Chapter 26 Going to the Sea with Him
I advised myself in my heart that no matter what the problem is, I must face it calmly.
"Grandma Gao, let me hear the bad news first! Wait a minute, I'll call Xiaofeng over. He's the little man of the family, and there are some things he should know."
At this time, Chu Feng was looking in the direction of his sister.
It felt like Grandma Gao had something important to tell his sister.
He really wanted to know what it was.
Seeing his sister waving at him and motioning him to come over, he ran over happily and stood beside his sister.
Wang Shasha also wanted to go over to listen, but was stopped by Gao Meijuan with a look. With nothing to do, she went to the two newly built ovens in the kitchen to study them.
Seeing that her daughter was understanding, Gao Meijuan looked at Chu Xuan and her brother.
He whispered, "The bad news is that Feng Chunhua escaped unscathed and will be able to go home tomorrow."
Chu Xuan and her brother both looked incredulous.
Chu Xuan asked first, "Feng Ti exposed Feng Chunhua. How could Feng Chunhua get away with it?"
Gao Meijuan said helplessly, "Ti Feng changed his confession and took all the blame. He even took the blame for stabbing Qin Xuehong."
Chu Xuan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was, so he remained silent.
Chu Feng stamped his feet in regret. "If Feng Ti didn't do it, why should he admit it? My sister even put aside past grudges and testified for him..."
Gao Meijuan continued to explain.
Only then did Chu Xuan and her brother know what had happened.
At the beginning, Feng Ti exposed Feng Chunhua.
Feng Chunhua was arrested and interrogated, but she refused to confess, insisting that Feng Ti was responsible. She only later learned that her eldest son was not her biological son, but that she had developed feelings for him. As for where her biological son had gone, or who Chu Xuan's father's father was, Feng Ti refused to reveal the details. He even beat her several times and forbade her to tell anyone, threatening to break her legs.
Hua Daling's confession was that she only knew that Feng Chunhua's eldest son was not her biological son, and she knew nothing else.
Hong Ping's confession was that she did not know that Feng Chunhua's eldest son was not her biological son, and she could not remember the characteristics of the child born to Feng Chunhua.
Later, Feng Ti suddenly changed his confession.
He admitted that he had stolen another family's child and given it to his sister to raise because he accidentally killed his sister's biological eldest son and he did this because he didn't want his sister to be sad.
As for who the child belonged to, he had never paid attention. He said that the child was stolen from Lai County Hospital.
He killed Qin Xuehong to silence her because she once met him on the way back to Lai County to meet with former colleagues and recognized him. She found him privately and accused him of being a child trafficker and used this to threaten him.
He was asked to pay 2,000 yuan as hush money. He couldn't afford it, so he found a scalpel that Qin Xuehong had kept as a souvenir at her home and stabbed her.
When Qin Xuehong fell to the ground, the back of her head hit the inkstone...
Not only that, Feng Ti also accurately stated the specific time when Qin Xuehong returned to Lai County to attend the party.
As for the fact that the time when Chu Xuan saw Feng Ti did not match the time of the crime, Feng Ti explained that he had noticed Chu Xuan a long time ago and deliberately let Chu Xuan see him following him to serve as a witness for the time.
Also, Feng Ti mentioned Qin Xuehong's diary, which he took to the kitchen and burned in the coal stove...
After hearing what happened, even if Gao Meijuan didn't say what the good news was, Chu Xuan and her brother guessed it.
The good news is that Feng Chunhua is not their biological grandmother, and their father’s compensation will be recovered by the relevant departments and then redistributed to them.
At this moment, Chu Xuan really wanted to ask Feng Ti in person why.
Why change the confession?
Why take all the blame?
Gao Meijuan saw what Chu Xuan was thinking and added, "Feng Ti committed suicide last night. Your grandfather Wang and I wanted you two to have a happy completion party, so we held off until now."
After saying that, he called his daughter and left.
Giving Chu Xuan and his sister space to digest the news.
