Chapter 304 The Old Leader’s Helplessness
"Xiao Rou, Secretary Du is looking for you."
Chen Meng's name is Ye Rou.
"I understand." Ye Rou looked at Fang Xunying and said leisurely, "Thank you for telling me this. Goodbye."
Seeing that Ye Rou was about to leave, Fang Xunying was anxious and wanted to call her to stop, but he didn't know what to say.
She originally wanted to sow discord between Liang Yushan and Ye Rou, but looking at Ye Rou's performance, Fang Xunying was not sure whether she had succeeded.
Fang Xunying felt very uncomfortable with this feeling of being stuck in between.
Ye Rou didn't care whether Fang Xunying felt uncomfortable or not, and carried the medicine box out of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department.
While going upstairs, she recalled what Fang Xunying said.
1: Zheng Lili’s so-called “affair” was done by Ji Yan and Tian Zihui, who hired someone for money, with the purpose of driving Zheng Lili away.
2: Commander Ji is very clear about what his daughter has done.
3: Liang Yushan knew everything, but chose to compromise for the sake of his mother and his future.
Ye Rou clenched her hands holding the medicine box.
Gradually, she had connected all the experiences of Zheng Lili in her life.
Zheng Zhiyuan was unable to react in time to the sudden change in his family and had to entrust his wife and two children to a friend's family. However, he was not entrusted to the right people. In order to seize the Zheng family's property, Li Guang's family forced Zheng Lili's mother to death.
Zheng Lili had no choice but to flee with her brother and hurriedly sought help from her father's old friends, but every family rejected her. The only family that agreed was the Li family, who only wanted her brother.
She had no choice but to entrust her brother to the Li family and leave Beijing to find her father.
However, her reunion with Liang Yushan changed her course of action.
At the beginning, Zheng Zhiyuan saw that Liang Yushan was strong and a filial son, so he wrote a letter of recommendation and sent him to the military camp.
When the two met again, Liang Yushan was no longer a poor dung collector, but the rich young lady had fallen on hard times and was helpless and needed his help.
Perhaps it was Liang Yushan's meticulous care that touched Zheng Lili, who had experienced the ups and downs of life, and she agreed to be with Liang Yushan.
I originally thought that I would settle down in Beijing, give birth to a child, raise her, and wait for my father to return to Beijing, but all plans cannot keep up with the changes.
Liang Yushan's mother, Tian Zihui, the aunt who once sewed clothes for her and sent her sweet fruits, became hateful and despised her so much that she tried every means to drive her away.
Zheng Lili became pregnant, and Liang Yushan received another mission to leave Beijing. She lost her greatest protection and became an undisguised target.
Tian Zihui made the bowstring, Ji Yan made the arrow, and the two of them worked together to shoot Zheng Lili.
Zheng Lili was driven out of the military compound and fell into the hands of human traffickers. Later, she met Tang Panxia on the way, became sworn sisters, and ended up in Dahe Village.
Ye Hai's father recognized that they were military family members and bought the two sisters together. Zheng Lili originally thought she was saved, but she didn't expect to be targeted by the beast Ye Hai. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and chose to commit suicide.
Zheng Lili has lived such an innocent life.
She had never intentionally harmed anyone, but was driven step by step into a dead end by human nature.
The greed of Li Guang's family, the indifference of the Li family, the jealousy of Ji Yan, the power of Tian Zihui, the silence of Liang Yushan, and the lust of Ye Hai were all imposed on Zheng Lili.
Even so, she still helped Tang Panxia during the abduction. This was the kindness engraved in her bones, which could not be erased by the ugly human heart.
Zheng Lili committed suicide in boundless despair, but these people are still alive and well, living comfortably by stepping on Zheng Lili's corpse.
Ye Rou raised her eyes, fire burning in her fox eyes.
Due to the long time and lack of evidence, the law cannot convict them.
Then let her come.
——
The old leader half leaned on the bed, watching Ye Rou packing the medicine box.
This little girl is obviously in a bad mood and is too quiet.
Thinking of what Secretary Du said, Fang Xunying came to see Ye Rou. As a doctor, Ye Rou is kind-hearted. If Fang Xunying begged hard, this little girl might really not refuse.
After thinking it over, the old leader finally asked, "Xiao Rou, did Fang Xunying come to you to plead for mercy?"
Ye Rou paused as she put away the golden needles, then quickly replied in a natural voice, "No, she just told me some old stories."
The old leader frowned slightly.
Fang Xunying wanted to tell Ye Rou about some of her past, but Ye Rou might not have told the truth because she was afraid of embarrassing him.
The old leader didn't ask any more questions and glanced at Secretary Du.
Secretary Du understood what he meant, cleared his throat, and reported the right and wrong of the matter again.
"Human trafficking gangs roam the north year-round, abducting young women and children. Some also abduct young men and sell them to work in illegal mines. According to their accounts, the leader of the trafficking gang is a middle-aged woman named Sister Hong, and no one knows her background."
"Sister Hong came to Beijing a year ago. Through an introduction, she met Qu Zhi. Qu Zhi and Sister Hong struck a deal. Qu Zhi used his position as Commander Qu to facilitate things for Sister Hong. In return, Sister Hong paid Qu Zhi one gold bar per person as a dividend."
"The police have already obtained relevant evidence. The charges are clear and there is no injustice."
The old leader nodded. Although he had heard it once before, he still felt angry when he heard it again.
He is Qu Chang's old squad leader. When Qu Chang first joined the army, he was thin and small, and was the youngest soldier in their class. He was not afraid of life and death on the battlefield, and many times he was at the forefront.
After the war, these veterans retired from the army, and he wrote a letter of recommendation for Qu Chang, allowing him to attend military school.
Qu Chang is smart and hardworking. He can't read, but he braved the snow every day to find a teacher to learn calligraphy. His handwriting was terrible at first, but now even his calligraphy is very elegant, which shows that he has put in a lot of effort.
Because of his outstanding performance in the military academy, the assigned work returned to him. He was careful and conscientious in his work and never made a mistake. He did not help Qu Chang in getting to his current position. It was Qu Chang who worked hard every step of the way.
But Qu Chang's shortcomings are also obvious. He is obsessed with power and does not know how to educate his children.
Qu Chang married two wives successively. The first one was his childhood sweetheart from Qu Chang's hometown. She died of heavy hemorrhage after giving birth to Qu Zhi.
Seeing that Qu Chang was working hard with a child and in the rising stage of his career, he couldn't bear it, so he asked Qu Chang to go on a blind date and find another woman.
Quchang's second daughter-in-law was a careful and honest woman. She took care of the first child as if he were her own child and worked hard to take care of him.
Qu Zhi has been a bully since he was young, and he never treated his stepmother well. His stepmother gave birth to three children for Qu Chang, two sons and a daughter.
The four children in Quchang have different personalities, each more extreme than the other, and have been at odds with each other since childhood.
He had talked to Qu Chang about this matter more than once, but Qu Chang didn't take it seriously. He never cared about his child's education and indulged him blindly. In the end, it caused a disaster. When he was old, the good reputation he had accumulated throughout his life was ruined by his child.
