Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 474 was classified as a family matter.
Lu Qiaoge's voice carried an indescribable calming power, and seemed to possess an inexplicable magic, suddenly injecting a bit of vitality into Tan Ying, who was like a walking corpse.

But this vitality is not the vitality of wanting to live.
It was the power she wanted to express.

Tan Ying's voice was slightly choked: "Director Lu, do you know how much I hate being a woman? I don't want to be a woman, being a woman is too painful, but I have no choice. I was born a woman, and I'm not stupid, so all of this has become my sins."

Why is this happening? What did I do wrong?
Just because I'm a woman?

So, am I destined to suffer all this pain and torment from childhood to adulthood?

Lu Qiaoge didn't speak, but looked at her with gentle eyes.

"Director Lu, do you know how much I want to be a man? If I were a man, my parents wouldn't have placed all their hopes on Tan Tiezhu."

If I were a man, I could have stopped my parents from selling my older sister. Unfortunately, I'm a woman. I must have done something extremely evil in my past life to be reborn as a woman in this one.

Lu Qiaoge finally spoke: "They're coming to question you in a bit. Cooperate well and tell the truth, like why you released Qu Caifeng..."

Lu Qiaoge couldn't say anything more.

Hopefully, the clever Tan Ying would understand the meaning behind her words. After all, she wasn't alone with her, and there was a security guard from the local police station standing at the door.

After her wounds were treated, Qu Caifeng was helped into the car by Chen Zhi.

Before leaving, Lu Qiaoge whispered to Director Zhu, who came to see her off, "The Tan family's situation must be quite complicated. Before dealing with them, the commune should conduct a thorough investigation in the Shangen Brigade."

President Zhu had privately speculated about Lu Qiaoge.

This girl is very capable, but she has a soft heart.

If someone is worthy of her help, she will definitely reach out and pull them out of the mire, leading them onto the bright path.

President Zhu nodded seriously: "Director Lu, don't worry. Our Manshan Commune will definitely investigate thoroughly and will not let a bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong an innocent person."

Lu Qiaoge said meaningfully, "Yes, but no matter what, this is a family matter of the Tan family, and our commune should also take it into consideration when handling it."

President Zhu nodded: "That's right, that's the point."

They arrived at the military factory in silence, and Lu Qiaoge took the person to the staff hospital.

The only people we can notify right now are Qu Caifeng's parents-in-law and sister-in-law.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Qu Caifeng and said calmly, "Let's notify her tomorrow morning."

At this moment, Qu Caifeng kept her eyes closed; she didn't want to see her parents-in-law or her sister-in-law.

Because they have essentially cut off all contact.

She also never allowed her parents-in-law to come and see the two children.

When her in-laws come, it reminds her of her dead husband.

She didn't want anything to do with them.

But now... she actually hoped they would come, but since Lu Qiaoge said that, she didn't dare to argue.

Yes, it's so late, we shouldn't let them come.

It's not a good thing if they see me like this.

Qu Caifeng pretended to be asleep.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at her and left the ward. She first took Shao Le and Chen Zhi home, and on the way she ran into Qin Hengzhi, who had just received the news.

Lu Qiaoge returned the car to the food factory's garage, while Qin Hengzhi drove Lu Qiaoge home.

He didn't say much, just told her to get some rest. Then he handed a wooden box to Lu Qiaoge, saying, "This is for your little niece." Lu Qiaoge took the box, opened it, and saw a longevity lock made of gold.

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "I thank you on behalf of my little niece."

Qin Hengzhi smiled, but before leaving, he still told Lu Qiaoge, "Leave Qu Caifeng's matter to the unit to handle."

Lu Qiaoge had the same idea.

She has done all she could.

For certain reasons, Qu Caifeng's matter was kept quiet.

However, when she returned home, her parents-in-law and sister-in-law all followed her.

The happiest people were Qu Caifeng's two children. They loved their grandparents and aunt, but their mother didn't like them and wouldn't even let them eat the things they gave them.

Now that her grandparents live with them, Qu Caifeng no longer dares to go crazy and torture or abuse the little girl.

The little girl was the happiest.

On Tan Ying's side, the deputy head of the commune led a team to conduct a detailed investigation in the Shangen brigade.

They also deeply abhor the behavior of fools.

But this fool really is a fool.

President Zhu and the head of the police station said, "In the end, Tan Tiezhu's parents bear the greatest responsibility. If they hadn't spoiled, indulged, and even protected him, Tan Tiezhu wouldn't have done so many evil things."

Then he comforted Captain Jin: "Alright, you don't need to blame yourself. No matter what, no one was killed. It's not a bad thing that the idiot is paralyzed on the bed now. At least he won't run away and do evil."

Captain Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Chief, you know me. Take that time when that idiot beat his wife to death, for example. It's not like we didn't deal with it, but how could we? He's really stupid, he's not pretending. If you lock him up, he'll cause such a ruckus that he could tear the house down. He doesn't understand anything you say to him. He only listens to those old men and women, but those old men and women never teach him anything good."

This matter was ultimately classified as a family affair, at the insistence of Old Tan and his wife.

The original plan was to deal with Tan Ying; even if she wasn't sentenced, she should be sent to work on a farm for at least ten years.

However, the Tan family elders also made a mistake, and they too must be punished. But now the problem is, nobody cares about the mentally challenged person.

For various reasons, the mentally challenged father and mother were released.

Originally, the two men wanted Tan Ying to pay for her crimes in blood, but after staying at home for a few days, they couldn't stand it anymore.

The main problem is that there's no one to do the housework.

With spring plowing just around the corner, the vegetable gardens in front of and behind the houses, the chickens and ducks raised—now that there's no household responsibility system, everyone has to work together.

Tan Ying used to earn full work points just like male laborers.

The old man was lazy and good-for-nothing, working only sporadically, and the family relied entirely on Tan Ying to make ends meet.

The two of them talked about it for several days. Their other daughter, who had been sold, was too far away, thousands of miles away. They didn't even know if she was alive or dead.

He was surrounded only by his mentally challenged son and Tan Ying.

In truth, they knew that it was impossible to rely on their mentally challenged son for old age. All they wanted was for him to marry a wife, have children, carry on the Tan family line, and also take care of the mentally challenged son and the two of them.

Who would have thought that the woman he married would be beaten to death before they even spent the night together, and then this second one would have such a terrible incident?

If it weren't for these difficulties, both of them would have been sent to a farm.

But in reality, the farm was unwilling to accept it.

If these two go, they'll have to take the mentally challenged person with them, and besides, they're both old. What can they do on the farm? They'll just become a burden to the farm...
