In fact, Zhao Jianshe was not short of money at all. He often carried 10 to 20 Yuan in his pocket. To be able to fork out 5 Yuan was considered a luxury in times like these, let alone 20.
Besides, for a young man who hadn’t formed his own family and bore no responsibility, it was impossible to give him a lot of money. Too much money? coming from him would be eye-catching. Therefore, it was more likely to be remembered and investigated.
Who would have thought that something was going to happen?
Zhao Anpin didn’t reflect on his plan to frame Han Qingsong as he just felt that he should have thought things through on a clearer scale and avoided being that careless. He had underestimated Han Qingsong. If he had known… No, this mud leg must be targeting me on purpose. If the bribes didn’t work out on him, why would he still be trying to go against me?
Zhao Jianshe saw that there was no hope of him being released. He also knew that he was going to be deprived of his privileges and had to suffer together with the others, so he began to roll around on the ground shamelessly.
His parents were also crying at the gates of the Revolutionary Committee, desperately trying to rush in to take their son. Nevertheless, they were stopped by the soldiers who were stationed as guards.
“My son, Jianshe, you have suffered…” His father and mother cried heart-rendingly as if they were parting from each other in the realm of life and death.
Zhao Jianshe was still rolling around on the ground as Zhao Anpin looked slumped and said nothing.
“Zhao Jianshe, if you don’t leave right now, you wouldn’t need to go to the labour camp either,” Luo Haicheng said coldly.
Zhao Jianshe looked at him in horror, “You- what are you trying to do?”
Luo Haicheng sneered, “Resisting arrest? We can kill him on the spot!!”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to draw out his gun. At the same time, several soldiers also did the same as they started loading their own with bullets!
Zhao Jianshe jumped up violently and ran forward like a rabbit, shouting, “Don’t shoot, I’ll go, I’ll go, alright…”
After giving Zhao Jianshe the fright of his life, Luo Haicheng bid farewell to Han Qingsong as he escorted the convicts in.
Han Qingsong said to Han Qingyun, who was beside him, “You go with Captain Luo.”
Han Qingyun happily agreed, “Sister-in-law, Xiaowang, I’ll take my leave.”
Lin Lan waved at him, “Go.”
Xiaowang was still obsessed with his new harmonica as he fiddled with it.
Han Qingsong and his family did not travel from the County Hospital and instead, chose a different route. Towards the northern part of the road were the cinemas and the Theatre of the Workers, Farmers and Military.
Lin Lan couldn’t help but gasp when she saw a familiar figure again.
Han Qingsong stopped immediately, “Do you want to go to the movies?”
Lin Lan didn’t have much interest in movies at this time, not that they weren’t great, but mainly because she wasn’t used to the older settings and the somewhat lacking performance when it came to acting and content.
She said, “I don’t want to watch a movie, but do you see that girl? Isn’t that our village’s Xiuyun?”
Han Qingsong, “Who is it?”
Lin Lan, “…It’s the Security Director’s daughter!”
Han Qingsong snorted, “I guess…Well, something must have happened for her to be here.”
At first, Han Qingsong wanted to say that she probably came to the County to play, but then he remembered that it was the autumn harvest, which was a time where one couldn’t ask for leave unless there was something important. The Security Director was always very responsible in carrying out his duties, so it was impossible for his family to take the lead in asking for a leave of absence.
Something must be going on.
