Chapter 358 From now on, just call me daddy, okay?
Nian County
Thanks to the police's persistent pursuit, the Yangdongya was finally found in early October.
When he heard that she was sold to a small mountain village in the southwest, Zheng Lianfeng could no longer sit still and said that he would ask his superiors for leave to bring her back.
The police officer, however, looked at him hesitantly, with a hint of sympathy on his face.
"Comrade, has something happened to Comrade Dongya? Just tell me, no matter what the situation is, I can bear it."
At this time, there were only Zheng Lianfeng and two police officers in the room, and no one else.
After hearing what Zheng Lianfeng said, the police hesitated for a while, but still told him the truth about Yang Dongya's situation.
"To be honest, we almost rescued her, but at the last minute, she refused to come back with us."
Zheng Lianfeng was somewhat incredulous when he heard that Yang Dongya refused to come back.
"Why? Didn't you tell her I was looking for her?"
Although Zheng Lianfeng had no romantic feelings for Yang Dongya, the only reason he didn't give up looking for her was out of a sense of responsibility.
But when he heard that she refused to come back, he was still a little shocked.
Hearing this, the police officer looked at him sympathetically again.
Finally, he said, "She is pregnant, and she said she wants to stay there."
When saying this, the police officer's expression was indescribable.
He had never thought that there would be such people in the world, who would give up their good lives and insist on staying in such a poor place to be someone else's wife.
When Zheng Lianfeng heard that Yang Dongya was pregnant and was going to marry the man who bought her, he felt disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.
In this situation, the police didn’t know how to comfort him.
The person in question was unwilling to leave, and with the villagers obstructing them, they were unable to take her away even if they wanted to.
And to be honest, if she didn't do it voluntarily, it would be fine, at least she could still live a decent life after returning.
But she was determined to stay there, which was a big blow to a man's dignity.
The police couldn't comfort him at all, so they just patted him on the shoulder and left.
Zheng Lianfeng was left sitting alone in the room, like a wooden sculpture, and he didn't move for a long time.
I don't know how long it took before he stood up.
Maybe because he hadn't moved for too long, his feet felt a little numb and Zheng Lianfeng was shaking all over.
To steady himself, he grabbed the shelf on the table.
The next second, there was a loud bang, and everything on the shelf fell to the ground.
Zheng Lianfeng squatted down and was about to pick up the scattered things when his attention was attracted by a notebook on the ground.
He recognized this notebook. Qiangzi wrote and drew in it every day.
Thinking of this, he could no longer control his excitement and picked up the notebook on the ground.
Yang Dongya's whereabouts were found, but there was still no news about her son.
Zheng Lianfeng has not had a full night's sleep since Qiangzi was abducted.
I was afraid that he was beaten or abused outside, and I was also afraid that he had met with an accident.
Now seeing the notebook left by Qiangzi, Zheng Lianfeng felt like he had found a treasure.
After barely suppressing the excitement in his heart, he carefully opened the book.
But the next second, he seemed to be frozen in time, Zheng Lianfeng staring at the notebook in his hand.
The book shows a man in military uniform with a short child next to him.
The knife in the child's hand had already stabbed into the stomach of the man in military uniform.
Although the painting was sloppily done, Zheng Lianfeng recognized at a glance that the people in the painting were himself and Qiangzi.
The notebook in my hand was the one I bought for Junzi and gave to Qiangzi at the same time.
In other words, he drew these pictures after he thought Qiangzi had made some revisions.
Zheng Lianfeng's hands couldn't stop shaking.
I recalled the expression on his face when he was writing and drawing in the notebook.
Zheng Lianfeng's heart couldn't stop feeling cold.
After a pause, he continued to flip through the pages.
The subsequent paintings became increasingly bloody and brutal.
In addition to himself, the victims also included children in the compound and military wives.
Some of the scenes were so cruel that they were beyond his imagination.
Zheng Lianfeng couldn't believe that he had given birth to such a son.
But he could recall the clues that he had ignored in the past.
Zheng Lianfeng couldn't even deceive himself.
Qiangzi hasn't changed at all, he is still the child with a heart full of evil thoughts.
I just learned how to pretend and deceive him!
Hehehe…
Zheng Lianfeng felt very sad.
The two people I worry about day and night, one is willing to be someone else's wife, and the other is thinking about killing me all the time.
For a moment, Zheng Lianfeng couldn't help but doubt himself.
Is he really that bad?
Zheng Lianfeng was beaten so hard that his back became hunched, and he seemed to have lost all his energy.
I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly, a basin was handed over from the side.
There were a few steaming sweet potatoes in the basin.
"Dad, you haven't eaten for a long time. I steamed some sweet potatoes. Have some to fill your stomach."
The soldier's voice was like a ray of light that pierced through the darkness and shone directly on Zheng Lianfeng who was trapped in the quagmire.
He turned his head away somewhat mechanically.
I saw four children standing in a row beside him, and their eyes were filled with the same worry.
It was as if she was afraid that he wouldn't eat and would get hungry.
Seeing those children, the darkness in Zheng Lianfeng's heart miraculously faded away bit by bit.
"Uncle Zheng, I fried some eggs for you, don't be sad."
Dani spoke timidly, as if she was afraid he would refuse.
Zheng Lianfeng's eyes fell on the plate of eggs in her hand.
The egg was a little burnt and the salt on it hadn't melted yet, but Zheng Lianfeng smiled, and was very happy.
"Thank you, Dani, and the rest of you. I'm fine now. Let's go eat together. I'll fry eggs for you. We'll all have a snack today."
Some people are not worth his attention.
Since they all hate him so much, he will just pretend that these two people don't exist in this world.
After thinking it over, Zheng Lianfeng let it go.
When Huazi heard that he would have a snack, he jumped up excitedly!
"Great! I'll eat a whole egg."
"good."
"Uncle Zheng...Uncle Zheng, can I eat it too?" Little Stone swallowed and looked at him longingly.
"Of course you can. From now on, you and Dani will call me daddy. Got it?"
Hearing this, Dani and Shitou were both stunned.
After they reacted, they subconsciously turned to look at Junzi and Huazi.
The soldier's face turned red.
"Why are you looking at me? Didn't you hear what Dad said? He will be your dad from now on!"
Hearing this, Dani and Shitou couldn't help crying.
No one knows how scared they were during this time.
Their mother is no longer here, so can they still stay in the family home?
If they can't stay here, where can they go?
But now Zheng Lianfeng asked them to call him "Dad". Doesn't this mean that they will truly become members of the Zheng family from now on?
"Call daddy!"
Seeing that the two hadn't spoken yet, Junzi and Huazi became worried about them.
Zheng Lianfeng also looked at them with encouragement.
Dani took a deep breath, and finally called out solemnly, "Dad!"
“Hey!”
Shitou also shouted "Dad".
Zheng Lianfeng smiled, touched his head, and continued, "You and Dani go to school together tomorrow, and Dad will talk to the teacher."
Hearing this, Dani couldn't stop crying.
"Thank you, Dad."
Dani said with a choked voice.
At the same time, she also secretly vowed in her heart that she must study hard and be good to her father all her life.
Because he didn't mind that she was a girl, he was willing to let her go to school.
Dani doesn't believe that studying is useless.
She also wants to be like Aunt Su!
