Du Yuhan felt it would be best to resolve the issue of her adoptive parents' family this time, so she said, "I would like to ask Dad to help me move my adoptive parents' family away from the Du family's old house as far away as possible. My adoptive parents' family is the second branch of the Du family, and they have long been bullied by the Du family matriarch and the other branches."
If it weren't for my adoptive parents saving every last bite of food for me all these years, I might have starved to death long ago. We must be clear about our gratitude and resentment; my adoptive parents have been kind to me, and I want to help them.
Although they've separated, they're still bound to be bullied wherever the people at the old Du family house can see them. I want them to leave that place, to move somewhere else, far away from the people at the old Du family house.”
Hearing his daughter's words, He Chenglin felt sympathy for the second branch of the Du family and nodded, saying, "That's not difficult. Our He family is one that always repays kindness. Your adoptive parents have been kind to our He family, so it's only right that we help them. I have an old subordinate who retired from the army and returned to his hometown in Northeast China. We've kept in touch all these years."
He was the village party secretary, and most of the villagers were of the same clan, so they were easy to talk to. Moreover, their area was sparsely populated with mountains and rivers, so as long as they worked hard, they wouldn't go hungry.
I think it shouldn't be a problem for him to take in your adoptive parents. Just say you're going to stay with relatives, and with his help, you won't be bullied.
I'll contact him later. You stay at home for a few days, and once you have news, you can try to ask your adoptive parents what they think.
Du Yuhan said happily, "That's great. The Northeast is wonderful. It has plenty of land and few people, mountains and rivers, and it's easier to get enough to eat."
You don't know, I heard that many places have been affected by disasters to varying degrees this year, and the affected areas are even expanding. The village where my adoptive parents live has a large population but little land, and the land is very barren. If there is a disaster, they will only go hungry.
"With the exploitation from those people at the Du family's old house, my family could starve to death. If my adoptive parents could leave those bloodsucking bastards at the Du family's old house and go to Northeast China, that would be wonderful. Please try to find some connections to see if they can be accepted there."
Yu Huiru stroked Du Yuhan's hair and said, "You don't need to be so polite with your family in the future. We are all family, and we are all your relatives."
He Chenglin nodded and said, "That's right. You are my daughter and I am your father. Why be so polite with your own father? I know you are still a little estranged from us after so many years of separation, but you will get used to it."
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "I know, it's just that I'm not used to it yet."
Yu Huiru said, "You also have an older brother in the army. Have your eldest brother call him later, he'll be overjoyed. He's always remembered that he has a younger sister and has been looking for you. He's asked around a lot over the years, and he's always hoped to find you."
Dinner was prepared by Yu Huiru and Du Yuhan together, and the He family had a reunion dinner that night.
The next day, He Chenglin and He Zhenhua went out early to deal with Zhang Shuanglian's matter. The He family could no longer accept a daughter-in-law like Zhang Shuanglian. They also wanted to send her lover to prison. Since she dared to mess with the He family, she should be prepared to be punished.
Zhang Shuanglian and her lover's crimes were considered very serious by today's standards, and the final result was that they were both imprisoned. Further pressure from the He family would only lead to a harsher sentence.
Yu Huiru still has a job, but she will be taking care of her grandson from now on, so she wants to apply for early retirement. Anyway, she had been thinking about retiring to stay home and take care of her grandson for a while, so she just went ahead and did it.
Everyone had things to do, so Du Yuhan stayed home to look after her nephew.
Xiao Haobo seems to really like his aunt. He doesn't cry or make a fuss when he's with Du Yuhan, and he seems quite happy.
He especially enjoyed the milk powder that Du Yuhan made for him.
Watching her little nephew eat so happily reminded Du Yuhan of her own son when he was a child.
They, mother and son, will never meet again in this life. I hope he won't be too sad after losing his mother in his original world. He also has several grandchildren, but they will never be with him in this life either.
The eldest grandson is now an adult, excelling in both character and academics, and possesses exceptional abilities. Zhou Zhengye has always wanted his eldest grandson to return and inherit the family business, after all, he is Zhou Zhengye's own grandson. Zhou Zhengye cannot leave the family business he built to a collateral branch of the family.
It was precisely because of this that some of the Zhou family's collateral relatives disliked her grandsons, even regarding them as thorns in their side, and repeatedly created trouble to try and harm them.
Zhou Zhengye was furious about this and declared that she would never leave the family business to those collateral relatives. However, for the safety of her children, she ultimately did not object to her eldest grandson inheriting everything from the Zhou family, which was also to protect her own family.
As long as her grandson holds the power of the Zhou family in his hands, those unscrupulous collateral relatives of the Zhou family will have nothing left to cause trouble.
She didn't want to pass on the grudges of the previous generation to her children. Although she treated Zhou Zhengye like a stranger, she wouldn't stop her children from getting close to him.
This was the biggest concession she made after Zhou Zhengye's repeated efforts. She doesn't know how the children are doing now. As long as the children are doing well, she doesn't care.
After staying at the He family's house for a few days, He Chenglin brought good news to Du Yuhan. He Chenglin's old subordinates in Northeast China had agreed to help take in Du Lianqiao's family, and they could go there at any time.
Du Yuhan was very happy to hear this news. As long as her adoptive parents and their family stayed away from the old Du family house, they would definitely live a good life.
Even if disaster strikes in the future, with her help, her adoptive parents and their family will be able to get through the famine safely.
Upon receiving this news, Du Yuhan also planned to set off. She wanted to quietly return to Xikou Village first to discuss the matter with her adoptive parents and persuade them to move.
She also needed to find some herbs, especially some rare and valuable ones. Planting them in her space early would prevent her from being caught unprepared when she needed them.
Currently, China's medical standards are relatively underdeveloped, and medicines are in short supply, but there are many natural herbs available.
Herbs can still cure diseases, but very few people understand this aspect of medicine and know how to use them.
Du Yuhan thought it would be good for her to make a living using her medical skills in the future.
Yu Huiru was extremely reluctant to let her daughter, whom she had just found, leave her again. She had tears in her eyes the whole time she knew her daughter was leaving.
Du Yuhan tried to persuade them again and again, and promised to come back to visit her parents whenever she had the chance.
He Chenglin was also extremely reluctant to part with her. The little baby he once held in his arms had now grown into a graceful young woman. He had missed too much of his daughter's growth, and he truly couldn't bear to let her leave him again.
But he also knew that his daughter had important things to do, and he couldn't be like his wife to avoid making his daughter worry.
He Zhenhua was also reluctant to part with his sister, but after divorcing Zhang Shuanglian, he had to settle the matter and return to the army, so he wouldn't be able to stay at home for more than a few days.
He Zhenhua personally bought Du Yuhan a train ticket to J province.
