Ye Changxing hurriedly said:
"I received a letter today that accused my aunt in Changle of being the daughter of a big capitalist and said she should be criticized."
Bai Xiaoyue's smile froze, and she hurriedly asked:
"What evidence do you have?"
Ye Changxing shook his head:
"No evidence was mentioned, but the letter did say that her mother, Wen Xiya, was a capitalist's concubine and lived in the Hongxing Production Brigade."
Bai Xiaoyue's expression changed drastically, and she swayed. Yan Ci quickly helped her sit down.
Yan Ci asked Ye Changxing, "What do you usually do when you receive a letter of denunciation?"
Ye Changxing said, "If no one sees it, I can destroy it secretly."
Unfortunately, our Director Zeng saw the letter of complaint and said he'll be here tomorrow.
Yan Ci then asked, "Director Zeng, is it that Zeng Daming?"
Ye Changxing nodded: "Yes, it's him."
Yan Ci nodded and said, "Changxing, thank you for telling us."
He then said to Chang Le, "Chang Le, take your younger brother and get some food for your older brother."
After Chang Le took Ye Changxing out, Yan Ci sighed while holding Bai Xiaoyue:
"Honey, calm down. We don't have much time. Let's think of a plan!"
Bai Xiaoyue slapped her forehead hard, and Yan Ci took her hand and said to her:
"Go tell Wen Tong and Wen An, and see what they think."
The two hurriedly went to Bai Wen'an's house.
After entering the house, Bai Xiaoyue did not see Wen Xiya and Rui Rui.
She didn't hide anything and spoke directly to Bai Wen'an and Wen Tong:
"Wen Tong has been reported for being the daughter of a capitalist, and Aunt Wen is the concubine of a capitalist."
Wen Tong turned pale and stood there dumbfounded.
Bai Wen'an held Wen Tong's hand and said:
"Honey, don't panic."
Bai Xiaoyue was extremely flustered, but she still had to comfort her sister-in-law:
"Wen Tong, don't panic. You and Aunt Wen have been here for several years. Even though there was such a big fight a couple of years ago, you two were fine."
We were suddenly reported today. Let's find out why. Do you have any clues?
Wen Tong thought about it over and over again for a long time. No one here knew her background, including her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Who could possibly know all this so clearly?
She went through her recent life in her mind again, then slapped her forehead and said in a panic:
"It might be that Li Xinru, the educated youth. She came from Beijing, and her home is not far from mine, so she is familiar with my family's situation."
A couple of days ago, she stopped me and kept calling me Xiang Tong, but I didn't acknowledge her.
I thought it was a small matter, so I didn't tell you.
Bai Xiaoyue didn't know what to say. This was a small matter, but what was a big matter?
The little flower in the greenhouse has no sense of caution at all. Even though her father has been sent to the countryside, she's still so carefree.
The room fell silent immediately.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Wen Tong lowered her head and said:
"I was wrong, I should have told you sooner."
Bai Wen'an patted his wife on the shoulder to comfort her:
"That educated youth Li reported you as soon as she arrived. Does she have a grudge against your family?"
Wen Tong shook her head: "I don't know, probably not. Her father used to work in our family's factory."
Bai Xiaoyue said to Wen An and Wen Tong:
"It's too late to investigate these things now. Let's think about what to do when the Revolutionary Committee comes tomorrow."
Wen Tong said pitifully:
"Isn't a letter severing ties with my spouse enough?"
Bai Xiaoyue asked her, "What about Aunt Wen?"
Wen Tong suddenly stood up: "Then I'll go ask my dad and see if he has any ideas."
She rushed out the door after she finished speaking, and Bai Wen'an quickly followed her.
Bai Xiaoyue asked Yan Ci, "Aci, will they be able to escape this calamity tomorrow?"
Yan Ci knew his wife was panicked; she had been on guard, fearing the turmoil would affect the Bai family.
Upon hearing this news, my fear reached its peak.
Yan Ci recalled how his wife was scared and upset when she first found out she was pregnant, and how she made him carry her around the yard.
He squatted down and said to Bai Xiaoyue, "Wife, let me carry you around a few times."
Bai Xiaoyue climbed onto Yan Ci's back and let him carry her home.
Yan Ci carried his wife on his back and walked around in circles in his own yard.
Until she said, "Aci, I'm alright."
After entering the house, Yan Ci put his wife down, hugged her, and said, "Wife, don't be afraid!"
Bai Xiaoyue listened to Yan Ci's heartbeat and calmed down:
"Aci, don't worry, I was a little flustered just now, but I'm much better now."
Wen Tong and Bai Wen'an entered Xiang Zhennan's room.
Xiang Zhennan said to his daughter:
"Xiaotong, didn't I tell you not to come over here, lest someone with ulterior motives give us something to talk about."
Wen Tong said with tears streaming down her face:
"Dad, something's happened. Uncle Li's daughter, Li Xin, came here as an educated youth sent to the countryside. She saw me."
She also wrote a letter of denunciation to the Revolutionary Committee, reporting me and my mother.
Xiang Zhennan frowned and asked, "That Li Dahai who lives near my house, his daughter?"
Wen Tong nodded repeatedly: "Dad, does her family have a grudge against us?"
Xiang Zhennan let out a long sigh:
"I was also completely baffled. When I was being criticized and denounced, she was the one who jumped the most, saying that I was exploiting the working people."
Because Li Dahai used to work in our factory, she said I was exploiting her father.
That girl always wears a red armband and gets involved in public denunciations with a group of people. Why would she come to the countryside?
Wen Tong asked, "Dad, what do we do now?"
Xiang Zhennan thought for a moment before saying:
"Tell your mother that I forcibly took her back, and make her sever ties with me."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Wen Tong asked:
"Dad, is this okay? Won't they criticize you again?"
Xiang Zhennan: "That's how the eldest wife in the family does things, and she gets away with it."
It doesn't matter that Dad is a man; they can criticize him however they want.
It's getting chilly, you two should go back quickly and have a good talk with your mother.
Bai Wen'an said to Xiang Zhennan:
"Dad, you should get some rest. We're going back now."
The two hurriedly went home, first to tell Bai Xiaoyue and her husband, and then went back to find Wen Xiya.
After hearing Wen Tong's words, Wen Xiya felt as if she had been struck by lightning:
"Xiaotong, you're saying that farmer who looks a bit like your father is your father, Xiang Zhennan? How could that be?"
Wen Tong didn't speak, she just kept crying. Wen Xiya looked at her daughter, then at her son-in-law.
Seeing Bai Wen'an nod, she was so startled that she took several steps back. She quickly grabbed the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), muttering to herself:
It was actually true; Zhennan was forced to come to the countryside.
Seeing that her mother was stunned and didn't react for a long time, Wen Tong said anxiously:
"Mom, we've been reported. Dad said you should break off your relationship with him and get through this first before we talk about anything else."
Wen Xiya snapped out of her daze:
"Xiao Tong, you have a letter severing ties with your family, so it won't affect you."
I'm fine. What's there to be afraid of for an old woman like me?
Wen Tong got anxious: "Mom, those people don't reason with you, and they don't care whether you're old or young."
No matter how much Wen Tong talked, Wen Xiya closed her eyes and ignored him.
