Reborn back to 1984

Chapter 40

In Shen Anlin's impression, Zhang Xiuqing was a shy, simple-minded country girl who was easy to coax and manage. Now he has become so sharp-tongued and ruthless. Knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, country women are indeed more barbaric than city women, she is a tigress... But even so, he never thought that Zhang Xiuqing would choose to call the police. Wouldn't doing so hurt both sides?
According to the golden rule that Shen Anlin summed up by himself, women are the most face-saving creatures. Once encountering such a thing, they will all bite their teeth and swallow their blood. Even their parents will not tell them. Hanging, at most, before dying, shout: "So-and-so, you have hurt me so badly, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go..."

Rumors and savage words have hurt people the most since ancient times. Some things are passed around, and they will become unrecognizable later.

But her in-laws know that no matter whether she is innocent or not, she will never look up in this life, and even if she gives birth to a child, she will be judged by others.The country people have a poisonous mouth, and they can't die when they scold others, maybe they will be called "little bastards"... Has she ever thought about this?
This damn bitch, is his brain flooded?What good would it do her to have him in jail?If I knew she was so sinister and vicious, I shouldn't have written her an IOU and a letter of repentance just now... It's all my own carelessness, I fell into her beauty trap, and now I will be killed by her!As long as you go to prison, your future in this life is over, and you might even lose your life!

You must know that since 83, when the nationwide crackdown began, the people's courts at all levels have all followed the principle of double obedience, that is, given severe and swift sentences according to the law.He intended to infringe Zhang Xiuqing, the witnesses and the material evidences are all available, he will be imprisoned, if he is unlucky, he may be sentenced to death, then next year today will be his death day... Shen Anlin rolled his eyes and passed out again!

When Zhang Lingen returned home at night, he saw Zhang Xiuqing's red and swollen cheeks at a glance, and his expression changed drastically: "Xiuqing, tell Dad, who beat you?" Then he looked at Shen Heying, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and condemnation.

Shen Heying immediately jumped up: "Zhang Lingen, what do you think I am doing? Do you think I hit you? Xiuqing is my own daughter, she is already a big girl, even if I want to hit her, it is impossible to hit her in the face , how could you think of me so badly..."

Zhang Xiuqing was afraid that her parents would quarrel about her, so she rested her chin with both hands, and said in a casual tone: "Father, mother, a thief broke into the house today. Fortunately, Shao Han came to me for something. The thief was caught, and then he helped to call the police, and the police from the police station came to our house and arrested the thief.”

An adulterer is also a thief, Zhang Xiuqing didn't want her father who loved her the most to suffer, so after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to keep it a secret for one more day.

This excerpt is really not very good, because Zhang's family is notoriously poor in the village, it can be described as a bare house, and there is really nothing to steal.Unexpectedly, neither Zhang Lingen nor Shen Heying had any doubts. They looked at each other, one with a gloomy expression and the other with an angry expression.

Zhang Xiuqing knew there was a story in it at a glance, and asked, "Is there any ancestral treasure in our family that the thief bone remembers?"

Zhang Lingen lowered his head and said nothing, Shen Heying roared excitedly: "It would be great if there were, you don't have to worry about tuition fees, and I don't have to worry about those debts either..."

"I remember that when Xiaofeng was not born, thieves often broke into the house. As long as we went to visit relatives' houses, we would always find that everything was turned upside down when we returned home. Once those thieves even brought shovels in. Many holes were dug in each room. I asked you what was going on, and you lied to me that it was a mouse hole. Another time, when I slept until midnight, several thieves entered the room, and one of them accidentally kicked over a sheet. The stool, I was awakened, and through the moonlight outside the window, I saw the dark shadows in the room, and I was so frightened that I cried. Abba suddenly took out a kitchen knife from under the pillow, and while fighting those people, he shouted 'Catch the thief's bone'...you covered my mouth, dragged me out of bed, hugged Xiuhong who was still asleep in the other hand, and led us to the vegetable field behind the house, you will show me Hong handed it over to me and asked me to cover her ears. If she woke up, I would coax her not to cry like an adult. I took a pole and went back to the house to help my father. After that, there were many troubles. Second thief..."

Zhang Xiuqing vaguely recalled that in her previous life, in order to marry Shen Anlin, she had a big fight with her family. One day, she woke up from hunger and got up to look for something to eat. She heard her mother and father talking about old things. The next day she asked about it. They all denied it, saying in unison that she had heard it wrong, and reprimanded her for becoming more and more ignorant, and even got up in the middle of the night to listen to the wall, which made her almost cry... Thinking of the past, Zhang Xiuqing always felt that there was a story in it, He tentatively asked: "Mom, our family is so poor that we live on debt, why do those thieves always stare at us?"

Zhang Lingen raised his head suddenly: "Do you still remember these things?"

Zhang Xiuqing nodded.

