Chapter 83
Facing the pointing and criticizing of passers-by, Guan's father and mother felt their hearts turn cold.
They looked at their daughter slumped on the ground and realized deeply that Uncle Guan Jingyuan was right and they should not have rushed over rashly. The young man in this family is a kind-hearted man. As a soldier, he is upright and cannot tolerate any injustice. But at the same time, he also takes the relationship into consideration, so he did not expose the truth at the beginning.
They kept pestering him and refused to give in, and finally, in front of everyone, Guan Jingyuan's true identity was revealed.
Guan Jingyuan raised his head and looked at Jiang Cheng.
Before, his feelings for her were hidden in his eyes.
It can be seen that he no longer has any attachment to me.
For a lesbian, the humiliation and embarrassment of having so many people know about her involvement with a married man is no less than being stripped in public.
Guan Jingyuan felt so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into, but at the same time, she didn't want Jiang Cheng to see her like that.
She stood up and said to Jiang Cheng, "I did have a relationship with Wu Deyao, but that was in the past. It was Ruan Wenwen who asked me to apply for the job as a salesperson. She said that your family is all good people, and as long as I behave well and become your daughter-in-law, my life in the future will definitely be better than when I was with Wu Deyao. But Jiang Cheng, after meeting you, I really like you and really want to get along with you."
After a pause, she laughed at herself and said, "You may not believe it. You are right. I have told too many lies. I told one lie and then had to use thousands of lies to cover it up. I am really not worthy of you."
Finally, with red eyes, she said sincerely: "When we meet again in the future, will we still be friends?"
Jiang Cheng stood straight and looked at her: "No."
At first, Guan Jingyuan thought that with Jiang Cheng's personality, he might give her another chance. After all, she was secretly with Wu Deyao while she was with him. That experience was a stain in her life, but it was only a stain in the past.
However, after meeting his eyes, Guan Jingyuan knew that everything was impossible.
His eyes were upright and firm, and even revealed a bit of pity.
It's pity, not sympathy.
As if asking her why she was so stupid as to put herself in such a situation?
As if a bucket of cold water was poured on him, Guan Jingyuan turned his eyes away: "I understand, you are a good person, I shouldn't provoke you."
"Stop talking!" Father Guan was furious. "Isn't this embarrassing enough? You've even embarrassed yourself in the city! If your aunt finds out and spreads it back to the village, will you ever be able to get married in this life?"
Passersby sneered.
"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about whether you'll be able to get married in the future."
"It seems that this girl is sincere to this boy, but people just can't make a wrong step."
"Lesbians still need to respect themselves and love themselves."
"Then again, this kind of thing is not just the problem of that lesbian. If I were the family of this lesbian, I would definitely go to that old man's house and make a scene, making everyone's life miserable!"
These words fell into Guan Jingyuan's ears.
Meng Jinyu walked up to her and said, "This matter started with you, so you should end it yourself."
…
Ruan Wenwen packed her luggage and walked up to Gao Jingqing.
"Ms. Gao, I'm going to quit my job and go back home."
"The child is still young. I originally wanted to earn some money for a few years and then go back to take care of her. But recently my family wrote me a letter saying that the child cried all day at home and missed her mother. After reading the letter, I felt really bad and decided to go home."
Gao Jingqing's health has been getting weaker and weaker recently. She leaned against the head of the bed and said to Wu Deyao, "Please send her off."
Wu Deyao immediately listened to his wife and got up to see her off. But soon, he came back.
"Has the person left?" Gao Jingqing asked.
"She's gone." Wu Deyao said, "Do you believe now that there's nothing between me and her? If there really was something going on, would I still let her go?"
Gao Jingqing closed her eyes and said nothing.
In fact, as early as the moment Meng Jinyu reminded her, she had already realized that the relationship between Wu Deyao and Ruan Wenwen was not that simple.
However, from then on, Wu Deyao and Ruan Wenwen became particularly cautious and did not even say a word to each other when they were at home.
Gao Jingqing is not stupid, but her health is like this now, is she still asking for a divorce?
Just turn a blind eye.
