Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"Auntie, I brought you some clean clothes and some food. Come and eat..." Tang Xiaofu put a bowl of steaming dumplings and two new sets of clothes on the table.

He Fengying was stunned for a moment, and before she had time to think about it, she picked up the chopsticks and started eating the dumplings quickly.

She didn't even chew them, just swallowed several dumplings whole, her mouth was really big and deep.

She hadn't had a full meal in the past few days and was so hungry that she was half dead.

Even if someone pointed a gun at her head at this moment, she probably wouldn't even bother to look at it. Even if she died, she would rather die with a full stomach!

Lin Zhengjun said gently: "No one dares to bully you two children. You have been living in Lin Bingde's house these days, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing!"

He Fengying paused while eating dumplings, and two lines of tears rolled down into the bowl.

Three minutes later, He Fengying finished her dumplings, gently put down her bowl and chopsticks, not daring to look directly into Lin Zhengjun's eyes, and said softly: "Thank you!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "I want to know why you didn't report the Wei family for killing Zhang Wanyi. What are you worried about?"

He Fengying's body trembled slightly and her eyes struggled.

"Your crime is very minor. If you give up now, it will be considered a meritorious report. At most you will be sentenced to one or two years of re-education through labor, or even be completely acquitted!"

Lin Zhengjun analyzed the pros and cons: "All the Wei family members will be shot. Although the stolen money and property will be confiscated, the legal income including the house and farm tools will be left to you!"

"Then you can marry Wei Shanlin and live with him openly. You don't have to be sneaky anymore. Your family of four will be together in harmony. Isn't that wonderful?"

He Fengying hesitated for a moment, shook her head gently, and still refused to say anything.

"There are no police here, so you can speak without worry."

Lin Zhengjun knew that her psychological defenses were about to collapse, so he tried to persuade her: "I know you are not a bad person, you must have your reasons."

"If this matter is beneficial to you, I will tell the police. If it is not beneficial to you, I will pretend that I don't know anything, and you won't lose anything."

"The Wei family has something on me."

He Fengying hesitated for another minute before she trembled and whispered softly, "If it's exposed, not only will I go to jail, but my family will also be implicated..."

"What handle?"

"A letter."

"A letter?" Lin Zhengjun frowned slightly.

"Yeah. When I was in high school, Sino-Soviet relations were very good."

He Fengying took a deep breath and said, "At that time, there was a Soviet female expert named Dongnia staying at the county high school. I had a very good relationship with her!"

"Around 60, because the proposal for the combined fleet was rejected, all Soviet experts withdrew, and she left with them. A few years later, she asked someone in Northeast China to forward a letter to me."

"It was all in Russian. I couldn't understand what it was, so I hid it at home."

"At that time, Wei Shanhu was pursuing me. He came to my house and accidentally found out about it. He used this to threaten me to marry him, otherwise he would report me. At that time, the situation on Zhenbao Island was very tense. Once I was handed over to the government, I would become a traitor, spy, and counter-revolutionary who colluded with foreign countries. I would go to jail, and my parents would also be implicated..."

"Do you know where he hid the letter?" Lin Zhengjun asked, "I can find the letter and ask someone to help you look at the contents..."

Since the 60s, Sino-Soviet relations have gradually deteriorated, especially in 1969, when they were full of gunpowder, and anti-revisionism became the mainstream ideology.

At this time, if anyone received a letter from the Soviet Union, it would be no small matter. A wrong word in it could bring you to eternal damnation.

"How do I know?"

He Fengying smiled bitterly: "If I knew, I would risk my life to get it back. Wei Shanhu is hiding very well!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "Okay, don't worry, I will handle it carefully!"

After the meeting, He Fengying returned to the women's cell, and Lin Zhengjun asked He Jian to bring Wei Shanhu to the meeting room.

As soon as he saw Lin Zhengjun, Wei Shanhu roared angrily: "Lin Zhengjun, you bastard, you will die a miserable death! As soon as I get out, I will kill your whole family!"

"How dare you threaten people in front of the police!"

He Jian held the baton and fired wildly at his head.

Wei Shanhu was beaten until his head was covered in blood and he became completely obedient, but he still looked at Lin Zhengjun with resentment and grinned.

Let He Jian take all the police out.

Lin Zhengjun said coldly: "Wei Shanhu, you have no chance to come out. He Fengying has agreed to accuse you of raping and killing Zhang Wanyi!"

Wei Shanhu's eyes were firm, and he said in a contemptuous tone: "Lin Zhengjun, don't bluff me. It's impossible. It's impossible! How dare she do that? Even if you beat her to death, she won't dare!"

"Why doesn't she dare!"

Lin Zhengjun said murderously: "You are going to die soon, and if she reports the crime, she will be released immediately, inherit your house, and marry Wei Shanlin!"

"I forgot to tell you, after medical examination, your two children are actually Wei Shanlin's children."

