Chapter 162

Defenders go crazy

"Tell me, what's going on." The first time Chen Lina saw Nie Weimin crying so sadly was when he went to Umayyad and was hungry all day and finally couldn't resist eating instant noodles.

That sadness and grievance are all real.

"Tiantian has never wanted to study. No matter how much I persuade her, it's useless. I had no choice but to give her extra lessons every day after I came back. However, she just couldn't concentrate on her studies."

"Why can't you concentrate on your studies?" Chen Lina asked.

Nie Weimin counted on his fingers, "She still can't even learn the four arithmetic operations. I've explained it to her many times, but she just won't listen. Mom, you know what? All she thinks about is working. She wants to go out to work, wash dishes for a few years, and when she grows up, she'll go to a woolen textile factory and be a textile worker."

Then, Nie Weimin and Chen Tiantian had a quarrel.

Nie Weimin's words were very sharp, using Gao Xiaobing and Liu Xiaohong as two examples. Especially Liu Xiaohong, who had to take care of her younger sister and do endless housework every day when she returned home, but she never fell behind in her studies.

On the other hand, Tiantian doesn't have to do any housework when she gets home. Sister Wang is busy doing odd jobs on the farm all day, and she has to do laundry and cook when she comes back. She is already happy enough, but her academic performance is so poor.

Then, the most important thing is that Nie Weimin brought up the thing that Chen Tiantian was most reluctant to mention.

That is, there were many rumors among the girls in the school that she didn't study hard because she was precocious and wild, and was dating some gangsters outside and might even sleep with them.

In short, she is different from other girls, she is not clean.

As they were arguing, Chen Tiantian pushed the book aside and said, "I already knew those girls said I was dirty and looked down on me. Dadan, you should leave. We are not friends anymore." After a pause, she said, "If I really had an affair with some hooligans outside, I would be really dirty and I will be struck by lightning."

"That's not what I meant. I believe you have never had a relationship with anyone, but if you really behave yourself, why would others say such unpleasant things about you?" Nie Weimin said.

As a result, this sentence made Chen Tiantian cry.

She cried very sadly, but didn't explain a word to Nie Weimin.

Then, the next morning, no one knew when Chen Tiantian slipped out, and there has been no news of her since then.

In order to prevent Nie Weimin from running out to look for Tiantian, Nie Gong beat Nie Weimin severely.

"Nie Weimin, tell me, if Tiantian gets married at a young age, will you still see her again?" Chen Lina asked after washing the bell peppers and eggplants.

People in the north like to fry eggplants, but Chen Lina likes to steam them. Cut them into small pieces, marinate them with salt, steam them with rice, and sprinkle them with oil, salt, garlic and soy sauce. They taste better than fried ones.

Nie Weimin shook his head and said, "If Tiantian doesn't come back, I won't go to school. I must find her."

"She's going to marry someone and have a child," Chen Lina said. "It's that kind of man, a very, very poor man, for example, a herdsman."

Nie Weimin was stunned for a long time and said, "I will definitely bring her back." Because if he hadn't said that hurtful word, Tiantian would never have left.

"Don't worry, she will be back soon." Chen Lina said.

Chen Lina came out and found the worker, and said to him, "Hurry up, go to the mining area with Zili and ask people about the herdsmen who are hanging around in the mining area and whose families are in Bayinguoleng. I think Tiantian must have been taken to Bayinguoleng by someone."

"How do you know that?" asked the worker.

"Because, I heard your Wei Jiang talk about it in my last life. Anyway, you guys should hurry and look for it."

In his previous life, Nie Weijiang was paralyzed. When Chen Lina went to see Nie Weijiang, he told her that he had a sister in the mining area and the three brothers liked her very much.

However, the girl married a poor herdsman from Bayinguoleng and became pregnant when she was fourteen or fifteen years old.

The conditions on the grassland were not good. When the girl gave birth to her first child, the baby was too small and had a difficult delivery. Her husband was unwilling to take care of her. When Nie Weimin and Erdan arrived, they were very angry and almost beat the herder to death.

The herdsman had many brothers in his family, and Nie Weimin's brother braved being beaten and carried the girl out on his back, taking her to the hospital for her to give birth.

Nie Weijiang said this, of course, because he wanted Chen Lina to know that his two brothers were not bad people.

As for Chen Lina, when she first heard the story, she never thought that the little girl would be Tiantian. After all, Chen Tiantian lived such a happy life as a child.

