Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Professor Wang dedicated his life to research and had a wonderful relationship with his wife, but he neglected his son's education.

After the incident, Professor Wang's son and students, fearing they would be implicated, voluntarily wrote a letter of complaint.

They also published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with Professor Wang.

Originally, he and his wife would have been sent to the more difficult conditions in the northwestern desert.

After learning about his situation, Fei Huainan used his connections to get them transferred to this village.

He also kept asking people to take care of them.

Despite their hardships, Fei Huainan would occasionally send them things through intermediaries.

Only then can you say you've made it through.

But what he didn't expect was that his prized student would be injured and discharged from the army, carried back by others, and become a cripple.

Professor Wang was upset, but Fei Huainan continued to send things over as always.

Last time his wife had a fever, the villagers didn't care about them. It was only when Fei Huainan brought over fever-reducing medicine that his wife survived.

Professor Wang's eyes welled up with tears.

In truth, he provided the least help to Fei Huainan, yet this child was the most grateful.

Grandma Wang knew it was Fei Huainan as soon as she heard the voice, and a smile appeared on her face.

"I'm only able to recover this time thanks to Huainan. Don't scold the child every time you see him."

Grandma Wang speaks gently, but she has a strong personality. She cannot tolerate any wrongdoing. Ever since her own son reported her, no matter how much suffering or hardship she endured, even if it meant death, she never uttered a single soft word to her son.

She is always serious with outsiders, but always gentle with her own children.

Grandma Wang talked about her husband, and then about Fei Huainan.

“The Revolutionary Committee people have been coming here frequently these past few days. I know you’re worried about me, but you should be more careful about your own safety.”

"I'll let it go today, but you're not allowed to deliver tomorrow."

Fei Huainan agreed, but his mind was on the Revolutionary Committee.

Why would the Revolutionary Committee suddenly notice the cowshed?

Fei Huainan didn't stay long. He watched as his master and mistress drank the chicken soup, ate the chicken, and finally left because they couldn't eat any more egg pancakes.

Inside the cowshed, Grandma Wang sighed, "Huainan is such a good boy, how did he get hurt? Do you think it's because of our troubles that he got into this mess?"

Professor Wang also had this suspicion, but knowing his boss was a thoughtful person, he immediately offered words of comfort.

“I asked Huainan, and he said no, don’t worry so much, take good care of your health. Only if we go back alive can we support our children.”

Grandma Wang's eyes were firm: "You're right, no one can bully our children."

Despite the current hardships, they believe in their country, in the light, and in the peaceful and prosperous world they have been hoping for.

Professor Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wife was in much better condition.

The elderly couple had spent most of their lives together; if his wife couldn't make it through, he would follow her.

Fortunately, my wife is alright.

Fei Huainan's arrival was naturally not kept secret from the people in the cowshed. Professor Wang took the egg pancakes out, and when he came back, the egg pancakes were gone.

Xu Manman was a little scared being home alone.

A fence can only keep out honest people, but it can't keep out scoundrels.

Even though Fei Huainan's leg was injured, Xu Manman felt a little more at ease knowing he was at home.

With Fei Huainan not home, Xu Manman felt uneasy and dared not go to sleep.

She waited until Fei Huainan returned before she could finally fall asleep.

For the next few days, Xu Manman stayed at home trying to find ways to help Fei Huainan recover.

After finishing the chicken from last time, she went to town to buy some pork bones to stew, and also bought some rice, millet, and wheat flour.

Seeing that they had dried noodles, I bought two pounds of them.

Every night, Fei Huainan would set aside a bowl of nourishing soup and send it to the cowshed.

Xu Manman only does her work and never asks questions.

Fei Huainan actually thought this kind of life was pretty good, and that Xu Manman was suitable for living together.

He cooks well, talks little, and doesn't cause trouble.

Of course, Fei Huainan didn't care what Xu Manman did.

After spending some time together, the relationship between the two improved considerably.

At least when he spoke, Fei Huainan no longer spoke sarcastically or mocked her.

Even the jade pendant is no longer mentioned.

On the fifth day, Xu Manman went to the county town again. She met with the old gentleman and told him about Fei Huainan's situation.

The old gentleman gave Fei Huainan a prescription this time, and Fei Huainan should take it for two more days.

Xu Manman was able to send the person over.

The two of them set the date for the evening after tomorrow, but the old man had to go to work during the day, so it wouldn't be convenient.

It was during this encounter that Xu Manman learned that the young man beside the old man was named Zhou Lei, and that he was an informant for the two thugs.

He was sent by two thugs to torment the old man.

Zhou Lei was indeed unkind to the old man at first.

He dared not offend the thugs and could only do as they told him to do.

Even though he treated the old man so well, when he had an asthma attack, the old man still saved him.

Zhou Lei was deeply moved by the old man's kindness.

From then on, his scolding of the old man was just an act for the two thugs.

With the two thugs gone, he did all the work; the old man didn't have to lift a finger.

Xu Manman also deeply admired the old man's medical ethics.

He was truly the kind of senior who dedicated himself to healing and saving lives without seeking anything in return.

Xu Manman prescribed another dose of tonic, which cost her over six yuan this time.

However, she didn't feel bad at all, since Fei Huainan would give her money back after she spent it all.

She remembered that Fei Huainan said he liked chicken soup, so she went out of her way to buy a hen and planned to make chicken soup again.

Xinghua Village.

Li Meng's second brother, Li Bin, led four or five people from the Revolutionary Committee into the village.

Everyone avoided them. Ever since Li Bin joined the Revolutionary Committee, the Li family had been acting like they owned the place.

They were just giving the village chief some face; everyone else had been bullied by the Li family before.

Li Bin was like a mad dog; whoever offended his family, he would deliberately retaliate, causing widespread fear and anxiety.

Li Meng was overjoyed to see her second brother arrive; she would soon receive the jade pendant, very soon!!!

Looking at the fearful eyes of the crowd, Li Bin felt smug and led his men straight towards the Fei family's residence.

The Fei family walked at the foot of the mountain, where there were only a few houses.

Although everyone was afraid of Li Bin, they were even more curious, and many simply followed behind him.

……

Fei Huainan continued to do what he could at home as usual.

Li Meng's second brother led a group of people to kick open the wooden door and hold up the letter of complaint.

“Fei Huainan, someone reported you for going to the black market and having connections with the cowshed. They also said you have some shady stuff hidden in your house.”

“Our Revolutionary Committee received a report and, in accordance with regulations, interrogated and searched you.”

Fei Huainan's expression changed, especially after seeing the words on the envelope; his pupils contracted.

Those are Xu Manman's handwriting...

Xu Manman betrayed him?
