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

Everyone drank at Su Jinru's house until very late before heading home.

Su Jinru escorted Jin Gui and his family to the door.

Su Jinru said to Jin Gui, "Brother Jin Gui, I owe you a thank you!"

Jin Gui immediately understood what Su Jinru meant.

“Aru, we’re like family. Family doesn’t stand on ceremony. If anyone should say thank you, it should be me. It’s because that grain saved so many people. And the price was so low that it was impossible to buy at the time. No one could say that I took a cut by buying grain for the collective. So, in the end, good triumphed over evil, which is why I was able to survive.”

Su Jinru: "With your words, I feel relieved. At least I didn't misjudge you; you are a trustworthy person."

“Aru, Yuan Wenjie is a good man. It’s right for you and the child to go with him and leave this place of trouble.”

Su Jinru: "I don't know when I'll be able to come back. You all need to take good care of yourselves."

"I believe things won't stay this chaotic forever. Things will get better in the future. Once things are calm again, you can come back to see your family anytime."

"You're right, things will get better, but until then, you still need to be careful."

"Don't worry! Daben Township is my revolutionary base. With their support, I'll be fine."

“My younger sister, my younger brother, and I have all passed away, leaving behind only two elderly people. If there is anything we can do, we hope you can help us.”

Dingxiang: "Don't worry! We'll lend a hand if they need anything."

……

The next morning, Su Jinyu came early to perform surgery on Old Lin.

The older sister assisted her, and both of them washed and disinfected their hands. Su Jinyu even put on gloves.

Su Jinyu administered local anesthesia to Old Lin, so he felt no pain throughout the entire process.

In fact, this was not the first time Su Jinyu had performed this kind of surgery, so she was very skilled at it and finished it in an hour. The surgery was considered a success.

Then came the rest period, medication to prevent inflammation, and a dressing change five days later.

The Su sisters washed their hands in the yard.

Just then, a commotion was heard coming from the village.

Someone ran over from the village road: "Something's wrong! Someone's been cheated on!"

Su Jinyu: "Who's so foolish as to pull this stunt so early in the morning?"

Liu Yulan came in from outside.

"What a tragedy! That Du Mei was hanging on the peach tree in front of the public housing first thing in the morning."

Su Jinyu: "How is he? Is he still breathing?"

"He's not dead. Luckily, Sanbao passed by there early this morning and rescued him. Someone ran to call Qi Zhengyang."

Liu Yulan: "I don't know if she really wanted to die or if she was just trying to scare people. In the morning, there were many people carrying water on that road. If she really wanted to die, she wouldn't have chosen to do it there."

Su Jinyu: "Mom, you can't say things like that."

"I'm just saying this in our own home. Don't come and join in the fun, or people will say we're gloating."

Su Jinru: "Who wants to join in this kind of fun?"

Liu Yulan continued her nagging: "That's why people shouldn't do anything that goes against their conscience. They were shameless back then, doing such things that have left our Aru all alone all these years..."

Su Jinyu tugged at her mother's arm.

"Mom, that happened so many years ago, don't bring it up again. Isn't this brother-in-law a thousand times better than that Qi Zhengyang?"

Liu Yulan whispered, "Yes, yes, let's not talk about those unlucky people anymore. It's fortunate that your eldest sister decisively left that scoundrel Qi Zhengyang back then, so she could meet such a good person as your brother-in-law."

Su Jinyu: "Mom, stop scolding Qi Zhengyang in front of the two children. After all, he is their biological father. Whether he is good or bad has nothing to do with us."

"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."

……

Qi Zhengyang was woken up from his sleep and told that Du Mei had committed suicide by taking a piss.

Qi Zhengyang jumped up with a start.

Although Du Mei has now become his henpecked husband, the thought that his life would be even more difficult and arduous without her is still unbearable.

As people have been saying, no woman would dare marry someone like him who would report his own wife and beat her into a pulp.

Therefore, apart from Du Mei, he probably couldn't find another woman who could do his laundry and cook for him.

Moreover, in a sense, he and Du Mei were both ridiculed and attacked, and were equally unsuccessful.

When the two of them are together, they are at least of the same kind. They can coexist and are like parasitic plants that can draw nutrients from each other. If one of them is lost, the other will wither away without anything to rely on.

This is something Qi Zhengyang only figured out in the last few days.

Qi Zhengyang stumbled and opened the door.

"Du Mei...is she...dead?"

"When I arrived, he didn't seem to be dead. You should go and check on him!"

When Qi Zhengyang rushed over with the others, he saw a group of people surrounding Du Mei.

Du Mei sat on the ground, crying, "Why did you save me? Wouldn't it have been better to let me die? What's the point of me living like this?"

Someone advised, "You have two children! You shouldn't do this for their sake."

“The children aren’t just mine. Qi Zhengyang doesn’t care about either of them. If he cared about the children, why would he treat me like this?”

Upon seeing Qi Zhengyang, Du Mei became even more agitated. She shouted, "I don't want to live anymore! I can't go on living!" and then scrambled to her feet and tried to crash into a nearby tree, but Sanbao caught her in time.

Sanbao grabbed Du Mei out of instinct, but after he realized what was happening, he quickly let go of her as if his hand had been burned.

So Du Mei continued to crash forward, and she slammed her head into a tree, her body tilted to the side, and she passed out.

"Oh no! She's fainted."

"You're not going to die!"

"should not."

Someone went to check Du Mei's nose.

"He's still breathing; he's probably just passed out."

"Go quickly and call the doctor!"

"Go and call Su Jinyu. Her home is close by. She's a military doctor. She even treated that old man at the village entrance last night!"

Someone tugged at the person who was speaking.

"Do you even understand the connection between these ideas? You're just giving me random advice."

"Du Mei just fainted, she's fine. She'll wake up after a rest. Let's take her home!"

"Yes! I saw it just now. The impact wasn't too serious, and he was able to wake up on his own."

"Qi Zhengyang, come quickly and carry your wife home."

Everyone hurriedly helped Du Mei onto Qi Zhengyang's back, and he carried her back.

In reality, Du Mei didn't faint at all; she was just trying to save face.

Otherwise, how would she go home, and how would she end this farce she directed and acted in front of everyone?
