Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Because the interrogation had to continue, Chen Zhaodi and Chen Guangzong could not be relocated for the time being, and the two continued to live in Yard No. 95.

April is almost here, and the wheat and rice in the space can be harvested. Chen Zhaodi plans to divide a portion of them and secretly move them to the experimental fields of the Agricultural University after the harvest.

In her previous life, she was just an ordinary girl under 20 years old who only received nine years of compulsory education. After traveling through time, in addition to obtaining a space that was not much different from the reality, she had neither the mental power to pick up objects through the air nor the genetic potion to turn her into a strongman in seconds.

She didn't know much about the history of this period, except what she learned from the novel. Although she knew that Xiao Li was exposed, she didn't know how much Xiao Li could do or how much he could change, so she did what she could, even if it wasn't much.

After she secretly mixed the wheat and rice seedlings with an output of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu in the space into the experimental fields of the Agricultural University, she felt relieved and never went to that place again.

She always kept in mind that any action would leave traces. With Xiao Li as a precedent, she would definitely be careful.

Speaking of Xiao Li, it has been a month since he moved out in early March. I don't know how he is doing now, but he should be doing well. At least, no one who works in the steel rolling mill in the yard has said anything happened to Xiao Li.

Life in Yard No. 95 was very peaceful, except that Chen Guangzong became more and more silent day by day, and the scars on his body accumulated day by day.

In May, the two of them went to the police station again.

It’s still that Public Security Wang.

Chen Zhaodi looked at Wang Gongan expectantly, hoping to get some good news from him.

A smile appeared on Wang Gongan's tired face: "Zhao Di, there is a result."

"We later checked the police station's files and found that in June 45, a family was murdered in the area where Hu Meihua lived. The family that was murdered was the one that also had a pregnant woman."

Wang Gongan pushed over a yellowed photo of a couple holding a baby.

Chen Zhaodi took the photo with shaking hands. Although the photo is not very clear now, the face shape and nose of the mother and the eyes of the father are very similar to hers.

The bottom of the photo reads: In Memory of My Daughter Lin Baoyan's First Birthday Father: Lin Bochang Mother: Fang Xiuyun

Chen Zhaodi blinked away the tears that had overflowed from her eyes, gently touched the photo, and looked up to ask, "How did they die?"

Wang Gongan shook his head: "There is no reason in the file, only a record of the family being wiped out and all the family assets being looted."

"We interrogated Hu Meihua several times later, and she finally admitted that she did know your biological mother, and that it was your biological mother who taught her to read. Her own child did die after being born in the hospital, but she did not steal the children of other pregnant women in the hospital. After she was discharged from the hospital, she was in a bad mood all the time, and it was only after she saw you that she gradually calmed down."

"For this reason, she has close ties with your biological mother's family,"

"Before the accident, your biological mother might have anticipated something and entrusted you to her, and also gave her a large sum of money. This money is the jar that was found before."

"Not long after the accident, Hu Meihua and her husband used part of the money to buy a house in Courtyard 95, moved in, and have lived there ever since."

Chen Zhaodi was silent. She didn't expect that it was her biological mother who entrusted her child to Hu Meihua.

But, I still wonder: "When did Hu Meihua join the spy organization?"

Wang Gongan said: "According to their account, Chen Datou was developed into an underling in 43, and Hu Meihua came a little later. Over the years, they have mainly been collecting and passing on some information."

"We originally speculated that Hu Meihua was familiar with your biological mother because your biological father and mother were her targets. However, your biological father, Lin Bochang, was a teacher at the Beiping Advanced Commercial Vocational School, and your biological mother, Fang Xiuyun, was a nurse. They were not members of our party, so Hu Meihua had no reason to approach them and then kill them."

Chen Zhaodi always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.

The police have done their best to investigate the matter to this extent.

She nodded and said, "Thank you for working so hard and researching so much about my life experience."

Wang Gongan shook his head: "It is our duty to serve the people. No need to thank me."

He went on to introduce the results of the treatment of Chen Datou and Hu Meihua: "After being arrested, these two people have made meritorious contributions, but they have been trying to conceal the truth. In view of the fact that they have not committed any heinous crimes such as murder since they were engaged in espionage activities, they are planned to be sent to the northwest for labor reform."

"Chen Guangzong is young and has not participated in any spy activities. He will send these two people to an orphanage after they have been sent to labor reform. As for you, we would like to ask for your opinion."

Chen Zhaodi touched the photo and said, "I want to change my name first. I have my biological parents and the name they gave me. I don't want to have anything to do with those two people anymore."

Public Security Wang nodded: "Xiao Li said, you don't want to go to an orphanage, you want to live alone?"

Chen Zhaodi nodded: "Yes, you have seen that I have become independent during this period of time."

Wang Gongan smiled and said, "You are indeed able to be independent, and you can even do better than many adults."

He knew about the girl's past experiences in the Chen family, and he also knew that during this period of time, she had not taken any revenge on Chen Guangzong.

As for mental health, what is that? If you are fed and clothed, and have clean clothes, what else do you want?

Nowadays, many parents cannot do these things, but Chen Zhaodi has done them all, which is enough to prove the character of this child.

"We have negotiated with the neighborhood office. If you don't want to go to the orphanage, then you can stay in your home at No. 95. This house was originally bought with your parents' money, so it's only right that it's transferred to you now. As for the jar of property..."

Before Wang Gongan could finish, Chen Zhaodi interrupted him and said, "I want to donate those properties."

She said sincerely: "Hu Meihua said that the money was for my parents to take care of me. I have a house now and will grow up soon. When I grow up, I can work and support myself. I don't need the money. Let's use it for something more needed."

Wang Gongan was moved: "Zhao Di, you have to know that it is a huge sum of money. We can change it into RMB and deposit it in the bank. The annual interest you get is far more than a worker's salary. Are you sure you want to donate it?"

Chen Zhaodi had counted those properties, so how much money it was? Now that she was offering to donate it, she felt very heartbroken.

But think about the era now, think about the fact that everyone in the compound knows that the police took away a large jar of gold. When they find out about her situation, will her life still be protected? Will her life still be stable?

So she nodded very confidently and sincerely and said, "Yes, I am determined to donate it. I think my parents in heaven would agree if they knew about it."

Then she said shyly, "Of course, can you leave me some money for my living expenses for the next few years? I also want to study. Once I finish my studies, I can find a good job. Once I get a job, I won't need living expenses anymore."
