The revolution is still going on, the struggle has not stopped, but life goes on.

After returning home from the criticism meeting, the stone pillar first became the object of the family's "criticism". Shi Yushi was the first to attack, she put her crutches on the ground and said, "Zhuzi, you said that it is not good for you to report and expose anyone, and you want to provoke the cadres of other people's brigades!" You are a flat-headed common man, can you get rid of them? If someone has a gun in their hand, they can knock you off with one shot! ”

"yes, he's there!" The Ji clan was on the same side as Shi Yu's almost every time, although Shi Yu occasionally became delirious and even talked nonsense. "You fight with the cadres of the brigade, it's easy to get into trouble. In case there are three longs and two shorts, the children's future may be affected. ”

Shi Zhu smoked his cigarette pouch and said unhurriedly but quite excitedly: "I just can't get used to seeing these cadres, colluding up and down, putting real bad people and bad things without criticizing and fighting, I want to listen to the slander of villains, indiscriminately buckle big hats for others, and create unjust, false and wrongful cases." I'm targeting them today, and let's see what these cadres do to their families! ”

Shi Yushi said: "Do you think they will deal with their own family? Anyone will bring some food to the house, and this matter will only be over! ”

"I won't tell you! I asked Shi Ye. Shi Zhu felt that his eldest son would support him, "Shi Ye, you say, am I right?" ”

Shi Ye didn't think about it and said: "Hmm, what you said is right, but it is useless to report and expose them, I'm afraid people will retaliate against you!" ”

"Pillar, look, who else in the family supports you? In the future, we have to be careful everywhere, and beware of people retaliating against us! ”

Shi Zhu looked at them, Shi Zhu hadn't come back yet, and it was estimated that she was going to have a meeting of the group members again, and if she was here, maybe she would support herself; Expecting his youngest son Shi Xuan to help him speak is definitely not good. Seeing that no one could stand on his side at this time, Shizhu had no choice but to squat at the door and continue to smoke his cigarette pouch silently.

Two days later, Shi Shuo went to his mother's house to visit relatives, and brought his three-year-old son Wei Lianyi, which made the Shi family very happy. Especially Shi Yu, originally only wanted to live two more years to see her grandson, but she didn't expect Lord Hades to give her a few more years, and now she is eighty-nine years old, even more Lafayette than that Lafayette. Since it is rare to encounter such a high rank in the countryside, the croppers don't know how to call it, so Shi Yushi directly asked Wei Lianyi to call himself "old lady".

After coaxing the child, Shi Shuo got down to business: I came this time to tell Shi Ye a matchmaker, the woman is from Qingshan, surnamed Cao, and Shi Shuo's sister-in-law is in a big team, twenty-three this year, and she is very responsible. There is only one problem, her father was a teacher, but because of a clerical error, he was condemned as an "active counter-revolutionary" and is still being criticized. "Because of this incident, the woman has not found her in-laws until now."

After a brief introduction, Shi Shuo said: "I have seen this woman, she is handsome, diligent, literate, and has a bad temper, but the family is not good, and many people don't want to have anything to do with her." There are matchmakers, but she can't look down on them. I thought, well, the eldest brother is twenty-two years old this year, and it is time to find a daughter-in-law. You discuss, if you don't mind the family composition, do you want to give the eldest brother a meeting with others? ”

While the others were still thinking, Shi Yan was the first to speak: "Well, eldest sister, I firmly disagree!" You can't associate with such a counter-revolutionary family! Not only can you not come and go, but you also have to draw a line with others! ”

Shi Yushi then said: "Zhuzi, I'm old, and I often have a bad brain, so you can make your own decisions about your son's affairs!" I'll just say it, our Shi family has never been confined to red tape, your father and your father used to be like this......"

Shi Zhu put down his cigarette pouch and asked Shi Ye, "Little eldest son, what do you think?" ”

"I don't have any ideas, I just have to live a good life. If you don't want to see it, you just settle down with your mother! ”

"If only the woman could read! Why don't you let the little eldest son go and see it first? Shi Zhu looked at Ji's family, and when he saw that she had no objection, he asked Shi Shuo, "When are people free?" ”

Shi Shuo said: "People are also responsible people, they work in the production team every day, if you want to see it, you can go now!" It's not far, ride a bicycle, and you'll be there in a while! ”

"That's it! Let your big brother clean up, change his clothes, and go with you now! ”

Just as the old lady of the Shi family said, fate is always wonderful. Within two hours, Shi Shuo and Shi Ye's sister and brother came back, with a smile on their faces, the woman agreed at that time, and Shi Ye also fell in love with others!

