Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Lin Fugui’s hands and feet were cold, knowing that he…
Seeing how angry Jiang Qiuyue was when she mentioned Lin Fugui and his wife, and thinking of what the couple had done before, Sun Fengying found an opportunity, went out and called home, and asked her daughter and son-in-law to report to the city police station.
When Sun Fengying returned home, she happened to pass by the west gate of the family compound and heard people arguing outside. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the other party said they were looking for their son and daughter-in-law, so she went over to listen.
"Comrade, why don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you that we're here to look for our son and daughter-in-law. My son's name is Lin Dazhu. Just check and you'll know!" Wang Chunhua yelled at the soldier on guard, "I came here with so much difficulty, but you're blocking me at the door. Are you still a soldier of the people?"
As she spoke, she became angry. If Lin Fugui hadn't held her back, she would have rushed to the front to argue.
The soldier said he had asked around and there was no battalion commander named Lin Dazhu in the army. "Please stop messing around here. If you keep going like this, I will take you away."
"Catch me if you can. You are just a little soldier on guard duty. I will let my son kill you!" Wang Chunhua pointed at the little soldier and cursed.
The soldier frowned when he heard this. He had seen all kinds of military dependents, but he had never seen such unreasonable ones who bullied others by taking advantage of their power. He didn't want to say more, but he would definitely not let them into the family compound.
"Stop talking!" Lin Fugui pulled Wang Chunhua behind him and gave her a fake smile. "Little comrade, don't bother with her. Look, this is where my son sends letters. Isn't it right here?"
The soldier took a look and saw that it was indeed their place. "But we don't have a battalion commander named Lin Dazhu here. A group of people were transferred from here years ago. Is it possible that your son has been transferred and you didn't know about it?"
Lin Fugui and his wife really don't know about Lin Dazhu's situation in the army. If Lin Dazhu is really transferred, wouldn't their trip be in vain?
"What about Gao Juanjuan? You have this person here, right?" Lin Fugui remembered that the woman at home that day was called Gao Juanjuan. He also heard Gao Juanjuan and Jiang Xiahe say that they knew Jiang Qiuyue, and they lived very close to each other.
As a result, the soldier still shook his head, he had no impression
When Sun Fengying heard her daughter's name behind the railing, she confirmed the other party's identity and found that they were indeed her son's adoptive parents.
She ran back immediately and told her daughter-in-law about it.
"Looking at the date, they are all late." Jiang Qiuyue was pickling dried vegetables and preparing to make pork with preserved vegetables for lunch. "Zhengrong changed his name, so most people don't know his previous name. Only his former comrades know it."
At this point, Jiang Qiuyue suddenly thought that as long as someone in the family compound knew that Lin Zhengrong was previously called Lin Dazhu, this matter would still come to her. It was impossible to hide away, and she still had to face it.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui have finally found this place, and now they don’t even have the money for the ticket home, so how can they leave easily?
They also had the letter that Lin Zhengrong had sent back before. The address and the content of the letter were correct. No matter how much the gatekeeper disliked Wang Chunhua, he still reported the matter.
After Political Commissar Wang found out, he realized that the other party had made the right choice and asked Zhu Caixia to pick up the person.
Wang Chunhua was taken into the family compound, with her mouth wide open, "That's great! You guys are really capable as leaders, otherwise we would have been wrongly accused and died today."
Zhu Caixia walked in front to lead the way. She didn't have Lin Zhengrong's information, but she had Jiang Qiuyue's, and had confirmed that Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui's identities were correct.
However, she was not aware of Lin Zhengrong's family affairs, and did not know that Lin Zhengrong had severed his relationship with Wang Chunhua. As the director of the Women's Federation, she was now just treating them as ordinary military dependents visiting relatives, so she led the way for Wang Chunhua and the others.
"Look, Fugui, the family compound is different. They have installed running water pipes, right? Look, everyone can drink tap water, which is much better than in our village." Wang Chunhua said as she looked around.
It was also the first time for Lin Fugui to visit the family compound. He saw the houses here, all of which were made of bricks and tiles, much better than the mud houses in their village. "Yes, it's still better here."
