The old woman's head was full of feudal remnants. She thought that since Sister Hong had married into her family, she would be a member of her family in life and a ghost in death. She felt that Sister Hong was not decent and deserved to be tortured to death by her.
Qin Huai said, "Sister Hong, are you just going to endure this?"
Sister Hong said, "She's old, what can I do?"
"I think the captain should teach her a lesson. Don't worry about it. I'll go talk to her right away."
This old man and this child were so infuriating that Sister Hong couldn't stop them. The old woman looked at Qin Huai's back and sneered, "You are such an immoral woman! You let your lover ruin your family."
Sister Hong gritted her teeth and said nothing.
The captain heard this and said, "I know about this. Go and do what you need to do."
Qin Huai said, "Uncle, this is not a trivial matter. You must take it to heart. I am at my wit's end with that old woman. I can't hit her, I can't scold her, and the most important thing is that I can't convince her."
On the way back to the city, Maggie Cheung asked, "Qin Huai, Sister Hong is such a good person. Her family treats her badly. Can't she remarry?"
As women of the new era, are they encouraged by newspapers and radio all day long to bravely pursue their own happiness?
"The countryside and the city are two different worlds. Sister Hong endured it willingly because she couldn't let go of her seven-year-old son, Goudan. Besides, rural women accept suffering and never live for themselves. They think suffering is just bad luck, so they grit their teeth and endure it, thinking that after a certain period of endurance, a better life will follow."
This is completely different from the world that Maggie Cheung understands. She feels that she might suffocate if she lives in such an environment.
Walking into Yu Zhennan's house, Song Yu came out and said, "Keke, Qin Huai, you're back."
"I'm back, auntie."
"How's your dad?"
Zhang Keyi happily told her the news that Qin Huai had helped her father change the farm. Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good. From now on, just send him some food regularly. You don't have to worry about him starving to death."
"Qin Huai helped with all this, Auntie. If it were me, I wouldn't have thought of all this even if I found the place myself."
Song Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and said absentmindedly: "Qin Huai really helped us a lot."
Qin Huai said, "Sister-in-law, we are not outsiders, so why are we being so polite? Where is Brother Yu being held? Do you have any information now?"
Song Yu shook her head and said, "Not yet..." Then she suddenly hugged her head and burst into tears, saying, "Qin Huai, I dreamed that he was shot. Is he dead?"
Qin Huai said, "Sister-in-law, don't let your imagination run wild. I'll help you find out first. If that doesn't work, we'll find another way. I'll definitely help you find Brother Yu as soon as possible."
"Old Yu has a heart disease, I'm worried about his health..." In the past few days, Yu Zhennan has disappeared, and no one has found his body. Song Yu used to be so calm, but now she can't control her fear in front of Qin Huai, an outsider.
Qin Huai said, "Zhang Keyi, you stay with your sister-in-law. I'll go find someone to ask."
He drove to the cafeteria and found the fat man there. The fat man actually recognized him and said, "It's you..."
Qin Huai said, "I came to ask you about Brother Yu. Does your factory know where he is being held?"
The fat man pulled him aside and said, "I did hear the deputy director say once that he was being held in the detention center in the back mountain. I heard he's about to be sentenced."
"Detention center? Is this news confirmed?"
The fat man nodded and said, "Yes, the deputy director has been acting so recklessly these past few days, as if the director has been arrested. The whole factory can't stand it."
This kind of power struggle is inevitable no matter where you are. After Yu Zhennan was arrested, there was a power vacuum in the factory. Regardless of whether they were qualified or not, those who felt they had their place jumped out.
Qin Huai said, "Okay, I'll go out and ask around. Thank you."
The fat man said, "You must find a way to get the factory director out as soon as possible, but don't let a villain like the deputy factory director get away with it."
After hearing his intention, Qin Wei said, "You only care about causing trouble for me. Others wouldn't even have time to avoid this kind of thing, but you're the only one rushing forward. Aren't you stupid?"
Qin Huai said, "Uncle Qin Wei, I'm just a farmer. Yu Zhennan is my great benefactor. If I don't help him when he gets into trouble, how can I still be considered a human being? I'm just a farmer, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"That's one of your strengths, but don't try to show off in this kind of situation. Just do your best."
Song Yu had been looking for him for many days but hadn't seen him. Qin Huai got the news as soon as he asked, and he didn't know what went wrong.
Qin Wei gave Qin Huai a name, drove to the detention center, knocked on the door, and a man came out and asked, "Who's looking for me?"
Qin Huai said hurriedly: "Director Cui, Qin Wei asked me to come to you. My name is Qin Huai, and I am his nephew."
After hearing his story, Director Cui Qizheng asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Uncle Cui, I wanted to ask, what crime did Yu Zhennan from the chemical plant commit? Is he imprisoned here?"
Director Cui said, "Old Qin is really trying to make trouble for me. Yu Zhennan's case was designated by the Commissioner for strict handling, and his family members are not allowed to see him. Aren't you making it difficult for me?"
"Commissioner?"
Could it be Zhao Qishan?
Thinking of this, Qin Huai hurriedly said, "Uncle Cui, I won't make things difficult for you. I just want to see Yu Zhennan, okay? His family is worried to death."
Director Cui said, "Okay, but it can't take too long. Come in with me."
Qin Huai was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Uncle Cui, thank you so much."
Director Cui didn't correct his way of addressing him: "Don't be polite, let's go."
After not seeing each other for a long time, Yu Zhennan had lost a lot of weight. When he saw Qin Huai sitting down, he asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Huai said, "My sister-in-law was so worried about you and couldn't find you anywhere. It was only when Maggie Cheung told me that I found out."
After hearing the name, Yu Zhennan looked strange. Their friendship was broken because of Maggie Cheung, and now Qin Huai came to find him because of Maggie Cheung.
As soon as Qin Huai saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking. In order to break the awkwardness, he immediately told him:
"Brother Yu, I have good news for you. I've moved Uncle Zhang Houchang's labor camp to another location. The food ration there is only one and a half kilograms a day. At least they won't starve to death, so you don't have to worry."
This news shocked Yu Zhennan. He then looked Qin Huai in the eye and said, "I never thought of this. Thank you so much."
Qin Huai said, "Don't be polite to me."
At this point, the atmosphere suddenly became strange. Yu Zhennan said, "Qin Huai, you solved my biggest worry."
Qin Huai said: "Maggie Cheung is also my friend."
Yu Zhennan stared at him intently, not saying anything for a long time. After a while, he said with difficulty, "You don't blame me?"
"Brother Yu, I have only gratitude towards you and never any resentment."
Yu Zhennan smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that in my life, I, Yu Zhennan, would do such a stupid thing with you. Qin Huai, you are great. I feel sorry for you."
