Chapter 139 must be explained
Zhuang Qingxiang felt like she was about to collapse. Everyone thought she knew about Lu Congyue, but she knew nothing at all.
It's one thing for people who know Lu Congyue and the child to ask, but why is Li Shengnan asking her when she doesn't know her at all?
This is so annoying!
"I don't know. You'll probably have to ask Director Lu about these things," Zhuang Qingxiang said, repeating her previous statement.
"Shengnan, look, I have to take care of the child, I really don't have time to entertain you, the factory is so busy, you see..."
Although the invitation to leave was tactful, Li Shengnan understood it perfectly. She glanced at Zhuang Qingxiang and the two babies, raised an eyebrow, and took her leave.
With no outsiders around, Zhuang Qingxiang raised her hand to her chest, tears welling up in her eyes.
I'm so scared.
I'm really scared.
When she was questioned today, they actually wanted to send the two children away. If they had actually sent them away then, she probably wouldn't have been able to get out.
Fortunately, she had Xiao Donghua with her at the time, so they didn't dare to do anything.
What should we do next?
Zhuang Qingxiang paced around the room in frustration.
Although she rarely went out, she had heard from the Qian family about the outcomes of those who were arrested and interrogated.
Now we just hope the Qian family won't talk nonsense.
As Zhuang Qingxiang was thinking this, Qian Dayou had already been summoned for questioning.
When he received the notification, Qian Dayou cursed Zhuang Qingmiao, who had been dead for many years, in his heart.
Damn it, if he had known that marrying a woman like this would bring him no peace, he shouldn't have married her in the first place.
"Qian Dayou, do you even know who your wife is?"
Qian Dayou was terrified: "Two leaders, my wife's name is Cao Xiang, we're from Hongyang Brigade, yes, yes..."
"Qian Dayou!" Li Zhi slammed his hand on the table. "Don't play dumb! We're not asking about your current wife, but your ex!"
"Before, before that... her name was Zhuang Qingmiao, but she died young, she passed away after only two years of marriage to me." Qian Dayou stammered, sweat beading on his forehead. "What happened to her? Comrade, she's been dead for so many years, what could possibly have to do with me?"
Qian Dayou almost knelt down and kowtowed, crying and pleading that he had nothing to do with Zhuang Qingmiao, and even if there was something, she had been dead for twenty years, and that debts should be settled after death, so he shouldn't be implicated.
Qian Dayou cried so sincerely, so heartbreakingly, that Li Zhi and Wang Shengli were stunned.
They've investigated quite a few people over the years, and most of them are aloof and arrogant. It's rare to see someone as shameless and brazen as this.
They really are country bumpkins...
Li Zhi coughed and said, "Qian Dayou, calm down! Even though Zhuang Qingmiao is dead, her daughter is still alive, isn't she? Explain your actions regarding her!"
Qian Dayou: "Huh? What's the problem?"
"Qian Dayou, don't play dumb! Zhuang Qingxiang has lived with you for so many years, don't you know her background?"
Qian Dayou trembled slightly, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
"Zhuang Qingxiang was just a child when she came with Zhuang Qingmiao. She followed Zhuang Qingmiao into my house. She's a very honest person, everyone in the village knows that, so there's really nothing more to say. Oh, by the way, she's working at Factory Director Lu's house now. You can ask her if you want to know anything."
Qian Dayou wasn't lying, but Zhuang Qingxiang had been honest and capable since childhood.
As for the rest, there's nothing much, but he knows her background; Zhuang Qingmiao told him about it after she married him.
But he dares not admit it now, for fear of being implicated in the affairs of the Zhuang family in the capital.
Zhuang Qingxiang said that he should just deny it to the death, and that was the only thing he could do for now.
Li Zhi and Wang Shengli questioned Qian Dayou repeatedly for a long time but couldn't get any information. Seeing that Qian Dayou's face was covered in snot and tears and he looked disgusting, they simply ended the questioning and let him leave.
It was already dark when Village Chief Qian came in, trembling with fear, to ask them if they wanted to eat now, or if they should ask someone else.
Li Zhi and Wang Shengli were not going to treat themselves badly, so they asked Village Chief Qian to prepare some delicious food for them, and then they discussed the matter while eating.
"Should we call that Qian Haoqing over and ask him?" Li Zhi asked.
Wang Shengli glanced at Village Chief Qian and asked, "Village Chief Qian, do you know anything about Qian Haoqing?"
"We're all from this village, so of course we know," Village Chief Qian hurriedly explained Qian Haoqing's situation.
Wang Shengli was somewhat disappointed: "I doubt we'll get any information out of him. How long was Zhuang Qingmiao when he died?"
Li Zhi agreed, especially since his surname was Qian, not Zhuang. Even if Zhuang Qingxiang had something to say, she wouldn't tell someone with the surname Qian.
"We can only conduct further investigations and interview Zhuang Qingxiang again," Li Zhi said.
Wang Shengli nodded; this was the only option for now.
They consider their mission complete as long as they can uncover even the slightest suspicious detail.
Village Chief Qian listened from the side and secretly groaned.
If we were to question Zhuang Qingxiang again, things probably wouldn't be as easy as they are today.
Village Chief Qian was also afraid of taking responsibility, so that night he sent his son to the factory to tell the security guards to look for Zhuang Qingxiang.
Zhuang Qingxiang ran out upon hearing the news. Seeing that it was Village Chief Qian's son, she quickly went up to greet him. After listening to what he had to say, she bit her lip, smiled, and took out two yuan from her pocket to hand over to him.
People are kind enough to help deliver messages, so I have to give them something in return to feel at ease.
But no one dared to take the money. The village chief's son sent word and left quickly, afraid that if he stood with Zhuang Qingxiang for too long, he would be seen by others.
Li Zhi and Wang Shengli acted quickly, and this time they came directly to the factory. The office and the union sent people to help watch over Zhuang Qingxiang's children and took her out for questioning.
After leaving the factory, Zhuang Qingxiang felt completely uncertain and was so nervous that she felt like vomiting.
"Comrade Wang, Comrade Li, where are you taking me?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked cautiously.
"Just come with us, and don't ask questions you shouldn't!" Li Zhi said irritably.
Soon, they brought Zhuang Qingxiang back to Dongya Village.
The questioning did not take place in the office, but in a windowless warehouse.
As soon as the door closed, the two began interrogating Zhuang Qingxiang about her relationship with Zhuang Luping, whether they were still in contact, whether she had taken anything from the Zhuang family home, and whether Zhuang Luping had sent her any messages while he was abroad…
All sorts of questions about Zhuang Luping were thrown at her, and Zhuang Qingxiang had to explain them until her throat was dry.
But Li Zhi and Wang Shengli didn't believe her at all. They gave her a pen and some paper and told her to think it over carefully, confess everything she could, and write it in detail in order to get leniency.
Then they left her in this warehouse, refusing to let her out no matter how much she pounded on the door or begged.
Zhuang Qingxiang trembled in the warehouse.
She's been locked up!
They've really been locked up!
Just like I'd heard before, they'd eventually force her to confess and then send her to a labor camp...
She can't get out, but what about her child?
Zhuang Qingxiang is completely at a loss. Her surname Zhuang is her original sin, and the blood of Zhuang Luping in her veins is her original sin. She can't explain it!
