Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Lan Shu was walking back to the staff dormitory of the machinery factory, she happened to meet the furious Lan Dazhuang downstairs.

Lan Dazhuang was stunned to see his sister smiling and in a good mood.

Lan Dazhuang: “?”

Didn’t the eldest daughter of the Xu family say that the bastard wanted to divorce his sister?

However, if that was the case, given how infatuated Lan Shu was with Xu Yunjie, would she be so happy?

Could it be that… the two of them reconciled after arguing?

Lan Dazhuang was very strong when it came to farming in the village, but he did not have the smartest brain.

Since he couldn’t figure it out, he would just ask.

Hence, Lan Shu saw a burly man walking toward her and stopping her. “Sis, where’s Xu Yunjie? Did he bully you? Tell me, I’ll help you teach him a lesson!”

Lan Shu was stunned.

A moment later, she matched the memories of the person in front of her with the original host’s!

Lan Dazhuang, a villager from Tianshui Village and Lan Shu’s elder brother.

Lan Dazhuang lived up to his name. He was tall and strong, a farmer.

In the current era, when the villagers were still collectively farming and working, Lan Dazhuang’s workload alone was comparable to two adult men in their village. Hence, the social credits that the Lan family received every year could not be used up even if they were exchanged for food.

This big brother of the Lan family was also the one who brainlessly doted on the original host the most when she was at home in the past!

Although Lan Shu was not the original host of the body, she had been an orphan since she was young. Suddenly, she was affected by this strong familial love. There was almost no estrangement in her heart, and she quickly accepted her big brother’s concern.

“Brother, I wasn’t bullied. I divorced Xu Yunjie.”

“It’s good that you weren’t bullied… D-Divorce?!”

Lan Dazhuang didn’t react at first. When he heard his sister’s words clearly, he was instantly dumbfounded!

Especially when he saw his sister take out a divorce certificate from her pocket and wave it in front of his eyes…

This man, who had always been fearless, was so shocked by his sister’s frankness that his legs went limp and he staggered on the spot.

“Sis, you, you, you… If Xu Yunjie is disobedient, I’ll help you teach him a lesson. A divorce… Won’t it be bad for your reputation?”

“But I hate him. I don’t want to see him anymore,” Lan Shu said calmly as she kept the divorce certificate. Then, she looked up at Lan Dazhuang.

“If he’s not sincere to me, then what’s the point of keeping him?”

Hearing this, Lan Dazhuang fell silent.

Even if he wasn’t very smart, he had already seen through the situation his sister was talking about.

However, her younger sister did not care if Xu Yunjie was sincere about her in the past. Had she suddenly thought things through now?

However, regardless of whether she had thought it through or not, his sister’s divorce was already set in stone. There was no room for negotiation.

Since his sister had already made up her mind and made a decision, her reputation… With him around, who would dare to say anything bad about his sister?!

“Since you don’t like him, we won’t keep the Xu family’s coward around either! Don’t worry, we’ll find a good man from the village who’ll treat you sincerely tomorrow!”

Lan Shu didn’t expect Lan Dazhuang to accept her decision so easily. He didn’t say anything bad about her.

This feeling of unconditional trust and respect for her decisions warmed her heart.

As for the words that he said after that, Lan Shu did not take them to heart at all.

She had suddenly come to this era and had yet to understand her own life. She would not consider finding a man for the time being.

It was good that her ‘family’ could accept her divorce now.

“Let’s go, Sis. I’ll help you pack your things. Let’s go home!” Lan Dazhuang was never one to drag things out.

At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

A sincere smile appeared on her fair and chubby face. Then, she nodded slightly and said softly and seriously, “Okay.”

Thus, when Xu Yunjie returned to his room, Lan Dazhuang had already helped Lan Shu pack her luggage. The two of them left the county by tractor.

His ungratefulness was also publicized by Lan Dazhuang’s loud voice when he was packing the things. Everyone in the building knew about it!

It turned out that Mr. Xu was actually the Lan family’s live-in son-in-law!

Mr. Xu relied on Miss Lan Shu’s family’s money to study at university!

Xu Yunjie was a despicable person who burned bridges after crossing them! Once he became rich, he despised his wife who had done him a favor back then!

The colleagues previously had a kind and gentle impression of Xu Yunjie, but that immediately disappeared!

Instead, all of Xu Yunjie’s neighbors and colleagues looked at him with disdain.

When Xu Yunjie realized this, he knew it was useless even if he explained!

In this era where there was a lack of entertainment activities, anyone who had dirt on them would definitely be treated as a topic of idle chat. They would be frequently talked about.

Even rumors could be believed, let alone the truth. How could words that came from an honest man like Lan Dazhuang be fake?

Hence, no one believed Xu Yunjie’s explanation.

They only believed the truth that they had heard with their own ears!

…

On the other hand, Lan Shu, who was returning to the village with Lan Dazhuang, was asked by her brother how she had been doing in the county.

Lan Shu told Lan Dazhuang about the host’s situation according to the memories she had.

When Lan Dazhuang heard that his sister had not been eating well and had even been treated coldly by Xu Yunjie for the past month, he was furious!

“If I had known that ungrateful ingrate would treat you like this, I would’ve left later and waited for him to come back. I would’ve beaten him up to avenge you!”

Lan Dazhuang regretted it!

He regretted not punching Xu Yunjie in the face despite his strength. He left just like that and easily let go of the bastard who bullied his sister!

At the side, Lan Shu listened to Lan Dazhuang and remained silent the entire time.

She wasn’t the original host of the body, so she didn’t comment on the past.

But in the future, she would not let herself be bullied by anyone.

Under Lan Dazhuang’s concern and nagging, Lan Shu returned to the host’s home in Tianshui Village more than an hour later.

Breathing in the fresh air that had the fragrance of grass in the village, Lan Shu’s flustered and impetuous mood from arriving in this era gradually calmed down.

She, who didn’t have a home in the past, suddenly had some expectations for a home in this era…

…

The Lan family of Tianshui Village was a household name in the village.

Although the Lan family was an outsider in the village, the villagers had never treated them as one.

About 20 years ago, in the early 1950s, a large number of young people in the city went to the countryside to receive re-education from poor middle-class farmers. Among them, two young people took a fancy to each other and got married in the village.

Not long after, the newlywed couple had a child. Their first child was Lan Dazhuang!
