Liu Chun stopped talking and bit her lip.

No matter what they said or scolded her, she didn't say a word.

Liang Zhiqiu was furious.

"You won't tell me, right? Well, then go to jail. I'll see how tough you are."

Liu Chun suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them desperately.

"Sir, Madam, I am so sorry for you. I can only repay you by working like a slave for the rest of my life."

No matter how she was pressed, she ended up saying nothing.

Yun Runtong and Liang Zhiqiu were also tired and stopped forcing it.

Yun Runtong arranged for a guard to report the case, and another guard drove them back to Xujiatun.

Gu Qinghuan went to Chen Fengqin's home to pick up the two children. The two had already eaten there, so Gu Qinghuan had to thank them quickly.

Chen Fengqin originally wanted to ask about Xu Huaian, but seeing that Gu Qinghuan looked unhappy, she did not dare to ask more.

What happened this afternoon has spread throughout Xujiatun. Everyone says that Xu Huaian's biological mother is a famous figure and they will be very successful in the future.

Chen Fengqin was worried about what would happen to the soap factory if Gu Qinghuan left Xujiatun.

Without her help, I always feel backboneless, but people go to high places and water flows to low places, and she can't stop them.

Alas! Xu Mingshan is such a troublemaker.

On the way home, the two children would secretly glance at Gu Qinghuan's expression from time to time.

"Mom, they say that Dad is not grandpa and grandma's biological child. Is that true?" Beibei asked naively while holding Gu Qinghuan's hand.

"Well, that's not true. You are not worthy of being your father's parents. The grandpa and grandma who came to our house this afternoon are your real grandpa and grandma. Remember to take care of them when you go back."

Hearing this, 꺶宝 also smiled.

We don't like our previous grandparents, and we don't like our dad or them either.

As soon as the mother and her two children returned to the courtyard, Yun Runtong and Liang Zhiqiu came out to greet them.

"Are these the two children? They are so beautiful. Qinghuan, you have worked hard." Liang Zhiqiu knew the backgrounds of these two children. He was interested but did not say much. He just warmly pulled the two of them into his arms, looked them over, and gave them red envelopes.

Yun Runtong looked at the two children, thinking about their life experiences, and couldn't help but sigh.

They are all poor people. No wonder Huai'an would adopt them.

Gu Qinghuan and the others were chatting happily, and they quickly went into the kitchen to cook.

My parents-in-law have been here for such a long time, but they haven’t had a sip of water yet.

Time was running out and there was no time to cook, so Gu Qinghuan simply made a dish of scrambled eggs with cucumber and black fungus, a dish of braised eggplant in oil, and a dish of shredded potatoes.

The staple food is steamed buns in the morning.

Liang Zhiqiu came in to help, and Gu Qinghuan was too embarrassed to ask her mother-in-law to do the work, so she asked her to help shred potatoes. In the end, not only did she shred potatoes, she almost broke her hand.

Well, humans are not meant to do that kind of work, so you better do it yourself!

Liang Zhiqiu was extremely embarrassed. It was the first time he met his daughter-in-law and he wanted to leave a good impression, but it turned out that she couldn't do anything. It was so embarrassing.

"Well, I used to ask the nanny to cook for me, and I cooked directly in the wok, so the dishes... weren't very good." Liang Zhiqiu explained awkwardly.

"It's okay. You're a doctor and your hands are used to save lives. They are precious, so it's better for you to stay out of the kitchen." Gu Qinghuan tried to smooth things over for her.

Since there were potato chunks available, Gu Qinghuan simply fried them until they were crispy, then picked them up and mixed them together. They tasted like the wolf potatoes sold at the market.

About half an hour later, the meal was served.

Liang Zhiqiu was very supportive: "Qinghuan, you are so capable. You can tell it's delicious just by smelling it."

After running for an entire afternoon, Yun Runtong was already hungry, but he had been trying not to be hungry. Just now, when Gu Qinghuan was cooking, he smelled the fragrance coming from inside, and he managed to resist the urge to look.

Gu Qinghuan set the table and invited the guests to start eating.

Even though they were very hungry, everyone waited for her to pick up the first chopstick before starting to eat. This is basic etiquette.

Yunrun ate the food with chopsticks and took a bite of steamed bun, and her stomach felt better instantly.

This girl is good at cooking, much better than my wife. Huai'an is really a man who will be blessed in the future if he survives a disaster.

Everyone was hungry, so they ate all the food with steamed buns.

Gu Qinghuan vacated the room next door where the two children slept and gave it to Yun Runtong and his wife, and slept there herself with the two children.

As for the guard, he had no choice but to sleep in the car.

The next morning, Gu Qinghuan was making breakfast when the guard who had reported the case suddenly came back with the police.

"Chief, something happened!"

"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression, Yun Runtong's heart tightened.

"Liu Chun... hanged himself last night!"

The washbasin in Liang Zhiqiu's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"Dead?"

Although they hated her to death, they never thought of killing her.

At this critical moment, she actually committed suicide?

Why?

Is it because we pushed her too far yesterday?

The doubts in Yun Runtong's heart were infinitely released.

"Are you sure she committed suicide?"

"The police officer who went with me has checked and basically ruled out murder."

"Okay, you've worked hard."

