Su Qiao thought that was the end of it.

Unexpectedly, there was more to come.

On this day, new people came to the village.

But they were not educated youth sent to the countryside.

They are bad elements sent here for reformation.

This was the first time that bad elements had come to the Qingshui Brigade.

The villagers were very curious.

What do these people actually look like?

Upon seeing that they were three elderly men with gray hair, he immediately lost interest.

What good is an old man? He can't even do any work.

Even the slightest carelessness can leave you exhausted.

What's the use of sending these bad elements here? We might end up having to rely on them to support us.

What they didn't know was...

When Lu Fugui went to pick up the people, they were told to make them suffer.

The place to live doesn't need to be too nice.

He did not refute, because he knew he was not qualified.

So much has happened in the brigade lately that even the old Party Secretary was called in and scolded until he was completely bewildered.

Forget about being recognized as an advanced individual this year.

At this point, he couldn't afford to argue with the people from the commune.

I had no choice but to agree.

Lu Fugui originally intended to just arrange for the person to be placed in the old cowshed.

No cows have lived there for a long time, so the smell shouldn't be too strong. With a little cleaning, it should be habitable.

But when they arrived at the destination, they were dumbfounded.

I haven't paid attention to this area for too long; the collapsed half of this old cowshed hasn't been repaired yet.

The pebbles on the ground haven't been cleared yet.

Lu Fugui slapped his forehead; he had forgotten about so many things.

The team originally had two cows, but a landslide destroyed half of the cowshed.

The ox was tied to the trough at that time.

He was killed when one of the collapsed roof beams fell on him.

Later, a new cowshed was built elsewhere, and this cowshed was abandoned and no longer used.

But the words had already been spoken.

None of the three people raised any objections.

There were also a few nosy villagers who originally wanted to come and bully people.

I never expected my accommodation to be so run-down.

He immediately burst into laughter, doubled over with mirth.

They completely forgot why they came here in the first place.

Lu Fugui looked at the group of people who seemed to enjoy making things worse.

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, you'll stay and work on the cowshed!"

Those few, known for their laziness, ran off as soon as they heard that.

Lu Fugui didn't know what expression he should use to treat this group of people.

These people are all capable.

Each one of them is a big shot who was never seen before.

One of them was a professor who specialized in food cultivation.

If I could get a few pointers, I might not have to worry about paying my grain taxes anymore.

There will be more food left over.

But he knew now was not the time.

Lu Fugui said a few words casually and then left.

He left his eldest son, Lu Weidong, to help.

Those three had endured so much cold treatment; how could they dare ask him for help?

Two of them went into the cowshed and took a look, asking how it needed to be repaired.

Suddenly, the old man standing there slowly spoke: "It's going to collapse."

Upon hearing this, the other two immediately ran out and pulled Lu Weidong out as well.

Lu Weidong was still puzzled.

The next second, the cowshed began to shake, and the remaining half collapsed completely.

Only an overturned feeding trough was left exposed.

The captain, who heard the commotion, rushed back.

Seeing that none of them were injured, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They no longer cared about making things difficult for each other as they had mentioned before.

Quickly get someone to stay in the grove, in the hunter's house.

The three moved to a different location. Lu Weidong didn't offer much help, only instructing them on how to solve basic living problems.

He then turned and left.

The three of them then relaxed.

I started carefully tidying up the house.

A moment later, footsteps approached.

As soon as Rong Shen opened the hunter's door, he saw familiar faces inside.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Li."

The three nodded.

Rong Shen was no longer as timid as before.

He lunged at Rongde.

Rongde caught his eldest grandson steadily, patted his head, and asked affectionately, "How has Xiaoshen been lately?"

Rong Shen told him everything in detail.

He became even more excited when talking about how Su Qiao saved him.

He completely forgot that Lu Xiangze was also his savior.

Rongde was somewhat curious about the woman his grandson described as having only virtues.

Zhao Gou and Li Xiangqian glanced at it and both felt their teeth ache terribly.

"You old hag, you know perfectly well that neither of us can see our grandson right now. Are you just trying to tempt us with your words?"

Rongde raised an eyebrow smugly.

"What are you jealous of? If you're so capable, why don't you change your grandson's name too?"

Everyone laughed.

After laughing enough, Zhao Gou asked Rong Shen to turn around so he could take another look at him.

Rong Shen did as he was told.

Looking at Rong Shen's completely changed appearance, Zhao Gou nodded.

"You're really lucky, kid. You actually met your benefactor. As long as you do more good deeds in the future, your life will definitely be smooth sailing."

Rongde was immediately relieved to hear this.

Although Zhao Gou was a Taoist priest who came to the profession later in life, he was quite talented.

I can also do some calculations for these old friends from time to time.

The calculation was extremely accurate.

Ever since Rongde learned that his family line would end and that none of his family members would die a good death,

They then started looking for solutions from Zhao Gou.

Rong Shen had a bumpy life since childhood.

It wasn't until Rongde changed his name to "Rongshen" that things improved somewhat.

Anyway, the pronunciation is the same.

Even if others read it, they won't understand.

Given the current unfavorable situation, Rongde made arrangements for his grandson well in advance.

The original plan was for Rong Shen to stay at his aunt's house.

Unexpectedly, this was met with strong opposition from Rong Shen.

That's why he was assigned to go to the countryside a few days earlier.

They arrived at Qingshui Brigade in two groups.

This way, we can keep our secret from others.

After all, the situation is not good right now, and those who are trying to trip us up are still lurking in the shadows.

They cleverly turned the tables and were "driven" to the countryside.

In reality, everything was as I expected.

Zhao Gou even calculated for Rong Shen that if he could get help from a noble person, he would definitely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune.

Once you get through this hurdle, everything will go smoothly for you, and you'll live a long and healthy life.

Moreover, they won't stay in the village forever.

Zhao Gou had calculated that dawn would surely come; all they could do was wait…

Grandpa has arrived at Qingshui Brigade.

Rong Shen immediately switched to "ant-like" mode, bringing food with him every time he went out.

Wang Zhihua watched as Rong Shen's valuable possessions dwindled day by day.

I'm a little unhappy.

If he keeps taking this every day, how much will be left in the room?

When did Rong Shen's appetite become so big?

And he even locked it!

How will he ever be able to enjoy a good meal again?

He usually waits until everyone else has left before he goes out.

The purpose is to be able to occasionally dabble in some of Rong Shen's stuff to satisfy my cravings.

This kid has absolutely no idea about these things.

He took it every day without being discovered.

Wang Zhihua has become much bolder.

Now, he completely considers Rong Shen's snacks as his own.

He gets unhappy even if he shares a little bit of his wealth.

If others have more, then he has less, doesn't he?

Could it be that Rong Shen is dating someone?

Won't it be hard to get this in the future?

No, he's losing out!

Wang Zhihua began to plan when to find an opportunity to give some to Dong Yiyi.

It's a way of keeping the benefits within the family.
