The heavy snow outside had stopped long ago, and the only sound one could hear was the cold wind blowing. The house was filled with smoke and felt warm as spring.
Qian Shulan looked at Deng Yunping quietly. She had stopped crying. After thinking for a while, Qian Shulan advised her, "Go and tell your brother now. He will know about this sooner or later."
Deng Yunping was a little uneasy. Her mother could understand her and accept her actions, because her adoptive father and her biological mother didn't even know each other. People always protect their shortcomings, so of course her mother would stand on her side.
But her eldest brother was different. He had a very good relationship with his adoptive father. He was also a grateful person. She struggled for a long time, loosening and clenching her fists, opening and closing them for a long time before finally getting up. Her steps were slow and heavy, and every step she took seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Qian Shulan was always behind her to encourage her and smiled at her when she turned around. Under such circumstances, Deng Yunping took the most difficult steps.
Qian Shulan watched her until her figure disappeared into the night.
When Deng Yunping came to the house, Deng Xingming was still awake. He was thinking about how to make furniture.
He was planning to add some new furniture to his room, and the necessary wood had already been approved for him by the team.
But the furniture factory's products were all the same. He wanted to make a set of practical furniture, so he had to draw it himself. He was not a professional, so the things he drew were always specious and he always felt that something was wrong. When he showed it to the carpenter, he also said that his drawings were a bit whimsical and did not conform to the actual situation.
When Deng Yunping pushed the door open, he found his brother frowning with a look of deep resentment and felt a chill in his heart.
She hesitated for a long time and finally called out, "Brother"
Deng Xingming looked up and saw that it was Deng Yunping, and said with a smile, "Little sister, you are here."
Deng Yunping half-closed her eyes unnaturally, twisting her hands together, the intersection of her palms was already wet with sweat. She struggled for a long time before interrupting Deng Xingming's thoughts, "Brother, I want to tell you something."
Seeing her seriousness, Deng Xingming immediately put down the pen in his hand and said, "You say!"
Deng Yunping was a little afraid to look into her brother's eyes, and she closed her eyes and repeated what she had just said to her mother. She spoke very quickly, but the people who heard it were like a bolt from the blue.
Deng Xingming's expression was dull for a moment, his eyes were lifeless for a long time, and he seemed to have no idea where he was going.
He stroked his forehead. Even though he already had a biological mother, he still had feelings for his adoptive parents. But he really didn't expect that his adoptive father would have such thoughts about Yun Ping. Was he blind before? He didn't even notice what was happening under his nose.
Even if he were to think about it now, he couldn't think of anything abnormal about his adoptive father. Of course, he wouldn't doubt Yun Ping's words, he could only blame himself for being too stupid. No wonder his adoptive mother was so cold to Yun Ping, now it seems that his adoptive mother had already noticed the abnormality of his adoptive father. He was really stupid.
Deng Xingming had a bitter face and said guiltily, "Little sister, I found that I am a very unsuccessful brother!" His little sister has been timid since she was a child. She must have gone through great pain to make such a decision!
Deng Yunping was confused by her brother's reaction. She had thought countless times that her brother would scold her, hate her, or even beat her, but she never thought that her brother would blame himself. In the final analysis, this matter had nothing to do with her brother, but he was blaming himself now, wasn't it because he regarded her as more important than his adoptive father!
Deng Yunping smiled softly, and tears soon seeped out of the corners of her eyes, which she gently wiped away.
She suddenly felt that she and her brother were quite similar in some ways, both were equally self-righteous. She couldn't help but tear up, the two people closest to her didn't blame her, so why should she deny herself, she didn't need to give up on herself, she could still live a good life.
Deng Xingming saw a smile on his sister's face and immediately understood why his sister was still unhappy even though she already had so much. It turned out that she had such a big secret in her heart. He just hoped that this incident would not bring her any harm.
Deng Xingming told her, "Let's keep this to ourselves. Wei Jianshe only knows that you reported your adoptive father, but doesn't know the whole process. You really don't need to be coerced by him." Deng Xingming still didn't want his sister to live such a miserable life. She was suffering so much, why couldn't she live freely and comfortably? In the past, he was very dissatisfied with why the country had not promulgated the Criminal Law, but now he is very grateful. In the old society, his sister would be sentenced.
Deng Yunping nodded heavily. Maybe if other people knew that she reported her adoptive father, they would think she was ungrateful and heartless, but as long as her two closest relatives were willing to recognize her, she would not be afraid of any rumors.
In the next few days, no matter how Wei Jianshe tried to find her, Deng Yunping refused to show up.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wei Jianshe could no longer sit still. He personally wrote an anonymous letter to the county revolutionary committee to expose Deng Yunping's crimes.
In the letter, he exaggerated and described Deng Yunping's act of sacrificing her own relatives for the sake of justice as a frame-up, which was a contempt for Chairman M.
After all, he had been a Red Guard, so he knew what the people above cared about the most. That’s why the above-mentioned words were extremely exaggerated.
