Oh no! The leader's young wife is demanding a divorce every night!

The long-sealed memories are gradually being unlocked.

Back then, when Xiao Chengji carried the shivering baby home in the freezing cold, Xiao Congwen was already twelve years old and a sensible young man.

He never rejected this little sister who had suddenly arrived; on the contrary, he was overjoyed and loved her dearly.

The gentle and sweet name "Ruoxin" was carefully chosen for his younger sister after he spent three days looking up each character in the dictionary.

Who knew that when it came time to register the household registration, that muddle-headed registrar had mistaken it for Xiao Re.

Because the registrar had a low level of education and was not proficient in using computers, canceling the correction would be very troublesome. Xiao Chengji was also an honest, kind-hearted, and mild-mannered person who dared not argue.

"Fine, whatever, it sounds pretty good!"

From then on, Qingkou Town gained a mischievous, fearless, and trouble-making "troublemaker."

Hearing his childhood nickname, Xiao Re's beautiful lips curved into a gentle smile, and she waved cheerfully to greet him.

"Big brother, my name isn't Ruoxin anymore, it's Xiao Re. Re means to provoke or to cause trouble."

"Because I'm always causing trouble, catching chickens, chasing dogs, and burning haystacks every day, people in town call me a rascal."

puff-

Upon hearing this, Xiao Congwen couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He gazed at his lively and beautiful younger sister, still as fond of her as he had been when they first met twenty years ago.

"Xiao Re, that's great!"

"Your fearless and troublesome nature is perfect for curing your father's tendency to be a pushover!"

If it weren't for his father's cruel, compassionate heart that couldn't bear to see people suffer, which squandered all the family's savings, even his school fees, on medicine for the sick, and the fact that he picked up a sick baby girl who was almost beyond saving, how could his mother have taken him away from home to seek refuge with his maternal grandfather and uncle?

After he grew up, he returned to Qingkou Town twice, wanting to give his father some money so that he could enjoy a comfortable life.

The first time, however, I happened to see him treating a seventy-year-old woman. Because she was poor, he not only didn't charge her a penny for the consultation or medicine, but also gave her fifty dollars.

The second time, they encountered a little boy begging for food. He was crying his eyes out and looked pitiful. Based on just a few well-rehearsed sob stories, they gave him another two hundred yuan.

Finally, Xiao exposed him on the spot, saying he had been tricked. He even laughed and said, "Oh well, just consider it a good deed! A good deed every day will surely bring blessings."

If they weren't truly poor, why would any child be begging?

Xiao Congwen, who was standing at a distance, stormed off in anger.

Mother is right. Even if a dog can change its nature, your father can't change his kind heart.

No matter how much money you give him, he'll squander it all.

From then on, Xiao Congwen never returned to his hometown. He had completely let go of his resentment and was too lazy to care about it anymore.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, my father's soft-hearted nature, which had become rotten, was actually cured by my little sister's wild and mischievous nature.

Later, I happened to hear about it from a fellow villager.

"Oh dear, you know, that kind and benevolent Doctor Xiao from Qingkou Town, he's busy cleaning up the messes his daughter makes every day. He has no time for doing good deeds!"

"We stopped providing free medical treatment a long time ago!"

He laughed for days after hearing the news. Now, hearing his younger sister say this...

It appears to be true.

Xiao Congwen wanted to ask his sister if she was still studying and if she was doing well, but Xiao Re interrupted him directly.

"Brother, now is not the time for reminiscing. Dad and I are doing well. I bought them a house in Jizhou, and your mother and An'an live with them."

"I came today mainly because I was worried about you. I wanted to ask if you've encountered any difficulties here, and if there's anything we can do to help you."

As long as his parents and daughter are properly taken care of and don't end up on the streets, what is this little bit of hardship he's endured?

Xiao Congwen smiled and joked casually.

"I'm doing great here. I exercise every day and have even learned how to clear land and farm. I even gained two pounds last month."

"In two years and four months, I will be released after my labor camp term ends, so don't worry."

"Please take good care of Father, Mother, and An'an, little sister."

Although Xiao Re didn't have much affection for his elder brother, he was his father's biological son and one of his few relatives, so he still had to find a way to get him out.

That way, I can put my father's mind at ease.

Moreover, judging from his character, speech, and manners, he should be a responsible, dependable, and principled good man.

"Are there any precedents of people here being released early?"

"Or rather, is there a legitimate way to get you out? I'll try to figure something out!"

Seeing that Xiao Re spoke with conviction and a firm attitude, Xiao Congwen knew that his younger sister truly cared about him.

Moreover, they also possess a certain status and abilities.

However, he was a person transferred to a lower-level position due to policy reasons. Although he was not a criminal, his family background was not good. If he were to use his connections or influence to get out through back channels, it would easily give others a handle to use against him.

If I were reported by some shady characters, it would definitely implicate my sister and family.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Congwen rejected her suggestion outright and solemnly warned Xiao Re.

"Little sister, don't think of any crooked or shady methods. People sent to farms have no other way to make a living except for those who have completed their reformation period or are seriously ill or disabled."

"Don't get yourself into trouble because of your older brother."

"As long as my family is safe and healthy, what am I afraid of if I have to endure two more years?"

"Here, we have enough to eat and wear every day. Apart from the austerity, everything else is great."

"Be good! Listen to me! Take your father back home, don't overthink things. I'm so happy you came to see your older brother!"

The more Xiao Congwen said this, the more it proved that he was an upright, honest, and selfless man.

He possesses noble qualities such as clear-headedness, self-control, and deep affection, as well as an unyielding and upright character.

Xiao Re, the eldest brother who truly loves his younger sister, how could he bear to let her suffer on this desolate and barren farm?

We are determined to get him out of this hellish place.

"Big brother! Stop talking nonsense. I said I'd get you out, and I will definitely find a way to get you out."

"Just tell me what method is the most reliable, what path is the best to take, and what won't give others cause for gossip."

"The rest is my business."

Seeing Xiao Re's firm attitude and determination to plan for him, she seemed determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.

Xiao Congwen stopped being coy and quietly leaned close to her ear, telling her two ways to get released through proper channels.

"Little Rascal, I know you have powerful connections, but don't act rashly. People are complicated; always protect yourself and cherish your reputation."

"As far as I know, there are only two ways to leave the farm early. One is to be seconded to a special agency or unit."

"Second, to offset my mistakes with my merits, to clear my name of being a capitalist merchant, to remove me from the list of those sent down to the countryside, and to release me from labor reform."
