Director Zhong smiled and said, "Okay, it has a bit of a rebel vibe."
Xie Yun thought about it and asked the question in his heart, "Why does Sister Ji live in the dormitory alone?"
Director Zhong said, "You didn't ask Sister Ji this question, did you?"
"No."
"That's good, don't ask. We'll tell you quietly, and you just need to know."
Xie Yun's curiosity was piqued. "What's going on?"
Director Zhong said, "Your sister Ji has no home. In 1949, her husband went south as a cadre, and within two years, he wanted to divorce her. Sister Ji went south herself and saw that her husband had been living with a young woman without her knowledge."
Xie Yun: "How abominable!"
Secretary Li said: "This situation was very common back then. Many women chose to swallow their anger, get some compensation, divorce and remarry. The worst case scenario was that the man divorced but did not leave home. He lived a carefree life in the south, leaving his original wife back home to serve his parents-in-law, take care of his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and raise the children.
But your sister Ji was different. After she went there, she didn't alert the suspects. She first investigated secretly. After she had thoroughly investigated the matter, she caught the two men in the act, tied them up and dragged them through the streets. Then, she reported the case to the higher authorities and sought justice for herself. Her husband was dismissed and sentenced to five years in prison.
Your elder sister Ji used the same rigorous attitude towards dealing with the Japanese as she did towards her ex-husband."
Xie Yun gave Sister Ji a thumbs-up and asked, "What happened next? Five years later, he was released and continued to live a good life?"
"That shouldn't be possible. But after your sister Ji dealt with him, she stopped paying attention to him. We don't know what happened afterwards."
"Then how did you know that?"
"When we took office, our predecessors told us this. The former secretary and director repeatedly told us to work hard, not to have any bad intentions, and not to let Old Ji catch us. Otherwise, we will be skinned alive."
Xie Yun: "...No wonder you two are so decent!"
Secretary Li said, "What are you talking about! We are both decent people because we are both decent people!"
Xie Yun laughed out loud, "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing."
Secretary Li and Director Zhong didn't hold it against her. After sharing an office for several months, they had a good understanding of Xiao Xie. Essentially, she was a good kid with a lively personality, a bit of a mischievous side, a kind heart, and a sense of justice.