The second time Shi Ye and Cao Miaomiao met was when they went to the commune to get a marriage certificate a few days later, because the first blind date was in a hurry, and they were embarrassed to look at each other carefully, and they didn't agree to hold a newspaper in their hands or a rose in their mouths, the two almost didn't recognize each other at the door of the commune. If there is another person standing next to you, you may be even more hesitant. Fortunately, Shi Ye remembered Cao Miaomiao's beautiful but melancholy eyes, so he didn't miss it.

The next day, the two families held a wedding. The wedding was very simple, there were no fancy clothes and bride price, just ordinary dress and the red flower on the chest and the *chairman's portrait badge. The dowry of the Cao family was several porcelain pots printed with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes and a thermos.

The Cao family is a "counter-revolutionary" family, no one wants to go to his house to attend the wedding, Cao Miaomiao is the only daughter in the family, and the old couple had to follow their daughter and son-in-law to the Shi family first, this is still a day of vacation that they finally won it. Cao Miaomiao sat on the back seat of the bicycle, holding "* Zedong Anthology", and Shi Ye was pushing all the way in front. There were no gongs and drums, no firecrackers, but under the morning light, their faces were filled with happy smiles.

The Shi family didn't have a few guests, except for the three members of Wei Huo's family and the child in Shi Shuo's belly, Zhuzhuang only came to Zhu Huaiqing as a representative, and they didn't have a good time.

At the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, Zhu Guanglian was first affected, he was condemned as a bourgeoisie, a "capitalist roader", and even the things he did for the Japanese in Lianyungang more than 20 years ago were dug up. At that time, only Zhu Huaiqing stood up and spoke for him without fear: Zhu Huaiqing wiped the corners of his trousers and pointed to the eye-catching gunshot wound on his calf to show the Red Guards, trying to prove that Zhu Guanglian was forced to reluctantly agree to transport goods for the Japanese in order to save himself. But it doesn't serve any purpose.

After an unknown number of criticisms and humiliations, Zhu Guanglian did not survive after all, and he never got up after falling ill last winter. Shizhu Xiaoyan Shen Yueyun's mental state is also very poor, "Her eyes are a little dull, and she looks like a wooden person." Zhu Huaiqing said. They never imagined that after liberation, they had already undergone socialist transformation, and they still could not escape the fate of being criticized! In the end, they still couldn't avoid this catastrophe.

Later, many people in the entire Zhu family were criticized, and most of the charges were related to the events before the liberation. This time, it is not easy for Zhu Huaiqing to come to the wedding of Shizhu's son with the blessings of his family and a tent as a congratulatory gift.

There is an old Chinese saying that "people gather by like, and things are grouped", but disasters are sometimes piled together. A catastrophe is slowly coming towards the Shi family.

This has to start with a "reactionary" parade in the late autumn of this year.

On this day, the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune of the Commune responded to the call from above and organized a "reactionary class" parade to the public, and the "bad elements" of the Guwei Brigade were naturally detained in it. Along the way, they were constantly pointed at by passers-by, and even stoned, and several people were knocked unconscious, and no one could lift their heads.

After coming back, like many people, Liu Bingxi and his wife couldn't stand this insult, anyway, they were both in their seventies, and they had lived enough, so they hanged themselves on the beams of the house. The next day, the eldest son, Liu Xufei, did not see them, and when he went to check, he found two cold, stiff corpses.

In addition to the Liu family, the Ding family also wants to save face. The next day, Ding Taiyu heard that Liu Bingyu and the others had hanged themselves, and he also wanted to find a good life and die, and no longer suffer these insults, but Mrs. Ding left a "heart", she grabbed Ding Taiyu and said: "Old man, I can't stand this nest of sins, and I want to die with you!" But what I can't worry about now is that our son is rich, let's see the situation first, and wait before dying! ”

Later facts proved that Mrs. Ding's worries were right: after the death of the old couple of the Liu family, the Cultural Revolution would say that they were deliberately resisting the revolution, and then on the grounds of repaying the debts of their father, Liu Bingxi's eldest son Liu Xufei was taken into custody for criticism, accused of "young master of the landlord class", and a second crime - "young master of the landlord who has not been reformed".

It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous! However, this is normal in the case of abnormality!

