Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 73 The Commune's Telephone
"Let me explain the house to you in detail." So Bai Jing slowly told him about buying the house and the reason why she had her second uncle register the property together.

“You’ve made a great arrangement. Your second uncle will be very excited if he finds out. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll take two days off and go back to the village with you.”

He insisted on going back to celebrate this important event with his wife.

"Take leave? No, Uncle, you've only been working for a few days. It's not good to keep taking leave." In her mind, she could help with this.

"You do not understand."

Bai Jing was speechless. Fine, she doesn't understand. If she doesn't understand, she doesn't understand.

"As long as it won't make things difficult for your boss, that's fine." Bai Jing shook her head and then gave him the certificate.

"It's eight hundred yuan in total. You and your second uncle each get four hundred. If you don't have enough money, you can sell the things you left with me."

That thing wasn't an antique; once it's sold, it's sold.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, I'll sell it."

"Then I'll give it to you when I get home. Don't bother going to Uncle Zhong and the others for the stuff; just take it to the post office and sell it there."

Anyway, the price is the same, so as not to add burden to Uncle Zhong and the others.

These days, that stuff isn't so easy to sell.

"Yeah, I didn't sell it to them last time."

After discussing her return time, Bai Jing went to visit the supply and marketing cooperative.

She doesn't lack money, but she lacks tickets.

I'd like to check out the black market, but I don't have the guts.

The town wasn't a commune; Uncle Zhong and the others were there, so she wasn't afraid.

She was genuinely afraid of being watched in town.

After her shopping spree, Bai Jing returned to the hospital and told her mother about her trip back to the village the next day.

Luo Chunhua's wound has almost healed. She is being well taken care of with good food and drink every day. Her face is no longer sallow, and she looks much more energetic and no longer sickly. With Director Liu's treatment, Luo Chunhua has undergone a remarkable transformation in a short period of time.

Luo Chunhua was relieved to learn that her brother-in-law was also going back with her.

"I even want to go back with you all." Having been away from home for so long, she also misses home and her children.

"Mom, your wound hasn't fully healed yet, so don't run around. What if it reopens? Just stay here and wait for our good news. I'll take care of things with Dad." Bai Jing practically swore an oath to dissuade her mother from having any ideas.

Luo Chunhua was amused by her appearance. "Okay, Mother won't go back. I'll wait for you in town."

Just as Bai Jing was preparing to return to the village, the town's public security bureau received a call from the commune below.

Team Leader Lin hung up the phone, looking completely bewildered.

"Captain Lin, what happened?" Officer Zhou asked, looking at Captain Lin who was in a daze after hanging up the phone.

Team Leader Lin opened his mouth, but finally said to Officer Zhou, "Sister Zhou, could you come with me to the hospital?"

He had to personally talk to the person about this, "because it concerns Bai Jing."

He hadn't expected the people from the commune to find out about this, and he really didn't know how to explain it to Bai Jing.

He suppressed the matter, intending to inform the young girl beforehand.

"Then together."

On the way, Officer Zhou kept asking Captain Lin what was going on. Captain Lin naturally didn't intend to hide anything, since in the end, it would be Sister Zhou who had to step in.

After listening, Zhou Gong'an sighed, "I really don't know whether to say this is a blessing or a curse."

"Sigh." The two sighed as they went to the hospital to find Bai Jing.

Aunt Wang had already left, leaving only Bai Jing and Luo Chunhua in the ward.

Bai Jing was pleasantly surprised to see Captain Lin and Aunt Zhou arrive.

"Team Leader Lin, Aunt Zhou, what brings you here? Come on, come sit down." It was already dinnertime, and Bai Jing had already set out the food, but hadn't had a chance to eat yet.

"Have you eaten yet? Would you like to eat with us?" She cooked a bit too much tonight, mainly because she hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, so she brought back extra food.

Since her strength increased, her appetite has also increased; she can now eat as much as three other people.

"No need, we came here to talk to you about something," Team Leader Lin and Officer Zhou said in unison.

Hearing this, Bai Jing lost her appetite. "What is it?"

"The commune called because they knew you were in town, so they notified me immediately and asked me to talk to you." This was also a favor to Bai Jing; the credit for this didn't just go to the town police, but also to the police in the commune.

Next, I told Bai Jing what she had said on the phone.

It turns out that Zhang Zixue confessed to some things after learning that she had been sentenced.

This matter also concerns the Bai family.

The person she reported was none other than Old Man Bai. That's right, it was Old Man Bai who was reported by Granny Bai, who accused him of murder for money.

As for why he did this, it was simply to give himself a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, her identity determined her future; she had no chance of survival.

When faced with life and death, nothing is more important than oneself.

"Has the commune investigated my grandmother's affairs?" Bai Jing listened calmly, and then asked.

She never doubted this point, after all, a stepmother means a stepfather, and she could understand that.

But she never imagined that her biological grandfather wasn't her grandfather.

"Not yet. They want you to inform your third uncle so they can go back and investigate together. After all, many years have passed, and the police are human, not gods. If the parties involved don't confess, then they are powerless."

No one can sentence anyone without evidence.

Luo Chunhua's eyes reddened; she was grieving for her mother-in-law in the story, who had trusted the wrong person.

She wept for herself, because it shouldn't have been her responsibility to take care of the person she had been filial to for so many years.

What's even more ridiculous is that her husband neglected the whole family for the sake of so-called filial piety, and in the end, the person he was supposed to be filial to turned out to be his own blood relative and enemy.

"We understand. But is it impossible to find out anything from my own grandmother's side?" As long as there are still relatives on my grandmother's side, maybe we can find out.

"I'm not entirely sure. You'll have to go back and communicate with the police in the commune, since they're in charge of this matter," Team Leader Lin said, shaking his head.

Originally, I just wanted to go back to get the necessary documents and then transfer my household registration. Now, I'm afraid this matter won't be resolved, and I won't be able to transfer my household registration.

"Yes, that's exactly what I was planning to do, I'm going back tomorrow."

Bai Jing never expected that there was such a thing involved.

Luo Chunhua stood firm this time, "I want to go back with you. Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless." She had a lot of anger to vent, whether it was towards her father-in-law or her husband.

"Mother," Bai Jing called out disapprovingly, "Your body hasn't recovered yet. If you're discharged now, all the previous treatments will have been for nothing. Mother, nothing is more important than you."

That's right, in Bai Jing's heart, nothing is more important than her mother.

Luo Chunhua wanted to say something more, but when she met her daughter's gaze, she swallowed her words. She knew how much her daughter valued her as her mother.

"Oh dear, what a mess this is."
