Chapter 463 Left-behind children ruined by the life exchange variety show 5
996 was still talking, "Your Highness, do you know? Xinghua Village was expected to get rid of poverty and become rich, but it was the ignorance of the villagers that harmed themselves."
"So Xinghua Village missed out on 100 million? Please elaborate on this."
[Mr. Qin's wife was killed by the villagers of Xinghua Village. His wife was very beautiful and was an educated youth who went to the countryside like him. The two met and fell in love because of a hero saving a beautiful woman.]
[But the good times didn’t last long. The young educated girl was so pretty that she was noticed by the youngest son of the village head at that time. He deliberately set a plan to have the young educated girl fall into the water, and then he jumped in to save her, hoping to ruin her reputation.]
[The educated youth was already married to Mr. Qin at that time. The moment she fell into the water, she knew someone was trying to harm her. For the sake of her own reputation, she was unwilling to be rescued by another man, so she sank desperately and eventually drowned.]
Changan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
This is absolutely outrageous. Is reputation more important than life?
996 noticed her thoughts and said, "Your Highness, it's not like you haven't been to the ancient literary world. Things in that era were just so outrageous. Many people lost their lives for fame."
Chang'an thought about it and realized that she had never encountered this before.
"Where was Mr. Qin at that time? He didn't even make it to the meeting when his wife got into trouble."
[This is what I mean by the development opportunity that Xinghua Village missed. The educated youths came here to build the countryside and they were all working hard to help Xinghua Village change its living conditions.]
The reason why Xinghua Village is called Xinghua Village is because the village was once full of apricots.
This was the only specialty of Xinghua Village in the 1970s. The educated youth were smart and they planned to build a canning factory in the village and then expand the fruit planting base.
However, the mountains are high and the roads are long, transportation is inconvenient, and how to transport the produced cans is a problem.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and building roads is not a matter that the educated youth can decide.
On the day when the female educated youth had the accident, Grandpa Qin, the village party secretary, and several other educated youth went to the county town for a meeting to discuss the road construction and canning factory in Xinghua Village.
When Mr. Qin returned from the county town, he was told that his wife, whom he had been married to for only one month, had drowned.
【Mr. Qin didn't believe that his wife's death was an accident. After all, he was born in a wealthy family and had been influenced by his family since he was a child. He was very good at detective work.
It wasn't long before he discovered that his wife's death was related to the village chief's youngest son. When he learned the truth, he turned evil.
Not long after, the village chief's son drowned in the same way in the river, and later the village chief's family died suddenly at home for no apparent reason.
The villagers all guessed that it was Grandpa Qin who did it, but they had no evidence, and no one dared to be the first to speak out. No one reported it, so Grandpa Qin has lived peacefully in Xinghua Village until now.
Because the villagers stood by and did nothing, they were also hated by Mr. Qin. The educated youth were also very united, and the development plan for Xinghua Village was later cancelled under the manipulation of Mr. Qin.
After missing that opportunity, Xinghua Village no longer had any chances for development, and the number of apricot trees in the village decreased year by year, until now there is not a single apricot tree to be seen.
Changan listened to 996's story and came to Mr. Qin's house at the end of the village. The house was still the mud brick house that he built when he and his wife got married more than years ago.
The old house was kept clean and tidy. There was a chicken coop in the yard with five old hens and a rooster.
"Grandpa Qin?"
Under the eaves sat an old man with a straight back and a stern face. Even though he was in his 80s, one could still see the elegance of his youth.
Old Master Qin looked towards the gate of the yard in the direction of the voice. Oh, it was that child.
He was an old acquaintance of the child's grandfather. When the child was born, the old man happily brought his newborn granddaughter to his house and asked him to help name the child.
Without thinking, he blurted out, "Chang'an, the Chang'an of the whole life."
Unfortunately, Li Weili, who loved his granddaughter so much, died of illness early before he had the chance to see her grow up.
The child has an ignorant grandmother and a pair of short-sighted and despicable parents. His life is already half ruined.
How great would it be if Li Weilai was still alive? This child would not look like this now, dark and thin, with a big head and a small body, and it is obvious that he has never had a full meal.
Old Master Qin brought his wandering thoughts back to his mind. He waved to Chang'an and said, "Come in."
Chang'an ran into the yard dragging an old hen that was clucking non-stop in his hand, "Grandpa Qin, I'm giving you an old hen to eat to nourish your body."
Seeing the old hen in her hand, which looked like it had lost all hope in life, Mr. Qin was stunned. Has Mrs. Li changed her personality?
He thought that it was Old Lady Li who asked Chang'an to send it, but then he thought that it didn't seem right. After Li Weilai passed away, their two families had no contact anymore. Why did they send this chicken today?
Changan saw his confusion and said, "I caught it myself. My grandma is sick and lying in bed. My parents are taking care of her. I dreamed of my grandpa yesterday. He asked him to take care of you and provide you with a happy life until the end of your life."
Of course, it's all nonsense. Among the information dug out by 996, there was a paragraph saying that the original owner's grandfather and Mr. Qin were old acquaintances and they had a pretty good relationship.
Old Master Qin knocked on Chang'an's forehead speechlessly, "Nonsense, tell me, what do you want from me?"
He grabbed the old hen in Chang'an's hand and threw it into the chicken coop. It would be a waste not to take it. He would cook the eggs she laid for the little girl.
If she is sent back to Old Li's house, the little girl won't even have a chance to eat a chicken feather.
Chang'an dropped a thunderbolt, "Grandpa Qin, I will come to live with you, and when I grow up, I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."
She said it very seriously, without any joking in mind.
Old Master Qin's eyebrows jumped. Could this child be mentally ill?
"You have parents, and it's not my turn to take care of you. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me and I will help you if I can."
Chang'an was not too disappointed, because she knew that he would definitely refuse. She was not an orphan now, and her parents had no reason to adopt her.
"Okay, Grandpa Qin, I'll go back first."
Old Man Qin looked at the little figure running away. The idea of favoring boys over girls has become a tradition in Xinghua Village. Even though it is a new era, those people's minds are still living in the old society.
In fact, it seems like it would be nice to raise a little one. If A Yuan were still alive, he wouldn't have to be envious of other people's children.
The Li family, Li Dashan and Zhang Xiaocui watched Changan go out without any hindrance.
They also tried to get out, but were stopped just like in the morning.
The couple became even more certain that their daughter was possessed by an evil spirit, and their teeth were chattering with fear.
The two were speechless and saw fear in each other's eyes.
When Chang'an came back, she saw Li Dashan and Zhang Xiaocui huddled together under the eaves, and she looked at her with horror.
She just glanced at them lazily and turned into the woodshed next to her.
After the renovation, the woodshed looks spacious and bright. It is spacious because there is only a Luohan couch in it and nothing else.
The windows were also enlarged and installed with glass, and the walls were covered with a layer of white wallpaper that 996 bought from the system mall, completely covering the original mud walls, making it clean and hygienic.
The ground is also covered with a layer of anti-wooden floor mat, and it is no longer the original mud ground.
Li Dashan and Zhang Xiaocui were too scared to provoke Chang'an and lived in fear every day.
Half a month later, the life-swapping variety show finally started filming.
The five children from the city arrived at Xinghua Village one after another, carrying their luggage.
