She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 164 Night Visit to the Xie Family
“The educated youth from the city were sent to work in the countryside here.”

Upon hearing this, the old lady nodded.

"These two girls are not only beautiful, but also kind."

Come to think of it, if it weren't for me holding you back, you should have been married off long ago.

Erqiangzi always finds it particularly annoying when she talks about this; once she starts, it never ends.

But today was different, and he realized something, which surprised him.

"Let me tell you, stop thinking about those unnecessary things."

They're city dwellers; they'll have to go back home sooner or later.

We have nothing at home, we can't even get enough to eat, so we can't dream of anything else.

Besides, they've been so good to us; if we had any ulterior motives, wouldn't we be incredibly despicable?

The old lady sighed, understanding the situation.

"Sigh, I just think these two girls are really good, what if they could stay?"

"There's no 'what if,' so stop overthinking it."

"You'll scare them away so they'll never see you again, and you'll be happy about that?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady fell silent.

Watching the two leave, Erqiangzi sighed heavily, said nothing more, and turned back to his room.

……

In the evening, everyone was present.

The five of them set off together to the Dandelion Production Team.

Xie Laosan's house is on the east side, and there are neighbors around it.

Jiang Shi'an and Feng Jinghuan didn't go in; they stayed nearby and sent Er Qiangzi to knock on the door.

I don't know if they're asleep or not, because there are no lights on in the house.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would light a lamp.

As long as there's nothing else to do, they won't waste that kerosene.

"Who are you looking for?"

The person who opened the door was a young man, who clearly did not recognize the three of them.

“Brother, we are Xinghua’s friends. These two younger sisters have returned from elsewhere and wanted to come and visit the two elders.”

Upon hearing his sister's name, the other person's eyes dimmed instantly, as if some memory had been stirred up.

Seeing Ji Shuyin and the other girl again, carrying things in their hands, their wariness lessened considerably.

"Let's talk after you come in."

He was also very cautious; his sister's affairs had always been a taboo subject in his family.

Even visiting relatives would deliberately avoid talking about her.

When we arrived at the main room, the old man was weaving a basket. By the moonlight, we could only see a blurry shadow.

"Waiter, who are these people?"

Hearing the commotion, Aunt Xie also came out.

"Dad, Mom, they are my sister's friends."

The elderly couple were also taken aback upon hearing this.

Then, Xinghua's mother's eyes welled up with tears.

"Hurry up, sit down."

"Son, go and light the kerosene lamp."

"Hey, I'll go right away."

Soon, the lights came on, and she could see the faces of the two old people clearly.

They're not young anymore; their faces are etched with the marks of time.

"Third Sister, Third Sister, I've known Xinghua since I was a child."

She used to always go to our production team with Dajuan from your village.

Xinghua's mother nodded repeatedly; it must be correct.

"Yes, Juanzi is her aunt's child, and the two have been close since childhood."

"You're from the Willow Sprouts production team, right?"

"Exactly."

Erqiangzi spoke eloquently, revealing that Xinghua's aunt, who was also Dajuanzi's mother, was from their production team's maternal family.

No wonder Erqiangzi looked so familiar!

"Third Sister, Third Sister, we came here today to see you."

Secondly, there are still some things I want to tell you.

The elderly couple, already emotionally charged, ran into their daughter's friend. Of course, they wouldn't object at that moment.

"Just say what you have to say, I'm listening."

Erqiangzi glanced at the two of them and quickly offered an explanation.

"My two younger sisters need to talk to you about something. Let them tell you."

"Come on, bro, come with me to the restroom."

As he spoke, he called Xie Xiaoer out.

"Girls, what can I do for you?"

It's getting late, we can't dawdle any longer.

"Third Sister, Third Sister, actually we came here today for Xinghua's matter."

To be honest, we don't get along with the Chen family either.

Chen Baosheng's older sister, Chen Baoqin, also wanted to use the same methods she used on Xinghua to forcibly take the two of us away.

However, due to the large number of people, she did not succeed.

Seeing that they had suffered the same fate as her daughter, Xinghua's mother felt even more distressed, and tears streamed down her face.

"Good children, you've suffered so much! Look at the Chen family, they're not human!"

Over the next period of time, the old woman told them about her daughter's experiences, which were almost identical to what Erqiangzi had said.

"So, my older brother hasn't come back at all?"

The old man, who hadn't spoken until now, sighed.

"They've vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead!"

After taking a heavy puff of her pipe, Third Sister also began to cry.

She couldn't accept losing two children all at once.

"Chen Baosheng has now been arrested and is being held in the commune."

As far as I know, it won't be long before a big shot from above comes to clean up the unhealthy practices here.

Some people are probably planning to target Wei Hu and the Chen family.

Upon hearing this, the two of them became quite interested.

"Daughter, are you telling the truth?"

"It should be, but I can't guarantee the specifics."

If it's true, are you willing to come forward?

Before the two could answer, the door outside was pushed open.

“Yes, I do.

The matter concerning my older brother and younger sister has always been a heavy burden on my heart, and I'm willing to go.

Ji Shuyin glanced at Er Qiangzi; it was obvious that the two of them had been eavesdropping at the door.

We had agreed beforehand that if there were any other people, he should take them out.

Erqiangzi knew this too, and gave a somewhat embarrassed chuckle.

"What are you willing to do? Your older brother and younger sister are both gone. Do you want to follow in their footsteps?"

The old man was a little angry and tapped his pipe on the ground.

"But Dad, are you just going to let them die in vain?"

I'm not reconciled!

Am I really going to accept this?

The old man was trembling with anger; after all, it was his own child.

Xinghua's mother was already sobbing uncontrollably, holding her youngest son's hand.

"If anything happens to you again, how will your father and I live?"

This was a scene she didn't want to see, and Huang Chunjing felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"But didn't they say that a big shot is coming down in a couple of days?"

"We can get our revenge then, so why not seize the opportunity?"

"shut up."

The old man yelled at his son and then turned to look at the two of them.

Erqiangzi thought they were about to cause trouble, so he quickly went over and stood in front of them.

"This was all my idea, the Three Greats, it has nothing to do with them."

To everyone's surprise, the other person simply sighed.

"I know you're doing this for our family's good."

But this family can't withstand any more damage.

"Children, you should go home. Our family won't participate anymore."
