Chapter 111 Found
Feng Ying wiped away her tears for a while. Song Lubai didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say, "Don't worry. When we get back to the camp, I'll quietly ask Li Huijun. She's married, so she definitely knows more than we do."
Feng Ying grabbed her, "You can't ask the people in our camp, I'm afraid it will get out."
Song Lubai: "So no one saw you fall just now?"
Feng Ying deceived herself: "I got up quickly, so no one should have seen me, right?"
She landed on top of Cheng Xiangnan, but quickly got up.
After she came up, everyone was concerned about whether she had hurt herself or was in pain.
The more Feng Ying thought about it, the more she felt that no one should have noticed, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Lubai: "Then when Zhao Aiguo goes to the farm headquarters, I'll go with him. I'll go to the clinic to ask, so no one else will know."
She didn't think it was a big problem. If getting pregnant were that easy, Lin Shuhong and Liu Mei wouldn't have only had two children in the past few years.
Feng Ying nodded, but as she walked back, her head remained bowed, looking preoccupied.
Back at the camp in the evening, as Song Lubai was about to draw a five-pointed star on the blackboard, she heard Li Huijun calling her from afar.
"What's wrong, Sister Li?"
Li Huijun pointed in the direction of the dugout: "Your relatives have come all the way to find you and have been waiting for a while."
Song Lubai retorted, "My relative?"
Where did she get these relatives?
Could it be Liu Mei?
“They had a tough journey. They took a tractor to the Sixth Company, and then walked the remaining ten miles. They almost got lost. I gave them some cucumbers.”
At this point, Li Huijun paused, "You know, our company's food rations are fixed, and they don't get any for dinner."
Song Lubai nodded, "I know, just do what needs to be done, I'll go take a look first."
Li Huijun reminded them, "The third dugout in the first row, that dugout hasn't collapsed yet. I told them to wait over at the brick house, but they insisted on coming here."
Two relatives?
As she continued to guess, she walked up to the top of the third dugout in the first row.
The door curtain of the dugout was drawn, and Lin Shuhong was sitting at the doorway below. When she saw her arrive, she stood up.
After not seeing him for several months, Lin Shuhong looked thin, old, and haggard, like a withered old man.
His clothes looked loose, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
Song Lubai's attitude towards him was unlikely to be good.
What brings you here?
The disgust in her tone was completely undisguised.
Before Lin Shuhong could speak, Lin Jinyao poked her head out of the dugout and timidly called out, "Auntie."
Song Lubai: "Don't call me aunt, your dad and I aren't family."
Lin Jinyao stood there helplessly, looking quite pitiful.
Lin Shuhong came up the earthen steps and turned to Lin Jinyao, saying, "You wait inside first."
When the two arrived at a secluded spot, Lin Shuhong simply pulled out a wad of ten-yuan bills from her pocket. "Here's a hundred yuan. Please keep an eye on her for a while. Once I'm better off and can live in a single dormitory, I'll take her back and send her to school."
One hundred dollars is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
Lin Shuhong came with sincerity this time.
But Song Lubai had no intention of taking the bait.
She wouldn't help him even if you gave her a thousand yuan.
Having more money means he can take a long time to bring people back.
Who is Lin Jinyao? She is the female protagonist of that novel, while Song Lubai is just a minor supporting character who gives Lin Jinyao her inheritance.
She's already come all the way to Xinjiang, why is she still entangled with Lin Jinyao?
She absolutely would not allow this to happen!
“Take the money back. I won’t help you take care of your child. I don’t have any food rations to give her. The company’s food rations are all rationed.”
"Besides, I don't think our relationship is good enough for me to help you take care of your child."
What was this person thinking?! Trying to give her the child to raise!
Lin Shuhong's eyes were red as she pleaded, "I wouldn't have come to you if I hadn't had no other choice. I live in a dormitory with the construction team, and the men there are always shirtless and don't care about appearances. If Jinyao continues to live with me, what if something happens..."
Song Lubai interrupted him: "Then why did you insist on coming in the first place? Go find Liu Mei, she's the child's biological mother, let her figure something out. Your family of three has nothing to do with me, and don't bother me again."
Song Lubai didn't bother listening to him anymore and turned to leave.
Lin Shuhong didn't expect that she wouldn't mention any of their past feelings.
“I shouldn’t have been unreasonable in the past, but honestly, Liu Mei did all the work. I don’t have any grudge against you, do I? I don’t owe you anything, do I?”
Song Lubai turned around with a cold laugh: "You wanted to hit me before, have you forgotten? You dare to say you didn't know what Liu Mei did? You're no good either, so why are you pretending to be innocent now?"
Lin Shuhong had nothing to say.
"But what are you doing now? If you were still on the same side as Liu Mei, you wouldn't come looking for me even if you were dying."
Song Lubai only knew that Liu Mei had escaped, but she didn't know what she had experienced and suffered on the way. Now she really couldn't understand what Lin Shuhong was up to.
"If you can't stand it, find a way to go back to your hometown. You came here on a whim and made your child suffer with you. I really don't know what you were thinking."
Lin Shuhong was filled with remorse.
It's easy to transfer his household registration here, but it's incredibly difficult to transfer it back. What can he do? He can only try to improve his situation now.
"Liu Mei miscarried again and almost died. The child is not mine."
After saying this, Lin Shuhong seemed to have all her energy drained away.
Song Lubai remained silent.
After a long pause, she frowned and said, "If you think Liu Mei has character issues because she schemed against Li Guangming, and you want to break up with her, I respect you as a man. But if you want to break up with her because she was bullied and you feel she is not good enough for you, then you deserve everything you have now."
The people who bullied Liu Mei could be the five people who were arrested last time, or they could be men from the place where she is currently working.
She shook her head, trying to put Liu Mei out of her mind.
What does it have to do with her? She doesn't care about such trivial matters.
At this moment, Song Lubai wanted to ask Lin Shuhong if kissing and holding hands could lead to pregnancy, but Lin Shuhong's identity and their relationship made her hesitate to ask, so she gave up on the question.
Lin Shuhong watched her retreating figure, her bloodshot eyes filled with sorrow, and the dry lines at the corners of her eyes deepened.
How heartless! So heartless! They don't care about any feelings at all.
Song Lubai didn't understand how much a man like Lin Shuhong valued a woman's chastity, and Lin Shuhong also knew that Song Lubai couldn't possibly understand his feelings.
For Lin Shuhong, Liu Mei could be bad, could be immoral, but she had to be clean, and could only be touched by him.
He would rather Liu Mei, who had gotten into trouble, died, so that her death would end everything and he wouldn't feel so bad.
He can't get over that hurdle now, and sometimes he even thinks he'd rather be dead. None of this is what he wanted to see.
Compared to my current dire situation, looking back on the past feels like a dream.
If Song Lubai knew what he was thinking, she would definitely agree with him by saying, "Then go die."
After standing there for a while, Lin Shuhong returned to the dugout with a slightly hunched back.
When Song Lubai returned to the camp and ate her lunchbox, the instructor, who had just returned from the headquarters, came up to her and said, "Come with me to the headquarters tomorrow morning. The headquarters is holding a training course for communications officers, taught by news officers from the headquarters and the department. Have you chosen someone to replace you yet? If you have, bring them along to the training tomorrow."
