Xiao Yuheng's gaze fell on the girl with braided pigtails. Although she was wearing clothes that had been washed until they were faded, and her body was thin due to long-term malnutrition, she was different from the girls he had known before.

Especially when their eyes met, those dark, bright eyes held so many emotions that he had a strange feeling.

This was extremely rare for him. He had joined the army when he was a teenager and had met countless people over the years, but never had a stranger evoked such emotional turmoil in him.

When Chen Yong inquired about the situation, everyone chimed in with their own stories of what had just happened. Xiao Yuheng frowned as he looked at Zhang Changsheng. Although he had seen many people like this before, he still found it distasteful.

"Sending educated youth to the countryside is a national policy. As long as it complies with the regulations, we should do it the same way we always do."

He was a soldier, always principled, and more importantly, he wanted to remind Gu An'an not to fall into the other party's trap.

The family thought Xiao Yuheng was speaking up for them, and were about to give Gu An'an a smug smile when they heard him continue, "As for whether these two did anything they shouldn't have, we'll find out when the police arrive."

Gu An'an understood that the other person was speaking up for her. She gave Xiao Yuheng a grateful look, let go of the old lady's support, stood up straight, and spoke in a strong and clear voice.

“My maternal grandfather donated all his family property unconditionally for the country and the people, and he was commended by the Party and the country. My mother was also very conscientious in her work when she was alive. How could I, as their descendant, have bad thoughts?”

“Originally, I thought that no matter what position I was in, as long as I used my own hands to contribute to the great cause of our motherland, I would be doing a good job. I could also be closer to my grandparents and mother and visit them from time to time. That’s why I applied for a job at the textile factory. I never expected that in your eyes, I was avoiding going to the countryside and that I had a problem with my thinking!”

“Let me tell you, I’m a family man and I’m not a coward. Even if this trip to the countryside was a setup by you, I’ll go wherever the neighborhood committee has made the arrangements.”

"Just tell me honestly, have you forgotten how much my grandfather helped you? Did you forget all the care my mother gave you? Did you ever think about our family when you had an affair with her and had these three bastards?"