"Old woman, it's good that you stopped me, otherwise I would have died, and the fortune would have suffered!" Ding Taiyu was a little scared when he thought about it. But he couldn't rejoice for a few days, just because he inadvertently killed a yellow wolf, and suddenly he had a strange illness - Ding Taiyu thought that it had been frosted, and it should be fine to kill a yellow wolf, but he didn't think about it or was retaliated by the "Yellow Immortal", who was an old man, and he died after two days.

Although Ding Facai was kicked out of Ding's house, when he heard that his father had died, he still came over to take a look and wanted to send him off for the last ride. Mrs. Ding was naturally happy to see her son coming, but she was a smart person, she first taught Ding Facai a few words, and then deliberately scolded Ding Facai in the yard, pushing and shoving, and drove Ding Facai away.

There is no doubt that after Ding Taiyu's death, the Cultural Revolution Association will also detain Ding Facai to criticize and fight, and call him a "young master of the landlord class".

During the interrogation and investigation of Ding Facai, the acting captain and secretary Tan unexpectedly obtained an important information: the old lady of the Shi family had rented a few acres of land from the Ding family for cultivation forty years ago. Of course, these are all things that Mrs. Ding told Ding to make a fortune.

After getting this information, Dai and Tan were like a treasure, they were already obsessed with Shizhu because of what happened before, and they had been looking for an opportunity to vent this evil breath, this time they finally saw hope, and the opportunity was in front of them. The two looked at each other, and after comprehending it, they broke away from others and quietly reached a deal with Ding Facai.

The weather was very gloomy on this day, and from time to time cold winds blew, which made people's scalps tingle. When it was time for the criticism meeting again, Ding Facai was to be escorted to the stage for criticism as usual, and the crime was still "the young master of the landlord class".

"Say, do you plead guilty or not?" The Red Guard pressed Ding Facai's head and asked viciously.

"I'm not the landlord young master, I'm not guilty!" Ding Facai looked tough and did not have the slightest fear, "I have long been driven out of the Ding family and the family tree by Ding Taiyu, and I am no longer his son!" I am the poor masses, the true proletariat, and by framing me like this, you are attacking the proletariat, a counter-revolutionary act! ”

Hearing this, Secretary Tan motioned for the Red Guards to let go of their hands, and then asked: "Ding Facai, you said that you are a proletarian, is there any evidence?" ”

Ding Facai said: "When Ding Taiyu kicked me out of Ding's house, many people were present. He also signed in public, pressed his handprint, in black and white, and knew it when he checked it! As soon as the words fell, many members in the audience tried their best to prove that Ding Facai was telling the truth, and they were present at the time.

"Even if you are driven out of the Ding family, but before you are driven out, you are still a landlord young master!" The acting captain did not deny Ding Facai's words, "This alone may not be enough to avoid your crime!" ”

"That, that, I'm going to report and expose it, and make up for it!"

"Who are you going to report and expose?"

"I, I want to report and expose the old lady of the Shi family, she is a landlord class!" Ding Facai pointed to Shi Yushi, who was sitting on the stool.

As soon as these words came out, I saw the acting captain slap the table, stood up, and deliberately said: "Ding Facai, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense!" Who doesn't know that the Shi family has been poor peasants for generations! Mrs. Shi is so old, she recruited you to provoke you? How dare you frame someone? ”

"Ding family boy, why do you say that I, the old woman, am a landlord?" Shi Yu also asked.

"I have evidence, she used to buy our Ding family's land and planted it for many years, do you think she is the landlord?"

"You don't chew maggots!" Shi Yushi put his cane on the ground again, "I rented two acres of land from your family, but that was thirty or forty years ago, and many families rented the land of the Ding family and the Liu family to plant, not only my Shi family!" Are they all landlords? ”

"Yes, yes! Our family has also planted it! It was like that back then! The audience chattered again.

Ding Facai retorted: "Your family is different! People rent land when they receive grain, use the grain to pay rent, and the rest belongs to them. Your family bought land with money, and you don't have to pay grain rent. If your family spent money to buy it, it is equivalent to your family's land. Tell me, how many acres of land is there, is her family a landlord? ”

"And this?" Several people in the audience deliberately coaxed, they were all arranged by the two of them, "The land that is bought with money is the landlord!" Even if it is not, then his family is definitely not a poor peasant, if it is a poor peasant, how can he have the money to buy land? ”

"That's right! Our family has been poor peasants for generations, and we can't even eat enough, so how can we still have money to buy land? Isn't this the landlord! ”

"The old lady of the Shi family has deceived us for so many years, this is the landlord class hidden among us!"

