I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Once Jia Zhangshi was taken to the farm, the lazy body she had developed in the courtyard house became an absolute burden.

There was no Qin Huairu to serve her, no place for her to throw tantrums; there was only endless farm work and an endless supply of potatoes.

At first, she dared not speak out and pretended to be obedient for two days, but how could the arrogance in her bones be hidden forever?

A few days later, in order to avoid doing farm work, she started throwing a tantrum at the guards: "You bunch of slave owners! Do you want to work me to death? This awful work is inhuman! I want to go home!"

The guard glanced at her but didn't say a word.

The prisoner next to him looked at him with an expression as if he were mentally challenged.

Jia Zhangshi felt a growing sense of panic, but she kept up a brave front.

Sure enough, as night fell, her nightmare had only just begun.

That evening, the guards informed her that she needed to be moved to a different room.

Jia Zhangshi instantly exploded: "I won't change it! Why should I change it? I'd rather die than change it!"

The ward didn't waste any words with her; he simply waved his hand, ordering her original roommates to pack their things and move out immediately.

That night, a dozen burly, fierce-looking female prisoners moved into her room. Their ruthlessness sent chills down Jia Zhangshi's spine, and fear rose in her heart for the first time.

Late at night, Jia Zhangshi was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep when suddenly a quilt was pulled down on her.

Immediately afterwards, several rough hands reached into the blanket and pinched and twisted the fat parts of her body, with such force that it felt like they were going to tear her flesh off, causing her to convulse in pain.

She screamed in excruciating pain, and even her large millstone couldn't escape its cruel hand.

Jia Zhangshi kicked and struggled desperately, using her last bit of strength to shout for discipline.

When the guards arrived, the dozen or so female prisoners were already fast asleep and lying down peacefully.

"Discipline her, she's having a nightmare and going crazy, it has nothing to do with us."

The guard looked at the marks on her body, but there was no sympathy in his eyes, only a half-smile of scrutiny.

Jia Zhangshi immediately got goosebumps all over her body, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

This torment continued day after day for more than a month.

She was starving and freezing, enveloped only by endless loneliness and fear.

At first, she held on with a stubborn belief: Dongxu, my son, you will definitely come to save your mother! You are my life, I can't die here!

Suddenly one day, a bolt from the blue struck her hard: someone dug up all of Old Jia's old grievances from back then!

Before she could recover from the shock, she was informed that because of Lao Jia's problems, she and Jia Dongxu were both classified as "black five categories," and her sentence was extended by more than ten years!

Jia Zhangshi's vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.

Perhaps there is always a glimmer of hope in desperate situations. During one exercise period, she suddenly saw two prisoners clutching stones, sneaking around behind another female prisoner with sinister eyes, clearly intending to kill her.

At that moment, Jia Zhangshi didn't know where she got the courage from. Perhaps it was the empathy of those who shared the same fate, or perhaps it was the anger that had been pent up for too long that needed to be vented. Without thinking, she rushed forward and started fighting with the two men, screaming.

She later learned that the person she had saved was actually the head of the farm, who had many followers and was quite influential among the prisoners.

The eldest sister was grateful for her life-saving grace, and also felt that she had a strong personality and got along well with her. The two hit it off more and more as they chatted, and decided to become sworn sisters.

With the protection of the eldest sister, no one dared to bully Jia Zhangshi anymore, and she no longer had to live in fear.

She thought she would spend the rest of her life on this farm until she died.

But this morning, the guards suddenly took her out and took her all the way to the neighborhood office.

As she arrived at the neighborhood office's courtyard, watching the handover procedures between the guards and the neighborhood office staff, she felt uneasy.

Suddenly, a voice came from inside the courtyard: "Impossible! Director Wang, you've made a complete mistake! I haven't divorced Qin Huairu, much less transferred the house to her! The neighborhood committee must have made a mistake! This is absolutely impossible! I've never signed anything like this!"

That sound! Jia Zhangshi froze, then rushed into the house.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jia Dongxu trembling all over, his eyes frighteningly red.

