Chapter 096 Chapter 96 The End of Sun Hongmei
Sun Hongmei was frightened by Lin Yue. She rolled and crawled off the kang, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and chased in the direction of Lin Yue. However, she bumped into someone and her arm was held tightly by him.
Things have been happening one after another at home recently, and Zhang Zhiwei has long been impatient with her. He did not give her face and questioned: "What are you arguing about? Even if I am sick, I can't stop you from making trouble every day!"
Sun Hongmei seemed to have seen the key point, and said excitedly: "She saw it! I told you that the second son of the Lin family saw the mole on my arm that day, and you blamed me for thinking too much! What should we do now? Now that bastard knows, she will definitely not let us go!"
Zhang Zhiwei was also panicked when he heard this. He slapped the woman to the ground and cursed: "You crazy woman, I told you not to meddle in this matter and you didn't listen. You insisted on marrying that little bastard to torture me. Now you are getting your comeuppance!"
Sun Hongmei climbed up and threw herself at Zhang Zhiwei: "You know you're blaming me now? Who was it that helped me do this? I'm being punished, and you can't escape!"
Zhang Zhiwei restrained Sun Hongmei, dragged her to the table, pulled out a pair of scissors from his sewing basket, and stabbed her arm, cursing, "Shut up! Is this the time to talk about this? I'm going to cut these things out for you now. There's no evidence. Let's see what she can do!"
The two were obviously panicking. Lin Yue had only said that one sentence, and before he could say anything else, he was frightened out of his wits. His mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think normally. Zhang Zhiwei's hand holding the scissors was steady, but after he stabbed, it was still off-position. The wound was deep and large, and blood immediately flowed to the ground.
The two were so panicked that they only cared about themselves, not caring about the four outsiders standing in the room. The four were so frightened by the two's actions that they screamed and wanted to run out the door.
But they couldn't get out. Lin Yue and Zhang Yuandong and their group just happened to rush over, followed by several officers from the brigade, and they blocked the door tightly.
Heart-wrenching screams came from the house, and the group looked inside, all of them opened their mouths in shock at the scene inside. Zhang Zhiwei, who had completely changed his honest image, grabbed Sun Hongmei's arm with a ferocious look on his face, holding a pair of scissors that were still dripping with blood, and stabbed Sun Hongmei's arm without a care.
Sun Hongmei was so scared that she collapsed on the ground, and she could only scream and shout. She didn't even notice that her pants were soaked. Several men rushed into the house and separated the two. Zhang Zhiwei still had a fierce look on his face, and he kept muttering: "Just cut off these moles. You have no evidence, no evidence... I don't want to go to prison, I don't want to be a labor reform prisoner..."
Lin Yue knew that the two were terribly frightened. Zhang Xiaohui had been arrested and there was no news of her, and Zhang Xiaoxi had been sent to a labor camp. These two incidents were somewhat related to Lin Yue, and they were afraid that they would also be arrested, so they were thrown into disarray by Lin Yue's simple words.
In fact, it was very difficult for Lin Yue to sue them. It had been more than 20 years since the incident, and she had no evidence. As long as they insisted that they did not do it, the police would be helpless. This was also the reason why Lin Yue had guessed that it was Sun Hongmei who abducted the original owner, but had not taken any action.
Now that the two of them had exposed themselves, Lin Yue took the opportunity to cry, "You are so cruel! I have no grudges against you, why did you steal me away from my biological parents!"
A group of people in the room were whispering and talking at the same time, looking at the two people with contempt and disbelief. The buying and selling of children has been a common practice since ancient times. There were several families nearby who gave away their children willingly because one family had too many children to raise and another family wanted a son. Although it was wrong, it was not to the extent of stealing someone else's child and selling it, which would be called kidnapping!
In the minds of these people with weak legal awareness, selling one's own children is not illegal, but kidnapping is definitely illegal. Looking at the couple, especially Zhang Zhiwei who usually looks honest and decent, I didn't expect them to be so brave!
Zhang Zhiqiang no longer had any hope for the couple, so he asked, "Besides her, how many other times have you done this?"
The two men regained consciousness, but still insisted, "No, we have never done anything illegal! Don't accuse us!"
Zhang Yuandong didn't want to get entangled with them any more, so he made a decision immediately: "Call the police and let the public security bureau handle it!"
