Chapter 138 (Two in One)
The next morning, Lin Shuyue opened the forum immediately. As expected, the report on "Death of Adoptive Parents" published this morning had been seen by many people and posted online, where heated discussions were underway.
Everyone has their own opinion on Geng Liqun's experience, Zhang Guangfen's weirdness and Zuo Musheng's misery. Some people think that if they put themselves in Geng Liqun's shoes, they would be deceived by Zhang Guangfen for so many years, and they would love a person who came from nowhere as their son for so many years, but in the end they found out that the child was not their own blood.
Anyone would collapse. Especially for Zuo Cheng, he gave almost everything he had.
Zuo Musheng was even more unlucky because he was tricked by Zhang Guangfen at a banquet. Due to health reasons, he raised Zuo Cheng as his own son. As a result, he raised him until he was in his thirties and had become successful. However, because of Zhang Guangfen's romantic affairs, her son died and there was no one to take care of him in his old age.
Not to mention Zhang Guangfen. The moment the newspaper was published, Zhang Guangfen became a person despised by everyone.
Especially after many people who knew Zhang Guangfen went to the forum to share their experiences, what she had done in her life was exposed to the public.
Among them, the largest number of people came from Longhu Town.
Zhang Guangfen's father, Zhang Sangen, was the only son in the Zhang family. After he married his wife, he only had one daughter, Zhang Guangfen. Because Zhang Guangfen is the only daughter, Zhang Sangen has been extremely doting on her since she was a child. It can be said that even if she wants the stars, he will never give her the moon.
From the moment Zhang Guangfen was born, Zhang Sangen decided to find a son-in-law for her. It happened that the Geng family in the town had an accident, and only Geng Liqun was left out of the family of five.
The Geng family moved to Longhu Town from another province. They had no relatives in the town, nor in Guangdong Province. At that time, Longhu Town held a two-day meeting regarding Geng Liqun's coming and going. After thinking about it for two days, Zhang Sangen brought Geng Liqun back home.
Everyone in Longhu Town knew what he was thinking. Geng Liqun was the child husband he had arranged for Zhang Guangfen. In order to suppress the arrogance of Geng Liqun, the husband who raised a child, Zhang Sangen and his wife treated Geng Liqun badly. Zhang Guangfen followed suit and bullied Geng Liqun all day long.
In Longhu Town, Geng Liqun's peers used two-finger Zen to type the following line of words in front of the computer: Not long after Zhang Guangfen and Geng Liqun got together, Zhang Guangfen went through the woods with another man in the town. Many people knew about it at the time, but no one kept it a secret from Geng Liqun.
Once these words were spoken, public opinion exploded again. Although it was only eight o'clock, many reporters picked up their cameras and rushed to Longhu Town impatiently.
Criminal cases like this one that are accompanied by sex scandals attract the most attention. The severity of the scandal in this case is the most serious in recent years, and only the case of brother and sister LL a few days ago can compete with this case. Especially someone like Zhang Guangfen, you only meet her once in many years. Now that you finally meet her, how can you not dig deeper?
If Pengcheng Metropolitan Daily gets the meat, then these tabloids should at least get some soup, right?
Lin Shuyue closed her computer and walked downstairs. While standing on the balcony, she met Li Mingfang from next door. The two of them started chatting while enjoying the cool breeze.
Li Mingfang had gotten used to being picked up and dropped off by Li Weisheng. She no longer wanted to go home after get off work, so she simply packed up her things and moved into Xijiang Apartment.
This was only the second day she had moved in, and it was really comfortable to live alone. She could sleep whenever she wanted and watch TV whenever she wanted, and no one cared about her at all.
Seeing that there was no point in just chatting like this, Lin Shuyue got up and went back into the house, scooped out two bowls of eight-treasure porridge from the rice cooker that was keeping warm, and handed them to Li Mingfang. Li Mingfang was hungry, so she took them and ate them.
The warm porridge is just right for your mouth. On this slightly cold morning, a sip feels like warmth.
Li Mingfang thought of Li Weisheng again. She said, "I don't know if the winter in Gan Province is cold or not. I don't know how Ah Sheng is doing."
Li Weisheng would send a text message to Li Mingfang and Lin Shuyue every day to report their safety. At midnight last night, she and Li Mingfang received text messages from Li Weisheng one after another.
Lin Shuyue thought for a moment and said, "After I go to the capital to participate in the evaluation, I will take a detour to Gan Province."
