After what seemed like a long struggle, or perhaps an eternity, Wang Qingliu suddenly looked up and asked seriously, "Do you really have a way to cure my grandparents? You're not lying to me?"
"Do you have any other options now? You can only trust me, right?" Zhang Meng looked at him confidently and asked.
Wang Qingliu looked unwilling, because he knew that what the woman said was right. He really had no other choice. The only thing he could do was to believe the woman in front of him who could accurately tell him about his family affairs.
"Okay, I believe you. What do you want me to do?" He didn't believe that this woman would not be kind enough to help him like this. She must have other requirements.
"What I like most is dealing with smart people. Since you asked, I'll tell you straight away. Release me and my family, and tell me who reported me. Then I'll help you heal your grandparents, and of course, your father."
Wang Qingliu frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said cheerfully, "Okay, I promise you, I can let you go first, but who reported your family? I will tell you after you save my grandparents."
"Of course, that's settled then." Zhang Meng smiled slightly.
"Okay, let them go. This is a misunderstanding. Someone made a wrong report. Let's call it a day." Wang Qingliu walked up to his men and shouted.
"Boss, is this really a wrong report?"
"What? You don't believe me? Are you the boss here, or am I?"
"You are, you are."
"Let's go." Wang Qingliu glanced at Zhang Meng, then immediately turned around and shouted loudly to his men.
A group of Red Guards left Zhang's house empty-handed.
"It's okay, grandma, they won't come again." Looking at her grandma whose face turned pale with fear, Zhang Meng walked over to comfort her with a guilty look on her face.
Grandma Zhang hugged her grandson tightly in her arms, "Meng'er, what on earth is going on? Our family is all honest people. Who is so cruel as to report us?"
Zhang Meng's eyes turned cold. "Grandma, don't be angry. I will get to the bottom of this matter. No matter who reported it, I will find out. When the time comes, I will fight back."
As soon as this group of Red Guards arrived, the Zhang family, which already had very little furniture, had even the few stools they had smashed. For a moment, the Zhang family's yard looked a bit messy.
When Sanpo rushed over, the Red Guards had just left.
"God damn it, those people are doomed. How could your family of three, old and young, do something like cutting off the tail of socialism? Sister-in-law, I was just working in the fields. I didn't know those Red Guards came to your house. Are you and Xiaomeng okay?"
Grandma Zhang clapped her hands, her face full of gratitude. When the accident happened in her family just now, many neighbors and people in the village were watching at the door, but no one came to help. The greeting from Grandma San immediately made Grandma Zhang feel a lot warmer in her heart.
"Third Auntie, it's okay. They have already left. They said that the person made a wrong report." Zhang Meng remembered in her heart the kindness that Third Auntie had shown her family.
What Grandma San didn't know was that because of her kindness, her family was protected by Zhang Meng in the difficult days that followed. Of course, this was all in the future.
"I'm glad you're alright. Do you know who reported you? Tell Auntie San, and she'll help you curse those evil-hearted people to death. How can they be so mean? They can't even have a good family, but they're jealous of yours. They're truly shameless."
"I don't know yet, but I will know one day. Third Aunt, thank you for coming to my house today to comfort us. I, Zhang Meng, will remember your kindness in my heart." It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely assistance.
Grandma San waved her hand nonchalantly, "Why are you saying this? You've done us a greater favor. If you hadn't saved that kid Sangou, our family wouldn't be intact now."
Zhang Meng smiled and said nothing more. Some things just need to be kept in mind.
Seeing that the Zhang family really didn't need her help, Grandma San left with peace of mind.
Not long after Sanpo left, Wang Qingliu, who had left with the Red Guards, suddenly returned to the Zhang family.
Because she had been traumatized by the Red Guards before, when Grandma Zhang saw this guy, her face turned pale again. She quickly backed away with her grandson in her arms, "You, what do you want to do?"
Wang Qingliu looked at the expressions of the Zhang family's grandparents and grandchildren when they looked at him, as if they had seen a ghost. He also looked in the mirror every day, and his face seemed to look okay, so why did they look so scared when they saw him?
"Grandma, I'm not here to smash things. I'm here to look for your granddaughter. Is she home?" After asking, Wang Qingliu looked at the empty Zhang family yard, and embarrassment flashed in his eyes, as if the current situation of the yard was caused by their group of people.
"Here we are, let's go." At this moment, Zhang Meng walked out of the room.
When Wang Qingliu saw her come out, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was really uncomfortable to be alone with an old man just now.
"Xiao Meng, where are you going?" Grandma Zhang saw Zhang Meng following the leader of the Red Guards out and nervously pulled her arm.
"Grandma, I'm going to do something with him. I'll be back soon. Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhang Meng patted the back of Grandma Zhang's trembling hand and comforted her.
Wang Qingliu, feeling a little embarrassed, also explained to Grandma Zhang, "Yes, Grandma, I didn't come here to cause trouble this time. I just want to ask your granddaughter for help with something, really."
"Really? Xiao Meng?" Grandma Zhang didn't look at him, but looked at Zhang Meng for confirmation.
Zhang Meng knew that her grandmother was frightened by the Red Guards today, so she could only tell the truth.
Grandma Zhang glanced at Wang Qingliu, who was looking flattering, and tightened her grip on Zhang Meng's hand, saying, "Then be careful when you go do those things. Take good care of yourself. Do you hear me?"
"I understand, grandma. We'll leave first. You and your brother can have lunch." After explaining this, Zhang Meng led Wang Qingliu away from the Zhang family.
The two of them walked one after the other towards the road out of the village which was rarely used by villagers.
"Um, where are your parents? Why don't I see them?" Walking on the sparsely populated path, Wang Qingliu felt a little embarrassed and tried to find a topic to talk about.
"My parents passed away a long time ago. Now there are only my grandmother, my brother and I at home, three of us."
Wang Qingliu's feet suddenly stopped, then quickly caught up, whispering, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you and your grandson were the only three left in your family."
Zhang Meng shrugged and said, "What do you have to be sorry about? It wasn't you who killed my parents." There was silence on the road again.
It took the two of them almost an hour to walk to the county town.
