She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

She had also seen the hesitation on Li Xiuzhu's face.

But she was helpless; without proof, Chen Xianghong couldn't return. If she went to the police, the captain's words were reasonable and well-founded; not every reason could be used to request leave to return to the city, and the police might not be able to resolve the issue.

Those who seek help from the commune may find themselves unfamiliar with the area and not necessarily have anyone to assist them.

The best choice right now is this little girl in front of me.

Chen Xianghong was only vaguely familiar with her and couldn't say a word. However, Old Lady Xia and Chen Xiangnan worked together seamlessly; Old Lady Xia was responsible for playing the victim, and Chen Xiangnan was responsible for comforting her.

"Xiuzhu, you must help your aunt! Waaah—my poor Xiang Hong!"

......

Before long, the naive girl Li Xiuzhu felt sympathy for Chen Xianghong. In addition, they had helped her before, so she agreed to talk to her father.

“My dad is in the fields. I’ll take you directly to him, but I don’t know if he’ll agree.” Li Xiuzhu saw how pitiful they were and was also worried that Chen Zhiqing might be unwell. If his condition was delayed, not only would his second uncle, who was also the brigade leader, be held responsible, but she would also feel guilty.

"I will try my best to persuade him." Li Xiuzhu made up her mind. Although Aunt Xia calling the police had indeed made Li Family Village lose face, if they hadn't done something wrong first, why would they have been taken away by the police?

It's understandable that her second uncle was angry, but you can't hold a grudge against someone just because of this. She personally thinks they're a really good family. How bad could someone be who would lend a helping hand to a stranger on a train?

Although the villagers no longer wanted to associate with them, and contacting them might even lead to gossip, she felt guilty for the rest of her life if she ignored the situation.

Li Xiuzhu was a simple girl who had lived to her teens and never done anything wrong. This matter was no exception, and she didn't care even if people talked about her.

She went to the edge of the field and talked to her father for a while. Grandma Xia and the others were standing by with red eyes, looking like they were about to cry. It was really quite pitiful.

Li Xiuzhu's father was initially reluctant, as gossip in the village would ruin her reputation. If Li Xiuzhu helped them today, how would she ever get married? He was unhappy; a girl's marriage was of paramount importance.

Their family originally had connections with the brigade leader, so Li Xiuzhu should have been able to find a good husband. But if her reputation is ruined, it's a lifelong issue.

But Li Xiuzhu was right; people should have a conscience and repay kindness. Her father was extremely conflicted, but in the end, he couldn't persuade Li Xiuzhu otherwise and agreed, after all, he had a favor to repay.

To repay the favor, Li Xiuzhu's father reluctantly led them to the brigade leader. Relying on his position as the brigade leader's older brother, he successfully helped Chen Xianghong obtain the necessary documentation.

Grandma Xia and the others were naturally grateful, and words of thanks poured out like they were free, making Li Xiuzhu's father feel embarrassed by the praise. Chen Xiangnan was the main force behind it all.

He didn't acquire his skills in coaxing people over the years for nothing; he has some real ability, and his methods actually work on men.

Chen Xiangnan seemed to be deep in thought.

Or how about we coax his dad into getting the job?

Chen Xiangnan still didn't want to work hard himself; he felt it was better to rely on his parents than on himself.

Chen Xianghong carefully placed the certificate, her heart pounding. Her mother had told her that she would never come back.

A few days ago, she gradually brought all her belongings to the guesthouse. Now there's nothing left to pack, so she can just go back, buy a ticket, and then go home.

Are we really going home?

Chen Xianghong's lips unconsciously curled up as she walked along the road, holding Xia's arm tightly. "Mom, I find it incredible."

Grandma Xia also found it unbelievable. She was going to take her daughter home, a living, breathing daughter who could run, jump, talk, and laugh.
