It’s not that Liu Yiran is pretentious, nor is she a saint.

Ning Li was not a bad person, and she had never done anything that would enrage God or man, but she felt really bad that a living person was gone.

If it weren't for the two of them being angry with each other, perhaps this person wouldn't have been killed.

She sat on a small stool, staring blankly at something.

"Sister, I... have to go back to Jing City. Zheng Heping has been taken back. He needs to be interrogated before important information can be dug out. I don't know what the Tianhe Brigade has that is worth them sending a special agent here."

Liu Yiran came to her senses and noticed that Xie Kai was already standing in front of her.

"You're leaving? That's fine. You're not an educated youth anyway, so you're useless here. You should go back to your original position. By the way, Xie Jiye...is he okay?"

Speaking of this, Xie Kai felt a little depressed.

"My second uncle is in a very bad condition. My father said that he had been weak since he was a child. Later, he became seriously ill because he was locked up by my grandfather. Then he received the news that my grandfather and your mother had passed away.

If he hadn't known that he had a child, I'm afraid my second uncle would have given up long ago."

She never thought that the first time she heard news about her father would be like this. She thought his life might not be easy, but she never thought it would be so difficult.

"What can I do to help him? At least let him live to see the day when he sees me again!"

"I know that the children of our Xie family are all good children with conscience. Although Second Uncle's life is a bit hard, he never cares about these things. Why don't you write him a letter? If he feels better, maybe he will feel better too."

Liu Yiran thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After returning to the room, she took out a pen and paper and wrote a whole article. The main idea was that she, as a daughter, had suffered a lot and hoped to get her father's love in the future.

Then, as a father, Xie Jiye must take good care of his health, behave positively, and strive for early redress.

In order to let Xie Jiye have something to think about, Liu Yiran specially put a peach wood bookmark made by his mother into the envelope. Having this thing might be a motivation for him!

After handing the letter to Xie Kai, Liu Yin asked, "Can I still write to him or mail him things in the future?"

"of course."

Xie Kai took out a piece of paper from his pocket with an address on it. It was Xie Jiye's address.

Although he was also sent down to the Northwest, Xie Jiye's life was not particularly difficult thanks to the support of Xie Jizu. Moreover, the conditions now were not as strict as they were in the 1960s.

Originally, Xie Kai wanted to leave some money for Liu Yiran, but she refused to take any.

Xie Kai also knew that judging from Liu Yiran's dress and spending, the little girl was not short of money. After all, she had a grandfather who was a deceased factory director and an uncle who was a current factory director, so her life should not be too bad.

Without anyone knowing, Xie Kai left the Tianhe Brigade quietly.

In a corner behind the cowshed, Wu Xuan and his old leader were whispering something.

"Wu Xuan, are you sure you won't go back this time? This is your best chance. Xie Kai is a good guy. He didn't negate your contribution in coming up with the idea."

"Old leader, you know why I came here, and I can't leave now!"

The old leader glared at him angrily and said, "Look at how little you have achieved. Isn't it said in the whole brigade that you and that educated youth Liu are engaged? You even accepted the engagement gift.

"Look at your idiotic state, you haven't captured him yet, have you? Don't say you are my soldiers when you get out, you coward!"

Wu Xuan: This has nothing to do with you!

"Don't worry about me. I won't leave until you guys leave. I have a lot of shit to deal with, and you still worry about me. You should worry less, and you can live a few more years."

"Get out of here, you little bastard!"

Every conversation between the two ended with the old leader saying "get out".

The team was exceptionally quiet over the next few days. Perhaps they were scared by the spies, or perhaps it was because someone was killed. After work, everyone went home early and rarely gossiped with each other.

On the fifth day, Ning Li's parents arrived.

Ning Li is the second child in the family, with an older sister and a younger brother. She is not valued much at home. The reason why her parents came together this time was because they heard what the person who delivered the message said.

I thought they were sad about losing a daughter, but I didn't expect they were happy that this daughter could be exchanged for 500 yuan.

Liu Yiran had heard from Xie Kai a long time ago that as compensation, the higher-ups gave Ning Li's parents 500 yuan, of which 300 yuan was raised spontaneously by the soldiers who took part in the operation.

Originally, the two elders were very satisfied, as this was much more than what one would get if one got married.

But Ning Li's parents regretted what they heard from someone, so they rushed to the Tianhe Brigade in a hurry.

Coming to get things was secondary. The main purpose was to see whether the educated youth named Liu Yiran was really that rich. Since their daughter's death was related to this man, he had to compensate for their losses.

During the lunch break at noon, Liu Yiran was blocked in front of the dining table.

"You are Liu Yiran? You are the one who killed our daughter? Tell me, how are you going to compensate us?"

At this moment, Liu Yiran felt that her depression over the past few days was unnecessary. She shouldn't have wasted her time. This man brought his own death upon himself. What did it have to do with her?

"Auntie, why don't I understand what you are saying?

Your daughter is an adult. She is free to go wherever she wants. She died because she left her job without permission, which is why she was persecuted by the secret agents. What does it have to do with me?"

“You are really good at speaking, no wonder my Erya can’t beat you.

I'm telling you, I'm not Erya, I'm not that easy to fool. If you don't take the money today, I'll spread the word around the village, saying that you rich capitalist ladies are taking human lives lightly."

"Cai Qing, ride your bike and help me report to the police. Someone is slandering the children of martyrs."

The words "children of a martyr" left Ning Li's parents at a loss. The person who came to their house to report the news clearly said that the woman was a capitalist daughter. Could he have lied to them?

"Impossible, we have all heard that you are the daughter of a capitalist, and your father is still in the Northwest!"

Liu Yiran's identity is still a secret, and no one knows it except a few close family members. Who on earth knows her so well that he would go to find Ning Li's parents?

"Auntie, could it be that you heard this from my sister Liu Lili?"

Ning Li's mother was anxious: "What? She is your sister? This liar actually deceived me. I will settle the score with her when I go back. Old man, let's go!"

When Liu Yiran said the name Liu Lili, the old lady knew she had been cheated.

The old lady is very thoughtful. Not everyone can pretend to be the children of martyrs. Since they dare to go to the police, it must be true. If they don’t run away, are they just waiting to be caught?
