"Wait a moment, let me catch my breath."
Alas! Life, you are full of sins, I want to beat you a thousand times over!
Song Yan patted her heart to steady it.
Song Yan found this matter unbelievable, but Chang Xiaohu acted much more composed.
Song Yan had heard of all sorts of bizarre and tragic events before, but to see them happening around him was still unimaginable, so he was quite shocked. Chang Xiaohu, on the other hand, had probably witnessed many similar things firsthand, so he remained relatively calm.
"When did you hear that?" Song Yan asked again.
“When I was at Liu Shitou’s house, I heard my mother and Liu Shitou’s mother talking inside the house,” Chang Xiaohu said.
"What did you hear?" Song Yan asked.
"First, I'll ask you, where did you steal your child from?" Liu Shitou's mother didn't want to admit it, saying that his mother was talking nonsense.
Mother said that Wei Ping's grandfather said it himself, so let Liu Shitou's mother tell the truth.
She didn't want to talk about it. Her mother said her godfather kept bringing it up in her dreams.
Liu Shitou's mother wanted to see a doctor back then. She had all the money in the house with her... At that time, Liu Shitou kept talking to me, and I could only hear bits and pieces of what he said. It seemed like he was saying that the child's father was a soldier, and he was covered in blood at the time, apparently wounded, which was why he asked Liu Shitou's mother to hold the child for a while, and that he would come back to find the child later...
The child's swaddle was covered in blood, and Liu Shitou's mother was so frightened that she wrapped the bloody parts of the swaddle inside.
It seems there were bad guys chasing the child's father at night, and quite a few people were shooting. The child's father is very likely dead.
Liu Shitou's mother dreamed of having a boy. At the crack of dawn, she carried her child and ran back to their production brigade.
Liu Shitou's mother didn't want anyone to find her child, so she burned all of the child's belongings... Oh, right, it seems the child was stolen in Hu County.
Liu Shitou's mother's child was not only stolen, but also very likely the orphan of a martyr. "This woman is utterly wicked. How is she still alive and well? Why didn't God kill her?" Song Yan didn't usually curse, but now he wanted to unleash a torrent of abuse on Liu Shitou's mother.
"When Mother insisted on visiting Liu Shitou's mother, she said there was something she wanted to ask. Only Liu Shitou's mother knew, and if she died, she wouldn't be able to find out. That must be what she was talking about." Song Yan felt her head was about to explode. What was the point of her mother-in-law still asking about something that had happened over 20 years ago? The child was dead. She said Wei Ping's grandfather had appeared to her in a dream, but Song Yan didn't believe it.
What is the connection between Lao Zeng and Liu Shitou's mother?
What sins did Lu Xingtian mention about Liu Shitou's family in the past? Whom is Lu Xingtian trying to avenge?
There is definitely no content related to this in the original work. After Wei Aiguo died, the Wei family affairs were limited to Wei Ping and Wei An. Wei Xiaogu was never mentioned.
Wei Aiguo went to the army and was no longer in the Qingshan Brigade. His original fate of dying young should be rewritten. Thinking of this, Song Yan felt an overwhelming sadness, and his face turned pale.
Chang Xiaohu was startled. "Second sister-in-law, it's all my fault for telling you these dirty things. You've never encountered anything like this before, were you scared? I'll never say it again next time."
"No, no! It has nothing to do with you. I'm just really angry. They're so despicable. I'm really fine. I need to find out what happened to them. If Liu Shitou's mother is allowed to live comfortably, then God is being too unfair," Song Yan said bitterly.
Thinking about Wei Aiguo's ending in the original novel, Song Yan lost all motivation to work today.
Wei Ping's fate has changed, and Grandma Wei's leg has been saved. Old Liao is also fine this spring! Xiao Xiao's reputation is safe and sound. Wei Aiguo should be alright too; everyone will be alright…
Because of this incident, Song Yan put aside all his questions about Wei Xiaogu stealing the child. He stopped thinking about things he couldn't understand.
Song Yan received many letters one after another.
Mr. Song wrote to say that Ms. Song is basically no longer experiencing morning sickness, but since her leave hasn't lasted three months yet, she can continue to rest at home.
The letter said that Old Master Song's family is now very well-behaved. Old Madam Song has returned. She wants to live with her second son's family, but Old Master Song refuses to allow it.
Whenever Tang Baojuan had time, she would visit her home and give the old lady Song, whom she wanted to befriend, a thorough dressing-down.
Xiaoxiao's family also wrote a letter, which inevitably brought up the Song family's affairs.
The Song army also sent a letter.
By piecing together the letters, the sequence of events became clear.
The training conferences at the machinery factory were more serious than ever before, one after another. After half a month of these conferences, Song Cheng and his colleagues were thoroughly humiliated.
After the education conference, they were all transferred from their original positions.
Song Cheng and He Changshun both went to the forging workshop. The forging workshop not only required working in high temperatures, but it was also very tiring, and the wages were only a few yuan higher.
He Xiaofen used to work on the production line at the towel factory, but she was reassigned to the more strenuous loading and unloading group as a loader. Her wages were also reduced.
Songcheng's wife was also reassigned from a skilled worker to a cleaner, and her original salary of over twenty yuan dropped to just over ten yuan.
These people were indeed educated, and even when their job positions were changed, they had no objections and dared not show any reluctance.
Just then, Old Mrs. Song returned. She was incredibly thin. She wanted to eat something better to nourish herself.
Song Cheng and his wife both had their wages reduced, and their family was still in debt. They wanted to eat well, but where would they get the money? They couldn't afford meat, and they couldn't bear to eat vegetables; every day it was just pickled vegetables.
Song Laosan also felt he couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to eat something good, so his brother asked him for money.
If Song Laoda wasn't afraid of getting a share of the house, he would kick him out right now.
When the eldest son's family ran out of good food, Old Mrs. Song thought of her second son. "It's only right that my son buys me something nice to eat!" she thought. She then sent her third son to intercept the second son. The third son refused to go, so Old Mrs. Song went herself.
Tang Baojuan and Song Laoda's neighbors said to keep an eye on Old Mrs. Song. In case the old lady acts up, they should try to stop her. Song Lao Er's wife is so old; having a child isn't easy for her!
It was just a small thing, and besides, Old Mrs. Song went too far by taking it so seriously.
Grandma Song wasn't very popular and didn't like visiting people's homes, but she suddenly went to the apartment complex.
Oh dear, so they're looking for trouble!
The Tang family and the Song family lived in the east and west courtyards, and Song Lao Er's wife knew perfectly well what kind of life she had led before. The old lady hadn't stopped causing trouble since she came out.
No sooner had the old lady left than Tang Jian's daughter-in-law said she was going to find trouble.