Moisture suddenly appeared in Zhang Lingen's eye sockets, his lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Shen Heying was also surprised by Zhang Xiuqing's good memory, but thinking that this daughter was smart since she was a child, she didn't think much about it, she just turned her head and gave Zhang Lingen a hard look, gritted her teeth and said, "It's all your grandfather's fault, go to town When I went to the market, I met a rich man with a heart and a heart. I took the risk to help him, but I didn’t end up with a good one. Instead, I was killed by them. I bought that rich man's daughter, and often sneaked into the cowshed in the middle of the night to deliver food to their family. As a result, those ungrateful city people beat them up as soon as they gained power, saying that your father stole their family's gold and silver treasures..."

"Stop talking..." Zhang Lingen grabbed his hair with both hands, raised his head in pain, and pleaded in his eyes.

Shen Heying said unwillingly: "Many people in the village know about this matter, and the three children will hear about it sooner or later. Instead of hearing those rumors from others, it is better for us to tell them the truth, lest that family come back again in the future. Playing seven twists and three, the children don't know the inside story, and they really think that our family has done something shameful..."

Zhang Lingen closed his eyes and shouted, "I told you to stop talking!"

Shen Heying thought that Zhang Lingen hadn't forgotten the old love, stood up angrily, and shouted: "Why don't you let me tell? Are you still thinking about him? Don't forget, when the rich man's daughter framed you as a thief, You stole the gold and silver treasures from her family, and almost sent you to jail. You were not convinced, and you brought a knife to the door to settle the account. You were almost beaten to death. At that time, the woman was standing by the side, watching you being beaten, I didn't say a word, but I, a passer-by, called the police to save your life, how could you treat me like this?"

Zhang Lingen grabbed his hair with both hands, stood up staggeringly, walked outside, and stopped to speak when he reached the gate of the yard, his voice was hoarse and ugly: "I didn't miss her, if you didn't always mention it, I would have Forget about her... I want to be nice to you, but it's a pity that I don't have the ability, if you regret it, just tell me, I will let you go and live a good life..."

Shen Heying suddenly screamed: "Zhang Lingen, what do you mean? Do you want to divorce me?"

Zhang Xiuqing was not on guard that she would try out this secret, and couldn't help regretting it, she quickly stood up and caressed her tearful mother: "Mom, mom... calm down, Dad just feels too uncomfortable and doesn't want to divorce you... "

Shen Heying trembled with excitement, and shouted: "What's wrong with him, isn't it that he didn't marry that rich man's daughter, but instead married me, an illiterate?"

"If Dad dislikes you, will there be the three of us?" Zhang Xiuqing persuaded patiently: "Mom, our family has finally survived until now, and we are about to live a good life. We can't break up at this critical moment. I For example, these unpleasant past events are the scars in Dad’s heart. If you don’t remove them, they will heal after a long time. If you remove them every two days, they will hurt, bleed, and never heal. do you understand?"

Shen Heying's face suddenly revealed a thoughtful expression, Zhang Xiuqing gave Zhang Xiaofeng a wink, motioned him to keep an eye on his mother, then ordered Zhang Xiuhong to spread bread, and went out to look for his father.

Zhang Lingen was no longer at the gate of the yard. Zhang Xiuqing thought about it and decided to go east. Before leaving, she grabbed a pole in her hand and a bag of lime powder in her pocket.

After walking for about 15 minutes, Zhang Xiuqing found Zhang Lingen by the side of a ditch, "Abba, Xiuhong is selling pancakes, waiting for you to eat when you go back."

After Shen Heying revealed the secret of the past, Zhang Lingen felt a little shameless facing the three children, said the word "Xiuqing..." and couldn't continue.

Looking at his father's heavy shoulders and slightly hunched back, Zhang Xiuqing suddenly felt sad, sniffed, and said, "Abba, I have something to discuss with you, I plan to go to Shanghai with Shao Han next week, Find a way to import a batch of nylon mesh cloth, then find a garment factory to manufacture it, and then wholesale it to retail stores in various towns and towns, and make a profit from the difference..."

Zhang Lingen turned around in surprise: "Shao Han came to you today to talk to you about this matter? It's a good idea, but where did you get the capital?"

Zhang Xiuqing didn't want his father to worry, so he said another excerpt: "Don't worry, I came up with this good idea. Shao Han wants to do business with me, and he will handle the money matters. We will be in Shanghai at most. Stay for a week, no matter if you succeed or not, you will come back..."

The real situation is that Shao Han asked Zhang Xiuqing what plans he had in the future. Zhang Xiuqing was grateful to him for solving his crisis today, so he told about his plan to save enough money to make nylon tents. Only then did Shao Han understand why Zhang Xiuqing wanted to ask Ma Tao Where did my own venture capital come from? After a moment of silence, I said: "Why do you have to wait until next year? We will go to Shanghai next week. I will handle all the money matters..."

Before leaving, he took away from her the 20 IOU written by Shen Anlin, saying that this was her start-up capital.
