Wenwen looked at the old man puzzledly and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"
The old man sighed and shook his head: "Don't ask about this person anymore in the future, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble, and the Shi family will be gone."
Wenwen was surprised: "How could it be gone? Is there no one left? It was fine last year."
The old man refused to say more: "Gone, not a single person is left. Don't ask about it anymore."
Wenwen insisted, "I have to find out more clearly now. Otherwise, how can I explain to my grandfather when I get back? My whole family is gone. What kind of hatred is this?"
Seeing Wenwen so anxious, the old man said, "Why don't you listen to my advice? I told you not to ask any more questions for your own good."
"I know, but Grandpa Shi and my grandfather are close friends. If I don't get things straightened out, my grandfather will come over in person."
"The Qian family is not something you can afford to offend."
"We just want to get to the bottom of things, why does it involve the Qian family? Miss Qian wouldn't cause us trouble for such a small matter just now, right?" Wenwen looked at the old man.
"Uncle, if you don't want to tell me, I won't make it difficult for you. I have the address that grandpa gave me. I will go and ask about it later."
When the old man heard that she was going to go to the house to inquire, he became anxious: "Now the Shi family belongs to the Qian family, and now the Qian family is living there. Aren't you a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?"
Wenwen asked hurriedly, "Why did the Qian family move into the Shi family? Could it be that the Qian family harmed the Shi family?"
When the old man heard her say this, he wanted to cover her mouth, and he hurried to see if there was anyone outside.
Seeing this, Wenwen winked at Lin Zhiqing, who nodded and stood outside the door.
"Uncle, just tell me. I just want to figure out what's going on. I told you that I can't afford to offend the Qian family, and I won't tell anyone else about it." Wenwen pleaded.
Seeing her like this, the old man felt soft-hearted. It would be bad if this girl really went around asking around and fell into the hands of the Qian family.
"You really can't tell anyone."
Wenwen nodded hurriedly.
"In fact, the whole county knows about this matter, but no one dares to speak out. What a sin! Such a good family, everyone has received favors from the Shi family, but when something happened to their family, let alone seeking justice for them, no one even dares to mention this matter, for fear of getting into trouble." The old man's eyes were slightly red.
The old man wiped his eyes and told what he knew...
It turned out that the Qian family had long been eyeing the wealthy Shi family, but the Shi family has always been a philanthropic family, and since they couldn't find any loopholes elsewhere, they targeted the Shi family's youngest daughter.
The youngest son of the Qian family had a good appearance and was good at talking, and the girl got pregnant before marriage under his sweet talk. In that era, getting pregnant before marriage would be criticized, and in uncivilized villages, one might even be thrown into a pig cage.
After this happened, even if Mr. Shi looked down on the Qian family, he had no choice but to hurriedly marry his daughter, whom he had spoiled since childhood, into the Qian family.
Everything started from here. Half a year later, news came that the youngest daughter of the Shi family had a miscarriage and died of heavy bleeding. Then someone reported that the Shi family had hidden evidence of treason in their home.
Then people from the Pigeon Club came to search for evidence. Somehow they got into a conflict with the Shi family and accidentally pushed the Shi family's daughter-in-law to the ground. Her head hit a protruding stone on the ground and she died instantly.
When the son of the Shi family saw this scene, he took out a knife and chopped the people from the Pigeon Society like crazy. Several people were injured, and one was seriously injured and died.
Old Master Shi let his son go and blocked the gate tightly to prevent anyone from chasing him. Until now, Shi's son is still a wanted murderer and there is a bounty on his head.
Evidence was found in the Shi family, but the Qian family still tried to protect the Qian grandfather and grandson. The charges were all taken by the Shi family's son alone. All the family property of the Shi family was gone, and the Shi grandfather and grandson were kicked out of the house without taking anything.
When they were in the county town, everyone sympathized with the grandfather and grandson, and would occasionally give them a steamed bun or something, but that was it. If someone who had been taken care of by the Shi family before wanted to give them some money, they would be beaten for no apparent reason. Gradually, no one in the county town dared to help the grandfather and grandson anymore.
Later, they could not be found in the county town. At first, it was heard that they had gone to the countryside, and later it was said that the grandfather and grandson had frozen to death in the countryside. I just don’t know whether it is true or not. However, based on the situation of the grandfather and grandson at the time, it is possible that it is true. They didn’t even have a thick cotton jacket, so how could they survive the cold winter.
Everyone was silent after hearing this. Wenwen knew something else that others didn't know: Mr. Shi's injuries were clearly caused by someone who didn't want him to talk nonsense. There had to be more to the matter than that.
"Girl, I have told you everything. Don't ask about it again in the future," said the old man.
Wenwen nodded: "Uncle, do you think the Shi family's grandfather and grandson really froze to death?"
The old man shook his head. "I don't know, but that's what everyone says. No one knows where it came from, but it's probably true. After all, the grandfather and grandson were very pitiful at the time. It's not that people didn't help them, but those who did were beaten half to death."
"My nephew was once taken care of by the Shi family. He secretly brought clothes and food to the grandfather and grandson. Later, someone broke his leg. He still walks with a limp. I guess he will be a cripple for the rest of his life."
After hearing this, Wenwen realized it was no wonder that her uncle had always emphasized not to let her inquire about the Shi family's affairs. He was probably afraid that she would end up like his nephew.
Sometimes it is like this. People are not actually without compassion, but in the face of evil forces, ordinary people dare not say or do anything, and just want to live in peace.
"Uncle, if you believe me, let your nephew go to Lijiawan to find Doctor He. Doctor He should be able to cure his leg." Wenwen still couldn't bear to let a kind person live in grief.
The old man was surprised: "Really? Lijiawan, the Lijiawan with a big pharmaceutical factory? Would the miracle doctor care about ordinary people like us?"
Wenwen comforted him: "The miracle doctor is also an ordinary citizen. When he goes, just say that it was Wen Zhiqing who sent him there. Let him go as soon as possible. If he delays for too long, it will be difficult to cure him."
The old man thanked them repeatedly. He didn't expect that these people were educated youth from Lijiawan. No wonder they bought so many textbooks.
Wenwen looked at the piles of textbooks, a lot of notebooks, pens and ink, and even a lot of toys.
"Uncle, how can we get a car? I have too much stuff to take with me."
The old man saw that there were quite a lot of things and thought for a moment, "There's a flour mill next door. They have trucks, but I don't know if they're willing to go there."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiqing said, "I'll go and ask. If I don't go, I'll try to find a solution."
