After finishing their meal, Liu's father and Liu Guanghui walked back to the commune from the county town. They took a transport truck on the way and arrived at the commune at around four o'clock.
"Guanghui, let's go ask Weidong first." Father Liu and Liu Guanghui came to the door of the grain station and saw Weidong counting the accounts.
"Weidong, Weidong, come out for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."
"Brother Zhang, please keep an eye on this for me. My brother-in-law wants to ask me something." Wang Weidong said to his colleague.
"Okay, Weidong, go quickly and come back soon!"
"Thanks, Brother Zhang."
"Brother-in-law, what do you want from me?"
"What's the name of the young wife you told your sister about last time who was close to Li Ziqiang?"
"I heard others call her Zishengjia, and her husband's name seems to be Wan Zisheng. Brother-in-law, what happened? Do you need my help?"
"It's okay. I'll tell you when I figure it out. By the way, has there been any news from Big Brother? If Second Sister-in-law and the others go to Big Brother's place, remember to bring me a message so I can send the money over."
"My eldest brother hasn't called back yet, so I don't know yet."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work! I'm leaving now."
…
Father Liu then went to the entrance of the orange canning factory with Liu Guanghui.
"Uncle, is the cannery open today?" Father Liu handed the uncle two cigarettes.
"Young man, we're on the morning shift. Production will begin on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It's just that we only work part-time, and we take turns. Are you here looking for someone? I know the workers in the cannery best."
"Uncle, do you know Wan Zisheng?"
"Young man, what do you want from him?"
"I borrowed ten dollars from him two years ago and came to return it today."
"Young man, you don't know that he is already dead. He died of illness."
"Yes, I heard his home is nearby, so I wanted to ask where it is."
"Young man, yes, he's kind and righteous. His wife took over his job cooking in the cafeteria, but she just passed away today. She gave birth to a posthumous child a few months ago and just went home to nurse the baby. Her home is at the very back of the newly built residential area in the northeast of the commune."
"Okay, thank you, sir. I'd like to ask if Li Ziqiang has come to work?"
"Li Ziqiang, he hasn't been here for several days. Why are you looking for him?"
"I heard that he and Wan Zisheng are good brothers, so I want him to help bring the money."
"I'm going there alone. They're an orphan and a widow, so I'm afraid of causing misunderstandings."
"Young man, you are so thoughtful. Li Ziqiang used to be very close to Wan Zisheng, but he hasn't come in the past few days."
"Okay, thank you, sir. We'll be leaving first."
…
"Brother, what should we do now? Let's go to the northeast of the commune and find where Wan Zisheng's home is."
"Child, come here. Uncle wants to ask you something. Do you know where Wan Zisheng's home is? Tell me, and this White Rabbit candy is yours."
"I know. I'll lead the way for you, but you must not lie to me. You must give me the candy."
"I won't lie to you. I'm here to investigate. You can't tell anyone that I asked you for directions."
"I definitely won't tell you. I'm the most loyal person."
"Okay, uncle believes you."
…
"Uncle, it's the house at the end of the alley. The one playing there is the eldest son of the widow Wan Yi."
"Hey, he's holding a child. Who is that child?"
"That's his younger brother, he's only a few months old."
"Okay, uncle understands everything. Let's go. I'll go outside and give you the candy." Father Liu gave Liu Guanghui a look as he left.
…
"Brother, I just pretended to be a passerby. I saw that child. He looks 50% like that bastard Li Ziqiang. He must be his bastard. Brother, what should we do now?"
"To catch a thief, we must seize the stolen goods. That vile fellow Li Ziqiang loves his precious son so much, I don't believe he won't come here to see him. Let's go eat first, and then find a place to wait for him."
…
"Brother, it's been two days, why hasn't that bastard Li Ziqiang shown up yet?"
"Don't be impatient, wait a little longer and hide well."
"Brother, look, is that Li Ziqiang?"
"Yes, don't worry, let's see where he goes."
"He went to Widow Yi's house. This bastard came here in the middle of the night. I don't believe that this pair of dogs will be fine." Liu Guanghui said as he was about to catch Li Ziqiang.
"Second brother, wait a little longer. When they are almost asleep, we will climb in from the yard."
…
"Second brother, hold on to the rope. I'll climb over the wall first and then open the door for you before I come in."
The door opened with a slight creak, and after Liu Guanghui went in, the two of them closed the door gently.
Father Liu and Liu Guanghui had just walked a few steps in the yard when they heard bursts of panting coming from inside the house.
"These two adulterers have harmed Xiu'er to such an extent, yet they are living happily here. I will make that jerk Li Ziqiang unable to move from now on, and then we will see how he can still be happy."
"Second brother..." Before Liu's father could finish his words, Liu Guanghui pushed the door open and rushed in.
As soon as Liu Guanghui entered, he started beating the two people on the bed.
“Ahhh…”
"Who are you and what are you doing?"
"Li Ziqiang, if you don't want others to discover you two, then let her scream as loudly as possible."
Li Ziqiang quickly covered Widow Yi's mouth.
"Big brother, second brother, I just made a mistake for a moment, please forgive me.
We are not worthy of your calling us brother. Second brother, get the rope."
Liu's father and Liu Guanghui tied the two people together with the quilt, and Liu's father closed the door again. Just as he closed the door, a child's voice came from outside the room.
