Lu Xiuyuan wanted to say something, but Su Miaomiao had already leaned her head on his shoulder.

Lu Xiuyuan paused for a moment as the words were about to come out of his mouth. He sat up a little straighter so that Su Miaomiao could lean on him more comfortably.

"Lu Xiuyuan." After an unknown amount of time, Su Miaomiao suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xiuyuan raised his eyes.

"Do you know that some people in this world are born bad?" Su Miaomiao said.

Lu Xiuyuan seemed a little confused as to why Su Miaomiao suddenly brought up this topic, but he still nodded.

"I know that in the course of carrying out my missions, I have also encountered many purely evil people. They have no reason or position, and they just do evil."

When Su Miaomiao heard this, she nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Lu Xiuyuan waited for a while but received no response. He looked down and found that Su Miaomiao had closed her eyes and fallen asleep.

He then slowed down his movements, trying not to disturb her as much as possible.

It was a very quiet night, and no one from Huangjia Village came out to cause trouble.

The next day, at dawn, Huo Chengwang opened his eyes driven by his biological clock.

"Chengwang, why are you up so early?" Huo Jianguo looked at him in surprise.

"We have to go to work." Huo Chengwang said.

"It's not even daybreak yet, why are you working?" Huo Jianguo frowned.

"We are reformed elements and have to start work earlier than other people in the village." Huo Chengwang said.

"There is no such rule." Huo Jianguo said firmly.

"It's the village's rule." Huo Chengwang said hoarsely.

A faint rustling sound came from behind him, and the other people in Uncle Huo's family also got up.

"All of you lie down and get some sleep. You don't have to go to work tomorrow!" Huo Jianguo said word by word.

They could not walk steadily, and even his second sister-in-law was in a trance. How could they do any work in this state?

"But this will cause dissatisfaction among the villagers, and they will target you." Huo Chengwang was a little worried.

"Then let them come to me. I want to see how they target me!" Huo Jianguo said this with full confidence.

The letter his mentor sent him had already said that the higher-ups had relaxed their stance on their family's situation, so he wasn't afraid of offending a small village chief.

"But..." Huo Chengwang wanted to say something, but Huo Jianguo interrupted him again.

"Just trust your uncle. Just take a good rest and take care of yourself first. I'll take care of the rest." Huo Jianguo's eyes were extremely firm.

Huo Chengwang stared at him for a moment, and finally chose to believe him and comfort his mother, his wife, and children again.

In the two years since they were sent down to the countryside, they really haven't had a full and good night's sleep.

Their bodies are craving sleep madly. If they were allowed to sleep freely, they could probably sleep for three days and three nights without any problem.

As expected, they fell asleep again soon after lying down.

Huo Jianguo watched them fall asleep again before getting up.

Not far away, Su Miaomiao was resting on Lu Xiuyuan's shoulder.

Huo Jianguo didn't bother them and only looked for Huo Wenbo.

"Wenbo, I'm going to the village of Qiong. You take good care of your mother, your sister, and your second uncle's family here." Huo Jianguo instructed.

"Dad, what do you want to do?" Huo Wenbo's heart suddenly tightened.
