"That's what I mean. But I think it's better to investigate thoroughly."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Um!"
The couple discussed it and washed the dishes.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, the brother and sister were reminiscing about the past. Chen Chunhua told her brother about her experiences over the years.
Chen Cheng learned about his sister's experience and felt guilty and sad. Since their parents passed away, the two siblings have lived with their uncle's family.
In order to give his sister a better life and to have enough food to eat, he joined the army without hesitation. He thought that by doing so, he could protect his sister and let her live a good life.
But who would have thought that he didn't even know that his sister was kidnapped by a kidnapper.
Thinking about the money he had sent back in the past few years and the fact that his uncle's letter never told him about his sister's abduction, Chen Cheng couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, wanting to destroy everything.
"Chunhua, follow your brother from now on. Whenever your brother has a bite to eat, you will have one too. We will never go back to that home again."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother. But, with your current rank, can I join the army?"
"Don't worry, I've made great contributions this time, so I think I'll get a promotion. Then you can join the army. Before that, you can stay in a guesthouse, or I can help you find a house nearby."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, brother."
Seeing his sister's obedient appearance, Chen Cheng's heart softened. He was even more grateful to Yun Bei for bringing his sister to him.
Otherwise, he would not have known that his sister was in trouble and would still foolishly send so much money back every month.
Seeing that it was getting late, Si Nanzhao interrupted the brother and sister who were still reminiscing about the past and said, "Chen Cheng, it's time to return to the army. I'll ask your sister-in-law to make arrangements for your sister later."
Chen Cheng paused after hearing this and looked at Yunbei and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your help. I just told her to stay in the guesthouse for the time being. When I have time, I will rent her a house outside."
"Okay, I'll take her to the guesthouse later." Yunbei agreed.
Actually, she could live in the house, but Yunbei didn't like having outsiders at home. Plus, she had her own secrets, and it was inconvenient to have outsiders at home.
Another thing is that this loophole cannot be opened. Otherwise, what will happen if all the family members of Si Nanzhao's subordinates come and stay at home?
Chen Cheng and Si Nanzhao returned to the army, and Yunbei took Chen Chunhua to the army guesthouse to settle down. The guesthouse was not far from the family compound, in fact, it was also inside the family compound, just in two different directions.
Therefore, it took more than ten minutes to reach the destination.
After Yunbei settled Chen Chunhua down, she returned home. As for teaching Chen Chunhua to identify herbs, there was no rush. She had come all the way here and was tired, so she decided to rest first.
As for Chen Cheng, as soon as he returned to the army, Mao Dazhu and Zhao Jun pulled him aside and asked, "Chen Cheng, tell me the truth, what did the regiment commander ask you to do?"
Faced with his brother's questioning, Chen Cheng did not hide it and told him that his sister had come to see him.
"No way?" The two asked in disbelief, "Your home is so far away, how did she find you?"
"It's a long story." Chen Cheng briefly told the story of his sister being abducted from her hometown and sold here, which made the two of them feel heartbroken.
"Damn kidnapper, he really hurt our sister."
"I don't know if these kidnappers have been caught. We absolutely cannot let them go."
"I'll ask the captain to help investigate the kidnapper's case. Anyway, I won't let this go of someone who harmed my sister. It doesn't matter if the person is a kidnapper or someone else."
Chen Cheng said this because he suspected his sister was sold to a kidnapper by her uncle and aunt. This was because they had seen similar incidents before, where selling a girl to a kidnapper was more profitable than marrying her off directly.
Let me put it this way, if you get married you can only earn a hundred or eighty yuan as a dowry, but if you sell her to a trafficker, you can at least make five or ten times as much.
Therefore, just on his way back to the army, he asked the regiment commander to help investigate the matter.
If he was sure that his sister was sold by his uncle and aunt, he would not let it go like this.
Not to mention how much money he sends back every year, just say that his sister doesn't eat for free at home. Not to mention the endless work she has to do every day, she still eats the leftovers of her uncle and aunt's family.
On days like this, let alone having enough to eat, it’s a good thing not to be hungry.
"Brother, if you need any help, just ask."
"Yes, as long as we can help, just tell us."
Mao Dazhu and Zhao Jun patted Chen Cheng on the shoulders and comforted him. If it were them, they would also feel bad if something like this happened to their sister who depended on them for everything.
Chen Chunhua took a nap in the guesthouse and woke up around five in the afternoon. She had originally wanted to go look for Yunbei, but when she saw the time, she had to give up the idea. She stayed in her room, quietly waiting for her brother to come.
At noon, her brother told her that he would deliver food in the evening and asked her to wait in the guesthouse.
After waiting for about half an hour, I heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, your brother." Chen Cheng stood outside the door with a lunch box, waiting for his sister to open the door for him.
Soon, the door opened, and Chen Chunhua stuck her head out. Seeing her brother's happy face, she said, "Brother, you're here. Come in."
Chen Cheng walked into the room with a lunch box and a smile.
"Chunhua, I brought you some food. Are you starving?"
Chen Chunhua saw that there was only one serving of rice, so he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, have you eaten yet? How about we eat together?"
"No, I've already eaten. Eat quickly, don't starve yourself."
After hearing what his brother said, Chen Chunhua didn't hesitate and started eating.
After dinner, Chen Chunhua was about to wash the lunch box, but Chen Cheng snatched it away and said, "Chunhua, take a rest, I'll wash it."
Chen Chunhua couldn't get it from her brother, so she had to let her brother wash the lunch box.
After washing the lunch box, Chen Cheng didn't rush to leave, but sat down to talk with his sister. Lunch was too short, and there were many things he hadn't asked yet.
For example, the details of her being abducted in town were very important to him. He wanted to determine from them whether this was an accident or a deliberate act.
However, his intuition told him that it was more likely to be man-made, because he knew his uncle and aunt well and knew what kind of people they were.
He heard from his sister that she was kidnapped when she went to the town to exchange eggs. But from what he knew about his uncle and aunt, they were very careful about precious items like eggs, and no one else was allowed to touch them except the two of them.
But why were they so kind as to let her deliver the eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative on the day my sister was abducted?
