Even Jian Dan was completely bewildered.
"What does this have to do with anything?"
Mingzhu sighed.
"Right, it's a mess."
As soon as she shouted, people nearby rushed over, and Zhao Di woke up too. Think about it…
Toothache, what kind of confusion is this?
"At that time, Chen Hongli herself was also stunned. In that situation, she definitely had to extricate herself first. She immediately started to make accusations, saying that Liu Guoqiang, Du Xiuling and Zhao Di were having illicit relationships."
Enraged, Liu Guoqiang was about to beat her up. Zhao Di burst into tears, and then Du Xiuling woke up. The group started fighting, creating quite a scene.
Even the simplest thing is stunned.
"Fortunately, almost everyone nearby was an educated youth. They all knew that Zhao Di had twisted her ankle, and the two villagers who came with Liu Guoqiang also knew and could testify that he did come to see Du Xiuling. There were still eggs that Liu Guoqiang had just given her in Du Xiuling's coat pocket."
Zhao Di was completely innocent in this disaster.
"...So, how did you solve it?"
"At that time, they were on the mountain, and there were other villagers and educated youth around. Hey, there were even some people watching the show and laughing at them."
Lin Dongfang was so angry that he immediately gave them a scare. The two villagers were Liu Guoqiang's childhood friends and wouldn't go around telling everyone.
The next day was the autumn harvest, and Liu Guoqiang, the scorekeeper, was suspended and is now working in the fields with them.
The village chief directly allocated the land on the east slope to Du Xiuling and Chen Hongli, just the two of them. They won't allow anyone else to help them, and they're still haggling over there.
"The two of them are assigned together?"
"And Dongpo, that piece of land is quite large. Last year, several people worked there for over a week!"
"Yes, I don't know who spread it, but the village chief was furious. He said, 'Beat him, beat him hard. If someone dies, I'll go to the county to apologize.'"
These two didn't dare to fight. It's said that they had already divided up the work and were each doing half of it.
They were afraid that the village chief would actually take them both to the police station after the autumn harvest.
After hearing this farce, Jian Dan felt like her head was about to explode.
"To be honest, I still don't understand their thinking."
Du Xiuling knocked the person unconscious so that Zhao Di wouldn't tell anyone.
Chen Hongli wanted to harm someone, so she knocked Du Xiuling unconscious again?
They're trying to drag several people into this again. What are they trying to do?
Harmful to others without benefiting oneself?
Or was it purely out of spite?
Mingzhu shrugged.
"This plan was proposed by Chen Hongli when she was excited. She was very proud of herself at the time, saying that if her plan was followed, Ling Weidong and Wei Shujuan would be found in the cave, and she would not be found at all. The investigation would only lead to Du Xiuling. Moreover, many people know that Wei Shujuan likes Ling Weidong."
When asked again later, she refused to say anything.
"Du Xiuling, perhaps it was a desperate act at the time?"
Instead of simply expressing enthusiasm and waiting to hear gossip, she might as well make up her own story.
"To be honest, I didn't understand at all. I really couldn't figure out Chen Hongli's thought process. How did she come up with all this convoluted thinking? Isn't she just trying to get herself into trouble? With so many objective people and events, how can everything happen according to her wishes?"
Little Lin Huizhou was having a great time playing with the ball, giggling and laughing non-stop, casually fiddling with his little toes.
"Little Zhouzhou, you also think she's stupid, right? We can't be like her, we have to stay far away from her, lest we catch her."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot, a few more educated youths have arrived. Should we go over and show our faces tonight?"
Mingzhu was surprised.
"Didn't they just arrive before the autumn harvest? Five female educated youths, isn't that enough?"
The external situation is becoming increasingly severe, and this is clearly becoming the trend.
"That's not important. What I want to tell you is that there's a female educated youth named Chen Ruonan who's coming this time. Try to avoid contact with her."
"What's wrong? Do you know her? Did she hurt you?"
Simply waved her hand, "No, not at all."
After briefly explaining what happened in the car, Mingzhu surprisingly accepted it quite naturally.
"There are quite a few people like that,"
Now it's simple and incomprehensible.
"But, but, can you really trust someone like that?"
"Of course I'm worried, but this kind of thing, this kind of behavior, can also be explained as the human instinct for survival."
Look at their relationship. And what about my family? My aunt is my grandparents' biological daughter. Isn't that the same? They turned around and stabbed each other in the back.
So, with this kind of person, it's best to keep your distance and be wary. At least they do it openly, instead of stabbing you in the back in the dark. Actually, think about it, it's much easier than guarding against an enemy who might betray you from who-knows-where or when.
I just wanted to slap myself twice, but I hesitated.
"Sister Zhuzhu, I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention and brought up something sad."
Mingzhu now understands.
"That thing happened a long time ago, and it doesn't cease to exist just because you don't mention it. What do you have to apologize for?"
Don't worry, I've calmed down. My grandpa and dad are still missing, so I need to work hard to find them and wait for the day we can be reunited.
Simply put her arm around his shoulder.
"It will definitely happen, Sister Zhuzhu. The sky won't be covered by dark clouds forever."
"Hello, your uncle and grandfather are probably waiting for you somewhere."
"Um."
The pent-up frustration in her chest finally eased a little, and meeting her son's clear gaze, Mingzhu smiled.
"Yes, they must be waiting for me, right, son?"
As he spoke, his tone became somewhat more relaxed.
“Dongfang has been asking people to help find news of my grandfather and father. He said he would ask his uncle for help, but I felt a little embarrassed and was afraid of dragging him into this. This time, after returning from the hospital, he even scolded Dongfang.”
Mingzhu laughed out loud as she spoke.
"Dongfang is such a grown man, yet he was still chased and beaten by the old man, who said he was ignorant and couldn't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent."
As a result, after returning home, only two months later, before the autumn harvest, a message came saying that there seemed to be news, and they were waiting to go and see after the harvest.
"Sister Zhuzhu, this is great news! Just let me know if there's anything I can do to help,"
But then I thought, the Lin family has resources, and with Lin Zhengde as the regimental commander, they probably won't lack general supplies.
"Oh, right, take a look at where they are. They're not getting enough nutrition, so their health probably won't be very good. I'll find you some common medicines to take with you, just in case, right?"
Mingzhu's nose tingled with emotion.
“I’m not worried about anything else. They all came back from the battlefield. They can survive even in the mountains. I just don’t know if there are any kind people who can help my grandfather’s illness and my father’s leg. My father is such a strong man. How can he endure it with two broken legs? I hope he doesn’t die of misery.”
