Chapter 587: Not even as good as animals (supplement)

The members of the Xu family were arrested, including Xu Minghong, who was taken back to the military area. She was not locked up, but was given a separate house to rest.

Xu Minghong knew that she was safe at this moment. No one would bully her, beat her, or do dirty things to her.

So I slept very well and soundly in this strange place.

Chen Qiao glanced at the room where Xu Minghong lived and whispered to Ding Shaoyuan, "Is it really not necessary to find a female comrade to accompany her?"

Ding Shaoyuan shook his head: "No, she is stronger than we thought."

Chen Qiao leaned against the wall and sneered, "It's really unlucky to have such a father."

Ding Shaoyuan frowned, thinking of everything that happened tonight, and shook his head: "If she is really my biological daughter, she wouldn't do such a beastly thing."

Chen Qiao stood up and looked at Ding Shaoyuan: "You mean, they are not father and daughter?"

After seeing several of them who were not his biological children, Chen Qiao couldn't help but make some conspiracies.

I am worried that these are also conspiracies and tricks of the Japanese.

Apart from those people from the Xu family, only the four of them knew what happened tonight.

Chen Qiao and several others were responsible for interrogating the Xu family. Apart from writing down the facts clearly in the report, they would not tell anyone what Xu Jun attempted to do to Xu Minghong. This would not prevent a few people from bringing it up privately.

They need to analyze the whole thing, including Xu Jun.

Ding Shaoyuan glanced at Chen Qiao and asked, "Would you be such a beast?"

Chen Qiao cursed: "You are right, even animals can't do such a thing."

"He is worse than an animal."

Therefore, it is possible that the beast is not Xu Minghong’s biological father.

They interrogated the Xu family members overnight. Except for Xu Jun, the rest of the Xu family did not even need to use truth pills. They just told them everything they knew.

They were busy with this matter until dawn. Several people sat on wooden stools, leaning against the wall, lost in thought.

Xue Kun sighed: "What is going on? Good things never happen to me, and I always encounter weird things!"

Chen Qiao nodded, agreeing with his brother: "This Xu Jun is also a ruthless person."

Huo Lanci was silent for a moment, then said slowly: "I'll go write the report."

Instead of finding out who was behind the child theft, they discovered that someone was impersonating someone else.

More than ten years ago, when Xu Minghong and Xu Mingzhen's biological father returned to his hometown to pick up his wife and children and came to Beijing, he met Ding Erniu, who was on the run after murdering someone, on the road. Because the two men had similar body shapes and looked somewhat similar, it was difficult to tell the real one from the back, and the two felt like they had known each other for a long time.

During the conversation, Ding Erniu learned that Xu Jun was a soldier and was now returning to his hometown to pick up his children.

He felt resentful in his heart. The two men looked so similar, so why was Xu Jun able to become a soldier and have the qualifications to have his wife and children accompany him in the army?

He killed people and began his life on the run.

Don’t even know where the end is?

When he learned that Xu Jun had not been back to his hometown for six or seven years and that he had few opportunities to write letters because his hometown was far away, he had already come up with the idea of ​​replacing him and began to ask questions.

The real Xu Jun was a simple and honest person, and was easily tricked into telling this man who was somewhat like a 'brother' to him some of his experiences.

Knowing some of his experiences and where his home was, Ding Erniu then began to set up a trap to let Xu Jun die for his bravery.

He took away all of Xu Jun's things, and finally said that Xu Jun was Ding Erniu, a fugitive.

In this way, Ding Erniu took over Xu Jun's identity, slept with Xu Jun's wife, and even had two sons with her.

After the two of them slept in the same bed for a long time, Xu's mother gradually discovered that there was something wrong with her husband.

But after the child was born, she finally chose to pretend she didn't find out and even helped to cover it up.

Xu Minghong is not their biological daughter, but the orphan of an old comrade-in-arms of Xu Jun. When they arrived in Beijing that year, they found out that Xu Jun had agreed to raise a child for his old comrade-in-arms.

Less than ten days after they arrived in Beijing, Xu Minghong came to them.

After finishing the report, Huo Lanci found that it was already past seven in the morning. He asked someone to prepare two breakfasts, and then asked Xue Kun to take Minghong to a conference room, where the two of them ate breakfast face to face.

Xu Minghong glanced at Huo Lanci cautiously: "Captain Huo, do you have something to tell me?"

