powerful opponent that the higher-ups are looking to deal with."
It is said that Old Man Sheng's background is not simple.
He was a very powerful villain among the older generation.
He had been hiding for many years, but the authorities had not been able to find him.
I never imagined that they would hide in such a remote rural area and stay there for decades.
They even took his child away.
Sheng Yueqing was puzzled, "What does Old Master Sheng want to do by taking me away?"
Are you suggesting we use her to threaten my father?
Mr. Sheng shook his head. "He probably wants to keep you as a pawn so he can use me as a bargaining chip in the future."
Or perhaps, he wanted to train Sheng Yueqing to be an enemy agent.
But judging from Sheng Yueqing's character, she doesn't seem like it.
Sheng Yueqing recalled, "He didn't train me in anything, he only taught me to read and write, and he also taught me to recognize herbs, that's all."
If we really want to nurture her, we'll definitely have to teach her a lot.
But Old Man Sheng clearly didn't.
Mr. Sheng was also puzzled by this.
He's clearly a major villain, so why doesn't he corrupt children?
Could it be that you felt sorry for the child?
Sheng Yueqing recalled, "Actually, Grandpa Sheng treated me quite well. When I was a child, he would play chess with me and praise me for being clever."
If Zhang Dahua wouldn't give her any food, the old man would secretly roast sweet potatoes for her.
The only warmth she received during her childhood came from Old Man Sheng.
Mr. Sheng was deeply moved.
Perhaps old man Sheng felt some pity for the children as he grew older.
However, the higher-ups wanted Sheng Yueqing to go and cooperate with the investigation.
After all, he's such a big villain.
They were also afraid that Sheng Yueqing would be led astray.
Mrs. Sheng listened with concern, "Why do you still need to investigate my daughter?"
Mr. Sheng told her about the seriousness of the matter, "It's good to ask, so they can rest assured."
He asked Sheng Yueqing, "Are you sure the old man is dead?"
Sheng Yueqing nodded, "He died the year I was in high school. When he died, he told me to study hard and to get out of this mountain."
Did he give you anything?
Sheng Yueqing recalled, "Yes, he gave me some books."
There is also some pocket money.
That's all.
Before the old man died, he told Zhang Dahua to burn all his belongings so he could take them with him.
Zhang Dahua didn't want the old man's things to take up space, so she burned them.
Mr. Sheng frowned. "He probably burned all those important things."
"However, you need to bring those books back with you."
"The people from above will go with you then."
Sheng Yueqing understood.
Perhaps the higher-ups are afraid she might also be a minor enemy spy.
The matter was settled in the next few days; they would have to head south at the end of the month to retrieve those books from the countryside.
Mrs. Sheng looked worried. "Won't this implicate our Qingqing?"
The child himself is a victim.
If I were to be implicated, it would be an undeserved disaster.
Mr. Sheng shook his head, "Nothing will happen, I'll keep an eye on things."
At worst, they can give up their positions and go to the countryside to live a free life.
Mrs. Sheng knew that if this matter wasn't thoroughly investigated, she would never be free again.
He Yushen frowned as he listened from the side.
"Wife, why are we so unlucky?"
Just a trip to Kyoto has caused so much trouble.
Sheng Yueqing, on the other hand, is quite open-minded.
"It seems this calamity was destined to befall us."
There weren't so many problems in my past life, but the ending wasn't good either.
This life has broadened my horizons; I not only opened a factory and became a boss, but I also recognized my parents.
Now that there's a minor calamity, it's a fair compensation for all the benefits.
Besides, she's not a bad person and isn't afraid of being investigated.
The next day, after sorting out the accounts and packing their things, they prepared to go to Shanghai first and then return to their hometown.
When Grandma Sheng heard that they were leaving, she wanted to go with them.
Mr. Sheng said, "You're already so old, don't travel back and forth, it's not good for your health."
Grandma Sheng was very reluctant to part with him.
"What kind of situation is this? They just came and left again. I haven't even had a proper few days with my granddaughter yet."
Sheng Yueqing hugged her, "It's okay, I'll come back to see you after I'm done with my work."
Although Grandma Sheng was reluctant to part with them, she knew they were busy with important matters, and said with a look of reluctance, "Then come back to see me soon."
"I'm afraid I don't have many years left to live, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see you before I die."
She started crying as she spoke.
Sheng Yueqing felt heartbroken watching this and quickly wiped away her tears.
"Don't say that. I think you look like you could live to be a hundred."
"You're still decades away from turning one hundred."
"We'll come to see you as soon as we're done with our work."
"Will you have a great-grandchild then?"
Whenever her great-grandson was mentioned, Old Mrs. Sheng no longer wanted to die.
"Then we have to wait for you to come back. Remember to come back and give me a great-grandchild."
When people get old, they hope that their family will thrive.
She's hoping her granddaughter will give her a few great-grandchildren.
