Chapter 14 You Didn’t Tell Me Before We Got Married (Xiao Xiu)
Jiang Zhen touched He Shuli's body and saw some memories: "The memories I saw were He Shuli's. Even if Du Qiuyi had tampered with her, I couldn't see it. But before the operation, Du Qiuyi was very concerned about He Shuli. He Shuli treated Du Qiuyi as a close friend. She also said that her sister was not her biological family. If she couldn't get off the operating table, she hoped Du Qiuyi could help find her sister's biological family. The Du Qiuyi in the memory had a strange expression, as if she knew He Shuli's sister's life experience."
Gu Liancheng suddenly thought: "The predecessor of Fancheng Hospital was the privately-run Baoji Hospital. Fourteen years ago, Du Qiuyi had not yet gone abroad and was doing an internship at Fancheng Hospital. Could it be that she was transferred? At that time, Du Qiuyi was only a teenager. If she did it, what was her motive?"
A solution flashed in Jiang Zhen's eyes: "You find evidence to sentence her to death, and I'll know after touching the body."
Gu Liancheng: ... "Let's take a long-term view."
…
Du Qiuyi was a little nervous. Originally, He Shuli didn't have to die, but she actually knew that her sister was not her biological daughter. If she continued to look for her, with the ability of the Wan family, they would definitely find clues of the swap, and the consequences would be disastrous.
The business of swapping children has been going on for decades. They select wealthy families to swap their children with, and when the children inherit the family property, they must donate half of it. More than ten years ago, her master accepted her as an apprentice. At that time, in order to practice, she exchanged He Shuli's sister with the daughter of the dean's wife to practice. Later, the master was hit by a shell and suffered divine punishment. She went abroad again, and the business was completely cut off.
In the past six months since she returned to China, she decided to start her business again, but plans cannot keep up with changes, so she decided to give up. As for those who made the wrong choices, let them continue to make mistakes.
…
Gu Liancheng still had one day of wedding leave, and he said to Jiang Zhen, "Winter in Fancheng is very cold. Let's go to the market tomorrow and stock up on winter supplies and buy everything we need."
Jiang Zhen had wanted to buy some pots and pans to put in the space, so he quickly agreed. The next day, Gu Liancheng drove a light truck over with the four children and carried the children into the truck.
Jiang Zhen was surprised: "You are not from the army, are you suitable?"
Gu Liancheng explained with a smile: "My grandfather has a textile branch in Fancheng, which is run by my uncle. The trucks were imported from abroad a few years ago along with the machines. There are two trucks. When liberation came, one was donated to the transport team, and the factory kept one."
Although the property was to be transferred from private to public in 1953, it could still be used for personal use before that.
Gu Liancheng's mother's family is a wealthy family. Jiang Zhen was a little nervous: "You didn't tell me before we got married."
When Gu Liancheng was going on a blind date and getting married, he had just been reborn. What he was thinking about was not material things, but how to keep his family safe.
He said, "My uncle's family is also in trouble. Before my mother passed away, she told my siblings and me not to share the spinning mill with my uncle's family."
Jiang Zhen rubbed her hands. She didn't feel comfortable giving any opinions about the things in Gu Liancheng's house.
Gu Liancheng looked at Jiang Zhen's regretful expression and asked, "Do you want to split up?"
Jiang Zhen: "I kind of want to, but given our relationship, I'm embarrassed to ask you to compete with your uncle."
She suddenly had an idea: "Could this child swapping be a business? Is your uncle your uncle?"
Gu Liancheng: ... "How can it be such a coincidence? It's impossible."
…
At the market, Jiang Zhen bought some pots and pans and put them in the space when Gu Liancheng was not looking. While shopping, he ran into Dr. Qi who was accompanying An Xiuqing to buy winter supplies.
An Xiuqing took the initiative to greet them: "If I had known you were coming, we would have arranged to go together. Doctor Qi has asked the farmers for a bullock cart, and he can take you with him on the way back."
Gu Liancheng refused coldly: "No, we have a car too."
Seeing the truck parked nearby, An Xiuqing felt frustrated. Gu Liancheng's family was actually very well off. His mother's side of the family was a big capitalist. Gu Liancheng's grandfather started a spinning mill in 1915, and later opened six branches across the country. Now the number has shrunk to three, but before that, the textile business had reached Southeast Asia.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Later in that movement, tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver ingots were seized from the cellar of Gu Liancheng's grandfather's house. In the end, everyone in his family was implicated, some were sent to the cowshed, some fled the country. Gu Liancheng died in his previous life and couldn't see it, but he can see it in this life. Even if Gu Liancheng is reborn, let's see how he can fight against the times.
An Xiuqing felt that Gu Liancheng's indifference showed that he cared about her. She didn't expect that Gu Liancheng still cared about her. But it was useless. She would not get dizzy because of that little bit of care.
The threat between her and Dr. Qi no longer existed, so she no longer cared about the fact that Dr. Qi and He Shuli had actually been in love in their previous life.
…
An Xiuqing was thinking about what to buy for the winter. She remembered that two or three years later, starting from 1953, grain, oil, and meat coupons were implemented, and the purchase and sale of grain, oil, and meat were unified. Small vendors were banned, and everything had to be purchased with coupons.
It’s still better now, when you can buy and sell freely in the market. In the next two years, buy as much as you can.
An Xiuqing took a fancy to a basket of high-quality charcoal and made a fire barrel for the winter. It was very comfortable to curl up in it. She turned around with a smile and wanted to call Doctor Qi, but saw Doctor Qi running to a little girl and heard Doctor Qi talking to the little girl.
"You must be He Shuli's sister, right? I heard her mention that you are the one she is most worried about. She also said that after liberation, girls can also go to school. She can't catch up with the good times, but you can. She said that when she gets better, she will earn money to support you to go to medical school and become a doctor in the future."
The little girl's eyes turned red and she choked up: "Doctor Qi, you are a good person. Thank you for helping my sister and thank you for not looking down on her."
Qi Junhai felt a sour feeling in his throat as he looked at the charcoal in front of her: "My family just happened to need to buy some charcoal for the winter, so I'll take both baskets."
He Shulan thanked him and said, "Thank you, Doctor Qi. I will carry him to you."
When An Xiuqing saw that Doctor Qi had already made the decision, she was very reluctant: "Doctor Qi, the quality of these charcoals is not good."
Qi Junhai quickly told her to keep her voice down: "Stop talking, it will make her sad if she hears it. It's actually the same in practice."
An Xiuqing bit her lip and watched Doctor Qi and the short He Shulan walking shoulder to shoulder, each carrying a basket of charcoal, towards the ox cart. She was immediately filled with resentment. She had already dealt with He Shuli, so why did He Shulan come next?
…
Jiang Zhen asked Gu Liancheng to look: "Look at An Xiuqing's expression, it's a bit scary."
Gu Liancheng saw that An Xiuqing had changed. Ever since she treated her aunt as a genie lamp and had her wishes come true, she had become so strange.
Gu Liancheng took one look and didn't want to look again: "He Shuli's sister is still young, she is not in danger now."
Jiang Zhen nodded: "That's right, removing the fire from under the cauldron, as long as Du Qiuyi dies sooner, it will be more useful than taking precautions."
Gu Liancheng said earnestly: "You promised not to do anything illegal."
Jiang Zhen quickly assured: "I'm not stupid, let's go shopping."
