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

Chapter 40 The Scumbag and the Bitchy Girl Arrive
The two exchanged a glance; having come this far, there was no turning back.

It's still very necessary to find out the details.

"Captain, I wonder what the background of this brother and sister is?"

The brigade leader of Liushuyazigou didn't keep it a secret; he told the children about it beforehand so they could be mentally prepared.

From now on, since we'll all be staying in our own villages, it's best to avoid trouble.

"The Chen family lives in our town. Chen Baoqin's husband happens to be a member of the inspection team."

Relying on this connection, Chen Baosheng often acted arrogantly and domineeringly.

The members of our production teams all know about the Chen family, but they don't go against them.

Yes, nowadays, villages are all renamed production teams.

But because of the long-standing custom, people still prefer to call it a village, and not many people come to manage it.

Upon hearing this, Huang Chunjing was extremely unwilling.

"We had a conflict on the train. Chen Baosheng's harassment was his own problem."

There are laws in this world, I'm not afraid of them.

This young girl, with her arms crossed, is like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger—that perfectly describes her right now.

Ji Shuyin knew that once they were on someone else's turf, and given their status as inspectors, it would be easy for them to cause trouble.

The saying "even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake" perfectly illustrates this point.

"Captain, thank you for telling us all this. We will be more careful in the future."

Seeing that she was quite sensible, they were relieved.

"The Chen family also has powerful relatives in other provinces."

This time, I'm going to visit relatives.

Don't blame me for being nosy, but it's best to stay away from people like that next time.

Furthermore, our production team will not stand idly by.

As long as you don't make mistakes and don't give anyone any leverage over you, everything is negotiable.

After hearing this, the two quickly expressed their gratitude.

Huang Chunjing was still somewhat indignant, but she had a pretty good impression of the brigade leader.

“Look, even the brigade leader is on our side. The Chen siblings definitely won’t dare to do anything.”

"Alas, you've misspoke."

The captain just didn't want any trouble. We're in a new environment now, unfamiliar with everyone and everything, so we need to be careful with our words and actions.

Huang Chunjing didn't quite understand, and she refused to say more.

Some things don't need to be explained so clearly.

Upon arriving in the village, the group moved into the educated youth settlement.

This house was specially renovated; it used to be an old house belonging to a landlord.

You can still tell the layout of the courtyard; the girls live in the back dormitory, while the boys live in the front courtyard.

There were a few educated youths left here, but they all went to work in the fields.

Four students stayed in their previous dormitories, while the remaining four were assigned to new dormitories.

Huang Chunjing was with her; there was a large kang (heated brick bed) inside, and everyone needed to sleep together.

Everyone had their own luggage pack, so they could be considered to have their own little plot of land.

Ji Shuyin felt particularly uncomfortable. She had always lived alone in her own room since she was a child, and now there were so many people around.

Even worse, new people will move in later, which is really inconvenient.

Moreover, in communal living, if you eat something nice or use something nice, others will see it, which is not good!

Later that evening, the older educated youth from the settlement returned; they weren't from the same place as them.

However, they were all very enthusiastic.

We're taking them all along; we're going to have dinner at the team headquarters today, as a welcome-back dinner for them.

Jiang Shi'an sat down next to her without making a sound. The food was good today; there was even stewed chicken. They had really spared no expense. Of course, it was all team property.

"How are you doing? Are you able to adapt?"

Upon hearing this, she gave a wry smile, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"To be honest, it's going to be hard to adapt. With so many people living together, there's no privacy at all."

But right now, there's nothing I can do.

Jiang Shi'an thought so too, and pondered for a moment.

"Don't worry, let's not stand out too much lately."

Let's bear with it for a few days, see how things go here, and then we'll figure out how to move out!

He said "we," not referring to Ji Shuyin alone.

She didn't care, knowing that this was the inevitable trend and there was nothing else she could do.

The next day they didn't have to work, and a special car was provided to take them to Shousong County so they could buy some daily necessities.

Jiang Shi'an was going to the post office; he had sent quite a few things before, so Ji Shuyin went with him.

Fortunately, I was prepared and brought back some things, including food, daily necessities, and other groceries.

Most of them were taken out of the space.

Huang Chunjing and Feng Jinghuan also bought some daily necessities, and they were able to settle down.

For the remaining days, the brigade leader had the former educated youth take them to the fields, and they toured all the areas that needed to be toured.

There's not much work to do now, just weeding and such.

The main reason is that the Liushuyazigou production team has many side businesses, such as growing vegetables and raising chickens, ducks, pigs and cattle, so there is work to do every day.

For the educated youth, it wasn't that complicated; they could ask for leave anytime they didn't want to work.

Anyway, work points are awarded based on workload. As long as it doesn't interfere with spring planting and autumn harvest, everything else is negotiable.

Before she knew it, half a month had passed, and Ji Shuyin had become familiar with many things.

The local customs and traditions, including daily routines, are exactly the same as in my dream.

Everyone in the dormitory got along fairly well; at least there weren't any major conflicts.

Since we're all from the same place, our lifestyles are quite similar.

There's just no time to be alone, and there's still so much stuff in the space that I haven't tidied up yet!
It's all messy now, and I don't have time to take care of the vegetables I grow.

Those leafy vegetables have grown quite tall.

However, the plants are planted too densely, limiting their growing space, and urgently need to be addressed.

The rest also need to be supported with sticks, especially climbing plants like cucumbers and green beans, which are already lying on the ground.

She was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

I can only sneak in for three to five minutes each day, and I have to be careful not to let anyone discover my little secret. It's really too difficult.

That day, more educated youth came; their production team also had openings.

Jiang Shi'an went along to pick them up, but he didn't go to work with them in the morning.

In the afternoon, the people arrived, and as before, they held a simple welcome party.

And you can also get a good meal.

Ji Shuyin, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted Gu Yuncheng and Tang Weiyu, who were covered in dust and dirt, in the car.

Here comes, finally here!
Judging from his current state, he's probably still in a daze.

The captain led a group of people out to welcome them, and she and Huang Chunjing were among them.

When introducing himself, Gu Yuncheng straightened his back and regained a sense of superiority.

"My name is Gu Yuncheng. I used to be a publicist at the machinery factory. I'm here today because..."

"Shuyin, Ji Shuyin, what are you doing here?"
