Although Gao Hongyuan used her connections to send her parents away to avoid trouble, she still had an older sister who was already married in Haishi.

Although Tian Mi was tricked back to Haishi by her family, and given the Tian family's current power, no one would dare to issue her a letter of introduction to return to Heilongjiang Province if the old man gave the order.

In an era when you couldn't leave the city without a letter of introduction, Tian Mi couldn't leave Haishi no matter how much she made a fuss.

Even so, she never gave up on Gao Hongyuan. When her family wouldn't help her, she took matters into her own hands. Without her parents' restraint, she set her sights on Gao Hongyuan's older sister, who had been married for many years.

First, she used her family's influence to get rid of her eldest sister and brother-in-law's jobs. Then, she framed Gao's eldest sister for practicing feudal superstition and imprisoned her in a cowshed, all in order to force Gao Hongyuan to return to Haishi.

The Tian family was already dissatisfied with Gao Hongyuan's situation. According to the Tian family patriarch, it was already Gao Hongyuan who was marrying above his station since his granddaughter had taken a liking to Gao Hongyuan, whose family had already fallen on hard times.

If it weren't for their appreciation of Gao Hongyuan's abilities, it should have been their family that disagreed. But unexpectedly, their family even sent their precious granddaughter to the countryside to arrange this marriage.

Gao Hongyuan was so ungrateful that he hurt his precious granddaughter for the sake of an orphaned female educated youth. This was something the Tian family elders absolutely could not accept.

Therefore, behind all the things Tian Mi did, there was undoubtedly the tacit approval of the Tian family.

However, despite the Tian family's clever scheme, Gao Hongyuan had many friends in Shanghai. Although these young people could not yet contend with a family like the Tian family, they could still pull some dirty tricks behind the scenes.

Gao Hongyuan wasn't the type to obediently fall into a trap set for him. Just like this time when he returned to Haishi, he thought that the Tian family must have already made preparations and were just waiting for him to return so they could deal with him.

So although Gao Hongyuan bought a ticket back to Haishi, he didn't get off the train in Haishi. Instead, he got off in Suzhou, which is not far from Haishi, and then quietly returned to Haishi in the car that came to pick them up.

After returning to Haishi, he did not stay at a guesthouse, but instead stayed at a friend's house. This way, his whereabouts in Haishi were no longer controlled by the Tian family, making it much easier for him to do things behind the scenes.

Before Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi even returned to Haishi, the people here had already grasped almost everything about Sister Gao's situation.

Gao Hongyuan's brother-in-law was an orphan and had no relatives left. If it weren't for the fact that Gao Hongyuan's brother-in-law couldn't bear to give up his job in Haishi, Gao Hongyuan originally planned to send the three of them away together.

Although it's a bit troublesome now, it's only a family of three, so it's not too difficult for Gao Hongyuan.

On the very night that Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi arrived in Haishi, a fire broke out in a cowshed where people who promoted feudal superstitions were being held. A family of three imprisoned inside were burned to the bone.

Meanwhile, Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi had already quietly left Haishi with Gao's eldest sister and her family of three in the same car they had come in.

The key to a good tactic is refinement, not innovation. This was the same tactic they used when they saw the elders of the Gao and Wang families off.

The bodies of the four elderly people were easy to deal with back then, but now, with a family of three, including the body of a five- or six-year-old girl, and having to keep this a secret from the Tian family with their many spies, it really took a lot of effort from Gao Hongyuan and his friends.

Finally, the bodies of a family of three, who had died from coal smoke inhalation, were found in a remote village.

Thankfully, the requirements for autopsies in this era were not as rigorous, so even if the Tian family had some suspicions, there was nothing they could do.

Having been tricked twice by Gao Hongyuan using the same methods, the Tian family was quite resentful, yet they were powerless against Gao Hongyuan, who was already thousands of miles away.

The Tian family also lost face because of these two actions. You have to understand that in a big city like Haishi, the Tian family is not the only one in power.

Putting aside others, Gao Hongyuan's friends are all from prominent families; otherwise, without their help, Gao Hongyuan wouldn't have been able to get things done so smoothly.

The major families are inherently competitors. Although the leaders of those families cannot openly support their family members in making an enemy of the Tian family, it does not prevent them from supporting the Tian family behind the scenes and then watching the Tian family make a fool of themselves.

Just like now, after Tian Mi's repeated meddling, not only has she successfully made the Tian family a laughing stock in Haishi, but she has also ruined her own good marriage prospects for the rest of her life.

In today's Shanghai, which family with similar means would marry a venomous woman who chases after men relentlessly and doesn't hesitate to persecute their relatives? Do they think they have too much time on their hands?

Of course, these were not things Gao Hongyuan needed to consider. At this moment, he and Wang Zhi were taking the introduction letter from their friend in Haishi and his sister's family of three to a small station more than 100 kilometers away from Haishi when they boarded the train.

Before coming, Gao Hongyuan had already arranged a route to take his parents out. Once they arrived, he could also take his sister's family of three out. He had already contacted his parents, who would be there to meet them.

After all the hustle and bustle, a whole month had passed by the time Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi saw off Sister Gao's family and returned to Qingshan Brigade. It was now the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

At this moment, the Qingshan Brigade is filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

As luck would have it, the day the two returned to Wangshan County happened to coincide with the village's pig slaughtering for the New Year. This was a double blessing for Gu Xinyi. Of course, at this time, Gu Xinyi was unaware that the man she had been longing for was already on his way back.
