Chapter 67: Going to the Countryside as Educated Youth in the 1970s 30
[This is a parallel fictional world. Please do not take any similarities between place names and people as they appear.]
After returning to Jiucheng City, Zhang Xiaojia took Pangpang and Ping'an to He Shiba's house, and saw a quarrel in the family compound. Without her saying anything, Ping'an and Pangpang took her hand to watch the fun.
Zhang Xiaojia saw a mother and daughter scolding a woman, but there were many people in front and he couldn't see clearly.
"I picked you up and provided you with food and water. Now you've grown strong. Your father is in the hospital, and you don't plan to pay for it."
"Sister, when I ask you to borrow it, please help Dad."
"Impossible. What did I eat from childhood to adulthood? Even pigs ate better than me. I did the whole family's work by myself. You raised me until I was 18 and wanted to marry me off to a 50-year-old butcher. Then I married He Shiba and gave you 300 yuan to cut off all contact. I won't give you any more money."
"Ignorant bastard, everyone, please judge for yourself. I found her at the Nakanohara train station. She was feverish and alone. I saved her, but now that I'm rich, I don't recognize her anymore."
The crowd pointed at the woman one after another.
"The grace of an eighteen-year-old daughter-in-law is greater than heaven"
"How can you be so unfilial?"
"Eighteenth daughter-in-law, this is your fault. You should help your adoptive father now. After all, he raised you. Without him, you can't live."
Zhang Xiaojia desperately squeezed in and saw that the woman looked exactly like Aunt Leng. She also saw the jade pendant on the other girl's neck. It was a twin jade pendant, matching hers. She was so angry that she yelled, "You fucking bastard, get out of here!"
Zhang Xiaojia quickly walked in front of her, blocked her way, and cursed at the mother and daughter, "You f*cking human traffickers, how dare you bully my sister? Ping An, go report to the police, there are human traffickers here."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I saw her lying there at the train station out of pity, so I rescued her and brought her home to raise."
Zhang Xiaojia pulled the jade pendant off the daughter's neck and said, "Is this jade pendant yours? It belongs to my sister. My sister needs you to take care of her. Can't we afford it? Why don't you hand my sister over to the police at the train station? My sister was kidnapped, and the police have been notified. The entire police force in Zhongcheng Pingzhiyuan are looking for my sister. There are files to check."
The mother and daughter looked at Zhang Xiaojia's appearance, watch, leather shoes, and Dacron suit, and were scared to run away. It was strange that Zhang Xiaojia would let them leave. He walked up and directly took off their arms. Seeing them screaming, he took off his jaw.
Liu Mujiao patted Zhang Xiaojia's shoulder and whispered, "Are you my sister?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded affirmatively and said, "We are half-sisters."

"Let's not talk about this now," Zhang Xiaojia said fiercely with red eyes, "Why don't you go home and take the bus to your doorstep."
Liu Mujiao: "I don't remember. I have no memory before the age of 10."
Zhang Xiaojia took her pulse, feeling confused. After touching her Su Liao acupoint, he cursed He Shiba's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
After the police arrived, they took everyone to the police station. Zhang Xiaojia did not allow Liu Mujiao to speak.
Zhang Xiaojia took a deep breath and slowly recounted the story: "Leng Jiaojiao encountered a terrible incident when she was ten years old. At that time, she was captured by secret agents. The agents attempted to force Jiaojiao's grandfather to hand over the security map of Zhongcheng Pingzhiyuan, but Jiaojiao's grandfather and three others refused to yield and were eventually brutally murdered. This case caused a great sensation at the time and became a major case. The agents were successfully captured by the relevant departments within just 48 hours. But Jiaojiao disappeared.
After investigation, the comrades from the police station discovered that the spy had made an abnormal financial expenditure.
After interrogation, it was learned that the spy handed Sister Jiaojiao over to a couple who came to Nakajo Hirahara for medical treatment, and paid a large sum of money to ask them to take care of Sister Jiaojiao.
