Chapter 79 Chapter 79 "In 1940, Taohua Village,...

"Why, the housing application was approved?" Jiang Qiuyue's eyes widened instantly.

"Yes, I'm lucky. Director Wang said that a group of people will be transferred before the New Year due to transfers. I can be assigned a room in the northwest tube building, but I have to wait until after New Year's Day."

After getting the house, Xiao Li can get married. The two of them can have their own little nest, which is better than anything else. Xiao Li still remembers Jiang Qiuyue's words that she would help cook for him when he gets married, so he can't wait to say it.

Jiang Qiuyue was happy for Xiao Li and Bai Xiuxiu, "Have you told Xiuxiu?"

"Yes, I just went to ask her, and she agreed to it." Xiao Li saw Lin Zhengrong coming out and added, "But don't tell anyone else about this. Xiuxiu will be embarrassed."

Jiang Qiuyue understood. After watching Xiao Li leave, she went back with a smile to have dinner with Lin Zhengrong and the others.

Her cooking skills were of course impeccable, and everyone enjoyed the meal. Lin Zhengrong also had a few more drinks and ended up being drunk.

After everyone left, Jiang Qiuyue helped Lin Zhengrong onto the bed and helped him take off his clothes and shoes, but was hugged by Lin Zhengrong.

"I like you." Lin Zhengrong held Jiang Qiuyue's earlobe and spoke drunkenly in a daze. Jiang Qiuyue's ears were itchy because of him. She wanted to push him away, but she was not as strong as him.

That night, Jiang Qiuyue didn't even wash her face, and Lin Zhengrong held her like this, saying that he liked her, pestering Jiang Qiuyue for a kiss, and forcing Jiang Qiuyue to say that she liked him too. The noise lasted until the late night, and Lin Zhengrong fell asleep.

The next day, Lin Zhengrong woke up and was looking at the person in his arms, smiling sweetly. Suddenly, Jiang Qiuyue bit his arm.

"Don't drink so much next time. You don't know how clingy you are." Jiang Qiuyue sat up angrily. She didn't sleep well the whole night and now had a terrible headache.

Lin Zhengrong pretended to be dead and denied it, "I don't remember anything. I only remember that you took off my shoes. Tell me, how did I pester you?"

"You just hugged me and said..." Seeing Lin Zhengrong smiling, Jiang Qiuyue knew that she was fooled by Lin Zhengrong. She pinched Lin Zhengrong's face with both hands, "You really have learned bad things. Hurry up and get up. Sister Shuangshuang is discharged from the hospital today, and Brother Chen's family is here. We should go see them, right?"

Lin Zhengrong said he was not in a hurry. "Once they arrive, they have to clean up. If we go too early, they will have to cook for us. We can just go over to get to know the place after dinner in the evening."

He held Jiang Qiuyue in his arms and refused to get up, but Lin Beibei and Lin Nannan had already gotten up. Lin Beibei came and knocked on the door, saying that he was hungry.

Lin Zhengrong had no choice but to get up and take the two children to the cafeteria. They got up late today and it was too late to cook.

After Jiang Qiuyue had packed up, Lin Rong had just come to pick up Wu Shuangshuang from the hospital. She went over to help with some work. After dinner in the evening, she took her two children to visit the Chen family.

Chen Guowei's wife is called Wang Fang, a very enthusiastic person. When she saw Jiang Qiuyue's family of four, she pulled them to sit down and immediately went to get food. "I heard Guowei say that Qiuyue worked hard to cook for you yesterday. One day, when you all have a rest, I will also cook for you. Just don't blame me for my poor cooking skills."

She filled Lin Beibei and Lin Nannan's pockets, and finally touched Lin Nannan's little face and said, "This girl is so pretty, fair and tender. I have always wanted a daughter, but I just don't have one. Your name is Nannan, right? Auntie has two sons. You just saw them, right? In the future, you will be Auntie's son..."

Before Wang Fang finished speaking, Chen Guowei quickly pulled her aside and said, "Don't scare the little girl."

"I just like her." Wang Fang had just finished speaking when Lin Beibei asked her soul-searchingly, "Does Auntie not like me?"