"The conditions in the family compound are indeed better." Zhu Caixia proudly pointed in a direction to the two people, "That's Deputy Head Lin's home."
"Deputy head?" Lin Fugui thought he had misheard until Zhu Caixia nodded, then he realized he had heard correctly, "My Dazhu was promoted to deputy head. When did it happen?"
Zhu Caixia talked about what happened last year, "Don't you know?"
Lin Fugui really didn't know. If he had known that Lin Dazhu was so capable, he would have never broken off the engagement no matter what.
Wang Chunhua was equally surprised. "This brat, it turns out that he was promoted to deputy head of the delegation before the family visit, but he refused to tell us. What a thief!"
After hearing what Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui said, Zhu Caixia felt a little strange. Being promoted to deputy head of the group was a good thing, so why didn't Lin Zhengrong tell his family?
Confused as they were, they had already arrived at Lin Zhengrong's home. Zhu Caixia went to knock on the door, but it was Wu Shuangshuang who opened it.
Wu Shuangshuang saw Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui, looked them up and down, put one hand on his waist and said, "You are Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui, the two old men, right?"
"Who are you?" Wang Chunhua raised her hand to point at Wu Shuangshuang, but was slapped away by Wu Shuangshuang.
"Who am I? I am your ancestor!"
Seeing Zhu Caixia was about to speak, Wu Shuangshuang explained, "Qiuyue asked me to stay here. She said that she had nothing to do with these two people, and they were not Deputy Head Lin's parents. Thank you for your hard work, Director Zhu. You must have been deceived. They had severed their relationship a long time ago."
Zhu Caixia had never expected this to happen. Her brows furrowed. "What on earth is going on?"
Wu Shuangshuang said that he would wait for Jiang Qiuyue to come back to tell him the details. "Anyway, Qiuyue has said that we cannot let these two old men into the house."
"Where is she? Get her out!" Wang Chunhua's hand was red from being hit. "What an uneducated guy! What do you mean by old and immortal? Didn't I raise Lin Dazhu with all my heart?"
"I came all the way here, but they've found a better position and don't recognize us incompetent parents. I'm going to complain to his leader. I'm going to see if he can still stay in the army."
Lin Fugui also had a gloomy face. They had come all the way here with great difficulty, so how could they go back like this? "Yeah, it's impossible for Lin Dazhu to look down on us country folk just because he has powerful parents!"
"Bah! Who looks down on people from the countryside? Qiuyue and I are both from the countryside. If people don't recognize you, you deserve it!" Wu Shuangshuang stood guard at the door and refused to give in.
At this time, people nearby heard the noise and gathered around to ask what was going on.
As soon as she saw someone coming, Wang Chunhua sat on the ground and cried, "My life is so miserable. I raised my son with great effort, but now that he has married into a wealthy family, he has turned his back on me. A foster mother is worse than a biological mother. I have suffered so much to raise Lin Dazhu. Now that he has found powerful biological parents, he doesn't want to recognize us incompetent people. Oh my god, I'd rather die. I can't live any longer!"
After she cried, everyone knew everything. The neighbors knew that Lin Zhengrong had found his biological parents, but they didn't know about his adoptive parents.
Someone said, "No way, Auntie. Deputy Head Lin and Qiuyue are both very easy to talk to. How could they not recognize you? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Yes, Qiuyue doesn't seem like an ungrateful person."
"Misunderstanding?" Wang Chunhua pointed at Wu Shuangshuang. "If there was really a misunderstanding, why would she interfere with us and say it was Jiang Qiuyue's order!"
After hearing what Wang Chunhua said, everyone looked at Wu Shuangshuang. Zhu Caixia asked, "Shuangshuang, you said it was Qiuyue's idea to stop them, but where is Qiuyue? Where did she go?"
At this moment, Jiang Qiuyue was crying in Political Commissar Wang's office while holding the letter of breaking off relationship.