Anyway, all the words were deliberately to guide the members, so that everyone believed that the Shi family was the landlord when they bought the land, and they were the landlord class.

Later, I don't know who shouted: "Down with the landlord class!" Long live the proletariat! ”

As soon as the members were shouted by this slogan, they all shouted like a conditional launch: Down with the landlord class! Long live the proletariat!

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, the acting captain was overjoyed, so he pushed the boat down the river and said, "Mrs. Shi, listen, I can't help you anymore!" What else do you have to say? Hurry up and confess your crimes to the next and strive for leniency! ”

"You are planting and slandering! My old woman has lived so long and has never done anything bad! Shi Yushi trembled with anger.

At the signal of the acting captain, several Red Guards immediately came over and wanted to escort Shi Yushi to the stage. Where are Shi Zhu and Shi Ye willing to follow, when they saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward to protect Shi Yu's clan and block the Red Guards.

At this time, the captain slapped the table again and scolded sharply: "Shizhu, your behavior is deliberately resisting the revolution, it is a naked counter-revolutionary act, and this alone can put you in prison, or even be shot!" ”

"Why are you arresting her, she's almost ninety! Something is coming at me! The stone pillar had no other choice but to say.

This is exactly the trap set by the two of them, and what they want is exactly this result. It doesn't mean anything to them to criticize an old woman who is about to die, and what they want to criticize is the stone pillar that has opposed them again and again. Now that the stone pillars have spoken their own words, they will not be left behind.

In fact, the members of the club saw that this was a trumped-up charge, but in that era, few people dared to object.

At this time, Secretary Tan deliberately came out to pretend to be a good person, and said: "Members, I think that Mrs. Shi is indeed old, didn't she say 'father and son repay debts'?" Since Shi Zhu is willing to come out to receive this crime, then we will be lenient, and Mrs. Shi's crime will be borne by her, the eldest grandson! ”

Hearing this, the Red Guards immediately escorted the stone pillar to the stage, and no one could stop it.

As soon as the stone pillar was escorted to the platform, the Red Guards raised their arms and shouted: "We will defeat all class enemies!" The man standing in front of you is the landlord class, and we must resolutely fight against him and draw a line with him! Say, hurry up and confess your family's crimes! ”

Shi Yan, who was standing on the side, didn't understand that the "Red Guard" armband was still shining on his arm, how could his father become a "landlord class"? She desperately shouted in her heart, "Bada is not a landlord, Bada is not a landlord......", but after all, she still didn't dare to shout, so she had to run away from the crowd with tears in her eyes, and hid under the willow tree alone and cried.

"I'm not guilty! Didn't the family divide after liberation? Well, you are not a landlord! "The stone pillar did not give in.

"You are a reactionary class hidden among the masses of the people! If you don't confess your sins, and your sins will be added to the next level, then we will shave your head!" As soon as the words fell, two red generals came over with scissors and made a gesture in front of the stone pillar.

When Shi Ye saw the Red Guards passing over with scissors, he immediately jumped onto the stage, and both Ji and Cao Miaomiao couldn't hold him. As soon as he got to the top, Shi Ye didn't care about the thirty-seven twenty-one, directly snatched the scissors in the hands of the Red Guards, and shouted at them: "Whoever dares to shave his head, I will fight with him!" ”

At this time, Shi Yushi also came to the stage, pointed at the red generals with his cane, and scolded angrily: "Who dares to shave my grandson's head, I will not let him go even if I fight for this life, even if I am a ghost, I will go to him!" ”

Most of these Red Guards were teenagers, in the prime of their youth, and they were innocent and lovely, but the times made them feel that what they were doing was a great revolutionary cause. Where have they ever seen such a scene, someone dares to take away the scissors and threaten them so much. Usually they seem to be fierce and vicious, and they will be afraid in their hearts.

For a while, the Red Guards were also at a loss, so they had to stand in place, not daring to move.

Seeing that the Red Guards were silent, the acting captain slammed the table and stood up. The table shook like a plucked string, and if it had life and could speak, it would have cried out - who have I provoked? You've slapped me like this over and over again!

"Shi Dazi, what do you want to do? Are you going to rebel? The acting captain didn't dare to do anything to Shi Yu's family, so he had to scold Shi Ye.