Wu Deyao came over with a shameless face: "Jingqing, we have been together for so many years, don't you understand my feelings for you? Now our factory is getting more and more profitable, and I want to buy a batch of goods. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are coming over for dinner soon, so why not discuss it with them..."
"When we set up the factory, my parents had already spent a lot of money, so how could there be any extra?" said Gao Jingqing.
Wu Deyao wanted to say a few more words, but Gao Jingqing had already rubbed his temples.
"I want to rest for a while," she said.
"Bang, bang, bang--" At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Wu Deyao stood up immediately and said happily: "It must be your parents!"
But who would have thought that when he hurried to open the door, he saw Guan Jingyuan, Ruan Wenwen, Meng Jinyu, and a rural couple he had never seen before.
Wu Deyao was stunned and subconsciously wanted to close the door, but Meng Jinyu kicked the door and rushed in, grabbing Ruan Wenwen's clothes.
Guan Jingyuan's parents followed behind and wanted to step forward and tear Wu Deyao's lips to pieces, but they held back.
Hearing the noise, Gao Jingqing stood up with difficulty.
Seeing Meng Jinyu, she was startled: "Comrade Meng, this is——"
Ruan Wenwen's face turned pale and she wanted to escape, but she was not as strong as Meng Jinyu and was being dragged away, looking miserable.
Guan Jingyuan said: "Let me explain it."
She took a deep breath and told the whole story.
Guan Jingyuan came to Dejing Garment Factory three months ago.
She had no academic qualifications and no relevant work experience, but as soon as she entered the factory, she was highly valued by Wu Deyao. In the final analysis, it was naturally her pretty face that made her successful.
"At that time, Wu Deyao told me that his wife was dying and asked me to live with him. He said he had a lot of money and a big house, and if I followed him, I wouldn't have to live a hard life anymore."
Gao Jingqing couldn't believe it and his whole body was shaking.
He clearly told her that she was just weak and that she would be able to get better as long as she paid more attention to her. But when she got outside, she was told she was dying.
Also, she only thought that Ruan Wenwen had some unclean relationship with him, but she didn't expect that another one would pop up here.
"I followed him for a while. But more than two months later, Ruan Wenwen came to me. She said she could give me a good way out and asked me to give Wu Deyao to her." Guan Jingyuan looked at Meng Jinyu, "She originally took me to your store to find a job, but it just so happened that not long after we arrived at your store, we ran into another female comrade who came for an interview. Ruan Wenwen said that she had already hired someone, so she sent her away and asked me to pretend to be her and pretend that I was introduced by an acquaintance. In this way, as long as I perform well, you will give face to the familiar customer and let me stay in the store directly."
Wu Deyao was stunned. He stared at Ruan Wenwen, gritting his teeth in hatred.
Compared with Ruan Wenwen, he prefers the young and beautiful Guan Jingyuan, but Guan Jingyuan insisted on leaving, and he had no choice.
Who knew that Guan Jingyuan didn't leave on her own initiative, but Ruan Wenwen drove her away!
"That day I felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to vomit. I suspected I was pregnant, so I went back to Wu Deyao. Wu Deyao said that his wife didn't lay eggs, and if I gave birth to the child, he would marry me immediately. But I didn't want to marry him, I was just afraid. Fortunately, after going to the hospital, the test results confirmed that I was not pregnant." Guan Jingyuan smiled bitterly, "I thought that from then on, I could break up with Wu Deyao, but the report form I left at the hospital might have been accidentally seen by Jiang Cheng, and he checked and found out what I had done."
Gao Jingqing pointed her finger at Wu Deyao, her breath unsteady: "Not laying eggs... You said such an unpleasant thing?"
"I don't know what you are talking about. It has nothing to do with me." Ruan Wenwen turned around in panic and was about to leave when Meng Jinyu grabbed her wrist and threw her forward fiercely.
She was caught off guard and fell to the ground, half-kneeling in front of Gao Jingqing.
Gao Jingqing wanted to hit her, but as soon as he raised his hand, he had no strength left and it slowly fell down.