Madam Jia's voice trembled: "Dongxu! My son! What's wrong? What did you just say? Qin Huairu has taken over our house and your workstation?"

Jia Dongxu was taken aback at first, then looked up blankly, his eyes full of unfamiliarity. "Who are you?"

A pang of sorrow gripped Jia Zhangshi's heart, and tears welled up instantly. She quickly pointed to her face, choking back sobs, and said, "Dongxu, it's me! It's your mother! Look at me, it's my mother!"

All the hardships and grievances she had endured on the farm over the years finally broke her down when her son didn't recognize her.

Only then did Jia Dongxu take a closer look and realize that although the person in front of him was extremely thin, his features clearly resembled his own mother!

All the pent-up grievances and fears in his heart erupted instantly, and he burst into tears, clinging tightly to Jia Zhangshi: "Mother! It's you! I've been living such a miserable life! That bitch Qin Huairu, she deceived our whole family!"

The mother and son hugged and cried for a long time before Jia Zhangshi, barely suppressing her grief, managed to explain the situation to Jie Dongxu in fits and starts.

"Mom, do you mean those documents Qin Huairu made me sign at the police station are my voluntary divorce papers, job transfer documents, and house transfer documents?"

Madam Jia nodded heavily. The Jia family had been terribly ruined by that little harlot, Qin Huairu!

Thinking of this, she suddenly knelt down in front of Director Wang, who had been watching for a long time.

This sudden kneeling startled Director Wang, who quickly stepped forward to help her up.

Director Wang had only been at the subdistrict office for a short time and didn't know much about Jia Zhangshi's situation. When he heard that a rural wife dared to cheat her husband's family out of their house and job, and even secretly got a divorce, his heart skipped a beat.

This was no small matter! She didn't dare delay and immediately called over Xiao Zhang, who had handled the divorce proceedings before, to inquire about the details.

Xiao Zhang turned pale with fright and explained with a wronged expression, "Director, Qin Huairu said that Jia Dongxu was afraid that his imprisonment would affect the children, so he took the initiative to file for divorce and gave a bunch of reasons. I didn't think much of it and just went through with the procedures..."

After hearing this, Director Wang thought to himself, "Oh no!" This was clearly a procedural violation! If Jia Dongxu had already been sentenced at that time, a divorce could still be granted according to the law.

At that time, Jia Dongxu had only been arrested and had not yet been sentenced. Even if they wanted to divorce, they had to verify the situation with Jia Dongxu in person! This was a serious oversight, and if the Jia family really made a scene, they would be held accountable!

Thinking of this, Director Wang's face turned ashen as he gave Xiao Zhang a severe dressing-down. After finishing, he turned to Jia Zhangshi, suppressing his anger, and said, "Jia Zhangshi, your relationship with Jia Dongxu has been transferred back to the street office. You will be undergoing labor reform here. I'll give you half a day. Go back and try to resolve your family's problems yourself. If it's just a misunderstanding, there's no need to make a scene. If you really can't resolve it, then come back to the street office for help."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up instantly: "Thank you, Director Wang! Thank you, Director Wang! I'll take Dongxu home to visit him right away. Don't worry, we'll definitely be at the subdistrict office on time tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, fearing that Director Wang would change his mind, she quickly grabbed the still sobbing Jia Dongxu and rushed out. She was going to settle accounts with Qin Huairu! She wanted to get back everything that belonged to the Jia family!

Only after the mother and son disappeared through the door did Director Wang breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

She deliberately didn't mention Qin Huairu and Banggeng's matter just now. If Jia Zhangshi insists on bringing up the issue of irregularities in the divorce proceedings and it gets to the higher authorities, the street office will definitely be in trouble.

She turned to look at Xiao Zhang, who was trembling with fear, her face extremely grim. Her tone was icy as she warned, "This is a mess you created; you'll have to figure out how to fix it yourself. If you force me to intervene, you should know what the consequences will be."