The public security departments throughout Zhongcheng Pingzhiyuan posted missing person notices and blocked traffic routes to the bus and train stations, but how did the couple leave with Sister Jiaojiao? These things are on file at the Zhongcheng Pingzhiyuan Police Station, and they can't be deceived.
The public security officer asked seriously, "How do you prove that Liu Mujiao is Leng Jiaojiao? After all, this is no small matter. We can't just believe your one-sided statement."
Zhang Xiaojia was not intimidated by the other party's questioning. She replied calmly: "First, you can look at her appearance. Sister Jiaojiao and Aunt Leng look exactly the same, as if they were carved from the same mold. Second, this jade pendant is also important evidence. I pulled this jade pendant off the neck of that woman's daughter because I recognized it. This jade pendant is a twin jade pendant, also known as a double phoenix jade pendant, carved for us by a master jade pendant master. Moreover, I have a similar jade pendant that can be combined with Sister Jiaojiao's." After saying this, Zhang Xiaojia took out her own jade pendant and showed it to the police comrades. Sure enough, the two jade pendants fit together perfectly, without any deviation.
The police officers exchanged glances, a flicker of surprise in their eyes. They had initially been skeptical of Zhang Xiaojia's words, but now, seeing the perfect fit of the jade pendant, they couldn't help but feel a bit more trust.
After all, this kind of coincidence is so rare. If it is not true, who would go to such great lengths to prepare such evidence?
"Okay, we'll contact the Nakajo Hirahara Police Station. You'll have to wait and see how the case develops."
On the other hand, it was discovered that Leng Jiaojiao appeared in the Liu family, and the Liu family suddenly had a sum of money.
They came out and saw He Jiu and his wife, He Shiba, Pangpang, and Ping'an.
He Shiba stepped forward and Zhang Xiaojia stood in front of her.
Zhang Xiaojia stared at him coldly and said, "He Shiba, stay away from my sister!"
"..." He Shiba laughed in anger.
"Get it clear, Liu Mujiao is my wife."
"Heh~ The person you're marrying is called Liu Mujiao, and later Leng Jiaojiao."
He Shiba asked coldly, "Liu Mujiao, what do you say?"
Zhang Xiaojia pretended to be a little white flower and said pitifully, "Sister, we have been looking for you for a long time, Dad, Grandpa Feng, your mother, don't you want him and not us?"
Leng Jiaojiao was in a dilemma, and Zhang Xiaojia immediately said, "Sister, I won't force you. As long as you are fine, we have nothing to do with each other."
"It's not Xiaojia, I want you guys." Leng Jiaojiao said anxiously.
He Jiu smiled and said, "No matter what, let's go home first, okay?"
"Okay, send us back to the He family." Zhang Xiaojia said directly.
He Jiu said directly, "Xiao Jia, it's too late today and there is no car. Even if you don't let He Shiba and his wife be together, you should let Jiaojiao carry the luggage, right?"
Zhang Xiaojia couldn't speak loudly, and he hurt himself internally.
Jiaojiao and He Shiba have been married for three years, and Jiaojiao is still a virgin. What's going on? Is this a Platonic relationship? Oh, no kidding. She can't control other people, but her sister can't. A sexless marriage won't be happy.
He Jiu's wife, Song Weijing, probably knew something. She stepped forward and said, "Jiaojiao, Xiaojia, and two other little kids are staying at our house. Stop chatting in the police station."
Zhang Xiaojia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Aunt Jiu is very reasonable, better than Uncle He Jiu."
After leaving the police station, I saw a woman riding a bicycle. She stopped and said to Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, no matter how badly your adoptive parents treat you, you can't send them to the police station. After all, they raised you, too, Brother Eighteen, don't you agree?"
Leng Jiaojiao bit her lip and looked at He Shiba. He Shiba frowned and said, "Li Mei, don't worry about this matter."
