Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Knowing that the He family would be in chaos that night, and that He Yong'an might not have time to come out.

That evening, Feng Qingqing chatted briefly with Hu Fangming before going to bed early. After getting into bed, she first used her consciousness to check on the space. The vegetable seeds she had planted earlier were not yet ready for harvest, but she had already harvested more than a hundred eggs. Because the space had a preservation function, she wasn't worried about them spoiling inside, so she collected them all and stored them away.

The next morning, before dawn, everyone at the educated youth settlement was still asleep and quiet. Feng Qingqing, however, got up early because she had something on her mind.

She and Hu Fangming agreed last night that they wouldn't make breakfast today; they would each have some simple snacks to tide them over, and then come back to cook a proper meal at noon.

Feng Qingqing walked quietly towards the He family's house, her feet glistening with dew. Yes, she got up so early to see if she could run into He Yong'an and to ask about his situation. Although she knew he didn't trust the family as much as he seemed, she was still afraid that he might unknowingly wrong himself if something happened.

The He family lived not far from the village entrance, and there were a few neighbors around, but none of them were very close. Feng Qingqing found a big tree far away, stopped, and looked towards the He family's house from a distance.

It was just before dawn, and many households were beginning to stir with the sounds of people getting up. Feng Qingqing felt a little anxious, but she was still unwilling to go back just like that.

But only two or three minutes later, a person suddenly came out of Old He's yard. The person was carrying a carrying pole with two buckets underneath, and it was obvious that he was carrying water for the whole family.

Feng Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable. For so many years, every day like this, she must have suffered so much injustice.

But now was not the time to think about these things. She looked to her left and right, then waved to him from afar. Perhaps sensing her gaze, He Yong'an suddenly looked over. He was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After confirming, he was about to walk over quickly, but then suddenly remembered something, waved to her, and pointed towards the back mountain where they often went.

Feng Qingqing understood the situation; this was indeed not the place to talk, and it would be dawn soon. She nodded and turned to leave.

Feng Qingqing waited for about five minutes on their usual route up the mountain before hearing familiar footsteps in the distance. Sure enough, the man arrived in no time.

Seeing Feng Qingqing's somewhat anxious expression, he quickly walked over and said urgently:

"Why did you come so early? Aren't you afraid of getting cold? I'm short on time, so I'll keep it short. I'm fine, it's just that Yongming has suffered a lot. They sent me to the city to find out some information, but I'm just going to go out and make up a name for myself today and come back quickly. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Feng Qingqing knew this wasn't the time for casual conversation, so she briefly explained:

"I've made progress on what we discussed before. This pill will make you look pale and weak, and unable to do heavy work. But after taking the antidote, it won't have any effect on your body. If there are no problems, take it now."

She knew that with this incident in his family, his parents were probably going to give him a hard time. It just so happened that they were also planning to do something, so it was fate that they ended up together like this.

Upon hearing this, He Yong'an was also pleasantly surprised. After all, although he had his own ways to solve the problem, none of them were as effective as this one-time solution.

He took the pills Feng Qingqing handed him and swallowed them in one gulp without saying a word. He even smacked his lips as if to say that they had no taste.

This scene amused Feng Qingqing. Seeing that he had taken the pills, she said she would talk about the rest later when she had time. Before leaving, she handed him two large meat buns, said goodbye in a hurry, and went home.

After watching him leave, Feng Qingqing realized it was still a bit early to go to work, so she found a secluded spot on the hillside and took out some food from her spatial storage to eat slowly. She first ate a meat bun, then two pieces of sesame candy and a piece of sponge cake, and then drank some water from her spatial storage.

I wandered around the neighborhood for a bit, and when it was almost time, I headed towards the brigade headquarters.

Before even reaching the brigade headquarters, I could hear groups of people on their way to work discussing something:

"The eldest son of the He family went out to fetch water this morning, and I heard that he suddenly fainted on the way back."

"Really? How could such a young man suddenly faint like that?"

"Who says otherwise? I heard that everyone who saw it said that his face was deathly pale, it was terrifying."

"That eldest son of the He family, he's only alive this long thanks to the blessings of his ancestors. Those old He couple are really inhumane. What a fine young man! He's all grown up, and they haven't even found him a wife. They just stay at home, not eating or drinking well. How can he be healthy?"

The person who said this was an old lady who lived not far from the He family. She had watched He Yong'an grow up since he was a child and couldn't stand how the He couple treated the honest and hardworking He Yong'an.

"What's wrong with the He family? Their youngest son had an accident yesterday, and today their eldest son just fainted for no apparent reason. I heard that after they carried him back, they just left him on the ground without anyone saying anything about sending him to the commune. What a tragedy for this family."

As he spoke, he began to sympathize with He Yong'an, which shows that his plight in the He family was known and pitied by many, but since it wasn't their own business, they couldn't interfere and could only curse him behind his back.

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, mostly expressing sympathy and concern for He Yong'an, but remaining tight-lipped about the youngest brother, He Yongming. After all, they didn't know much about the matter, especially since it involved Red Guards, and they didn't want to risk getting into trouble.

Hearing everyone's comments, Feng Qingqing knew that the weakness pills she had given him that morning had worked, and the effect was truly fast and effective, quite remarkable.

Throughout the morning at work, everyone was openly or secretly discussing the He family's situation. However, no one from the He family, the main focus of today's work, came to work. After all, such a big thing had happened at home, especially since the eldest son, who was supposed to be put to good use this morning, was still unconscious. The house was in complete chaos, and no one had the mind to work.

Meanwhile, the brigade headquarters was also deeply worried about this matter. They weren't concerned about He Yongming's condition; even if he had only broken a leg or was lame, it wouldn't matter to them. What worried them now was what exactly happened and whether it would implicate their brigade. After all, he was a member of their Lanshan Brigade, and if he had committed a crime or had a negative impact, it would be a significant disadvantage for the brigade's future performance evaluations and awards.

Originally, with this incident happening in the He family, the eldest son, He Yong'an, was a capable leader and should have taken responsibility no matter what. But unexpectedly, he fainted this morning for no apparent reason. However, as the leaders of this brigade, they were well aware of the situation of each family, if not completely ignorant, and they also knew about the treatment of the eldest son, He Yong'an, within the He family. But since it was a family matter, it was difficult to manage if it wasn't brought to the forefront.

But now, the only person in charge has conveniently fainted at this time, which is really strange. The brigade cadres are all very depressed.

After discussing it for a long time, the brigade headquarters decided to send someone to find out what was going on. All expenses would be reimbursed by the brigade headquarters. Of course, they didn't plan to tell the He family about this, since they had caused them so much trouble. They only refrained from contacting them because they were from the same brigade.

At the same time, they were all thinking about this: the only one in the He family who could carry on the family line had been neglected by them since childhood. Now that the eldest son of the He family was in such a state, if he could not recover, the He family would have a lot of suffering in the future.
