Chapter 224 Zhu Feng's Diary
Xu Qingming said: "My aunt said we are family, so don't be polite with me. I am sending something for them sincerely. Since they have already bought it, I can't return it, right? In the future, Dongfu and Chun'e will use my pen to write and learn more cultural knowledge. In the future, when you go out into the wider world, use the pens I gave you to contribute to the construction of socialism and make it play a greater role. This will be my way of expressing my gratitude." After all, he was a little drunk, and the unruly nature that he usually restrained was all exuded at this moment. That heroic spirit made Lu Dongfu and Lu Chun'e unable to recover for a long time.
Wen Wan chimed in, "That's right, Dong Fu Chun'e, take it! It's not nice for you to just let him pass it on like this."
Lu Chun'e turned to look at her smilingly, then turned back to look at Xu Qingming. Her face suddenly warmed up when she met his smiling eyes, and she said, "Thank you!"
She took it, and Lu Dongfu also took it.
Lu Chunyan murmured to Lu Chunmei, "After all, they are city people. They are too particular. They spend such expensive things. I just came here with a few mouths to feed my family. What should I do without any preparation?"
Lu Chunmei said, "That's the situation between our two families. We originally planned to make a pair of shoes for both of them to wear to school, but we found out too late. The cloth soles are not easy to sew. I'll ask when school starts. If it doesn't work out, send some food coupons. They can be used in school."
Over there, Lu Minghai was drunk, and Gao Xiulan was still thanking Xu Qingming: "You are really too polite. Giving a pencil and a notebook is enough to show your intention. Giving such expensive things makes me speechless."
Xu Qingming just smiled and stopped talking, looking drunk and unconscious.
Of course, it only lasted for a while, and then, looking at the people who appeared at the entrance of the yard, except for Lu Minghai who was drunk and unconscious, the others became a little sober.
Zhou Lanhua stood at the gate, holding her child, who could barely walk. Her face was pale and bloodless, her eye sockets sunken, and she looked as if a gust of wind would blow her away. Her tattered clothes draped over her body felt empty, like the robes she wore for opera performances.
It has only been a short time, only half a month, and the whole person has changed out of shape.
Come to think of it, she should be staying at home to recuperate after giving birth!
Standing at the entrance of the yard, he called out, "Aunt Xiulan!"
Gao Xiulan was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and walked over: "Lanhua, why are you here at this time? You have to be careful. Although it's hot, there is still a mountain breeze, so you still have to be careful. You are still young, and the child is so young, you have to take care of your health."
Zhou Lanhua's eyes instantly turned red, she grinned, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I, I'm here to see Secretary Lu. I want to talk to him about something."
Gao Xiulan turned to look at Lu Dongping, then at Zhang Hongying and Wen Wan, and then called her: "Come, come, come, sit under the eaves and talk."
Zhou Lanhua didn't refuse. She followed her into the yard and greeted everyone she knew.
Zhang Hongying looked at the child in her arms: "Isn't this child even one year old?"
Zhou Lanhua said: "No, it's almost winter, and it's younger than the first day of the new year!"
"What's your name?"
Zhou Lanhua said, "Shuangshuang, winter frost. It was so cold outside when she was born that the frost turned white, just like snow."
Chuyi could now stand on her own, though she couldn't walk. Her face was rosy and round. Compared to her, Zhou Dongshuang was smaller and softer, looking less solid. When Zhou Lanhua held her, she held her waist with one hand.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Hongying asked her, "Lanhua, you just said you had something to ask Dongping. What is it?"
Lu Dongping sat carelessly on the chair, leaning against the pillar with one leg tilted, talking to Wen Wan. No one knew what he was talking about, but Wen Wan pinched him quickly, and he chuckled.
When he heard Zhang Hongying mention him, he glanced at Zhou Lanhua, and then went to provoke Wen Wan again.
Zhou Lanhua took a look, then lowered her head. After a while, she raised her head and said, "I want to find him and report Zhou Mingqing to him! Zhou Mingqing is a murderer! He killed Zhou Shazi!"
Before she opened her mouth, she felt it was so difficult. After all, she had called him dad for so many years. But in the end, he was nothing, nothing. She didn't believe it at first, but as long as she was willing, she could find the answer. It was not difficult to make up her mind. At this moment, the couple was still fighting in the house -
A person like that is not a human being at all, he is simply a beast!
Report? Murderer?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the yard was shocked.
The remaining smell of alcohol disappeared in an instant.
Lu Dongping pursed his lips, breathing slightly heavier, and looked at her with burning eyes: "Zhou Lanhua, do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhou Lanhua felt that his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
"I know. I'm going to report Zhou Mingqing. He killed Zhou Shazi!"
He repeated it again, and this time the sound was much smoother and more resounding.
"Where is the evidence?" Lu Dongping asked her.
Zhou Lanhua took out a red-covered notebook from her bosom. It was the one Zhu Feng left for her when he left.
Lu Donglin walked over, took the notebook and gave it to Lu Dongping.
The notebook is not particularly thick, but it is almost full. It is the diary that Zhu Feng has been writing since he went to the countryside.
The yard was completely silent as Lu Dongping sat there and started flipping through the pages from the first page.