Zhang Zhiqiang and other officers were reluctant to call the police, but they knew they couldn't stop the two men, so they simply kept silent and let them do what they wanted. However, Lin Yue stopped them and said word by word, "Before calling the police, write down the certificate of severing the relationship first!"
Everyone in the room turned their heads and looked at Lin Yue in disbelief, as if they didn't believe she could say such a thing. Zhang Zhiqiang scolded, "Don't be ridiculous! How can children sever ties with their parents? If this gets out, will Far East's future be in jeopardy?"
Lin Yue said firmly: "Uncle, you should know that with such parents holding us back, Far East's future is doomed! Look at how much trouble they have caused behind our backs in the past few years. We are really afraid of them and don't want to have anything to do with them anymore!"
Zhang Yuandong nodded, took out two certificates and a pen from his pocket, and said, "Uncle, today I hope you can be a witness for us. From now on, I will have nothing to do with these two people. Our names are already written, and all that's missing is their signatures."
The people in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. At this point, what was there to not understand? These two men had made all the preparations, and they couldn't stop them even if they wanted to.
After hearing the conversation between the two people, Sun Hongmei's brain finally started to work normally. She broke free from Zhang Zhiwei's hand, crawled over madly, and rushed towards Zhang Yuandong, cursing: "You unfilial son, I am your mother! You dare to break off relations with me, you will be struck by lightning!"
Zhang Yuandong dodged and said expressionlessly, "I know more. Do you want me to tell you everything? Then, you two will be sentenced even more severely!" He turned to Zhang Zhiwei with a sharp look in his eyes, which frightened Zhang Zhiwei so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He remembered the last time they went to make trouble with Lin Yue, Zhang Yuandong called him a "filial son", and he felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know how much this cheap son knew, but he didn't dare to offend him easily again.
Zhang Zhiwei snatched the two thin pieces of paper, pressed his handprints on the blood that could not be stopped on Sun Hongmei's arm, and forced Sun Hongmei to press her handprints on the severance letter as well. His face was no longer honest and sincere, and he said viciously: "Since you want to sever ties so much, then I will satisfy you! Unfilial sons like you will sooner or later suffer..." He thought of something, but didn't dare to say the rest of the words, "But we will not admit any of the crimes you accuse me and my wife of! It's useless even if you call the police!"
Lin Yue knew that Zhang Zhiwei was telling the truth, and it was indeed useless to report to the police. The police took the man away at night, but because there was no solid evidence, they could not convict him based on just three red moles. Sun Hongmei and Zhang Zhiwei insisted that it was not done by the two of them, and their reaction at the time was just a stress reaction because they were afraid that Lin Yue would slander them.
Because of insufficient evidence and the fact that it had been so long, the two were finally released on the third day after Zhang Yuandong left. However, the good news was that although the evidence against the two of them was insufficient, the evidence against the second son of the Lin family was conclusive, and he was convicted smoothly.
After being arrested, Zhang Zhiwei suddenly looked much older and became timid when meeting people. He always avoided people for fear of hearing others talking about him. Sun Hongmei became seriously ill and could not get up. Because the old couple did not dare to let the twin brothers know about this, there was no one to take care of her at home. Soon, Sun Hongmei became so thin that she was unrecognizable.
The last time Lin Yue saw Sun Hongmei was a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After the Spring Festival, not long after Zhang Yuandong left, Lin Yue found out that she was pregnant. The birth of this child came so suddenly that Zhang Yuandong made three consecutive calls to the village after hearing the news.
He was very scared. The real Lin Yue died on the day she gave birth, so he had never planned to have another child. Since he established a relationship with Lin Yue, he shamelessly went to the county hospital to learn a lot of knowledge and bought birth control products, but the child still came unexpectedly.
Lin Yue was very optimistic. Although she had no plans to have children, she was not so disgusted with this matter. She even laughed on the phone and said, "No contraceptive method is foolproof, not to mention that the workmanship of those things nowadays is not good. If there is any method that really works, it may be to be a widow like I did in the past three years. You want that, but I don't!"
Zhang Yuandong was not used to such a straightforward and fiery way of speaking, and he stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence on the other end of the phone.
After teasing him enough, Lin Yue mercifully comforted him: "Think about my ability, how could anything go wrong with me? This child will definitely be born smoothly!"