She was more inclined to think that the girl would be Liu Xiaohong.

Who would have known that Chen Tiantian would be kidnapped overnight.

Nie Gong and Chen Zili also did what they said and called Wang Xiaowu to ask him. They heard that a herdsman from Bayinguoleng had actually spoken to Tiantian recently.

Just a few words.

Chen Tiantian asked the herdsman whether he had a large family and whether the place was remote. Then, a few days later, Tiantian disappeared.

Needless to say, it is basically certain that Tiantian was abducted to Bayinguoleng.

Immediately, Chen Gong and Nie Gong picked up their hunting rifles and prepared to look for the child.

"Dad, I want to go with you." Nie Weimin threw the garlic away and followed Nie Gong.

"You are just a kid. If you run there, you will delay our operations. You are not allowed to go." said the worker.

Normally, the workers wouldn't allow the children to do anything, but Chen Lina wouldn't mind.

But today, she said, "Take Wei Min with you. Wei Min said he and Tian Tian had a fight. If a child follows someone, I'm afraid she followed them on her own initiative and got accustomed to them, so she won't want to come back with you."

There were many girls like this, thirteen or fourteen years old, who knew nothing and ran out into society to avoid studying, and were deceived into having children, cooking, and doing hard labor. Because they came from rural areas, Chen Lina had seen many such girls in her life.

Sometimes, even after their parents have gone through great pains to find their children, they are afraid of being beaten and probably don’t want to go home.

If we take Nie Weimin with us, at least he can say sorry, or it might help Tiantian resolve her worries.

Erdan was sitting in the big bedroom like a fool, singing to his sister.

The little satellite really likes listening to the second brother singing. It’s only been a few hours since he came here, but he has fallen in love with the second brother before he has even fallen in love with his father.

The younger sister was so happy that she took out her treasured candy from her pocket and gave one to Erdan.

Erdan is no longer old enough to eat candy, but the candy given by his sister means a lot.

He took the candy and showed it off to Sandan, "My sister gave me this candy. It's so sweet. Do you have any?"

Sandan was helping Chen Lina light a fire, smiling with his dimples but saying nothing.

"Dandan, why don't you go play with your sister? Mom can't handle it all by herself. Go and play with your sister, okay?" This kid has been making milk and changing diapers for his sister since he was young. It can be said that he has grown up in an instant since he had a sister.

"Mom, I'll help you." said Sandan.

"Don't you miss your sister?" Chen Lina teased the child.

Sandan lit the fire, picked up the garlic cloves left by his brother and started peeling them. "Mom, there's still a long way to go." This boy is so sweet-mouthed and kind-hearted.

"Erdan, let me ask you, how are your grades? Have you been promoted to the second grade of junior high school?" Chen Lina's other concern was Erdan's academic performance.

Erdan came out of the bedroom, scratching his head. Seeing that his father and Nie Weimin were not there, he asked, "Mom, where are my dad and brother?"

"I have something to do. I'm going to go out now. I just want to ask you how you did on the exam."

If he doesn't get promoted to the second grade of junior high school, he will be fine, but Chen Lina will be too embarrassed to see anyone when she returns to the mining area.

After all, this is her son and her face.

"Mom, Tiantian has skipped school, and I don't plan to study anymore. Although I'm in the second grade now, I've made up my mind. I want to work in your factory.

When the time comes, you can teach me whatever you want, and then I'll ask my elder brother to help me with the test papers. After I pass the high school entrance exam, I'll join the army. Is that ok?"

"Hey, Erdan, we haven't seen each other for half a year, and you've even learned how to plagiarize. You even asked Nie Weimin to help you with the test papers for the high school entrance exam. Why don't you just give all the rabbit legs to Nie Weimin?" Chen Lina asked back.

At this time, Sandan was not in a hurry to eat the delicious rabbit. He made milk for his sister and went to bed. "Satellite, eat milk."

"Sugar!" If my sister wants to drink milk, she must be bribed with sugar first.

Sandan was not in a hurry. He peeled a candy for her, pointed at his eyes, and signaled his sister to close her eyes and lie in his arms, and she would have the candy.

After all, the habit from when she was a child was still there. The little sister opened her mouth and closed her eyes, waiting for the sugar. As a result, the milk bottle was plugged in, and Sandan began to rock her little sister and sing.

He coaxed her into feeding, and then, quietly, he coaxed her sister to sleep.

