Chapter 221: Aftermath
“Su… Su, is… is it… real?”
“That beast’s whole family all suffered retribution?!”
Jin Hua and Wu Meng’s mother listened to the news for a good while, still full of disbelief on their faces.
“It’s real, such a sensational thing is now spreading everywhere outside.”
“Hahahaha! Great, great, girl did you hear? Heaven has eyes, heaven has eyes!”
“Wuwu…”
Looking at Jin Hua who was pounding her legs with laughter and then holding her head sobbing, and Wu Meng who had teary eyes yet stubbornly refused to blink, staring straight at herself.
Nodding again to give an affirmative answer, but in the latter half of the sentence Su Ning’s red lips opened and closed, with some hesitation in her heart about whether to explain.
Wei Junjie was only convicted because of Yin Zhen’s death and the baby in her belly, as for the others… abducting good women and children, illegal imprisonment, rape, torture, murder, cruel dismemberment and so on, none of these crimes had been exposed.
They struggled and hesitated for a long time, but in the end decided to swallow it with blood.
After all, that beast Wei Junjie didn’t have nine heads to feed a few more peanuts, if the matter was exposed it would only give a superficial explanation to the deceased.
But more would make them unable to rest in peace after death, such an explosive thing would definitely be reported and become the topic of conversation in everyone’s mouths, unable to stop for the next few years.
Not to mention Wu Meng and Xiao Qiu as the only two survivors, from now on they would always need a normal life.
Sometimes whether intentional or not, kindness or malice, the dead are gone and all of it would only burden the living.
In the end evil brings retribution, Wei Junjie also received the punishment he deserved, they didn’t want to see the scene they imagined truly happen.
Regarding Wei Junhao and the three dead Wei Family members’ corpses all disappearing without a trace, Su Ning privately had some guesses.
Knowing the madman Wei would make them unable to rest well even after death, she was truly relieved.
……
“Xiao, Xiao Ning, what do you mean?”
“Big Aunt, Sister Wu Meng’s matter although didn’t explode out, but she’s been missing for so long, going back she’s afraid she’ll still be gossiped about in various ways.”
Save a person to the end, send Buddha to the west.
Gossip hurts more than knives and swords.
In the end, whether Wu Meng or Zhang Qin, what wrong did they have? But those long-tongued women and even most people would feel from the bottom of their hearts that they were not innocent.
Flies don’t bite seamless eggs, why you and not others, maybe it’s because you didn’t keep to wifely virtue…
Even if Sister Wu Meng’s man died and no husband’s family made trouble, she’d still be drowned by these spittle stars.
The best way is to stay away from Tao City, find a place where no one knows them to truly start anew.
Patting her hand that subconsciously gripped hers tightly, Su Ning continued to persuade in a soft gentle voice.
“Just with Sister Wu Meng recognizing so many herbs, if she goes with me to the health clinic of Hongqi Commune Team One, not only can she support herself but also help me gather herbs and process them, it would be a big help…”
“I… I’ll go…”
As she nodded vigorously, two large teardrops fell straight down, but the corners of her mouth showed the first smile in many days.
How could Wu Meng not know that everything she said was for her own good?
Even if what she learned from her dad was just a bit of fur, just to repay the benefactor for saving her life and help Su Su, she had to force herself to study diligently.
“Thank you… Xiao Ning, old woman thanks you, you saved my girl and her two lives!”
Fumbling to touch her hand, Jin Hua choked up and thanked her repeatedly.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother, how could she not know her own girl?
Except for the day they met when the girl’s excited joyful emotions had obvious ups and downs, afterward she had always been in a state of despair.
She was blind but her heart wasn’t, what ideas her daughter had, Jin Hua knew clearly.
So even if inconvenient to trouble the benefactor she had to thicken her face and follow, so even if not sleeping she had to secretly pay attention and watch closely.
Wasn’t it just afraid of seeing the most unwilling scene truly happen?
Now it’s good, the girl can leave Tao City to a place where no one knows her, even if farther from herself but as long as she can live well that’s enough.
“Then Sister Wu Meng can stay at the health clinic, with her watching over me it will be much easier, I should be the one saying thanks.”
“Good, good child…”
……
Slowly exiting the room, thoughtfully closing the room door to leave alone time for the mother and daughter, Su Ning with slightly red eye rims came to the living room.
