Chapter 64 What new husband? I'm still me!
"Who exactly are you?" Tong Yuheng took out a dagger and held it to his neck. This person knew she had the secret of her spatial ability, and she couldn't let him live!
"You won't believe me even if I tell you... I'm Tong Linsheng! Your father!" Liu Fengyi explained helplessly, not wanting his own daughter to kill him again after he finally came back to life!
Even he himself didn't understand why he kept following the mother and daughter after he was stabbed to death by the thugs, nor did he know why he was trapped in this body.
But he knew that if his eldest daughter hadn't visited him and fed him so much water, he wouldn't have been able to break free of the restraints and take control of this body so quickly.
Then, Liu Fengyi (Tong Linsheng) began to ramble on about what happened to his family after his death. This included Tong Jiahui falling seriously ill after his death; the eldest brother being knocked unconscious after Wu Zhigang broke his head; their scheme to get back at Fan Eryong and have Han Ailian catch them in the act of adultery; and her revenge against the Red Guards and Qian Wenyi…
Then came the strange force that pulled him away, trapping him inside Liu Fengyi's body. He couldn't wake up and had no memory of her. If it weren't for the potion she gave him, he might have been killed by his sister-in-law in this body by pulling out the tubes!
"When I was little, Linglong and I climbed onto the roof of my maternal grandfather's house, and I broke my leg..." She deliberately misrepresented the events of that year to verify the person who claimed to be her father.
"It was Yuyao who led them to climb the roof, and she even tried to jump directly from the roof to a tree, breaking her leg in the process. If you hadn't caught Yuling, her leg would have been broken too! Yuyao's leg took a full three months to heal, and Linglong got a beating from your mother for it!"
"Since you came with me, do you remember what I told my grandfather?" Tong Yuheng was still worried and continued to ask.
"You've said so much, what are you referring to?"
"About my great-grandmother..." She didn't say it explicitly, but who knows if he had inquired a lot about her and her sisters?
"Oh, you mean those things she built in the partition wall between the two rooms? You can't take them without demolishing the house. You're not going to tear the house down this time, are you?!"
Seeing his daughter's perfect set of white teeth, he knew she was a quick and efficient person! He gave her a thumbs-up. This was a gesture he often used to praise his daughters when he was alive.
"Dad, it really is you! That's wonderful!" Tong Yuheng rushed towards the open arms that were facing her, and both of them were moved to tears.
"You said you don't have any memory of Captain Liu? What are we going to do then? Can you still work at the Public Security Bureau?" Tong Yuheng was a little worried. He could say that his memory was impaired because of a head injury, but this job was very suitable for protecting his family, and it would be a real pity to quit.
"We have to do it. I need to find a way to get your grandparents and the others removed from the 'Five Black Categories' label. By the way, what should I say to your mother? I'm worried that some people in the village might try to take advantage of her."
"Hehehe, with us here, my mom can't run away, and she doesn't want to. But accepting a new husband with a different appearance will definitely make her awkward. How about we wait?"
"What new husband? I'm still me! But I'm a little afraid to see your mother right now. She's really suffered these past six months."
"Don't worry about us here, Dad. You should quickly familiarize yourself with the business and your team. We do plan to ask you to help with my grandfather's matter. By the time the Lantern Festival is over, you should be almost done, right?"
"No problem. Captain Liu's job is similar to mine; I just need to familiarize myself with the procedures. I also need to get to know all the higher-ups. No matter the era, you have to figure out who's on whose side!"
"Is it alright for you to ride your bike back so late? Oh, by the way, here's something good for you. Drinking this will help you recover faster!" Tong Yuheng took out a military water bottle filled with spiritual spring water: "Drink a cup every day. It'll be good for wound healing and improving your physical condition! I'll save some more for you when I come to see you in a couple of days."
"Okay, I'll go back first. You should go back quickly too, it's too cold outside!" Liu Fengyi didn't plan to ask too much about his daughter's "magic tricks"; she would tell him when she wanted to.
Tong Yuheng was in an exceptionally good mood, absolutely overjoyed. Her father had actually been resurrected in another's body! It was truly unbelievable, a wonderful surprise and delight. As a time traveler, she was quite accepting of such bizarre events; she just didn't know if her mother and sisters could accept it.
She decided to leave it at that for now and let her father find an opportunity to tell her mother. She quietly returned home, filled the water vat in the main room with the stream water from her spatial dimension, and mixed in some spiritual spring water. She also added some coal to the coal stove in the room, covered it with the chimney to let out the smoke, and waited for a while before lying down on her single bed to sleep.
She didn't go to work in the space that night. She was in such a good mood that she decided to give herself a little break!
Tong Jiahui noticed her daughter had woken up and gone out, assuming she had gone to the outhouse. However, after a while, she still hadn't returned, and she began to worry. Just as she was about to get up to check on her, she heard her daughter come in and close the door, so she lay back down without saying a word to her.
Tong Jiahui always went to work. The job wasn't particularly tiring, but there were still a lot of odd jobs to do. When she first stopped working, she had to prepare various supplies for the rural trip, make schoolbags and clothes, and also take care of Gu Yanting, who had just started working. She was always busy and didn't feel bored.
In the first few days after arriving, she was busy settling into the house and didn't have much free time. She only had some free time during the two days of the Chinese New Year, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it. Seeing her eldest and second eldest children going to take job exams to earn money for the family, she thought she couldn't just sit idle, so she planned to contact a classmate who used to work at a newspaper to see if she could find some translation work.
After discussing it with her eldest daughter, she felt that most of her classmates were in the same boat—either because of their families or because they were intellectuals—and had all faced some degree of exclusion. It was best to keep their past acquaintances out of the loop. These days, you can never tell who's who, so it's better not to look for them.
However, Tong Yuheng supports her mother writing poems, articles, or submitting news reports under a pseudonym. If Chenjiatun Brigade is featured in the newspaper, it will bring fame and benefits to the village, and they will be respected in the village.
That's a good idea. Tong Jiahui plans to write something and send it to the provincial newspaper around the time of spring plowing. Before that, she will go to the brigade headquarters to borrow newspapers and make some preparations.
Tong Jiahui was busy planning what she could do to increase the family income, unaware that her unforgettable husband was standing guard outside the gate in the guise of someone else. And this person was none other than Captain Liu from the Public Security Bureau, the very person they planned to rely on!
