After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
Marshal Li glanced at Wei Changgen, then left without saying anything, leaving Wei Changgen, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, feeling panicked and confused.
"Come back! Who are you? You can't just ignore me! What do you want?" Wei Changgen panicked, but no one paid him any attention.
Only after those people had completely disappeared did a few people come in, cover his face again, and drag him away without a word.
No matter how he asked or shouted, these people ignored him and eventually became impatient and knocked him unconscious.
When he woke up again, he was back in the place where he had been sent down, where endless torment awaited him.
Before, at least after finishing his work, he would have something to eat. Now, he is always beaten for no reason, and in the end, he is even denied food.
At first, he thought he had offended the leader here, but he gradually realized that he was being targeted and that the leader didn't even know him.
He couldn't help but feel scared. What was going on? He thought carefully about what happened that day, and it seemed that things had changed ever since he mentioned his second son's family.
Could it be that they knew the second son's family had a powerful background and didn't want to offend anyone, so they gave up on him after much consideration?
Or is it that his son doesn't want to take care of him? How can this be? Wei Changgen felt that he couldn't just wait like this; he would be tortured to death by these people sooner or later.
He thought about the way out he had left himself: if he didn't want to acknowledge him, if he wanted to abandon him and live a good life on his own, there was no way he would accept it.
He was filled with hatred and had no idea that he had been tricked and that everything he had painstakingly concealed had been uncovered layer by layer.
He was unaware that his secrets had been completely exposed. After learning the truth, Marshal Li went directly to Yangliu Brigade.
When he arrived, Wei Baichuan and Su Ti had gone to another brigade to work on propaganda posters. Looking at the desolate place in front of him, he was filled with sadness.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" The brigade leader was busy in the field when he heard his team members say that a metal truck had driven to their brigade.
The brigade leader was taken aback. Usually, when people came to their place, even leaders of the commune, they would arrive by bicycle.
Those who can drive metal vehicles are all important people; they last saw them when Su Zhiqing's parents came to visit.
Looking at the imposing man in front of him, the battalion commander went through everything that had happened in their battalion.
"You're the captain of Yangliu Brigade, right? I'm looking for... looking for Su Zhiqing." Marshal Li could guess who the visitor was.
He didn't know the child's name, nor whether the child would acknowledge them. He only knew that the child's surname was now Wei. Finally, he thought of Brother Guo's granddaughter.
He knew her surname was Su, so he figured it couldn't be wrong to say that, and he was afraid of causing trouble for the child.
"Looking for Su, the educated youth? Are you a relative of hers? She went to work in another brigade and usually comes back in the afternoon. How about I take you to the brigade headquarters for a chat?"
When the brigade leader heard that they had come to see Su Zhiqing, he was relieved, thinking they were just looking for trouble again.
"No need, may I stroll around your brigade?" Marshal Li, seeing his attitude, thought that the two children must be very popular in the brigade.
He wanted to see where they lived, and he wanted to learn more about the two children.
The battalion commander just mentioned that they work in another battalion, and Marshal Li has a lot of questions he wants to ask.
He had lived his whole life, and now, in his old age, he had suffered so much, both physically and mentally.
Seeing this man, the brigade leader couldn't help but think of the grandfather that Su Zhiqing had mentioned, and noticed that there were several people following behind him.
The man, with his wary gaze sweeping around, must be Su Zhiqing's maternal grandfather.
Fortunately, they got along well with Su Zhiqing and never gave them a hard time because of the Wei family.
Otherwise, you'd see people coming to her house every few days. If they knew they were making things difficult for Su Zhiqing, they'd be in big trouble.
"Okay, then take your time looking around. I still have work to do in the fields. I'll tell you when Su and the others come back."
The team leader was very enthusiastic, but there was still a lot of work to be done in the fields.
Marshal Li nodded politely and followed him to the field.
"Captain, who is this guy?" The team members all gathered around. Their team had been quite lively lately. Could this guy be here to cause trouble again?
“They’re relatives of Su Zhiqing’s family. Alright, everyone get back to work.” The brigade leader glanced at the people and said in a low voice.
Not to mention his teammates, he was intimidated by the group of people.
When the team members heard that they were looking for Su Zhiqing, they stopped asking questions and realized that he must be a high-ranking leader, so they all became serious.
They had to perform well and couldn't let Su, the educated youth, down. Their brigade was counting on Su to bring honor to their team.
What if they later find them disagreeable and send Su, the educated youth, back home?
Looking at the team members in the field, all of them full of passion and energy, Marshal Li felt even more uneasy.
He dedicated his entire life to the country and its people, willing to die for his country in times of crisis. But once the country was stable, his family was lost.
His only descendant grew up in such an environment. What was the point of all those years of struggle?
He was worthy of his country, but he failed his family.
"What are you looking at? No matter how much you look, they're not here to see you." Wei Baidao was working in a corner when he saw Su Nianyou looking around and said sarcastically.
Su Nianyou worked with the people in the cowshed for a while, but now there's really nothing good to do there, so she's been sent back to the fields.
Of course, the team members did the easy work, but she was the most tired, doing the work that men usually do. It was quite conspicuous for a woman to be sandwiched between men.
"I'm just curious. I've never seen this person before, but I know all of Suti's relatives." They were too far away to hear what the captain said immediately.
But the team members were good at relaying messages, and soon they heard from the people in front that this person was a relative of Suti's family.
Su Nianyou felt something was wrong. Su Ti's maternal grandfather's side of the family had a small population, and she had never met this person before.
Her father's relatives were from the same family as hers, so she was even more certain that there was no such person.
"Who cares who they are? What, you want to try and get involved? With the relationship between our family and the second son's family, you wish."
Wei Baidao is only thinking about how to leave this place. He doesn't want to live like this for even a day longer. As long as Su Nianyou doesn't cause him any trouble, she can do whatever she wants.
"You don't understand." Su Nianyou felt that Su Ti was the one who had ruined her life.
They didn't know that Suti, like her, was a time traveler. She was able to gain the upper hand and find the male lead, so Suti might also have some powerful backing.
When she saw this person, she had a feeling that if she let things go unchecked, she would never be able to surpass Suti.
"Yes, I don't understand. You better behave yourself, or I won't care about you." Wei Baidao was so angry that he laughed. If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, he wouldn't have bothered to ask.
He was used to her occasional outbursts of madness.
