Reborn in 1977, I will no longer be my brother's blood bag.

The next morning, Lin Xiuhe took half a day off.

She didn't want to delay the college entrance exam registration for even a moment. Having learned her lesson in her past life, she wouldn't place her hopes on others again in this one.

As soon as it was light, she rode the borrowed bicycle out the door.

The brigade headquarters was located at the east end of the production team, a row of red brick houses with faded slogans hanging at the entrance. A number of people had already arrived in the courtyard—some were collecting farm tools, some were getting certificates, and a few young people were preparing to register for the college entrance examination.

Everyone's faces were filled with excitement. For many, the resumption of the college entrance examination was a chance to change their fate.

Lin Xiuhe pushed the cart into the courtyard, and just as she reached the office door, she suddenly stopped.

There were people inside, and their voices sounded familiar.

"Old Wang, you have to help with this. Weidong is still young; we can't let one mistake ruin his life."

It is Lin Jianguo.

Lin Xiuhe's eyes turned slightly cold. She didn't go in, but stood outside the door and continued to listen.

"Jianguo," a middle-aged man's voice rang out, "Stealing money is stealing money, there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, the Liu family has already made a scene, how can I help them?"

There was a moment of silence in the room, then Lin Jianguo's low voice came through: "About Xiuhe's registration..."

Snapped.

It felt like something exploded in my mind.

Lin Xiuhe's eyes instantly turned cold. Sure enough, she hadn't guessed wrong.

"What do you mean?" Captain Wang's voice changed as well.

"She's still my daughter. With the family in such a mess right now, how can she possibly think about university? Besides, what's the point of a young woman studying so much? Can't we take it easy?"

Slowly.

That sounds nice, but everyone knows that college entrance exam registration only happens once. Once it's over, it's gone.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuhe pushed open the door.

boom--

Everyone in the office looked up at the same time.

Lin Jianguo's expression changed drastically; he clearly hadn't expected her to appear.

"Xiuhe?"

"Continue," Lin Xiuhe said calmly, standing in the doorway. "Why did you stop? I didn't hear you clearly—who needs a break?"

office……

Captain Wang looked at her, then at Lin Jianguo, his expression somewhat awkward: "Xiuhe, don't misunderstand."

"A misunderstanding?" Lin Xiuhe laughed. "I heard it with my own ears, what could I possibly misunderstand?"

One sentence left Lin Jianguo speechless, his face turning ashen: "I'm your father! Can't I even consider your feelings?"

"Considering my needs?" Lin Xiuhe looked at him, her gaze growing colder. "The college entrance exam has been reinstated, and you won't let me register. Is that what you call considering my needs?"

"Look at the state of the house now!" Lin Jianguo slammed his fist on the table. "Your brother's in trouble! And you still have the nerve to think about taking the exam?"

Finally, the real purpose was revealed.

Lin Xiuhe suddenly found it laughable.

In her past life, it was the same. Every time she wanted to move forward, someone would jump out and tell her: There's something going on at home, something is going on with your brother, you can't leave.

But why must she stop just because her brother has something to do?

"Did I tell Wei Dong to steal the money?" Lin Xiuhe asked.

The office quieted down.

"Did I ask the Liu family to break off the engagement?"

No one spoke.

"He did something wrong, why should I be responsible?"

Each sentence was powerful and resounding.

Even Captain Wang fell silent. Because what he said made no mistake—not a single mistake.

"I'm here today to get a letter of introduction," Lin Xiuhe said, placing the registration notice on the table. "I'm not here to discuss anything."

Captain Wang glanced down at the notice, then looked at Lin Jianguo, his face slowly darkening.

"Jianguo, I can't help you with this. The college entrance examination is a national policy, and no one can stop it. The letter of introduction is required."

As soon as the last sentence was spoken, Lin Jianguo's expression changed completely.

"Old Wang! This is my family's business!"

"Wrong," Captain Wang interrupted directly, "This is a matter of national importance."

……

Half an hour later, Lin Xiuhe walked out of the brigade headquarters with the stamped letter of introduction in her hand.

Sunlight fell on the paper, making the bright red official seal stand out.

She looked down at herself for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

It became.

In her past life, she couldn't even take this step. In this life, she finally achieved it.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "Got it?"

Lin Xiuhe turned around.

Zhou Zhiyuan stood outside the courtyard gate, looking as if he had just arrived, yet also as if he had been there for a long time.

"I got it." She waved the letter of introduction in her hand, unable to suppress her smile.

Zhou Zhiyuan looked at the paper and smiled: "Congratulations."

Those two simple words warmed Lin Xiuhe's heart.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, everyone has been asking: Can I pass? Is it worth it? Only he said: Congratulations.

It was as if from the very beginning, I believed she would definitely make it this far.

A breeze blew through the courtyard, causing the letter of introduction to sway gently.

Not far away, Lin Jianguo, standing by the office window, was staring intently at this scene, his face frighteningly gloomy.

Because he suddenly realized that things were spiraling out of control—completely out of control.
