Gong Linglong did not follow her to the Public Security Bureau. She returned home along the same route, but was stopped before she had walked fifty meters.
"Um, little comrade, what should I call you?"
The ones who stopped her were the two elders of the Yang family, and the young man from the Yang family whom she had met when she delivered the letter that day. Now it was Yang's father who spoke.
"My last name is Gong, Gong Linglong."
Gong Linglong answered him. Seeing the Yang family's grandson staring at her, she guessed that he must have recognized her and admitted generously, "I was the one who delivered the letter to the Yang family that day."
When she had just quarreled with the Qin family, the two elders had heard the news and had gone over. Now that they knew her identity, Mother Yang looked miserable and grief-stricken. "Comrade Xiao Gong, our Yang family owes you a thank you. If you hadn't sent us a letter to remind us, we probably would never have known that our second son was murdered."
"I heard that Uncle Yang, who passed away, was a dedicated hero who defended his country. We cannot allow heroes to rest in peace, nor can we allow evildoers to go unpunished."
Hearing her words, Yang's mother burst into tears and bowed to her to express her gratitude: "Comrade Xiao Gong, thank you. I thank you on behalf of the Yang family."
"No, please get up quickly."
Gong Linglong dodged to the side and quickly stepped forward to help her up. She understood the pain of seeing her son die, and offered words of advice: "The deceased is gone, may he rest in peace. Take care of yourselves, elders. The late Uncle Yang is watching over you from heaven. If you live well and stay healthy, he will rest in peace too."
"Good boy, you are right. Let's take care of our health so that he can rest in peace." Father Yang's eyes were wet with tears and his voice was choked with sobs.
Gong Linglong was not familiar with them. She chatted with them briefly at the intersection, then took her exclusive weapon and returned to the Song family.
The two elders of the Yang family stood there and watched her leave. When her figure disappeared at the end of the road, Father Yang spoke, his eyes particularly cold: "Contact Xiao Qi tomorrow. The farm where Qin Menglan was sent is under his jurisdiction. Let her do her labor reform on the farm for the next fifteen years and let her stay there forever."
"You don't need to tell me about this. I will take care of it."
Mother Yang wiped away her tears and gnashed her teeth in hatred: "Since she is so shameless and despicable, I will help her."
Father Yang understood what she meant and did not stop her. He looked towards the Qin family with cold eyes and said, "I'll leave her affairs to you. I'll take care of the rest of the Qin family's affairs. I want the entire Qin family to pay for Ping'er's life."
Gong Linglong was not aware of the Yang family's subsequent arrangements. When she came back, her mother had already cooked the rice. The mother and daughter talked while preparing the dinner.
After Zhou Lanping returned from get off work, she immediately told them the news: "Sisters, Linglong, Qin Mengyu has arranged Bai Jianren's funeral. He has been sent to the funeral home for cremation, and she also arranged for the disposal of the ashes."
"Tsk, I thought she was going to be sent to Niujiao Bay to disgust the Bai family." Gong Linglong curled her lips.
"She did want to, but the Qin family is in trouble right now. Even if she sent Bai Jianren's body back to his hometown, there's no guarantee the Bai family would accept it. It would definitely cause trouble for the Qin family later. Besides, Zhao Yusu will be buried tomorrow, and she can't leave now to deal with Bai Jianren's affairs."
Just as Zhou Lanping said, even if Qin Mengyu sent the body back to Niujiao Bay, the Bai family would not collect it for him.
Because the Bai family had been driven out of Niujiaowan at this time, and their house was razed to the ground by the villagers in the team. Now the whole family was forced to live with relatives.
After the briefing meeting in Tancheng ended this morning, the Public Security Bureau called Yang County to report the incident, and the county immediately notified the commune and Niujiaowan Brigade. By then, the entire commune knew that Bai Jianren had been sentenced to death for multiple crimes and had died at the briefing meeting.
Later, Bai Lao Da and Li Cuihua returned to the team in a mess. They resented that Bai Jianren did not give them his savings even after his death. When they returned home, they cursed him in various ways and told him all the immoral things he had done in Tancheng, causing an uproar in the entire commune.
The Bai family's reputation was completely ruined. The villagers in Niujiaowan were outraged. Under the leadership of the village cadres, they drove them out of the production team that afternoon.
None of the relatives from the Bai family would accept them. They all wanted to sever ties with them immediately, for fear of being implicated by them.
In the end, they all had to go to the woman's parents' home. Li Cuihua, with a big pig head, returned to her parents' home with her husband and children. Her parents' home was not far away, and they had heard about what happened in the Bai family. Her sisters-in-law refused to let them into the house, and finally they made a scene and forced her parents to agree to stay for three days.
Bai Laosan and Wang Xiuhong also went to her parents' home with their two children. Wang Xiuhong's parents' home was far away, so the news about the Bai family had not spread there yet. However, it would sooner or later reach the ears of Wang's parents, and their lives would not be easy.
The worst off were the old man and the old woman. They had nowhere to go and had to pack up their tattered luggage and go to the old woman's parents' home. In the end, they were arranged to live in an old cowshed that was leaking everywhere.
After only two or three days of living there, a spring rain hit and the dilapidated old cowshed collapsed due to the heavy rain. The two old guys were hit by the beams in the middle of the night and died at the same time.
After the two old guys died, the old woman's family notified the brothers Bai Jianlin and Bai Jianyi to come and take care of the funeral, but they were so cold-blooded and heartless that they didn't even show up, let alone come to take care of the funeral.
In the end, out of desperation, the old woman's brothers from her natal family bought them two thin coffins and buried them hastily on a desolate slope.
Gong Linglong did not inquire about the Bai family's affairs. These days, she concentrated on raising pigs and farming at home, and preparing three meals a day, and began to live a quiet and simple life.
Bai Shuixian's wound has also recovered very well. She went to the hospital for a follow-up check today, and the doctor has confirmed that she has fully recovered. He also said that she has a good physical constitution and strong recovery ability, much better than her peers.
Staying at my aunt's house these days has caused them a lot of trouble. Gong Linglong went to the meat processing factory to buy a lot of delicious food and decided to cook a sumptuous meal tonight to thank my aunt and uncle.
I steamed three bowls of braised pork, stewed pork ribs soup, and made spicy fish fillets that my uncle likes.
The mother and daughter also made a lot of dumplings at home, froze them all and stored them in the cupboard so that their aunt and her family could cook them when they got home from get off work. They also left a large basket of fresh vegetables for them.
Zhou Lanping was reluctant to see them leave. During the few days that the mother and daughter stayed at home, the couple had hot and delicious meals to eat when they came home from get off work, and midnight snacks to fill their stomachs after working overtime. The house was also cleaned spotlessly, and they could sit together and chat in the evening. The house was finally no longer lonely.
No matter how reluctant she was, Zhou Lanping had no choice but to see them off. Her second sister and nephew called her office three times today to tell her that the wedding had been arranged and they were just waiting for her and her daughter to go to Seoul.
