Jiang Cheng and the others stayed in the yard these days and didn't go out to chat with other people in the village. Song Tingzhi went to the town every day, partly to take care of his own business, and partly to carry out orders from his mother and husband.
News in the village is usually a little behind, as people working in the town have to bring back news. Xu Sanniang has always been very curious, so she asked Song Tingzhi to pay more attention to the news and come back to tell her as soon as he has any.
Not only Xu Sanniang, but Jiang Cheng was also extremely curious. In order to satisfy them both, Song Tingzhi naturally did everything he could to satisfy them.
Song Tingzhi heard some useful news that day. When he came back in the evening, he asked Xu Sanniang to prepare some food for him to eat, and then he began to tell Xu Sanniang what he had heard.
It turned out that this incident caused such a big stir because the daughter of a high-ranking official was abducted many years ago. Because of this incident, the official's father and wife cried all day long and passed away within a few years. Later, even after their son became successful, he never gave up looking for news of his sister.
The investigation took many years, and after much difficulty, they found some clues that led them to Lihua Village, where they arrested a bunch of people.
"What a poor girl!" Xu Sanniang sighed.
Originally, this girl should have lived a life of wealth and glory, but after encountering such a thing, her life is over. Even if she is found, after so many years, everything has changed.
"Then have you heard what that person's last name is?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"I think his surname is Zhang..." Song Tingzhi recalled it briefly and said uncertainly.
"Zhang? That's a common surname!" Jiang Cheng didn't think too much about it. Not only is Zhang common in the whole country, but there are also many people with the surname Zhang in their town.
Don’t they have one at home?
"Well, it is said that the girl's brother came here a few years ago. After coming here, he had some suspicions, and then he went back and investigated for a long time before he found some clues!" So far, Song Tingzhi told all the news he heard from the town.
Xu Sanniang let him go only when she saw that he really had no other news. Seeing this, Song Tingzhi quickly took Jiang Cheng away. If they didn't leave now, they would probably not be able to leave soon!
"Why are you so scared?" Jiang Cheng teased him when he came out of the woodshed.
"Oh..." Song Tingzhi sighed. It was really scary when a woman started gossiping!

Most of the people involved in the trafficking were executed three days later, but Niu Er was sentenced to ten years in prison. Because he was an accomplice and also reported the crimes of other accomplices, his punishment was slightly lighter.
But how many decades can a person have in his life? Niu Er is about to turn thirty, and it is still unknown what will happen after ten years!
Zhang Ermei was relieved to know that Niu Er was sentenced to ten years instead of death. She hated Niu Er, but so what! He was so good to An Mei, if that incident hadn't happened, Zhang Ermei wouldn't have wanted this to happen!
Now that she knows the result, Zhang Ermei wants to take the money Niu Er gave her and find a new place to live with Anmei. Anmei is still young and needs a healthy environment.
She was afraid that Anmei would be bullied one day if she continued living here. Adults were fine, but the malice of children was the hardest to avoid!
Zhang Ermei told her idea to Mrs. Qian, who initially thought she was being silly! She had a place to stay at home, so why would she move out? What a waste of money!
But after Zhang Ermei talked to her, Mrs. Qian felt that it would be peaceful for the two of them to live outside. Zhang Ermei was temporarily living in her parents' home, so Ah Xiang naturally wouldn't say anything, but conflicts were inevitable over time!
Ah Xiang is a quick-witted person, and you can’t be sure if she will say something bad to the child!
"If you want to move out, just move out! I won't stop you! But have you decided where to move to?" Mrs. Qian knew that Niu Er would definitely leave some money for Zhang Ermei to live on, so she didn't ask much. She was just curious about where she would live!
"I plan to live in town. Few people in town know about Anmei's father, and it will also give Anmei a better environment. I asked Jiang Cheng, and there are vacant houses in the alley where he lives. I will choose a smaller one to live in first, and then do some work to make a living, so that I can eventually raise her!"
Zhang Ermei had thought about all this long before Niu Er was arrested. She also took the time to ask Jiang Cheng about it, so she came up with a plan.
"That's fine! As long as you have a plan!" Mrs. Qian felt relieved to hear that her plan was very thorough, so she followed her.
Zhang Ermei plans to move to the town in a few days. The sooner she moves there, the sooner Anmei can avoid hearing rumors.
Jiang Cheng had been at home for quite a while and planned to go back to the shop. Song Tingzhi was now in charge of the shop. Many regular customers asked where Jiang Cheng had been, and Song Tingzhi said he had gone back to his hometown.
Many people were thinking about the tofu made by Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng was happy in his heart. Naturally, he couldn't let down his regular customers.
Xu Sanniang felt that it was enough. Now that the chickens and ducks in the house were raised by Aunt Wang, Xu Sanniang had nothing to worry about and could leave anytime and anywhere.
The children were very happy to know that Jiang Cheng and the others were going back. Song Yu took Song Youning running around the house. However, when Zhang Jinyou heard that they were going back, he wanted to visit his parents' grave again.
Zhang Jinyou said something to Xu Sanniang, bought some paper money and went to the grave. Song Yu followed him.
When Song Yu heard Zhang Jinyou say that they were going to the grave to pay their respects, Song Yu wanted to go with him too. He said that he wanted to go with Zhang Jinyou. But he was Zhang Jinyou's best friend, so how could he not go to pay his respects?
Xu Sanniang thought what he said made sense, and since Zhang Jinyou didn't object, she had nothing to say, so she just let him do it.
Song Yu followed Zhang Jinyou all the way to his parents' grave and watched Zhang Jinyou kneel down, and then he followed beside him.
Zhang Jinyou watched his actions without saying anything, and just burned paper money by himself.
He said nothing. Zhang Jinyou felt that his parents in heaven must be able to see this. Those sinners had already received their due punishment. He didn't need to dwell on the past anymore. He already had a better home by his side...
Zhang Jinyou looked at Song Yu, who was a little at a loss, and reached out to quietly hold his hand, silently comforting him.
Dad, Mom, I will definitely live a good life! If you two knew about this in the afterlife, you would definitely bless your child, right?
Zhang Jinyou waited until the paper money was almost burned before he kowtowed a few times to mark the end.
Song Yu watched Zhang Jinyou's movements, and he also kowtowed several times like Zhang Jinyou.
On the way back, Song Yu asked him why he didn't say a word when he arrived at the grave. Zhang Jinyou smiled and told him that he had said it in his heart!
Song Yu was curious about what he said, but Zhang Jinyou refused to tell him no matter what. Seeing that he kept silent, Song Yu gave up...