The matter already had a result so Zhang Ze didn’t come over in the evening, instead accompanying family to prepare for going to the factory tomorrow to cancel leave and go to work.
Hu Yingtao was coaxing Xiao Qiu to sleep, so on the sofa only sat the silent Zhang Fu and Zhang Qi father and son.
Seeing her come over, the two seemed to break free from their own thoughts.
“All settled?”
“Mm, settled. Sister Wu Meng agreed to go with me to Hongqi Commune, Big Aunt also agreed without opposition.”
Nodding, Zhang Fu exhaled a turbid breath, suppressing the dull pain surging in his heart and forcing a smile, “Pretty good, Wu Meng girl is still young, her road ahead is still long.”
Knowing godfather couldn’t help but think of Sister Zhang Qin again, Su Ning subconsciously gave Zhang Qi a look.
Receiving her glance, the fist-gripped hand slowly loosened, Zhang Qi pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge and very naturally changed the topic.
“Dad, do you think we should go together to Ning Ning’s place?”
“Go, of course we must go!”
Sure enough mentioning this Zhang Fu instantly perked up, he still had to go see what Ning Ning’s partner was like, meet Yan Family’s two elders.
If the person was really good, they also had to make some plans for Ning Ning.
Since dating, how can they not meet parents?
Dating doesn’t mean marriage, but engagement must be set, right?
Ning Ning is a girl without elders by her side, now that they came over these things naturally had to be handled well for her, can’t let her suffer a loss.
“But so many of us going, Ning Ning your room there?”
“Godfather rest assured, Su Family Ancestral Home is even bigger than this, no matter how many go it can accommodate.”
“That’s good, A Qi you remember to buy some gifts tomorrow morning, prepare more.”
Not only future in-laws grandparents there, and distant old man Su Qingshan the brigade leader’s family who has always taken care of her, heard there’s also Fu Family who are now her neighbors, and those teachers secretly teaching skills at the cattle shed side…
All these need careful preparation of a gift, can’t lose etiquette.
“I know Dad, tomorrow morning I’ll go out and buy them back.”
“Godfather this gift…”
“Ning Ning listen to godfather.”
Gifts many not blamed, any relationship needs self operation and maintenance, them doing thoroughly not only gives her face but also sells a good.
Zhang Family after all is far away can’t come timely, later if something happens still need to rely more on them, even for this, the gifts can’t be few or light.
“No godfather you misunderstood, I mean I have connections here, Big Brother is unfamiliar with life and place, things still let me prepare.”
Knowing he might have misunderstood, Su Ning hurriedly explained.
These good long time space’s things are piling up like disaster, just her alone using them would take until what year what month?
Just right with the opportunity, consume some where possible.
By the way besides gifts for several families, she also restocked some surface supplies for herself.
“This…”
What she said made sense, he might not even buy the hot goods from supply and marketing cooperative department store, having connections is of course better than competing luck.
Zhang Qi and Zhang Fu exchanged a look, both nodding agreement, “But say it first, money and ration coupons whatever let your big brother pay, no freeloading!”
“Right, Ning Ning buy with confidence, big brother pays!”
“Hehe, good, this time I guarantee not to rob with big brother you.”
……
The next day early morning when sky was grayly bright, Su Ning greeted them and hurriedly went out the door.
After turning a corner out of the alley, taking advantage of no one around, god knows ghost knows slipped into the space.
After entering Peach Blossom Spring immediately took off the cotton clothes and cotton pants on her body, next used spiritual power to finish all the work that needed doing, then plunged headfirst into the underground storage room to rummage the supplies needed this time.
Nowadays sending any rare things doesn’t match sending grain.
Seeing Chinese New Year is less than a month away, besides rice flour and such, this time also should take the rare chance to clear some of this meat!
Livestock nonstop slaughtering out of the pen, although the large wooden buckets piled and cabinets drawers with various grains can infinitely store, but by her rough estimate the quantity is really too astonishing.
Just leaving them won’t spoil but looking at them is pity!
Since said having connections, two pigs and other meats isn’t too excessive?
Tomorrow arrive home, after arriving home restore stable updates ha. Out for a few days don’t know why, everywhere blocked, cover face~ so why think of joining this fun, Emmm, does anyone have smart people not going out?
