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

Chapter 209 Family Meeting
Ji Shuyan heard this and was surprised for a moment.

Then, carrying the firewood, he took two steps forward.

The wind at night was quite strong, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

Ji Shuyin couldn't wait any longer. The person she had been longing for day and night had appeared in front of her, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arms with both hands.

"Brother, it's me, it's Shuyin!"

"Book, Book Sound, Sister, Little Sister?"

The firewood in Ji Shuyan's hand instantly scattered on the ground; it was clear he hadn't reacted in time.

"It's me, brother, it's me."

Ji Shuyin had completely lost control of herself. She had never been so out of control since that dream.

Perhaps this is the power of family; she doesn't have to bear anything alone and can show her most vulnerable side without any reservations.

Realizing what was happening too late, Ji Shuyan pulled the person out of his arms and carefully examined their face.

"It really is Shuyin, my sister."

But... but how did you get here?
"Have you been implicated because of us? Didn't Dad say you were sent to the countryside in Northeast China? What exactly happened?"

Listening to her brother's questioning concern, she felt a warm glow in her heart; her family would always be her strongest support.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi'an, who was standing nearby, also quickly stepped forward.

"Brother, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?"

The subtle reminder brought the other party back to their senses.

"Yes, let's go back first, it's not convenient here."

Your parents would be so happy to see you!

Actually, he was happy too.

Although the details are still unclear, the reunion of loved ones always brings tears to one's eyes.

Ji Shuyin and Jiang Shi'an followed Ji Shuyan into the low-lying house next door.

I knocked gently on the door, and there was a response from inside.

"coming."

They heard footsteps, and then the wooden door creaked open.

"You're back. Why did you take so long?"

Book, or the sound of a book?

"sister in law."

Ji Shuyin burst into tears again. Cheng Shuangshuang never expected to see her sister-in-law again, especially under such an unexpected circumstances.

"It's my little sister, Shuangshuang. Let us in quickly."

"okay."

Clearly, this person was also caught off guard.

After letting the person in, he quickly went over and lit a kerosene lamp.

Only then did Ji Shuyin get a clear look at the room.

It was really small; there was only a bed, a chair, and two small stools inside, and not even a table.

Not only that, the stools and chairs were also incredibly old, antiques from who-knows-when.

There was also a stove inside, which looked like it had been discarded by someone else. The fire inside was burning brightly, making the whole room much warmer.

Seeing this scene, Ji Shuyin couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Brother, sister-in-law, do you live in such conditions?"

Although the new apartment I rented wasn't great, it had everything I needed, and I kept it clean, so it was quite comfortable living there.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuangshuang smiled knowingly.

"Little sister, it's alright."

Last time you invited your friends over, our situation improved a lot; at least we had a fireplace to warm ourselves.

Don't worry, we're doing alright.

How could I not worry?

My parents have always been pampered, and so have my older brother and sister-in-law. Born into a well-off family, they've never experienced hardship. How could they possibly survive in such a poor place?
It's nothing more than stubbornly persisting!
"Sister-in-law~"

"Okay, it's really nothing."

Cheng Shuangshuang kept smiling and gently patted her hand. The slightly calloused touch made Ji Shuyin's eyes well up with tears again.

"Alright, little sister, I'll take you to find Mom and Dad, but you can't cry anymore, or they'll worry again."

Upon hearing this, she quickly wiped away her tears and stood up immediately.

"Okay, I promise I won't cry, brother, don't worry."

The four of them went to the house next door.

When Ji Chiyan saw his daughter, he was just as shocked, and couldn't even believe his eyes, rubbing them over and over again.

"Dad, it's me, it's Shuyin!"

"Daughter, what are you doing here? Come in quickly."

It's freezing cold and windy outside, so it's really not a place to stay for long.

The main reason is that I'm afraid of being seen by others.

Ji's mother was lying in bed when she heard the noise, and she quickly tried to get up.

"Old Ji, what are you talking about? What Shuyin?"

"Damn it, look who's here!"

Ji Chiyan stepped aside, making way for his youngest daughter behind him.

"Shuyin, is it really you?"

Ji Shuyin quickly ran over and hugged her.

"Mommy, it's me. I've come to see you, sob sob sob..."

The mother and daughter practically broke down in tears, and everyone who witnessed it was deeply moved.

After a long while, Ji Chiyan went over and persuaded them to separate.

"Child, what brings you here? Have we dragged you into this again?"

Her mother thought the same way.

"No, it's a fellow educated youth who went to the countryside with us. Her parents happen to be here to help out."

They said she would be transferred to another location during the Spring Festival, apparently to a classified unit, so they made a special exception and asked her to come and take a look.

I only got to come along because of her."

In this way, the matter was explained clearly, and the parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law were finally relieved.

"Is this the young comrade?"

Ji Chiyan had been wanting to ask, but she couldn't bear to disturb the mother and daughter.

"No, Dad, this is Jiang Shi'an."

Like me, we were both sent from Suzhou to work in the countryside in Northeast China. We were assigned to the same production team.

He was worried about the two of us women, so he came along this time.

"Hello, Uncle, Aunt, Brother, Sister-in-law, I am Jiang Shi'an."

This person is very good at handling people; he immediately greeted everyone.

"Hello, Xiao Jiang."

The Ji family is very grateful for the help they received from others.

"What are your parents' names? Your name seems familiar."

Ji Chiyan said something, and Ji Shuyin suddenly became a little nervous.

Jiang Shi'an rarely mentions his parents, which is probably an indelible pain in his heart.

"Dad, have you forgotten?"

Gu Yuncheng's previous job involved buying other people's jobs.

With this hint, the other party finally remembered.

"Oh, it was you!"

I heard Lao Gu mention this story before; he said a young man was willing to sell his job.

We were discussing it at the time; a job provides a steady stream of income, so how could we make such an irrational decision for a short-term gain?