"Political Commissar Wang, what do you think I should do?" Jiang Qiuyue rubbed her eyes vigorously before entering the office. Her eyes were red now. "My parents-in-law in Taohua Village, I used to be sincere to them. I did all the housework and even worked in the fields to earn work points. I handed over all the money Zhengrong sent home every month, a total of 20 yuan. Even so, Beibei and Nannan couldn't even eat an egg, and Nannan was beaten so hard that she dared not say a word. It was really not easy for me."
She had repeated this for the third time. During the hour in Political Commissar Wang's office, she not only talked about the difficult life between herself and her children, but also talked about the abuse that Lin Zhengrong suffered as a child.
Political Commissar Wang originally thought it was just an ordinary visit to relatives, but he didn't expect there would be such a story. Seeing Jiang Qiuyue crying in worry, he wanted to persuade Jiang Qiuyue. After all, they were Lin Zhengrong's adoptive parents and had the grace of raising him, so he should give them travel expenses and living expenses.
Now after hearing Jiang Qiuyue say so much, he could no longer say these words.
"People who don't know what happened between Zhengrong and I will definitely stand on the moral high ground and say that they are our adoptive parents after all, and Zhengrong was raised by them, so we should not be so heartless. If we don't agree, they will say that we are cold-blooded and ungrateful."
Jiang Qiuyue pounded his chest, "But you know Zhengrong, how could he be such a person?"
"Well, no."
"You are a reasonable person who doesn't use morals to blackmail people." Jiang Qiuyue continued, "I broke off the engagement because when Zhengrong came home, he saw me and the children were so skinny that I almost died in the field. Wang Chunhua even asked me to get up and cook, so Zhengrong made up his mind to break off the engagement."
"But I also thought that after all, we were a family before, and it would be fine if we just cut off the relationship and lived our own lives. Who would have thought that they would be able to find the family compound? Political Commissar Wang, tell me, what should I do now?"
We came to see Political Commissar Wang because matters like this are under his jurisdiction, and the Women's Federation will follow his orders.
Seeing that Political Commissar Wang was still thinking, Jiang Qiuyue added, "You want me to recognize them. I am really sorry to Zhengrong and the children. I can't swallow this. I would rather die with them. But if I don't recognize them, they are still entangled here. I really have no choice."
"It's not that serious." Political Commissar Wang looked at the letter of severance in his hand and sighed, "I know what's going on. I'll take someone with you."
The plan succeeded, Jiang Qiuyue immediately stood up and expressed gratitude, "Thank you, you are really a benefactor to me and Zhengrong."
On their way back, Sun Fengying took the two children home. When Lin Beibei saw Wang Chunhua, he was so scared that he held Sun Fengying's hand tightly, and Lin Nannan's body was stiff and he couldn't move.
Lin Fugui also saw the two children. He knew that this was for everyone to see, so he walked over to them affectionately and said, "Beibei Nannan, I am your grandpa. You are finally back. Did you miss me?"
As soon as he squatted down, Lin Beibei immediately said, "You are not my grandpa. My mother said that we have our own grandpa!"
"Who taught you to be ungrateful? I was the one who brought you up!" Wang Chunhua rushed out of the crowd. "I want to ask you, did your mother teach you that now that you have powerful grandparents, you no longer recognize us poor relatives?"
Lin Beibei didn't understand what Wang Chunhua meant by "powerful". He only knew that Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui were not good to him and he hated them. "You are no longer my grandpa and grandma. I hate you!"
"What are you saying, kid?" Wang Chunhua reached out to pull Lin Beibei, but at this moment Lin Nannan suddenly burst into tears. She subconsciously glared at her, and Lin Nannan cried even louder.
Sun Fengying hugged Lin Nannan lovingly and looked at Wang Chunhua unhappily, "What are you doing? The children are so young, they will naturally be close to whoever treats them well. Beibei said that he hates you, but it's because you abused the children in the past!"
Thinking of what Qiuyue had said to them, Sun Fengying wanted to beat up Wang Chunhua when they saw her now.
"Hey, who are you? This is our Lin family's own business. Isn't it like this in our countryside? If the child is not well behaved, we just beat him a few times. What's good or bad about it? Do you need to meddle in other people's business here?" Wang Chunhua immediately showed signs of quarreling.
