Shen Junjie has completely taken down Shen Peng's forces, and a major reshuffle has been carried out in various units, from government leaders and factory leaders to many people who had previously been helped by the Shen family.

They were all brought to justice one by one. Seeing Shen Peng arrested, everyone involved with him regretted the deeds they had committed over the years.

But it was too late; there was no remedy for their mistakes, and they could only accept the punishment of the law.

Those who should be demoted should be demoted; there's no turning back now that it's too late.

Even though no one from the Shen family is here now, the things they did in the past are still remembered by people.

There were many in Shenjia Village this time, thanks to this opportunity, their individual performances, Shen Junjie's help in connecting them, and their abilities.

They have achieved good results in various assessments, whether in government agencies or factories.

They all got in with excellent grades, making the surrounding villages only envious.

The fact that their children lacked education was a major drawback, and from then on, Shenjia Village became extremely strict about the requirements for women marrying into the village and those marrying out.

Absolutely no family members who favor sons over daughters, illiterate, or whose parents are irresponsible.

Despite these conditions, many people still come to marry into the family. Some even bring gifts, wanting to marry into Shenjia Village.

The villagers are very united. Families who have ulterior motives when giving gifts are immediately blacklisted by the village.

Those who harbored such ulterior motives now deeply regret their actions; they were just trying to take shortcuts, and now they've been proven wrong.

Shenjia Village has now become a highly sought-after village in the surrounding area, and both members of the Shen clan and outsiders have benefited from the Shen family.

They paid even more attention to the Shen family's ancestral graves, cleaning them twice a month and having villagers come to visit every day.

No one coveted the Shen family's ancestral graves anymore. Those who had been there before were carried away. Even those with wicked intentions gave up on that idea.

Even Song Chengzhi, who worked in the grain department, changed jobs due to this major reshuffle.

Finally, after leaving the grain depot where he had spent nearly twenty years, he went to work in a government agency to help the newly formed leadership team integrate the city's affairs.

Song Chengzhi had his own ideas before, but for the sake of his daughter and family's stability, he stayed at the grain depot.

Shen Junjie is now talking to him privately, and things will get better and better in the future. It's time to move things around.

After careful consideration, Song Chengzhi chose to join the leadership team and learn how to become part of it.

Song Chengzhi never imagined that someone nearing 40 years old would one day still have his own dreams and be able to put his talents to good use.

For the first twenty years, the family was able to live a peaceful life under the protection of his father, and now he can protect the whole family as well.

Song Chengzhi dropped his pretense and, being a local, worked with great ease in the newly arrived leadership team.

Song Yining was completely unaware of her father's other side. She had been learning medicine, which she disliked, since childhood, and after marriage, she was unable to do what she loved for various reasons.

People only start to gain momentum in middle age, and then they unleash their full potential to carve out their own niche.

Grandpa Song even talked with his son for several hours about this matter, and his advice to him was: "Never forget your original intention, and you will achieve your goal."

The officialdom can cloud one's judgment; sometimes, for the sake of even the slightest gain, one can lose oneself. Hold fast to your principles and never stray onto the wrong path.

Only by being a good servant of the people can you live up to the trust the country has placed in you.

Song Chengzhi could fully understand his father's thoughts. He had been lying low for the past twenty years because he was afraid of losing his mind in the officialdom.

Song Yining was at work today and somehow her vision went black and she almost tripped.

It was Zhang Datao who noticed her unusual condition and urged her to rest, so Song Yining took sick leave and went back to rest.

Lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Song Yining fell asleep without realizing it, and had already entered the space.

They discovered that the previously foggy area had turned into a vast forest, stretching as far as the eye could see.

A small stream remains on the mountain, flowing into the pond that Song Yining dug to raise fish.

Today, Song Yining's consciousness was very weak, and she only then remembered that there was a spring in the space.

Although the amount of water flowing out could not be seen, it kept flowing out. Song Yining observed it for a long time, but the water remained unchanged, circulating endlessly.

Looking at the spring water in the space, Song Yining still curiously took a small sip to see if it was the legendary spiritual spring.

I just felt unwell today. I even experienced a momentary blackout just now. After falling asleep, I realized that I had entered a space.

As if guided by something, Song Yining came to this spring. After drinking some spring water, less than ten minutes later, something strange happened in her body again.

Her stomach was hurting terribly, so she pulled up the curtains in the room so that no one from the outside could see that she wasn't there. She closed the door and entered the space.

After taking a long, satisfying bowel movement in the toilet inside the space, Song Yining produced a completely black mess that smelled so bad that she felt like taking off on the spot.

Fortunately, it was inside the space; if it were in the Yang family's outhouse, everyone would have suffered today.

After finishing her business, Song Yining felt light and comfortable all over, though her body still felt sticky.

I took a relaxing bath in the space and found that my body had become much whiter and my skin had become much firmer.

Since coming to the countryside, Song Yining has always disguised herself and has never shown her true face to the public.

Looking at her flawless skin, Song Yining felt that the spring water was magical; it really was just like in the novels.

The dizziness I felt earlier is gone, and I feel great. I even ran a few laps in the parking lot without any problems.

Only then did Song Yining feel relieved. She then went to look around the space again, but there were still some places shrouded in mist.

That means it's certain that under certain circumstances, it might unlock unexpected things.

Before leaving the space, Song Yining was completely relaxed and acted as if nothing had happened, which puzzled Grandma Yang.

“Ningning, you didn’t seem to be in a good state just now, but in just a short while, you’re acting like nothing’s wrong.”

Song Yining didn't know what was going on either, so she explained, "Grandma probably had a hypoglycemic episode. She lay down for a while and ate a few candies, and she felt much better."

"Oh, that's good then. Young people should be more careful."

"Okay, Grandma, I understand. It's all right now. I'll keep more candy in my pocket from now on, so I won't be afraid."

After saying that, he gave each of the children a piece of candy, and they happily sat in a row eating the sweet candy.

The house is almost finished being built these days, so I'll go inside and clean it up, see if there's anything I need, and then go to the village carpenter to get it.

Song Yining went to check the room and found that all that was missing was a kang (heated brick bed), and that someone would build one for her after work in the afternoon.

The doors and windows will be installed in the next couple of days, and then the house will be aired out before the furniture is brought in.
