While Wen Qiao stayed at the Shen family home with her husband, three children, mother, and stepfather, Old Wu.
He Muye went to find his sister.
He Muye was sent down to the rural Northwest with his parents. Because his family were capitalists, they thought the He family was indeed a local tyrant. They belonged to the "Five Black Categories" and were forced to do the lowest-level jobs after being sent down to the Northwest.
He Muye's father was a scientific research expert who had conducted medical research at Shanghai's largest medical school and was one of the earliest young talents to go abroad.
Even He Muye's father had passed the pilot's license exam back then.
He Muye's mother was a well-known socialite in Shanghai, with family members who were officials and businessmen, and the family was wealthy.
It was precisely because they had lived such comfortable lives in the first half of their lives that, after being sent down to the rural areas of Northwest China, the higher authorities issued an order to give them the dirtiest and most tiring jobs, so that they could not rest.
During the day, they go out to do hard labor, and at night they have to go back to write various self-reflection reports and explain various problems at home.
I have to be dragged out every time.
Throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them is already a good thing; some people even throw feces at them.
The first to be unable to bear it was He Muye's mother, a very particular big-city lady, who hanged herself from a tree at the village entrance in the middle of the night.
After discovering his wife's death, He Muye's father also became mentally unstable, but he still could not escape the pressure of being reformed.
They believe that He Muye's mother committed suicide in an attempt to escape hard labor.
He Muye's mother was an intellectual and was willing to teach at the local primary school, even without pay. They refused to believe her. What's more, some despicable and immoral people stared at her fair skin and pretty face and said vulgar and obscene things.
After He Muye's mother died, he was left to fend for himself as a child, and his father was mentally unstable.
It was a farmer who lived relatively close to the He family and looked after the village's livestock who took the initiative to show concern for the He family father and son.
The reason was that a farmer surnamed Bai had a daughter who was three years older than He Muye. She was mute and could not speak, but the little girl was very beautiful, especially her bright eyes.
Mother He liked to confide in her, but since the little girl was mute, she wouldn't tell anyone.
Later, He's mother even gave the girl the jade bracelet and pendant that her own mother had left her, saying that she wanted the girl to hide them for her son later.
At that time, He's mother already had suicidal thoughts.
Later, He's father lost the will to live. One night, he took his son and used his savings to go to the Bai family, where a scientific research expert knelt down and begged the old farmer to adopt his son.
In fact, He's father also knew that he had severed ties with his son and sent him to the Bai family. The Bai family was the poorest in the family, and the poorer they were, the more glorious they were. Such a Bai family could protect his son, at least he wouldn't be targeted by others.
He Muye was adopted by Bai Fuqiu.
A few days later, He's father died.
He's a medical professional; he knows what's poisonous and can be fatal.
He knew that dying was easier than living.
He couldn't understand why, after confessing everything he needed to and handing over all the family's assets, he still couldn't get a little breathing room.
His father committed evil, and he, the son, is to pay for it; then he shall pay with his life.
He Muye was about seven or eight years old at the time. He lost his mother and father one after another, which made him psychologically sensitive and fragile.
Baiyin took great care of him.
In He Muye's heart, Bai Yin was his everything.
It was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be true in the future...
He Muye learned about Bai Yin's ordeal from Zhao Qingzhou.
Bai Yin's father passed away when she was eighteen. She was arranged to marry by a so-called relative, but the family treated her very badly, so Bai Yin ran away.
Because she doesn't have a household registration and is mute, Baiyin has had a very difficult time these past few years.
When the organization found Bai Yin, she was extremely thin, and her leg appeared to have been injured, leaving her with a severe limp.
When He Muye went to see Bai Yin, she refused to see him.
But she only agreed to meet him after someone from the organization spoke with her.
After Baiyin moved to the city, things changed a lot. She could go to school, had enough to eat, and was visibly much better off than before.
He Muye was dressed neatly and tidy, and even held a bouquet of white lilies he had bought.
When he pushed open the door and saw her bare face, wearing only a simple long-sleeved blue jacket, black pants, and ordinary black cloth shoes, He Muye recognized her at a glance. This was the sister he had been longing for day and night.
"Sister," he called softly. A grown man's words should be mature and composed, but at this moment they were filled with trepidation and heartache.
"I'm sorry, I promised Uncle Bai that I would take care of you, but I broke my promise."