Li Mingfang had an idea. She also wanted to go, but she was very clear about her own capabilities. If she went to Gan Province, she would only be a drag on Li Weisheng. She had heard from Li Weisheng that this secret visit was very dangerous.
"Thank you, Ayue. Thank you, Ayue. I'm late.
I'll cook you a chicken feet stew. "Li Mingfang smiled happily.
Li Mingfang can't cook many dishes, but the chicken feet stew she makes is very delicious. Lin Shuyue has eaten it twice. It's okay when she doesn't mention it, but when she does, her saliva starts to flow.
"Okay, okay. Do you have kitchen utensils over there? Do you want to come over to my place to cook?" Lin Shuyue was worried that Li Mingfang had just moved in and hadn't packed up her things yet.
"My mother came over last night and prepared rice, flour, grains, oil, seasonings and everything for me." Li Mingfang's mother, like Lin Shuyue's mother, Lou Fengqin, is a housewife who revolves around her children.
"Okay." The two of them finished a bowl of eight-treasure porridge in the cold wind. Li Mingfang handed the bowl over across the balcony. Lin Shuyue took the bowl to the kitchen and washed it. Then, after Li Mingfang had packed up, he and I went to the newspaper office together.
Not long after she sat down in the newspaper office, Lin Shuyue went to the court. The trial of the case of murdering a family in a rich man's villa was going to be held today, and she had to go and watch.
When Lin Shuyue arrived, many people from all walks of life had come. Reporter Shi from the city TV station did not come and was replaced by another person. When Lin Shuyue saw him, she remembered that Reporter Shi had gone back to prepare for the wedding.
She gathered with her colleagues to chat, and their discussion was basically about Zhang Guangfen's report this morning.
While everyone was sighing, the suspects were escorted in. In addition to the dead nanny Zhou Yanhua, security guard Zhang Zhencai, chef Wang Qianglin, driver Wu Xuqiang, and Liu Yuge came in handcuffed and legcuffed.
Liu Yuyuan was escorted in after they all came in.
The moment she appeared, Zhang Zhen twisted and struggled, trying to move towards her. Zhang Zhencai believed that his plan was flawless and if it weren't for Liu Yuyuan, the troublemaker, they would never have been caught.
Liu Yuyuan was not afraid of him at all and rolled her eyes at him several times, which made Zhang Zhencai very angry.
When the judge came in, they all fell silent again.
The courtroom was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard. The subsequent trial went very smoothly. Zhang Zhencai and four others were convicted of killing Guo Bingchang's family, as well as his secretary Zhao Minghui, nanny Diao Yan and thirteen others, a total of thirteen people. The evidence was conclusive and they were sentenced to death and executed immediately.
Liu Yuyuan was sentenced to death as an accomplice, and the sentence was executed immediately for multiple crimes including finding a surrogate mother, embezzling Guangsheng funds in collusion with secretary Zhao Minghui, and killing another secretary of the wealthy Guo Bingchang.
As soon as her verdict came out, Zhang Zhencai and the other three burst out laughing. Zhang Zhencai even stated in court that Liu Yuyuan would be with him on the road to the underworld, so he had plenty of time to deal with her.
Liu Yuyuan was very dissatisfied with his verdict and immediately appealed.
After the verdict, Lin Shuyue saw Ah Xi in the crowd.
She had aborted the child that she had given birth to for Liu Yuyuan a long time ago. At this moment, she was wearing a black dress with a small white flower on her chest. When she saw that Liu Yuyuan was sentenced to death, she laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
After leaving the court, she took the initiative to find Lin Shuyue.
The two never had any contact since Ah Xi gave her the surrogate mother's information.
Ah Xi told Lin Shuyue: "With the money Zhao Minghui gave me, I am living a good life now. I bought a house in a small town in the southwest, and my parents are recovering well."
After leaving Pengcheng, A Xi's family felt very uncomfortable, especially the food culture in the southwest which was completely different from that in Pengcheng. But after staying there for a few months, they have become accustomed to the life there.
There is not much pressure there and the temperature does not change much throughout the year. There are many flowers planted in her yard and her father waters them every morning.
She opened a small shop there, and her mother can run the shop even though she has limited mobility. Her mother has now learned the southwestern dialect.
After listening to her story, Lin Shuyue was also very happy for her.
