Zhang Qiushui's eyes were filled with disbelief. "How do you know all this?"
Wang Jingyi knew this and was not surprised. How could someone who looked so much like Huo Xueshen, yet vehemently denied having any connection with him, know so much about Huo Xueshen's life before and after his demotion? And why would they send supplies to someone labeled a "black five categories"?
Wang Jingyi's lips curled into a contemptuous smile, "You don't naively think that no one here, except my mother, knows about the dirty things you and Huo Yunqi did, do you?"
Zhang Qiushui's eyes showed doubt and unease, and she blurted out, "Isn't it only Aunt Yang who knows?"
She remained convinced that only people in their area knew about Huo Yunqi's report against Huo Xueshen back then.
At this moment, Wang Jingyi said that everyone here knew. She was full of doubt. How could the news have come from a place more than ten kilometers away?
Over the years, the family has been planning to obtain the title deed to the mother-in-law's house, sell it, and buy a new property here, completely escaping the troubles and conflicts there.
Huo Yunqi's work is here. Years ago, when he first reported Huo Xueshen, many people avoided his family like the plague.
Now things have changed, and people have started gossiping about their family. She has two sons, the elder of whom is married, and the younger of whom is still unmarried. When people hear that her father once reported his own brother, they are unwilling to marry into their family.
The two sons are facing increasingly difficult situations in their work and life. If their employers weren't worried about them taking drastic actions, they probably would have been laid off long ago.
Zhang Qiushui was convinced that her mother-in-law's house deed had been taken by Grandma Yang, so for many years, no matter how bad Grandma Yang's attitude towards her was, she silently endured it.
The two sons even suggested that they directly ask Grandma Yang for the money, and threaten to report her if she refused.
But Zhang Qiushui and Huo Yunqi dared not report it again. The couple were old, and their son and grandson were still young. If they were to report it again, their whole family would really have no way to survive.
The initial report against Huo Xueshen was a last resort. Huo Xueshen had been abroad for many years, and although their family did not have to pay for his tuition, she and Huo Yunqi had always taken care of his mother.
After returning to China, Huo Xueshen entered a national research base. He heard that he could earn a large sum of money by completing a project, and that he earned more than 300 yuan a month, but only gave 100 yuan to his family. When pressed about where the rest of the money went, Huo Xueshen refused to talk about it, which made them suspect that he still had connections with foreign countries.
After the movement began, they saw many people reporting others everywhere, criticizing this person today and that person tomorrow. Some even reported their own parents, who were brutally attacked simply because they were refused money.
Seeing this, they followed suit.
After the report was successful, they also received a reward of ten yuan from the Revolutionary Committee, which said it was because of the information they provided that revealed Huo Xueshen was remitting money to a foreign bank account every month.
Seeing Zhang Qiushui standing there blankly, her eyes vacant, her thoughts seemingly wandering elsewhere, Su Yue and the other two left.
When they got home, Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang greeted them anxiously, their voices full of worry: "Is the child alright?"
They were worried about the child's safety and afraid that Fu Shen would be recognized, so they couldn't sit still in the house and waited in the yard.
Wang Jingyi said gently, "Mom and Dad, let's go inside first, it's too sunny here."
Grandma Yang: "Okay, let's go inside."
Fu Shen thoughtfully poured Su Yue a glass of water, while Wang Jingyi reported to Grandpa Yang and Grandma Yang: "The doctor said it might be that the fetus is moving a little too vigorously, but it's not a big problem."
Grandma Yang breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across her face: "It's good that you're alright."
Fu Shen lowered his head and said to Su Yue, "You chat with Grandma and the others, I'll go hang up the clothes."