Chu Feng squatted on the ground with his hands on his head, "Sister, we don't even know our ancestors' surnames!"
Chu Xuan felt unhappy, "Xiao Feng, I'm going to the village office to call Mom."
It would be most appropriate for her to tell Tian Xiaoyun about this.
"Let's go together! Sister, from now on, we will face everything together!"
After experiencing this incident, Chu Feng seemed to have matured a little.
"good."
They locked the gate and walked towards the village office.
When they got there, Wang Depin let them use the phone without saying a word.
Unfortunately, no one answered.
I called several times, but no one answered.
In the end, Chu Xuan asked Wang Depin for Tian Xiaoyun's mailing address and chose to write a letter to inform him.
The next day, at four o'clock in the afternoon on July 10, the first day of the sixth lunar month, Chu Xuan went out to catch seafood, carrying a backpack and a shoulder pole.
There were two wooden barrels and some fishing tools in the backpack.
Chu Feng wanted to go with them, but Chu Xuan stayed at home to read.
Now Chu Feng must hurry to review the textbooks for grades one to three, otherwise he will not be able to enter the fourth grade when school starts in September.
Chu Xuan still took the detour along the mountain road. She had originally agreed with Mu Chenze to settle the accounts on the days of 0 and 5, but she took the initiative to propose the settlement.
But Mu Chenze knew that she didn't go fishing much, so he said that it was not worth settling the bill for that small amount of money, and they would settle it together after they sold the goods today.
At around 4:30, Chu Xuan arrived at the secret place where people went to the beach to catch seafood.
The tide is receding, but the tide pools haven't receded yet.
There are many clams and snails on the exposed beach.
Chu Xuan took off the backpack on his body, squatted down and started picking up shellfish.
Just after I picked up the things, I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Congratulations!"
It’s Mu Chenze.
Chu Xuan stood up, looked at him, and smiled slightly, "You should congratulate me. The fact that Feng Chunhua is not my biological grandmother should have spread throughout our village."
Mu Chenze was wearing knee-high rubber boots, his clothes were a little dirty and smelled of fish, but this did not affect his handsome face and beautiful voice at all.
Chu Xuan quickly looked away, fearing that if she looked any longer, she would regret her decision to refuse the marriage.
Mu Chenze pointed at the clothes on his body, not feeling embarrassed at all, his face was very relaxed, "I just came to sell goods and didn't have time to change clothes. I thought you came to go fishing today, maybe you need my help. You haven't been here for a long time, maybe you have a big shipment."
"I'll give you some good luck!"
The tide pool had not yet appeared, so Chu Xuan planned to squat down and continue picking clams.
Mu Chenze stopped him and said, "What's so good about this thing? Take a break first, and let's talk."
Chu Xuan was just about to say, what is there to say?
Mu Chenze spoke again, "Chu Xuan, I asked a Chinese doctor, and he said your obesity is a disease that needs to be treated properly, otherwise it will affect your lifespan. I was counting on you to go fishing and earn more money so that I can share the profits. Shall I take you to see a Chinese doctor tomorrow?"
In the previous life, he had also taken the initiative to take her to see a Chinese doctor. At that time, she was his wife, and it was his duty to take her.
But in this life, they are just buddies.
Chu Xuan refused without hesitation, "You don't have to take me. I can go by myself. Actually, I asked about an old Chinese doctor before, but he went back to his hometown to visit relatives. He came back later, but my family was building a new house and I didn't pay him any attention. I will definitely go tomorrow morning. I must take good care of my body. I want to be healthy!"
Mu Chenze had prepared a lot of words of persuasion, but they were useless.
"Hey! I thought you'd reject it. If I'd known you'd already wanted to take care of your body, I wouldn't have wasted so much time thinking of so many words to persuade you."
Chu Xuan was amused by him and her eyes narrowed into slits.
After laughing, he spoke solemnly, "Mu Chenze, good buddy, thank you!"
Mu Chenze smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, "You're welcome! The tide pool is almost exposed, let's go take a look."
"good."
