Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Ning Ziping Takes a Hit

Wang Hailan was stating facts that everyone in the village knew, but nobody would openly point out others’ shortcomings. Now, as Wang Hailan cursed in one breath, the Sun family was embarrassed by the resurfacing of old issues, especially given her blunt words, and their faces turned unsightly.

Du Chunfang, the wife of eldest brother Sun Baowen, could no longer hold back, "What the hell are you to curse the Sun family’s doorstep? If it weren’t for you, a wanton, seducing that Chen Shimei, my little sister-in-law would not be so muddle-headed and get into trouble.

Your mother should have taught you better. After doing shameful things, you still dare strut around here. Truly shameless, a prostitute’s manners, absolutely faceless."

Wang Hailan trembled with rage at the verbal assault.

Ning Ziping saw that Wang Hailan was not taking it well and hurried forward to pull her away, thinking there was no point in arguing with these country shrews.

As Wang Hailan saw Ning Ziping not only failing to defend her but also pulling her away, she felt this was tantamount to admitting what the old woman had said. She shook off Ning Ziping’s hand, "What’s with you? Don’t you hear what she’s calling me?"

Ning Ziping didn’t want the villagers to see the spectacle, "Do you think it’s worth stooping to her level? She’s just a shrew. Besides, we won’t be in the village for much longer. Her words can’t affect us. We’d better spend our time at the commune seeking news, rather than waste it here."

Wang Hailan, considering Ning Ziping’s words, seemed to think there was some truth to them. She turned around and glared at Du Chunfang, muttering, "She’s just a mad dog."

After cursing, she followed Ning Ziping out of the village.

The Sun family watched the two of them walk away, Sun Baoqing turned to his big brother Sun Baowen, "Big Brother, are we just going to let them walk away like this?"

With a stern face, Sun Baowen replied, "We can’t keep them here against their will, nor can we afford to feed them. If your second house hadn’t stirred up trouble, would we be in this awkward position today?"

Standing beside them, the Third Son of the Sun Family, Sun Baojun, spoke up, "Enough, don’t argue. Isn’t this embarrassing enough?"

This incident that they had nearly managed to forget was brought up once again, truly infuriating. It affected the future marriage prospects of their children, with the eldest brother’s family as a case in point. The second son had finally found a prospect, though a lazy one, and the third still wasn’t married.

With their own sons and daughters reaching marriageable age, it was truly worrisome.

They turned to the onlookers, "That’s enough, go on now, disperse."

When Ning Ziping and Wang Hailan exited the village, they ran into Doctor Gao. Ning Ziping stopped, "Doctor Gao, where are you headed?"

Doctor Gao, hearing someone greet him, paused and took a while to recognize the person, "Who are you?"

Ning Ziping smiled, "It’s me, Ziping, Ning Ziping, Stone’s dad."

Doctor Gao nodded, "Oh, Ning Ziping, what brings you back?"

Ning Ziping sighed, "Came back to see how Stone is."

Upon mentioning Stone, Doctor Gao’s friendly expression faded. After Sun Mei disappeared, this man hadn’t shown up for years, truly lacking any sense of responsibility. If it wasn’t for Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao, who knew how much suffering Stone would have endured.

He spoke indifferently, "You’re back too late. Stone isn’t in the village anymore. The boy has suffered a lot, and you owe him too much."

"Doctor Gao, I’ve come back this time to take Stone to the city with me. Do you know where the people who adopted Stone are now?"

Doctor Gao shook his head, "I don’t know."

Thinking to himself, even if he knew, he would not tell him, not to mention that he truly didn’t know where they were. The child needed you and you weren’t there, now it’s too late to come back with this show of concern.

Ning Ziping went to the commune’s machinery station to inquire about the situation. As soon as the station staff heard he was Stone’s biological father, whom Lu Yichen had adopted, none of them looked pleased. The story of Stone was known throughout the surrounding villages.

Everyone had a poor impression of this Chen Shimei who deserted his wife and child, so not many paid him any attention, and Wang Hailan too was met with cold shoulders.

In the end, Ning Ziping still managed to bribe the gatekeeper with a pack of cigarettes to learn some information. Hearing that Lu Yichen had been transferred from the station to work in the city, he started to worry. The city was vast; where would he start looking?

So, he turned back to the machinery station to speak to the station master with his request, but Lu Yichen had already told the station master before leaving not to disclose any of his information.

No amount of soft talk or hard press from Ning Ziping could extract any useful information. All the station master knew was that Lu Yichen had joined the public security system, but he was unclear on the specifics, and he did not reveal a single word.

Emerging from the machinery station, Ning Ziping was considerably disheartened. He had underestimated the situation; he had not expected that he wouldn’t be able to learn even the adoptive parent’s information about his own son, finding the station master impervious.

Wang Hailan shielded her eyes from the sun, "Ziping, what do we do now?"

Ning Ziping replied, "Let’s find a place to eat first, then figure it out. We can’t have come all this way for nothing."