Lin Fugui coughed twice, and Wang Chunhua changed her expression again, "My life is so hard. I have to help others raise children and take care of grandchildren for nothing. What kind of life is this for me?"
Seeing Wang Chunhua crying, Lin Beibei pulled her grandmother to leave, "Grandma, let's ignore them. Mom said they are not good people, and asked Nannan and I to avoid them."
After hearing what Lin Beibei said, Wang Chunhua stopped crying immediately, "Are you Lin Dazhu's biological mother?"
"It's me." Sun Fengying said.
"Okay, you are the ones who instigated him to disown us, right?" Wang Chunhua grabbed Sun Fengying's arm. She was very strong and Sun Fengying couldn't get away. "Everyone has heard it, Jiang Qiuyue instigated discord and made the children feel sorry for us. Put yourself in their shoes. If it was the child you raised, and he grew up to recognize rich parents, wouldn't you be heartbroken?"
Everyone was confused. Wu Shuangshuang said Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui were not good people, and Wang Chunhua said Jiang Qiuyue instigated them. They murmured to each other and were reluctant to leave. They all wanted to see the excitement.
Wu Shuangshuang understood that what Jiang Qiuyue said to her was not exaggerated at all. With such parents-in-law, it was no wonder that Jiang Qiuyue was so strong in fighting.
Bai Xiu Xiu had just returned from get off work and learned that it was Jiang Qiuyue's parents-in-law from her hometown who were causing trouble. After listening for a while, she felt even more sorry for Jiang Qiuyue.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, Wang Chunhua continued, "I raised Lin Dazhu, so shouldn't he take care of me in my old age? If we two old people really starve to death on the street, can he and Jiang Qiuyue live with a clear conscience?"
After hearing this, some people wavered in their thoughts. "That's right. After all, they raised Deputy Head Dalin. No matter what, the grace of raising him is greater than heaven. It is only right that they provide for his old age."
"This old woman doesn't seem easy to get along with, but what she said makes sense. Even if we don't live together, she should give me some living expenses every month."
There were also some who said, "Look at how scared the two children are of them, they must have abused the children. I don't want to support such an old man. I believe Qiuyue and Deputy Head Lin will not be ungrateful."
Some people believe in Jiang Qiuyue and Lin Zhengrong, while others think that Jiang Qiuyue and Lin Zhengrong should not be so cruel. They are just two elderly people and they just need to take some money to support them every month.
As long as the incident didn't happen to them, they couldn't empathize with the situation and just watched it as a fun event.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiuyue arrived at this time, and she brought Political Commissar Wang and several others with her.
Wang Chunhua didn’t know Political Commissar Wang. She was a little scared when she saw Jiang Qiuyue, so she went to see her man first.
Lin Fugui was prepared. He pulled Wang Chunhua and knelt down in the direction of Jiang Qiuyue. "Qiuyue, I know you have resentment towards us, but we are Dazhu's parents after all. You can't be so heartless. If you really want to starve us to death, will you feel at ease?"
Wang Chunhua knelt reluctantly, but the old man said that if she wanted others to sympathize with her, she had to do this and asked her not to quarrel with Jiang Qiuyue.
Jiang Qiuyue had already walked up to Lin Fugui. She first looked at the two children, then took out the severance letter, "Everyone can take a look, this is the severance letter between them and me, we have severed our relationship a long time ago. As for why we severed the relationship, it is clearly written there, because they abused me and the two children. When Nan Nan was three years old, she coughed because she was in a hurry to eat, so Wang Chunhua picked her up and beat her."
"Some of those who are familiar with my family know that Nan Nan didn't say a word when he first arrived at the family compound because he was beaten. He was only three years old, but he was not fed enough and was thrown to the ground after being beaten. We all have children, can you tolerate such elders?"
After hearing what Jiang Qiuyue said, everyone looked at Lin Nannan trembling. The little girl had timid eyes and was clinging closely to Sun Fengying. She looked as pitiful as she could be.
