Upon hearing this, Xia Wenhua's heart immediately pounded.
Didn't we already manage to get through the daytime situation? Why are we suddenly putting pressure on her again?
"Sister-in-law, why do you say that?"
Since they'd already asked, it didn't seem right to lie so bluntly, so Xia Wenhua's expression stiffened.
Seeing Xia Wenhua's expression, Sister Huang smiled knowingly.
“I knew something was wrong. Ningning said it was so difficult, many people couldn’t find it, not even top medical experts had it. How come Lao Ye and I could just get one and it worked? Something must be wrong.”
She was just curious, but seeing Xia Wenhua's predicament, Sister-in-law Huang reassured Xia Wenhua.
"Wenhua, don't worry. Since you said that ginseng was given to you by me and Lao Ye, this is the answer no matter who asks me about it in the future."
A couple of years ago, there were many peddlers. If we randomly picked up goods from a peddler, we couldn't find the seller again, so don't worry.
I never expected that after being exposed for lying, I would hear such words.
Xia Wenhua's gaze fell on Sister Huang, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Sister-in-law, you..."
Sister Huang waved her hand: "We get along like family, so let's not talk about these trivial things."
You clearly have a powerful background; in this situation, any wrong word could lead to serious trouble.
"Just tell me what's on my mind that will make things easier for you. I have impeccable revolutionary credentials, what am I afraid of?"
Xia Wenhua didn't live with the military dependents in the region for very long after she came here, and her unusual behavior went unnoticed, unlike back in Heilongjiang Province.
Sister Huang and Sister Ye spend almost every day with Xia Wenhua. She looks like a pampered young lady who doesn't know how to do many things and is reluctant to part with anything.
Both of them had their own judgment and weren't curious.
We're all just ordinary people, and life isn't easy for anyone. What does class background matter? Except for those who are truly obsessed, who in their right mind remembers these things every day?
Speaking of this, Sister Huang suddenly asked, "I remember you seemed to have a good relationship with one of the sales clerks at the town's supply and marketing cooperative. Could it be the one surnamed Chang?"
Xia Wenhua had brought things for Sister Huang and Sister Ye a few times, and the two of them had heard that Xia Wenhua had a good relationship with some sales clerk, but they hadn't been able to find out which one it was.
"Oh yeah, sister-in-law, how come you know Chang Yingying too?"
When she left, Chang Yingying sent Xia Wenhua the green fabric she had changed into. The two were in frequent contact at first.
Later, Xia Wenhua got busy with many things and couldn't take out any items from the Space Supermarket. There wasn't much she could exchange, so she even returned the last things Chang Yingying sent back.
Chang Yingying not only refused to accept the money, but also wrote a letter to Xia Wenhua saying that they were friends and there was no need for so much formality.
It just so happened that Yin Ning also worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, so Xia Wenhua even found some local specialties from Guangxi Province and sent them to Chang Yingying, but unfortunately she didn't receive a reply.
Before she could recover from her memories, Sister Huang patted her thigh.
"What? I wouldn't dare to know you. It's a good thing you came to Guangxi Province; if you had stayed in Heilongjiang Province, you might have been implicated!"
Sister-in-law Huang's expression was exaggerated, and Xia Wenhua seemed to understand what she was saying.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
There was clearly a deeper meaning in Huang's words, and Xia Wenhua understood a little of it, but at this moment she felt that she didn't want to understand.
When Chang Yingying was mentioned, Sister Huang clicked her tongue in amazement.
"Their family is incredibly wealthy; I heard they're the daughter of a department head. They're only staying in our town temporarily, but they brought a lot of things from home."
This family was said to be run by a wealthy landowner. The things they confiscated during the ransacking of their home were dazzling, causing quite a stir for a long time.
A house raid? Chang Yingying?
Having always lived in the military region, Xia Wenhua was far removed from the chaos outside.
She knows what kind of era we live in, but she doesn't personally experience much of it.
Hearing such unfamiliar words from Sister Huang's mouth, especially since she was talking about someone she used to know, Xia Wenhua felt a rare sense of absurdity.
She took a deep breath and cleared her mind.
"Sister-in-law, you said Chang Yingying's house was raided, why?"
Sister-in-law Huang suddenly remembered that Xia Wenhua and Chang Yingying knew each other, so she told Xia Wenhua about it.
Someone reported that Director Bai was embezzling funds, and everyone connected to her family was investigated.
Chang Yingying's husband not only divorced her immediately, but also reported that his home contained many bourgeois items that Chang Yingying had brought with her.
Originally, Father Chang had taken on all the burdens himself, but after this incident, the entire Chang family was unable to escape.
Recalling the tragic scene at the time, Sister Huang couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
"That man is ruthless. I heard he reported Chang Yingying's family, and he's still doing quite well. It's just a pity about your friend; his whole family was sent to a farm."
Sister-in-law Huang suddenly brought up Chang Yingying, intending to give Xia Wenhua a reminder.
"Chang Yingying's matter has become quite serious. Everyone connected to her has been investigated. Wenhua, you absolutely must not write any more letters to her."
Xia Wenhua nodded and thanked Sister Huang for her kindness.
Recalling Chang Yingying, who had a bright smile and would often boast about how loving she and her partner were, Xia Wenhua felt a tightness in her chest.
She sighed, suppressing her turbulent thoughts.
Before leaving, she asked again, "Sister-in-law, where did Chang Yingying go in the end?"
Sister-in-law Huang was just gossiping; she didn't know Chang Yingying personally, so she didn't have any complicated feelings for Xia Wenhua.
This incident caused quite a stir in the town, and many military wives went to see it. Sister Huang was also aware of it.
She thought for a moment and actually gave Xia Wenhua an answer: "It seems there's a place here called Qiufeng Farm."
Xia Wenhua memorized Qiufeng Farm, intending to inquire about it later.
Xia Wenhua found it absurd that someone she knew well was sent to a farm simply because his family was wealthy, but she also kept reminding herself not to get carried away.
When she got home that evening, she shared her feelings with Pei Songbai.
Pei Songbai frowned when he heard the place she mentioned: "Wait a minute, where did you say your friend was sent?"
"Qiufeng Farm? What's wrong with it? You know about it?" Xia Wenhua only remembered the place; she wasn't familiar with Guangxi Province and had never heard of it before.
Pei Songbai's lips twitched; he could hardly believe such a coincidence actually existed.
After a long silence, he coughed and said, "Qiufeng Farm is the closest labor reform farm to Anshi. Qiu Chenggong was also sent there."
His answer surprised Xia Wenhua. The two looked at each other and remained silent for a moment.
