Chapter 372 1977
After the New Year, 1977 arrived.
Chen Tang followed his parents to the Zhou family to pay New Year's greetings and met Chen Ping on the way.
Chen Ping seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time, and suddenly stopped their car. Father Chen was so scared that he slammed on the brakes, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was fine.
The snow on the road had been cleared, and although Chen Ping was wearing bulky clothes, there were traces of snow on her hair and shoulders.
She raised her head, and her old face came into view.
Chen Ping knelt down with a plop, and shouted excitedly with tears in her eyes: "Brother, please help me, I beg you."
Father Shen sighed, opened the door, walked down and helped Shen Ping up.
Seeing her in such a miserable state, I knew she lived a hard life.
His father is different from Uncle He. Uncle He would never be willing to punish his beloved son, but his father could be so cruel as to say that he would not care about Chen Ping.
Chen Ping was at a loss.
Her second brother has not yet been transferred back to Beijing, and there is no one she wants to discuss it with. Her son abandoned her and took away all his property to go to the countryside, but not long after he went there, he wrote back saying that life was too hard and wanted her to help him use his connections to get him back.
How does she relate?
Since the Shen family stopped caring about her, people outside no longer praised her, and she lost her job because her husband was imprisoned. If it weren't for her daughter, she might not even be able to survive.
After her daughter got into trouble, she called her second brother, Shen Yue, who told her that he had no way to help her, and the only option now was to ask her eldest brother for help.
The old man had been strict with the three of them since they were young, and the three siblings had a good relationship when they were young. However, after they grew up, they understood the distance between relatives and strangers. In addition, her children had been bullying Shen Mu's daughter behind her back, which made Shen Mu's relationship with them gradually drift apart.
Shen Yue has some respect for Shen Mu.
After all, Mr. Shen only has two sons, and he taught them to be united in everything. Even if there is occasional competition and friction in their relationship, they always unite to face the outside world when it comes to major issues.
Chen Yue also understood Chen Mu. He had a cold face but a kind heart. Chen Ping had made herself a little embarrassed and sincerely repented. Even if he couldn't get him out of jail, at least he could prevent Liang Jiyu from being sent to a remote area.
Chen Tang couldn't help but pout when he saw his father soften his heart.
Her memory has slowly returned these days. Although she hasn't remembered everything yet, she feels disgusted with Chen Ping from the bottom of her heart and knows that this person must have done something to let them down.
Zhou's mother saw this and gently held her hand: "Don't worry, your father is not the kind of person who will be soft-hearted after kneeling down."
Besides, Liang Jiyu did cheat on her husband. Her job was given to her by her husband's father. Now she cheated on her husband behind the factory director's son's back. No matter how serious the matter is or whether it has caused serious consequences, she will definitely be demoted.
Chen Mu was not a person who would abuse his power for personal gain. At most, he would do something to prevent Liang Jiyu from being sent to farms in desolate areas.
As for Chen Ping, her family had never done anything to her. The reason she lived like this was because Chen Ping had poor vision and insisted on marrying the man named Liang.
Who didn't advise her back then?
But the more they persuaded her, the more she wanted to get married.
Chen Ping's face turned pale with coldness. When she saw him get off the car, her eyes turned red in an instant, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Brother, please save Ji Yu. I beg you. The son of the glass factory looks ugly. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't marry him.
For so many years, she not only had to be scolded by her family, but also beaten by them. She was a girl who was held in my hands since she was a child. She had learned everything, including cooking, cleaning, and taking care of children and the elderly.
The Wang family didn't treat her as a human being at all. She really couldn't live anymore and had no hope, so she cheated with her colleague even though he was nice to her. But this was not what she wanted. If the Wang family weren't such inhumane people, she wouldn't even look at that male colleague.
She was such a proud person. She couldn't get a divorce or run away. Day and night, she was either beaten or scolded. She cried so hard at the beginning, but later she became numb. I tried every way to beg my father for help, but he never saw me.
I really know I was wrong.”
She really felt that her father was heartless towards his granddaughter Liang Jiyu.
But think about it, if Liang Jiyu and Liang Jifeng had not bullied Shen Tang since childhood, and even pushed Shen Tang down the stairs, causing Shen Tang to live alone and helpless in the other world for more than ten years, Mr. Shen would not really ignore her.
Mother Zhou held Chen Tang's hand tightly. During those years, she kept saying like a madman that it was not her daughter, but no one was willing to believe her. Even Father Chen thought she was just too afraid of losing her daughter.
Now that she thinks about it, she was able to notice something unusual. Grandpa Shen, an old man who had been shrewd for half his life, had held Shen Tang in his hands and loved her since she was a child, and always took his little granddaughter with him wherever he went. How could he not have noticed something unusual?
Since then, although Mr. Shen said nothing, he never stopped her from praying to God.
It was not until the policy came down from above that she was awakened by Mr. Shen’s scolding.
She still remembered what the Taoist said, that she didn't need to worry too much about past and present lives, that two people were actually one person, and to love "her" was to love her.
It was because of this sentence that the Shen family began to accept the girl.
Mother Zhou looked at Chen Tang and gently adjusted her collar.
How can they be the same?
She doesn't care about past or present life, she only wants the one she gave birth to.
Shen Tang noticed his mother's gentleness and hugged her arm and acted coquettishly: "Hehe, it's great to have a mother."
Zhou's mother said something asking for a beating, but her eyes were full of smiles: "You are such a grown-up, but you still act like a spoiled child. Isn't it that little Atang will learn from you?"
He Zhi, who was lying on the window porch and playing with snow out of boredom, turned around and smiled adorably after hearing this, then threw himself into Chen Tang's arms coquettishly, really imitating him.
Outside the window, Shen Mu was still talking to Shen Ping. Shen Ping wanted Shen Mu to get her daughter out.
But Chen Mu was not a person who abused his power for personal gain, so he could only comfort her by saying that he would try to relocate the person to a farm in the military district outside Kyoto. This was the only thing that he, as her uncle, could do for her.
After all, although the revolution has ended and new policies have replaced old ones, Liang Jiyu will definitely pay the price for doing such a thing before the new policies are fully implemented.
Chen Ping knew that this was already the best outcome, and asking for more would violate her eldest brother's bottom line.
But there was one thing that she couldn't let go of: "Brother, the Wang family is corrupt and taking bribes, abusing their power for personal gain. Can we let someone from the Shen family investigate?"
Otherwise, she was afraid that even if her daughter was released, she would still be retaliated by the Wang family.
As for her two grandchildren, she no longer thought about them.
The two grandsons had been corrupted by the Wang family. They would insult their grandmother at every turn and treated her daughter like a servant.
It’s better to stay in the Wang family.
"I don't have many connections in the officialdom. I will go back and tell Dad about this and ask him if he can help you."
He still felt a little uncomfortable with Shen Ping. In the past, Shen Ping bullied his wife and children, and he couldn't get over it.
But he also knew that Chen Ping came to him for help. Given his father's requirement for family harmony, it would be fine if he didn't help, but he deliberately concealed the truth, which would make his father disappointed in him.
As for whether Dad will help.
He thought probably.
The existence of the Wang family is to teach Liang Jiyu a lesson. Now that Liang Jiyu has been demoted, the Wang family is naturally useless.