January 9th, sunny
"We've arrived. It's very different from home. The scenery is nice, but I didn't come here just to see the scenery. I feel depressed. This morning, I found that the female educated youth who came with me was really pretty. Her voice was also nice and soft. I was itching to go to the supply and marketing cooperative together—"
January 11, cloudy
"Today, I almost got into a fight with the old educated youth I was with. It was because I didn't give them money or tickets. They're really stingy. We live under the same roof, so what's wrong with eating two meals a day?"
————————————————————————————————
January 23, sunny
"I discovered that the production team's officer surnamed Lu had feelings for the educated youth Wen Wan. If he didn't, he wouldn't be so attentive. The same goes for the two educated youths. I guess all men are like this. When they see a pretty girl, they can't take their eyes off her. Wen Wan didn't seem to be on guard against the man surnamed Lu at all, and she was actually forced to join him. What a pig!"
February 16
"I suddenly realized I was quite stupid. I used to think Wen Wan was short-sighted, only seeking temporary comfort by sharing a pot with the farmers in the mountains. But now I think she's actually quite smart. Sharing a pot is so nice. Just give her some money and food, and you don't have to chop wood, carry water, or cook for yourself. How wonderful."
February 28
"I looked around but couldn't find anyone suitable. The one from Lu Mingjiang's family is too young. The one from Zhou's family, Zhou Mingqing's family, isn't pretty, but she's pretty. Girls in the mountains are easy to please and act silly. I just hugged her and kissed her, and she started crying, thinking she was pregnant. It was hilarious. But it's okay this way!"
Lu Dongping flipped all the way back, and only after turning about one-third of the way did he reach the most important part.
It was the end of May, the time when wheat was harvested and rice seedlings were planted.
In the middle of this diary full of ugliness lies the following passage.
"That disgusting idiot from the Zhou family is dead. It's said that Deng Hongjuan killed him, but I know that's not necessarily the case, because it wasn't just her and Zhang Yun who left the ground at the time, but also Zhou Mingqing. I don't know if Zhou Mingqing had a motive to kill, but maybe he did. Such a disgusting thing is disgusting to look at. If he were alive, he would be a burden. If he died, the Zhou family would be relieved. Should I say it? No, I won't say it. Not to mention that I didn't see it with my own eyes, even if I saw it with my own eyes, I wouldn't say it, because it has nothing to do with me. Or, this is a good thing for me, I want to find a way to confirm it."
Lu Dongping frowned slightly, and the chaotic thoughts that had flashed through his mind several times before came to his mind again.
Then, reading further, there are some trivial matters in life, and the words are full of dissatisfaction and malice.
Nearly two-thirds of the way there is the highlight.
It not only confirmed that Zhou Shazi was indeed killed by Zhou Mingqing, but also recorded a big secret about Zhou Mingqing.
The secret is Zhou Lanhua.
Zhou Lanhua is not Zhou Mingqing's biological daughter, but the child born after his wife was raped by Zhou Shazi!
Zhou Shazi was not stupid when he was young. Not only was he not stupid, he was also a gangster. These things happened so long ago that no one remembers them. But if you really dig into it, older people like Lu Minghai and others still know something.
He is a bastard. He always takes advantage of young girls and wives by speaking in a rude manner.
Later, perhaps God opened his eyes and made him fall from the mountain, damaging his brain and turning him into a fool.
Everyone on the team knows this.
However, what they didn't know was that Zhou Shazi didn't fall but was beaten by Zhou Mingqing. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been beaten to death by Zhou Mingqing at that time.
The reason was that he took advantage of Zhou Mingqing and his two sons going down to the river to break into his sister-in-law's house and rape her.
Zhou Mingqing was green on the head, but at that time he was poor, his children were still young, and he couldn't even think of a second wife with his family. He couldn't divorce, but he was angry, so he had Zhou Shazi.
What I'm afraid of is that killing someone means paying with one's life, otherwise that fool would have died more than ten years ago.
This is also why the couple, who were originally very harmonious, always fought later. Every time they fought, Zhou Mingqing would not care about the severity of the fight and would drag the woman and beat her to death.
Not long after that incident, Zhou Mingqing's wife found out that she was pregnant. At first, Zhou Mingqing didn't suspect it, but later, when the birth time was wrong, Zhou Mingqing began to suspect that it was Zhou Shazi's child.
He wanted to kill Zhou Lanhua more than once, but he felt that even if he killed the child, the green on his head would still be green, and it would not change anything.
Later, he wanted to raise the person first, and then find a way to sell him when he grew up, and make some money.
Until later, Zhou Lanhua and Zhu Feng got together.
He was very angry, but then he thought, there was no point in being angry. Since she liked the kind of educated youth who couldn't carry anything, then she liked them. Anyway, if she wasn't living well, he would be happy, especially happy.
Zhu Feng did not use these things to threaten him to do the matter of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Zhu Feng wanted to do it, but before he could do so, Zhou Mingqing asked him if he wanted to go back.
Zhu Feng wrote in his diary: "At first I didn't understand what Zhou Mingqing meant by doing this, and I didn't want to understand. Going back, of course I wanted to go back, I thought about it every day, no matter what he was trying to do, as long as he could let me go back. Then, conflicts broke out at home and they wanted to separate. I watched coldly, all of this was instigated by him. Zhou Lanhua is a shame that he will never be able to erase in his life. He just wanted to see her suffer, separate, take the child, and get divorced. The harder it is, the happier he is. But, is Zhou Lanhua really not his biological child? Zhou the fool only slept with his wife once, and she got pregnant? This accuracy is unparalleled——"