"I'm sorry." Guan Jingyuan said to Gao Jingqing, "It's my fault. I should never have destroyed your family. But your husband is also a black-hearted person. He rented a house outside and let Ruan Wenwen live there. When she went to buy groceries, the two of them stayed in that house for two hours before going home."
Wu Deyao shouted: "Nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Guan Jingyuan's voice became sharp. "You still want to quibble! I know a lot. The store you opened for Ruan Wenwen will open tomorrow, right?"
Gao Jingqing understood everything.
No wonder Ruan Wenwen resigned. She didn’t go back to her hometown, but became a boss’s wife.
Ruan Wenwen was desperate, and after a long while, she said, "Even if you tell me, what can it do? It won't do any good except make me feel bad."
Guan Jingyuan gritted his teeth and spoke word by word: "I hate you! I don't want any benefits, I want to make you all suffer!"
The huge blow made Gao Jingqing's breathing increasingly difficult. She held onto the wall and finally sat down.
Meng Jinyu came over and said, "Comrade Gao, are you okay?"
Gao Jingqing covered her face with her hands and started crying: "I just feel so useless. Even in this situation, I can't do anything about them."
Wu Deyao looked at her, feeling overwhelmed.
If it was a teenage girl crying pitifully with tears in her eyes, he would definitely comfort her with heartache.
But the woman in front of him was his wife, a fifty-year-old wife, no longer young and beautiful, and in poor health. She had long lost all appeal to him.
He just felt annoyed listening to her crying.
But it was precisely because of this that he felt confident.
He walked over and said to Gao Jingqing, "I'll let them both go and I'll never associate with them again. I'm not going to open that clothing store anymore. I'm going to transfer it to someone else now. Don't be angry. Let's live a good life in the future, okay?"
Ruan Wenwen rushed over: "No! The clothing store is mine, you promised to let me be the boss lady!"
Wu Deyao pushed Ruan Wenwen away irritably.
Ruan Wenwen fell to the ground. After she came to her senses, she stepped forward and tore Wu Deyao's clothes: "I have followed you for such a long time, and you have not given me any benefits. Now you come to the clothing store and you don't even..."
"Get out of here!" Wu Deyao slapped her hard.
Ruan Wenwen's mouth was bleeding and she screamed.
"It's you who should go!" An old voice came from outside the house.
Gao Jingqing's parents walked in, supported by her brother.
Just now, the two of them met these three female comrades at the gate of the yard.
After listening to Meng Jinyu's words, they decided to stay at the gate of the yard and wait until Wu Deyao revealed his true identity before coming in.
After hearing what the two heroines said when they confronted him, the Gao family members were furious and rushed into the house.
"Wu Deyao, we handed Jingqing over to you, you really deserve her!"
"We paid for the factory and the compound. You are the one who should get out of this house!"
Gao Jingqing's body was trembling. After a long while, she said with tears in her eyes, "Dad, Mom, Brother..."
The Gao family was heartbroken.
Gao Jingqing's brother walked up to her and gently put his hand on her shoulder: "I will help you with this matter. Don't worry, take care of yourself first."
Wu Deyao's pupils suddenly dilated.
It’s over. Even the Gao family knows about this incident.
How could he possibly be a match for Gao Jingqing's elder brother?
…
Youyou was afraid that Jiang would get lost because of homesickness, so she took her hand and walked around the streets after leaving the house.
She walked to the left and felt that the place looked familiar. She walked to the right and felt that she was not in the wrong place.
"Sister, didn't you say you knew the way?" Jiang Xiangjia asked weakly.
Youyou wondered, "Yes, I recognize it. But why is the road different?"
Youyou went to Gao Jingqing's house with her mother to deliver clothes.
That time, Meng Jinyu was worried about her going home alone after school and was afraid that she would be targeted by Teacher Peng, so she came to pick her up after school every day. But sometimes, before Meng Jinyu has finished her work, Youyou will follow her back to the stall or to deliver goods.
Once, Meng Jinyu took her to Gao Jingqing's house and told her that Ruan Wenwen was working as a nanny in this person's home.
"Why did the road change? Sister, did you remember it wrong?" Jiang Xiangjia asked.
Youyou frowned: "No way..."