At this time, the Zhang family took the lead in shouting in the audience: "Even if his family buys land with money, it is only two acres, at most he is a middle peasant and a lower middle peasant, and he can't stand the landlord!" ”

"That's right! Come up and put people on a landlord's hat, how can this work!! "The Luo family, the Jiang family, the Qu family, and so on also spoke.

In fact, many families in the brigade are grateful to Shizhu: Shizhu not only helped the villagers when he went to the countryside to grab grain in Little Japan; After the devil surrendered, in the year of famine, he also managed to get the landlord and various large families to release relief grain, so that the villagers survived the disaster year. They're all thinking about helping the stone pillar right now.

Seeing that the scene had become chaotic, Secretary Tan was also a little worried, although he and the acting captain were the leaders of the Cultural Revolution group of the brigade and had the power to convict people in Guwei, but they still had commune and county-level revolutionary committees above them.

So, Secretary Tan said: "Everyone is quiet! Quiet! Since there is such a big opinion on this matter, then our Cultural Revolution Committee will hold a meeting to discuss it. We can't wronged a good person, and we will never let a bad person go! ”

Only then did the restless crowd gradually quiet down, and the Red Guards let go of the stone pillars.

In the first struggle, although the Shi family temporarily achieved a "small victory", no one could guess what the outcome of the revolutionary committee would discuss, and only the few cadres of the brigade who were still in the brigade headquarters lit foreign oil lamps and had fierce confrontations only knew.

The Shi family spent a difficult night in anxiety.

The next day was still gloomy, but it didn't seem as cold as yesterday. The criticism meeting continues.

The acting captain made the final "verdict": "After the study and decision of the Revolutionary Committee and the Party Committee of the Guwei Brigade, the Shi family is a wealthy middle peasant, not classified as a bourgeoisie, and is the object we need to fight for and unite. However, Shi Zhu's blatant rebellion against the Red Guards and his deliberate opposition to the Revolutionary Committee is an out-and-out counter-revolutionary act, and it is of a very serious nature, and we must resolutely fight against it! ”

As for Ding Facai, the cadres of the brigade said that he was originally a son of the bourgeoisie, but he had meritorious service in reporting and exposing him, and his merits and demerits were offset by his merits, and he was not rewarded or punished.

Subsequently, Secretary Tan picked up a brush and wrote two lines of words on a small plaque - "counter-revolutionary" in the upper line and "stone pillar" in the lower line. This brand flew to the neck of the stone pillar as if it had wings, and it seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, and for a long time after that, it became a symbol of the identity of the stone pillar, so that he couldn't raise his head.

Next, Secretary Tan called on the masses to report and expose Shi Zhu's crimes, and asked everyone to draw a line with him and fight.

At this time, a young man in his twenties came to the stage, a few years ago, he wanted to borrow Shizhu's bicycle to ride, but Shizhu refused, and he has been dissatisfied. "I reported and exposed the Shi family's corruption and petty bourgeoisie. Our brigade used to have a bicycle attached to his house, and he didn't let others ride it, which is an act of detachment from the masses......"

Before the young man could finish speaking, someone shouted below: "I see that many cadres in the commune have bicycles to ride, according to what you say, people are also corrupt and petty bourgeoisie?" If you have the ability, you can go to them and say it! ”

The young man shut up and walked off the stage in a huff.

"Which one else would like to go up and say? Which one else? Secretary Tan asked for a long time, but still no one went up.

The crowd was silent for a long time, and suddenly a tall man stood up with an "ahhh Seeing this, Secretary Tan was like a small grass that had been in drought for a long time, and asked happily: "Okay, Xia Liangmin, what do you have to report and expose?" ”

Xia Liangmin is a "fool" in the brigade, although he is not demented, his head is not as normal as a normal person anyway. He stood in the crowd and said: "I want to say that the Shi family is a big 'capitalist' and lives a rich man's 'petty bourgeoisie' life. Look at the eldest son of the family, and the mother, in the two years of the natural disaster, he starved to death by the scum, and he didn't help the family, and his family still had big fish and meat every day. Well, the women are crying blind! ”

These words sounded like they touched the hearts of the members, but the members didn't buy it, "Who was better off in the past few years of natural disasters?" Starving people to death, that's a common thing, what are you doing to other people? You say his family has big fish and big meat, do you see it? At that time, I couldn't even see a meat star, and I still ate meat! ”

