What's truly shocking isn't just these things, but the heartless and despicable nature of this family that they actually sold the eldest sister's corpse and arranged a ghost marriage for her.
Xiao Jiu asked incredulously, "Has no one reported this? Hasn't the campaign to eliminate feudal superstition been ongoing all along?"
"Of course someone reported it, but the Lin family denied it. They insisted that her older sister's in-laws were heartless, beat her sister to death, and left her with nowhere to go after her death. They had no choice but to transport the body to the cemetery of a fellow villager who wanted her."
Take money?
That's not true.
Unless the two parties involved say something, who would know?
You know you need to provide evidence!
The Lin family's shamelessness was notorious in the village, and in the end, this matter was left unresolved.
sorrow.
I wonder if this eldest sister of the Lin family ever regretted her actions before she died; in any case, she had no chance to regret them after she died.
"And then there's Zhao Xiaobo, the one you saved, Cuimei. He married a shrew and died of a heart attack at a young age."
Fortunately, the Tang family did not become in-laws with them at that time, otherwise they would have been widows after only a few years of marriage.
Not only did he not leave behind any children, but his wife also ran away immediately after Zhao Xiaobo suffered a heart attack.
By the time the Zhao family discovered it, rigor mortis had already occurred.
When Xiao Jiu asked about her high school classmates, Gao Mingxia hesitated, and her eyes suddenly turned sad.
"Zhu Hongqi died at the age of twenty-eight. She was overworked, unmarried, and ultimately died like her older sister on the road of selfless dedication to that family."
Xiao Jiu opened her mouth, then suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes: "How could this happen...?"
Gao Mingxia sighed, "Before leaving, she paid off all her debts, and it was as if she had suddenly found peace, and then she collapsed."
Peng Juan went to work at a state tax bureau in Los Angeles and married a local tax bureau official. She has been doing quite well since her marriage.
Pang Weiwei is even more remarkable. She was a Chinese language teacher at a prestigious junior high school in Los Angeles, and by chance, she married the principal of an ordinary middle school.
The principal was five years older than her and doted on her like the apple of his eye. She had no in-laws and no siblings, making her a true winner in life.
After marriage, she had two sons and a daughter, and lived a happy and fulfilling life.
After graduating from military academy, Zhou Shengnan joined an army unit, married an officer, and later became the county magistrate of Meng County.
The couple had a very good relationship, and they had three sons in quick succession. I also heard that she cut off contact with her family, which is great.
The passing of Zhu Hongqi, however, became a thorn in Xiao Jiu's side. "Why did she have to follow in her older sister's footsteps?"
Zhao Lingli patted her on the shoulder: "Because of the subtle influence of her family of origin, she simply cannot let go and ignore it."
"Do you remember Huang Hua? She's the Huang Hua who betrayed Huang Xin and married his comrade-in-arms."
Xiao Jiu was momentarily stunned before remembering that Huang Xin was her eldest sister's first fiancé, and immediately nodded.
"I remember now, what happened to her?"
"Her husband abused her, and when she went back to her parents' home to cry and complain, no one stood up for her. When she was pushed to the limit, she conspired with a bachelor from the same village to kill her husband."
Later, both of them were sentenced to prison. The child's in-laws kicked him out of the house, and the Huang family also refused to take him in, so he became a vagrant on the streets.
I heard he went to prison a few years later, and I wonder if he and his mother will ever be reunited.
Xiao Jiu curled her lip. "Someone as ungrateful as her deserves to end up like this. What about Huang Xin?"
"Huang Xin's wife is a really good wife. She is not only capable, but also kind."
At first, they tried many folk remedies to treat his leg, and later, by chance, they also helped the people from our village who had been sent down to the countryside.
There was an orthopedic expert among them who, through traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, managed to restore sensation to Huang Xin's leg.
With his amazing will to survive and his endurance, he continued to do rehabilitation training.
Now, with the help of a cane, he can walk around the village.
They can also do some light work, like taking care of the children and cooking.
Our village also established a sideline business of raising rabbits. He went out specifically to find someone to learn from, and came back to get a job.
He is content with his peaceful and happy life now, which is better than his heartless brother's family.
His sister-in-law cheated on his brother, but they still live together. It's a constant source of conflict; karma is coming back to bite him.
This is truly karma. After all, he was a soldier who retired due to injury. It's good that he ended up like this.
"Oh right, you also have a senior brother named Zheng Yuan, right? Didn't he later get recommended to Tongji University's architecture department?"
Li Chunqing's words surprised Xiao Jiu. "What's wrong with him?"
"After he heard about my relationship with you, he came to inquire about you and asked for your address."
By then, he had already settled down and was working in Shanghai, doing quite well. When I asked him, he wouldn't tell me.
I heard that you haven't been seen since you went out on a mission.
However, I heard that he eventually married a woman named Yang Xinyue, who was a year ahead of you and a top student who graduated from Renmin University!
Xiao Jiu nodded. "The school beauty? Of course I remember. The two of them together, I must say, they're quite a good match."
When Yang Xinyue was mentioned, she immediately thought of Wang Xincheng, who was allergic to penicillin.
Just then, Zhou Yue returned. "Do you still remember that bastard Wang Xincheng you saved?"
Zhou Yue asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly asking about this person? He died a long time ago. I heard he died from a penicillin allergy."
Xiao Jiu let out an "Ah!" and then cursed.
"Serves you right. If it weren't for your good stamina back then, you might have been dragged down by this bastard."
Zhou Yue coughed lightly, "Why bring up things from the past?"
"What about the two Qin brothers, Qin Chao and Qin Yang? They've had a few encounters, how are they doing?"
"Like your two older brothers, Qin Chao followed the route of working in a classified unit. After graduating from Maritime University, Qin Yang worked at sea and held a fairly high rank."
After graduation, they stayed in the city and haven't returned since. Both brothers have good futures and happy families.
I had seen the Qin Dynasty once before and learned a little about it.
The more I reminisce about the past, the more I realize the huge difference between going to school and not going to school.
In closing, he couldn't help but lament Zhu Hongqi's life, saying, "If only she had persevered a little longer and gotten into university, her fate might have been different."
Even if you didn't go to university, but went to a vocational school or junior college, your life could have been turned around. Unfortunately...
Her personality dictates that she is unwilling to accept her help, much less owe anyone anything; this is her pride and bottom line.
Perhaps it's regrettable, but I also understand that the helplessness on life's journey cannot be overcome by money alone.
That night, everyone had a pleasant conversation, mostly asking questions over drinks while the family members answered.
However, when Cuihua mentioned the unpleasant memories of her older sisters being adopted, she snorted coldly.
"You don't know yet, do you? These shameless people actually came looking for us. I don't know where they found out about this."
They went all the way to the Xihe Village Committee and even asked the villagers about our family background. We know better than anyone what they were up to.”
