Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Ginseng again? !

"When my mother was still alive, she would sometimes lament that she shouldn't have sold your brother. I heard them talk about it. They said that there was nothing to eat at home and they couldn't afford to support him, so they sold your brother." Feng Xifu knelt on the ground and cried.

Chen Zhong frowned, "When I left the child here, I gave your family rice and money, so how come you can't raise him?"

It's not like we're asking people to help raise them for nothing. This situation was very common at that time, but they would always leave some for food.

Seeing Feng Xifu remained silent, Chen Zhong knew he was lying and snorted, "I see you just won't tell the truth, so go to the police station and tell them."

Neither the father nor the son are good people. They won't cry until they see the coffin.

We must go to the police station. Feng Xifu hurriedly pulled Chen Zhong's thigh, "I did leave money, but my dad lost it in gambling. I really didn't lie to you. Please, brother, this matter has nothing to do with me. You can guess, I was a baby at that time, how could I do such a thing?"

"So, Feng Sanwan lost the money we gave him, and then your family ran out of money, so you sold my brother, right?" Chen Zhong clenched his fists, which was really infuriating. This Feng Sanwan was really a gambler.

Feng Xifu nodded vigorously, "So it really has nothing to do with me. Don't take me to the police station, I beg you. If you want to arrest someone, arrest my dad. I have drawn a clear line between him and me, and he is no longer my dad from now on!"

"You are so cruel and heartless that you betrayed your own father and still want to draw a clear line?" Chen Zhongqi laughed. There are such scumbags in the world. "Then why do you pretend to be my lover's younger brother? Are you thinking of taking advantage of us and eating and drinking with us in the future?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xifu lowered his head and dared not speak, feeling guilty.

Chen Zhong said "take him away", and Feng Xifu was still taken to the police station.

The two groups of people finally met at the door of the police station. The father and son of the Feng family looked at each other. Feng Sanwan just cried "Xifu", and Feng Xifu immediately distanced himself from the matter, "Dad, I told you not to do this. Why did you insist on deceiving the People's Liberation Army? Now, I am also implicated by you! Police comrades, you must clear my name. I was forced to do this. It was all because of my dad's threat!"

"Feng Xifu, what are you talking about?" Feng Sanwan's eyes widened. "You little bastard, I raised you all my life, and now you are slandering me?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the police pushed them into the police station and took them to different interrogation rooms.

After Gao Juanjuan and Chen Zhong exchanged information, they went to see Feng Sanwan, wishing to tear him into pieces. "Feng Sanwan, your son confessed everything. You sold my brother to a nearby kidnapper named Zhang Shunli. How dare you do that? Even if you can't support him, won't you hand him over to the government?"

Gao Juanjuan gritted her teeth as she spoke each word. In the war years, many things were beyond one's control, but peace soon came. Feng Sanwan actually sold her brother out anyway. She didn't know how her brother had been doing these years, whether it was good or bad.

When Feng Sanwan heard that Gao Juanjuan knew everything, he lowered his head and said nothing. He lost money in gambling and the other party was anxious for money. He could not get any money in return for handing the child over to the government, so he had to sell the child.

At that time, he thought that many soldiers had died, and the Gao family might also have died. He couldn't support them all their lives, so he might as well sell it for some money.

Seeing Feng Sanwan remained silent, Gao Juanjuan became even angrier, "You know, this is a police station. If you still have something to hide, you will be shot."

"No, I don't want to die!" Feng Sanwan said anxiously after hearing the shooting, "Ask me, ask me quickly, I will tell you everything I know!"

Gao Juanjuan stayed in the interrogation room for an hour. When she came out, Chen Zhong was waiting for her at the door.

She leaned on Chen Zhong's shoulder and took a long breath, "Fortunately, I didn't tell my parents this time."

"You should also think positively. Knowing who Zhang Shunli is, we now have a specific direction." Chen Zhongan comforted.