"Haha, this is so funny. You, Wei Shanhu, are a big shot in the Hewan Brigade, but you actually raised Wei Shanlin's child for several years!"

"But this is not Wei Shanlin's fault. He and you were in love before you got married. Wei Shanlin sowed the seeds and succeeded in getting twins. It was you who took advantage of your strength to break them up!"

"Bitch! I've suspected her for a long time. I was wondering why those two little bastards were born a month early!"

Wei Shanhu couldn't stand it any longer and went completely crazy. He smashed the table with handcuffs and screamed angrily: "Lin Zhengjun, tell the police quickly that He Fengying is an enemy spy and colludes with foreign countries. I have evidence that she is in contact with counter-revolutionaries!"

"Stop accusing people randomly. He Fengying is a well-connected person. She is the women's director of the brigade and the leader of the Iron Lady Assault Team. How could she be an enemy spy?" Lin Zhengjun sneered.

"If I lie to you, my whole family will die!"

Wei Shanhu was determined to drag He Fengying into the water, and shouted loudly: "She received a letter in Russian, but I snatched it away. Now it is hidden under the middle brick under the big bed in the west wing of my house!"

"Haha, enjoy the last good moments of your life!" Lin Zhengjun smiled lazily and walked out of the reception room.

"Zhengjun, please tell the police, I want her to die, I want her to die!" Wei Shanhu shouted.

He Jian rushed forward and said, "Zhengjun, have you found a breakthrough?"

"We found it, but we have to keep it secret first. Don't rush to get off work, wait for me for a while, I'm going back to the Hewan Brigade!" Lin Zhengjun pulled Tang Xiaofu out of the county public security bureau in a hurry.

……

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, at Wei Shanhu's home in Hewan Brigade.

Lin Zhengjun crawled out from under the bed, holding an envelope wrapped in oil paper in his hand.

"Open it quickly and see what's written. I understand Russian." Tang Xiaofu used a handkerchief to wipe the spider web off Lin Zhengjun's head.

Lin Zhengjun nodded, opened the envelope and took a look, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not a letter of rebellion at all, but an ordinary letter..."

It turned out that this Soviet female expert, Dongnia, was helping the Huaibian County Agricultural Machinery Factory install machine tools at the time.

The Soviet experts withdrew in a hurry and did not take the machine tools with them. However, they took away all the Russian technical manuals. Without the manuals, the machine tools could not operate.

But she was always thinking about it, so she took the risk of copying a Russian technical manual and went to the border to hand it over to a smuggler from the Northeast to be passed on to the Huaibian County government.

But this man from the Northeast was originally doing illegal things, so how could he be willing to deal with the government? He would definitely not agree.

The female expert could only settle for the next best thing and asked him to find a way to pass it on to He Fengying...

The problem was that He Fengying did not understand Russian. When she was communicating with Dongnia, she used Chinese. She thought it was a letter of rebellion and was instantly caught by Wei Shanhu.

Of course, we can’t blame He Fengying for being timid and cowardly.

In fact, Sino-Soviet relations were tense for a long time, and receiving Russian letters was indeed a serious problem.

Tang Xiaofu looked through it and found that there was indeed no problem. She asked in confusion: "You also know Russian? You didn't learn it when you were in school!"

Starting from 72, the foreign language curriculum in domestic middle schools was changed to English, and Lin Zhengjun had no chance to come into contact with Russian at all.

"At that time, there were several experts who had studied in the Soviet Union and were sent down for reform in a nearby animal shed. I learned a little bit from them..." Lin Zhengjun started talking.

In fact, Lin Zhengjun learned Russian when he went to Russia to do business in the 90s in his previous life.

In 1991, in another time and space, someone accomplished the feat of "trading canned food for airplanes" out of nothing, making a profit of million yuan and becoming famous throughout the country.

Many people saw the business opportunities in Sino-Russian trade and went to Siberia to do business. Lin Zhengjun also joined the gold rush. It was at that time that he learned Russian, and his level was quite good...

Tang Xiaofu did not suspect anything and asked, "When are you going to give it to He Jian?"

"Before the night is long and dreams are many, go now!"

Lin Zhengjun made a prompt decision, went out to look at He Fengying's two unfortunate children, and asked, "Do you miss your mother?"

"I think……"

The girl Wei Yushu's eyes instantly turned red, and she whispered in a crying voice.

Lin Zhengjun said: "Don't be sad, come with me to see your mother!"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhengjun!" Wei Yushu immediately burst into laughter.

Lin Zhengjun drove a tractor and brought his two children to Wei Shanlin's house again.

Wei Shanlin immediately pulled him into the room, closed the door and said, "Zhengjun, why are you here?"

Lin Zhengjun went straight to the point: "Shanlin, do you want to marry He Fengying?"

"Zhengjun, I didn't do it. I didn't do it. Don't talk nonsense. Fengying and I are innocent!" Wei Shanlin's old face turned red and he immediately denied it three times.
