Chapter 9: Demotion is impossible (1/2)



But this life is different.

God gave her half a month.

After deducting the time for submitting and reviewing the whistleblower letter, she has at least seven days to prepare.

Seven days.

That's enough.

"Mom, this is really not a joke."

Xue Ru grasped her mother-in-law's hand with one hand and instinctively protected her protruding belly with the other, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, "When those people came to our door, it was like...bandits passing through, it was terrifying."

"Yes, Mom knows."

Yu Mingxiang had experienced this once in her previous life, and the experience was terrible. She patted her daughter-in-law's hand reassuringly and said, "Don't be afraid, Mom has made all the plans."

What are Mom's plans?

The three of them looked at her at the same time.

"Isn't your Aunt Zhao working at the registration point? Mom will go see her tomorrow."

Yu Mingxiang wore a calm, gentle smile. As the pillar of the family, she had to reassure her children, "Sending them to the countryside is impossible!"

"As long as we go to the countryside quickly enough, no one can expect to send us down!"

The treatment of educated youth sent to the countryside and those sent down to the countryside as low-ranking officials was completely different.

Especially for highly educated cadres like them who voluntarily send their entire families to the countryside, it's said that they have high political awareness, and when they return to the city, it's like having a gilded resume.

In an era when the "ninth graders" were universally condemned and those sent to the countryside were avoided like the plague, their awareness, if not higher than the sky, allowed them to walk with their heads held high.

Even if those people who are eyeing their family try to cause trouble again, she can still argue her case based on this awareness.

Moreover, there are additional benefits for those who voluntarily go to the countryside.

The headcount fee of over two hundred yuan per person was not a problem for Yu Mingxiang, who was not short of money and did not care. However, the benefit of being able to choose the location of her assignment in the countryside was something she really appreciated.

In the large courtyard of the siheyuan, the three children were shocked by Yu Mingxiang's words.

Yu Mingxiang dropped another bombshell.

"By the way, our destination for going to the countryside is Hedao Village at the foot of Changbai Mountain in Northeast China. I'll take you to find your younger sister."

These words were spoken.

"What?"

"A biological sister? Could she be a fake?"

"..."

"Of course there are fake ones, aren't there? The fake ones are locked up in the storage room right now, aren't they?"

Yu Mingxiang glanced at the crack in the door to the main room's storage room and said coolly, "When you want to secretly help her, you'd better think about your own sister."

"While she was living a life of luxury in our home, treated like a precious gem, she insisted on going abroad, causing our whole family to be sent to the countryside. Meanwhile, your own sister was in a poor, remote mountain village, starving and freezing, being treated like a beast of burden!"

The three of them were quite shocked by this sudden news and were unable to accept it for a while.

Yu Mingxiang pressed on, "To tell you the truth, even if I'm careless, I'm not so careless as to mix up the children. It was that family, the family I stayed with on my mission, who secretly switched our children."

"They wanted their own children to have a better life, but left your sister to suffer in the countryside. Knowing she wasn't their biological child, you can imagine what kind of life your sister was living in that family..."

"So, you should think carefully about how you should face Qin Yuzhu in the future."

After saying that, Yu Mingxiang quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then grabbed her keys and prepared to leave.

Knowing that the whole family was going to the countryside and that the younger sister was not their biological child, Qin Weiguo and his two companions were filled with worries and ate their meal without tasting it.

Seeing that Yu Mingxiang was about to go out again, and Qin Weiguo was at home taking care of his pregnant wife, Qin Xiangdong took the initiative to ask, "Mom, are you going out again?"

"Um."

Yu Mingxiang turned and glanced at him. "Do you want to come along?"

Too many rabbit burrows are a headache, and it's quite strenuous for her to dig them all by herself.

Even by the time they reach the countryside, they might not be able to finish digging.

"Together."

Qin Xiangdong straightened his clothes and followed his mother out the door.

Yu Mingxiang checked the time and led him to a courtyard that was quite far from home.

When the mother and son work together, it's faster than when she works alone.

In less than half an hour, everything in the yard had been dug up.
