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

"Why me? How could it be me? Uncle and aunt, did I hear it wrong? Shouldn't it be my cousin?"

Tan Yuan kept questioning, how come she became the one who did it when it was clearly something they had agreed on long ago.

"My parents sacrificed their lives for the country. I'm an only child, how could I possibly go to the countryside? Besides, the country gave me a job. Did they remember it wrong? No, I have to get it straight!"

As she said this, she broke free from Li Aidi's arms and was about to chase the person who had just announced the news.

Li Aidi quickly reached out and held her tightly, and at the same time signaled to Zhao Yang and Zhao Debang, asking them to come up and help.

So the scene turned into the three people from the Zhao family holding Tan Yuan tightly and not letting her leave.

"Yuanyuan, don't be impulsive. If you go over there like this, won't they kick you out?"

"It was clearly their fault at work, so why did they kick me out? If they don't want to admit it, I can just sue them. My situation doesn't require me to go to the countryside!"

Her reaction was what they had expected long ago, and Li Aidi hugged her to calm her excitement.

"Hey, don't worry. I'll ask your uncle to go over and find out what's going on. We must seek justice."

After saying that, Zhao Debang responded and walked out angrily.

"Aunt, when you were reporting your names..."

"How is that possible! I clearly reported that your cousin is already prepared. Don't you believe your aunt?"

As she spoke, she began to wipe away her tears, looking heartbroken.

"Yuanyuan, don't you know how much my mom loves you? Can't you feel it? In this family, my brother and I have to come after you. What you said really hurts our hearts."

Zhao Yang said a few words in dissatisfaction, and she looked at Tan Yuan with condemnation, as if she had done something extremely evil.

This was the case in her previous life. As long as she showed the slightest suspicion, her cousin Zhao Yang would stand up to uphold justice and start moral blackmail, and she would unknowingly step into the trap set by the two.

However, she had no intention of breaking up with them in this life. It wasn't the right time yet, so she could only continue to act with them. She hadn't even wiped the tears from her face when she began to comfort Li Aidi again.

"Aunt, that's not what I meant. I was just... I was just too anxious."

Li Aidi gave a wry smile, shook her head, and said sympathetically, "I raised you with my own hands, how could I not trust you? Don't worry, your uncle will definitely seek justice for you."

Tan Yuan sneered in her heart. When Li Aidi came to this family, she was already eight years old. Why would she need to take care of everything for her?

"Hey, Yuanyuan, this matter has been decided and it can't be changed."

Not long after, Zhao Debang came back from outside, sighing as he walked.

"The people at the subdistrict office said that you wrote a voluntary application form yourself, with your signature and fingerprint on it. The list has already been submitted and cannot be changed."

"How is that possible? How could I possibly write something like that? They're clearly lying!"

Tan Yuan yelled loudly, saying that she wanted to go to the street office to clarify the matter and find out who submitted this so-called application form!

"I've already inquired about this matter. They said that the person from the street office was out on business, and when he came back, your application form was left on the table."

"Oh, this is like cutting my heart, isn't it? Old Zhao, is there really no other way? Let them replace her with Yaozu. Yuanyuan is my child who grew up in my hands, I can't bear to let her go."

Li Aidi cried and insisted that Zhao Debang replace the person going to the countryside with Zhao Yaozu.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Debang shouted.

"Do you think our family can give this name to anyone we want? Don't I love Yuanyuan? She is my sister's only blood!"

"I've already asked about this, and they said no. If you insist on making trouble, then both my husband and I will have to give up our jobs. Will our family be left with nothing in the future?"

"Really...really, it can't be changed?"

Seeing that their double act was almost over, Tan Yuan finally spoke.

"Yuanyuan, we can't do this anymore. This is a nail in the coffin. We can't just do whatever we want."

Zhao Debang comforted Tan Yuan: "Go well, people who go to the countryside here get one home leave every year, so go with peace of mind. Come back to visit your family during the Chinese New Year, and your uncle will try to find you a job. Then we can recruit you back to the city."

This is exactly the same rhetoric as in my previous life. I felt touched in my previous life, but now, I just feel disgusted.

She lowered her eyes to hide the disgust in them.

"Okay, but uncle and aunt, you know I've never suffered hardship or done any hard labor in my life. I heard that going to the countryside means I have to carry manure to the fields. I can't bear that kind of hardship."

"Yes, yes, Lao Zhao, go to the house and get some money. Let's buy some more things for Yuanyuan and send her some food every month. Don't make my heart suffer."

"Aunt, it's hard for me to carry all this food even if you guys buy it. You should just give me the national food coupons and money. I can buy it when I get to the place. I also need to take some money with me."

Tan Yuan stopped Zhao Debang from going back to the room to get the money. This was what happened in her previous life. She brought a lot of food with her and ended up being exhausted. When she arrived at the destination, she found out that she could buy food directly from the villagers or go to the nearby county town to buy it with food coupons. She had carried dozens of kilograms of food across half of China for nothing.

"Yes, yes, Yuanyuan is really considerate. I'll do whatever you say. How much money do you want? I'll ask your uncle to borrow money."

As long as Tan Yuan doesn't make a fuss and stays quiet, there's no problem with giving her some money and food.

"No need, uncle and aunt. It's been very difficult for you to raise me. How can I ask for your money and tickets? I'll just use my own allowance. Didn't aunt help save it? I'm older now and I have to learn to manage my own money. Just give me the allowance I've been receiving over the years."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the air fell into an inexplicable silence, but Tan Yuan still looked naive and oblivious.

"My monthly allowance is 30 yuan, which is 360 yuan a year. My aunt asked me to save it for her, so in ten years it should be 3,600 yuan. I'll take 3,000 yuan, and the remaining 600 yuan will be my gift to my uncle and aunt."

These are just cash. Tan Yuan has not yet counted the various tickets she has received over the years. If she converts them carefully, she will have to add more than double to it.