Ah Xi had already booked a train ticket for noon, and she was about to leave. She told Lin Shuyue, "This is the first time in my life that I love someone so much, and he was killed when I loved him the most. I am here for both emotional and blood ties. This is the last time I will mourn for him."
A gust of wind blew, and the cold north wind blew Ah Xi's untied hair into the wind.
Lin Shuyue looked at Zhao Minghui's family members walking towards Ah Xi and said to Ah Xi, "Ah Xi, I hope your life will be smooth."
Ah Xi heard the footsteps behind him and smiled at Lin Shuyue: "Thank you, Lin Shuyue."
After saying this, Ah Xi left without even looking back at her relatives.
Zhao Minghui's parents are her uncles. After something happened at home, she went to them for help, but her uncle not only did not provide any help, he also allowed her aunt to humiliate her. Her other relatives also refused to help her.
At that time they completely forgot the help her parents had once given them.
Ah Xi has always known that they helped her family out of kindness, and not helping was their duty, so she didn't hate them, but she just didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore.
What's more, her uncle and aunt didn't necessarily come to see her to reminisce about the past, but to get the money that Zhao Minghui gave her. That money was what she deserved, it was what Zhao Minghui owed her, why should she give it to him?
Ah Xi hailed a taxi on the roadside and drove away. Zhao Minghui's family watched her leave, and they were so angry that they turned around and started to trouble Lin Shuyue: "What did that little bitch Ah Xi say to you?"
"Did she say where her family has moved to now?"
"Did she tell you how much money my Minghui left behind?"
Several people talked at once, asking questions one after another.
Lin Shuyue ignored them and walked around them. They wanted to catch up with her, but there were several reporters around. When they saw what was happening, they surrounded her.
When there were so many people around, Zhao Minghui's family became scared and dared not chase them anymore.
Lin Shuyue thanked them with a smile, then drove away in her car.
She wrote a report on the trial results of the case in the newspaper, then thought about it and got up to go to the Little Love Orphanage.
Lin Shuyue met the director of the Love Orphanage. This is an old lady in her fifties, thin but very kind, with a permanent smile on her face. Her good and evil value is around 3%.
After Teacher Li introduced her as the reporter reporting on the Love Orphanage, the director was very enthusiastic towards Lin Shuyue. She held Lin Shuyue's hand for a long time and was reluctant to let go.
"Thank you, reporter Lin. After your report, our orphanage has received a lot of attention. Many people have come to our orphanage and sent us a lot of supplies, especially for children. We are no longer short of supplies now."
The dean took Lin Shuyue to the warehouse, where she saw a lot of milk powder and rice flour.
The director said, "We have received a lot of donations in our orphanage's account. In a month, a child in our orphanage will have a heart surgery. With this money, Kakaguazi will have less pressure, and the child will have a better chance of survival."
Lin Shuyue also smiled. She said to the dean, "Dean, we should thank you. Thank you for your kindness. For decades, you have provided a home for those disabled children and given them hope for recovery."
Lin Shuyue's words brought tears to the dean's eyes. The orphanage is the director’s lifelong career. Many children have walked out of the orphanage, but even more children have died in the orphanage. The dean has never doubted her career, but she also needs affirmation.
Lin Shuyue's words inspired and affirmed her more than anything else.
After leaving the warehouse, Lin Shuyue asked about Mengmeng's whereabouts. The dean said, "We have taken Mengmeng back. His grandfather was unwilling to accept him."
This is within Lin Shuyue's understanding. Zuo Musheng probably doesn't like Zhang Guangfen. When he didn't know that Mengmeng was Zhang Guangfen, Zuo Musheng might have been able to raise Mengmeng, but now that Mengmeng is Zhang Guangfen's child, Zuo Musheng is unwilling to raise her.
Lin Shuyue thought about it and decided to tell the dean that Mengmeng was Zhang Guangfen's child.
Zhang Guangfen is very hateful, but the child is polite and innocent? How innocent is Mengmeng? She did not write in the report that Mengmeng was Zhang Guangfen's child.
The dean was stunned for a moment: "Is that so?" The dean had seen many storms and waves, so she was stunned for a moment before she suddenly realized: "No wonder Zhang Guangfen didn't look at anything else when she came to see him that day, but Meng Meng."
Teacher Li heard this and said, "I told Sister Meng and the others last night that Zuo Musheng was too cold-hearted. After all, they had been together for a year, and he loved Mengmeng so much before. How come he didn't raise the child when Zuo Cheng got into trouble? So this is the root of the problem."
