Chapter 290 The Pretty Widow 8
"Yes, I am Xu Lifeng. Can you tell me what happened?"
The crickets were heard by the person who was doing it behind his back. What a socially awful scene. Fortunately, they didn't say anything bad about him, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
"At the meeting this morning, the commander personally read out a thank-you letter from Jiang City. It described your heroic act of saving a mother and two children on a train. Every word was sincere and touching. The letter is still posted on the bulletin board. You can go and take a look."
After saying that, the two soldiers pointed to the location of the bulletin board and ran away in a hurry.
Xu Lifeng had already guessed who wrote the letter, but could such a young girl be the mother of those two children?
He thought it was his sister or aunt or something.
He walked to the bulletin board on purpose and saw three consecutive pieces of letter paper in the middle. The contents on them were almost the same as the actual situation.
However, Xu Lifeng was a little confused. He just helped out, but in the mouth of the girl, he became their savior who gave them a new life.
She had clearly realized that those people were human traffickers a long time ago. If he didn't help, she believed she could have handled the matter properly.
Maybe this is the art of language.
All in all, the thank-you letter made Xu Lifeng famous throughout the military region. Even when he went to report for duty, the division commander praised him by name, patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him to keep working hard.
Let’s get back to Chu Yuan.
After she came out of the post office, she went to the bus station. When they first got married, Liu Gangchuan took her back to his hometown once, and she still remembered the basic route.
After getting off the train, you must first take a bus to Jiangbei County, and then take a ox cart from the county seat to Hongxing Village.
After entering the village, walk three or four hundred meters west from the big locust tree at the entrance of the village to reach Liu Gangchuan's parents' home.
In fact, as a rare stranger in the village, Chu Yuan was surrounded by villagers as soon as he entered the village.
"Sister, what are you doing in our village? Are you visiting relatives?"
An enthusiastic older sister came up to help her hold the baby, but Chu Yuan quickly stopped her: "Sister, I can hold the baby myself. I'm here to see my mother-in-law. Her name is Li Juan. Do you know her?"
"Oh, you are Aunt Juan's daughter-in-law? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Yes, my man is Liu Gangchuan. I followed him back once before."
The people around started to discuss: "Is this Chuanzi's wife? I saw her once when we got married, but I have long forgotten what she looks like."
"Then these two children should be Shanzi's leftovers. They seem to be well taken care of."
At this time, the elder sister spoke again: "Then why didn't your Chuanzi come with you? Would he be willing to let you, a woman, go on a long journey with two children?"
Chu Yuan was stumped for a moment. She couldn't just tell people that Liu Gangchuan was dead. At this moment, a familiar figure rescued Chu Yuan from the crowd.
"What are you doing? Why are you all gathered here? Quickly disperse and let my sister-in-law go home."
It’s Xia Yu. It seems that she is a tough person in this village. Didn’t you see that everyone around her dared not say a word?
Xia Yu took Xiang Song from Chu Yuan's arms, and reached out to take the two bags on the ox cart. Chu Yuan held Xiang Bai and followed her out of the crowd.
"Sister-in-law, my aunt's house is just ahead. I'll take you there and then I have to go to work in the fields."
Chu Yuan knew that this was just for show to outsiders. In fact, given her relationship with Xia Yu, there was no need to be so polite.
She nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, thank you so much this time, Xia Yu, sister-in-law has two pieces of candy here for you to eat."
Pushing open the wooden door in front of him, Chu Yuan held the two children and shouted inside: "Dad, Mom, I'm back with Xiang Song and Xiang Bai."
Liu Gangchuan's parents were lying on the kang taking a nap. When they heard the noise, they quickly sat up and walked out in their slippers: "Second son's wife? Why did you come back so suddenly? Where's the second son?"
Chu Yuan pushed the two children to the front and said, "Dad, Mom, Xiang Song and Xiang Bai haven't eaten yet. Let's get them something to eat first. I'll tell you more about Chuanzi later."
When the two old men heard this, they immediately had a bad feeling in their hearts. What did you mean by "I'll tell you more about it later"? Could it be that something had happened to Chuanzi?
After what happened to their eldest son, they worried about their second son day and night, fearing that something might happen to their only son.
However, looking at the two hungry grandchildren in front of them, they could only temporarily suppress their thoughts and go to the kitchen to cook.
It’s not something complicated. It’s almost time for dinner anyway, so I’ll steam three bowls of egg cakes to fill their stomachs. The second son’s wife must be hungry after taking care of the two children along the way.
Chu Yuan held the egg cake her mother-in-law brought her, feeling a little sad. Now she didn't know how to start the conversation.
But they must be informed of this news. I hope their bodies can withstand it.
The layout of this house in the village is similar to the one they had in Dongshi. It was built for his parents by Liu Gangchuan after he made money.
So the two children didn't feel strange at all, and they played around in the yard, chasing each other like before.
Chu Yuan pulled the two old men into the inner room and took out two heart-saving pills from the space in advance.
"Dad, Mom, Chuanzi is in trouble. The director of the steel mill came to our house a few days ago and said that there was a machine failure and Chuanzi was involved."
The two were shocked: "Ah? Then...how is Chuanzi now? Is he injured?"
Chu Yuan did not keep the secret and stated the truth in a sad tone: "Chuanzi is gone, and his body is nowhere to be found."
Liu Gangchuan's mother Chen Lianhua began to cry and wailed: "My son! God, why are you so unfair? You have taken the lives of my two sons one after another. How can I, an old woman, live like this?"
Liu Guoping fell to the ground, unable to recover for a long time. He didn't understand what sins he had committed in his previous life that his two sons had to pay for them.
Chu Yuan quickly helped them all up and stuffed a heart pill into each of their mouths to prevent them from being unable to bear the huge emotional changes.
"Dad, Mom, it's already happened. You must take good care of yourselves. At least we still have Xiang Song and Xiang Bai."
But at this time Chen Lianhua and Liu Guoping could not hear anything. They were immersed in the sorrow of losing their son. The latter even looked a little dazed.
The greatest sorrow in the world is the death of a loved one. These two old people died twice in succession. How is this different from taking their lives?
Chu Yuan saw their behavior and felt very distressed. How pitiful are the parents in the world!
But she couldn't do anything at this moment. She could only continue to try to wake them up from their sadness: "Dad, Mom, Chuanzi's funeral hasn't been handled yet. If something happens to you at this critical moment, what should I do?"