So Jiang Xiangjia followed Youyou obediently, walking from the beginning of the street to the end of the street, then turning a corner and going to another street, and then walking from the beginning of the street to the end of the street again.
Jiang missed home and was tired. After sitting on the train for such a long time and walking all the time, her feet were covered with blisters. But for some reason, she just felt that her sister was extraordinary. Just follow my sister and you will never go wrong!
"Are you thirsty?" Youyou asked.
Jiang Xiangjia nodded: "But I don't have a kettle."
Youyou touched her pocket. She was in such a hurry to go out that she forgot to bring money.
"I have a solution!" Youyou took Jiang Xiangjia to the door of a restaurant.
It's not a restaurant yet, and the waiters in the small restaurant are sitting there chatting lazily. Hearing the sound of the door opening, several waitresses looked over curiously. Just as they were about to stand up and start working, they saw that it was a child of five or six years old, so they sat back down.
Jiang Xiangjia had never been to a restaurant like this before. He looked around curiously, then stopped, turned around and hid behind Youyou.
The waitresses then noticed the little girl who had been following the boy with green eyes.
At this moment, the little girl stood in front of her little green eyes, grinning, revealing her sweet dimples, and said obediently: "Sister, can you give me and my sister a glass of water?"
"Sure." A waitress stood up, took a cup and poured a glass of boiled water for Youyou. After thinking for a while, she took another cup and poured a glass for Jiang Xiangjia.
“Thank you, sister!” Youyou tilted her head and said softly, “Next time I’ll ask mom to bring me here for dinner!”
The child was cute and polite, and immediately made the waitresses laugh.
Jiang Xiangjia held the cup of water in both hands and drank it all in one gulp. He couldn't help but glance at Youyou who was chatting with others.
My sister is so lovable!
It's another day of worshipping my sister.
At this time, Jiang Guo was standing outside the small restaurant, watching Youyou and Jiang Xiangjia drinking water inside, with a confused look on his face.
She had been following them both from behind. Although he didn't want to care about Jiang Xiangjia, Youyou was his sister. If she got lost, where would he find her?
Jiang Guo was too lazy to talk to Jiang Xiangjia, so he kept his distance from them. He thought that everything would be fine after Youyou sent the little guy back to Ruan Wenwen's house, but who would have thought that Youyou would actually bring the kid into the restaurant to ask for water.
Jiang Guo curled her lips, thinking that her sister was too polite to the little guy.
She stepped back and waited not far away.
Finally, Youyou and Jiang Xiangjia drank their fill.
Two people came out of the restaurant.
"I remember now, there is a hospital where your mother lives." Youyou said, turning around and waving, "Sister, come here quickly, I know where it is!"
Jiang Xiangjia also blinked her green eyes: "Big sister, come here!"
Ginger: ...
So, they both knew that they were following them?
Once Youyou remembered the general direction of Gao Jingqing's home, the matter became easier. She took Jiang Xiangjia with her, taking quick steps and asking for directions in a soft voice when she met someone.
"There are two hospitals nearby. Do you want to find the one with the red roof or the one with the white roof?" someone squatted down and asked.
Youyou said seriously, "It's the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing City."
The corners of the passerby's mouth twitched.
When I saw the cute little girl, I couldn't help but talk to her in a coaxing tone, and I almost forgot that the little girl was already old enough to recognize words.
"The Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing is just in front. I'll take you there." The passerby said with a smile.
After that, everything went smoothly.
Youyou and Jiang miss home and find Gao Jingqing's house.
From a distance, they saw the chaotic scene.
Wu Deyao was pinned to the ground and beaten by Guan Jingyuan's parents, while Ruan Wenwen screamed and cursed at Guan Jingyuan and started fighting.
Gao Jingqing's parents and elder brother were educated people. They did not hit anyone. The whole family stood aside and watched the scene coldly.
"Cough, cough, cough--" Gao Jingqing covered her mouth and coughed a few times, her face turning red.
Meng Jinyu asked: "When did you start to have health problems?"
