"If either of you dares to utter a single word about what happened today, be careful, I, Dong Wei, will turn my back on you." Dong Wei warned casually. They were just a few small fry; as long as they were in Shanghai, he could find them no matter how much trouble they caused.
"Boss, don't you know what kind of people we brothers are? We would go through fire and water without uttering a single word," Liu Zi quickly swore.
Dong Wei nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't know who the thief was. He had almost lost his life this morning. If he knew who the thief was, he would skin him alive and tear him apart!
They looted everything of value inside the house. After confirming there were no secret passages, Dong Wei came out of the house, looking smug and self-satisfied.
"From today onwards, this villa belonging to your Lin family is confiscated. This is the notification."
Grandpa Lin stood in the middle of the yard, ignoring his sarcastic remarks, and said, "We'll just pack a few clothes and leave."
"Clothes?" Dong Wei sneered, and then Liu Zi threw a pile of clothes down from the second floor and threw it directly into the fire. "It says very clearly on the door that nothing but people can be taken out."
"As for the things you have on you, I think you'd better hand them over obediently, otherwise it will be embarrassing if I call someone to search you."
Liu Zi walked up to them and gestured for Lin's mother to take off the earrings. He looked at Lin Yuxi and saw that her hands were empty, so he gave up.
Dong called for help and brought over a lot of wooden planks to nail the windows shut. Then he found a sturdy chain to lock the main gate and put a seal on it.
He swaggered up to Old Master Lin and exclaimed, "Tsk, when other people have their homes ransacked, you'd all have to take off your clothes. Today I'm giving you face and letting you leave gracefully, so you won't have to take them off. Get out of here!"
He was certain that these people had no way to hide anything when they arrived, so he tossed the envelope in his hand, and the train tickets inside scattered on the ground.
"You..." Lin's father was so angry that his eyes turned red, and his hands clenched into fists, with veins bulging.
Dong Wei shamelessly moved forward, pointing his rough hand at his face, "Come on, hit me here."
Lin's father gritted his teeth, trembling all over, and looked down at the train ticket at his feet. The girl's slender hand reached over him, bent down and picked it up. As she squatted down, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Coward! Bah!"
This act of kicking someone when they're down infuriated Grandpa Lin, who shouted angrily, "Let's go!"
Standing in the Lin family's courtyard, Dong Wei arrogantly raised his chin and said, "Liu Zi, take some men to escort Old Master Lin and the others to the train station."
...
Liu Zi and a few brothers called some rickshaws to take them to the train station. But calling it a farewell was more like they were afraid the girls would run away.
She and Lin's mother sat in one rickshaw, while Lin's grandfather and grandmother sat in another rickshaw. Lin's father sat alone with his sixth son; they were considered "hostages."
Lin Yuxi took out the train ticket from the envelope. It was a green train that took more than forty hours, departing from Shanghai, passing through Xinluo Town, and then heading to Qinghe Village Production Brigade, where the cadres of Qinghe Village would meet her.
Taking a car is nothing compared to sitting for over forty hours, which is a bit tiring and somewhat torturous.
People around them were pointing and whispering. Fortunately, no one was willing to throw away their rotten vegetable leaves. These days, they would save them to feed the chickens. Otherwise, given their current situation, they would probably be covered in rotten leaves.
In half an hour, the rickshaws moved quickly, and five rickshaws took us to the train station.
A bustling crowd lined up at the entrance, each carrying large and small bags, except for Lin Yuxi and her group of a few, who were empty-handed.
In addition to a train ticket, a letter of introduction is also required to enter the train station.
The letter of introduction clearly stated that they boarded the train because they were being sent to the countryside, and the ticket inspector's expression immediately turned sour.
"Sent down to the countryside?"
Her tone was disdainful, her eyes were cold and disdainful as she swept her gaze over the group of people. Her voice rose, and everyone around heard it.
“They’re all dressed so smartly, but they’re all heartless and restless.” She urged impatiently, “What are you dawdling for? Go inside and wait.”
There's a clock at the train station that says it's only 12 o'clock, but the train doesn't depart until 11 pm, leaving the family sitting there doing nothing.
Grandpa Lin didn't stand on ceremony. He found an empty spot and sat down on the ground. "You should sit down for a while too. You must be tired from walking all this way."
The family was in the waiting room, but Liu Zi outside smoked one cigarette after another, standing there for three hours until his legs felt weak and he could no longer stand.
“He must have found all those things yesterday, otherwise he wouldn’t have let us go like that,” Grandpa Lin said, sitting on the ground in deep thought.
Lin Yuxi raised an eyebrow and said in a cool, indifferent voice, "Hmm, let them fight like dogs."
