He stepped forward: "Ning Zhiqing, we are all like-minded comrades. Don't be afraid, we've come to protect you and severely punish the bad elements!"

Ning Yuan's expression was complex and dazed.

She has been married to Li Yan for decades and hasn't experienced any of the exaggerated plotlines found in most novels, such as being killed by her husband and a mistress.

Li Yan was born into a family of good standing, and he was known for his fairness and integrity. He became the youngest squad leader in the commune at a very young age.

They met when she was cutting the queue and were introduced by someone. They later fell in love freely.

Li Yan later studied at the Lin Academy and became a young and promising state-owned enterprise official.

By the time he reached thirty, he had become the youngest provincial-level cadre in state-owned enterprises at that time.

And she had always been just an ordinary worker in the unit. Everyone said she had gotten lucky and become the director's wife.

As Zhang Ailing once said, life is like a brocade robe, with lice crawling all over it.

She worked so hard at the silk factory, working three shifts a day. Even while pregnant, she had to do housework. She was overworked and miscarried three times. Finally, it was he who wanted a child that persuaded her to transfer to an accounting position so she wouldn't keep miscarrying.

He was so busy with work that he barely spent any time at home in a year. He disliked that she couldn't give birth to a son and had a low educational background, and they had nothing in common.

He has a bad temper and yells at people at home if things don't go his way.

And then...

He has a talented female reporter at his communications agency who is his muse.

Ningyuan knew that Li Yan must have thought about divorcing her many times.

But because of social influence, the female journalist waited for him for ten years, and in the end, they were still not together.

It seems like everyone in the family compound knows what's going on, but she can only pretend to be oblivious.

She earns a low salary, and divorce is looked down upon by this generation.

Everyone says he was just having a fling outside of marriage. Men have homes in their hearts, they don't mind she can't give birth to a son, so she burned incense to pray for him.

可......

Every night, she lay awake until dawn, tears soaking her pillow. During the day, however, she still put on the facade of a dutiful wife and mother, managing the household.

As days went by, Ning Yuan developed severe depression and couldn't sleep a wink all night.

Depression won't attack others like someone with schizophrenia, but it attacks the patient themselves.

She retired early from her job, and her health started to decline. She experienced various immune issues, backaches, leg pains, and overall discomfort.

This is a glimpse into the lives of countless virtuous wives and mothers from older generations.

Ordinary and quiet, yet pain is like a dense swarm of needles pricking at the bottom of my heart.

Every night, she would fantasize countless times, wondering if she would still marry Li Yan if she could go back to the beginning.

And you, would you marry your husband again in this life

......

Ning Yuan stared blankly at the face before her.

"Ningyuan" Li Yan reached out and patted her shoulder with a worried expression.

Ning Yuan jumped back instinctively, several steps away, shouting: "No!"

Li Yan's hand froze in mid-air. Several people around him wearing red armbands also looked at each other in confusion. What was wrong with this female educated youth

Ning Yuan took a deep breath, calming herself down, and managed to smile: "I'm sorry, I was just a little shocked."

Li Yan looked at the girl's pale face with big eyes, and felt pity in his heart: "It's okay, the brigade will take care of you, and no bad person will get away with it!"

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Rong Zhaonan, who was leaning against the wall.

Róng Zhāonán stared at Ning Yuán expressionlessly, taking in her strange reaction.

What's the relationship between the young spy and this platoon secretary Their flirtation is unnatural.

"You little rascal, what are you looking at Get down on your knees and behave!" A few Red Guards beside Li Yan saw him speaking to Rong Zhaonan, so they immediately reprimanded him.

Ning Yuan also subconsciously looked at Rong Zhaonan.

He was very tall, wearing black-rimmed glasses and bowing his head. His bangs covered half his face, looking pale and submissive as he crouched against the wall.

Ning Yuan unconsciously took a few steps forward, blocking Rong Zhaonan's face: "Don't do this, he didn't bully me, he did nothing wrong."

All the Red Sleeves were stunned, and Li Yan's face once again grew serious: "Ning Yuan, don't cover up bad elements out of fear!"

Ning Yuan took a deep breath and looked up at Li Yan: "No, I'm not afraid, nor am I shielding bad people. Rong Doctor and I are talking about being together."

Li Yan's face turned pale, and he looked at Ning Yuan with some disbelief.

Although they haven't officially confirmed their relationship or started dating, it's clear that they have a good connection.

He had inspected the work of the Xia Cun Squad several times and assigned tasks to the commune. When he met her, they all had a lot to say.

Her eyes held a shy yet joyful light as she gazed at him. They agreed to meet again and officially begin dating.

This morning I heard that Ning Yuan had an accident last night, he immediately brought people over, he always believed she was innocent, someone must have bullied her last night.

Why...

Before she was about to break through the window paper and determine their relationship, she changed!

Several Red Arm Bands saw Li Yan's face turn ashen, and they were suddenly a little confused. What was going on

They also knew that the young squadron secretary was a handsome young man renowned throughout the surrounding villages.

Many girls like Li Yan, but he seems to have taken a liking to a female educated youth. It is said that she was bullied by bad elements, and he came over early this morning.

But looking at the current situation, it seems like Li Yan is rushing headlong into this, isn't he

Ning Yuan averted her eyes and no longer looked at Li Yan. She clenched her fists and said, "I don't know who spread the rumors, but Rong and I have already obtained a certificate from the village head, and we will go get our marriage license tomorrow!"

Heaven gave her a second chance at life, she doesn't want anything to do with Li Yan!

She needs to change her way of life this time, she's never going back to the old ways again. She can't keep living like this, depressed until the day she dies.

In the past, I wasn't brave enough to give it my all. Now, those who have passed on should be said goodbye to!

Li Yan stared at her, a strange and indescribable pain in his heart.

It felt like something was being let go of.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "Since... it's good to know that Ningzhiqing wasn't bullied, then I have work to do, I'll go first!"

Saying that, he turned and strode away.

The rest of the crimson sleeves looked at each other, then quickly followed suit.

In a short while, the area around the cowshed was quiet.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but redden her eyes, leaning against the wall as if she were weak.

She... truly was saying goodbye to her past life, her heart aching with a mixture of bitterness and anxiety.

Rong Zhaonan patted his trousers and stood up, looking in the direction where Li Yan left: "Is that young clerk your object He seems to look down on me."

Ning Yuan rubbed her temples wearily: "No, Li Yan is very honest in these aspects. He would never take revenge on you because of me."

Although Li Yan wasn't really a good husband, nor a good father.

Though, he has always been very upright in his work throughout his life, a rare find of integrity and honesty.

Although he held power in his hands, it never corrupted him. He never used it for personal gain.

Don't say that you bribed him by giving him money, even if someone gave him a basket of imported fruit, he would either refuse it or hand it over.

He lived a life of integrity and honesty. His wife and daughters rarely benefited from his position, he was truly a model official who kept himself above reproach!

Look, humans, are just that complicated.

Rong Zhaonan watched Ning Yuan speak of Li Yan in a familiar tone, he raised an eyebrow——

"You know him so well, why don't you ask him to help you get out of your current predicament You don't have to marry me."u-chen and her party of four. He seemed lost in thought, and his reaction speed was much slower than usual.After calling him for a few seconds, he finally came to his senses, forcing out a smile and s...
