You will only have the opportunity to return to the city if your family finds you a job in the city.

Oh, look, I was careless again and said the wrong thing. Your family has cut off ties with you, and even your surrogate Liu Zhiqing doesn't care about you anymore. You are now all alone.

You, there's no chance of returning to the city. Maybe you'll have to stay in Songshan Brigade for the rest of your life, carrying manure for the rest of your life. No woman will ever be interested in you, and you'll be extinct.

Wang Jianshe started to think from Li Meili's words. He also felt that through voting, he could not get a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, nor could he become a team leader of the Educated Youth Institute.

He couldn't find anyone to help him, he had no money, he couldn't cheat women, and if a man touched him, he would smell bad, so no man would pay attention to him.

Li Meili saw that Wang Jianshe was convinced by her, and when the educated youth came back, she began to invite them to dinner.

"Everyone, come and eat. I changed the flavor of the food today. Everyone, try it. It might be delicious."

After taking a bite, the educated youths all started praising Li Meili. Li Meili was so delighted by the praise that she even looked at Wang Jianshe provocatively.

But Wang Jianshe did not react. He just ate his meal in a daze, while thinking about how to return to the city.

He had to go back to the city and live in a different place. He also wanted to see a doctor and get his illness cured. He didn't want to be alone and without any descendants.

Wang Jianshe was taking a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the kang. Looking at the happy Liu Jianguo, he felt even sadder.

When he went to work, he was thinking while picking up manure, and almost knocked over the manure bucket several times, and some of it got on his pants and shoes.

He cursed and went to the pond to wash his pants and shoes, but when he arrived at the quiet pond and looked at the tall cliff, he became careful.

Without washing his pants and shoes, he hurried back to wait for Liu Jianguo on the way back to the educated youth institute.

Liu Jianguo finished his work quickly and returned to the educated youth institute early to pack his luggage.

Wang Jianshe waited for a while, and when he saw Liu Jianguo coming back, he quickly overturned the dung bucket and pretended that his leg was sprained.

Liu Jianguo had indeed been fooled and hurried over to ask, "Wang Zhiqing, what's wrong? Your legs are crooked, but how did you fill your bag again? Didn't the team leader say you could pick less at a time and run more often?"

"Team leader, it's time to get off work. I can't seem to earn 10 work points today. I want to get 10 work points so I can get more food and pay off the food I owe to the brigade sooner. It seems I've overestimated my abilities.

"Team leader, I can't carry any manure today. Can you put the manure bucket away for me? I still have to carry manure tomorrow."

Liu Jianguo helped Wang Jianshe put the feces bucket in the toilet, then came over to support Wang Jianshe.

"Captain, I'm fine, my foot isn't sprained, but I have to go take a bath in the pool.

Can you go with me? Lately, I've noticed a few older men staring at me. The aunties in the village say they like men, especially good-looking ones like me. I'm scared. I haven't finished work yet, and there's no one else to go with, so I have to trouble you.

Liu Jianguo looked at the pitiful Wang Jianshe and agreed. He also comforted Wang Jianshe: "Wang Zhiqing, don't be afraid. No one in our brigade dares to do anything reckless. The brigade leader can control everyone. If you have any problems, just go to the brigade leader."

"Captain, you are so kind. You have always been kind. Unlike me, I used to be very mean. I only wanted to take advantage of others and live off them."

"Wang Zhiqing, admitting your mistakes and correcting them is a great virtue. You've corrected them now and are still an outstanding young man. Now we're at the pool. Go wash. I'll watch over you. I won't be watching you. Be careful. The pool is deep, so don't go too far in. Just wash near the edge."

Wang Jianshe walked to the edge of the pool, took off his shoes, and deliberately let the water wash away his shoes. Then he began to shout: "Captain, help me, my shoes have been washed away, and I only have one pair of shoes.

If my shoes are washed away, I will have nothing to wear and no money to buy shoes. Woohoo, I am so unlucky today, woohoo..."

When Liu Jianguo saw the shoes being washed away by the water, he hurried to stop them and finally stopped them at the edge of the cliff. Liu Jianguo happily handed the shoes to Wang Jianshe.

Wang Jianshe took the shoes and quickly pushed Liu Jianguo off the cliff while he was not paying attention.

But they were seen by a child on the roadside. Seeing the child trying to run away, Wang Jianshe hurried over to stop them and began to threaten them.

"Little brats, you saw it right, I killed someone, and if any of you dare to make a mistake, I will kill you too.

No, children can be sold for money. If you dare to tell anyone, I will sell you to human traffickers, leaving you without food and away from your parents.

Do you hear me? Don’t tell anyone about this. If you don’t want to die, shut up.”

Seeing that the children nodded, Wang Jianshe left contentedly, but after walking a short distance, he turned back and continued his threats.

"If you dare tell anyone, I will break your legs and sell you to cannibalistic human traffickers."

The children were so frightened that they trembled and said bluntly: "We won't tell you, and we dare not tell you. Please don't beat us or sell us out."

Wang Zhiqing said, "Little brat."

He returned to the pond to take a bath. He finished quickly and returned to the educated youth institute after seeing the children running away.
