Chapter 77: Zhang Caiyun is Released
“Chuanzi, I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!”
“It’s my fault for not raising my daughter properly. I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
Wang Taoxiang was a woman who could bend and stretch. As soon as she entered, she knelt before Chen Mingchuan.
Could saying sorry be enough? If it wasn’t for his wife’s dream-like reminder, perhaps it would have been her who was sold into the mountains! And she would have lost her own son!
He couldn’t forgive such a vicious woman!
Chen Mingchuan spoke expressionlessly, “Mother-in-law, get up. It’s not your fault. Blame Caiyun’s venomous heart! Perhaps you won’t believe me, but I never had any feelings for her beyond that of a brother and sister. I never gave her any hints. But because of her so-called love, she took such a drastic action. It’s truly frightening! Such a cruel person, who would dare to marry her in the future?”
Wang Taoxiang hadn’t expected her daughter to cause such a big commotion. She wasn’t a kind person either, but she didn’t have the guts to do something like this.
“You can rest assured, we will definitely educate her properly from now on! Please forgive her. If she’s arrested, it will affect her brothers and sisters. This, consider it as atonement from me and her father.”
With that, Wang Taoxiang handed over a bundle of money…
“This…”
Before Chen Mingchuan could say anything, Secretary Zhang grabbed the money and stuffed it into his hand, “This is what you deserve. You two have been frightened, you should take it!”
Indeed, they should take it. If they didn’t make these people suffer, they would never learn their lesson! If they thought they could get away with it just by paying money, they were underestimating him!
As long as he was alive, he wasn’t afraid of anything.
“Mother-in-law, get up. You’re an elder, kneeling before me like this, if others see, they’ll think I’m heartless. Caiyun’s matter is very serious. The police station has already opened a case against her. If you want to cancel it, I have to go and plead personally. You all go back. Don’t let anyone know about this.”
Of course, they couldn’t let anyone know! If this got out, the Chen family and the Zhang family would become infamous throughout the entire Mingguang Brigade.
Secretary Zhang left with the couple, because he felt he had to give them a good scolding, otherwise they wouldn’t take it seriously.
Holding the money, Chen Mingchuan went inside.
“The Zhang family paid, and Secretary Zhang came too. He knows everything that happened. I know you’re not happy, but this involves the entire Zhang family name. We can only temporarily put up with it.”
Temporarily? This man must have other plans?
Li Xinyue never thought about letting Zhang Caiyun go. But she knew that if she didn’t pretend to let her go now, Secretary Zhang would keep coming. If they couldn’t win openly, they would resort to secret means. And if they could do that, she could too!
Zhang Caiyun, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you have a life even worse than the original owner!
“How much?”
“I didn’t count. Secretary Zhang was there, I didn’t feel comfortable counting.”
Secretary Zhang was a very upright person, but even an upright person would have private interests when it came to the reputation of the entire Zhang family.
Taking the money in her hand, Li Xinyue counted it, “One hundred and fifty. Not bad, but it’s only temporary. Zhang Caiyun likes to hang out with gangsters, right? Then I wish her to marry a big gangster in the future, and be beaten every day!”
What a naive woman! She just cursed a few times and let her go?
Chen Mingchuan didn’t know how terrifying Li Xinyue’s curse was. Instead, he felt that his wife was too kind.
That night, Wang Cuimiao cooked two extra dishes. She used all the meat left from the previous day.
“I have to go pay respects to the old man in heaven. If he hadn’t sent a dream to remind you, Yi’er would have been in trouble.”
Li Xinyue: “…”
She understood her aunt’s sentiment!
The atmosphere in the entire Chen family was heavy that day.
It was because of Chen Mingguo’s wife, her child was missing, and Zhang Caiyun was locked up in the police station.
After dinner, the family of three stayed at their uncle’s house for a long time before going home to prepare for bed.
But as soon as they finished showering, they heard Chen Lao Si shouting: “Mom, Mom, Xiaojuan’s stomach hurts, it hurts so badly!”
The child in Ye Juan’s belly was only two months old. Today, because of her son’s disappearance, she was tired and nervous, and the fetus was not stable.
Mrs. Chen immediately ran out: “What do you want me to do? Quickly take her to the brigade clinic, hurry!”
“No, the brigade clinic is useless, that doctor Lin doesn’t understand gynecology!”
Yes, yes, yes.
Mrs. Chen was anxious: “Eldest son, eldest son, hurry! Quickly prepare a stretcher and send your sister-in-law to the town clinic.”
“Old man, quickly prepare torches!”
The whole family worked together, and finally sent her away.
Li Xinyue only glanced faintly at Chen Mingguo’s wife’s room, then went back to her room to sleep: she wouldn’t curse a child!
The next day, Chen Mingchuan went to the county.
On the third day, Zhang Caiyun was finally released.
But she lost her job.
In this era, canteen work was also a formal position, although the work wasn’t great, but there was money every month.
This job was secured through a lot of connections by Captain Zhang.
As soon as Zhang Caiyun came back, her father beat her: “I told you to be law-abiding! You dare to do anything, if you want to die, go hang yourself!”
“Wuwuwu… wuwuwu…”
Zhang Caiyun also regretted it. If Ye Juan hadn’t always come to her, she wouldn’t have been so bold.
After being beaten, she only dared to cry secretly.
“What are you crying for? Will crying help?”
“Tomorrow, before the news spreads, find someone to marry her off!”
For now, who would marry her?
A good job, suddenly gone, wouldn’t people investigate?
Wang Taoxiang looked miserable: “His father, let’s wait until this storm passes. If we talk about her now, it won’t work.”
“Caiyun can’t stay at home either. My cousin is in the county Revolutionary Committee, let’s send her there first.”
The captain didn’t expect this Chen Laosan to have such a strong backing, even the director of the Revolutionary Committee went to the police station to plead for her, but it was useless.
The director even said: If you can avoid him, avoid him. His background is something even the county Revolutionary Committee director can’t afford to offend!
If it wasn’t for his daughter actually going to jail, he wouldn’t have bothered with her, as he was losing face as the captain!
“That’s the only way. She can’t stay at home!”
No one knew that Zhang Caiyun had lost her job, and no one knew that she had come back.
That night, the captain quietly sent her away.
The child was still being searched for.
But after searching for two or three days, they still couldn’t find the two people who had taken the child.
Several counties joined forces to search, but they couldn’t find them.
Those two hooligans seemed to have disappeared from the world, vanished.
All those hooligans with previous convictions were sent to labor reform farms to undergo labor reform.
These past two days, Li Xinyue hadn’t done anything, she just focused on making hair dye at home.
By this afternoon, she had finished another batch. She was about to go back to sleep for a while, but unexpectedly, Ye Juan came back…
“Did you have someone take my son away? Did you know our plan all along, so you had someone take my son away?”
