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

"Ke Ge must be having a tough time all by himself."

“He’s a man, he’s strong. Three big bags are nothing. When your dad and I first moved to this compound, he carried five big bags by himself. I, a woman, could carry three bags too. It’s nothing.” Grandma Xia patted her second son. “Second son, can you do it?”

Chen Xiangnan kept his resentful gaze fixed on Chen Xianghong. He was almost exhausted because of her, but he still had to answer, "I can do it, Mom."

The three of them, carrying large and small bags, arrived in Haishi. After asking for directions along the way and wandering around for a long time, they finally arrived at the destination on the note.

The three of them stared wide-eyed at the place...

Seeing the expressionless guards standing outside the door, the three of them stopped moving.

Grandma Xia: My goodness, where have we come to? We've come here out of nowhere, are they going to arrest us?

She carefully examined the note, meticulously checked the address, and scrutinized it repeatedly.

The sentry standing guard at the gate saw that they were still outside and hadn't left, so he ran over to ask them what was wrong.

Grandma Xia was a little nervous, so Chen Xiangnan took over the conversation, explained the reason for coming, confirmed the address with the sentry, and after receiving a definite answer, urged Grandma Xia to hand over the note to them.

After the sentry took it, he made a phone call, and then someone came and took the item upstairs. The sentry then ran out and told them to wait aside.

Grandma Xia was starting to regret it. What if something happened? Wouldn't they be implicated? She wished she hadn't helped them. How would ordinary people like them have any connection to military affairs?

These people look really fierce; I just warned them not to look around. The three of them stood outside like statues, staring at the ground, afraid to move.

Feeling uneasy, they were led inside to an office where a man was sitting and waiting for them.

The other party politely asked them to sit down and then began asking questions.

"My sister... how have you been all these years?"

Grandma Xia scratched her head. Isn't that obvious? She replied, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably not good, otherwise I wouldn't have written this for you."

Yu Hongzhen: ...That's true. If her younger sister wasn't rebellious, she wouldn't have participated in the Down to the Countryside Movement. Now she knows to come for help, but why hasn't she written a letter home all these years?

He then asked about the situation in that village, and Chen Xianghong answered haltingly, describing everything about their village in great detail. As for the people in the village, she dared not say, for fear that he might make the wrong judgment. In the end, she added a little more about the family that the educated youth had married into.

Seeing Yu Hongzhen clench his fist tighter and tighter, Chen Xianghong became even more frightened and finally lowered her head, no longer daring to speak.

"Thank you all for helping to deliver the letter. My sister's situation is urgent. Please stay here for now, and I'll have someone show you around for a few days. I'll thank you properly once I bring my sister here."

Grandma Xia: "No need, we're just delivering a letter, it's nothing. We're in a hurry to get back, we have some things to take care of at home."

Seeing that they didn't seem to be refusing, Yu Hongzhen agreed, "How about I have someone take you to the train station? Once I pick up my sister, I'll definitely come to thank you in person."

The group declined repeatedly, but seeing that he was in a hurry to pick someone up, they wisely left without saying anything more.

The three were quite excited to be riding in a military vehicle for the first time, even though it was a rather uncomfortable ride. However, they didn't dare to touch or look around, and obediently waited until they reached the train station.

The driver who took them even used his connections to get them sleeper berths, saving them a lot of time by eliminating the need to queue for tickets.

"This can be considered a blessing in disguise." Grandma Xia lay on the sleeper berth, feeling quite pleased. It was indeed more comfortable than the hard seat.

These days, sleeper berths aren't something just anyone can buy; only people with connections and high status can ride in them. This time, an old lady like her managed to get one, so she can brag about it when she gets back.

Chen Xiangnan was also happy. The hard seat he took on the way here had left him with a bad memory. Even now, his back and buttocks still ached, but he didn't dare to say anything. He didn't know if it was because he had too much luggage or because of the train.