Gao Juanjuan said yes, "I hope we can find Zhang Shunli soon."

The couple stayed in the guesthouse for one night and returned to Haicheng the next day. They left a message with the local police, asking them to notify them immediately if there was any news about Zhang Shunli.

Chen Zhong also asked other comrades to help keep an eye out for someone named Zhang Shunli who met the age requirement.

When they returned home, the two children were on winter vacation. Chen Weiguo received a letter from Lin Beibei, asking him to go and play with Lin Beibei.

"Aren't you embarrassed?" Gao Juanjuan said tiredly, sitting on a wooden chair and nodding her son's head. "You can go if you want. I'll take a day off and then send you there. When you get to someone else's house, remember to be obedient and don't make trouble. And don't just think about eating yourself, check if others have eaten too."

"Also, I'll be back in four or five days. When I come back, you can bring Beibei and Nannan with you and let them come to our house to play."

This time, Chen Weiguo said everything was fine as long as he could go, and cheered happily.

Seeing that her daughter was very tired, Sun Fengying brought her some hot tea and asked her to have a good rest. "These two children are really good friends with the two children from the Lin family."

"Qiuyue knows how to educate children, so Beibei and Nannan are both likable." Gao Juanjuan said, and asked her mother to help find some gifts. The children were going to live in the Lin family, and they couldn't go empty-handed.

Sun Fengying found the ginseng that someone else had sent her, as well as a bag of red dates and longans, and said, "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some more food. That should be enough, right?"

Seeing her mother taking out the ginseng, Gao Juanjuan felt grateful in her heart that her mother really loved the Lin family and was willing to give it away.

After resting at home for a night, Gao Juanjuan set out with her two children the next day.

When they arrived at the Lin family, they saw Jiang Qiuyue weeding in the vegetable garden, while Lin Beibei and Lin Nannan were playing stone throwing with others outside the yard.

"Sister Juanjuan!" Jiang Qiuyue patted the dirt in her hands, "I finally got you here. Come in quickly."

"Beibei Nannan, take Weiguo and Weilan out to play." Jiang Qiuyue had just finished shouting when Lin Beibei came running over to grab them, while Jiang Qiuyue took Gao Juanjuan into the house to drink tea.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Jiang Qiuyue noticed the fatigue in Gao Juanjuan's eyes. After learning what happened, she helped to curse, "This kind of person really deserves to die. Fortunately, there has been progress. After finding Zhang Shunli, we know who he sold your brother to."

Gao Juanjuan nodded and said yes, "It's not a wasted trip. I see that the qingbai in your yard is well planted, and you take good care of it."

"I have nothing to do at home, so I take care of it carefully and check every day for bugs. Plus, my wife waters diligently and we use chicken manure as fertilizer, so the vegetables grow well."

Jiang Qiuyue was very happy that she had a vegetable garden. "I felt sorry the last time I went to your house. Such a big yard was empty. It would be great to grow some fruits and vegetables. Growing vegetables requires constant care, but you can plant some fruit trees."

Gao Juanjuan said she didn't know how to do that. "My mother used to grow vegetables, but later she became ill and had no time to take care of them, so they fell into disuse. It's better to grow some vegetables yourself, so you don't have to buy everything from the supply and marketing cooperative. The vegetables from our supply and marketing cooperative wilt in winter and don't look fresh."

But the vegetables in Jiang Qiuyue’s yard are different, they are lush green and look especially fresh.

The two of them sat together and chatted. Gao Juanjuan had to hurry back and didn't even have time to eat. Jiang Qiuyue sent her to the bus and said, "Why are you in such a hurry this time? At least stay for a day before leaving?"

"I want to, too, but I've taken a few days off, so I can't ask my colleagues to cover for me. Thank you for taking care of Weiguo and Weilan. Next weekend, you can bring them to live at my house. My mother misses you." Gao Juanjuan saw the car coming and waved to Jiang Qiuyue, "Don't see me off. Go home soon."