But he was wrong about one thing. That is, the Revolutionary Committee had a system from top to bottom. Even if the letter was written to the county Revolutionary Committee, it would be distributed to the lower levels, and no one would be sent directly to the lower levels.
In the end, Wei Jianshe's letter of complaint fell into the hands of Director Ma, who rode his bicycle to Lao Wang's house and handed the letter to Qian Shulan.
"I don't believe a single word of what's in Aunt Qian's letter, so I gave it to you. I hope you'll be careful and don't fall into other people's traps." Director Ma told Qian Shulan earnestly.
Qian Shulan took the letter and read it quickly, then carefully thought about what Director Ma said. It turned out that Director Ma thought the content of the letter was fabricated and was written to attack her. Qian Shulan suddenly felt like she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that her character was so bad that everyone wanted to step on her? However, his misunderstanding made Qian Shulan feel relieved.
After much deliberation, she decided to ask Director Ma for a favor. She held up the letter and said, "I know the person who wrote the letter. Could you please transfer him to a place as far away from our production team as possible? If he stays in our production team, he will keep an eye on me, which is really annoying."
Director Ma agreed without thinking.
Qian Shulan took the opportunity to ask him to help find a few people, and added at the end, "If you feel embarrassed, forget it. I don't necessarily want them to come."
Director Ma took the list she handed over, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He folded the list and put it in his pocket, patting his chest, "Aunt Qian, I will try my best to help you transfer people here." He paused and looked at her with admiration, "Aunt Qian is really far-sighted. I am convinced that I have lost to you. But can I let my son come to bother you in the future?"
Qian Shulan was not surprised that Director Ma guessed her intention so quickly, but she did not expect that he also wanted to let her son benefit from it. Since she had already accepted the favor, it would be a bit unkind to refuse.
She nodded immediately, "Of course, as long as you don't think it's dangerous."
Although Director Ma is the boss of the commune, there are not many people who are eyeing his position, so he still needs to act carefully.
Director Ma curled up the corners of his mouth and said with an expression that said, "I trust you very much," "I know Aunt Qian will definitely keep my son safe."
Damn! It's a bundled sale. Director Ma really can't afford to lose anything! Qian Shulan rolled her eyes at him and pouted, "Should I be happy that you trust me so much?"
Director Ma looked at her extremely embarrassed expression and laughed, "Don't worry, I have a good relationship with the higher-ups. No one should have the guts to mess with me."
He said this with real confidence. It seemed that he had not taken any action before because he was busy trying to get through to the upper level.
It seems that what she said before about him becoming an official was really true.
Qian Shulan asked him about the origins of those old items.
Director Ma did not hide the truth from her, "They are all shipped to big cities, where they want to earn foreign exchange. Our country needs to purchase a lot of foreign machinery and equipment so that experts can study them."
Qian Shulan said "oh".
When Director Ma left, he took Wei Jianshe with him. He cried and shouted that he didn't want to leave, but unfortunately he was unable to do so.
Director Ma ordered the militia to cover his mouth and pushed him out of Wangjia Village.
The educated youths were more or less relieved when they saw Wei Jianshe leave again and heard from Director Ma that he would not come back. The other party really did not treat them as outsiders.
Wei Jianshe came back late, and he had no firewood to heat the kang, so he took someone else's firewood without even telling them. They were all young people in their teens and 17s, thin-skinned and didn't know how to curse. At most, they said a few harsh words, but unfortunately, the killing power was limited. For a shameless person like Wei Jianshe, it had no effect at all.
When he left, everyone was almost applauding to see him off.
There was only one exception among this group of educated youth, and that was Liu Bingnan, who came from the same city as Wei Jianshe. He looked very ugly.
Wei Jianshe had told him about Deng Yunping, but not long after he wrote the report, he was taken away. It was such a coincidence.
Thinking of Wei Jianshe's previous instructions, Liu Bingnan felt that it would be better for him to stay put. He didn't dare to gamble with his future. He didn't have Wei Jianshe's courage to gamble everything. He just wanted to live a peaceful life and try to return to the city as soon as possible.
Wei Jianshe, who was taken away by the militia, thought that Liu Bingnan had already told the members about Deng Yunping's actions according to his plan. Wei Jianshe could not help but snorted coldly, "Who told you to kill me without any sympathy? You deserve it!"
Unfortunately, he had no way of knowing Liu Bingnan’s inaction, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would die.
The reason why Wei Jianshe didn't spread the gossip himself was because his reputation in the Wangjia Village production team was too bad and no one believed him, so he could only ask Liu Bingnan for help. Unfortunately, his eyesight was not very good and he found a coward who was afraid of trouble.
Deng Yunping was really worried for a few days after she knew that Wei Jianshe was taken away by Director Ma, but she was relieved when there was no movement in the village.
Winter passed and spring came, and the Wang family welcomed the year 1970.
