Chapter 234: Pudong News
Across the river is Pudong's Lujiazui, a place that makes Lin Siqiao have a heart attack every time he sees it.
So whenever Lin Siqiao passed by here, he would subconsciously avoid looking at it.
Today, when his mind was clear, he accidentally glanced at the opposite side, which reminded Lin Siqiao of something.
On the piece of letter that the Qiu family had asked their aunt to send over, in addition to a map, there was also an address - Lannidu Road.
Lin Siqiao, an old Shanghainese, was stunned when he first saw the address.
She thought for a long time but couldn't remember there was such a road in Shanghai.
Moreover, the painting drawn by Qiu Mingze was also very abstract, so Lin Siqiao couldn't guess it and didn't think much about it.
Anyway, it's in Shanghai, so I can just ask around when I get back.
Now looking at it from this angle, Lin Siqiao suddenly discovered that the location marked on the picture looked 80% similar to the lush green land on the opposite bank.
In the 1980s, it was Lujiazui. The green area was Pudong Park. She quickly took out the letter paper from the inside of her bag, and after comparing it, it was indeed this place.
“…”
Lin Siqiao was at a loss for words when he heard the news. Who could have imagined that Lannidu Road would be the most valuable core area of Lujiazui Financial City in the future - Yincheng Middle Road!
The green space on the opposite bank was where the famous Oriental Pearl Tower was located.
Glancing at the time, he saw that there were still several hours left before departure in the afternoon. Since he was already here, Lin Siqiao went straight to the Luyan Line Ferry not far away.
At that time, there was no cross-river bridge on the Huangpu River. The only way to go to the other side was by ferry, which was not expensive and cost only 6 cents.
After investing in the Huangpu River Ferry chips in Puxi, you don’t need to pay any more for the return trip to Pudong.
It was not rush hour, so there were not many people on the ferry. Twenty minutes later, Lin Siqiao followed the crowd and got off the boat.
When she stepped onto the muddy road, Lin Siqiao finally realized how practical the name was.
There are dilapidated factories and shanty towns on both sides of the road, and all kinds of domestic waste are thrown casually on the roadside.
It wasn't raining, but the road was muddy.
Lin Siqiao looked down at the foul-smelling mud on the soles of his shoes and felt so sad that he could not even cry.
She now finally understood the saying circulating in Shanghai - I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a house in Pudong!
Half an hour later, Lin Siqiao finally found his destination.
Looking at the big words "Pudong Park" in front of me, I compared it with the map drawn by Qiu Mingze.
Lin Siqiao was stunned in Pudong Park. Could it be that the Qiu family buried something in the park?
Come to think of it, this is not impossible. After all, Huangpu Work-Study School is opposite the park, and next to it are the United Woolen Mill and the Xinxin Machinery Factory.
There are security departments at the entrance of these places, so it is probably impossible to hide things there.
only……
Lin Siqiao looked carefully at the position of the five-pointed star on the picture. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the marked location looked like the park's ticket office.
With doubts, Lin Siqiao walked over.
Pudong is remote, and it was winter, so there was no one in front of the ticket office, and there was only one ticket seller inside.
The other person might also be very bored and is reading a newspaper with his head down.
"Hello, comrade."
Lin Siqiao knocked on the glass lightly, and the other party subconsciously put away the newspaper after hearing the sound.
"Buying tickets? 3 cents a ticket, no time limit."
As he spoke, the other party opened the glass window and raised his head.
Lin Siqiao paused while taking out the money. This man's facial features looked at least 60% similar to those of Qiu's father.
Especially the eyebrows and eyes, they look exactly like they were carved from the same mold.
Seeing that Lin Siqiao was looking at him, the other party couldn't help but frowned.
"Little comrade, are you still buying tickets?"
After Lin Siqiao looked around to make sure there was no one around, he lowered his voice and spoke.
"Do you... do you know Qiu Mingze?"
"Who are you……"
Lin Siqiao didn't expect that the other party would be so excited when hearing this name, and he stood up suddenly.
After a moment, she opened the door and welcomed Lin Siqiao in.
"Girl, please sit down."
The other party poured Lin Siqiao a cup of hot water and sat next to him.
"My name is Qiu Ya, and Qiu Mingze is my nephew."
"May I ask, how did you and Mingze know each other?"
Lin Siqiao did not hide anything and spoke of some key points. After Qiu Ya heard what happened to her eldest brother and his family, her eyes instantly turned red.
"How could they do this to my brother? We are capitalists!"
"But every penny our Qiu family earns is worthy of our conscience, not just our own."
"The family's land, factories, and most of the gold have already been donated. What else do they want?"
"My eldest brother is so stupid. He could have just walked away."
"But he was worried about the old employees who followed him. Just the day before he was arrested, he was still arranging a way out for them."
"As a result, it was these people that he was worried about who reported my eldest brother!"
At this point, Qiu Ya smiled sarcastically.
"If they knew, my eldest brother left a large sum of resettlement money for each of them."
"Will they regret it so much that their intestines turn green?"
Lin Siqiao didn't know what to say when he heard this. The one-size-fits-all history was cruel enough.
But how can human hearts be so dirty? No wonder so many people are disappointed.
It can be seen that the relationship between the two siblings is very good.
But Lin Siqiao still couldn’t figure it out. Logically speaking, Chongming Island was not very far from Pudong.
If Qiu Ya wants to help his elder brother, it should be possible.
But after listening to it, Lin Siqiao found that Qiu Ya seemed to know nothing about her elder brother.
But the concern and sadness on her face didn't seem fake, which was very contradictory.
"Girl, are you wondering, since I'm so worried about them, why don't I go and see them?"
"Um."
Lin Siqiao, whose thoughts were seen through, did not feel embarrassed at all and just nodded.
Qiu Ya was not in a hurry to defend herself, but just spoke slowly.
"I was too naive to think that they..."
Did she really not go? No, she has been there many times.
But later Qiu Ya discovered that every time she went there, they tortured her eldest brother more severely.
And the supplies she sent over became the most powerful evidence! Even she herself was taken away and investigated for a long time.
When Qiu Ya came back, she found that her little family had also broken up.
"I know my eldest brother feels sorry for me. Because of the Qiu family incident, my husband and I became estranged, and my children no longer recognize me."
"But I am a girl from the Qiu family. When the Qiu family was doing well, they rushed to get married to me."
"When they were enjoying the benefits of the Qiu family, they kept silent. Now that our Qiu family has fallen, they want to cut off all ties with us immediately."
"What's the point of having a husband like this and children like this?"
"Later, my eldest brother never let me go again, and just told me to help him keep those things safe.
When she said this, Qiu Ya wiped away her tears, took Lin Siqiao's hand, and said with gratitude.
"Let's not talk about this, girl. Thank you for coming here today to tell me this."
"Thank you and your family for taking care of them."
"We, the Qiu family, will always remember your great kindness."
"Aunt Qiu, you don't have to be so polite."
After figuring out the whole story, Lin Siqiao breathed a sigh of relief, she said frankly.
"The reason why our two families have crossed paths is because Mingze established a good relationship with us first."
"If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be any of these things that happened later."
“We just did what we could.”
"Aunt Qiu, there is no such thing as who owes whom. You really don't have to do this."
Qiu Ya shook her head after hearing this. In recent years, she has seen the fickleness of human nature and knows too well how precious it is to help someone in need.
Without saying anything else, Qiu Ya knew what was going on since the eldest brother had allowed this girl to come.
"Girl, can I see the letter that Xiaoze gave you?"
Lin Siqiao nodded and handed over the note. When Qiu Ya saw the five-pointed star in the center of the picture, she smiled.
