If they do this, not only will they be ruined, but the reputation of their village will also be ruined. From now on, who would dare to marry into the village from outside?
There are many young men in their village. If none of them can find a wife, it will become a village of bachelors.
Therefore, the more the villagers thought about it, the more they hated Chen Kui and his wife.
Such a thing was not something they could conceal even if they wanted to. Perhaps, as soon as the two men left the village, the news of their kidnapping of their niece would spread.
The captain was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do, because this matter was beyond his control.
It seemed he had to call Chen Cheng to see if he could help. Chen Cheng knew a lot of people and might be able to intercede. After all, Chen Kui was Chen Cheng's uncle, so if Chen Cheng spoke up for him, he might get a lighter sentence.
Thinking of this, the captain went straight to the brigade headquarters.
When Chen Cheng received the captain's call and heard that he was going to plead for Chen Kui, he almost laughed out loud. He asked, "Captain, do you know what you're talking about? Chunhua is my own sister, and yet she was abducted by Chen Kui. For three years, he kept it a secret and asked me to send money back every month. If it was your daughter who was abducted, would you forgive such a person?"
"Chen Cheng, I know you're very angry. But you have to think about our village, right? If your uncle's affair gets out, how will our village ever be able to face the world?"
"And how can the young men in our village find wives? And who would dare to marry the young women?"
"Captain, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? My sister has been missing for three years. Did you ever tell me about it? I've called you several times in the past three years, and you always answered the phone, right? If you had mentioned it, they would have discovered my sister's trafficking long ago. You wouldn't have had to wait until the police showed up to find out, right?"
"After all, it's you who failed in your duty. Also, do you know how much my sister has suffered in the past three years? How dare you ask me to forgive them?"
After saying that, Chen Cheng hung up the phone directly. He didn't plan to go back to the village anyway. If the captain was offended, then so be it. It didn't matter.
To be honest, he was so far away that he didn't know about his sister's disappearance, but the people in the village must know.
Especially the captain, if he had paid more attention to his sister, things wouldn't have developed like this.
Don’t they know what Chen Kui is like? They know.
Didn't they suspect Chunhua's disappearance? They certainly did. But they just ignored it and turned a blind eye.
"Why do you get so angry just because of a phone call?" Mao Dazhu and Zhao Jun were very worried when they saw Chen Cheng coming back after answering the phone with an angry look on his face.
"Nothing." Chen Cheng shook his head. There was nothing much to say about this kind of thing.
Seeing that Chen Cheng was unwilling to say, the two did not ask any further questions.
When Chen Kui and Li Dahong were locked up, their son was also taken away by the police for investigation.
Chen Jun never dreamed that his job would be gone just like that. Not only that, he was also sent to a farm for forced labor along with his parents.
Obviously, the trafficking of Chen Chunhua had nothing to do with him, yet he was implicated. If he had known this would happen, he would have stopped it no matter what.
But it was too late to say anything now. Not only would he have to go to labor camp with his parents, but his wife was also divorcing him. As for their child, not only had he been taken away by his wife, but he had also changed their surname.
In the words of his wife, the child cannot have a father who is in labor camp.
What could he do? He had no idea what to do. He could only watch helplessly as his wife took the divorce papers and took the child away.
The Chen family's father and son were sent to labor camps, and Chen's daughter could no longer go to school and had to return to the village to farm and earn work points.
But because Chen Chunhua had been in front of her since she was a child, Chen Chunmei rarely did any work at home, let alone work in the fields.
Therefore, she couldn't work in the fields for just one day. Finally, she found a husband for herself and didn't ask for a dowry. She only had one requirement, which was that she didn't have to work in the fields.
Her in-laws readily agreed. But she didn't know that housework was just as tiring. Therefore, her life after getting married was not easy.
At this point, Chen Kui and his family of four paid the price for their actions and got the retribution they deserved.
After Chen Cheng got the news, he told his sister immediately.
"Chunhua, your uncle and his family have all gotten their comeuppance. Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Chen Chunhua laughed. She was happy that they were not doing well. She had suffered for three years, and now it was their turn.
"Brother, this matter was able to come to a conclusion so quickly, thanks to the leader and sister-in-law. Do you think we should take some time to treat them to a meal?"
"Okay, I'll ask the captain when they're free, and then I'll invite them over for dinner. Speaking of which, they're my brother and I'm benefactors. Without them, we wouldn't be able to be together, let alone live like this."
"Brother, once you've decided on a time, tell me and I'll prepare the meal."
"good!"
The next day at work, Chen Cheng specifically found Si Nanzhao and told him that he wanted to treat the couple to dinner.
Si Nanzhao knew that he wanted to thank the couple, so he agreed. The date was set for this Saturday night.
After the time was set, Chen Chunhua sold a batch of dried herbs, and then used the money from selling the herbs to buy meat and vegetables.
Saturday came in a blink of an eye, and Si Nanzhao and Chen Cheng got off work together.
However, Si Nanzhao did not rush to Chen Cheng's house, but returned to his own home first, waiting for Yun Bei to come back and go there together.
Fortunately, this matter was agreed upon in advance, and Yunbei did not have to work overtime and came back early.
Seeing Si Nanzhao waiting for him at home, Yunbei took out two cans of food and a box of pastries from the house.
The couple took their things and went to Chen Cheng's house.
This was Yunbei's second visit to this courtyard. Seeing how neatly Chen Chunhua had tidied the courtyard, and especially seeing the corridor filled with herbs drying in the sun, Yunbei's face was filled with smiles.
It has to be said that Chen Chunhua is a girl who knows how to live. Although she has experienced hardships, she still has an immense love for life.
Seeing Yunbei and Sinanzhao coming, Chen Cheng and his sister came out from the kitchen to greet them.
Chen Chunhua felt embarrassed when she saw what Yunbei was holding. She said, "Sister-in-law, why are you spending money again? You have to take this back later. It doesn't make sense for us to treat you to a meal and then ask you to spend money."
"What's the big deal? It's not expensive if you treat us to a meal. If you do this, I won't dare come to your house next time."
In the end, Chen Chunhua was unable to convince Yunbei and had no choice but to accept the things.
