Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 394 Even when they came to beg for mercy, they couldn't utter a single soft word.

The next morning, Ji Xiangcheng arrived, accompanied by two people dressed in plain clothes. It was immediately obvious that the two people were of extraordinary status.

The two followed closely behind Ji Xiangcheng like door gods.

She handed a red envelope to Xu Qinghuan, saying, "Yesterday was your wedding day. I was going to come, but someone like me might not be welcome, so I'm here today to make up for it."

Xu Qinghuan didn't take it, but poured her a cup of tea instead. "Speak, what brings you here?"

When they first met on the train, before she knew her identity, she genuinely admired Ki Kasumi's personality. However, after learning that her mother was Mana Chika, they could no longer be friends.

Don't say that Ji Xiangcheng didn't know her mother's identity. Mana Chinatsu used the money and welfare earned from China's interests to support her and let her live a life of luxury. She grew up eating steamed buns soaked in the blood of her father and comrades.

Ji Xiangcheng did not accept the tea, but placed the red envelope on the table. "Xu Qinghuan, you didn't treat me like this when we first met. After you heard my mother's name, you learned about my identity, and you started to keep your distance from me!"

Xu Qinghuan looked at the lush vegetables outside the door. This year, Jiang Xingye was planting on this plot of land; he was very skilled at growing vegetables.

“I was suspicious when you introduced your name to me. Ji Xiangcheng, you said that your mother named you that because you like to eat oranges, but I know that's not the case. It's a name with ethnic characteristics.”

Ji Xiangcheng, there is a national and personal feud between us. I did not kill you because I must abide by the laws of China and be a law-abiding citizen, not because of your innocence.

"You have your mother's blood flowing in your veins; that is original sin!"

Tears streamed down Ji Xiangcheng's face. "What does this have to do with me? I've never known who she is. What does she have to do with me? Why are you pinning her guilt on me?"

You say that having her blood in my veins is a sin, but Xu Qinghuan, was this a choice I could make?

She hastily wiped away her tears. "I grieve for your father and for those who sacrificed their lives. But in a war, both sides want to win, and both sides try every means to win."

Xu Qinghuan said indignantly, "So, Ji Xiangcheng, what is your nationality?"

Chinatsu Mana married a Chinese man, a genuine Chinese man.

Ji Xiangcheng shook her head. "I don't know, I really don't know. I've always considered you my best friend. Even back then, you told Lin Yufei to ignore me. He actually had feelings for me, but you told him to ignore me."

Xu Qinghuan asked, "How are the Ji family members now? How are your father's family members doing? And what about you? What will become of you?"

Ji Xiangcheng started crying again, she was very sad, "So this is not fair, this is so unfair, this is really unfair to us!"

“There’s nothing unfair about it. It would be too unfair to punish only your mother. Everyone who goes to the countryside is assigned by the organization and goes wherever they are assigned. But you are different. You can choose where you want to go.”

Ji Xiangcheng was taken aback. "I trusted you back then, that's why I said those things to you."

“But such words strike a nerve with us ordinary people. There’s an old Chinese saying: ‘It’s not scarcity we worry about, but inequality,’” Xu Qinghuan said. “What gives you the right to enjoy special privileges?”

"You were also assigned to the Shangjiang Brigade. Didn't you want to come here yourself?"

“That’s true, but my father sacrificed his life. At the time, I was an orphan of a martyr, and according to policy, I could even apply to not be sent to the countryside. But what is your status?”

Xu Qinghuan sighed and said, "Ji Xiangcheng, you don't need to say anything unfair. If I were you, I would accept all the punishment, repent, forgive, and pay for the sins of my father. There's nothing unfair about it. You were born on this land, and this land nurtured you. Repent for the evil you did for your mother and the sins you committed!"

Ji Xiangcheng closed her eyes and cried bitterly. She couldn't even utter a soft word to beg for forgiveness.

It is evident how well Chinatsu Mana has protected her over the past twenty years, which has also made her so naive that she thought Xu Qinghuan would fight for her some lenient treatment because of their one-time acquaintance.

The whole army was wiped out!
So many people died. Although her father survived, his guilt and deep pain did not diminish with the passage of time. On the contrary, as the truth came to light, they became even more difficult to redeem.

Ji Xiangcheng actually naively thought she could get forgiveness for herself.

Why!

Xu Qinghuan nodded at the two men, who urged Ji Xiangcheng to leave. Although she didn't want to leave, there was no point in staying.

When she left, Ji Xiangcheng didn't forget to take her red envelope with her.

Jian Jingchuan came out of the room and asked, "Who is this woman?"

"Chinatsu Mana's daughter. We met on the train."

Jian Jingchuan understood.

No wonder this girl came to find Xu Qinghuan; she would be placed on the farm with the harshest, worst, and most disorderly conditions, and would never be released.

The Jiang family hosted another banquet, inviting the relatives who came from Yancheng to eat. It was a very lavish meal, with meat that Jiang Xingye had bought early in the morning, and several main dishes that he had specially bought from a state-run restaurant.

The following day, Jian Jingchuan arranged two tables at Xu Qinghuan's place for a homecoming banquet before returning home with his group from Yancheng.

Xu Qinghuan wanted to give the bathroom renovation plans to Jian Jingchuan so her father could help renovate the bathroom in Yancheng, but Jiang Xingye stopped her, saying, "I'll do it!"

He was still somewhat unhappy.

Xu Qinghuan had no choice but to go along with him.

After seeing Jian Jingchuan and the others off at the train station, two unexpected guests arrived at the Shangjiang Brigade: Lu Mingqiu and Lu Mingxu, who had come to work in the countryside.

Xu Qinghuan was quite surprised. She thought Lu Mingqiu would leave with the man who slept with her, but only if that man wanted her.

Lu Mingxu's leg had healed, but the fifteen-year-old boy was as thin as a sheet of paper, with prominent cheekbones and sunken eyes. He had a kitten in his pocket, its round head peeking out, its amber eyes darting around.

Upon seeing Xu Qinghuan, Lu Mingxu hesitated for a long time, his gaze following her until she had walked quite a distance before he softly called out, "Sister."

Duan Qingmei was the only one living in the female educated youth settlement. At first, she was worried that the people in the production team would gossip and spread rumors, but as time went on, she gradually realized the advantages of living alone. Now that there was another person, she was not used to it and was very resistant to Lu Mingqiu moving in.

"You're from the Lu family, what's your relationship with Lu Nianying?" Duan Qingmei asked.

Lu Mingqiu ignored her and tidied up the south kang (heated brick bed) on his own. Duan Qingmei cursed under her breath, so Lu Mingqiu threw a basin of dirty water that had been used to wipe the kang at Duan Qingmei, saying, "If you curse again, I'll tear your mouth off!"

Duan Qingmei didn't expect that a newcomer like her would dare to act so unruly, so she turned around and pounced on her, and the two started fighting.
