Zhang Gang's life was barely saved, but his heart and lungs were injured and he had to spend the rest of his life in bed.
With the remittance slip from Beijing as evidence, He Linyuan did not doubt He Rui's words at all. In fact, compared with these, He Cheng was even more cruel and shameless than they had imagined.
He Linyuan and Song Li are not the kind of people who will swallow their anger. He Cheng has already provoked them, and they would be useless if they don't fight back.
"I want to take my two children to Beijing."
Song Li's attitude was very firm. Although she was talking about negotiation, her tone did not allow He Linyuan to refuse.
How could He Linyuan refuse? The two children were still young. Even if there were relatives around them, they were not in front of him.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
The Song family knew that they were reluctant to let the two children go to Beijing, especially Zhang Xiu. She had watched the two children grow up, and she felt empty in her heart after suddenly leaving for such a long time.
"Grandma, we will be back during the Chinese New Year, and you can come and visit us. Mom said we have a house in Beijing, just like the courtyard house at home."
Qingqing patted Zhang Xiu's shoulders like a little adult, which made Zhang Xiu want to cry even more.
How could she bear to let go of such a good girl?
"Okay, grandma will definitely come to see you."
He Rui also submitted her resignation to Principal Chen, and Principal Chen could understand. After all, nothing is more important than the lives of loved ones.
But it would be a pity to lose this job. Principal Chen tried to persuade her several times, but He Rui shook her head firmly.
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I was alone when I came to Songbei County before, but not now."
She has a brother, sister-in-law and two lovely nephews. They are her family, so she will be wherever her family is.
She can find another job if she loses it, but she doesn't want to be separated from her family again.
......
They returned to Beijing very quickly. He Yanzhang had just received a call from a friend, telling him that He Rui had quit her job and returned to Beijing.
He Yanzhang was puzzled at first, and his friend couldn't tell him too much, so he only quietly revealed that it was related to the two children. When he learned that He Linyuan and Song Li had both gone to Songbei County, He Yanzhang began to take it seriously.
He called County Magistrate Liu and learned about the car accident, especially that the perpetrator might be related to He Cheng. He Yanzhang was so angry that he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
"This beast!"
Like He Linyuan, He Yanzhang also believed He Cheng's evil deeds without hesitation.
Due to the smuggling and reselling incident, Hecheng has long lost its credibility.
As he was speaking, He Cheng walked out of the room, whistling and in a very good mood. However, when he saw He Yanzhang's gloomy face, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
"Dad, you're home..."
"What? Are you hoping that I'm not around so that you can do evil?" He Yanzhang tried his best to suppress his anger, but he couldn't.
He Cheng's face froze for a moment, and his eyes looked a little guilty.
"Dad, what are you talking about? How dare I do such a bad thing? I'm just going to buy some egg cake for Changfeng. I'll be back soon."
He Yanzhang definitely didn't know that he had ordered Zhang Gang to hit someone. He was being mean to him now only because He Yanzhang had always been dissatisfied with him.
"roll!"
The car accident cannot alert the enemy, so even if He Yanzhang is angry, he can only bear it.
"Why......"
He Cheng ran out quickly, and when he turned the corner, he turned his head and spat fiercely at the He family's door.
"Damn old man, just die and be done with it!"
He cursed a few words and hurried to the post office, not knowing whether Zhang Gang had succeeded.
Communications were very developed in the 1970s, but the good thing was that since he ordered Zhang Gang to kill people, he generally couldn't be traced.
He was not the one who sent the money, and he had never seen the two children, so who would have thought of him?
However, He Cheng's pride disappeared after Zhang Gang's call failed. He and Zhang Gang had agreed that they would contact each other at 10 o'clock today regardless of whether they succeeded or not, but Zhang Gang broke the promise.
He Cheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
......
When Song Li and others arrived in Beijing, He Linyuan took them to live in a courtyard house.
He Rui looked at her room and her eyes turned red again.
"Why is there still my room?"
She wanted to ask her brother when he prepared it, but both siblings were taciturn, and He Linyuan was like a saw-mouthed gourd. In the end, it was Song Li who spoke.
"It was booked long ago. I bought some things to decorate it after I arrived. You know men, they always miss out on the details."
"Yeah, he used to do that too. When I was a kid, he braided my hair and almost pulled it out."
He Linyuan took care of He Rui when she was little. After Su Ping got married, He Linyuan was worried about his sister and wanted to hold her wherever he went. However, their hearts gradually grew cold.
Now that He Rui mentioned it, He Linyuan's heart also felt sour.
"Not anymore."
"Not what?"
He Rui didn't expect him to speak, and her mind was confused.
He Linyuan pursed his lips, the tips of his ears turned slightly red, "I won't pull your hair again."
He is the one who styles Qingqing's hair, and he has great skills.
He Rui didn't expect him to say this. Her eyes became hot, but she pretended to be stubborn and turned her head away.
"I'm not a child, why do I need you to tie my hair?"
Although she said this, the smile on her face grew deeper and deeper.
It had been so long, He Rui didn’t know how long she had been fantasizing about such a scene.
She thought she would never reconcile with her brother in this life, and her current life was like a dream.
If it is really a dream, please let her wake up slowly.
"You guys clean up first, I'll go cook."
It was rare for the brother and sister to get along well, so Song Li didn't disturb them.
They hadn't eaten since getting off the train and were now hungry.
Song Li didn't make any trouble and cooked a big pot of tomato and egg noodles, sprinkled a few small green vegetables on it. The color, aroma and taste were delicious, which made people's mouths whet.
He Yanzhang came at this time.
"Ahem."
Song Li and the others were having dinner when suddenly a cough was heard outside. They looked at each other and asked, "Who's here?"
They don't have any relatives here. Today is a weekday and Ye Shu is at work, so it's impossible for him to come over. They don't even know the neighbors well.
Song Li stood up and opened the door, and saw an old man with a serious and old-fashioned expression outside, staring at her intently.
"Why are you here?"
He Linyuan followed and saw He Yanzhang protecting Song Li behind him.
The protective look on his face made He Yanzhang's chest rise and fall slightly.
Am I some kind of monster that makes him so alert?
"Brother, close the door and let's eat!"
He Rui also noticed him. She was full of resentment towards her father and refused to let him in.
"Rebellious son, rebellious daughter!"
He Yanzhang was so angry that he was not allowed to enter, but he came in anyway. He completely forgot the soft words he wanted to say.
If Song Li didn’t know the old man’s identity at this moment, she would be a fool.
There is not much portrayal of He Yanzhang in the original book. Song Li didn't have a good impression of him at first. After all, no one would like a biased father.
But now that he saw the real person, Song Li felt that he might have been wrong.
"Have you eaten yet? Would you like to have something to eat?"