"You wrongly blamed him." said Teacher Li.
"Yes, now we understand him." The three of them walked out together. When they reached the playground, they just saw Zuo Musheng getting out of a taxi carrying two woven bags.
Lin Shuyue and the dean and others looked at each other and stepped forward. Zuo Musheng looked like he had not slept well the night before, and his eyes were full of red bloodshot.
He said to the dean with great guilt: "Dean, Teacher Li, I can't take care of Mengmeng anymore. This is something he left with me. I'm sending it to him."
"These things are the clothes and toys I bought for him this year." Zuo Musheng opened the bag. The clothes in the bag were all brand new, and the toys were also of good quality. →
The dean hurriedly said, "We all understand. We all understand."
Zuo Musheng stopped talking. The scene was silent for a few minutes. He moved his mouth several times before saying, "Dean, if Mengmeng is adopted, can you call me so that I can take a look?"
Zuo Musheng really couldn't bear to part with Mengmeng. Mengmeng is well-behaved and cute. She speaks in a baby voice when calling him grandpa and is very caring. Zuo Musheng doesn't like Zuo Cheng, but he likes Mengmeng very much.
He was sad about Zuo Cheng's death, but not as sad as not raising Meng Meng. Zuo Musheng thought about it all night last night. He felt that the reason why he always kept a distance from Zuo Cheng was because he hated Zhang Guangfen, so he took his anger out on Zuo Cheng.
After adopting Mengmeng, he didn't know that Mengmeng was Zhang Guangfen's child. As he got older, he liked children more and more...
"Okay, I'll call you then." The dean promised.
Zuo Musheng smiled, he looked towards the playground, wasn't there Mengmeng, was a little disappointed, he was about to turn around and leave, Lin Shuyue called him.
Zuo Musheng still remembers Lin Shuyue. He remembers Lin Shuyue. The police said that it was Lin Shuyue who called the police yesterday.
Lin Shuyue asked him: "When Zhang Guangfen gave birth to Mengmeng, didn't you know?"
Zuo Musheng shook his head: "I don't know. Zhang Guangfen and I divorced ten years ago. After we got the divorce certificate, she often stayed out all night. Sometimes she would be gone for several months. I don't care about her."
"The reason why I accepted her after she came back was just because I wanted someone to wash my clothes and cook for me." According to Zuo Musheng's previous thoughts, whether he and Zhang Guangfen had a substantial relationship or not, if Zhang Guangfen wanted to stay, she would have to give something. Zuo Musheng could do things like washing clothes and cooking, but being able to do it was not contradictory to whether he wanted to do it or not.
Teacher Li asked him again: "Then you told the kindergarten teacher that you were in a hurry to go to the park to play chess. Was it because your family was strict?"
Teacher Li blushed a little when he asked this question. He said, "Who doesn't have a little vanity?"
After saying this, Zuo Musheng fled.
But his words made Lin Shuyue and the others sigh. Even though Zuo Musheng was physically disabled, he still longed to have a family in his heart, otherwise he would not have accepted Zhang Guangfen and the baby Zuo Cheng in her belly.
Teacher Li said, "If it was someone else, maybe Zuo Musheng could have a good family."
The dean has seen a lot: "His health is like that. It's okay for one or two years, but after a long time, few people can keep it up."
The dean is already at this age and can say anything. Teacher Li is also an experienced person and she has experienced the normal physiological needs of this kind of people. She thinks what the dean said makes sense.
As an old driver in theory, Lin Shuyue understood everything in seconds. She coughed and looked at the sky and the ground.
The dean and Teacher Li looked at each other and laughed.
After moving Meng Meng's things into the courtyard, Teacher Li said to Lin Shuyue, "Do you still want to see the nursing home? I'll take you there."
"Okay." Lin Shuyue really wanted to take a look. After she agreed, Teacher Li took her to the next door.
The layout of the nursing home is similar to that of the orphanage, but the playground has been changed into a lawn. Under the trees beside the lawn, several old men sit under the trees and play chess. They chat and laugh like normal people, but if you look closely, you can see that they have some problems.
But they all had smiles on their faces, and there were a few healthy-looking old men standing behind them, teaching them how to play chess.
At the door of the dormitory not far from them, a group of old ladies
Too much crafting.
