The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated through the cracks in the wall and shone right into Liang Sumei's eyes. She blinked, trying to adapt to the sudden light, but the not-so-strong light still made her feel a little uncomfortable. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and realized that the day had finally dawned.

Liang Sumei took a deep breath, feeling the morning air, and an inexplicable excitement surged in her heart. She knew that today was an important day, and she was going to do great things and fight for freedom. Last night, she had a full meal and went to bed early. After a full night's rest, she now felt energetic and full of strength.

This was her first solid night after her rebirth, and she actually spent it in the cellar. She smiled helplessly. Although this place gave her temporary shelter, she sincerely hoped that from today on, she could lie on a warm kang or a comfortable bed and enjoy a truly free and solid life.

She listened to the noise outside, and was relieved when she heard no noise. She knocked on the back of the wooden cabinet and said, "Uncle, let me out." Then there was the sound of moving books, and the back was creaking down from the outside, revealing the outside world. She slowly crawled out and faced the old man. She felt a little guilty when she thought of the peanuts she had eaten yesterday and the peanut skins on the ground. It was obvious that the old man knew nothing about this. The old man asked worriedly, "If you go out now, they won't do anything to you, right? Seeing how aggressive they were yesterday, I'm afraid they are not easy to deal with!"

Liang Sumei was moved when she heard these words. A stranger actually cared about her safety more than her closest relatives. She looked at the old man with a gleam of gratitude in her eyes, patted her chest confidently and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I am truly free from today on!"

Seeing her confident, vigorous and energetic look, the old man could not help but show his admiration and encouraged her passionately: "Okay! Little girl, I support you! For freedom! For light! Bravely fight against the dark and evil forces to the end!"

"Come on!" Liang Sumei couldn't help but raise her fist and made a gesture of encouragement. Seeing this, the old man did the same without hesitation. The two of them looked at each other, and their faces were filled with firm and warm smiles.

"Uncle...Uncle, I'm really sorry. I accidentally ate your peanuts yesterday." After hesitating for a long time, Liang Sumei decided to confess to the uncle. Her tone was full of apology.

"Oh, it's just a few peanuts, it's okay." The old man was very generous and waved his hand casually.

"No...more than a few, maybe dozens..." Liang Sumei poked gently with her fingers while blinking her eyes, not daring to look directly at the old man's expression.

"What?" The old man looked incredulous and quickly went into the cellar to check. You know, he secretly planted these peanuts under the wall without telling anyone, and the number was not large to begin with.

"Uncle, I'm sorry. I promise to compensate you in the future!" While the uncle was going into the cellar, Liang Sumei hurriedly apologized, then turned around and ran away.

At this time, the old man was the only one left standing in the cellar, looking at the peanut shells all over the ground with a frown on his face.

Liang Sumei knew nothing about what happened outside last night, but with her keen intuition, she could guess that something must have happened. At the very least, the Jiang family would not let it go and would definitely cause trouble for the Liang family. Liang Sumei did not dare to pass through the main road of Tianwa Village, so she could only carefully choose to take a long detour through the mountains, because the loudspeaker in the village announced yesterday that she was missing, which was a big deal. If others saw her suddenly appear, it would probably cause an uproar.

She had no intention of going home. Her destination was the village head, where Du Zhiyu had told her she and the Revolutionary Committee had agreed to meet. Since this was an order from the director himself, Captain Li took this matter very seriously. He set out early with two policemen and headed for Tianwa Village.

Just as they were about to enter the village, Captain Li saw a girl not far ahead anxiously waiting for something. He had a hunch: this girl might be Liang Sumei, who was about to meet them! Sure enough, as they gradually approached, the girl waved to them and took the initiative to ask:

"Hello, are you Captain Li from the Revolutionary Committee? I am Liang Sumei." Liang Sumei introduced herself simply, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her eyes.

"Yes, hello, Comrade Liang." Captain Li responded and continued, "Comrade Liang, let's go to the brigade to park the car first, and then go directly to Li Haifeng's house to arrest him."

Liang Sumei nodded and had no doubts about going to Li Haifeng's house or Liang's house first. Instead, she felt that the Revolutionary Committee was experienced and it might be the right thing to do to catch the cunning Li Haifeng first.

At this time, there was only one clerk on duty in the brigade, and the other leaders of the village committee were not there. Captain Li could only show the clerk the letter of introduction and made a gesture to keep quiet, indicating him not to alert the enemy. The clerk had never seen such a scene before, and he nodded hurriedly, and his attention was all on the two motorcycles. Not to mention motorcycles, even bicycles were rare in Tianwa Village. He secretly decided that when Captain Li went to do business, he would secretly sit on a motorcycle to feel it.

Captain Li and Liang Sumei walked side by side in the village, and their figures attracted the attention of the villagers. The villagers originally thought that Liang Sumei was missing, but now they saw her and Captain Li together, which caused a commotion. The two police officers behind them made the villagers' speculations more diverse.

"Is that the one Liang Guangchuan's daughter brought? He looks quite impressive."

"Aren't you already engaged to Jiang Fu? Why are you bringing another man now?"

"Hey, look why there are two policemen behind us."

"Could it be that Liang Sumei and that guy were caught for being hooligans?"

"What do you know, old woman? If you get caught, you'll be handcuffed."

"Stop guessing, let's go and take a look."

People followed one after another from a distance.

At this moment, there was a noise coming from not far away. Everyone listened carefully and confirmed that the noisy sound came from the Liang family. They couldn't help but become curious and ran over to watch the fun.

"Captain Li, the noise over there seems to be coming from my house. Do you want to go over and take a look?" Liang Sumei suggested, secretly speculating in her heart that this must be Li Haifeng coming to the Liang family to cause trouble again.

"Sure!" Captain Li agreed readily.

So the four of them quickened their pace and hurried to the Liang family. As expected, what they saw was the fierce quarrel between Mrs. Liang and Li Haifeng, and Jiang Fu stood behind Li Haifeng, obviously to support his mother. Since being scared away by Liang Guangchuan's momentum yesterday, Jiang Fu seemed to have a little more resistance to coming to the Liang family.

When Jiang Fu saw Liang Sumei and the man beside her, a strange emotion surged in his heart. He poked his mother's back with his finger and said in a low voice: "Mom, look, is that Liang Sumei?!"

Li Haifeng turned her head and her eyes happened to fall on Liang Sumei. She saw Liang Sumei talking to the man, and the two seemed unusually close. A trace of dissatisfaction surged in her heart. "Oh, Mrs. Liang, you kept saying that your granddaughter was innocent before, but now you have brought your mistress home?" Li Haifeng sneered, her tone full of sarcasm.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liang felt very upset. But for the sake of flour and food coupons, she no longer cared about her face. She straightened her body and shouted at Li Haifeng without showing any weakness: "Humph! She is from your Jiang family! If she finds a strange man, it will be your Jiang family's shame, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Although Captain Li heard the harsh word "mistress", he did not explain it. He wanted to learn more about the truth of the matter from this quarrel and see if it was really as Liang Sumei said. Liang Sumei, who was standing beside him, was ashamed of Luo Jinqiu's slander and felt very guilty for the misunderstanding caused by Section Chief Li. However, when she saw that Section Chief Li was slow to act, she stood there calmly and did not think about it any more.