"I like it, I like it too. Your two children are so fair, unlike the two in my family who are dark as charcoal." Wang Fang had heard her husband say a lot of good things about the Lin family, so she liked everyone in the Lin family this time.

When Jiang Qiuyue left Chen's house, she couldn't help but sigh, "Sister Wang Fang is really enthusiastic."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that when Beibei and Nannan are so young, there are so many people who want to become in-laws with us." Lin Zhengrong took a deep breath, "These people are too anxious."

At this time, Chen Guowei was also saying that Wang Fang was anxious, "Zhengrong is looking for a daughter, and our children are still young. The army does not allow child marriages. You are not allowed to say that."

"I know, you've said it several times. I think Qiuyue is pretty, and Nannan will definitely be pretty in the future, to improve the race of your Chen family?" Wang Fang was tired after a day, so she took off her shoes and lay on the bed, not wanting to move. "Your family is full of black charcoal, it makes me uncomfortable to look at you. Nannan has big eyes and white skin, I really like her. Why can't I give birth to such a pretty girl?"

Chen Guowei looked at Wang Fang, who had a similar complexion to him, and laughed angrily, "You want to give birth to a white child, I have to think about whose child it is?"

"Chen Guowei, are you looking for death?" As she said that, Wang Fang pinched Chen Guowei hard, but was quickly knocked down by Chen Guowei.

The couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they were getting excited, the bed was shaking with a creaking sound.

On the other side, Jiang Qiuyue and Lin Zhengrong were also shaking the bed.

New people came to the compound, and some people left. After Wu Shuangshuang finished her confinement, the Zeng family also moved out.

Zeng Liang took the initiative to request a transfer. His family couldn't stay here any longer. When people saw them, they kept talking about Zeng Qian's affair with someone else. Zeng Liang had no choice but to ask for a demotion and leave.

On the day the Zeng family left, Jiang Qiuyue happened to pass by with Bai Xiuxiu while buying groceries. The two of them only glanced at each other and were about to leave when they heard someone say that Zeng Qian had committed suicide on the farm. They stopped to listen for a few more words.

"Why did you commit suicide?"

"Why else? Her reputation has been ruined, and her family refuses to acknowledge her. What hope is there for her to live?"

"Yes, life on a farm is not a life for human beings. Death is also a relief."

"Hey, what about Cheng Guangsheng? How is he?"

…

When Cheng Guangsheng was mentioned, several people kept silent, saying they didn't know. It was Zhu Caixia who passed by and said, "Cheng Guangsheng fought with a dog for food and broke his leg. It's not a good thing. Let's all go. There's nothing to see. Everyone should be aware of this and take this as a warning."

With Zhu Caixia's presence, everyone dispersed quickly. Jiang Qiuyue was also about to leave, but was stopped by Qiu Hongyan.

"Did you come here to see a joke?" Qiu Hongyan had lost a lot of weight. She stayed at home except for going out to buy groceries. Now seeing Jiang Qiuyue and the others, she wanted to bite her teeth off.

"So what?" Jiang Qiuyue hated Qiu Hongyan's tone the most. No matter what she did, Qiu Hongyan would only think the worst. "What can you do to me?"

Qiu Hongyan stared at Jiang Qiuyue for a long while before she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't be too proud. People as arrogant as you will get their comeuppance one day!"

Jiang Qiuyue smiled, "If there is retribution, it will be you who will be punished first. I thought you would reflect on yourself, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You and your family will never see your own problems clearly, and you only know how to blame others."

Since Qiu Hongyan said she was having fun, she admitted it. "I just came to see you having fun. I'll be happy to see you in trouble. And you should remember that I will wait and see your retribution. Let's compare and see who has a better last day!"

"You!" Qiu Hongyan pointed at Jiang Qiuyue. She couldn't help it. When she rushed towards Jiang Qiuyue, her lover came.

"Hongyan, it's time for us to go." Zeng Liang glanced at Jiang Qiuyue and pulled Qiu Hongyan away.

Qiu Hongyan was very unwilling, and as she walked, she cursed Jiang Qiuyue for a miserable death.

But she didn't know at this moment that Jiang Qiuyue's real good days were about to begin.