Teacher Li greeted the nursing staff in the nursing home, and then said to Lin Shuyue: "The nursing home has its own income, and they will take some handicrafts back to do."
There are many five-guarantee households and many people with disabilities in the nursing home, but they can still do some manual work that does not require much brainpower. Like pasting matchboxes, sticking flowers on hairpins, etc.
These handicrafts don’t make much money, but they can cover the daily expenses of the elderly.
Teacher Li said: "When our orphanage was in the most difficult time, we still needed help from the nursing home."
The caregiver in the nursing home is a young man in his twenties, a little silly. Teacher Li said that he has some intellectual problems and is only five or six years old, but he is very obedient. She takes care of those in the nursing home who cannot take care of themselves.
Lin Shuyue's good and evil radar was turned on, and she followed Teacher Li around here. From the director and the nurses to the people inside, including the elderly who came at their own expense, no one here had a high good and evil value.
Lin Shuyue interviewed an old man named Mr. Li who came here at his own expense. When asked why he came to live in Ai Xin Nursing Home at his own expense, Mr. Li said: "In my life, the people I admire most are those who are selfless and dedicated. Ai Xin Nursing Home is a good nursing home, which is different from those nursing homes that are open outside now."
"The nursing home is out of money. We old guys can't do anything else to help, but at least we can increase their sales, right?"
"Besides, life in the nursing home is really good. My son and daughter both have jobs, and my husband has passed away. If I hadn't come to the nursing home, I would be alone at home, with people going to work and school, and I wouldn't even have anyone to talk to."
"There are so many people in the nursing home. They are all elderly people. They play chess and do handicrafts together every day. They don't feel lonely at all. There are also many children next door. Sometimes I go to see them and they are lively."
Lin Shuyue then interviewed several people who paid for their own care, and they all had similar reasons for choosing the Ai Xin Nursing Home.
Before Lin Shuyue left, Uncle Li whispered to her, "I like Aunt Zhang. She is also an elderly person who came here at her own expense. I think she is very kind and cheerful, and her words and actions are very interesting. But she doesn't want to be my partner."
"He dislikes me because I'm a little fat. I'm trying to lose weight now. I must get rid of the fat on my body. I must win Aunt Zhang's heart."
Lin Shuyue looked at the old lady who was doing handicrafts. Aunt Zhang was teaching an old lady with not very high intelligence how to string beads. The old lady just couldn't learn it no matter how hard she tried. Aunt Zhang didn't get impatient at all. If she couldn't learn it the first time, she would teach her a second time.
Lin Shuyue felt that Aunt Zhang really had what it took for Uncle Li to fall in love with her. She couldn't help but smile, "Uncle Li, keep going. When you two are together, send me an invitation and I'll take pictures for you."
Uncle Li's eyes lit up. He glanced at Aunt Zhang again and said shyly, "Can you help us take the photo now?"
Uncle Li was like a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, very shy.
"OK."
Uncle Li straightened his old man's shirt and went to find Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang glanced at Lin Shuyue and followed Uncle Li.
After taking the photos, Aunt Zhang chased Uncle Zhang away and asked Lin Shuyue, "Did Old Man Li tell you nonsense again?"
Lin Shuyue nodded with a smile. Aunt Zhang wanted to laugh but held back. She said, "Let's see how sincere he is."
Aunt Zhang went back to her handicrafts. Uncle Li came over to help her. He didn't get angry even after Aunt Zhang yelled at him. He came over with a smile.
Lin Shuyue took a photo of them.
She returned to the orphanage to find Teacher Li, who happened to have some time, and chatted with her for a long time. She also knew about the matter between Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li.
"In the fall, when the chrysanthemums were in bloom, Uncle Li was very thoughtful and got up early in the morning to pick a few for Aunt Zhang. He picked white ones, but Aunt Zhang gave him a good beating for peeling them. The next day, he was not discouraged and picked yellow ones, but was beaten again. On the third day, he gave Aunt Zhang pink ones."
Teacher Li started laughing as he spoke, and Lin Shuyue laughed too. The twilight love between an old man and an old lady was quite romantic.

In addition, there are many interesting stories about Uncle Li pursuing Aunt Zhang.
Lin Shuyue was looking through the photos of the two elderly people in the car and decided to report their story once they became successful.
But before that, Lin Shuyue wanted to interview Kaka Sunflower Seeds. How could such a conscientious company not deserve more coverage?