Li Mei ordered, "Jiaojiao, why are you so ignorant and making Brother Eighteen embarrassed? Go to the police station quickly and say you are wrong and release your adoptive parents."
After waiting for a long time, He Shiba didn't say anything, and He Jiu didn't speak up for Sister Jiaojiao. Only Song Weiqing kept silent with veins popping out on his forehead.
Zhang Xiaojia kept telling himself that he couldn't hit anyone, but he couldn't help it and kicked the bicycle out.
"Adoptive parents? Are they worthy? Who are you? He Shiba's lover? Uncle Shiba didn't follow the clan rules. He got married and attracted many women. A woman who doesn't know what she's talking about actually blames her own wife and won't defend her."
Ping An continued, "Sister, I will definitely tell Grandpa and Dad when I get back. Uncle Eighteen and Uncle Nine are really useless."
Fatty also said, "Uncle Eighteen is just like my father. I'll tell the elders about this as well."
Song Weiqing suddenly leaned on Zhang Xiaojia's shoulder and said, "Li Mei's father is Li Jianmin."
Zhang Xiaojia laughed. Her father had said that Li Jianmin didn't like his current wife and daughter at all, and only cared about his ex-wife's children. And his ex-wife's children were now his father's subordinates. Why? Her father didn't tell her, but just said that Li Jianmin's later wife had bad intentions.
Song Weiqing whispered in a voice that everyone could hear: "She and Shiba were classmates from junior high school to high school. They got married because your sister Jiaojiao suddenly ended up in He Shiba's bed."
Zhang Xiaojia was surprised for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "From the way you sound, it seems that both brothers think it's my sister's fault. Then let's get a divorce and give He Shiba freedom. They don't have children, so He Shiba doesn't have to wait until the child is sixteen. Sister Jiaojiao is not dead, so there's no need to wait ten years. Don't worry, no matter what my sister owes you, I will pay it back. Sister Jiaojiao, is that okay?"
Leng Jiaojiao was reluctant, but nodded.
He Shiba hurriedly said, "I don't agree, Liu Mujiao. You were desperate and desperately wanted to hold on to me. Now that you have a family, you want to abandon me? You're dreaming."
Zhang Xiaojia angrily grabbed Leng Jiaojiao's hand and pushed it in front of He Shiba, saying, "So what if you disagree? Do you know that every time you call Liu Mujiao, you are rubbing salt on my sister and our wounds? Look at my sister's hands, which are full of calluses and cracks, and then look at my hands, which are white and tender. My sister's hands can be the same as mine. My sister can grow up in pampering, have a mother who dotes on her, a grandfather who cherishes her, a sister who grew up with her, can graduate from high school, and have a job in the city, but the Liu family destroyed it. As long as you see my sister's hands, you will know the grievances my sister has suffered for so many years. Until now, the calluses and cracks on her hands have not healed, which shows that in this three-year marriage, you have never looked at my sister, nor cared about my sister. If you think my sister owes you, my father, Aunt Leng, and Grandpa Feng, I will pay it back for her together, but if you dare to bully my sister, I, Zhang Xiaojia, swear, I will never stop fighting with you, even if it means becoming an enemy of the He family."
Zhang Xiaojia said calmly, "Pangpang, Ping'an, let's go, let's go to the post office and call someone to pick me up."
He Jiu and the others didn't expect Zhang Xiaojia to be so angry and were stunned.
Li Mei actually stopped him and said, "Liu Mujiao, do you know that Brother Eighteen didn't get a promotion last time because of you? Brother Eighteen waited for three years, and now he finally gets another chance to move up, but you're going to make him throw it away."
He Shiba: "Li Mei, I told you not to worry about this matter."
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "Don't worry, He Shiba will definitely get a promotion this time."
Li Mei asked, "Why do you do that?"
"Your father will definitely help me."
Li Mei couldn't believe what she heard and sneered. Her father was a cold-hearted man who didn't care about anyone.