Gao Jingqing thought for a moment and said, "I worked too hard for the garment factory. I got up early and went to bed late every day. I didn't eat or sleep well. Then I got seriously ill and recovered very slowly, so I left the factory. However, my health has been getting worse in the past few months."
"Has it been nearly three months?" Meng Jinyu asked.
Gao Jingqing was stunned for a moment.
Meng Jinyu's gaze fell on Ruan Wenwen, with profound meaning.
This was the first time she suspected Ruan Wenwen like this. She had no substantial evidence, but she suddenly felt that if Ruan Wenwen could drive Guan Jingyuan away for the sake of her own status, then how could she tolerate Gao Jingqing?
Brother Gao Jingqing's eyes darkened. "Comrade, thank you for your reminder. We will investigate thoroughly. If it is really because of this woman that my sister's health is getting worse, then I will never let her go."
On the other side, Youyou, her sister, and Jiang Xiangjia were standing not far away, looking at Ruan Wenwen.
"It seems like your mother is in trouble again." Youyou said.
Jiang Xiangjia asked in confusion: "How did she get into trouble?"
Youyou shook her head: “I don’t know.”
Ruan Wenwen and Guan Jingyuan were wrestling with each other, and it was unclear who would win when a childish shout came into their ears.
"Mother."
Ruan Wenwen frowned, turned her head suddenly, and saw Jiang Xiangjia.
At this moment, Guan Jingyuan grabbed her hair and pulled it hard.
Ruan Wenwen ignored the pain and stared at her daughter blankly.
No matter how much you don’t love a child born after ten months of pregnancy, your heart will always be shocked at the first sight of the child.
At this moment, she looked at Jiang Xiangjia stupidly, and after a moment, the child ran over.
"Mom!" Jiang Xiangjia said.
Ruan Wenwen was silent for a long time: "How do you recognize me?"
Jiang Xiangjia said: "I have seen your photo."
Ruan Wenwen pointed at Meng Jinyu who was standing at the entrance of the yard and said, "I look like her, how do you know that I'm your mother?"
Jiang Xiangjia sighed: "Second aunt said that you look like my sister's mother, but you are not as pretty as her, not as white as her, and not as fashionable as her."
Ruan Wenwen became even more annoyed.
…
When Meng Jinyu left Gao Jingqing's house, Ruan Wenwen also took Jiang Xiangjia back home.
The mother and daughter looked very strange to each other.
The child is innocent, but he is Ruan Wenwen's own child, and Meng Jinyu will not care.
She took Youyou and Jiang Guo home and helped Jiang Cheng pack their luggage.
Jiang Cheng is going back to the army.
This time, as excited as he was to go home, he felt as guilty as he left.
He was too naive and acted impulsively, and got into a relationship that he shouldn't have.
Youyou patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder vigorously and comforted him like a little adult: "No way, brother is already very smart. If you hadn't noticed that something was wrong with her, you wouldn't have found so much evidence!"
On the way home just now, Youyou had heard her mother and sister talk about what happened between Jiang Cheng and Guan Jingyuan. She didn't understand some of the details, but subconsciously stood on her brother's side unconditionally.
Maybe my brother is not so perfect, but no one is perfect.
Meng Jinyu looked at Jiang Cheng's frustrated expression and felt a little emotional.
In recent years, their family has been doing well. The only bad thing is probably this incident.
But life is always full of twists and turns. The indecisive Jiang Cheng was able to break up with Guan Jingyuan immediately after realizing something was wrong and went looking for evidence. This was already progress.
"Guoguo, Youyou, I'm sorry. It's because of me that you were bullied by her." Jiang Cheng said.
That day, before taking Guan Jingyuan home for dinner, he had already seen the hospital test report. He had already decided to break up with her, but unexpectedly, at the dinner table, Jiang Guo and Youyou told him that she had bullied them.
Even if Guan Jingyuan refused to admit it, Jiang Cheng knew that his two sisters would not lie.
Being trustworthy is one thing, but not showing up at the first moment when the sisters were bullied and failing to protect them is another.
Youyou waved her hand: "It's okay, just treat me to some candied haws next time you come back!"
"I want one too!" Jiang Guo said, "Shan Shan wants three candied haws too!"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go buy it right away!"
