Du Dayong then focused on the important questions and asked them.
"Have Aunt An ever seen the young man who went to Luo Jiahui?"
Aunt An lowered her head and nodded.
"Does Aunt An have something to hide?"
Du Dayong said with a smile.
Aunt An nodded and shook her head.
"Death is a big deal. I can't just rely on my own guesses to speak ill of Jia Hui without seeing it. This is wrong."
"It's okay. We police can be suspicious of everything, and so can you. Besides, it's all in the past. What if Aunt An's suspicions and speculations are useful to our police!"
Du Dayong quickly comforted Aunt An.
"In the second half of the Lulu year, there were almost no people in Yaoguwan. I met Jiahui at that time and asked her. She said that someone would get coal for her this year, and she would move out in another two years at most. Just now, Tiehua girl
I’m talking about Xu Junsheng, don’t count him in. He’s a boat operator and basically doesn’t live here. His wife and children are also in the county. This is just his place to stay before boarding the boat.”
"Besides, I didn't dare to ask anything at that time. If someone else reported it, I might be an enemy agent. But at the end of Lu Lu's year, I heard a noise outside Chen Wei's abandoned house. It was a man and a woman doing that.
From the sound of the incident, I knew it was Jia Hui from the voice. The male voice did not belong to Xu Junsheng, so who else could it be? It could only be someone who was helping Jia Hui get coal. Besides, Jia Hui had a very good figure and appearance.
, there are so many old guys in our website who want to take advantage of her, plus they already have two children, so having a cheap baby is no better than getting a cheap baby from those old guys."
"I was born in 2008, and I'm 76 this year. Besides, I don't have much to say. I still dare to tell some truths. After Jia Huinan's death, someone quickly fell in love with her, Tiehua Na
How old is she? What does she know? What if she goes back to the countryside? It's all a lie. My old man saw Jia Hui shopping in the county town. The little girl knew she was Jia Hui's child just by looking at her features.
It’s the same in every era, beauty is a disaster, not to mention it’s an era when you don’t have enough to eat or clothes to keep warm, so who do you think women are?”
"My old man is no longer here, so I can say that when they took me for review at the turn of 1967, I was in my thirties and almost forty, and they picked me to pinch me. How could I still resist?
At that point, as long as you can pass the test, it doesn't matter."
Aunt An spoke calmly, as if talking about other people's affairs.
"So I can understand Jia Hui. When it gets to that point, nothing is more important than surviving, so what if you give birth to someone else's baby? Others weren't well shielded. Who knew at the time? When the weather gets cold, you count on your family to help.
We still expect coal from the station, but they don’t give it. Someone will bring coal. Isn’t that what it is? What’s the big deal? Three children can’t survive the winter without that coal, what else can they do?”
"The younger generation is called Shanquan, I know it all! I also know the one who gave birth to a girl to Jia Hui. It turned out to be Wang Xinfang, the leader of her husband's work unit. He always had a jeep when he went out. Isn't that just a waste of Jiahui? Xinfang, you say so.
no?"
Aunt Wang thought that no one knew about the things she had never said, and now she was dumbfounded.
"I know that man. He was on Lu Lunian's first batch of lists. After a whole night of tossing, he was gone. What else did I dare to say to others during the review? Do you know why I just said pinch me? I'm embarrassed.
Don’t you dare to show your teeth? Because I know that showing your teeth will kill you, so no matter how painful it is, I have to smile with you. I really have no choice at that time!”
Aunt An burst into tears when she said this.
"In 1967, during the handover period in spring and summer, the younger generation came the most, often taking Jiahui to the empty house to toss around. Anyway, I heard Jiahui's voice and felt that Jiahui was quite happy! Before I moved out,
A woman came to Jiahui's house. I vaguely heard that there was a quarrel, but the woman looked like she was from the county town. She wore much better clothes than us, and she was quite beautiful. There was no one here at that time.
, if there is a slight movement, I really can’t even hear it in my ears.”
"My old man was making a report at that time, and I was also afraid that if something happened to Jia Hui, I would be implicated. If I knew someone broke the shoes and didn't report it, I would be in trouble. In those days, I had to be cautious in my life.
"
"I came here once in the spring of 1968. Jiahui's house had collapsed and the beams had been picked up."
Du Dayong became interested when he heard that a woman had visited Luo Jiahui's house.
"Aunt An, does the woman you are talking about who looks like a woman from the county come here often or occasionally?"
"I met her three times. The first time she was not very friendly and sounded like a quarrel. The second and third times she seemed to have brought something with her. But I saw her bag, which had the name of Shangyi County Coal Bureau on it.
A word. I don’t know the rest at all!”
The last aunt was also sighing when she heard this.
"Officer Xiao Du, actually it won't do anything for you to ask me. I was married outside at that time, and Tiehua insisted on asking me to come over, so I followed. I moved away earlier than Tiehua's family.
!But Sister An is right, that girl belongs to Jia Hui. I also saw it in the county town. At that time, Jia Hui was still wrapping the baby in quilt. When I was about to say hello to her, she
I was coaxing the child and talking about how my mother was doing. After I heard it, I left with my head down."
