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

Chapter 182: Reconciliation, Not Separation

Huang Chunjing was the first to object, and it was subconscious.

"To put it bluntly, Zhang San and his mother didn't treat Sister Guihua like a human being."

Besides being a tool for reproduction, they are also the family's hardworking ox.

Look at her, whose daughter-in-law suffers like her!

Even if someone is incredibly stupid, they couldn't possibly continue living with Zhang San.

"There's no point in arguing here; we still have to see what Sister Guihua herself thinks."

Alright, that's enough.

Huang Chunjing still didn't give up on this idea, and together with Liu Qingyu, they went to find Yang Leyu.

But most of the time, she was the one doing the talking, and Liu Qingyu didn't say much.

Yang Leyu also thought it was a good idea, and the two had a very heated discussion.

A short while later, the women's director came out.

"Hey, you educated youth, come here."

She gestured to everyone, and they all ran over.

"Well, Comrade Tian Guihua's family has arrived, so let's head back first."

"You guys have all worked hard these past two days. Tell me how much you've spent, and I'll have the team leader tally it up."

Yes, those who stayed yesterday were all women from the team.

Those with families cannot stay here for long.

"No need, Director, it didn't cost much."

The brigade leader covered all of yesterday's expenses.

"Okay, it's good that you know about this."

Only Ji Shuyin spent money on food; the rest of the people didn't actually spend any money.

Moreover, she doesn't plan to keep it.

After they finished talking, they went to the ward, told Tian Guihua, and then went back.

She and her mother were extremely grateful.

There was no need to send them off; they all went back on their own.

On the way, Yang Leyu also had some ideas.

"Director, will the team stand up for Sister Guihua in this matter?"

The woman's rights were violated, which happened to fall within her jurisdiction.

Knowing that she had a good relationship with Tian Guihua, they didn't hide it from her.

"Don't worry, Zhang San is really incompetent in this matter."

Our production team certainly won't tolerate this. I'll go back and give him a good talking-to.

She was quite dissatisfied with this.

"What, you think a little education is enough?"

Upon hearing this, the women's director suddenly realized what was going on and quickly added the details.

"Yes, and we also need to make him promise that a similar situation will not happen again."

Moreover, his grandmother also has to treat Guihua well.

Well, although I added some, it still doesn't align with their ideas.

"Well, I think there might be a possibility."

"Should we protect Sister Guihua's rights and help her leave that terrifying environment?"

"Yang Zhiqing, what do you mean by this?"

Actually, they had already guessed it, but they just didn't say it outright.

"Director, it is said that it is easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature."

Zhang San's lazy and gluttonous nature won't change so easily.

Moreover, he favors sons over daughters, so Sister-in-law Guihua will definitely not have a good time when she goes back this time.

Do you think it's possible to help them separate and let Sister Guihua start her own business?

Anyway, we women can hold up the sky, why do we have to stay in his house!

This time, it was the women's director's turn to be surprised, and the two female comrades who came with her were also somewhat puzzled.

"You're just kids, how could you know the importance of family!"

"If Guihua, a woman, gets divorced and has three children, she'll be drowned in gossip."

"Yes, the countryside is not like the city; it's not that simple."

Several people tried to persuade her, but Yang Leyu insisted on her own point of view.

"I understand what you're saying, but leaving would be more beneficial than harmful."

"Shouldn't we support women having better choices?" The women's director looked at her and sighed.

In short, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage.

I still insist on prioritizing education. If the couple has other ideas, then we will definitely stand on Guihua's side.

"But……"

Yang Leyu wanted to say a few more words, but Ji Shuyin went over and pulled her back.

Even if the person opposite her is the women's director, she is unwilling to take the initiative to persuade them to separate; this is a tradition that has been passed down for many years.

"Alright, Leyu, there's no point in talking about this now."

Let's wait until Sister Guihua comes back before we talk about it. None of us can make the decision for her.

Reluctantly shutting her mouth, Ji Shuyin sighed, really not wanting to get involved in this kind of thing.

Once they arrived at the production team, everyone went home.

She left early in the morning and didn't light a fire.

Now is the perfect time to gather some firewood to heat the kang (a traditional heated brick bed) and cook.

Although it's still early, it doesn't matter. It's convenient to be alone, and I can eat whatever I want.

Just as the smoke from the chimneys began to rise, there was also some noise from next door.

"Jiang Shi'an, are you back?"

Upon hearing the voice, a head quickly appeared on the wall.

"You're back, Shuyin. Why are you here so early?"

"Seeing that everything was alright, I came back."

"How is Sister-in-law Guihua?"

"pretty good."

"We ran into a bunch of big guys on the mountain today, and we have to go back tomorrow."

I'm going to Jinghuan's house this afternoon to make some tools. If you need anything, just come find me there.

We've encountered a big guy, that's a good thing.

If the food is firm, it'll be enough to eat and drink for the whole winter.

She didn't want to delay other people's important business, and besides, there really wasn't anything else going on right now.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Oh, right, haven't you eaten yet? I bought some meat buns at the state-run restaurant, I still have a few left, I'll take them with me."

As he spoke, he went inside.

I bought extra steamed buns, so I just put them in my storage space.

They took out ten, two of whom were big men, and they could eat them all.

In addition, there are four boiled eggs.

"There's so much, we can't eat it all."

"Take it, I have more."

The two of them get along very well now, and there's no need for them to repay any favors.

Just like with very close friends, Jiang Shi'an also felt it was progress.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

I'll bring some meat back tomorrow, so we can have a treat.

"Row."

Ji Shuyin didn't refuse, since it wouldn't make a difference anyway, and they would take it back anyway.

We'll eat together, that's enough.

Things became much simpler after I got back.

After she finished eating, she went to work in her workspace.

The corn I planted earlier has sprouted, so I need to water it more.

When you're tired, go inside the house to rest.

Seeing the things in my home inevitably made me feel down.

On the table were the documents that the Wang family had brought.

Ji Shuyin looked at the valuables in her room with a bored expression, and wasn't particularly happy.

This immense wealth, even if you hold it all by yourself, is not as important as being with your family.

My parents are still suffering in the frontier.

Wait a minute, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, why were my parents punished?

Could this be part of the reason?
