Zhang Xinglian and the others were now more cautious than anyone else. She realized someone was following her, so she hid under a tree. When the two children came up, she ran out and asked, "Why are you following me?"
The two children were shocked.
Zhang Hetao was smart and pulled his sister away quickly!
Sister Lian Ya’s eyes sometimes look sinister, which is really scary. It’s better to run away first!
Zhang Xinglian had important things to do right now and was in no mood to bother with the two little brats. Taozi dragged his sister along for a while before saying to her, "Meiya, go back to Lugou Village and find Sister Rongya. I'll follow her!"
He can slip away quickly, and it's more convenient for him to do it alone.
Mei Ya was a little reluctant to go back alone at first, but after Zhang Hetao explained the situation to her, she agreed...
Meanwhile, Zhang Xingrong didn't go home. She went to the commune director to make a phone call.
This era isn't as developed as it was in the past, when cell phones were ubiquitous. These days, the primary means of communication are letters and telegrams. As for expensive devices like telephones, only government agencies have them. In their entire town, only the town has them.
"Hello, Comrade President, I am Zhang Xingrong, the daughter of Comrade Zhang Guojun!"
"Zhang Guojun's daughter?" Yang Kuiwu didn't really recognize Zhang Xingrong, but he would never forget Zhang Guojun. He looked her up and down with a stern look, "Zhang Guojun's son killed someone last night. He's your brother, right?"
Zhang Xingrong knew from the tone that the call wouldn't go through today: "My brother wouldn't kill anyone."
She didn't say much else. Since the man's tone was unfriendly, saying too much might have a counterproductive effect, so she simply kept quiet.
She hadn't had much contact with Yang Kuiwu in her previous life and had no impression of him. Did he have a grudge against her second brother?
"Humph, who doesn't know what kind of morals your family has?" Yang Kuiwu snorted coldly, "Just like your father."
"My father is a martyr. You have no right to talk about him." Zhang Xingrong said coldly. She didn't care who the person was who was talking about her father. "If you say he's not, you're insulting the martyrs. My father is a recorded martyr. If you dare say another word, I'll go to the county and sue you!"
"You..." Yang Kuiwu was furious. He had been the president for so many years, and not many people dared to be so arrogant in front of him! This little girl was so ignorant!
Zhang Xingrong ignored him and turned to leave. There was a post office in the town, so she went there to send a telegram.
In order to get the message out faster, she even paid extra for an express telegram! Each word cost ten cents to send, and an expedited one cost half that much. But right now, she didn't need that little money.
After sending the telegram, Zhang Xingrong returned to Lugou Village. She didn't know what had become of Shitou, so she had to go back and check.
As soon as she returned to Lugou Village, she saw Zhang Xingmei waiting at the village entrance.
"Sister Rongya!" Meiya was very happy to see her.
Zhang Xingrong asked, "Why are you here? Have you eaten?"
Speaking of eating, Meiya's stomach couldn't help but growl. She hadn't eaten, and she hadn't been able to eat last night either.
"Let's go to my sister's house. I'll make you something delicious!" Zhang Xingrong felt really bad for the two siblings. Her brothers used to earn money for Zhang Haisan, but Zhang Haisan and Chen Xuezhi didn't want their fourth uncle's family to take advantage, so they split up the family and kicked them out.
Now that their eldest family has moved to Lugou Village, the old man and his family have asked the Zhang family to work and don’t even give them food. They are so shameless!
As she spoke, she took Zhang Xingmei's hand, only to hear Meiya scream in pain. Puzzled, she pulled back Meiya's sleeve and saw marks of beatings. She knew without hesitation what had happened: it was either Chen Xuezhi's family or Zhang Haisan!
