Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 115 They were simply paying the price for their greed.
Gu Jianing thought that it was probably because the matter with Lu Ping had been resolved.

"Sister Gu~" Upon seeing Gu Jianing, Qin Tian's face immediately lit up with a smile.

Gu Jianing also noticed that the little guy's mental state was noticeably different from before.

"Come on, come in with me," Gu Jianing said. It was too cold outside, and it wasn't convenient to talk at the door.

"Oh, may I go in?"

"Sure, just register."

"it is good."

After registering, Gu Jianing took Qin Tian home.

This was Qin Tian's first time visiting his sister Gu's house. He was very curious, but only dared to peek at her secretly.

When Qin Tian was invited to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the living room, a wave of warmth wafted over him, making him feel much warmer than before.

Here, have a piece of sponge cake.

Qin Tian looked at the sponge cake that Gu Jianing handed him and quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I can't accept it."

This is a sponge cake, it's very precious.

“Why can’t you take it? I’ll give it to you, just take it and eat it. Your sister Gu doesn’t need this kind of thing.”

Finally, unable to refuse Qin Tian's hospitality, he could only eat the delicious chicken cake while talking about what had happened in the past two days.

The police quickly investigated Qin De and Lu Ping because Qin Tian's parents were important national scientific researchers, and they and their families should be protected. However, Qin De and Lu Ping had embezzled eight years' worth of their salaries.

Moreover, the amount of money involved is enormous.

"...The police said that both of them will be sentenced to death." When he said this, Qin Tian's voice lowered, and his mood was obviously not very good.

"What, do you think the death penalty is too harsh?" Gu Jianing asked.

Qin Tian looked up, his eyes filled with confusion, and even stopped eating the chicken cake. "I... I don't know either."

In fact, Gu Jianing could understand Qin Tian's feelings. After all, it involved two lives, Qin De had previously appeared in the Qin family's life as a benefactor, and Qin Tian was still just a child.

but……

Gu Jianing said solemnly, "Xiao Tian, ​​you need to think about what would happen to your family if this matter hadn't been exposed?"

Qin Tian looked up and listened attentively to Gu Jianing's words.

"Remember what I told you about Qin De trying to trick you into going to the lumber mill? That was to sell you to human traffickers. Do you know what will happen to you if you're sold to human traffickers?"

"Do you know what will happen to the Qin family without you, especially the elderly grandmother and Qin Qing?"

"Imagine your parents dedicating themselves to the country. I believe they do this not only out of love for the country, nor simply because they love scientific research, but also because they want to give their children a better life."

"But they endured the separation from their mothers and children, which benefited others while causing suffering to their own parents and children. Do you think they would feel if they knew this?"

"Tell me, if your parents came back and saw three graves, how heartbroken would they be?"

In fact, through the vision of the future, what Gu Jianing is saying now is what Qin Tian and others experienced in their previous life.

Gu Jianing tried to put herself in Qin Tian's parents' shoes. She thought that if it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to bear such an outcome.

"So, Qin Tian, ​​don't be soft-hearted. They are just paying the price for their greed."

As Qin Tian listened to Gu Jianing's words, it seemed that the same image appeared in his mind as she spoke.

Gradually, he seemed to understand what Gu Jianing was trying to express.

The worry between his brows dissipated, and Qin Tian looked up, saying, "Sister Gu, thank you, I understand." "It's good that you understand."

Then, Qin Tian started talking about other things.

For example, the police have not yet found the human trafficker Qin De contacted who wanted to sell him to Mincheng; they are still searching for him.

For example, after the investigation, the police told Qin Tian that because Qin Tian's parents were important national scientific researchers, even though they were hurriedly called back at that time, they had arranged for someone to take care of the Qin family.

After all, only when their families are at peace can researchers focus on their work for the country.

"...That was an uncle who was a retired soldier living in the county town."

Unfortunately, not long after Qin Zhihong and his wife left, the retired soldier who was entrusted to take care of Qin Tian passed away unexpectedly half a month later.

If that person were there, Qin De's fraudulent claim would probably not have succeeded and would have been exposed long ago.

"The police officers also gave us 5045 yuan..."

When it came to money, Qin Tian's eyes lit up. More than 5000 yuan was a very large sum for him.

Of course, it was three thousand less than the salary their parents had sent them over eight years.

The 5 yuan was seized by the police from the Qin and Lu families. They had embezzled money from the Qin family, so naturally they had to return it.

As for the three thousand, they spent it.

However, the police took other items from their home as collateral, such as bicycles, sewing machines, radios, watches, and some furniture.

Anyway, even if we have to empty both of their belongings, we should try our best to scrape together three thousand yuan.

Both houses were indeed almost emptied out, but there weren't enough people to raise three thousand. Even after adding a lot of food, it still wasn't enough, because some of the money had already been used to buy food or perhaps spent on other things.

There's nothing we can do about the remaining amount.

Although it wasn't enough, Qin Tian was already very satisfied.

“Sister Gu, my family has plenty of grain now, enough to last at least six months. The house was empty before, but now it’s full.”

"I also play the radio for Grandma, and she loves listening to it."

After taking Gu Jianing's medicine for three days, Grandma Qin's cough completely stopped and she recovered.

Qin De's incident caused a huge uproar in Kaoshan Village. After all, it was rare for someone to be taken away by the police for getting into trouble in Kaoshan Village, especially now that Qin De was being asked to eat peanuts.

Thus, the villagers also knew that Qin Zhihong and his wife were not at home.

The Qin family is now mostly old and young, but they are not someone they can bully.

Even knowing that Qin Tian had over 5000 yuan in his hands, and even seeing how much stuff they had at home, no one dared to make a move. Whether it was deception or theft, no one dared to even consider it.

Anyone who dares to touch it might become the next Qin De.

Money is good, but living is the most important thing. Who wants to eat peanuts?

Therefore, the Qin family is very safe now. In fact, people in the village are afraid that the three old members of the Qin family will get into trouble, as the younger ones are less likely to get into trouble.

"Sister Gu, thank you so much, Brother Sheng. If it weren't for you, our family might not be where we are now."

Finally, Qin Tian stood up, bowed to Gu Jianing, and solemnly expressed his gratitude.

He felt that Sister Gu had indirectly saved the lives of the three of them.

He didn't know if he would ever have the chance to see his parents again, but if he did, he would definitely tell them about it.