Huo Lanci thought for a moment, then took out an adoption certificate from the bottom of the box and handed it to Xu Minghong: "Take a look at this."

He felt that if he didn't explain clearly, the little girl in front of him would definitely not dare to eat.

Xu Minghong was stunned for a long time after hearing this. After she came to her senses, she slowly turned her eyes to the adoption certificate.

After she finished reading, she burst into tears: "So, my biological parents are dead, and my adoptive father who wanted to adopt me is also dead?"

Xu Minghong already knew about Xu Jun's affairs and realized that he was a fake.

Huo Lanci nodded: "The real comrade Xu Jun and your father were comrades-in-arms. The two had always had a good relationship. After your father died on a mission, your mother also died of a heart attack. Xu Jun also received a transfer order to Beijing City, and he offered to adopt you at that time."

"I only found out about these things after I called people who knew about the incident overnight."

The real Xu Jun is a just and responsible person.

What a pity.

Hearing this, Xu Minghong smiled bitterly: "Then my sister and I are not children of the same father and mother?"

"Is this important?" Huo Lanci couldn't help but ask, "Blood ties are important, but there are some feelings in this world that are more reliable than blood ties."

It was just like he and Ding Shaoyuan and the others, who had no blood relationship but could trust each other with life and death.

Xu Minghong was silent for a long time before nodding: "Yes, sister is my real sister."

"Now that you know that man is not your biological father, are you in the mood to eat now?" Huo Lanci felt as if he was taking care of his grown-up daughter's mood in advance.

Xu Minghong nodded repeatedly. Knowing that the man was not her father, she felt really happy.

But she was unwilling to accept the fact that her real adoptive father had died and she had to bear the stigma from others. "Can you clarify everything for my adoptive father and give him justice?"

After her parents died and no one was willing to raise her, her adoptive father adopted her even though he already had a pair of children. Even though he never raised her for a single day, she grew up relying on his allowance for all these years.

So in Xu Minghong's heart, the deceased Xu Jun is her adoptive father.

As for this fake murderer, he is not his adoptive father, he is his enemy.

Xu Minghong thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "When he replaced my dad, my elder brother and sister were already in their teens, and they didn't find out about it?"

Although asking this question might seem like a trap for her sister, she still wanted to know.

Huo Lanci said: "Before that, your elder brother had met Xu Jun three times, and your sister had met him twice. It's normal that they have no impression of him."

"We have asked someone to contact your older brother and older sister."

"My mother, she must be an insider." At this point, Xu Minghong smiled bitterly: "She must know, otherwise, she wouldn't be beaten so often."

The military contacted Xu Mingjing, who was also shocked when he learned about this and asked if there was any mistake.

When he finally learned that the story was true, he only said one thing: everything will be judged according to the law, and he would not plead for his mother.

As for his two younger brothers, he doesn't care about them.

When Xu Mingzhen received the news, he was silent for a long time and also said that the judgment would be made according to the law.

Xu Mingzhen expressed her willingness to pay for her sister's upbringing and education.

When she and her elder brother came to Beijing, they were already in their teens, and they knew very well that Minghong was not their mother's biological child.

But he is the orphan of his father's comrade-in-arms.

Therefore, the eldest brother never got close to Minghong, and even hated her, thinking that she came to the family to steal food.

Over the years, the only thing she was grateful to her elder brother for was that he did not publicize the matter.

When Yu Wanqing heard about this, she was silent for a long time: "Should we send Minghong to an orphanage?"

Huo Lanci nodded: "Ding Erniu was sentenced to death, Xu's mother was sentenced to life imprisonment, and the three were sent to different orphanages."

"We have already managed to get Minghong to stay in a nearby orphanage so that everyone can take care of her."

"Comrade Mingzhen has also made it clear that he will support my sister's education."

As for the other two, she said nothing.

Everyone in the family compound knew about the Xu family, so when Xu Minghong was sent away, many aunties and ladies in the family compound came to see her off. Aunt Zhuang also went. She was holding a bag in her hand, which was filled with some underwear and two sets of warmer clothes that Xiaowu asked her to make. She was worried that someone would steal her things, so there were a few patches on the clothes.

Aunt Zhuang sighed, stroked Minghong's hair, and whispered, "Dr. Yu is still in confinement and couldn't come to see you off, so she asked me to make two sets of clothes, both new. I was worried that someone would steal them, so I sewed a few patches outside."