Looking at Jiang Cheng's hurried back, Meng Jinyu laughed and shouted from behind: "Don't miss the train!"
But Jiang Cheng had already run far away.
Youyou sat down with a smile, waiting for her candied haws.
That must be the biggest and sweetest candied haws she has ever eaten!
…
After a while, Meng Jinyu heard Gao Jingqing say that she and Wu Deyao had divorced.
I heard that at the beginning, Wu Deyao was crying and refusing to leave, but Gao Jingqing's elder brother was not a pushover and did not give him any chance to get close to his sister.
The subsequent liquidation of property took several days. The Gao family produced evidence of investment in setting up factories and buying houses, and after some entanglement, they forced Wu Deyao to leave the house with nothing.
Gao Jingqing had been clinging to this failed marriage, thinking that turning a blind eye would make her feel better. But after getting the divorce certificate, she felt suddenly enlightened.
It turns out that even if you are already fifty years old, you can still start a new life.
The winter vacation was over, and in March of 1983, Youyou returned to school.
As soon as Huang Ziqi saw her and Wen Yan, he showed a resentful expression again.
This is the last semester of elementary school, and he must get excellent grades!
It was the first time that Youyou saw such a stubborn elementary school student, and she couldn’t help but observe him for a long time.
When she and Wen Yan were playing, he was studying. When she and Wen Yan were going home from school, he was studying. She also heard from the teacher that day that he would study until the early morning even after going home.
Youyou couldn't help but say, "Huang Ziqi, if you go to bed so late every day, you won't grow taller."
Huang Ziqi said seriously: "Being tall can't be used to make a living."
“Even if you get first place in the class, it can’t be used to make a living.” Wen Yan said in shock.
Huang Ziqi was so angry that he put down his book: "Then why did you two insist on getting first place?"
"Huang Ziqi, relax a little." Youyou held her cheeks and said softly.
Huang Ziqi said nothing and continued to study hard.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
When the final exam came, Huang Ziqi worked hard and was determined to get the first place in the class.
Youyou and Wen Yan felt that this classmate seemed to be going crazy.
After the final exam results came out, Youyou and Wen Yan ran to get their transcripts together. Unexpectedly, they still ranked first and second in the class.
Youyou and Wen Yan looked at each other.
Huang Ziqi held the third place report card, his eyes became completely dim, even the last glimmer of light disappeared.
His head was buzzing, and he lowered his head and packed up the books on his desk.
When putting the book back into his bag, his elbow accidentally touched the test paper of Youyou at the next table.
Huang Ziqi looked at the messy desk and felt dissatisfied.
Youyou is heartless. She smiles like a kid in nursery class all day long and doesn't care about studying at all. How come she always does so well in exams?
He squatted down and picked up Youyou's paper to look at it.
Looking at the last big question on Youyou's math test, he was stunned.
Then, he immediately went to look for Wen Yan's paper.
"You are deliberately letting me go..." Huang Ziqi was stunned, "Why did you leave the last big question blank? It's not difficult, I know it, how could you not know it?"
Wen Yan turned to look at Youyou and asked quietly, "Didn't you finish the last question either?"
Youyou and Wen Yan didn't discuss it beforehand. They both tacitly agreed to let the test go and left the last big question on the math test blank.
Huang Ziqi sat down weakly, his eyes red.
The little boy didn't want to show his vulnerable side in front of his classmates, so he covered his eyes with his arms and bit his mouth tightly.
Wen Yan poked his arm: "Don't be sad."
Youyou whispered, "I'm sorry, I thought you cared a lot about this exam, and I wanted you to have no regrets, so I did this."
Huang Ziqi remained silent the entire time.
It was not until Youyou and Wen Yan thought that he didn't want to pay attention to them that he choked up and said, "It's not me who cares about this exam, it's my dad."
Youyou blinked.
Huang Ziqi seemed to have finally found someone he could talk to, and he slowly released the pressure that had been weighing on his heart for a long time.
It turns out that his obsession with exam ranking was given by his father.
