Those two figures were the old couple Jiang Jun had seen at the entrance of the sanatorium!
Jiang Jun frowned. They were still here, waiting for her? They had been waiting here all this time? Or were they locals?
She suddenly realized that she had not paid attention to the old man's accent, she just remembered that she understood everything.
She calmly pulled Lin Ruifang and slowly approached the old couple.
Tang Qingsong followed them for a few steps and stopped them: "Deputy Team Leader Jiang, you're turning this way. There's a lunatic over there, and I'm afraid he'll scare you."
Jiang Jun stopped and looked directly at the two elderly people cuddling together under the tree. "Is that them?"
Tang Qingsong waved his hand towards them, as if to send them away. "Alas, he's a psychopath. He just sits there in a daze all day long, and whenever he sees someone passing by, he asks them to redress his son's grievances!"
Jiang Jun pretended to ask casually, "What injustice did his son suffer?"
Tang Qingsong said, "Well, what injustice is there? Their son committed suicide by jumping into the lake, and his daughter-in-law ran off with their granddaughter. The old couple insisted that their son was tortured to death. They wanted to redress their son's injustice so that they could find their granddaughter. But after hearing that their daughter-in-law ran away, they abandoned their granddaughter to someone else's family and no one knew where she went."
Lin Ruifang had shallow eye sockets, and just hearing what Tang Qingsong said was a bit unbearable: "How old is that granddaughter?"
Tang Qingsong shook his head: "I haven't seen it. I heard that he was three or four years old before. It's been several years now. He must be seven or eight years old now."
Lin Ruifang tugged at Jiang Yun's arm and said, "Xiao Jiang, let's go over and take a look."
Jiang Jun stood still, holding Lin Ruifang's hand, and nodded slightly, stopping Lin Ruifang from going over: "Sister Lin!"
Their current identity is to represent the unit, and their words and actions will be magnified and speculated by people around them. They must be more cautious when interacting with people outside the investigation unit.
Lin Ruifang couldn't bear to walk away like that, so she asked, "Chief Tang, why did his son jump into the lake?"
The word "suicide" was stuck in Lin Ruifang's throat and she couldn't say it out.
Tang Qingsong sighed deeply. "These old bastards, just because they know a few more words and have read a few more books than others, think they are amazing. In fact, they have no skills at all. They can't even lift a hoe to farm or a bucket to grow vegetables. They are always dissatisfied with this and that, and their hearts are very small. If someone says a few words to them, they will lose their temper and commit suicide by jumping into a lake in the middle of winter. Before he died, he wrote a letter saying that he was wronged."
Jiang Jun turned to look at Tang Qingsong. "Chief Tang, are you familiar with all this? Have you seen the letter they have?"
Tang Qingsong nodded, his shoulders shaking. "I've heard this many times. It's not the first day they've been here. I think a lot of people around here know about this."
Jiang Jun: "Who are they seeking redress for this? Where did his son work?"
Judging from the fact that they waited at the door of the nursing home last time to find her, the appearance of this old couple seemed like someone was tipping them off.
Perhaps, this time these two old people are sitting here waiting for her?
Otherwise, if she was really crazy, Tang Qingsong, as the head of the security department, should have cleared the area for her early. If he didn't drive the two elderly people away, he should have taken her to another direction early.
The point is, the last time she came, Tang Qingsong didn't speak so freely and easily, and he even stumbled when answering questions in the director's office.
At this moment, it was as if he was reporting his own resume, describing the whole story of the old couple clearly and concisely!
It sounds like criticizing the old man's son, but in fact it is drawing people's attention to the old man's son.
So, did the old couple come here after receiving a tip-off? Or were they deliberately placed here by Director Geng, Tang Qingsong, or someone else?
Tang Qingsong coughed and grunted, "Well... well... uh..."
Jiang Jun turned and walked in the other direction: "Sister Lin, let's go over there and then go back."
He hesitated, said half of the words, and then stopped talking when he should have said them. Is he trying to play hard to get?
Who taught you?
Not taught yet!
Lin Ruifang seemed to be nailed to the ground, waiting for Tang Qingsong's answer.
The little granddaughter's experience was so heartbreaking. She was taken away by her biological mother and then placed in foster care. I don't know if she was really fostered or taken in by someone out of kindness, or if she simply wandered around without anyone to take her in. She has not returned to her grandparents yet...
There are countless ways for a young life to be destroyed, which is terrifying to think about.
I feel uncomfortable if I don’t hear the answer.
I know that hearing the answer might make me feel worse, but I still don’t want to leave without hearing it.
It's uncomfortable anyway. It's better to stick a knife in your heart than to wait in fear for it to fall.
"Yes, it's his daughter-in-law. She used to be a grassroots employee in our unit," Tang Qingsong said through gritted teeth. "They had a quarrel, and the man is the one who can't get over it! So they came to look for the director of our unit!"
Lin Ruifang asked in a lost voice, "Can a woman actually force a man to death? What did you say?"
In the 1970s and before, in most parts of the country, the status of women was still not high, and they were often beaten and bullied at home. Those who could fight were definitely women who had jobs and had received a high-level education.
Some couples work in the same factory, and when they have conflicts, they each take sides and start arguing with each other, accusing each other of wrongdoing.
It is unheard of that a wife can force her husband to commit suicide.
Tang Qingsong was also filled with anger: "We didn't hear what they said. The child was there when they were arguing, but now the child is nowhere to be found. Uncle Jiang only found a letter."
Lin Ruifang exclaimed: "Also surnamed Jiang?"
Jiang Jun glared at Lin Ruifang lightly. It was not appropriate to mention the fact that they were family members with the same surname in this occasion!
Originally, Jiang Yun had made up her mind to ignore this matter, but the experience of Uncle Jiang's son reminded her of Jiang Yonghua and Zhang Xiuying.
If Zhang Xiuying had a little bit of education, started working a few years earlier, and was deeply influenced by the Cultural Reform Movement, she could have forced Jiang Yonghua to death and even beaten her to death.
As expected, Tolstoy was right: happy families are all alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
Now that she had heard this story, she decided to ask a few more questions: "Chief Tang, your unit didn't handle it?"
Tang Qingsong stuttered again: "Alas, the person in charge said that everyone has run away and can't be found. Wait, wait until someone comes back."
Not being able to find anyone is the best excuse!
At the beginning, some people said with certainty that they heard them arguing about something. Later, no one mentioned it anymore. Even if they did, there were many different opinions. There were more and more stories about what Uncle Jiang's son and daughter-in-law argued about.
