"Okay, whatever you say." Suti yawned. After a night of commotion and a day of wits and battles, she was exhausted.
"Tired? Let's go to sleep." Li Baichuan tucked the person into the blanket and then went to make some formula.
He never forgets to give his wife a glass of milk powder before bed every day. Only after she finishes drinking it does he hold her and fall asleep contentedly.
The Li family's courtyard was very quiet, but their house was warm enough.
Those who truly felt the biting cold were being forced off the train.
"It's the middle of the night, where can we find someone? How about we just make do at the train station for the night?"
The person in charge was wearing work clothes, and the two people supporting him behind him nodded in agreement.
They felt incredibly unlucky; how did they end up with this job? Three days and two nights of travel had nearly worn them out.
"Would they take him in looking like this? What will we do if they don't?" The two men supporting the man grumbled as they looked at the man who resembled a rag doll.
“He said his biological son is in Beijing. Doesn’t he even wear some kind of ’family reunion pendant’? He has no choice but to acknowledge it.”
The people were talking about Wei Changgen. No one knew who he had offended, but he almost lost half his life at the farm.
Seeing that he couldn't go on living, he was ruthless and cut off half of his own leg.
How can someone who's lost half a leg work? We sent a message to the Ministry of Public Security and the police force: it would be one thing if this person were dead, but it's the worst situation now that he's half-dead.
Even if he were to go to jail, no one would want to support an idle person who couldn't do anything, so in the end they could only send him back to Yangliu Brigade first.
But bad elements are still bad elements, and they still have to live in cowsheds and do the hardest work.
Unexpectedly, the Yangliu Brigade also refused to take him in, and told them about the man's misdeeds.
Everyone in the brigade was menacing; if they dared to leave anyone behind, they could forget about leaving the brigade.
The group was worried. They had been hitting and cursing him all the way, and they thought he wouldn't make it through his injuries, but he just wouldn't breathe his last.
They originally intended to send the person back to the Ministry of Public Security, since he had been transferred there for committing a crime.
Knowing that things would inevitably escalate into a major conflict, just when they were at their wits' end, Wei Changgen said that his biological son was in Beijing.
He also said he would definitely take him in, as long as he was sent to Beijing, he would accept whatever the prison or other reformatory arrangements were made for him.
The group was just wondering how to get rid of him when they heard this and hurriedly brought him over. They carried this man, who had lost half a leg, all the way here, which exhausted them.
"We also need to inform the Ministry of Public Security in Beijing," the leader added.
A bad element is a bad element. Even if he loses half a leg and can't do anything, he can't just lie there and enjoy himself.
However, if they are taken in by the Beijing authorities, they will have no say in what happens next.
"Let's make do here for the night, we can talk about it tomorrow." Everyone was exhausted.
Looking at Wei Changgen, who was barely clinging to life, he was even quieter, as if he were dead.
The group spent the night at the train station and got up as soon as it was just getting light.
"Feed him some dry biscuits, lest he starve to death when we get there." The leader shared a little of the meager rations they had brought.
Now that we've almost sold the goods in Beijing, we can't afford to starve to death, otherwise we won't even have a place to be buried here.
They might also be held responsible for mishandling the situation.
Several people checked Wei Changgen's breathing and, finding he was still breathing, stuffed the pancake into his mouth.
Wei Changgen seemed to know it was food and immediately swallowed it.
"He still knows how to eat, he's doing well." Seeing him like this, the others were relieved.
He quickly finished the dry biscuit in his hand, then went to the public toilet to get some water, drank it down, and set off.
Wei Changgen didn't say a word the whole way; he really had no strength left.
He cut off his own leg, and his already weakened body collapsed even further.
Nobody paid any attention to him. They simply applied some medicine to stop the bleeding and left him to fend for himself.
He had a high fever that almost made him lose his mind, and his legs were in excruciating pain, but he miraculously survived. He knew his chance had come.
His leg was broken, so it was definitely not suitable for him to stay here. Sure enough, those people wanted to send him back.
The Ministry of Public Security was unwilling to accept him because they felt he had no future.
In the end, he was assigned back to Yangliu Brigade. It was impossible for him to lie down and enjoy a life of ease; he had even considered living in a cowshed.
At least he's still alive; if he stayed there any longer, he would be dead.
But to his surprise, everyone in the brigade glared at him fiercely, and he knew he couldn't stay.
He finally escaped and came back, but he didn't want to go back. He heard people in the brigade say he was immoral and that he had switched his son.
He then remembered that he had a biological son in Beijing.
He's living a good life now and doesn't want to care about his own father anymore, how can that be allowed?
And then there's the second son. No matter what, he was raised by him, so even if he hates him, he can't just abandon him.
Wei Changgen told those people that his son was in Beijing and asked them to take him there.
Several people wanted to get rid of him, and in the end they did send him here.
He felt like a fish out of water, clinging on with the last bit of unwillingness.
"Brother, I found out, but I don't know why those people were looking at me so strangely."
After the group left the train station, the leader sent someone to inquire about the man named Qi Bowen that Wei Changgen had mentioned.
His adoptive father was named Qi Feng, and his maternal grandfather's surname was Li. He thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect to ask just anyone.
While he was still marveling at his good luck, he noticed that the man was looking at him strangely, and he didn't know what the problem was.
"Never mind that, let's get him there first." The group didn't care about anything else and carried Wei Changgen toward the residential compound that the passerby pointed out.
We've already spent a fortune on the trip, and the group even chipped in a little extra. Now, we're absolutely not going to buy tram tickets.
It took more than an hour to walk from the train station to get there.
"Comrade, hello. Do you know Comrade Qi Bowen? I heard he lives around here. Do you know where he lives?"
The leader looked at the unfamiliar place in front of him and stopped a passerby to ask him questions politely.
"Qi Bowen? What do you want with him?" The family compound here is full of people from the political and legal departments. Since ancient times, the military and the government have been one family, so no one is unaware of the Li family.
After the chaos at Qi Bowen's family, only the mother and son remain. Yesterday, they were escorted back from the military compound.
When they heard that the old marshal was going to send people back to their hometowns, including Li Ci, a large number of people gathered at his house early in the morning.
This group of people looked travel-worn, and their search for Qi Bowen at this time was clearly suspicious.