Huang Ziqi's father was dull and cowardly. Because he was the most hopeless child in the family, he was not valued by his parents. It was not until the first grade of elementary school that Huang Ziqi achieved excellent grades in the exams and his family finally held their heads high among the big family. From then on, Huang's father was very strict with Huang Ziqi, requiring him to become the best child and bring honor to himself.
"My father asked me to get the top score in the class, go to college, and get a good job after graduation. He said he wanted to work in a design institute because he had an old friend who worked there and it was very respectable," said Huang Ziqi.
"I can't do anything about him." Huang Ziqi lowered his eyes. "This is the last exam, and he's doing worse and worse. He's going to be disappointed again."
Wen Yan said, "Otherwise, when you enter junior high school, you can take an exam and get the last place in the class. After that, no matter what place you get in the next exam, it will be considered progress."
Youyou said disdainfully: "This is a bad idea."
Huang Ziqi raised his head: "Then do you have a good idea?"
Youyou said, "Ask your father, did he get the third-best score in the class? Can he get into college? Can he enter the design institute?"
Huang Ziqi frowned: "Can I ask this question?"
"Okay, listen to me." Youyou said confidently, "Why should he ask you to complete something he can't do himself?"
Huang Ziqi pondered for a moment and said, "I think it makes sense. I will ask about it when I get home tonight."
Youyou looked at him with relief.
But after thinking about it, she still said: "If he wants to beat you, just run to our compound, Wen Yan and I will protect you."
"Wen Yan." Youyou said, "Write down the address of our compound for Huang Ziqi."
Wen Yan immediately did as he was told, and at the end he reminded him: "Remember to resist!"
…
In mid-July, the sixth grade students of elementary school stood on the playground and took a graduation photo.
Afterwards, Youyou got her first diploma.
She was so proud that she put her arm around Wen Yan's shoulders and said excitedly, "Wen Yan, I'm an educated person with a primary school diploma!"
"What's so great about a primary school diploma? I want to get a junior high school diploma!" Wen Yan said.
"Then I want to get a high school diploma!" Youyou said loudly.
Wen Yan didn't even think about it: "I still have to get a college diploma."
Youyou smiled and said crisply: "I still want to get a graduate degree!"
Wen Yan was stunned.
After graduate school, what diploma do you get?
Seeing the two elementary school students bickering, Huang Ziqi walked over.
He rarely smiled: "Youyou, Wen Yan, thank you."
"Does your father know that he is wrong?" Youyou asked.
"No, he said he was not wrong." Huang Ziqi shook his head and added, "But he was so angry that he cried."
Youyou’s eyes widened and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Huang Ziqi said seriously: "Wen Yan, Youyou, I will remember what you said. Relax a little. Even if I only ranked third, I am already very capable."
"If we can still meet in junior high school--" Huang Ziqi asked hesitantly, "Can the three of us be friends by then?"
After he finished speaking, Huang Ziqi held his graduation certificate tightly in his hand.
He has never made any friends since he was a child because he is afraid of being rejected.
One second passed, two seconds passed...
Suddenly, Youyou said loudly: "Of course!"
Huang Ziqi raised his head.
A ray of sunshine fell on Youyou's body.
She grinned, her clear eyes were bright, and her smile was brighter than the sun.
"No need to wait until junior high school, we are friends now!"
Wen Yan nodded vigorously: "You can come and visit us during the summer vacation. I wrote down the address for you last time!"
Huang Ziqi's nose suddenly felt sore.
He has friends.
…
After several months of rest, Gao Jingqing's physical condition is getting better and better, and he can walk a few steps without getting out of breath.
During this period, Brother Gao had been trying to collect evidence and took all the bottles and jars in the house for testing. The test took a long time, and when the results came out, it was confirmed that there were indeed residues of chronic poison in several bottles that looked ordinary, as well as in the bowls of medicine specially used for Gao Jingqing.
He handed the evidence to the public security comrades, but Gu Zhimin asked his subordinates not to alert the enemy for the time being.
After investigation, the police determined that Ruan Wenwen had no way to deny her crime, so they arrested her at the end of July.
Ruan Wenwen almost fainted.
