Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

The manager's office.

Lin Ying wanted to go to the toilet, but as soon as she got up, Yingzi glared at her.

He didn't say anything; was he preventing her from leaving, or did he want to do something else?

Lin Ying didn't dare to ask, and could only smile awkwardly before sitting back down.

However, a person can really die from holding their urine; Lin Ying felt like her bladder was about to explode.

It's all that savage woman's fault; she's terrifying, making me keep drinking water.

Li Chaoyang remained outside the door and did not come in. Even when two male comrades from the division came over, he stopped them.

I don't know what I said to them, but the two nodded, glanced curiously inside, and then left.

Lin Ying was extremely anxious; if she didn't go to the toilet soon, something terrible was going to happen.

When she stood up, her legs felt sore and her lower abdomen felt bloated.

"Comrade Yingzi, do you need to go to the restroom? Let me take you!" she asked politely.

Yingzi asked, "Where is Jiang Sen?"

Lin Ying nearly fainted. "Can I go to the restroom first?"

"If you can't see him, you're not going anywhere!"

"You...you're being completely unreasonable!"

"Unreasonable?" Yingzi stood up. "This is unreasonable? You haven't seen real unreasonableness! I'm from the mountains, I've never been to school, and I don't understand your grand principles. I'm only sticking to one thing: Jiang Sen wants to marry me, but he's disappeared. I want to find him and ask him face to face whether he's going to marry me or not."

"Look, he's been reported for speculation and profiteering, and for having questionable conduct. He was also accused of having inappropriate relationships with other female educated youths during his time in the countryside. Do you really know him? Maybe he's just lying to you..."

In order to get to the toilet smoothly, Lin Ying went all out and started making up stories about Jiang Sen, saying the most offensive things she could.

Yingzi listened to her finish speaking with a cold laugh, "That's it?"

"Isn't that enough? You're still young, there are plenty of good young men out there. If you're willing, I'll take care of it and introduce you to some..."

"Jiang Sen! Get out here!" Yingzi ran out of the office and shouted again. When she saw Zhang Jianjun holding her gun, she rushed over and snatched it away.

She pulled the safety pin and aimed it at the people who were about to come up.

"Are you trying to force me?" Yingzi squinted at them. "I know you're good people, and Jiang Sen respects you, but that woman said he's a bad guy who sleeps around with other women, that he's lying to me, and that he'll never marry me! I don't care if it's true or not, I want to see Jiang Sen right now and hear him tell me himself! Otherwise, the gun in my hand doesn't have eyes!"

Li Chaoyang's expression changed as he looked at Lin Ying, who was too frightened to move.

"Lin Ying! What exactly did you talk about with Yingzi? Huh? Aren't you tired of this mess? Alright, now, take your people and leave immediately! I'm calling Director Qian right away and telling him this is a mess!"

Li Chaoyang strode into the office, intending to call Director Qian.

Lin Ying's lips trembled, her face deathly pale, "I... I didn't say anything..."

Li Chaoyang glanced at her, and just as he was about to pick up the phone, it rang.

"Hello! This is Li Chaoyang... Yes... Yes, that's right... Okay, I understand, please rest assured, sir!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Chaoyang noticed a puddle of water at Lin Ying's feet, and her pants were wet.

Lin Ying looked up blankly, her eyes slowly reddening, and suddenly burst into tears, covering her face and running away.

Li Chaoyang clicked his tongue, scratched his head, and thought to himself, "This whole thing is a mess..."

Lin Ying ran back to her residence crying all the way. As soon as she closed the door, she collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and burst into loud sobs.

What a shame!

She wet her pants in front of so many men!

How am I supposed to face people after this?!

She got up crying and started rummaging through her clothes...

Seeing that the man had run away, Yingzi stopped pretending, put away her gun, and said, "Manager, can I see Jiang Sen now?"

After finishing the call, Li Chaoyang, with mixed feelings, said, "Sixth Squad Leader, take her there!"