It can be said that among the three brothers, the one Chen Lina can most rely on to take care of the children is Nie Weijiang.

Sandan, who had just coaxed his sister to sleep, came out and said, "Mom, when Du Lanlan from Director Du's family took the high school entrance exam, she asked Liu Xiaohong to copy the answers for her. My second brother followed her example and is preparing to imitate Du Lanlan."

Du Qiming is the director of a plastic factory. His relative Jiao Laidi is an accountant at a woolen textile factory. Du Lanlan is his daughter and works in the same class as Liu Xiaohong and Nie Weimin.

"Did your sister Xiaohong help Du Lanlan with cheating?"

"Sister Xiaohong didn't want to do it at first, but my aunt knelt down and begged her." Sandan looked like he knew everything.

Du Lanlan, the daughter of Jiao Lai Di, is really not good at studying. So, in order to let Liu Xiaohong cheat for Du Lanlan during the exam, Jiao Lai Di actually ran directly to the farm to give a gift to Chen Lili?

In order to get Liu Xiaohong to help Du Lanlan copy her homework, Chen Lili actually knelt down in front of her.

"Dandan, let me ask you, how did you know about this?" Chen Lina asked.

Seeing that his mother looked unhappy, Sandan immediately lowered his voice and said, "It was my aunt. She told people all over the farm that if anyone wants to take an exam in the future, they can ask Sister Xiaohong for help and they will surely do well."

Chen Lina slammed the chopsticks on the table with a bang.

Just then, Chen Lili heard that her sister had returned, so she drove her tractor to see her.

As soon as she entered the room, she said, "Lina, I heard that our mining area has approved a woolen textile factory and a garment factory. The autonomous region has approved a lot of money to build them. After they are completed, they will be called the Mining Area Wool Textile Group. You are the general secretary. Is this true?"

Fortunately she came alone, otherwise she would have lost face today.

Chen Lina stood up and said, "Erdan, Dandan, get out and close the door for me."

Erdan was still gnawing on the rabbit leg, looking confused, "Mom, I still want to eat."

"Take it out and eat." Little Dandan was the best at observing people's expressions. He saw that his mother was angry, so he took the rabbit meat out and brought his second brother out.

Chen Lili didn't think anything yet. As soon as she sat down at the table, she said, "I'm telling you, you must get your brother-in-law a factory manager position this time. He may not be able to be the director of a woolen textile factory, but he can be the director of a clothing factory. He's your brother-in-law. You can't let us stay in that shabby farm every day..."

It was just a slap in the face.

Chen Lili had just picked up the chopsticks when she was stunned by her sister. Before she could come to her senses, Chen Lina followed closely and slapped her again.

"Chen Lina, are you crazy?" After being beaten by her sister, Chen Lili burst into tears. "You are just relying on your good marriage and the many sons you have to bully me. You are not my sister at all. From now on, you are my enemy. I tell you, you will never enter my Wang family again, and you can forget about me recognizing you."

"You are so stupid. Liu Xiaohong is such a good student and she loves you so much. If she can get into college in the future, you can go to Beijing or Shanghai. You actually forced such a good child to be a gun for others and copy their homework. Do you understand? It's the high school entrance exam. If the teacher catches her, Xiaohong's future will be ruined."

"She is my daughter, I have raised her for six years, she is not yours, why do you care so much? If you really want to feel sorry for her, why didn't you raise her yourself?"

"Because you said you felt sad and wanted to cry whenever you looked at her, you said you loved her and cared for her, you said you would support her to go to college even if Wang Hongbing divorced you even if you had to sell everything you had. I thought you were telling the truth, but I didn't expect you were just talking nonsense at the time." Chen Lina spoke one sentence faster than the other.

Chen Lili's mind was probably a mess. "Director Du is the director of the plastics factory, and Jiao Lai Di is the accountant of the wool textile factory. They are both from working-class families. How can I not help them when they ask me for help?"

"Are you a woman of the Republic? Do you hold up half the sky? Du Qiming's power is so insignificant, not even as great as mine, so why don't you flatter me? Why do you flatter others? He is the factory director and has power, but can you get your hands on that power? I ask you, can you get your hands on that power?"

"I don't want to get involved even if I can't. No matter how powerful you are, we can't get involved. You are a secretary, and your brother-in-law is a farm manager. Have you ever thought about promoting him? Have you ever thought about him still farming every day? What's the use of having a relative like you to me?"