She cried and said, "I didn't do this. I really didn't do this! Police comrades, I still have a daughter to take care of, please let me go."
The public security comrades would laugh when they heard this: "Why didn't you think this way when you were harming people? Now if we let you sympathize with you and let you go, who will sympathize with the victim?"
"You can't wrongly accuse me! Even if Gao Jingqing's family has pesticides, who can prove that I brought them here? It could be Wu Deyao who poisoned her!"
At that time, Ruan Wenwen was afraid that Wu Deyao would think she was cruel and ruthless, so she kept it a secret from him. But now, in order to get out of this situation, she didn't care about so much. Anyway, he is unkind and she is unjust!
As for Gao Jingqing, she is not dead anyway, and she will be sentenced to a few years at most. Ruan Wenwen wants to delay it as long as possible, maybe she can bring hope.
Ruan Wenwen has always refused to plead guilty and dragged Wu Deyao into the case, so the case was still under investigation as of August 25th.
That day, Gu Zhimin found new evidence.
At that time, Ruan Wenwen bought pesticides and the seller of several other poisons was arrested.
At the same time, a policy decision was introduced to severely crack down on criminal activities, which was later known as the "severe crackdown".
Ruan Wenwen was sentenced to death.
…
Youyou didn't know what the death penalty was, but it sounded scary.
"Mom, you said she wants you to go see her. But she is barefoot now and is not afraid of wearing shoes. What if she hurts you?" Jiang Guo asked worriedly.
Ruan Wenwen will be executed in three days.
Before that, she made a request to meet Meng Jinyu.
Ruan Wenwen was worried that Meng Jinyu was unwilling to come, and said that they were sisters and she had something important to tell her.
These words were brought by Gu Zhimin.
"No, Uncle Gu will always be by my side." Meng Jinyu said, looking at Youyou, "Youyou, why do you look so absent-minded?"
She reached out and rubbed her daughter's soft face: "Do you think this news is too heavy? The law will punish the wicked. Our Youyou has known this for a long time. There is no need to sympathize with her."
"Mom, I don't sympathize with her." Youyou shook her head.
Jiang Guo was worried that Youyou might be frightened, so he changed the subject: "Youyou will start school in a few days. I wonder what interesting things you will encounter in junior high school?"
Youyou raised her head and looked at her sister: "Sister, will Jiang Xiangjia go to school?"
There is no child who is unwilling to stay with his or her mother. This time, Jiang Xiangjia lived with her mother for several months, and watched her mother being taken away by the police. She didn’t know how her mother was doing now.
"The police wanted to send Ruan Wenwen back to Fenglin Village after she was executed. I heard from your Uncle Gu that during this period, the child seemed to be taken home by a kind female police officer. But because the female police officer's family was reluctant, they temporarily sent her to an orphanage."
Youyou tilted her head and calculated.
That little guy must be only five or six years old.
A little kid of five or six years old would definitely be scared if he was sent here and thrown there.
"It would be nice if her father could come back to take care of her," Youyou whispered.
Meng Jinyu said: "If her father could come back at this critical moment, it would really be a good thing. But how could it be such a coincidence?"
…
In the welfare home, Jiang Xiangjia sat in the corner beside the bed, curled up.
The lights were off at this time and tears were glistening in her green eyes.
Since she was a child, her grandmother always told Jiang Xiangjia that she was the most beautiful, smart and lovely child.
She had been praised for so many years that she actually believed it.
But this time, she suddenly realized that she was not beautiful, not smart, and not cute.
All the qualities that could be praised have nothing to do with her.
She was an unpopular child, so a few months ago, her grandmother asked my uncle's family to send her away.
Her uncle and his family dropped her off at the door of her sister Youyou's house.
Sister Youyou returned her to her mother.
Jiang Xiangjia could feel that his mother disliked him very much.
Maybe it’s because she doesn’t look like her mother at all and is too ugly.
Later, her mother was arrested, and the police took her home and sent her to an orphanage.
Now, Jiang Xiangjia finally has a "home".
There are many, many little friends in this "home", and they are all children without the love of their parents.
How nice.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiangjia raised his black little hands and wiped the tears from his face.