Sui Zhongliang was overjoyed, took the key, and left with Yingzi.

Old Cripple and Zhang Jianjun went over.

Zhang Jianjun asked, "What's going on? A call from above?"

Li Chaoyang said, "It's the phone number of the bodyguard of the old chief in Kyoto."

"What? The old commander? What did he say? Did he ask about us?"

Li Chaoyang shook his head. "He only said one sentence: he knows about Jiang Sen's matter. This child is a good child, and we can't let a good child be disheartened. He also said..."

"Commander, hurry up and tell me! What else did you say?"

Li Chaoyang let out a breath. "They also said that they had spoken to the division headquarters, and the division headquarters' opinion was that since the contents of the whistleblower letter could not be confirmed, they still needed to give an explanation to others and could not leave it unresolved. Therefore, they suggested that Jiang Sen be transferred away from the forest farm."

Zhang Jianjun was dumbfounded. "This, transfer? Where to? I've been here for a year, I can't possibly go back to my hometown, can I?"

The old cripple snorted, "If he's transferred away from the forest farm, then all that's left is the livestock farm. I'll go with him."

Li Chaoyang shook his head. "I'm afraid that won't work!"

Zhang Jianjun couldn't hold back any longer. "We finally found a good prospect, someone who is capable and can make money, and we just handle it like this? It's disheartening for him, and it's disheartening for me too!"

Li Chaoyang patted him on the shoulder, "You're the captain, so stay calm! The higher-ups want me to ask Jiang Sen for his opinion. If he agrees, we can go back to Kyoto."

The difference between "回" (huí) and "返" (fǎn fǎ) is only one word, yet they make a world of difference.

"Return" is equivalent to "return to the city".

Returning would be tantamount to deportation, and might even mean being sent to the far northwest for even harsher re-education.

Sui Zhongliang brought Yingzi to Jiang Sen. After opening the door, Jiang Sen went up to hug Yingzi.

Yingzi pushed him away with a cold face, "Tell me, do you have other women?"

Jiang Sen was stunned. He looked at Sui Zhongliang, who walked away with a helpless expression.

"Who told you this nonsense? You're my only one, in this life and the next! You're the only one!"

"Really?"

"If I'm lying, I'll shoot you!"

Jiang Sen swore an oath, cursing the person who spread the rumors to the core.

Yingzi chuckled. "I knew that woman was no good! I don't even know her, and she just started talking bad about you."

Jiang Sen smiled and took her small hand. "Come in, sit down. Let's talk slowly. Let me tell you, that shout you gave us when you came was so satisfying. After hearing it, I immediately felt confident..."

The door is closed.

On the other side, Li Chaoyang, Zhang Jianjun, and the old cripple had already discussed the matter in general terms and were just waiting to ask Jiang Sen for his opinion.

Jiang Sen and Yingzi didn't come for lunch, so Sui Zhongliang got their food and brought it to them.

Watching them sit on the kang (heated brick bed), talking in a coquettish manner, and then disdainfully putting down their food.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold! After you finish eating, go to the manager's office!"

The moment Sui Zhongliang closed the door, he saw a large number of turtles of all sizes drawn on the manuscript paper on the table.

She then curled her lip in disdain, "It's really ugly!"

Lin Ying didn't come over for dinner, and her subordinates couldn't even get her to knock on the door when they brought food, so they had no choice but to go find Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang had no choice; after all, it was quite embarrassing for a female comrade to wet her pants on the spot.

So he said in a low voice, "You're doing this..."

After dinner, the group sat in the office waiting for Jiang Sen and Yingzi.

After a while, the two arrived.

As soon as Jiang Sen came in, he said, "I saw the division leaders get into their car and leave. They seemed to want to avoid people. They covered their faces with a towel and ran past."

Yingzi said, "Of course I'm too ashamed to face anyone!"

"What did you do to her?" Jiang Sen was afraid that Yingzi had hit her.

"What do you mean I did something to her? I haven't wet my pants since I can remember. Who's like her?"