"That's it, that's it! Xia Liangmin, I remember your woman's eyes, she cried blind when she died, you said that the natural disaster in the past few years, how did you put this matter together? Isn't this deliberately misleading? ”

Xia Liangmin was not convinced, and said: "Anyway, the family is poor and bitter, the eldest son of the family and his mother are starving to death, and the woman's eyes are crying blind!" ”

Someone below said: "Xia Liangmin, we all know that your family has a hard life and is a good family, but you can't make it up!" ”

I saw Xia Liangmin rub his buttocks at this time and said, "I didn't want to report and expose it, I don't know which little dog just kicked me!" I've all stood up, if I don't say something, the cadres of the brigade won't punish me! ”

"Ha, ha, ha......" In the laughter of the members, Secretary Tan had no choice but to announce the end of the criticism meeting. This will, it seems to have been a success.

Just as the members got up and were about to leave, a cold wind blew, and a light snow fell in the sky. After a while, the ground was covered with a thin layer of light veil, and the northwest wind rolled up, and in an instant it became mottled again. It is only a few days after the start of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and it snows at this time, which is rare.

It wasn't until everyone was gone that the "bad guys" on the stage were fished home.

As soon as he got home, the Ji family lay on the cold table and cried, and the Shi family seemed to have aged a lot in the past two days. Shi Yushi was also so angry that she was on crutches, not only angry, but also because of self-blame, she sighed: "It's all my fault!" I knew that I wouldn't plant a few acres of land that was extinct, how much food was confiscated, and I made a fuss! ”

"Well, don't be angry, old lady!" Shi Ye comforted her and said, "You can't be blamed for this, everyone has said that the few acres of land you planted are fine." If you want to blame Ding Facai, it must be that he colluded with the cadres of the brigade, just to take revenge! ”

At this time, Ji raised his head, wiped his tears, and said to Shi Ye: "Ye, you hurry to your eldest sister's house early tomorrow morning, and tell her not to come to Guwei for the time being, so as to prevent her family from being implicated!" Now that you're a family, you have to pay attention and keep a little distance from us as much as possible! ”

After agreeing, Shi Ye returned to his home with Cao Miaomiao.

Soon after Shi Ye's young couple got married, the Shi family asked their neighbors to help, found a roof foundation not far away, and built them three earthen houses and a small pot house. As soon as she returned to her home, Cao Miaomiao closed the door and actually cried there, crying and complaining: "I have been criticized and fought for several years, I was expecting to find someone with good ingredients, and the child will not be guilty in the future." Unexpectedly, you are also being criticized now, the two ingredients are not good now, I knew that I would not marry your family! Why is my life so miserable! ”

Shi Ye was also very distressed in his heart, but he still had to coax his daughter-in-law and said softly: "Don't cry, who would know that this would happen!" You just brought your belly, be careful of hurting the fetus! ”

Cao Miaomiao wiped her tears, looked at Shi Ye, and said slightly coquettishly: "People don't mean anything else, they just feel uncomfortable." Well, I am criticized every day, my heart hurts when I see that, I am afraid that this matter will affect you! ”

"Don't worry, you won't be criticized! However, it will definitely have some impact on both of us. When Shi Ye said this, he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart.

When the Shi family felt that they had fallen into the abyss, something happened to the Ding family:

After it was dark that day, Mrs. Ding braved the cold wind, avoided human eyes, and knocked on the door of Ding Facai's hut. After closing the door, Mrs. Ding told Ding Facai everything: the original idea of driving Ding Facai out of the Ding family was actually the idea of Mrs. Ding, who had a premonition that the Kuomintang was going to collapse at that time, but she was also worried that the Communist Party would attack the landlords after coming to power, so she made this decision.

"Get rich, don't blame me for following you, we did all this to leave you a way out. I asked you to shake out the things of the Shi family decades ago, and it was also for the good of our Ding family, otherwise, you would be like the eldest son of the Liu family, I don't know how many times you will be criticized. I sneaked over tonight just to see you. Now that you're okay, I'm relieved! When it's time for you, I'll be able to confess! You have to take care of yourself and find a daughter-in-law ......".

After listening to Mrs. Ding's words, Ding Facai didn't say anything. Of course, he didn't understand what he meant.

The next morning, the neighbors found Mrs. Ding dead in bed, bleeding from all over the place, and a vial was placed at the head of the bed. The bottle contained poison, or Mrs. Ding specially hid it in the crack of the wall, and it was not taken away when the red generals searched the house.
