Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Li Xiu also opened the door and saw Nian Lin standing there.

"No need. You're tired all day. You should go back to sleep. Linlin and I can go together."

After hearing what Tan Yuan said, Li Xiu didn't insist any more: "Okay, then you two should come back soon."

Tan Yuan and Nian Lin walked towards the brigade headquarters. No one spoke along the way, but they both felt warm in their hearts.

"Comrade Tan, please get ready. Our trade fair will officially begin the day after tomorrow morning."

Zhang Xingguo was not slow at all. He originally wanted to start tomorrow, but except for the sauce factory, the other factories said it was too late tomorrow and asked him to start after the Spring Festival.

Starting after the Spring Festival? Wouldn't that mean wasting several days? Zhang Xingguo certainly didn't want to do that. After much discussion, they finally decided to start the day after tomorrow.

It would be fine to start the day after tomorrow, so that everyone could have a day to prepare. He could obviously wait until daybreak to call Tan Yuan, but he felt that Tan Yuan must want to hear the news, so he called in advance.

"I hope I didn't disturb you at night?"

"Of course not, Comrade Zhang. I'm so glad you told me this news in advance. Everyone in our brigade will be happy! The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will definitely show you that your hard work these days has not been in vain!"

Tan Yuan was full of confidence, and her previous sleepiness had completely disappeared.

Hearing the joy in her tone, Zhang Xingguo was also infected and felt that such days were really good and more challenging than in Jinling.

"Then I'll wait and see."

After hanging up the phone, Tan Yuan and Nian Lin walked back under the moonlight.

"Linlin, are you hiding something from me?"

"...Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Nian Lin paused. Could it be that Tan Yuan knew about it? Was she being so obvious?

"Ah? I'm just asking. Linlin, you're my best friend. I hope you can trust me, just like I trust you."

Perhaps bewitched by the moonlight, Nian Lin was a little dazed: "Trust?"

"Yes, trust me. There are no secrets between us. No one hides anything from anyone. So I'm going to tell you a secret. Do you want to hear it?"

Tan Yuan turned her head and looked at Nian Lin, who had fallen two steps behind her since she didn't know when.

"Yeah." Nian Lin's voice was soft, but Tan Yuan could catch it in the quiet night.

"Zhao Yang is my cousin, you know this."

"Yeah, I know, you are relatives, but your relationship is not good."

When she saw Tan Yuan and Zhao Yang for the first time, she noticed that the relationship between the two was somewhat subtle. Having a half-sister, her sensitivity to some things was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"I'll tell you something you didn't know. Zhao Yang wanted to drug Tian Cuiying that day, and she asked a child to buy the medicine. Luo Linlin introduced that child to Zhao Yang. Luo Linlin also asked that child to help deliver the letter to Liang Jin."

Nian Lin: “Oh.”

"Hmm? Aren't you curious about how I know that?"

The word "oh" was so light that Tan Yuan almost missed it. She was surprised by Nian Lin's attitude. It was just such a simple word, nothing else.

"I'm not curious. Isn't this Zhao Yang asking for trouble? She wanted to frame Tian Cuiying, but Tian Cuiying didn't fall for it, and she was framed by others. This is her own problem and has nothing to do with you."

Nian Lin rarely spoke such a long string of words. Tan Yuan was stunned and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, Linlin, you're right. She brought this upon herself. It was just a coincidence. But guess who drugged Zhao Yang?"

Nian Lin looked up at Tan Yuan. The person in front of her was the same person who distributed eggs to her on the train. Her eyes softened a lot, and she was willing to cooperate with Tan Yuan's performance.

"who is it?"

Tan Yuan blinked at her and smiled slyly: "Hey, it's Zhou Dabao's mother, the one I sent to the farm. She gave him veterinary drugs, which are very strong."

Zhou Dabao's mother and aunt wanted Zhou Dabao to find a wife to carry on the Zhou family line, and they set their sights on Zhao Yang. However, Zhao Yang would rather have a ruined reputation than marry a fool and bear children for him, so their plan failed.

Zhao Yang was not a fool. He guessed that the Zhou family was responsible, but he had no evidence. Finally, he found a way to cripple Zhou Dabao and completely cut off the Zhou family's incense. If the Zhou family wanted to have offspring, they could only rely on the two brothers.

But if they could have had more children, Zhou Dabao wouldn't be the only one.

These people are really evil, and every evil will be punished by its own evil. Tan Yuan felt relieved. She had already investigated this matter clearly a long time ago, but no one had told it. Now that she told everything, she felt so relieved.

"Yuanyuan, I might have to leave."

Tan Yuan was still laughing, but when she heard this, the smile on her face paused, and she was incredulous: "What did you say? Say it again??!!"

She couldn't believe her ears. How could it be possible? How could it be early? Wasn't there still half a year left?

"I said I'm leaving, leaving after the New Year."

Nian Lin couldn't understand Tan Yuan. She just wanted to leave Huaiyin Brigade, so why were Tan Yuan's eyes full of sadness, as if she wanted to cry?

How could Tan Yuan cry? She should be lively and happy, just like she was just now, laughing freely and unrestrainedly.

"Where are you going? Don't you like accounting? Then let's not do it. What do you want to do? We'll do it, okay? Please don't leave, okay?"

Tan Yuan's voice was already tinged with tears. It was supposed to be six months before the end, so why had it been brought forward? Was it because of her? Had her arrival also brought Nian Lin's tragic fate forward? Could fate really not be changed? Everyone would end up following the same path as their previous life.

The sadness was so obvious, but Nian Lin didn't understand it, nor did she know how to solve the problem in front of her. If it were in the past, she would have chosen to ignore it and just walked away. It wasn't her fault, so what did it have to do with her?

But the Tan Yuan in front of her was the one she provoked, and she was so sad because she listened to her words. Nian Lin couldn't pretend not to see it. Was it because Tan Yuan couldn't bear to let her leave?

Nian Lin didn't know what to say to make her smile again. She just took a step forward and hugged Tan Yuan: "It's not that I don't like you, but I have things I have to do. We will meet again in the future. Can you wait for me for a few years? I will definitely come back."

She has her own responsibilities. She could have escaped from them before, but now she doesn't want to escape from them anymore. She should take on what she should bear.