"You are alone in the orphanage, so you must take good care of yourself. Don't be too gentle. You can be a little fierce, but just protect yourself."

Sometimes I think it’s good for a girl to grow up to be like Cuiwen when she has no one to protect her.

At least no one will bully you.

Xu Minghong took the clothes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Aunt Zhuang, I will take good care of myself."

In fact, life in an orphanage might be better for her.

At least you won't get beaten so often.

After sending Xu Minghong away, a grandmother couldn't help but pull Aunt Zhuang aside and whispered, "I heard that the two children of the Xu family are not coming back?"

They all knew that Xu Mingzhen had close contacts with the Huo family. Now that this had happened, they couldn't help but ask about Xu Mingzhen and her siblings.

Aunt Zhuang said: "Mingzhen just joined the army and can't come back. She has already said that she will support Minghong's schooling."

"What about the other two?" After asking, another lady pulled her sleeve and said, "Okay, go back quickly. It's very cold. It's better to stay at home to keep warm."

Grandma smiled and said, "I'm just curious, but when I think about it, I think it's normal for Mingzhen and his sister to ignore the two children."

"They are not the children of the same father, and Ding Erniu also killed the real Xu Jun. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a blood feud between them."

The old lady then said, "It's good that you understand. If someone says that Zhen doesn't care about her brothers and sisters in the future, you have to help her speak up."

"The two girls of the Xu family are really pitiful. Mingzhen has already joined the army and her future will not be bad. I just hope Minghong can do better."

The two daughters of the Xu family are both good-looking and good at studying. If they were in other people's homes, they would definitely be very spoiled.

Grandma Chen said: "Back then, someone wanted to adopt Minghong, but the couple doesn't have any children yet. Otherwise, we can go and ask them. If they still want to adopt Minghong, the child won't have to live in an orphanage."

"Aunt Chen, don't ask. The man of that family died some time ago, and now there is only a woman left at home. Who knows, she may get married in the future." The old lady stopped Grandma Chen from asking the hostess of that family.

They really liked Minghong back then and came several times, hoping to adopt her.

But the Xu couple were unwilling to do so, and it would have a bad impact.

If they had known at that time that Minghong was not Xu's biological daughter, they might have said a few words in the hope that the Xu family would release her.

What a pity.

Aunt Zhuang went back and told Yu Wanqing about this, and she sighed, "What a pity."

Yu Wanqing smiled and said, "These things all depend on fate."

"Minghong is not as weak as everyone thinks. She can live well even in an orphanage."

If they could visit often, no one would dare to bully the child even if he lived in an orphanage.

Aunt Zhuang nodded: "I'd rather be in an orphanage than be beaten every day."

On the sixth day after Yu Wanqing gave birth, Comrade Huo Jianying finally had time to see her grandchildren, but she was too busy with work, so after seeing them for a while, she had to leave again.

Ms. Wen Shuanghua has not returned from her business trip yet.

Grandpa Huo looked at his son's back as he left in the snow and sighed, "Neither of them is home."

"They all have their own responsibilities, and the family sometimes seems insignificant. No matter what, I am proud of them." Yu Wanqing said with a smile: "They are so responsible because they have a good role model."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Huo laughed out loud: "I am very happy and proud to hear you say that."

Yu Wanqing smiled and sat on the chair next to Grandpa: "Grandpa, how about I play a game of chess with you?"

Upon hearing this, Master Huo's eyes lit up, but thinking of his grandson's wife who was still in confinement after childbirth, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, you need to rest well."

"It's okay. I'm young and have a good recovery ability. If you let me go to the battlefield now, I can kill the Japanese without leaving a single piece of armor." After Yu Wanqing finished speaking, he took out the chessboard and placed it on the table.

Seeing this, Master Huo's hands began to itch. He looked at Yu Wanqing again and found that she looked very well and was in good condition, so he felt at ease to play chess with her.

When Huo Lanci came back, he saw two people fighting.

Xu Xiuqing felt helpless and whispered, "They have been down there for more than an hour."

"Comrade Huo Jianying came back to see the child today."

Huo Lanci nodded: "He is in a hurry to attend a meeting and will probably be back tomorrow."

He walked to the side, looked at his grandfather, then looked at his wife, and found that his wife was no match for his grandfather.

He wanted to say something, but Grandpa glared at him and said, "Shut up! If you say something nonsense, I'll punish you."

A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word.