At the same time, Gao Juanjuan met Qiu Jie. She finally found out the whereabouts of Zhang Shunli. The reason why she couldn't find him for so long was that Zhang Shunli not only changed his name, but he was also dead.

Qiu Jie said, "The name this person registered at the beginning was not Zhang Shunli. He must have felt guilty, so he changed his name and worked as a garbage collector in the city. However, he died this summer. He collapsed on the street due to heatstroke and malnutrition, so he could not be saved."

Knowing that Gao Juanjuan also knew Jiang Qiuyue and his wife, Qiu Jie said as he walked, "That's really a coincidence. Zhengrong and I were comrades-in-arms. Are they okay now?"

"It's great. Qiuyue cooks delicious food. I met her on the train." Gao Juanjuan followed Qiu Jie to Zhang Shunli's dormitory.

"It's fate, it's all fate." Qiu Jie brought Gao Juanjuan to the dormitory where Zhang Shunli lived before. After showing his police ID to the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper asked them to wait a moment.

"So his name is Zhang Shunli. I was wondering why no one came to pick up his things." The old man took Qiu Jie and the others to the grocery store. After opening the door, a cloud of dust flew in his face, making the old man step back several steps. "Skinny monkey... No, after Zhang Shunli died, I put his things here. Luckily you guys came, otherwise I would have lost them in a while."

The things were wrapped in a bed sheet, and the old man couldn't lift them. He dragged them out with both hands, "I didn't see what was there either. I packed them all and threw them here. Police comrades, take them if you want. This just saves me a lot of trouble."

Normally, Zhang Shunli was seen thriftily buying and selling things, and he didn't even have a decent cotton coat in winter. After Zhang Shunli died, his co-workers were too lazy to look through his things for fear of bringing bad luck to them. After all, he died in vain, and they were all afraid of him.

Qiu Jie and the eldest master nodded and took their colleagues to check one by one.

Gao Juanjuan frowned. They had finally found Zhang Shunli, so how could he be dead?

If Zhang Shunli left nothing behind, wouldn't that mean the clues were gone?

Gao Juanjuan was very nervous and scared, her eyes fixed on the pile of things on the ground.

Qiu Jie was afraid of missing any clues, so he even took apart the bedding to see if there was any interlayer, but there was nothing in the bedding except the smell of sweat.

Until his colleague found a notebook in a rusty cookie box. When he opened it, it turned out to be Zhang Shunli's notebook!

"December 1937, Zhou County, six-year-old girl."

"January 1938, Ninghua City, baby boy."

"February 1938, Ninghua City, 15-year-old girl."

…

"1940, Taohua Village, a boy about one year old."

Hearing this, Gao Juanjuan immediately called a halt, her lips trembling, "Taohua Village, is it Taohua Village?"

She had asked someone to check Lin Zhengrong's adoptive parents before, and remembered the three words "Taohua Village".

Qiu Jie said yes, and he also thought that Taohua Village was Lin Zhengrong's hometown, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

"I don't know either, but the first time I saw Lin Zhengrong, I thought he looked like my dad. If the age difference wasn't there, I would have gone to find Qiuyue a long time ago." Gao Juanjuan was almost out of breath. She was too nervous. If it was true, then what about the age difference?

Qiu Jie thought for a moment and analyzed, "Generally, kidnappers will lie about the child's age, because the younger the child, the less likely they are to remember, and the more people will buy them. If the difference is only a few months, it could really be the same person."

At this point, Qiu Jie became excited. "If Zhengrong is your brother, that would be great. He asked me to investigate before, but I didn't find any clues. If he knew, he would be very happy!"

Gao Juanjuan has experienced too many false joys over the years. She takes a deep breath and reminds herself not to get too excited. "Let's go to Taohua Village to confirm it first. If it's true, then I will be happy."

Although she had a vague intuition, Gao Juanjuan really didn't dare to think too much about it. The closer she got to the facts, the more scared she became.

Qiu Jie understood Gao Juanjuan and her husband's feelings and asked Gao Juanjuan to calm down first. The notebook showed that Zhang Shunli had abducted many people before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there might be other people looking for relatives.

After taking Gao Juanjuan and the others back to the police station, Qiu Jie completed the registration and set off for Taohua Village with Gao Juanjuan early the next morning.
