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

Chapter 74 Father is not his biological father

The next day, when Uncle Bai came over, Bai Jing told him about it.

He stated unequivocally, "Impossible." Indeed, impossible.

No matter how much of a scoundrel his father was, he could never be the murderer who killed his parents.

"Is there some mistake over there?" Although their father was unreliable, he had raised them when they were young.

Deep down, he still didn't want to accept this fact, after all, he had called that person "father" for many years.

"If we're not mistaken, we'll go to the commune and find out. Uncle, I'm afraid your leave will have to be extended this time. I wonder if your work unit will have any objections."

Bai Jing believed Bai Pozi's words more in her heart. Her grandfather might not really be her biological grandfather. After all, if he were her biological grandfather, he wouldn't have done such a heartless thing.

Watching her eldest son's family go hungry, watching them struggle between life and death, and witnessing her dutiful eldest son's grandson turn into a "big-headed baby," all the heavy responsibilities fell on one woman's shoulders.

"It's alright. I'll go back and explain the situation later. I don't think my master will say anything. The factory isn't on duty right now, so having one more or one less person won't make a difference."

Although he hadn't been working there long, he had a pretty good relationship with people in the factory because Uncle Bai was good at interpersonal skills.

"Okay, I'll go buy the tickets first, and I'll wait for you at the bus station in a bit."

"Alright, then thank you for your hard work, Xiaojing. Once this is over, our families will be able to live a better life."

Bai Quanlu glanced at his sister-in-law lying on the hospital bed. Her eyes were red, indicating that she was feeling unwell. "Sister-in-law, take good care of yourself. We'll come back as soon as things are over. Don't worry."

"Okay, be careful on your way back."

When her third uncle went to ask for a long leave, Bai Jing also began to make arrangements. First, she communicated with Director Liu, and then gave him a ginseng root, asking him to do his best to improve her mother's health.

Then it was Dr. Huang's turn. She asked Dr. Huang to give her mother another week's hospitalization slip so she could pay the fees.

After inquiring about the cause, Dr. Huang generously wrote a prescription.

Back in the ward, Bai Jing gave Aunt Wang some instructions, asking her to take good care of her mother while she was away.

Since the money wasn't obtained through legitimate means, she gave her mother over a hundred yuan last night so she could have some money to protect herself.

After arranging everything, Bai Jing went to the bus station, bought two tickets, and waited for her third uncle at the boarding area.

I didn't have to wait long; my third uncle arrived twenty minutes before departure.

"Xiaojing, have you bought the tickets?" Uncle San ran over, carrying a bundle, indicating that he had gone home to pack.

This time it's not just for a day or two, so naturally there's more stuff to bring.

"We've bought everything, Uncle, let's go inside."

They arrived at the commune by car, and as soon as they got off, they went to the commune's public security bureau.

The police station here wasn't as big as the one in town, and Bai Jing wasn't familiar with the people here, so she was stopped at the entrance.

"What can I do for you?" The old man at the gate was very polite; he was clearly someone with connections inside.

"Hello sir, we are the Bai family that Zhang Zixue mentioned, who just came back from town. We wonder if we can find a police officer named Wu."

Lin told her this name yesterday, and told her to contact Officer Wu if she needed anything.

This Officer Wu is a comrade-in-arms of Captain Lin and is now the head of the local public security bureau in the commune.

Upon hearing that the man was looking for Officer Wu, the old man immediately perked up. "You must be Bai Jing," he said, his smile becoming even more genuine.

Don't blame the old man for having two faces; everyone is the same, it's just a matter of human relationships. "Yes, sir, you know me?" Bai Jing was also quite surprised.

But she had no memory of ever meeting this old man before.

"Of course I know her, she's a great hero of ours." These days, their institute has received numerous commendations from higher-ups because of Comrade Bai Jing, and their benefits have even been improved.

"Hurry, go in quickly. Officer Wu has been waiting for you for a long time, and your family members have also been here for a while, just waiting for you."

The old man opened the door and then personally led the two of them to the door.

Uncle Bai was completely bewildered, after all, he didn't know what Bai Jing had done.

However, this was not the time to ask questions, but he was still a little excited to hear that his family had come, wondering if his wife had come.

After entering the lobby, the old man led them to an office.

The door was open, and Bai Jing and Uncle Bai immediately saw the people sitting and standing inside.

Her father, second uncle, second aunt, and third aunt were all there, and even the village chief was there.

After knocking on the door, the old man called out to someone inside and then left with a smile.

Bai Jing and Bai Quanlu went inside upon hearing the sound.

"Hello, Officer Wu, I'm Bai Jing. Captain Lin sent me to find you." Bai Jing introduced herself as soon as she entered.

She hadn't seen this person before at the police station, otherwise they wouldn't be unfamiliar with each other.

"You've come at the right time. We were just talking about your family. Please sit down, and I'll tell you everything again."

Officer Wu was a policeman with a scar on his face, a scar that looked like it had been there many years ago. Perhaps because he rarely smiled, his smile seemed forced.

"Thank you, Officer Wu." After thanking him, Bai Jing pulled her third uncle to sit next to her second uncle.

She was several body lengths away from her father.

With Officer Wu's explanation, Bai Jing understood that Granny Bai planned to use Old Man Bai's matter to gain merit and then try to save her own life.

Unfortunately, she was too naive; given her status, she couldn't protect her life.

"Comrade Bai, what do you think of this matter?" Officer Wu actually believed what Granny Bai said, but many years had passed, and many things could not be verified.

If Old Man Bai insists that he didn't do it, there's nothing they can do about it.

Bai Jing didn't reply immediately, but instead looked at her father and two uncles.

"Father, what do you think, Second Uncle and Third Uncle?" This is not a matter for her to decide.

However, she believed what Granny Bai said, otherwise her grandfather would not have been so cruel in tormenting the descendants of the three families.

Bai Quanshou and Bai Quanlu both turned their attention to their eldest brother, since he was older than them and knew more about things.

Bai Quanfu took a deep breath. "No matter what, he raised us for many years." He had just said this when he couldn't say anything more under the gaze of his two younger brothers.

Bai Quanlu spoke before his second brother, saying, "I don't care whether he truly cared for us or not, but we must avenge our parents. If my eldest brother thinks that the debt of giving birth is greater than the debt of raising us, then we don't need to be brothers anymore."

He was young, so he has very few memories of his mother, but he always knew that there was a woman who loved him—his mother.

"Brother, don't forget, you were almost ten years old when Mother died. I don't believe you knew nothing about what happened to Mother." Bai Quanlu's eyes reddened.

“I remember when I was little, my mother was always lying in bed, and you told my father that my mother was not well. At that time, we had just settled down here, and it was chaotic outside. We couldn’t even find a doctor. My mother eventually vomited blood, but I always knew that my mother loved us.”
