Reborn in 79, the educated youth wife regretted her divorce.

County Head He took the stage first and read out the commendation decision with great enthusiasm. He highly praised Jiang Yang's article for its important significance to the future development of Jiang'an County and called on all the people of the county to learn from Jiang Yang.

Following that, Chen Zhigang, Director of the Bureau of Culture, and Li Tai, Director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, also took the stage to speak, fully affirming Jiang Yang's contributions.

County Magistrate He's voice, booming like a bell, echoed across the square: "Comrade Jiang Yang's article not only showcases his personal talent but also reflects his love for Jiang'an County and his sense of responsibility to the people! His spirit of selfless dedication is worthy of our emulation!"

The applause of the audience was thunderous.

As the commendation ceremony drew to a close, Jiang Yang was about to step down from the stage when suddenly a commotion arose from the crowd.

Several police officers escorted Su Jingtong, Xu Dan, and Wang Yu onto the stage.

Jiang Yang was stunned.

A policeman announced loudly: "After investigation, the rumors circulating recently about Comrade Jiang Yang and Comrade Li Wen were all fabricated and spread by Su Jingtong, Xu Dan, and Wang Yu!"

There was an uproar in the audience.

The police officer continued, "The three of them used money and candy to incite children to spread rumors in the neighborhood and distribute small notes with defamatory content. We have witnesses and physical evidence to prove it!"

Su Jingtong's face was deathly pale, and her whole body was trembling.

She hadn't expected things to be exposed so quickly.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Yang, I was wrong." Su Jingtong's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible in the noisy square.

Xu Dan and Wang Yu then shifted the blame onto Su Jingtong.

"It was all Su Jingtong's idea! She came up with this despicable scheme to divorce Jiang Yang as soon as possible. We were all fooled by her!" Xu Dan shrieked.

“That’s right, it’s all her fault, we don’t know anything!” Wang Yu echoed.

Su Jingtong stared at Xu Dan and Wang Yu in shock, unable to believe her ears. They were the ones who had encouraged her to do this, and now they were turning around and accusing her.

Jiang Yang watched all of this with a cold eye.

He walked up to Su Jingtong, his tone calm but laced with sarcasm: "Su Jingtong, why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be better to just let things take their natural course?"

He paused, then raised his voice so everyone in the square could hear: "It's not you who wants a divorce now, it's me who wants a divorce! A woman like this doesn't deserve to be my wife!"

Su Jingtong's face flushed red and then turned pale. She bit her lower lip and almost squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth: "What a shrewd move, Jiang Yang! You made me lose face in front of so many people."

Jiang Yang sneered inwardly.

He leaned slightly closer to Su Jingtong and whispered, "What goes around comes around, Su Jingtong. When you slandered me, you should have thought about this outcome. It's all because you're arrogant and have always looked down on me, a 'country bumpkin'."

He emphasized the words "rural man" with a sarcastic tone.

Su Jingtong trembled, her face turning even more pale.

The square was crowded with people, and countless gazes pierced her like needles, making her feel utterly ashamed.

Jiang Yang straightened up, looked around, and said loudly, "Today, I will divorce Su Jingtong here, in front of all the villagers!"

Some people cheered loudly.

Jiang Yang felt a sense of relief; the gloom that had been weighing on his heart for so long finally dissipated.

He pulled a pre-prepared divorce agreement from his pocket and handed it to Su Jingtong: "Sign it."

Su Jingtong's gaze fell on the divorce agreement, and she felt as if the black and white words on the paper were piercing her eyes.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the humiliation and resentment in her heart, and with trembling hands took the pen and signed her name on the agreement.

Jiang Yang took the agreement, checked it carefully, and signed his name after confirming that there were no errors.

He handed one of the documents to the policeman next to him and said, "Could you please be a witness for me, comrade?"

The police officer nodded and solemnly put it away.

Jiang Yang looked at Su Jingtong with no lingering affection in his eyes, only indifference: "From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Su Jingtong didn't speak, but stared intently at Jiang Yang, her eyes filled with complex and unreadable emotions.

Jiang Yang turned away, ignoring her.

The commendation ceremony concluded amidst a chorus of discussion.

Jiang Yang and Su Jingtong went directly to the county's civil affairs bureau and, with the staff as witnesses, officially completed the divorce procedures.

The moment Jiang Yang received the divorce certificate, he felt a great sense of relief.

The notice that Su Jingtong was to return to Yanjing has also been issued.

On the day she left Jiang'an County, Su Jingtong's luggage was very simple, consisting of only a small leather suitcase.

Standing at the bus station, looking at the small county town where she had lived for three years, she was filled with mixed emotions.

People around her were pointing and whispering.

With her head down, she quickly got into the car and fled from the place that had caused her such humiliation.

The matter between Jiang Yang and Su Jingtong has finally come to an end.

Next, he needs to get the clothing store on track.

Emily and her group had already selected a piece of land in Jiangjia Village. After a series of procedures and formalities, they completed the land acquisition and registered it under Jiang Yang's name.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly.

When Jiang Yang returned to Jiangjia Village, he found a crowd gathered under the big locust tree at the village entrance, chattering about something.

He walked closer and listened, only to find that the person everyone was talking about was himself.

"I heard that Jiang Yang is going to open a garment factory in our village."

"Really? Our village is going to be rich!"

"That's right! From now on, we can wear nice clothes just like city people!"

The villagers who had previously argued with Jiang's father and spoken ill of him behind his back all changed their tune and stepped forward to apologize to Jiang Yang.

"Jiang Yang, it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have said those things. Don't take it to heart."

"Jiang Yang, your aunt was just confused for a moment, please don't take it to heart."

Jiang Yang didn't harbor much resentment.

They are not inherently bad; they just suffer from a lack of education.

“We’re all from the same village, so let bygones be bygones. From now on, let’s work together to make Jiangjia Village even better.”

The villagers were moved to tears by Jiang Yang's words.

"Jiang Yang is such a good boy!"

"Yes, with Jiang Yang around, there is hope for our Jiangjia Village!"

Jiang Yang knew that although these people were grateful now, they would still be easily deceived by bad people if they encountered similar situations in the future.

To completely transform Jiangjia Village, we must start by improving the villagers' overall quality of life.

Jiang Yang already had a plan in mind.

He walked to the center of the crowd and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, I plan to open a school in the village. In the future, anyone who wants to work in the factory must be literate and must attend the school's courses."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd exploded.
