It's so hard, I'm dressed like a group favorite in the 1960s
Chapter 341 Paying for Your Own Actions
Before the old lady finished speaking, Uncle Wu couldn't wait to take over the conversation: "In the end, you chose to remain silent, and then turned around and left as a matter of course without any nostalgia." After saying that, Uncle Wu couldn't help shaking his head, as if he found it difficult to understand the old lady's decision back then.
"After my investigation, I found out that you actually knew about that matter a long time ago.
However, what I never expected was that the situation you knew was actually like this!" At this point, Uncle Wu smiled bitterly, as if he felt that the whole thing was full of absurdity and irony.
This irony is directed not only at the old lady but also at this group of people.
The old lady slowly raised her head, staring into the distance with a somewhat dull gaze, and muttered to herself, "That's right, I tossed and turned that night, and experienced countless fierce struggles in my heart.
However, when daybreak came, I still made the difficult decision - to remain silent.
When the man found me and asked me to leave, I silently took the money he handed over and left without hesitation.
From that moment on, I was like a frightened bird, fleeing forever from this once familiar land.
I also forgot the idea of taking the girl away at that time.
You could also say I don’t want to do it anymore, and I don’t dare to do it anymore.”
For the next 20 years, the old lady never set foot on this land filled with so many memories and pains for her.
Moreover, during these long years, her life was not happy. Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, those past memories would always flood back into her mind like a tide, turning into nightmares that tightly entangled her.
At this moment, the old lady could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart. She stretched out her hands in pain, covering her face tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she sobbed softly.
At this moment, the old lady calmed down a little and continued, "Until one day, Liu Hai found me. He told me that he hoped I could help identify the man and his wife.
The moment I heard this, my heart skipped a beat, and I immediately realized that the secret that I had buried deep in my heart would eventually be revealed to the public..."
"However, for so many years, even though I was afraid of nightmares, I still didn't have the courage to face my true self.
Looking back, when my child and husband unfortunately passed away, I actually forgot the grief. For the next three years, I was obsessed with developing feelings for such a despicable person.
What is even more heartbreaking is that when I saw through their evil plan, instead of standing up to expose the truth, I chose to leave quietly and remain silent.
Over the years, I have blamed myself all the time, and I find it difficult to let go of the decision I made.
Just before arriving at this old house, Liu Hai first took me to identify those key figures, and then he told me the whole story about the mysterious disappearance of your eldest lady's child.
When I heard that their cruel plan had succeeded, my heart was like a raging storm, and I fell into extreme panic.
So I didn’t dare admit it at first.”
At this moment, the old lady was already sobbing, and she continued to talk in a trembling voice about the long-forgotten past and the endless torture and suffering she had endured in the past 20 years.
It’s a pity that no matter how much she suffers, she can no longer make up for the mistakes she has made. After all, time flies and can never be returned!
Jiang Junjun, who was standing aside and listening quietly, couldn't help but fall into deep thought: I wonder if in another parallel time and space, her beautiful mother could travel back 20 years and successfully prevent the tragedy from happening?
But it was just a thought. After all, in this time and space, the facts of twenty years ago could not be changed, and the damage had already been done.
Grandma, I really can't forgive the mistakes you have made on behalf of my mother, grandparents, my uncle, Uncle Wu, and other relatives who are sitting here.
Aren't you unable to forgive yourself?
However, at this moment, I still want to sincerely thank you for having the courage to tell the story of what happened twenty years ago.
Because of your confession, we were able to quickly push forward the resolution of this difficult matter, thus preventing more innocent people from being implicated and harmed.
However, due to various considerations, I'm afraid you will have to stay here for a while.
After all, it's relatively safer here, so you can stay here with peace of mind."
The old lady nodded in agreement.
Jiang Junjun stared at her uncle Murong Chen's face which was filled with pain and sorrow, and her heart ached, filled with pity.
Then, she slowly turned her gaze to the old lady and continued:
"Moreover, I firmly believe that after you resolutely reveal the secret that has been buried deep in your heart for so many years today, your heart will surely become more open and relieved. I believe that from now on, you will no longer be disturbed by nightmares.
In a sense, this can be considered as a spiritual redemption for yourself!"
After a brief pause, Jiang Junjun said to the old lady earnestly, "Grandma, I sincerely hope that you can live an honest and clear conscience in the future.
In addition, I might as well tell you a truth now - the man you loved deeply back then was not that simple. As far as I know, he was most likely a deeply hidden spy!
His plan with that woman wasn't just to kidnap my mother."
The old lady had her head lowered, seemingly immersed in her own thoughts.
When she heard what Jiang Junjun said, her body trembled violently, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face. She slowly raised her head and looked straight at Jiang Junjun, as if she wanted to confirm from her expression whether what she heard was true.
At this moment, Uncle Wu, who had been silent, spoke up: "Junjun is absolutely right. During my recent in-depth investigation, I did find that the man frequently maintained close contact with the R countrymen." His voice was low and serious, revealing a solemn atmosphere.
After hearing what Uncle Wu said, the old lady felt like she was struck by lightning and instantly lost all her strength.
Her legs went limp and she collapsed into the chair beside her. Her face turned pale as paper and her lips trembled involuntarily.
"Oh my God! Then... then am I not helping the evil? I actually helped them harm their own country without knowing it!" The old lady's voice was tearful, full of regret and self-blame.