After watching Gao Juanjuan leave, Jiang Qiuyue went back to open the gift Gao Juanjuan had sent her. When she saw ginseng, she instantly thought of Lin Zhengrong's appearance after drinking the ginseng chicken soup.

No, Lin Zhengrong's physique cannot be repaired by him anymore.

After putting the ginseng away, Jiang Qiuyue grabbed a handful of longans for the children to eat and prepared to cook for herself.

Yesterday, I exchanged two salted hairtails from Grandma Wang. She and Wu Shuangshuang also went to dig shepherd's purse, which was just right for making shepherd's purse dumplings today.

After kneading the dough, Jiang Qiuyue called a few children to help make dumplings, "Yes, that's how you knead it, Nannan, you're awesome."

"Aunt Jiang, look at the little rabbit I made!" Chen Weiguo stretched out his hand and pinched the dumplings into a rabbit.

Lin Beibei followed suit, "My little piggy!"

"It's all good. You guys hurry up and cook it. Remember to hold it tight. I'm going to fry two vegetables." Just eating dumplings is not enough. There must be side dishes. Jiang Qiuyue fried salted hairtail and fried a plate of sauerkraut.

Put minced meat in the sauerkraut, cut it into fine pieces, and also cut the chili pepper into fine pieces. Add a little more pork fat. It will be sour and spicy when fried, and it is especially delicious when eaten with rice.

Finally, we boiled water to cook the dumplings. The four children were waiting by the stove, eager to eat them.

When the dumplings were cooked, Xiao Li hadn't come yet, so Jiang Qiuyue asked Lin Beibei to go out and check, "Why is your Uncle Xiao Li so late lately? Go to the door and see if he's here?"

Lin Beibei said, "I know why he is late. Every time he has to go to the next door before he can get his food!"

"Next door?" Jiang Qiuyue's next door is only the Bai family, why would Xiao Li go next door?

At this moment, Jiang Qiuyue saw Xiao Li coming in with a smile, and suddenly thought of something. However, before she could open her mouth, Xiao Li hurriedly took the lunch box and left.

"Hey, why is he running so fast?" Wu Shuangshuang, who came to deliver shepherd's purse dumplings, pointed at the door and said, "He ran so fast without even saying hello."

"Who said it wasn't? He just came to get his lunch box, didn't say anything, just called sister-in-law, and left with the lunch box."

Jiang Qiuyue took the shepherd's purse dumplings and said, "I made dumplings. You can try some." As she said that, she poured the shepherd's purse dumplings out and used Wu Shuangshuang's sister-in-law to fill the dumplings.

Wu Shuangshuang smiled and said it was really strange, "Maybe there is something waiting. By the way, I heard that tomorrow is the day of high tide. Do you want to go?"

Jiang Qiuyue wanted to go, but she looked at the four children around her and said, "Even if I..."

"Aunt Jiang, what is rushing to the sea? Can we go together?" Chen Weiguo asked curiously before Jiang Qiuyue finished speaking.

Lin Beibei said she was looking for seafood. "Although I have never been there, my mother always brings back a lot of things."

After hearing what Lin Beibei said, Chen Weiguo wanted to go very much. "Can we go together?"

Jiang Qiuyue thought about it and decided that it would be okay to take the children to experience it, as long as they picked up less things. "That's fine, but you have to stay within the sight of adults and can't run too far."

The four children all nodded in agreement, and Wu Shuangshuang said that they would come to find Jiang Qiuyue to go out together tomorrow.

After lunch, Jiang Qiuyue sent the children away and walked on wooden piles to see the Bai family's yard. "Xiu Xiu, are you home?"

Bai Xiuxiu was still wearing her apron. "I'm at home. Sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, come and see me when you're done. I have something to ask you." Jiang Qiuyue blinked at Bai Xiuxiu gossipingly.
