The timing of Si Jin's news was very...unfortunate, as rumors had already spread all over the place.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that the road ahead was pitch black, the Spring City was covered in silver in winter, and there was no sound in the alley.

Si Jin took a moment to adapt and then walked towards his small courtyard.

The Liang family is an old family in Spring City. They live in a house allocated by the government in the early years. The yard is not big and there were only three rooms originally. When the eldest brother got married, two additional rooms were built, which made it a bit crowded.

The door is ajar, and warm yellow light pours out from the house. If you ignore the faint sound of breathing coming from the house, the scene is quite peaceful and beautiful.

There is a thin layer of snow in the small courtyard full of life. It must be that my father and brother have not gotten off work yet, so they only swept it once and were covered with new snow.

There is a row of large vats under the eaves, which contain pickled soybean paste and various pickles. The two at the end contain sticky bean buns, frozen dumplings, frozen fish, frozen meat...

Who would have thought that such a cozy little home would be completely broken down overnight?

Thinking of the original owner's wish... Si Jin sighed.

[-]. Revenge!Let those who bullied her get retribution!

[-]. Take good care of your parents and, if you are able, help your two older brothers.

Si Jin said: So easy!

To her, this request was nothing more than a flick of her finger, but what she didn't understand was why the original owner didn't mention "clarifying the rumors"?

Do you think this is too difficult?

Think she can't do it?

Si Jin raised his lips and smiled. For a moment, all the wind and snow seemed to have stopped at this moment. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal, as if nothing happened just now.

She rubbed her face with her hands, adjusted her expression to a relaxed one, stomped on her feet in the snow and pushed open the door to enter the house.

This time she deliberately stayed outside the door for a few seconds. When she entered the house, Leng's mother had already wiped away her tears and came over with a smile to help her dust the snow off her body.

"Why are you back so early today? Mom hasn't cooked yet. Are you hungry, my dear? Mom will cook whatever you want for dinner."

Si Jin smiled and ordered without any politeness, "How about a saury steak with cabbage? And stir-fried dried tofu!"

As he spoke, he took off his hat, scarf, and handbags and hung them aside. He glanced at his mother's red and swollen eyes and pretended not to notice.

Since no one in her family wanted her to know, she just pretended not to know.

Once the rumor issue is resolved, they will have less to worry about.

Si Jin washed his hands and went into the kitchen to work with Leng's mother. One made the fire and the other stir-fried. The atmosphere was cheerful.

But Leng's mother's eyes were filled with lingering sadness. As a woman, she knew only too well the lethality of those rumors.

After a while, Leng's father also got off work. A thick layer of snow on Lei Feng's hat shook off to the ground, and he was scolded by Leng's mother.

"Why don't you clean yourself outside the door before entering the house? You can take a look at everything, and you can't take care of your feelings by yourself..."

Father Leng laughed and listened to the instruction, and kept apologizing.

"Be careful next time! Be careful next time!"

The door creaked again, but no one came in. After a while, laughter came from outside the door.

It must be that the two brothers are back, chatting while clearing the snow.

My sister-in-law took the baby back to her parents' house two days ago. Since her parents' house doesn't live close by, she will have to stay there for a while and will probably come back at the end of the month.

After being so busy, the family finally sat down and started to eat. A large bowl of hot rice, paired with two side dishes, made the family enjoy the meal.

Early the next morning, Si Jin came to the unit early and went to the director's office.

At this time, the director had just arrived and was holding a big tea vat, preparing to make himself a cup of tea to warm up.

Si Jin went straight to the point, "Director Lu, I need to take leave. I will ask my relatives to take over the shift later."

Director Lu was stunned. He was just thinking about how to mention this matter to Liang Sijin, but he didn't expect that she would speak first.

Since she is sensible, he is willing to give her some face. After all, they are all children who have grown up seeing each other since they were young. He doesn't know whether the outer clothing is genuine or not. At least in his eyes, Xiao Liang is not that bad.

However, there were too many people complaining, so he had no choice but to ask Xiaoliang to go back and rest for a while.

Maybe the rumors will be outdated after a while, and new topics will be circulated by then, and no one will say anything when she comes back to work.

He nodded gently and comforted Si Jin a few words, "It's okay to take some time off. Uncle Lu can see who you are. Don't pay attention to those talkative women. Those who are clean will clean themselves up."

Si Jin smiled lightly. She could understand Director Lu's approach. After all, the supply and marketing cooperative in Sunset Xishan couldn't bear a little trouble, and it was difficult for him to do it.

But she understands, she doesn't like people like Director Lu who always avoid problems when they arise, and her background and style make her look down on him.

We simply won’t have any more interactions in the future and just maintain a superficial relationship.

The adult world does not have to be black and white, not to mention that the Liang family will have to live in Spring City for a short period of time, and they will inevitably have to deal with Director Lu and others.

She said: "Thank you, Director Lu. If nothing happens, I will pack my things and go back first."

Si Jin left very casually, not even looking at his former colleagues before leaving.

The original owner may not have known the nature of the coworker relationship, but she knew it very well.

As a group of people in the same circle, it is difficult to become friends.

Even now in the 90s, treating colleagues as close friends is a very unrealistic idea.

Supply and marketing cooperatives are not very competitive, but people have many faces. Who knows what other people are hiding in their hearts?

Maybe it was just an unintentional sentence that made others think too much or even hold grudges. Who can say for sure...

The iron rice bowl in the 90s was still valuable, so Si Jin was prepared to make a fortune without any psychological burden.

Even though she knew very well that the supply and marketing cooperative would be disintegrated in 10 years, but so what?

It's nothing more than a personal choice.

After packing all his belongings and sending them home, Si Jin walked through several alleys and came to the gate of a private house.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Is Zhang Xiaoli at home?"

After waiting for a while, a fat woman turned to look at the door and was stunned for a moment when she saw Si Jin standing outside the door.

"Huh? It's you!" The fat woman said with a smile, "Why did you think of coming to see our Xiaoli? She's going on a blind date later, so I'm afraid I won't be able to play with you today."

Zhang Xiaoli was the junior high school classmate who initially rolled her eyes at the original owner. Unlike the original owner, she graduated from junior high school but did not enter high school. She has been at home without a job for the past two years.

Seeing that she is 18 years old this year, during the blind date, people looked down on her jobless status.

In fact, it is not difficult to find jobs outside now, but Zhang Xiaoli's family looks down on self-employed people, and they are even less willing to work for self-employed people they look down on.
