Sheng Zhiyi didn't say anything, but the meaning expressed in his eyes was obviously the same as Shen Qinghuan's.

Without saying a word, he found the root of a vine, picked up his hoe, and started digging.

Sheng Zhiyi dug along the growth direction of the kudzu root rhizome.

After a while, I found several kudzu roots hidden under the soil.

It looks a bit like a large potato that has lost water and shriveled up, with roots growing deep in the soil in clusters.

Sheng Zhiyi carefully spent some time to dig out the strange-looking kudzu roots one by one intactly.

This original Pueraria root does not look good.

Even in Shen Qinghuan's eyes,

It is not much different from the firewood in the kitchen.

Shen Qinghuan squatted on the ground, picked up a kudzu root, and knocked it on the ground beside him...

Wow...so hard!

It even knocked a small hole in the ground...

Shen Qinghuan: ………

The expression on his face is hard to describe...

He looked at the things on the ground that looked like tree roots.

For the first time, I had some doubts about what my sister said.

But soon, this trace of doubt disappeared.

What followed... was an overwhelming surge of grief.

He looked at his sister with eyes full of heartache, and his mind was full of thoughts.

He simply couldn't imagine...what kind of hard life his sister had been going through these years...

That's why they even think things like tree roots are good things.

Many images suddenly emerged in Shen Qinghuan's mind...

One moment, it was the image of my sister starving...she was so hungry that she was weak and her eyes were dull...

One moment, it was the image of my younger sister, who had suffered from hunger and cold since childhood, howling loudly...

Shen Qinghuan shuddered suddenly and shook his head quickly to shake off the image in his mind.

Such a scene... He simply couldn't imagine it.

Just thinking about it made him feel heartbroken.

For a moment...

The look he gave his sister became even more distressed.

That look... was like looking at a weak, helpless, and miserable little thing.

The thought of his sister being an educated youth who came to Yanshan Brigade to work in the countryside.

Shen Qinghuan even had worse guesses in his mind.

His precious sister might have been born in a family that favors boys over girls.

otherwise……

How could her family bear to let a delicate and soft little girl like her go to the countryside alone to earn work points to support herself?

After all... the Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement has been going on for many years.

How many people today are unaware of the hardships faced by the educated youth who went to the countryside?

Especially since my younger sister was born with such a delicate body...

It's obvious that he's not cut out for work.

But even so,

She was still cruelly pushed out by her family and sent to the countryside.

Thinking of this...

Shen Qinghuan was heartbroken.

His cute, kind and weak sister...

She suffered!!!

It was all their fault that they didn’t find my aunt earlier, which caused my sister to suffer so much outside.

Otherwise...if she was born in their Shen family,

Their whole family will definitely hold their sister in their hands and pamper and protect her as she grows up.

How could I bear to let her come to this countryside and suffer hardships?

Shen Qinghuan's thoughts were churning deep in his heart.

He even started to think of his little aunt...

I don't know what kind of hard life his aunt has been through during the years she has been missing...

Will you often be harassed by your in-laws?

Have you ever been bullied by your husband’s family because you don’t have any family members from your own family?

Is it that she doesn’t even have a say in her husband’s family?

Otherwise...how could his aunt let his sister come to the countryside?

The more Shen Qinghuan thought about it, the more upset he felt.

He secretly glanced at his sister out of the corner of his eyes, the heartache in his eyes almost overflowing!

…

What a pity...