For a moment, they all felt sympathy for Lin Nannan.
Seeing that the wind was about to change, Lin Fugui kowtowed to Jiang Qiuyue, "Your mother is a little confused, but she is also trying to educate the children. Qiuyue, you can't do this to us, I kowtow to you, please give us a way to live."
Seeing Lin Fugui kowtow, Jiang Qiuyue had no sympathy at all. Instead, she felt disgusted. "Lin Fugui, we just broke off the relationship. Zhengrong and I didn't chase you with knives, nor did we abuse you. Why did we leave you no chance to live?"
"You have hands and feet, and three biological children. Do you really have to rely on us to survive?"
"Oh, I forgot that your little son and daughter have gone to labor reform." Jiang Qiuyue raised her voice, "You don't know, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law are very bad-hearted. They burned down the house in the middle of the night. If it weren't for Zhengrong's good hearing when he was a soldier, our family of four would have been burned to death. Are we really ungrateful and disowning relatives like this because we are vain and ungrateful?"
"No, they don't deserve it!" Wu Shuangshuang echoed loudly and angrily.
"Yes, they don't deserve to be human beings!" Bai Xiu Xiu also said loudly.
When the others heard what Jiang Qiuyue said, the way they looked at Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui changed.
Wu Shuangshuang came over and said, "These two people are really shameless. They used to mistreat Qiuyue and the two children. Think about it, with 20 yuan a month, Beibei and Nannan can't even eat an egg. Is this reasonable? Now that their own children are going to labor reform, they think of adopting them. Moreover, they severed the relationship before Deputy Head Lin acknowledged the relationship. Their talk about having powerful parents is also nonsense. Deputy Head Lin severed the relationship with them a long time ago."
"You... why are you meddling in other people's business?" Wang Chunhua couldn't help it anymore. She looked up and shouted at Wu Shuangshuang, "This is my family's business. Did you eat too much shit and can't hold your fart anymore?"
"You are the one who has eaten too much shit, that's why your mouth and heart stink!" Wu Shuangshuang is not a good-tempered person. "If you ask me, the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. You two children are sent to labor reform because you don't know how to educate your children!"
She pointed at Wang Chunhua and looked at Lin Fugui, "Don't think we can't see through your self-torture. You are forcing Qiuyue and the others to give you money. After all, it's all for the money. What do you mean by the grace of raising you? Bah, you are just a stink bug in the gutter. You will rot all over the street when you die!"
Lin Fugui was being scolded in the face. If he had been scolded by Jiang Qiuyue, he could have said that he was the elder after all. However, Wu Shuangshuang was an unrelated person and he couldn't think of any words to retort for a while.
Wu Shuangshuang was venting for Jiang Qiuyue, because Jiang Qiuyue couldn't say these words, otherwise everyone would think Jiang Qiuyue was strong and aggressive. Many times, everyone would subconsciously sympathize with the weak, so she had to say these insulting words.
She looked at Zhu Caixia and said, "Director Zhu, you have also figured out the situation. They are no longer Deputy Head Lin's parents. Get them out."
Upon hearing this, Wang Chunhua stood up and rushed towards Wu Shuangshuang, "You spitting feces, don't meddle in our family affairs. Even if we really want some money, it's not what we deserve. After all the hard work, are you going to give us nothing... Hey, you... you hit me?"
Before Wang Chunhua could finish her words, Wu Shuangshuang slapped her in the face with a loud and clear slap.
"Everyone heard it, they are here to ask for money!" Wu Shuangshuang emphasized loudly.
Zhu Caixia understood the situation clearly. She went to see Political Commissar Wang and asked, "Political Commissar, what should we do about this?"
Hearing that the political commissar had also come, Lin Fugui felt hopeful and knelt over to cry, "You are the political commissar, right? You must make the decision for us. No matter what we have done, we are still Lin Dazhu's parents. Without us, Lin Dazhu would have died long ago. Shouldn't he take care of us in our old age?"
Political Commissar Wang observed for a while and understood completely that everything Jiang Qiuyue said was true and that Lin Fugui and his wife were not good people.
