Chapter 12 -12 My Life is Completely Over_1
Lin Qing was startled.
Had they already begun handling it?
Big Sister Hu hesitated for a moment, but still said, “The member who reported the issue is actually the daughter of Brigade Leader Song, a very brave young girl.”
Lin Qing narrowed her eyes, she was aware of the true and false daughters’ affair.
Uncle Qin had raised Song Liang’s daughter with much love and indulgence.
But the Song family favored sons over daughters, and the recovered Qin Siqi was malnourished, thin, and sallow.
The Song family didn’t allow her to go to school, and it was said that she started working in the fields at the age of ten.
She not only endured beatings and scoldings but also had to wash clothes for the entire family.
Siqi even bore scars from burns inflicted with boiling water by them.
Perhaps Siqi’s thinking was right.
Had there really been a mistake with the child swap?
Was it possible that Song Liang and Xia Guilan purposely arranged it so their daughter could live a better life?
But this was the Qin family’s affair, and it was not her place to interfere.
Lin Qing’s expression was icy cold.
Such a family of Song’s, with hearts full of venom, coldness, and cruelty, had to pay the price for their sister’s misery.
Only when the knife cuts into one’s own flesh does one know the pain.
Lin Qing glanced at her sister who might have to undergo amputation, seeing not a single good spot on her entire body, her tears immediately flowed.
Seven years ago, when they lost their mother, it was her sister who protected her and helped her grow up.
She would definitely avenge her sister.
Lin Qing concealed the hatred in her eyes and said with a choked voice, “If that’s the case, I’ll wait for the leaders to seek justice for my sister.”
Several leaders and Big Sister Hu walked out.
Deputy County Mayor Zhao said displeased, “How did that Song person become the brigade leader?
Does the Sunflower Commune leadership know about the situation in Erdao River Village?”
“At this hour, can there still be people who are overbearingly oppressive, arrogant, and bully the good?”
“Let’s go to the commune, work on the spot, and give Lin Jia the explanation she deserves.”
—————–
Meanwhile, Song Liang had already been sitting in President Huang’s home at the commune.
With a face full of guilt, he reported his work to President Huang.
He also handed over his written resignation, but promised, “I won’t quit right away.
I’ll leave after dealing with the Wang family’s issues.”
President Huang could not sit still.
He stood up and paced around the room.
After several laps, he glared at Brigade Leader Song, “Can you handle the Wang family’s issues?”
“I can, but I need to borrow a few public security officers.
We have two in our village.
The Wang family is naturally domineering, especially Old Woman Mrs.
Wang, who is unreasonable and throws tantrums at the drop of a hat.
Ordinary people can’t deal with her.”
“The Women’s Federation director went to your village for an investigation, did you see her?”
“I didn’t see her.”
Then Song Liang asked again, “Should I make a call to the county office?”
President Huang thought for a moment, “No need to call, let’s go, take me to Erdao River Village.”
—————–
After discussing their plans, Wang Dazhi took his wife and started to secretly visit a few households with good relationships, promising them benefits if he became the brigade leader.
With benefits at stake, who wouldn’t want them?
Thus, those households quickly agreed.
Wang Dazhi, leading his wife, went to the ‘educated youth’ spot, and upon seeing the three ‘educated youths,’ his eyes swept over the two female ones.
His wife pinched him hard, and with a smile plastered on his face, Wang Dazhi shared his thoughts.
He pulled Sun Zhiqing aside, speaking righteously about how he was treated and cursed Brigade Leader Song a few times.
He promised that if he became the brigade leader, they wouldn’t have to do farm work; they could be scorekeepers or warehouse managers, whatever they wanted.
The opportunity to avoid farm work was too tempting.
But the three were aware of what sort of person Wang Dazhi was.
If he comes here, Erdao River Village will truly be finished.
Yet, it’s not good to directly refute them to their faces, so I gave a vague affirmative response.
After they left, the three of us remained silent.
Just then, a jeep stopped outside, and a man got out, heading straight for Sun Zhiqing, pulling him aside to ask for the evidence against Song Liang.
Sun Zhiqing’s face turned a bit pale.
He always felt like something big was about to happen in Erdao River Village.
He shook his head, “I haven’t gathered any yet.
Accusing without evidence will lead to Song Liang’s counter-lawsuit, and then my life would be completely over.”
The man glanced at Sun Zhiqing, “All you need to do is stand out on behalf of the educated youth.
Let’s take down the do-nothing brigade leader first.
As for the evidence to come, we will search for it ourselves.”
Sun Zhiqing still shook his head.
The man said, “Your family is in Ming City, and we have secured a spot for you at a steel factory, as a worker.
Just write the denunciation letter, and we will immediately issue a transfer order to the commune.”
Sun Zhiqing suddenly stared wide-eyed.
“Write it, then.
I’ll come to get it tonight.”
After saying that, the man didn’t intend to stay any longer and swiftly drove away.
Big Sister Zhong, the director of the Women’s Federation, along with a clerk, had already entered the village.
Seeing the jeep, she wondered if someone in this village had relatives who drove a jeep?
They first went looking for Song Liang, but finding out that he had gone to the commune, they then visited Accountant Li’s house to start inquiring about the matters of the Wang family.
Accountant Li’s wife said, “We live far away and don’t know much, but Wang Zhuzi has a bad temper, and Old Woman Mrs.
Wang favors boys over girls and looks down on the two girls that Lin Zhiqing bore; this I know.”
Then Accountant Li’s wife led them to the Song family’s house.
Old Mrs.
Song’s eyes lit up, and she warmly invited them into the house to sit, beginning with what she knew and had seen: “…I can testify, the way they beat them was so tragic, they even threw them into the pigsty.
How can Old Woman Mrs.
Wang, being a woman herself, behave like a beast, and furthermore, I, along with six grannies, hardly managed to rescue the two tied-up children from the house.
I’ve also heard that Old Woman Mrs.
Wang had been in touch with a child trafficker, only I don’t know what for.”
Big Sister Zhong frowned and instructed the clerk to take it all down.
Old Mrs.
Song wiped away a tear, “I have no idea how Lin Jia’s leg is, or if it can be healed, sigh…”
Song Yunuan, who was playing grab-gag in the main room with Asheng, suddenly froze.
She bowed her head; in her hand was the gag that Old Mrs.
Song treasured—sheep gags, each exquisitely dainty, well-worn to a smooth jade-like finish.
It was just last night that the old lady gave it to her like a precious treasure.
Song Yunuan set down the gag and told her brother to get ready for bed.
She got up from the kang and started to put on her clothes.
This must be what triggered the plot in the book, right?
Lin Jia’s leg wasn’t healed.
She had been a gentle and kind-hearted person, but after the amputation, she changed completely.
No one knew that in Nanshan County Town, there was an old traditional Chinese doctor, exceptionally skilled, like the legendary divine healers of old.
Later, he returned to Beidu, become a health caretaker for a leader, only then people found out he had once stayed in Nanshan County Town.
He could save Lin Jia.
However, he kept a low profile, and nobody knew he was a legendary healer.
He came here for his missing daughter, who people said had been seen here.
Upon that rumor, he searched Nanshan County Town for three years.
In the book, he left in the summer.
And he indeed found his daughter.
His daughter is now married and, luckily, living a good life.
She lost her memory twelve years ago and was taken in by Nanshan County Town.
She married an orphan from Pear Tree Brigade, the wedding arranged by the brigade itself.
Now with a son and a daughter, her elder son is in high school in the county town’s No.
1 Middle School.
Having forgotten her name, she took her husband’s surname, and now she is called Ji Chunxiu.
