"We are from Jiang Province. We came here to bring Comrade Qi Bowen's father. We asked around all the way and finally found out where he lives. It was really difficult."
The leader now realized that Comrade Qi Bowen was a formidable figure.
If you ask, everyone knows it; he's now afraid that people of such high status wouldn't want to acknowledge him as their father.
He had heard that this person had switched the children and was doing just fine. Who would want to be entangled with a father who had no reputation and was disabled?
He thought for a moment and then leaked the information first. If Comrade Qi Bowen didn't admit it, they would definitely make a scene.
"What? His biological father?" The person who was being stopped stared at them with wide eyes.
Finally, their gaze fell on the person being supported. Everyone else looked young, but this person was a bit older.
But this person... that person thought about Qi Bowen's family in this state, and now his own father had actually come looking for them, this was going to be quite a show.
"Qi Bowen's house is just ahead; the one with the most people at the door is theirs." The man was very enthusiastic and led them there.
"Everyone make way, Qi Bowen's biological father is here!" The man was extremely excited, leaving Wei Changgen and his group stunned.
She rushed over, pushed through the crowd, and shouted, drawing everyone's attention with her words.
The group of people who brought Wei Changgen were stunned by the scene. What was going on? Something seemed very wrong.
"Qi Bowen's father is here? His biological father?"
"What are they here for? To pick up Qi Bowen?"
"Didn't I say? That incident was done by Qi Bowen's own father. How dare he come?"
"She still loves her son. Knowing his situation here, she rushed over to pick him up."
"Sigh, look at these people, the younger ones in front don't look like Qi Bowen's father at all!"
"What's up with that guy behind us? His right pant leg is hanging down, something seems off."
The neighbors in the family compound were talking amongst themselves, wondering which of Wei Changgen's group of people was Qi Bowen's father.
As I watched, I found this group of people to be very strange.
"We are from Jiang Province Farm. We are here to send off Comrade Qi Bowen's biological father and reunite with him."
Not only did the people in the family compound sense something was wrong, but the men escorting Wei Changgen also felt something was amiss with what they were witnessing.
It wasn't what they imagined.
"From the farm?" Everyone was even more surprised.
This farm is usually for bad elements who have been sent down to the countryside. No one who can get into that place is a good person. How come they were released?
"Then you're too late. Qi Bowen is going to the countryside too." The group thought they were in for a good show.
"What?" The leader was taken aback. Going to the countryside? Which countryside? Could it be to become an educated youth sent to the countryside?
What about Wei Changgen? They don't have the money to keep going with his antics.
"It's a long story, but anyway, Qi Bowen's status in Beijing is no longer valid; he's going back to his home in the countryside."
The group felt that everyone in Beijing knew about Marshal Li's family affairs, and they probably hadn't heard the news that he was about to be sent away.
"..."
The men escorting Wei Changgen were dumbfounded. This wasn't some powerful figure at all; he seemed like someone they'd given up on.
When they went to Yangliu Brigade, they heard that Wei Changgen had exchanged his own son for a good family in Beijing.
They assumed that even if they found out the truth later, they would have developed feelings for this person after raising him for so many years.
Even if the biological son goes back, the adopted son will definitely be reluctant to part with him.
They had considered that if Wei Changgen came to seek refuge with someone, that family in Beijing would definitely not agree. They never expected that the family would even abandon their son now.
That won't do. Now that we've found our son, Wei Changgen and the others won't ask any more questions. Even if we're going back to the countryside, we have to bring him back with us.
"Comrade Qi Bowen hasn't left yet, has he?" Thinking of this, the leader hurriedly asked.
"No, they're still inside," a few people on the outermost perimeter replied casually, glancing into the house repeatedly.
"Make way, Qi Bowen, your dad's here." The group of people from the farm exchanged a knowing glance, then shouted and pushed their way in without a second thought.
The people in front were drawn by their shout, and they took the opportunity to help Wei Changgen squeeze into the courtyard.
"Who is Qi Bowen?" The leader only realized that there were quite a few people gathered in the courtyard when he got inside, and there were also two people in uniforms at the entrance.
They recognized the scene; it was clear someone had done something wrong. They remembered what the people outside had said about sending Qi Bowen back to the countryside. It seemed this was no ordinary matter.
They peered into the house and could vaguely see someone sitting in a chair.
"What do you want with him?" The uniformed man at the door looked over.
"We are farm workers. We came here mainly to deliver Qi Bowen's father. He injured his leg and can't do any work."
“It’s only right for a son to support his father. We’ve delivered the person, and we’re done with the rest.” The leader spoke quickly, and then threw Wei Changgen over.
He grabbed the two people behind him and ran away, not forgetting to throw Wei Changgen's supporting documents over before leaving.
Those are enough to prove his identity; anyone with a keen eye can easily find out what happened.
They were afraid that Qi Bowen wouldn't accept him either, so they ran away quickly.
The street workers standing at the entrance were stunned. Seeing the person who had fallen to the ground, they didn't know whether to help the person up or chase after them first.
"Let's take him in and ask him." In the end, they had no choice but to carry the person inside, and that's when they discovered that the person was missing half of his leg.
Now I understand why those people ran so fast; people like that are just freeloaders on the farm.
"Your father is here." Qi Bowen also heard the commotion outside. At first, he thought it was Qi Feng, so he didn't dare to go out, fearing that Qi Feng had come to cause him trouble.
He knew that he had less affection for his grandfather than for his maternal grandfather. He had disliked him since childhood, and if his grandfather came now, it would definitely not be because he was reluctant to part with him.
He dared not go out, but the staff of the neighborhood office carried in a person he did not recognize at all.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Qi Bowen was dumbfounded.
"This was sent from the Jiang Province farm. This is proof. You'll have to resolve this yourself, no matter the reason. You only have one day. You must leave tomorrow."
The group didn't want to get involved. Since this person came from the farm and was covered in injuries, he was definitely up to no good, and they didn't want to be scammed.
Before Qi Bowen could say anything, Wei Changgen, who had been thoroughly tormented, opened his eyes and stared intently at the person in front of him.
“My child, I…I am your father!” Wei Changgen’s eyes reddened; he had finally seen his second son.
She looked just like him, like him in every way. He couldn't help but shed tears as he looked at her.
Qi Bowen stared blankly at the person who had raised his head; he would never forget the person's appearance.
The scene of him threatening him many years ago is still vivid in my mind.
