Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

139. Unreasonable

Su Jinru: "It's not as simple as you think. Once you go, it's not easy to come back unless there's a policy change. I don't want you to waste more than ten years of your youth there. You're a smart kid with a talent for studying, and you should continue your studies."

“I hope you will join the army. Isn’t this your dream since you were a child? If you join the army, you can go to military academy to continue your studies.”

An Xin also said, "Yes! Brother, you should have joined the army instead of going to that remote place to farm. You can farm anywhere, and you can train anywhere. Why do you have to go to such a desolate place? They're clearly trying to mess with you."

"How can I pretend to be sick so I don't have to go?"

An Xin: "Why don't you pour cold water on your head on Sunday and catch a cold?"

Su Jinru thought that a common cold would get better in three to five days, and she would have to go to the hospital after that.

She couldn't bear to let him use any other, more drastic methods.

Then I can only try to catch a cold first, and delay it for as long as possible, and then figure out a solution later.

Su Jinru said to her son, "Don't do anything to hurt yourself for now. I'll think of something else."

“Mom, I’m taller than you now, and you still have to worry about me. I don’t want you to continue to worry about me. It’s only a few days since I caught a cold. What happens when I get better? Should I keep pretending to be sick? Many of my classmates went to the countryside. If they can go, so can I. It’s nothing.”

"They're going too, but they can't get there. There are still two days left. Let's not give up and try again until the very last moment."

"You two go and rest!"

Watching her tall, slender son and graceful daughter leave, Su Jinru sat in her room, stunned for a long while.

Having been given a second chance at life, she absolutely cannot let her son be worse than in her previous life, otherwise her rebirth would have been in vain.

The next morning, Su Jinru went to work as usual.

Normally, when they're on duty, they're either sent to one rural area or another.

The leader wasn't here today. He said there was no need to go to the countryside for the next few days, as the crops were in their growth period and there was no need to go.

Normally, people chat casually at work if they have nothing to do, but lately, everyone has been keeping quiet and not daring to say much.

Just before lunchtime, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

Everyone rushed to the window to see what was happening.

Many people were running around in a chaotic manner in the street.

There was also the sound of police sirens.

What happened again? Everyone's heart was pounding. They were a little scared and a little curious, but no one went out to see what was going on.

The riots subsided, and the streets returned to calm.

When it was time to leave work, Su Jinru packed her things and headed out.

Other colleagues also went home after get off work.

When Su Jinru arrived at her doorstep, she saw several neighbors whispering among themselves, seemingly discussing something.

Su Jinru opened the door and went home.

Even before Su Jinru was at the door, Hei Zi knew she was back, and happily wagged its tail to welcome her home.

Su Jinru affectionately stroked its head.

Fortunately, there were haters protecting them at home; otherwise, the problems they faced might have been even more serious.

At least people like Li Jianming wouldn't dare to come and harass us again.

The two children had already prepared the meal at home.

Su Jinru originally went to work today intending to resign from her job and take her two children back to Daben Village to live.

With Township Head Wang and Sanbao around, she was confident she could transfer her household registration back and settle down in the countryside, which was the policy at the time, and she could be considered to be responding to the national call.

She enrolled in this class simply because she wanted to provide her two children with a better learning environment.

Now that her son is facing being assigned to a remote area, she might as well take her two children and return to Daben Village.

In Daben Village, the children are under her watchful eye, and she can protect them completely. She can also help them seize any good opportunities that arise.

But I don't know where the leader went today.

Su Jinru planned to go to work in the afternoon and then go to find her supervisor. If he still didn't come to work, she would go to his house to look for him.

Oh! No, why not go find it now!

"Let's try our luck at his house; maybe he'll be home for lunch."

Thinking of this, Su Jinru hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and was about to leave.

"Mom, it's not time for work yet, where are you going?" her son asked worriedly.

"I have to go out for a bit. You two stay home and don't go anywhere."

Anxin: "Mom, what happened this morning? There were so many people on the street, it was a mess."

Su Jinru: "I don't know what happened either. Let's not concern ourselves with other people's business."

An Ran: "I secretly went out to inquire and found out that this morning, while the leaders were having a meeting, some people suddenly rushed in and beat people up. Several people were killed, and some others were injured and sent to the hospital."

Su Jinru suddenly had a premonition that it might be related to Jin Gui.

"An Ran, who told you this? Is the news true?"

“I heard it from a classmate. His father is a policeman, and people from the armed forces department were also mobilized.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jinru felt inexplicably excited.

There's definitely hope for Jin Gui.

She didn't plan to go to the leaders, but instead wanted to go to Minister Ye to ask about the situation.

Because he was involved in arresting the assailant, he should know many details.

However, going directly to him is not very convenient. She went to his house to look for him last night, and now she's going again today. She doesn't know if she'll attract gossip again.

Su Jinru instructed her son, "Anran, don't go out again, and don't ask around. I'll go check on things."

Su Jinru went to her workplace immediately.

It wasn't yet afternoon work hours, and the office was quiet and empty. She went to the supervisor's office.

I wonder if Minister Ye is in his office at this time.

She dialed Minister Ye's office number.

Fortunately, the call went through and Minister Ye answered.

"Minister Ye, this is Su Jinru." Her voice was very excited.

"I can tell from your voice, you want to know what happened this morning, don't you?"

"Yes! What happened?"

"When those people were having a meeting, some people suddenly barged in and beat them up. Six people died on the spot, and more than ten others are in the hospital."

"How many people? How are they so powerful?"

"Some eyewitnesses said there were dozens of people, while others said there were hundreds. The exact number is unknown."

"Who are these people who beat people up? How dare they do this?"

"I heard they were wearing straw hats and masks, and I don't know what kind of people they were. They beat people up, smashed phones, and ran away. It was more than an hour before the police found out about it. By the time they arrived, they had already disappeared without a trace, and they didn't catch a single one. I heard they were very fast, like a gust of wind, suddenly sweeping in and then suddenly disappearing without a trace."
