After comforting the two children, Song Shuxi's curiosity was still strong.
"Husband, will we still have contact with Lin Sanni in the future?"
"Yes," Wei Jianguo said with certainty. “I always felt that she had some purpose, but I didn’t ask.
She is a martyr's relative, not a suspect, so we cannot interrogate her further and there are some methods we cannot use.
My dear wife, if she comes to see you, you must be careful and it is best not to let her come into contact with the two children. "
Wei Jianguo thought about it and said a few more words about Lin Sanni's news, worried that his wife would not take it seriously.
"After she left the village, she didn't let us send her back, but went home on her own.
After returning home, he disappeared again, stole money from home, sneaked out and went straight to the army. "
Song Shuqian was surprised, "Her parents and villagers didn't stop her? And where did she get the letter of introduction?"
"She carved the letter of introduction out of a radish, imitating the village seal. She quietly returned to the village and hid in a haystack. When everyone in her family went out to work, she secretly went home and took away all the money in the family, including the money from selling her for the bride price."
Now, Song Shuxi really admires this girl.
Apart from anything else, her decisiveness of "if you let me down, I won't treat you as a relative" is much better than those who devote their whole lives to a little illusory family affection and live in a muddle.
Besides, in general rural families, especially families like hers that favor boys over girls, daughters are not qualified to know about family affairs. Especially things like money.
Not only did Lin Sanni know this, but she was also able to take it away quietly.
She was only eighteen years old and it was her first time away from home. It was really amazing that she could do this.
If Song Shuqian didn't know that she had ulterior motives, she would have tried to make friends with her.
Song Shuqian is very interested in people with distinctive characteristics.
Wei Jianguo reminded his wife because he knew her hobbies.
Song Shuqian sorted out her thoughts and asked, "Honey, have you seen Lin Sanni before? Or does Lin Baoguo have a photo of you?"
Wei Jianguo recalled carefully, "No, I used to be Lin Baoguo's squad leader, but he never came back from the battlefield. He mentioned that he had four sisters and one brother at home. There were no others."
"That's strange. How did Lin Sanni recognize you?"
"She said she heard someone calling my name. She had heard Lin Baoguo mention this name before. Since they were both homeless, she came to me for help."
"That doesn't make sense, let's not say she's a country girl who has never seen the world and doesn't have such courage.
Let’s just say, how could a normal 18-year-old girl go to live with a strange man? Isn’t she afraid of escaping from a wolf’s den and falling into a tiger’s den, and risking her life?
Judging from Lin Sanni's performance, she is very smart, smarter than most people.
Such a smart girl, but what she did was not very smart.
It doesn't make sense, right? "
The couple discussed for a long time without any result, and decided to raise the danger level of this person to the highest level and be on guard against him.
"No," Wei Jianguo suddenly said, "Based on her performance, she doesn't seem to be a simple person. But when she came to see me, the things she said were full of loopholes. She did it on purpose."
Song Shuqian continued, "She wants to arouse our curiosity and make us take the initiative to explore who she is and what her purpose is. As long as we have contact, no matter what her purpose is, it will be easy to deal with."
The couple looked at each other and decided decisively that they would do the opposite. They would ignore her and make her anxious and lose her composure. Only when she took action would they be able to continue the investigation.
"Hehe, my wife, you are so smart. Nothing can stump you." After finishing the business, Wei Jianguo went into the praise mode. He really liked the proud and spoiled look on his wife's face when she was praised.
Song Shuqian really showed her arrogant look.
After finishing the business, Song Shuqian's curiosity was aroused again. She really wanted to know what the village that Wei Jianguo mentioned was like.
When she came to this world, she joined the army directly and saw limited things.
"Honey, let's chat for a while. I'm not sleepy yet. I want to talk to you."
Wei Jianguo knew his wife very well, and he knew from her expression that she had something to ask.
Unable to bear with her struggling, he said caringly, "Wife, just ask whatever you want to know, and I will choose the answer that I can tell."
With this in mind, Song Shuqian felt relieved to ask.
"I'm a little curious about the village you're talking about. I want to know what kind of place it is."
This can be said that Wei Jianguo tried to describe it in as much detail as possible.
“That village has mixed surnames, but it’s very united. This is very strange, because usually villages with the same surname and clan are more united.
The village chief was a little old man, not tall, looking a bit gentle, with a pair of narrow and sharp eagle eyes, and a strong aura.
He has great authority in the village and is the local tyrant. No one disobeys him.
Even the children running around were taught to listen to the village chief.
Most of the wives in the village were bought, some from human traffickers, and most from the girls’ parents.
In the village, men have a very high status, and women are not like wives, but more like tools for reproduction or sexual release. Brothers in the same family often exchange women. "
Wei Jianguo tried to be as concise as possible, choosing only things that could be said and were not so disgusting. What happened in that village really overturned his perception. Many young soldiers had tears in their eyes when they saw the women in the village.
Song Shuqian continued to ask, "Besides Lin Sanni, how many other girls left with you?"
"I can't tell you the details. Many girls who went there were brainwashed and thought they were dirty and had to live there. If they left, bad things would happen. Some women couldn't bear to leave their children."
That means not many people left.
"Are there many children in that village? Why would anyone want to buy a child when there are women giving birth to them?"
Wei Jianguo and his team didn't find out about this either. "Many families, like the one Lin Sanni married into, have brothers who buy one wife. The wife's job is to give birth to children until she is completely unable to give birth.
The child born is the child of all of them. I will raise my daughter well and sell her in exchange for a dowry. "
"The girls didn't resist?"
Song Shuqian asked a stupid question.
Wei Jianguo still answered patiently, "You know, marriage is about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Especially in rural areas, parents can only decide what their children should marry. Most girls in the village grew up with this kind of education. They have no consciousness of resistance, and marrying is fate.
Some of those who want to resist will be beaten by the men in their family. They will be beaten every time they run away, and after being beaten every time, they will just accept their fate. "
Wei Jianguo tried his best to put it simply, but the reality is a hundred times more serious than this.
Almost no women here dare to escape.
That's why Lin Sanni was surprised.
There must have been smart people over the years, but she was the only one who left.
Song Shuqian imagined that this kind of evil at the lowest level of society was beyond her imagination.
She was very lucky and her family conditions were good in both of her lives.
What Song Shuqian is familiar with is that people will smile at you on the surface, but will say MMP in their hearts, and stab you in the back.
This kind of direct, mental and physical attack has never been seen before. This undisguised malice is overwhelming.
So what does all this have to do with them as a couple, and why did Lin Sanni target Wei Jianguo?
Song Shuqian guessed that Lin Sanni must have tried to get close to Wei Jianguo along the way. It's just that he has always been careful to keep a distance from female comrades. It is very likely that Lin Sanni simply couldn't find an opportunity to contact him, so she had to come to the staff quarters.
The facts were similar to what Song Shuqian had guessed. Wei Jianguo and Liu Xinguo had always been together, even going together to buy things for their wives. The money on Lin Sanni was always spent by him.
