The brigade leader's wife suddenly started showing concern for the educated youth, which Sun, the educated youth, found strange.
The brigade leader's family was the object of the educated youth's flattery. Before the brigade leader's wife entered the house, some educated youth greeted and chatted with her in a very obsequious manner.
Du Xiaomei didn't have much stuff at all; Sun Zhiqing had already looked through Du Xiaomei's things before the brigade leader's wife came in.
There was a sealed letter under her clothes, which Sun Zhiqing put away.
She only took out the letter after Lao Du regained his identity.
There wasn't a single word written on the envelope, and Sun Zhiqing never read what was written inside...
In her letter, Du Xiaomei recounted how she had been bullied by the brigade leader's son and how she had become pregnant.
The Du father and son were heartbroken and bleeding when they read the letter!
How could Lao Du not seek justice for his daughter?
Sun, the educated youth, and the educated youth who was behind Du Xiaomei when she had the accident were all still in the brigade.
If we want them to dare to speak and testify, we must first get them out of the brigade.
In order to seek justice for Du Xiaomei, the Du father and son have been struggling for more than a year.
Du Xiaomei was indeed bullied by the brigade leader's son. The brigade leader's eldest son has three daughters and no sons. What if Du Xiaomei was carrying a son?
Moreover, the young and beautiful educated youth were much prettier than the wives from the countryside. The team leader's son didn't want his own wife anymore and wanted to marry Du Xiaomei instead.
Du Xiaomei was definitely not willing; she wanted to find a chance to escape. Their place was remote, inaccessible by car, and to get out, one had to walk dozens of miles along mountain paths.
There are wolves in the mountains; one cannot travel alone on mountain paths. Du Xiaomei must wait for an opportunity to escape.
Du Xiaomei didn't get a chance; she was pushed into a ditch by the team leader's daughter-in-law. The educated youth behind Du Xiaomei saw it all clearly.
The reason is that if she dies, the captain's daughter-in-law won't have to get a divorce.
It happened several years ago, and there was a lack of physical evidence, so it took more than a year to find out the truth.
None of those who deserved punishment escaped.
They also dug up a history of illegal activities committed by the team leader's family. The team leader's son and daughter-in-law were both sentenced to death. The team leader and his wife won't fare well either; they'll likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Justice has been served, but the deceased is gone.
Once the verdict was announced, the last breath that had been holding onto Lao Du dissipated, and he fell seriously ill again.
His family took meticulous care of him, and he was also nourished by Song Yan's medicine. So everyone saw Old Du again.
These past few years of chaos have caused everyone a great deal of suffering.
Old Han's wife and Old Liao's wife both did not make it through.
Everyone had suffered hardship or lost loved ones, and the atmosphere became somber.
Song Yan looked left and right. "No matter what, we're all still here, and life is getting better and better. You should all take good care of yourselves and enjoy the rest of your lives!"
"Leaving aside the future, I think it's a pretty good deal right now!"
This girl is good at making food; I eat like it's Chinese New Year every day!
"Don't leave, all of you. Stay here and let these girls give you a good boost!" Old Zeng's booming voice immediately lifted everyone's spirits.
"Yes, I haven't eaten fish jelly that Xiaoyan makes since I left the brigade!"
"I tried making it myself once, but it just didn't taste the same!" Old Liao steered the conversation away from the topic.
"You know, she really knows how to find good deals. I couldn't find apples that sweet and fragrant even in Kyoto!" Old Han swallowed hard as he talked about food.
Song Yan didn't dare to reply this time; there were no more apples.
Both of them were people who had weathered many storms. Old Du had run into a close friend, so he confided his troubles. After speaking, he knew it was time to let go of the matter.
Then everyone started discussing what to eat tomorrow and where to go for a stroll.
The four of them put aside their past suffering; the past was past, and the deceased were gone. They decided to live each remaining day to the fullest.
They simply kicked Shen Qian, Song Yan, and Du Guoliang out.
Shen Qian took Song Yan's hand and led him back to his room.
Shen Qian held Song Yan in his arms.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Du Xiaomei has no one to help her; she is very unfortunate."
I'm so lucky to have you...
I joined the army, thus avoiding an early death.
If it weren't for this, my father would have spent his whole life searching for his son in vain.
My uncle's two children are a selfish and self-centered person, and the other is not his biological child. In the end, he will also be without any relatives by his side.
The mother was even worse off; both of her sons died young, and she couldn't even save her grandson...
Without you, those people would have suffered terribly, and their health would probably have been ruined.
Xiaoyan..."
"Um?"
"It's so good to have you!"
