Chapter 268: Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots, Carrying the Coffin Back to the City
The weather was already a bit hot at this time, but it was actually not that bad at night.
Bai Xuesong came out of the room and walked towards the depths of the courtyard.
The moonlight fell on the branches in the courtyard, and most of the light was blocked by the branches, making it gray.
Just like Bai Xuesong’s current mood.
However, what the old man said was absolutely right. Chuxia had passed away for eleven years. There was nothing he could do and nothing he could do to save the situation.
Regret is regret, sadness is real sadness, but life must go on.
Chuxia only has Su Niannian as her only child, and she should fulfill her responsibilities as a parent on behalf of Chuxia.
Su Niannian's damn father is useless.
Since that useless father is a waste, I will take care of Su Niannian from now on.
The cause of Chuxia's death also needs to be thoroughly investigated.
Even if the person is dead, we still need to find out what happened.
If the cause of death was suspicious, or if he knew who killed his daughter, Bai Xuesong swore that he would take revenge and repay grievances.
The most important thing now is to find a way to get Su Niannian to his side.
Also, didn’t that old guy say he wanted to transfer Gu Nan back?
He has to hurry up and do it.
Bai Xuesong sat alone on a stone chair in the courtyard, tapping the stone table lightly with his fingers.
I don’t know how much time passed until Bai Xuesong came to his senses when he felt someone hit him on the back.
"Old man, you... eh, you came out to enjoy the cool air without calling me, that's not very nice of you." While speaking, Lu Huaqiang burped.
"If you hit me again, you're done for by me!" Bai Xuesong rolled his eyes at Lu Huaqiang in annoyance.
Lu Huaqiang narrowed his eyes. Now his old friend seemed to be in a different state than before.
Is this what I have come to realize?
With a smile on his face, Lu Huaqiang sat down on the chair next to Bai Xuesong.
This stone chair has no backrest and it hurts my butt. It's not comfortable at all.
Lu Huaqiang kicked Bai Xuesong.
"It's all right if you think it through, it's all right if you think it through!"
"Are you sober now? I want to discuss something with you." Bai Xuesong didn't bother to care whether Lu Huaqiang kicked his leg or not, and spoke with a serious expression.
Seeing that his old friend had something to say to him, Lu Huaqiang stopped making trouble.
"Don't you have any idea of my drinking capacity?"
Hearing this, Bai Xuesong told Lu Huaqiang about his plan to bring Su Niannian back to his side.
He also asked Lu Huaqiang when Gu Nan could be transferred back.
Lu Huaqiang and Bai Xuesong started discussing on the stone bench in the yard.
Su Niannian, who was far away in Kaoshan Village, had no idea that her grandfather had already investigated her identity.
He also learned that his mother had passed away eleven years ago.
At this time, Su Niannian and Gu Nan were hugging each other sweetly in the room.
The two went out again in the afternoon. Originally, Su Niannian wanted to go and see how Song Zhaodi and Li Ergou got along.
As a result, I saw Jiang Aiguo halfway through the journey.
Jiang Aiguo had just returned from signing the documents for the Youth Going to the Countryside Office in the county town.
It was Zhou Daniu who took him there in a tractor.
Just then, Jiang Aiguo saw Gu Nan and Su Niannian not long after he got off the tractor.
Seeing that Jiang Aiguo looked unhappy, Su Niannian took the initiative to go over and say hello.
Only then did they realize that it was Zhao Sulan's family who had come to take back Zhao Sulan's body.
Jiang Aiguo said that the news of Zhao Sulan's death was only reached back to her hometown a few days ago.
When Zhao Sulan's parents found out, they couldn't believe it.
Why does such a good kid get married just by moving to the countryside? How could someone get killed after getting married?
After the grief, the family decided to come to Kaoshan Village and bring Zhao Sulan's body back to their hometown for burial.
In China, there has always been a custom of returning to one's roots. Although the daughter is married, I heard that she cut off her husband's penis before she died. I'm afraid her husband's family will not bury their daughter properly.
Zhao Sulan's mother cried and said to her husband: "Sulan is my child, born after ten months of pregnancy. Even if she dies, I will take her home."
Zhao Sulan's father was also very sad, even though this trip would cost a lot of money. But this is the only thing I can do for my child.
They could not accept that their own flesh and blood had died in a remote village, but even if he was dead, they had to take him back to their side. They could not let their child sleep in an unclear and unfamiliar place.
He agreed with his wife's words, and together with Zhao Sulan's two brothers, the whole family set off for Kaoshan Village to retrieve the child's body.
If Zhao Sulan had not done so many wrong things, she would probably have lived a pretty good life when she returned to the city.
Unfortunately, one wrong step leads to all wrong.
When the body was claimed, it had swollen and smelled because of the long time. Zhao Sulan's parents and brothers cried uncontrollably, and Jiang Aiguo was also heartbroken when they saw this.
Originally, Lu Xingguang should have been the one to claim the body, but Lu Xingguang hated Zhao Sulan to death and didn't care what happened to Zhao Sulan's body.
In addition, Lu Xingguang is now stupid and crazy, which is why he let Jiang Aiguo go over there. It can be regarded as a testimony.
Jiang Aiguo felt uncomfortable when he spoke.
Judging from Zhao Sulan's parents, Zhao Sulan did not suffer much at home.
Unlike some families who treat their daughters very harshly.
"Oh, it's such a pity that Zhao Zhiqing died when he was less than 20 years old." Jiang Aiguo said with some regret.
Su Niannian just smiled. Whether it was a pity or not was a matter of opinion.
No one has ever forced Zhao Sulan to do anything. Everything is Zhao Sulan's own choice.
It is understandable that she should bear the consequences of her own decisions and choices.
As for Zhao Sulan's parents losing their child, although it is a pity, they cannot blame anyone.
Everything has its own consequences, it’s just the cycle of cause and effect.
Su Niannian comforted Jiang Aiguo with a few words, asking him to be more open-minded. After all, everyone has their own destiny, and then she took Gu Nan away.
Because they were delayed here for some time, when Su Niannian and Gu Nan arrived at the sorghum field, they no longer saw Song Zhaodi and Li Ergou.
"I don't know if the relationship between these two has warmed up." Su Niannian whispered while holding Gu Nan's hand.
Gu Nan just smiled and said nothing.
He doesn't care about other people's emotional problems. He just wants his girl to be happy.
In the evening, there was another night of love. The next morning, when Su Niannian got up, Gu Nan and Gu's mother had already prepared breakfast.
It must be said that Mother Gu still feels very sorry for Su Niannian.
