After saying these words, Guan Yumei slammed the courtyard gate shut.

Su Ruyi looked ahead and saw that Su Tong had already walked quite a distance with his cart.

It was quite far, at least seven or eight meters away, but I could still hear Guan Yumei clearly.

Su Ruyi hurriedly chased after him: "Fourth Brother, shall I pull the cart?"

Su Tong tightened the leather strap on his shoulder, turning his face away so Su Ruyi wouldn't see the tears in his eyes: "No need, your fourth brother has the strength. When we cross the small bridge later, you can give him a push from behind."

"Okay." Su Ruyi said, placing her hand on the back of the car and secretly applying force.

Then you could see that Su Tong straightened his back a little.

Su Ruyi sighed, "Brother, Mom is just a sharp-tongued person... um, don't take it to heart." She originally wanted to say that she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, but it was really hard to lie through her teeth.

Su Tong forced a smile:

“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you to go to the countryside. Once that family is gone, it will really have nothing to do with me anymore.”

From now on, I will not give them a single penny of my salary or royalties.

As you wish, I will send you thirty yuan every month from now on.

If you go to the countryside, it would be great if you didn't have to work in the fields. Ideally, you could be a scorekeeper or a school teacher.

When you see an opportunity, don't hesitate. Give gifts when appropriate, and be humble when necessary. You can't hit a smiling face. Pleasant words don't cost money. In short, be clever.

Also, never reveal your strength, and don't be foolish enough to compete for any "advanced" positions, understand?

"Fourth Brother, I know." Su Ruyi smiled brightly after hearing what was considered treasonous at the time. "That's what I thought too. However, my first and most important task after going to the countryside is to save Fifth Brother!"

"You'd better not get involved in Fifth Brother's affairs."

Ruyi, the waters of Dingjiatun are deep; what you need to do is protect yourself first.

Besides, Su Zhenzhu and Su Yin are also going to the same place with you.

You must also be careful around them.

Su Zhenzhu is both stupid and wicked; getting involved with her will only bring trouble. Stay far away from her. Su Yin… sigh, let's not even mention her!” Su Tong whispered a few words of advice.

Su Ruyi swallowed hard, but ultimately didn't reveal that Su Yin was going to a different place than they were.

It wasn't that she was wary of her fourth brother, but she was genuinely afraid of complications arising from this.

After Su Tong finished speaking, he became puzzled again: "Su Zhenzhu only broke her arm, how come she needs to be hospitalized? When you bring her food again, why don't you ask the doctor?"

“I’ve never brought her food to the hospital,” Su Ruyi said.

"What?! Hahahaha!" After listening, Su Tong thought for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter. "This is the Su family! How could someone who wasn't utterly wicked in their past life be reborn into such a family?"

In her past life… Su Ruyi’s gaze drifted into the distance.

The two moved their belongings to the food factory, where Su Xiangjun was waiting at the door.

The old gatekeeper was completely stunned. When he heard Su Ruyi call Su Xiangjun "Uncle," his eyes seemed to look as if he had learned some incredible information.

Su Ruyi admitted that she deliberately called him that, "Uncle," instead of "Uncle Su."

A difference of just one word, yet a great deal of knowledge is involved—

Su Tong had no connections in the food factory, and he was given such a prestigious position, so countless eyes were secretly watching him.

Since they happen to share the same surname, it's better to let everyone misunderstand that Su Tong and Su Xiangjun are relatives. That way, at least Su Tong won't be openly bullied at the food factory.

Su Xiangjun and his sister Su Tong and Su Ruyi chatted and laughed, attracting the attention of many people along the way.

Not only that, Su Xiangjun even sent two young workers to help move things.

They even found out the address of the handcart and arranged for a young worker to take it back.

Many hands make light work. In less than twenty minutes, all the items were moved into the dormitory and roughly arranged.

The rest is just a matter of organizing it slowly.

Su Tong asked a young worker for the time, then led Su Ruyi toward the supply and marketing cooperative.

The exam is at 3 PM, and they're still waiting for it.

...

Meanwhile, in the orthopedics department of Haicheng People's Hospital, Su Zhenzhu lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Her right arm was amputated.

It was a very sharp cut, made by sawing down from the shoulder joint.

Yes, a saw.

Whether it was due to insufficient anesthesia or not, the four burly male doctors in the orthopedics department almost couldn't hold her down. Su Zhenzhu's wailing and screaming echoed throughout the entire hospital.

After the amputation, she was given a sedative and remained unconscious for a day and a night.

She had many dreams during that day and night.

In my dream, she actually went to the countryside.

Moreover, it was her third brother, Su Yin, who secretly signed her up.

Also, Su Tong and Su Ruyi, those jinxes, were secretly signed up by Su Yin to go to the countryside.

In her dream, Su Manao's pendant was not lost, nor was her job.

After signing several people up to go to the countryside, Su Yin took their resettlement fees and then sold his temporary job for three hundred yuan.

Su Zhenzhu dreamed that on her first day in the countryside, she was arranged by her enthusiastic fifth sister-in-law, Ding Xiuling, to stay at her parents' house.

Her family home naturally had better accommodations than the educated youth settlement. At least, three people didn't have to squeeze onto a small kang (heated brick bed), where it was difficult to even turn over in the sweltering summer heat.

Su Zhenzhu picked up her luggage and, ignoring Su Ruyi's objections, happily headed off.

Fifth Sister-in-law's family was very hospitable, preparing a large table of food to entertain her, and even bringing out their homemade corn liquor.

It's both sweet and spicy, and very addictive.

A group of aunties and older women urged her to drink, and she drank too much, eventually collapsing onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