He looked at Lin Fugui lying on the ground with disgust in his eyes. "You said you raised Zhengrong, but when he was six years old, you had your own child and you didn't let him have enough food and clothes, and forced him to work. During those years, it was not a problem for Zhengrong to support himself. Later, Qiuyue married into your family and paid living expenses every month for six years, which just repaid your six years of raising him."
At this point, Political Commissar Wang sighed, "You are not in the right, and now you are using filial piety to pressure others. Since you are no longer related, they have no obligation to support you. Xiao Xu, take the person away."
"No, we can't leave. I went through so much trouble to get here, how can I just leave like this?"
Lin Fugui knelt on the ground and refused to leave. "Do you have any compassion? We are both half buried in the earth. How many years can we eat Lin Dazhu's food? You won't even give us this little money?"
Wang Chunhua also cried, "If we hadn't kept Lin Dazhu here, how could he be where he is today? He was promoted to group leader but he deliberately didn't tell me. What was he thinking?"
When Xiao Xu and his guards were about to take action, Wang Chunhua went crazy and pushed them, even biting them. "I won't leave, even if I die! Who the hell, I helped you raise your son, and you just watched us get bullied? If I die, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Wang Chunhua cursed at Sun Fengying, who walked to the back with her two children. She was not good at quarreling and her face turned red, but she saw her daughter coming with the police.
Gao Juanjuan had a dark face. She approached and said, "We have already called to confirm that you deliberately deceived the captain of Taohua Village to get a letter of introduction near Haicheng in order to come and cause trouble for Qiuyue and the others."
Ever since she learned about Qiuyue and her friends' experiences in Taohua Village, she had a deep hatred for Wang Chunhua and her husband. "Making up lies to write letters of introduction is a crime. We have also found that many people actively seek out Zhang Shunli to kidnap children. You have been married for many years and have no children. I think you are also suspected of this."
After hearing what Gao Juanjuan said, everyone looked at Lin Fugui and his wife with even more contempt. Some people said, "Sure enough, Deputy Head Lin had a reason to break off relations with them. Otherwise, they had paid for their living expenses for six years, which shows that Deputy Head Lin is a filial son. There must be a reason for him to suddenly break off relations with them."
"Yeah, these two people even bought a child, damn it!"
Although Gao Juanjuan said there was suspicion, everyone naturally assumed that Wang Chunhua and Lin Fugui bought the child, because this happened to many people in the village and it was not uncommon in that era.
After hearing what Gao Juanjuan said, Lin Fugui's hands and feet were already cold, but Wang Chunhua didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. "Don't talk nonsense, we are just here to visit relatives. Isn't Lin Dazhu our relative?"
"You are about to die, and you are still making trouble!" Gao Juanjuan couldn't believe what kind of life her brother and Qiuyue had led in the past years that they would encounter such adoptive parents. She felt even more guilty and distressed for her brother.
Sun Fengying also felt guilty. If she had found her son earlier, he wouldn't have to suffer so much with Wang Chunhua and her husband. Thinking of this, her nose turned sour and she looked at Wang Chunhua and her husband with eyes full of resentment.
"We didn't do anything bad, so how could we die? Don't scare us!" said Wang Chunhua.
Jiang Qiuyue walked to Gao Juanjuan and whispered "Sister".
"Don't be afraid, mom and I are here." Gao Juanjuan patted Jiang Qiuyue's arm. She caught a glimpse of Lin Nannan sobbing and looking at Wang Chunhua as if she were a dead person. "I didn't finish my sentence just now. Officer Qiu said that they found another couple who bought the child based on the information left by Zhang Shunli. In order to reduce their own sentence, they took the initiative to confess the people who found Zhang Shunli to kidnap the child together."
Hearing this, Lin Fugui had a bad feeling. He and Wang Chunhua had two children who were both pregnant and could not raise them, so he followed the old man's advice and bought a child to raise.
They specifically told Zhang Shunli that they wanted to buy a son. If they didn't have other children in the future, this son could still take care of them in their old age, saving them the trouble of buying another son later.