It is not difficult to understand Liu Chun's choice to commit suicide. Compared with being arrested and imprisoned at an old age and suffering, it is better to die and put an end to it all.

But the incident of that year was kept secret and no one knew the reason.

Yun Run and his wife were satisfied that they could get their child back, and the matter ended there.

The police took Xu Mingshan and Liu Guifang away and asked them about the situation back then.

These two had already colluded with each other in their confessions in advance. No matter how the police interrogated them separately, they insisted that they did not know that Xu Huaian was an abducted child. The police could not do anything about them either, because Liu Chun was already dead and there was no evidence to prove his innocence.

In the end, he was detained for a few days.

As for Liu Chun's matter, Yun Runtong and Liang Zhiqiu met with the Zhong family, expressed their gratitude, and reminded them to prepare to return to Beijing, so they returned to Beijing first.

Yun Runtong had just been transferred back to the Beijing Military Region, and he had many things to do and was unable to control himself.

They had originally planned to bring Gu Qinghuan and their two children back to Beijing for a family reunion.

Gu Qinghuan refused. Xu Jiatun still had a lot of things to deal with, and the school work also needed time to hand over.

The children were about to reach the end of the semester, and she wanted to wait until they finished their classes and not give up halfway. Also, the environment here was more suitable for her to study behind closed doors. If she returned to Beijing, there would be a lot of things to do.

Therefore, she wanted to wait until the Zhong family was rehabilitated before considering returning to the capital.

However, Gu Qinghuan asked them to help and brought a lot of food to Xu Huai'an, including beef jerky, cold rabbit, pork jerky, etc. that she made.

The Yun couple also respected her opinion. They wanted to remind her to take care of herself and wanted Xu Mingshan to retaliate, but when they thought of her fierce fighting ability, they felt that there was no need to say more.

Gu Qinghuan cherishes these last quiet days.

In fact, the two years she spent in Xujiatun were a period of peace that she had never experienced in her entire life. She lived a simple life without stress.

Returning to Beijing would mean that all this peace would be far away from her.

Where there are people, there are troubles.

Xu Jiatun welcomed the triennial election.

Xu Mingshan had already lost the initiative, and because of the previous case, he was criticized by the media and was directly kicked out of the candidate list.

Because Xu Huainian took the lead in building the factory, fought for the welfare of the family, and was straightforward, he was finally elected as the new Secretary with a unanimous vote.

I never thought that the cake that Gu Qinghuan had drawn for me would actually come true.

Xu Huainian was extremely popular for a while and was in great demand. Those old ladies who had previously flattered Liu Guifang ran to curry favor with Chen Fengqin like crazy.

Chen Fengqin is the director of the Women's Department, and she is not someone who can be corrupted easily.

Some people are destined to return empty-handed.

Some people also beat the fallen dog, threw feces at Xu Mingshan's house, spit at them, and cursed them very badly.

Especially those who had suffered at the hands of Xu Mingshan in the past have now stood up.

Saying that Xu Mingshan ate more and took more is the style of a landlord. The two of them lived in such a big house, which was originally taken from the collective and must be returned to the collective.

They also said that Liu Guifang's refusal to participate in labor was a capitalist behavior.

Someone also broke into Xu's house in the middle of the night and stole Liu Guifang's granary. Just as Gu Qinghuan said, the granary was full of food.

Xu Mingshan could only swallow this stupid loss.

Who said that things change over time? You will have to pay for what you have done.

Xu Meiling was also fired from her job as a scorekeeper because her father could no longer support her.

With her half-hearted work attitude, not criticizing her would be the least of her worries.

Lin Xiaomeng's family was also affected, but not as severely as Xu Mingshan. She took Xiaocheng and simply hid from school and did not come back, regardless of the wind.

If Lin Xiaomeng doesn't come back, Yan Lijun will definitely not come back. She is now used to bringing her children to work. As long as it doesn't delay work, the leaders understand, and the children are well behaved.

She worked hard to earn money and provided her with good food and drink. Now she has grown up to be no different from a normal child.

Gu Qinghuan watched this coldly, and suddenly felt that this was also good, although the law did not punish Xu Mingshan.

But where the human heart is, there are sharp blades everywhere.

Taking away what we want little by little.

Dignity! Reputation! Status! Money!

All taken away.

The best way to get revenge on someone is to take away what they care about most.

The heat of Xu Mingshan’s incident has not yet died down, and suddenly there was a rumor in the village that the college entrance examination would be resumed!

For a while, all the young people with a little education were attracted to it.

The educated youth center was even more excited, with everyone clamoring to take the college entrance examination.

Zhu Chunlin and Lin Shengnan also want to take the exam.

I used to think there was no hope and I had to take root here.

Now that we have the chance, we must try to take our children away from the countryside and return to the city.

In addition, Qiu Shuxia also wanted to take the exam, which Gu Qinghuan had not thought of. How could Qian Caihua agree to it? Wasn't she afraid that her daughter-in-law would run away after passing the exam?

Jiang Xue and her husband Hao Zhigao were also preparing for the exam. They were both teachers and had a good foundation.

As for Chen Jianghe, he needs to be tested even more. In fact, the news came from here.

놛's parents at least had some connections, and they knew in advance that the college entrance examination might be resumed, so they sent me a letter to encourage me to study hard.
