They thought that if they had been transferred to Beijing back then, wouldn't they be living a good life now?
That's Beijing! It's a big city I've only ever heard of in the newspapers. The second son must have grown up in a very privileged environment.
Unlike them, who were born of the same parents, they toil in the fields for a living and now can't even get enough to eat.
My parents are so biased.
"You...you're blaming me? Even if I wanted to be your age back then, I wouldn't have allowed it."
"At that time, my mother was pregnant with her second child. There was an accident during childbirth, and she almost lost her life. It took a lot of effort to exchange the two children."
Huang Cuifen didn't think she had done anything wrong at all; in fact, she felt it was too close that she had been so careful and almost got discovered.
They also felt that she had given her own child to someone else, that they were separated from their own flesh and blood, and that she had to raise someone else's child; she was the pitiful one.
Now that her son is living a good life, he doesn't want to care about them anymore. How can she not hate him?
"What a coincidence! It must have been a scheme between you and Dad. Never mind that, what do we do now? They don't want to acknowledge us at all."
"He even threatened us not to go to him, saying that in our current state, he could destroy us with a flick of his finger."
Wei Baidao was furious. All those claims about how much he loved him were lies.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have strangled him back then." Huang Cuifen could only keep cursing.
She couldn't say that it wasn't her due date yet, but her husband saw that person come to their brigade, had a plan in mind, and forced her to give birth prematurely by giving her medicine.
The child was born looking like a cat, and she was terrified that it wouldn't survive and everything would be ruined. She didn't know what her husband had done.
In the end, a chubby, fair-skinned child came back instead. Wei Baichuan was very well-behaved when he was little, but every time she saw him, she felt resentful.
On one hand, he felt that he couldn't see his son because of him and only had resentment towards him; on the other hand, he felt that his son was living a good life in his place and deserved it!
But all their calculations came to nothing; she was completely helpless, and even if they wanted to go to Beijing to look for her, they had no clue.
They knew nothing about him except the address, and they also knew the meaning behind his letter: if they went to him, he would definitely retaliate against them.
He didn't treat them like family at all; he's heartless.
Wei Baidao and Wei Baide remained silent, staring at the letter with utter dejection, feeling utterly hopeless.
Even Su Nianyou, who was standing to the side, hadn't recovered yet. She had just planned how she would spend her money and how many nice things she would buy when she had money in the future.
Now everything is calm again, and her mind is blank. Was that just a dream?
I stood there in a daze, not knowing what I was doing.
In the end, Wei Baidao got up and left first. He needed to think things through. Judging from his mother's expression, he knew that the family had revealed their last trump card.
They have absolutely no way out. If only his father were here, at least they would have someone to talk to.
Wei Changgen, who was rarely remembered, was secretly sent back to Jiang Province, even though he had already been demoted.
Speculation is a serious crime, but Wei Changgen was deliberately targeted and was not caught on the spot.
He wasn't directly sentenced to death by firing squad; he was simply demoted and made his life miserable.
Wei Changgen initially thought he was going to die, feeling resentful but hopeless. Later, he discovered that he had been demoted.
He knew he wouldn't die; he knew he had a way out, and he was filled with fighting spirit again.
Even though life here was unbearable, he had hope in his heart and gritted his teeth to persevere every day.
He was unaware that his past had been almost entirely exposed, and that the people in the mountains had long been discovered.
His hidden identity, which he had been trying to conceal, was now exposed to his teammates, and he was still thinking about how to contact the people in Beijing.
Thinking of that letter from home, I wonder if his wife has mailed it yet? I remember him saying before he left, "Don't touch that letter until the very last moment."
He was afraid that his brainless wife was too obedient and wouldn't dare to do anything.
He stayed there obediently, but unexpectedly a group of people came and took him away.
He was worried that something serious had happened, but at the same time, he hoped that the people in Beijing had intervened.
My heart was in my throat the whole way, and it took me a whole day and night to finally arrive at a strange place.
"Are you Wei Changgen?" Wei Changgen was still trying to figure out where he was when he heard a loud voice.
He stared intently and saw a person sitting in the chair in front of him. He couldn't tell who the person was, but his eyes were sharp, and Wei Changgen didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"I am Wei Changgen. I wonder what business the leader has with me?" Wei Changgen saw two people standing next to him staring intently at him, and he could tell at a glance that these people were not ordinary.
He didn't know them, but he was pragmatic; calling someone "leader" was never wrong.
“I’m from Beijing. You should know who I am, right?” Marshal Li didn’t miss a single expression on Wei Changgen’s face.
When he said the word "Beijing," Wei Changgen's surprise and delight, though he tried hard to hide it, was clearly seen by him.
"You...you're from Beijing? What brings you here?" Wei Changgen looked at this man and could tell he was someone of great importance. Could it be that his son sent him to rescue him?
You can't blame him for thinking that way. Wei Changgen never thought that this matter would be exposed one day. Even if it were exposed, wouldn't those people hate him to death?
They would definitely try to kill him; how could they possibly bring him here safely? Besides, that person immediately identified himself as a resident of Beijing.
This was a reminder to him; he had never considered that there was another possibility: that someone else had discovered something and was investigating.
Wei Changgen was always complacent about his past decisions, and he never even thought about what would happen if he were discovered.
He felt that he had raised the child for so many years, how could he be so easily willing to give him up? Even if he found out, the most he would do was to take Wei Baichuan back.
His son is still living a good life, and they will enjoy a life of luxury in the future.
"I came here for you, of course." Marshal Li knew he had misunderstood the situation as soon as he saw the look on his face.
He had assumed that since the man had said he was from Beijing, he would understand what he meant.
He'll definitely feel guilty, and even if he's unwilling to talk, he has plenty of ways to make him confess.
Unexpectedly, he became happy when he heard that he was from Beijing, which suggests that he had already made contact with Beijing.
Could he think he's here to rescue him? Marshal Li thought to himself, and immediately changed his demeanor.
"You're here to rescue me, right? Get me out of here right now, and my family too. Get us new identities, and we'll go to Beijing together."
When Wei Changgen saw that he was certain that the person was indeed sent by his second son, he immediately changed his attitude.
