"I left home at that time and went to the capital with great difficulty, trying to find out how to get news of Chen Mingde.

How can it be so easy to find someone in such a big capital? The money I brought with me was spent in a few months.

I had no choice, so I wanted to go to work as a maid for others.

Coincidentally, the man in that family is an official, so he is in charge of this matter.

I inquired from him about your father, and learned that he was imprisoned as a spy, suffered a lot of crimes, and was later sent to a place to be reformed. ”

At this time, the old lady spoke quietly and talked about what had happened after she left home.

"I tried my best to follow you there, and I really found your father.

When we met, he didn't dare to recognize me, and I didn't dare to recognize him, how handsome your father was back then, and he became a dirty old man with a lame leg.

If it weren't for the birthmark on his neck, I wouldn't have recognized him. ”

As soon as she remembered the situation when the husband and wife met at that time, the old lady couldn't help but feel sad, and tears fell down.

"I pretended to be a begging for food, settled in that village, begged for a bite from the east family and a bite from the west family all day long, and just mixed the days and accompanied him there.

He had a hard time over there, and he still had to work at such an old age, and someone would take him away at every turn and teach him a lesson, and when he came back, he would have injuries on his face.

At the beginning of autumn that year, he was taken away again, and when he came back, he was seriously injured and had a high fever.

I sneaked to see him and tried to help him get rid of his fever, but it was useless, so I survived for a few days, didn't survive, and died. ”

Speaking of her husband's death, the old lady was very sad and cried even more fiercely.

"Before your father died, he took my hand and told me that I must live well.

Live, and when you have the opportunity, you have to avenge him.

He told me to endure it, I must endure it, I can't say these things to anyone, I must endure it until another day, and then I can say it. ”

"I just watched as he was buried under that hillside, without even a tombstone.

Or did I sneak up on a way and set up a wooden sign in front of his grave.

From the time I left your father's grave, I told myself that I had been a mute ever since.

I can't say anything, no matter who asks me, I can't say anything.

I didn't have much money on me, so I just asked for food all the way and came all the way back.

Later, I didn't have the money to buy a ticket, so I could only pick up the train, and finally came back alive. ”

Recalling the events of those years, the old lady was also in pain.

If people are not forced to a certain extent, they will not know how much ability they have, and she only had one thought at that time, to live.

Come home alive, come home alive, go home alive, go home to your children.

Wait, wait for the time to come, even if you can't avenge your husband, let your children go and bring back her husband's body and bury it well.

Over the years, she has waited and waited until now, and finally looked forward to the peace outside.

But she was still afraid, afraid that this peace was temporary, and she wanted to wait a little longer.

As soon as she heard that her great-grandson had been admitted to college that day, the old lady remembered her husband who had died outside.

In just a few years, my husband didn't wait until he saw the day when the Chen family was prosperous, his children and grandchildren became instruments, and the lintel was glorious.

That's why she cried so much that day, in fact, at that time, she really wanted to tell the truth.

But after she woke up and thought about it, she still couldn't say it for the time being, and she had to wait and see.

She has experienced too many ups and downs over the years, she is really afraid, if she speaks out, her children will definitely take action.

If the situation changes a little bit, won't it hurt this big family?

She can wait, she has to wait, her husband's grievances are important, but this family of dozens and nearly 100 people is even more important.

She can't harm this family for the sake of someone who is already dead.

I didn't expect that someone would come over today, and I didn't expect that the Shen family would come forward and bring documents to correct Chen Mingde's name.

In other words, now she really doesn't need to worry about anything, she can say everything she wants to say.

The old lady said while crying, and in the end, she couldn't cry anymore.

"Mingde, Mingde, you have finally looked forward to this day, and you have finally waited. If you really have a spirit in heaven, you should close your eyes. The old lady cried out her husband's name.

Chen Minsheng's brothers and sisters were all crying at this time.

No one thought that behind the old lady's refusal to speak, it was because she was burdened with so many secrets and pain.

Who would have thought that the old lady who smiled all day long after returning home would suffer so much in her heart?

This secret has been hidden for nearly ten years, and for ten years, the old lady has not said a word, just like a dumb person.

How much perseverance and determination does it take for a good person to just keep his mouth shut and say a word?

"Mother, you have suffered so much, why don't you tell us.

If you had said earlier, we would have brought back my father's bones sooner. The Qiaolian sisters hugged their mother and cried loudly.

The old lady hugged the girls, stretched out her dry hand, and touched the daughters' hair, "I can't say it, I can't say it, if I say it, it will hurt our family."

Your father suffered so much and suffered so many sins at that time, and he didn't say anything about our family, how can I say it? ”

When Chen Mingde came back, he kept a careful eye, only saying that he went abroad because of the devil's rampant, and did not mention the past.

just said that he missed his hometown for many years and wanted to contribute a little to the motherland and his hometown.

Fortunately, he said so, so there was an accident later, and the Chen family was not implicated.

Of course, there were also people who were checking his identity, and then someone went to Qingshangou, but the Chen family had already moved away, and Qingshangou was also chaotic at that time, so nothing could be found.

If Chen Mingde told the truth at that time and told his identity, then the Chen family would not be able to escape and would be implicated, and this family would not know what would become of it.

Of course, it was also because of this that the Shen family tried their best to inquire, but they couldn't get any relevant news.

"I thought I wouldn't dare to tell this secret until the day I died, but I didn't expect them to find it.

This pendant, after your father met me at that time, he secretly stuffed it to me.

He said that he tried his best to hide it, and that it was of great use.

In the future, if someone comes to look for it and takes out this thing, the other party will be able to recognize our identity. ”

The old lady held the sign in her hand of unknown material, and her tears still kept falling.

"Old man, I've waited for this day at last.

Ten years, I'm so tired in the past ten years, I don't dare to swallow this breath, just to wait for this day.

It's not easy, finally let me wait before I die, old man, I didn't let you down. ”
