Chapter 348 Past Events
Wu Fei took the watch and went home. It was late today.
I looked at my watch. It was already past ten o'clock. My grandparents should be asleep.
When I got home, the lights in the living room were off.
Wu Fei went upstairs very carefully, fearing that the wooden floor would wake up her grandparents.
Old people sleep lightly.
I walked to the door of my grandparents' room and listened attentively.
Sure enough, there was no sound. It seemed that he had fallen asleep.
Wu Fei tiptoed towards her room.
"Old Wu, are you so cruel? Weiguo is your most beloved son. We have an unshirkable responsibility for what has happened to him. He will be released from prison tomorrow. If his parents and relatives don't go to pick him up, what do you want him to do?"
There was pain in the old lady's voice.
Wu Fei paused.
Weiguo? The most beloved child?
Who are you talking about?
It seems that my uncle is called Wu Weiguo.
Over the years, my grandparents, parents and I never mentioned my uncle. When the children in our family asked about him, my parents replied that my uncle went abroad for sports and never came back.
Wu Fei also always thought that her uncle had gone abroad and was a person who should not be mentioned.
But how come he is released from prison now?
Could it be that my uncle did something bad in the past, otherwise grandma wouldn’t say that.
"You're still talking! Don't you know what that beast did? He got involved with those people, and even performed surgery on that kind of person, knowing that such a person deserved to die. Do you know the nature of what he did?
Traitor...! He was not sentenced to death because of the government's leniency. Do you think that if you bring him back now, he will reform? You know I have repeatedly told him to hand over the list.
But he just refused to hand it over.
He is so stubborn and recalcitrant, he is not my son at all. I don’t have such a crazy son.”
"Maybe he was wrongly accused. He said he didn't do it, so why don't you believe him? You are his father, and if even you don't believe him, who can help him? Was it his fault alone in that environment? There are many false cases and wrongful convictions. Who knows if he was really wronged?"
The old lady's voice suddenly rose.
Wu Fei was confused, what was she rebelling against?
Mom, it’s not what I think, is my uncle a traitor...to the country?
No wonder my parents, grandparents, and even uncles and aunts never mentioned this matter. It’s too big a matter.
"Even if he was wronged, why didn't he mention it? He should explain. If he was wronged, he could produce evidence to prove that he was not wronged. But he kept silent. I talked to him several times. He just remained silent. If a person is not guilty, then what? Silence means acquiescence. How can you ask me to help him? Do you think I don't want to help him? I have talked to him so many times, but what about him?"
"You can't just abandon him now. He's out of jail. His family won't take him back. Are you going to let him sleep on the street?"
"I'm telling you, as long as I'm in this family, he can't be in this family. If he doesn't sort things out, he can't come back to this family, and I won't recognize him as my son."
"you……"
"It's useless to lose your temper with me. I'm telling you the truth. My old comrades and old friends have analyzed this matter with me. It's very likely that your son is doomed to fail. It's not that I want to give up on him, it's that he simply doesn't want to change. He has no repentant heart."
"But have you ever thought that if you take him home, maybe his family will care for him and give him warmth. He will want to enjoy the family love now and continue this kind of life, so he will tell you the things you wanted him to tell you in the past but he didn't.
Wasn’t he the one who suffered the most these years? Wasn’t he the one who gave the most to this family? Wasn’t he the one who stepped forward first when the situation was life and death?”
The old lady was very excited.
Wu Fei leaned against the wall and listened quietly.
"You can take him back if you want, but I don't want to see him."
The old man replied in a deep voice, isn’t this already a concession?
The old lady sighed, "I know you don't want to see him. Let him live in our old house. Is that okay?"
"Do whatever you want! I'm going to sleep."
The room became quiet.
It took Wu Fei a long while to walk back to her room.
My chest was pounding.
I didn't expect their family had such a secret.
Everyone thought that his grandfather's eldest son had died a long time ago, and outsiders didn't know the details.
She also thought that her uncle had fled abroad, so she naturally couldn't tell outsiders about this kind of thing, so as not to implicate her family.
She was still wondering, how could the organization not know about this?
Now I know that this is not the case at all.
What on earth was the reason why this uncle was imprisoned in the first place?
It must be a matter of great impact to hear this.
He will be released from prison tomorrow, so I should be able to see my uncle tomorrow.
The next morning, when Wu Fei got up, the house was quiet.
Wu Fei didn’t know when her uncle would come back, but she couldn’t stay at home like this forever.
She planned to find Song Moting and apologize as soon as possible. She had to repay the debt she owed.
Besides, I really want to meet Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Although this woman has never treated her well, she still really likes her personality.
I just like people who are not afraid of power and who are decent and upright in their conduct and actions.
The most important thing is that when you bully others, they fight back without any mercy.
Become stronger when facing a strong opponent.
Wu Fei found the address of Jiang Xiaoxiao's home.
How come I have Jiang Xiaoxiao’s home address?
Needless to say, given the power of her parents, it would not be easy for her to investigate someone.
What's shameful is that she originally found this address in order to retaliate against Jiang Xiaoxiao, but later she really reflected on how badly she behaved as a person.
Under the pressure of her parents, Wu Fei finally felt that she should be a normal person.
One cannot use power to oppress others. Bullying others by taking advantage of one's position is not something that Wu Fei should do.
I asked the driver to take me to the alley where Jiang Xiaoxiao lived. Looking at the narrow alley and the dilapidated bungalows around it, I finally understood that Jiang Xiaoxiao really came from a low-income family.
She was different from the girl she had imagined. Although she came from a low-income family, the confidence in her eyes and the arrogance that looked down on everything made her feel inferior.
I don’t know how Jiang Xiaoxiao’s parents raised her.
Standing outside the yard, Wu Fei was a little hesitant.
If I come here so rashly, will I run into Jiang Xiaoxiao head-on and be humiliated by her?
With my personality, if two people meet, it will definitely be like Mars hitting the Earth, with sparks flying everywhere.
But now that I'm here, I'd feel sorry for myself if I didn't do this today.
After so much education from her parents, Jiang Xiaoxiao really owed others a favor. She felt that she would not be able to feel at ease if she did not repay this huge favor.
