Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Du Lin glanced at Dabao and Yu Zecheng, and seeing that they had no expression on their faces, he became even more uneasy and didn't know what to say next.

Yu Zecheng said coldly.

"Tell the truth. If you lie even a word, I'll blow your head off."

Dabao sneered.

"Don't use those Spring and Autumn literary tricks to cover up the truth. You don't have much time left. You only have two and a half minutes left. Do you think you can finish?"

Du Lin said quickly.

"At that time, I was helping my second uncle, Du Qifeng, and at night I took two people to disguise as bandits and ambush another candidate for county magistrate. However, we were discovered by Chen Taohua, who recognized me and wanted to take me to the land reform work meeting to confess my guilt, saying that I was a bad person who was sabotaging the land reform.

I was so scared that I pushed her away and ran away. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a daughter prematurely that night. Du Qifeng was afraid that she would cause trouble again, so he sent her back to Baoziyu.

I originally thought she would be quiet, but who knew she would actually write a letter of denunciation against me and Du Qifeng? It's really strange, she has never been able to read a single word..."

At this time, Yu Zecheng was already in tears, and he murmured.

"So you gave birth to a daughter for me. It's a daughter, Cuiping, Cuiping, you've suffered so much..."

"Somehow that letter of accusation fell into Du Qifeng's hands, and he called me over to discuss how to kill Chen Taohua. But Chen Taohua used to be the leader of the guerrillas, and now half of the people in the land reform work team are her subordinates.

It’s impossible to kill her openly…”

The more Du Lin spoke, the weaker he became, and his voice became smaller and smaller. He had now entered a vicious circle, and you couldn't stop him from speaking.

"I, we discussed it. Chen Taohua never said who the father of the child was. Du Qifeng asked me to spread rumors everywhere, saying that the guerrilla leader Chen Taohua was hooking up with wild men. She didn't want to be a good girl, but insisted on being a whore. Could it be that the father of the child was a defeated soldier? That's why she didn't dare to say it.

The rumor spread more and more widely, and the patriarch of the Chen family in Baoziyu held a meeting and asked Chen Taohua to hand over the father of her child. Chen Taohua kept saying that she got married with the consent of the organization. When asked who the father of her child was, she refused to say, saying that all this was the organization's discipline and must be kept secret.

She was asked to find proof from the organization, but she couldn't find it. Du Qifeng then sent someone to find the clan leader and asked him to lock up the mother and daughter who were violating social norms.

The clan leader did not dare to disobey Du Qifeng's order, so he locked Chen Taohua and her bastard up on the mountain top, gave her a small piece of land, and asked her to support herself. He would not allow her to leave the mountain until she told him who the wild man was.

Why is this woman so stubborn? She refuses to reveal who that strange man is. Every morning and evening, she stands on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, as if waiting for someone.

A few years later, Du Qifeng and I had long forgotten Chen Taohua, and later we heard that she had died of illness..."

Du Lin's voice became weaker and weaker, and he finally fainted.

Dabao waved his hand, and two soldiers carried him out for treatment.

At this time, Yu Zecheng and Mu Wanqiu were crying and out of breath. Yu Zecheng never expected that Cuiping would end up so tragically.

He gritted his teeth and said,

"The organization clearly said they would properly arrange for Cuiping and the child. Why did this happen? Was all my hard work over the years worth it? Was it worth it?"

Dabao patted his shoulder and walked out. Dabao felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart and he could hardly breathe.

Did they resent the underground party organization at the time? At that time, they were also living under the enemy's butcher knife, and their lives were in danger at any time. It was impossible for them to be comprehensive. After liberation, Yu Zecheng's file was handed over, and the contact person at the time was replaced, and no one cared about Cuiping and her daughter anymore.

This situation was caused not only by human factors but also by the war years.

Yu Zecheng staggered out, looked at the starry sky, and sat down dejectedly on the steps.

Dabao sighed, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lit two, and handed one to Yu Zecheng.

Yu Zecheng seldom smokes. For safety reasons, he never smokes cigarettes handed to him by others. This time, he took the cigarette handed to him by Dabao without hesitation and took a deep puff.

Fortunately, he was smoking special cigarettes, the tobacco was soft and mellow, not so spicy, otherwise such a big puff would have knocked him over.

Yu Zecheng exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a wry smile.

"Director Qin, the capital was about to be liberated, and Wu Jingzhong took me to the airport. I actually had a chance to escape, but Cuiping rushed over. She leaned over behind the car window and silently told me to stay. She and the children were waiting for me...

In the end, because of my personality, I was hesitant and missed the chance to escape. The people I feel most sorry for in my life are Cuiping and the child..."

Dabao smoked slowly, he hesitated for a long time before saying,

"Lao Yu, after you pick up the child, take Mu Wanqiu and the child with you. You can go to Haojiang or Xiangjiang. If you want to go abroad, go find Lao Guo to arrange for you to go abroad!"

Yu Zecheng turned to look at Dabao in astonishment. He didn't understand what Dabao meant at all, so Dabao decided to explain it to him.

"You lost contact with the organization for twelve days while traveling from the capital to Lingnan. This is a stain on your record. Unless you can find someone from your own group to corroborate your claims, you will have to undergo a lengthy investigation. This type of investigation may be very cruel, and you may not be able to accept it.

Also, I have read the files. Mu Wanqiu was born into a reactionary family. Her uncle was a big traitor, and her ex-husband was also a heinous spy.

There is a class theory in the country now. For someone like her, the best outcome is to be exiled to a village and be supervised and watched by the people.

I originally thought I'd find a chance to tell you after arriving in the capital, but now, after thinking it over, I'd rather tell you before we go. It's up to you to decide whether to stay or leave, but I can tell you clearly that you might be able to pass, but Mu Wanqiu definitely won't."

Dabao stood up and patted Yu Zecheng on the shoulder.

"Old Yu, make a decision now, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Since you have been with me for a while, just treat these words of mine as a token of our deep understanding."

Yu Zecheng fell into deep thought. He had no relatives, no friends, and only Mu Wanqiu, who was with him day and night. It would be a lie to say that they had no feelings for each other.

But he is a person who has received orthodox education, has faith and is responsible. Since the organization approved him and Cui Ping to become husband and wife, he has kept his feelings deep in his heart for ten years.

Faced with the choice at this moment, what should he do? He believed Dabao's words 100%. At Dabao's level, there was no need to lie to him.

Dabao opened the door and was about to enter the room when Yu Zecheng stood up and shouted in a trembling voice.

"Director, I..."
