Chapter 15 The Last Straw



She trotted into the yard and opened the door.

Seeing her sister Chen Pingchu crying like a cat, she quickly pulled her in.

Calming down, he asked, "Sister, don't cry, what happened?"

"Xiaoqing... wuwuwu... Xiaoqing she..." Chen Pingchu burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth, unable to utter even a complete sentence.

"Jiang Xiaoqing ran away from home..." Shen Pingchu said, handing the letter left by Jiang Xiaoqing to Shen Lichu.

Chen Lichu had just heard her sister frantically calling her name outside the door, and this memory was awakened.

Chen Lichu opened the letter in his hand, and the memories that had been buried for many years gradually became clear.

Jiang Xiaoqing has a childhood sweetheart named Zhang Heng, who is a well-mannered, well-educated and polite boy.

Unfortunately, both his parents passed away when he was young, and it was his grandfather who raised him and his brother alone.

After their grandfather died, they had no one to rely on. The elder brother dropped out of school and went to Shanghai to work to earn money to support Zhang Heng's studies.

Zhang Heng is also a hardworking person. He was admitted to a key university in the province and has a stable job.

However, the good times did not last long. Not long after he started working, he received bad news from Shanghai.

His brother had an accident in Shanghai and left him a large inheritance and a company.

He had to rush to Shanghai to deal with his brother's funeral.

Jiang Xiaoqing also wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Shen Pingchu and her man Jiang Zhisheng.

They despised Zhang Heng for being an orphan with no one to rely on, and now his brother was dead, so he must be a lonely person.

She didn't agree with Jiang Xiaoqing being with him, and was afraid that he would kill Jiang Xiaoqing, so she locked Jiang Xiaoqing in the room.

As a result, when they came back from get off work today, they found that Jiang Xiaoting had run away and left a letter asking them to pretend that they had never given birth to her daughter.

They looked everywhere but couldn't find the person. As it was getting dark, she and Jiang Zhisheng went to their relatives to help find the person.

"Don't worry, we will definitely find her, don't worry..." Chen Lichu patted Chen Pingchu's shoulder and comforted her softly.

But Shen Pingchu didn't seem to believe what Shen Lichu said at all.

She didn't think she could find anyone. Maybe her daughter had already boarded the train to Shanghai.

There has been no news since then.

She had been in poor health since childhood, and after giving birth to this one precious daughter, she never got pregnant again.

Her daughter is her life, she cannot lose her.

"How do I find it?"

"Where can I find it?"

"I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it."

"What should I do?"

"What should I do..."

Chen Pingchu grabbed Chen Lichu's hand as if he was holding on to the last straw.

Chen Lichu calmed down and tried hard to recall what happened next.

Thirty years later, even for such a big event, some details are still forgotten.

It seems...

She and Zhang Heng agreed to leave together, but she was locked at home by her parents, and Zhang Heng was anxious to deal with his brother's funeral.

So he went to Shanghai first, planning to come back immediately after taking care of the funeral.

As a result, after the funeral was settled, his brother's company ran into some problems, and he had no choice but to stay in Shanghai to deal with them.

He had written letters to Jiang Xiaoqing, but they were stopped by Shen Pingchu and Jiang Zhisheng and never reached her.

The two people lost contact.

The disheartened Jiang Xiaoqing was forced to marry the man who violated her.

His family is powerful and influential. If Jiang Xiaoqing doesn't agree, the Jiang family will probably never have peace again.

The rapist didn't stop even after he married Jiang Xiaoqing.

Not long after, he raped another girl from the same village.

The little girl had a bad temper and committed suicide by cutting her wrists at his doorstep the next day.

The incident became a big deal and he was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.

Only then was Jiang Xiaoqing able to escape.

When Zhang Heng came back, Chen Pingchu's family moved to the next city to avoid the gossip.

He asked around and finally found out the address of Chen Lichu's home.

Chen Pingchu had explained this before, so Chen Lichu only told him that Jiang Xiaoqing was married and said nothing else.

Thirty years later, she still remembered Zhang Heng's deep black eyes, which changed from full of expectation to dull and lifeless.

That lonely figure leaving made her regret to this day.

If Jiang Xiaoqing had waited for him back then, she would have lived a happy life.

pity...

Chen Lichu suddenly came back to his senses.

She's been reborn, so none of this has happened yet.

As long as she can find Jiang Xiaoqing quickly and stop all this, it won’t be a pity!

"Guangzong, Yaozu, Yangming, Liwan, Chunhua, Qiuyue! Come with me to find Jiang Xiaoqing!" Chen Lichu shouted towards the house.

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Chen Pingchu's eyes.

My sister has a large family, and with so many people, we will definitely be able to find Jiang Xiaoqing.

Lu Liwan, who was doing his homework, was the first to rush into the yard, followed by Lu Chunhua and Lu Qiuyue.

The other three sons were nowhere to be seen for a long time.

"Sister, listen to me. Zhang Heng must be very anxious as he's rushing to deal with his brother's funeral. He might have already passed away before Xiaoqing went to find him."

"You go back first and look for her in the village. She doesn't have money to buy a ticket, so she can't leave. She must be afraid that you will find her, so she hid." Chen Lichu said in a firm tone.

Chen Pingchu suddenly realized that Jiang Xiaoqing couldn't find the place where she kept the money at home, and there was no sign of it being turned over.

She must have jumped out of the window in a hurry and ran away, forgetting to take the money.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and go back to the village to look for it." Chen Pingchu said and trotted away.
