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

“There was an elderly couple from the Chinese Academy of Sciences who had been sent to the countryside. I don’t know who they offended. The man was beaten and couldn’t get medical treatment. He was in critical condition. I helped them buy medicine, and then someone reported me.”

"Who reported this? I think they're asking for trouble."

“Now, the whistleblower has been arrested. This morning, a PD meeting was held in the township government compound. Everyone was required to go and watch. My mother and I, the three of us, are not registered here, so we didn’t have to go. We didn’t go to watch.”

Yuan Wenjie kissed her on the cheek.

"She reported you, but ended up being made an example of, while you suffered no harm whatsoever."

"Yeah! It's refreshing, isn't it!"

"I didn't realize you had any ability in Daben Village."

"It's not a matter of ability, it's about popularity. During the famine, the new products I researched saved many people in Daben Township. Some people were ungrateful, but most of them were people with a conscience."

Yuan Wenjie flicked her nose with his finger: "You! You've got some nerve. Everyone else avoids you like the plague, but you're still going up to them."

"Jin Gui was beaten to a pulp, but I believe him. He was framed out of jealousy. Those two old people looked kind and gentle. How could they be bad people? Putting all that aside, they were just two pitiful old people. I couldn't just stand by and watch them die!"

Yuan Wenjie kissed her on the cheek.

"Okay! I like your slightly absent-minded yet stubborn personality."

He released her: "I'll deal with you tonight."

Su Jinru poured the water from the thermos into a basin.

"You wash your face first, I'll go inside and get the fruit."

Su Jinru went inside and took out a variety of fruits from her spatial storage.

Some of it was kept at home to eat, and the rest was packed into a large cloth bag to take to her parents' home.

She also took out some vegetables and meat.

Seeing that Su Jinru had brought out so much fruit and food, Yuan Wenjie joked, "It's like you have a treasure trove in your house; you can bring out all sorts of good things."

“You said you wouldn’t ask me where my food came from.”

"I don't ask questions or feel curious; as long as I have food, that's fine with me."

Yuan Wenjie and Su Jinru entered the room carrying many things.

"Ayu, come quickly and help."

Su Jinyu ran over.

"Big sister, why did you buy so much stuff?"

"You haven't been back for so many years, so of course we'll treat you well this time."

Su Jinyu scolded him.

"I'm part of this family too, don't treat me like an outsider."

Liu Yulan took the vegetables from Yuan Wenjie's hand.

"Go and chat with Chunsheng."

"You two are quite destined to meet. Chunsheng and Wenjie served in the same unit, and now they've married sisters. It's such a coincidence that no one would believe it if you told them."

Yuan Wenjie, however, glared at Ma Chunsheng.

"She only came back to visit her parents after having a baby, and now she wants to act like a king and get everything done for her."

Ma Chunsheng stood up and chuckled awkwardly.

"I told them I wanted to go to the kitchen to cook, but they wouldn't let me."

Su Jinru said, "Chunsheng, don't listen to him, he's just joking with you! You must have had a tough journey, right? Sit down and have a good rest."

As Su Jinru spoke, she nudged Yuan Wenjie.

"Why don't you go sit down and rest for a bit? You must be tired from being out and about these past few days!"

Let's help cook! There's strength in numbers!

"No need, the kitchen can't accommodate that many people. You can just sit and wait for dinner to be served."

As Su Jinru spoke, she tore off a banana for Yuan Wenjie, then another for Ma Chunsheng, and also for Xiao Shitou and his father.

She said to An Xin and An Ran, "Take whatever fruit you want."

An Xin volunteered, "I want to eat grapes, I'll go wash them."

An Ran: "I want to eat an orange. I'll cut it up."

Little Stone has become familiar with An Xin and An Ran, and he especially enjoys playing with them. Wherever they go, he follows.

Liu Yulan said, "Anxin, you just need to take care of Xiaoshitou. I'll wash the grapes."

Little Stone hugged An Xin's leg, so An Xin had to squat down and pull Little Stone aside.

"Okay! Sister will play with Little Stone."

Yuan Wenjie peeled a banana, took a bite, and sat down next to Ma Chunsheng.

"Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. Before today, I never thought that the two of us would sit together like this."

"Yes! We used to eat and chat in the same trench, sweat and bleed. We were separated for six years, but now when I think back, everything is still vivid in my mind."

Yuan Wenjie nudged Ma Chunsheng with his elbow, glancing at his mother-in-law and two sisters busy in the kitchen.

"How did you and your little sister meet? I know you, you used to blush whenever you saw a girl. I never thought that after six years, your son would be two years old."

Ma Chunsheng took a bite of banana: "This is a long story. She is my savior. Once, before a battle, I led a few people to scout the enemy. On the way back, we were suddenly attacked by a group of stragglers. I covered the retreat of the other comrades. In the end, I fainted due to exhaustion. When I woke up, I found a girl carrying me on her back. The one carrying me was Su Jinyu."

"It was a coincidence that time. When their medic arrived, the vehicle was blown up by a landmine. Everyone else was injured to varying degrees, but Su Jinyu was unharmed. When she went to find the army for rescue, she happened to see me unconscious by the roadside. Seeing that I was still breathing, she bandaged my wounds and carried me back to the camp."

"If it weren't for her, I probably would have bled to death long ago."

"She saved you, so you offered yourself to her?"

“In my hometown, once a girl has physical contact with a man, she must marry him. She cheated on me, so she has to marry me.”

Yuan Wenjie couldn't help but kick Ma Chunsheng.

"You little rascal, you got the benefit and you're still acting innocent? You didn't actually say that to her, did you?"

"Yes! That's what I said to her, but I said it the other way around. I said, 'You've touched me, I'm no longer innocent. If you don't marry me, I'll be ridiculed, and I'll never be able to find a wife.'"

Yuan Wenjie laughed loudly, and at the same time made a kicking motion towards Ma Chunsheng. This time, Ma Chunsheng was prepared and dodged it.

He pointed at Ma Chunsheng.

"You little rascal, you're really wicked. How old were they back then?"

Ma Chunsheng smiled, his expression innocent and naive, but his eyes held a cunning glint.

“She was seventeen at the time. In our hometown, sixteen is the age to get married, so she wasn’t considered young. It wasn’t unreasonable for me to confess my feelings to her.”

Yuan Wenjie smiled and continued to ask.

Did she say yes?

"Of course she didn't agree at first. I had to beg and plead with her for three years before she finally agreed, and then we got married."
