004: Old Grudges (2 Updates)

Yes, family!

In the darkness, Tang Hongen smiled.

If he wasn't a member of the family, the wound wouldn't be so deep if he stabbed him like this.

"Ji Ya and I left Mr. Song within two years of our marriage. Mr. Song chose Southern Henan Province for me and asked me to start from the grassroots level and learn more about people's livelihood and economy. I went to work in Southern Henan Province for the third year. , arranged jobs for my elder brother and sister-in-law in southern Henan."

This is normal.

Tang Hongen is not the only person with unrealistic ideals. His brother and sister-in-law have raised him for several years. Although he is not yet prosperous, if he can help him, he will naturally not let his brother and sister-in-law continue to dig in the soil.

The couple both went to work in southern Henan. The eldest brother was arranged to work in the factory, while the eldest sister-in-law worked in the office canteen as a logistics worker.

It was too late to transfer the household registration. At that time, it was difficult to transfer the rural household registration to the urban household registration. You had to wait in line slowly to get a formal job. Tang Hongen was just an ordinary cadre, not like today -

"Then the situation started to become unstable. Some people wanted to deal with Mr. Song and take action on me. Because I didn't make any mistakes, they looked for a breakthrough from my side. Somehow, they persuaded my elder brother. They 'reported' me under real names and yelled. Just draw a clear line with me."

Liu Fen was dumbfounded.

Tang Hongen smiled, he hadn't gone into too much detail yet.

It is common to draw clear boundaries. His eldest brother also has a family and cannot be dragged down by him.

But he reported him with his real name and took the lead in criticizing him. Even the past that he liked to read foreign masterpieces when he was a boy was found out and used as evidence. This is very... So when Jiya filed for divorce, Tang Hongen felt that it was not a fault, because There is also his brother and sister-in-law as the reference group. The Ji family only protects themselves and does not add insult to injury!

Tang Hongen suffered a lot for several years, and his stomach problems were the sequelae of that time.

Not only hungry and full, but also stressed...

Of course, the situation improved again later.

He became the first batch of cadres to be rehabilitated.

They didn't say anything about turning around and taking revenge on their brother and sister-in-law. They were so frightened that they didn't even want to work, so they left Henan and returned to their hometown.

He doesn't retaliate, he is generous.

It is definitely impossible for him to help his brother and sister-in-law without any grudge.

His brother and sister-in-law are also quite tough. In recent years, Tang Hongen has not returned to his hometown, and the two of them have never visited Tang Hongen. Tang Hongen sends money to his hometown once a year to support his parents' tombs. The tradition of sweeping graves has been discontinued in Tang Hongen's place, so he can just miss it in his heart. For him, it is not an indispensable sense of ritual.

"The year before last, when Secretary Peng was still with me, he said that my eldest brother was sick and not in good health. So I was not surprised to hear the news that he was gone today."

The more Tang Hongen downplayed it, the tighter Liu Fen's heart became.

She couldn't help but rest her head on Tang Hongen's shoulder.

I felt depressed for a while and didn't know what to say to comfort my husband.

So, is this person really alone? Has he been alone for more than ten years?

When you need family support the most, you are alone.

Most people may become particularly indifferent after experiencing Lao Tang's events, but Lao Tang is not like this... On the train a few years ago, Lao Tang didn't know Xiaolan, but he took the initiative to help Xiaolan. Unfamiliar people might think Lao Tang was cold, but she knew that this man's heart was extremely hot.

"It's all over!"

Yes, it's all over.

He didn't take revenge, he just ignored his brother and sister-in-law, and he didn't see how well they lived as a couple.

He didn't even have the chance to transfer his urban household registration. He lost his job and ran back to his hometown. Not only was he afraid of his revenge, but during the turbulent years, his eldest brother really offended many people. Later, most of those people were rehabilitated, so his eldest brother was naturally very scared.

Now that people are dead, there is nothing to pursue.

It can only be said that fate has its way with people.

If the family had worked together to survive those years, his brother and sister-in-law's family would certainly not be stuck in their hometown doing nothing now.

After hearing these old stories, Liu Fen felt very sorry for Tang Hongen and had doubts:

"My eldest brother passed away and my eldest sister-in-law contacted you again. Do you want to resolve the grudges?"

She could only think this way, after all, it was Tang Hongen's sister-in-law who took the initiative to make the call.

But the other party's attitude was really... not as good as her sister Liu Fang. Liu Fang lowered her attitude even if she wanted to resume walking with her. What Tang Hongen's sister-in-law did in front of the mourning hall left Liu Fen speechless.

"Maybe I want to resolve it. I thought that when my eldest brother died and I went back to attend the funeral, we would have a relationship. Ah Fen, not everyone in this world is smart. They don't know that if they want to get something, they have to pay first. What they want to get The more they have, the lower they have to bend. They want to get a lot of things, but they still have airs!"

Do you think that the dead person is so big that he will bow his head obediently in front of a group of people from his hometown?

In fact, he doesn't care about these things.

His sister-in-law, during these years of living in the country, has become more and more like a frog in the well, and she still looks at him with the same eyes as in the past. Then he is destined to disappoint her!

Tang Hongen's discomfort was not due to his sister-in-law knocking off the incense, but because people he no longer wanted to interact with reappeared in his life.

Although he now has a happy family, he still feels uneasy when he thinks of the past.

Maybe the level is not high enough.

Tang Hongen couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was also a layman.

Liu Fen snorted softly, "You're not happy. After my eldest brother is buried, we will go back to Pengcheng and won't have anything to do with your sister-in-law. Whether she is putting on airs or playing tricks, it's all with us. It doesn't matter!"

Tang Hongen had similar ideas.

"We should go back in three days. Don't tell Xiaolan about this. The couple just got married."

Relatives are relatives, and asking Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng to attend the funeral of relatives whom they had never met before would give his sister-in-law too much face!

Liu Fen thought of Tang Hongen's sister-in-law's attitude and did not want her daughter and son-in-law to suffer.

She can criticize others, because she is of the same generation, and her daughter is a junior. If she is embarrassed by Tang Hongen's sister-in-law, isn't she wronged in vain?

All mothers feel that their children need to be protected, and Liu Fen doesn't even think about it. If Xia Xiaolan's temper is replaced, she can make Tang Hongen's relatives in her hometown cry today -

Tang Hongen asked Liu Fen to go to bed quickly, but Liu Fen did not fall asleep. She was thinking about what Tang Hongen said in a few words:

"...the lost girl, have you ever looked for her?"

Tang Hongen sighed, "Why haven't I looked for her? I have tried all kinds of methods. She was only a few years old when she was lost. If she had been raised by others, she would have forgotten what happened when she was a child."

This is also Tang Hongen's regret.

He still remembered that his little sister was very good, but she had a falling out with her only brother. Tang Hongen missed her even more.

Unfortunately, he was only in his teens at the time and didn't have many resources to find it.

When he had the resources, time passed and many years passed, but there were still no clues. This is different from how Grandma Yu asked Xiaolan to go to the United States to find her son's family. Xu Zhongyi's family of three had a definite destination and sent letters to the country. As for his lost little sister... he didn't even know if she was still alive. How? try to find?
