Just in time for a crackdown, the two perpetrators were immediately convicted.
Wu Lianhua and her brother originally had no concrete evidence, but during the interrogation, Wu Lianhua's unreasonable behavior and rambling revealed her true thoughts, which could be considered as her own testimony. As the instigator, Wu Lianhua was directly exiled to a mine further north.
Although her brother did not take any substantial action, or perhaps he had not yet had the chance to do so, he was only sentenced to a year of hard labor in the mine.
However, given Wu Lianhua's reckless behavior, and the fact that the matter had become public, everyone in both Liujiatun and Chengjiabaozi, where the Wu family lived, knew that Wu's daughter, out of jealousy, had instigated her younger brother to persecute the educated youth, which indirectly led to the suffering of an educated youth couple.
Li Yan was dragged into the mountains and then back down, losing her seven-month-old baby in the process.
Chen Jianguo was shot several times, and his leg almost had to be amputated.
The news had spread like wildfire, and the Wu family dared not leave their homes. Forget about marriage, the contempt and scorn from their neighbors turned the Wu family parents' hair white overnight.
I wonder if they regret their ignorance and their indulgence of their child.
They were too ashamed to continue living there, and finally left the place where they had lived for half their lives, along with their son who went down to the mine.
After Wu Lianhua was exiled, Liu Guoping lived a muddled life with his bewildered son. He only came to the attention of the villagers again a month later.
Those with sharp eyes noticed that he returned with a woman, followed by a disheveled Liu Jiabao and two tall, thin boys.
"What? They've been looking for you again?"
Several villagers who had come to watch the spectacle followed behind him, watching him head towards the village office.
Liu Weimin was also stunned.
What did you say?
Liu Guoping's expression was blank.
“Village chief, we all have children with us and want to get together and live together.”
"You? You've all thought it through?"
This kind of thing is not illegal and it's consensual, so Liu Weimin didn't interfere and immediately issued a letter of introduction.
When the news spread, the villagers were surprised, but they understood. It wasn't a long-term solution for a man to raise a child alone. Although it was indeed a bit rushed, it was his life, and what could outsiders like them say?
As the group talked, they also expressed some regret.
"That's too fast. It hasn't been that long. Even if there's no love left, she still had a child with him."
When talking about her child, Li Yan unconsciously reached out to touch her now flat stomach.
Yes, the child who smiled simply inside that closed box ultimately couldn't hold on.
It is said that Li Yan and the others left on the morning of their discharge from the hospital.
Perhaps because she had already been heartbroken, or perhaps because her body simply didn't have the energy to handle major emotional fluctuations, Li Yan didn't become hysterical this time.
The person who used to be talkative and cheerful now has to hold their stomach and recover for a long time even if they cough a little too loudly.
Chen Jianguo is doing well. Although it was a gunshot wound, he has a good constitution and is recovering quite well. He doesn't have any other work to do now and is taking good care of Li Yan.
What made them even more gratified was that even when Li Yan was in a bad mood and made a fuss, he could still comfort her carefully and patiently, without showing any signs of impatience.
Although the compensation from the Wu family was not much, it was enough for the two of them to make a living in the short term, since they had just received their share of grain this year. However, Chen Jianguo himself said that he would not let Li Yan do heavy work in the future and that she should take good care of herself.
After this incident, the couple became much more silent and their personalities became more composed.
In short, it's the price of growing up.
Both times, it was related to educated youth. Regardless of any conflicts or disagreements in normal times, when something happened, everyone was generally very united.
For more than a month, not all the educated youth went to the hospital to visit them, but Li Yan's small courtyard was never deserted.
Whether it was Lin Dongfang and Ling Weidong, who were close to Chen Jianguo, or Wang Jiancheng and others, who were just nodding acquaintances, or Wang Hongmei and Tang Cui, who had never gotten along with Li Yan, almost everyone would bring some firewood every time they went up the mountain to collect it.
As for anything truly valuable, there really wasn't anything. They probably considered the situation of these two people, which is why they sent this seemingly insignificant yet irresistible, practical gift.
When the couple returned, there was already a lot of firewood piled up in the yard. Combined with what Chen Jianguo had stored up before, they had more than enough firewood for the winter.
"I never realized they were such kind people."
"What's wrong? Are you touched?"
"Not really, it's just that I suddenly realized that these people are actually quite fun."
"You see, normally, you don't like me, I don't like you, and we're all trying to take advantage of each other. There's a lot of open and covert competition. But look, when it comes to this, no one is really going to abandon the situation. I haven't seen anyone get impatient, nor have I heard anyone complain. Just now, I even saw a few people outside discussing whether they needed any help."
"So many feelings?"
Are you thinking about what happened with Chen Ruonan that day?
"I've always remembered it. I never expected that in that situation, not a single person would try to curry favor with them, put me down, or kick me when I was down. Really."
You said it's been so long, and I'm not exactly someone who enjoys socializing; I'm also rather reserved. It's quite surprising.
"You," Mingzhu said, her perspective as an outsider quite clear.
"That kind of thing is different from the usual petty squabbles; it's completely different in nature. What we're talking about is just a conflict, but what she's doing is real harm."
Let's be honest. We've all been in school for so many years, and we're all pretty much aware of the current situation. So, how much of this is true and how much is false?
Yes or no?
She's clearly determined to harm you.
Didn't you see what was in her suitcase? The letter, the foreign book, and... and that thing,"
Mingzhu didn't see it, but Lin Dongfang was there. A family like theirs had seen everything, so they naturally knew the seriousness of what that thing represented.
"You tell me yourself, if those things were really put in your house, and a search were conducted later, would you be able to explain yourself clearly?"
Whether it's a light or heavy sentence, it's all up to others to say. To put it mildly, it's your problem. But what if someone is more observant? If they dig deeper, things will become complicated.
Many of these reports are simply baseless.
Those people were also arrogant and unreasonable. Think about it, what were they really up to?
Jian Dan was not a soft-hearted person, and she had naturally thought of this long ago. In fact, she knew that it was impossible to coexist peacefully with this person as soon as she was glared at in the sleeper car.
