Originally, Wu Liguo was apprehensive about his current situation, worried that after meeting, he would be tempted to reconnect, causing trouble for his precious daughter. He thought it might be better to not meet at all, so he asked Old Yang to help send the person away. But Old Yang didn’t handle the matter well and ended up scaring Yinghong to the point she fainted. In such a rush, he revealed his identity, and there was no way he could continue pretending he didn’t exist. It was rare to have a chance to meet, so father and daughter decided to take the opportunity to talk openly about their feelings and emotions. This gave him a chance to understand why his well-arranged daughter suddenly changed her delicate nature and went to the northeast countryside alone. Talking about this, Wu Yinghong could only bitterly smile. Why, after learning from pain and gaining wisdom, did she not want to repeat the same mistakes? In her past life, she was arranged by her father to marry his friend’s son, her childhood sweetheart and love interest. Her father-in-law was iron-willed and upright, never swayed by her past circumstances, while her mother-in-law, who once claimed to cherish her like a daughter, changed her demeanor immediately. Initially, fearing her father might one day be exonerated, they used sarcastic remarks to slight her. After three years of marriage, with no sign of her father’s exoneration, the feigned kindness completely faded, replaced by the fierce face of an evil mother-in-law. Using the excuse of frugality, they dismissed the staff, forcing her to begin her hard life of washing clothes, cooking, and handling chores, eventually becoming a worn-out housewife. Soon, the evil mother-in-law and cunning sister-in-law started to select good girls for her husband, ones with matching family background and personality. The man who once swore he wouldn’t marry anyone but her, and only considered her his treasure, rarely stood up for her. Less than a year into their marriage, he got involved with his beloved sister’s female classmate, producing a daughter older by two months than her own son. The divorce that was initially planned was disrupted by her father’s sudden exoneration. The man, now estranged, became affectionate and gentle again, and the hostile mother-in-law and sister-in-law reverted to their former kindness and warmth. At that moment, she couldn’t even bear to look at them. For the sake of her two sons, she had to endure humiliation and maintain the facade of a loving couple, living a life apart yet together. Finally raising her sons into adults, she concluded her difficult and bitter life, hoping for everything to settle in death. Yet, unexpectedly, what followed was another cycle of beginnings. Reliving the months leading up to her marriage with that scoundrel, before any tragedy began. The first thing Wu Yinghong did was silently catch the scoundrel and his sister’s friend being intimate, giving them a hard slap, and making the situation known to her proud former father-in-law. Resolutely settling the marriage that had disgusted her all her life, she only requested to be a sent-down youth in Liu Family Village of Luohe Town, XX Province XX City, the place her father had once been exiled to. Of course, these painful yet mystical events were not something Wu Yinghong could confess to her father. Otherwise, he’d not only disbelieve but might also think she was suffering from hysteria and worry unnecessarily. She only said that in her past life, her unlucky husband Ling Yunxiao had unclear relationships with a female classmate outside, and she caught him red-handed. Instead of speaking sensibly, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law blamed her, accusing her of overreacting. They said she had no parents or reliance left and should be grateful for the Ling family for keeping her. "Damn it, is Ling blind? How dare his unlucky wife and spoiled daughter bully my precious daughter ! And that damn Ling Yunxiao, thinking that I, Wu Liguo, am down and out without anyone to back my precious daughter! Ha, best not let me rise again in this life. Otherwise, I’ll make sure they understand what regret truly means!" Wu Liguo, infuriated, slammed his fist down, causing the already unstable square table to completely collapse with a rumble. His anger was so intense that Old Yang and Liu Shouren, standing far outside, were startled, simultaneously feeling sympathy for Su family’s third son who had to make tables and stools for them every now and then. It was no wonder they were made roughly; they couldn’t withstand Wu’s explosive temper and his occasional outbursts! "Dad, don’t be angry. It’s better that I kicked him out now rather than find out he’s a bastard after marriage and kids, right?" Being able to reunite with her father under the shield of the Liu family’s siblings, spending these low years calmly, waiting for dawn to break. Wu Yinghong was too full of happiness, with no time for resentment and grief - were those scumbags even worth it? "My daughter is right, such an idiot, let him go if he’s gone. Tomorrow, Dad will find you someone better, don’t worry, don’t fret, okay?" Wu Liguo nodded repeatedly, wholly agreeing. Since things had reached this point, being free and open-minded was far better than sobbing and not letting go, wasn’t it? Father and daughter comforted each other, chatting endlessly for nearly half a day. It was Liu Shouren’s knock that suggested it was approaching noon, and if they didn’t leave, others might see them, prompting father and daughter to reluctantly say goodbye. Ensuring the safe, smooth return of the newly recognized sister, Wu Yinghong, fell under Wu Liguo’s serious assignment to his nephew. Thus, when Du Xuanxuan, the female sent-down youth from Shanghai, saw her long-absent roommate being sent back by the village’s handsome single accountant, Wu Shouren, who explained her disappearance was due to homesickness. She happened to meet Accountant Liu, who took her to see the brigade captain. The Liu siblings powerfully persuaded and comforted her feelings of homesickness well. Whether Du Xuanxuan believed this excuse was secondary; what was real was a deeper understanding of her quiet roommate’s ability to cling to connections. On the one hand, Wu Yinghong felt fortunate that her roommate was easy to deal with; on the other, she didn’t realize the scene of her and Liu Shouren walking one after the other on the mountain path was spread by some gossip-monger. Rumors spread at lightning speed, and now the entire Liu Family Village knew that their accountant had developed feelings for the newly arrived female sent-down youth. The two were spotted wandering up the mountain together and were surely starting a relationship! The rumors were detailed and realistic, making even Lian Shuzhen somewhat doubtful. The next morning after the village meeting, she couldn’t help but hint to her big brother. The main idea was: if you want to find us a new Saozi, she, as a sister, would welcome it. But can we not consider sent-down youths? Not knowing their backgrounds was secondary; the fear was that one day, when the sent-down youths could return to the city, the young woman might abandon her husband and children to go back!