She said it in an obscure way, but Zhang Yuandong understood. He was still worried, and every month he gave some money to Aunt Su and Aunt Zhang, asking them to take good care of Lin Yue. He used almost all of his monthly allowance to buy supplements and send them back. The people in the post office were greatly impressed, and even in the small county town, there was a saying: "Men should join the army, and they can earn more by defending their country! Girls should marry soldiers, because soldiers are kind!" The enlistment rate in the county town increased this year.
Time flies, and Lin Yue's belly gradually becomes rounder. Since she has no worries, her complexion is even better. However, in order to avoid trouble, her skin is still covered with makeup.
A few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two brothers Zhang Shouren and Zhang Shouyi finally came back from the county town. They had not been back for a long time since they had a big fight with Zhang Zhiwei during the New Year. Later, they came back to see Sun Hongmei when they knew that she was seriously ill. There were too many rumors in the village, and Zhang Zhiwei and Sun Hongmei did not dare to let them come back because the two sons were too upright. They were afraid that one of them would be in trouble, so the two sons cut off their relationship with them.
The two of them came back this time because Sun Hongmei was about to die.
If we were to ask who Sun Hongmei hated the most in the entire Xiaotian Village, it would definitely be Lin Yue. However, during her last period of unconsciousness, the name she kept repeating in her mouth, which others could hear clearly, was still Lin Yue's name. The two brothers thought that she knew that she didn't have much time left and was sincerely repenting, so they quickly called Lin Yue over.
The moment Sun Hongmei saw her, hatred flashed in her eyes. She propped herself up and sat up from the kang as if she had a last burst of energy. She cursed at Lin Yue with the most vicious words in the world and looked at him as if she wanted to eat her alive.
"You are exactly the same as your lowly mother. It was the old lady who betrothed me to the young master first. But because she said she didn't want a concubine when she got married, the young master never allowed me to get close to him again! Why? I was personally betrothed by the old lady. It is only natural for me to stay with the young master! Humph, is it so great to have a good family background? No matter how good Zhou Xiaomin's family background is, she is still a hen that can't lay eggs!"
Lin Yue stood in front of the kang indifferently, looking at this woman who was already terminally ill but still crazy and hopeless, and listened to her vicious words with an expressionless face.
"Haha, you said I stole you and sold you, and that I was cruel. I don't think I was cruel enough. Your father knew that I took the medicine, but he still kicked me out. Didn't he think about what I would go through? And your mother, she pretends to be gentle and kind every day, showing off in front of me! But even if I hate them to death, I still chose a good family for you, at least let you live to grow up, right?"
"But I regret it. I regretted it when Young Master came here. You are the child of that bitch Zhou Xiaomin. How can I let you live so comfortably? I will get you to my side and torture you day and night, so that you and the little bastard in your belly will all die miserably!"
She stared at Lin Yue's belly with resentment, her mind began to become chaotic, as if she had returned to four years ago, on the eve of Lin Yue giving birth to the dragon and phoenix twins. She suddenly rushed towards Lin Yue and said viciously: "You and the greyhound are both bastards, and the two in your belly are also little bastards. The little bastards should all die!"
The two brothers recovered from their shock and instinctively went to stop them. But Lin Yue never needed help from others and had already stepped back. And because no one stopped her, Sun Hongmei fell straight off the kang and lay on the ground, twitching non-stop. It seemed that she was about to die.
Zhang Shouren and Zhang Shouyi were shocked to see all this. They had heard vaguely about the unpleasant quarrel between their parents and their eldest brother and his wife, but they were rarely at home and no one would talk to the two half-grown boys, so they had never known what the problem was. Recently, they found that their mother was really ill, and they could not bear to ignore her, so they often came back to see them, but they did not expect to know the shocking things. They felt that their minds were in a mess, and they even forgot to help Sun Hongmei up from the ground.
Lin Yue glanced at her indifferently, and turned away without hesitation. She would not expect a vicious person to wake up before dying. A vicious person will remain vicious until death. When she walked into the yard, she saw Zhang Zhiwei squatting in the corner and sneered. Sun Hongmei was hateful, but this seemingly honest man was not a good person either.
Perhaps death is the greatest relief for him, and living like this, half-human, half-ghost, living in fear and being criticized by others every day, with all his children leaving him, is the best punishment for him.
