“We definitely didn’t write it. Who would dare to write something like that? Could it be that someone deliberately put it in our house and then reported it to the Revolutionary Committee, sending someone to our house to investigate?” Mr. Luo said.
Luo Jingyan nodded: "Mom, that's exactly what you said."
“Anyone who can come into our house and leave things here must be someone who knows us very well, because outsiders simply cannot do such a thing,” said Mrs. Luo.
After saying that, the two of them fell into deep thought.
Especially Mr. Luo, who kept his head down and nervously gripped his trouser leg. Although she couldn't see his expression, Luo Jingyan could still sense his pain and helplessness, and perhaps even regret.
Luo's mother said, "Jingyan, do you know who that person is? Tell me."
“It was my aunt and uncle,” Luo Jingyan said. “After you were arrested, my aunt and uncle came to our house and took a lot of things, saying they were afraid we wouldn’t keep them safe and the Revolutionary Committee would search them. That day, I wasn’t feeling well and went home halfway. I overheard my aunt and uncle talking outside the door. During their conversation, they confessed to framing you. At least those reactionary documents were placed in your study by my uncle, who then reported them. His brother-in-law is Gao Tieshan, who holds a high position of power. That’s why you didn’t even have a chance to catch your breath when you were arrested, and we couldn’t even see you because Gao Tieshan was pulling the strings behind the scenes.”
After Luo Jingyan finished speaking, both Luo's father and mother were filled with grief and indignation, especially Luo's father, who lowered his head even further.
Mrs. Luo sighed, not blaming Mr. Luo. It wasn't his fault; she knew he certainly didn't want it to be this way.
“Zhenhua, now you see their true colors, don’t you? Your sister and brother-in-law are no good people. We used to help them so much, and all that money is better spent on the dogs. I hate them. From now on, we’re cutting all ties with them and never seeing them again. Just pretend you never had a sister.”
When Mr. Luo heard his wife cursing his sister, he didn't say anything, just nodded, but still didn't raise his head.
Anyone would find it hard to accept knowing they were framed by their closest loved one; they need time to process and accept it.
Mrs. Luo said, "Your father thought they would help take care of you and your brother, but who knew they were such wicked people and the culprits behind this. Your father and I helped them so much before, but we never expected to raise such an ungrateful family who repay our kindness with enmity. That Gao Tieshan is capable, but he was never kind to them before. They were just relying on our family, and once they had someone to rely on, they started to cheat us."
“Mom, don’t be angry. Before we went to the countryside, I heard that Gao Tieshan was arrested for embezzlement, and my aunt and uncle were also arrested for some reason. Li Hongying went to the countryside, so at least they have received their retribution, which makes us feel a little better.”
She couldn't reveal the real reason those people were arrested, but she hoped that knowing the bad guys were punished would make her feel better.
Hearing this news, Luo's mother's mood indeed improved.
"The wicked will get their just deserts; that's their fate."
Mr. Luo remained silent, but Luo Jingyan heard him let out a long sigh of relief, which must have made him feel relieved.
Luo's parents don't have much firewood yet, but Luo Jingyan has some in her space, though she can't take it out. After all, it's not realistic to bring too much stuff over at once.
No one came to patrol that night, and they chatted for a while longer before Luo Jingyan left.
Li Hongying had been married into the Liu family for several days. At first, she refused to sleep with Liu Aiguo, claiming that she was menstruating. Liu Aiguo did not force her, and she felt that Liu Aiguo was easy to manipulate.
Her purpose in marrying Liu Aiguo was to get closer to Zhuang Feifei. However, because of her marriage to Liu Aiguo, Lu Chengye did not pick up Zhuang Feifei on the day she arrived, so Zhuang Feifei has not yet met Lu Chengye.
How can she get close to Zhuang Feifei?
She had to find a reasonable reason so that the other party wouldn't have the slightest suspicion about her.
Li Hongying was at a loss for what to do.
On the third day after Luo's parents arrived, Luo Jingyan took Luo Changtian to see them.
Luo Changtian nestled in his mother's arms and cried like a child.
Luo Jingyan laughed and said, "Xiao Tian, who said he's a man now? A grown man is crying like this, aren't you ashamed?"
"Hahahaha." The other three people laughed along with Luo Changtian.
Luo Changtian rubbed his eyes with his hand and laughed.
"I saw my parents! I'm so happy. Those were tears of excitement, tears of happiness. Humph, who says men can't cry? Tears aren't just for women. I can cry whenever I want."
"Let it flow, just don't let it flood Mom and Dad's place."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"If I can't create a flood, I'll just wash my face with my tears."
"You even use your tears to bathe, wash your clothes, wash your shoes, and wash your smelly socks."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The atmosphere of the family together was very warm, filled with laughter, which even made the temperature in the whole house rise a little.
Mrs. Luo said, "With the two of you here, I feel just like I'm at home."
"Wherever our family is, that's our home," said Mr. Luo, a warm and happy smile on his face.
When Luo's mother saw this, she felt truly comforted. During the two months they spent in Beijing after being arrested, they were always frowning and worried. Compared to their current mood, it was like the difference between hell and heaven.
Luo Changtian first snuggled in his mother's arms, then snuggled in his father's arms.
Mrs. Luo smiled and shook her head, playfully scolding, "You really are just a child. When will you grow up?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Changtian immediately got up from his father's arms, stood up straight on the ground, his body stiffened, and his tone became serious.
"Mom and Dad, this is the last time I'll act like a child. I'm growing up soon, and I'm going to be a strong and upright man."
The group found him quite comical and burst into laughter again.
Mr. Luo stood in front of him and gestured to show his height. “Your head only reaches my chest. You’re far from being a man. Let alone being able to stand tall and strong. If the sky were to fall, you wouldn’t be able to hold it up. You’d need taller people to support you.”
Luo Jingyan said, "You can only be considered a man when you turn eighteen."
Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian were afraid that others would discover their relationship with Luo's parents, so just like before, they didn't dare to stay in the cowshed for long. After a while, they reluctantly left the cowshed.
At night, when all was quiet, a pure white cat jumped out of the female educated youth dormitory. It walked gracefully in the snow, its white fur making it almost blend into the snow.
Where it passes, it leaves behind a row of pretty little plum blossoms.
Black Tiger was sleeping soundly in Luo Jingyan's arms when it suddenly woke up and opened its eyes. It moved its body, waking Luo Jingyan as well. "Black Tiger, what's wrong?"