"Okay, you said I'm useless, right? Then I tell you, Chen Lili, pack your bags and go back to Qisi Township tomorrow. As long as you go back to Qisi Township, you will feel relieved."

"This mining area is not yours. I don't think you can drive me away."

"I can. I will tell District Chief Hu tomorrow that there is a problem with Wang Hongbing's file. He is an illegal resident and has not been rehabilitated yet. It is not suitable for him to stay in the mining area and he must be repatriated. I created his file and carved the seal with radishes. Qisi Township has no idea about his file." Chen Lina said.

Chen Lili felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. She walked out trembling all over.

"Chen Lina, you are so cruel. You are so successful in the mining area, but you still want to kill everyone. You are a cruel person. We are leaving, we are leaving now, but our whole family will never recognize you as our sister again."

Erdan was sitting in the sun, gnawing on a rabbit leg.

He is the only one in the family who can fight. He enjoys eating. "Auntie, please walk slowly."

Chen Lili was so angry that she staggered and tried several times to lift up the tractor. Then she walked away with a pale face.

"Mom, is Auntie okay?" Sandan came in and asked quietly.

Chen Lina shook her head. "No, she has two daughters. When you have children, you have to bow your head. In a few days, she will realize that she was wrong."

Chen Lili can go back to her hometown by herself, but the eldest and second daughters are reluctant to take her back to Qisixiang to suffer. After all, if they go back now, they will have nothing and will be no different from beggars.

Chen Lina has always been quite tolerant of her sister.

But this time, she felt that she had to teach her a lesson.

Here, Nie Gong was driving a jeep, taking Chen Zili, Nie Weimin, and a gangster named Wang Xiaowu, and they were already on their way to Bayinguoleng.

"There is a large poplar forest in front of that family's house. They are the kind of old herdsmen. This herdsman's name is Youbu, the same one as Gua Tiantian. His father's name is Shayi. Shayi's family has many sons and a big family fortune, like a rich man. Yes, I only found out about it after asking my family Xiao Wu. We probably have to go in quietly and snatch people out first if we can."

They are all herdsmen. It is not easy for them to marry a wife. Once they find out that Tiantian’s father is chasing them, they will definitely move Tiantian to another place immediately.

There are so many pastoral areas in Bayinguoleng. If Grandpa Shayi really moves Tiantian to another place, Nie Gong and Chen Zili might never find her again.

Their car entered Bayinguoleng and followed the road pointed out by Wang Xiaowu. After turning several dozen miles, they saw a large poplar forest in front of them.

This is a meadow of several hundred acres, which was probably allocated to Shayi's family after liberation.

"Wang Xiaowu, you are the one who kidnapped Tiantian, right?" Nie Weimin asked from behind, glaring at Wang Xiaowu who was beaten black and blue by Chen Zili.

Wang Xiaowu is a small-time gangster. It is impossible to send him back to his hometown. In the mining area, he is just stealing and robbing people.

"How could that be possible? Tiantian is my sister." Wang Xiaowu said.

Nie Weimin saw Nie Gong and Chen Zili getting out of the car. He had an alloy gun given to him by Leng Qi. The steel balls that popped out of it were painful enough.

Moreover, this thing looks exactly like the real thing.

As soon as he turned on the phone, he said, "Wang Xiaowu, your gangster friends are just stealing and cheating, they won't kill anyone, but I'm a big shot, I will kill people, do you understand?"

Wang Xiaowu raised his hands and said, "Brother, don't be like this. It's scary. Can you put the gun down? Besides, aren't you going to save Tiantian? Then hurry up."

Nie Weimin saw that this guy was a sly thief and kicked him in the ass. "Go stand under the car and get some fresh air. I have to meet my dad in the car."

He is not a fool.

A gangster like Wang Xiaowu, as soon as he gets out of the car, is very likely to just drive away and slip away quietly.

For this kind of person, neither his parents nor the government can control him. If they let him go to school, he is too lazy to go. If they let him work to earn money, he is too lazy to do anything and just likes to steal.

Since he was able to find Tiantian, it proves that Tiantian’s kidnapping must have something to do with him.

Nie Weimin slid to the front seat and hugged the steering wheel, with an extremely vicious thought in his mind: Children like Wang Xiaowu and Wang Dawu, the adults call them children, but they are no longer children.

He thought that Chen Zili and Sister Wang could not pursue Wang Xiaowu because of their relationship.

But for him, he would never let Wang Xiaowu go.
