Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Congcong, hurry up, your family has been reported."

Yu Congcong and Fu Rubao had just returned to the village, and Xixi was waiting at the entrance of the village with a six-month-pregnant belly. When she saw Yu Congcong, she ran towards her and said hurriedly.

When Yu Congcong saw Xixi running towards her with her big belly, she was so scared that she quickly stepped forward to support her. "Xixi, speak slowly, don't be anxious."

"Hoo, hoo, Congcong, go home quickly. Your house has been reported. Your house has been vandalized."

"When did it happen? How are my grandma and Aunt Liu? Are they okay?"

"Around ten o'clock this morning, a group of Red Guards came to the village. They went straight to your house and said that you were hiding a banned book with counter-revolutionary speech."

"Ah! Are those people still there?"

"Still, still searching."

"My father and the village cadres went to your house. My father asked the factory security team to follow them. He was afraid that they would frame you. He didn't know who was behind this."

"Well, thank you, Uncle Gangzi, for being thoughtful. As long as we are on guard against their framing, my family has not violated any rules."

"That's good. They want to frame me, but they won't succeed."

"Hmm." Yu Congcong pondered, who would report him? Could it be Tiezhu, who controls the plot, who did it?

"Host, it shouldn't be!"

"Box, what do you think is going on?"

"Host, have you forgotten that there is a person named Liu Hong in the village?"

"You mean she did it."

"Well, according to data analysis, Sawada Sakura has been arrested. She should now increase her efforts to disrupt the peace in the village. You are the director of the soy sauce factory, and the soy sauce factory is an important source of income for the village. She will definitely target you first."

"Well, that makes sense."

"Sister Rubao, please help Sister Xixi. I'll go back and take a look first."

"Okay." Fu Rubao walked to the other side of Xixi and reached out to support Xixi.

After seeing Fu Rubao being helped, Yu Congcong let go and rushed home.

Yu Congcong ran all the way home, only to see the yard in a mess, books scattered all over the floor, and furniture turned over in pieces. Her grandmother and Aunt Liu stood in the corner, their faces pale, their eyes full of fear and helplessness.

A surge of anger surged in Yu Congcong's heart. She glared at the Red Guards and shouted, "Why did you smash my house?"

A Red Guard said nonchalantly: "We have received a report that your family has hidden banned books with counter-revolutionary speech."

"Where are the banned books with counter-revolutionary speech?"

A leader among the Red Guards sneered, "Humph, we'll know if there is any after we search."

Yu Congcong was not afraid at all and stood up straight: "You said someone reported it, so someone reported it. Show me the proof."

The Red Guards walked towards the lush greenery.

The factory’s security team immediately protected Yu Congcong.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't you want proof?" Bing Hongwei said as he took the lead, taking out a piece of paper from his chest pocket and handing it to Yu Congcong.

At this time, the villagers who were watching also started talking, some looked worried, while others were indignant.

"Someone actually reported Director Yu. Who is so wicked?"

Yu Congcong was not in a hurry. He went over and took a look.

Contents of the letter:

Report

In Lihua Village, a new factory manager has many books hidden in his home.

After reading the content, Yu Congcong was so angry that she laughed. Just one sentence destroyed her house like this.

Yu Congcong threw the letter to the leader of the Red Guards and asked, "Where in the letter does it say that my family has banned books?"

When the Red Guards saw this, they all rushed to watch. After watching it, everyone began to feel guilty, but still pretended to remain calm.

Yu Congcong took a quick look and came up with an idea. She pointed at the books on the ground and said, "These are all ordinary books in my house. If you don't believe me, you can check them out. But you have to pay for the things you broke!"

The Red Guards looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Yu Congcong took the opportunity to say, "If you don't leave, I will report you to the higher authorities!"

Now, the Red Guards were completely panicked. They hurriedly packed up and left in shame.

Seeing them leave, Yu Congcong breathed a sigh of relief. Grandma and Aunt Liu came over and hugged her tightly, their eyes full of heartache and relief.

They are so useless that they can't even protect their own home.

The villagers who were watching also applauded, "The factory director is really capable. There are so many of us and we couldn't do anything to them. The factory director solved the problem as soon as he came back."

Yu Congcong replied with a smile, "Thank you for the compliments. My family has always been law-abiding, so we are not afraid! But I really want to thank you all today. I, Yu Congcong, would like to bow to you all to express my gratitude!"

Yu Congcong bent down and bowed to everyone.

"Director Yu, you are too polite. We can't help you much."

"Yeah, yeah. We weren't really any help."

"I, Yu Congcong, will be very grateful for everyone's kindness."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. We are all from the same village. No one will sit idly by and watch this unprovoked disaster happen to us."

"Okay, it's time to get to work. Let's all go!" The team leader looked at the people pushing and shoving each other, not knowing when the conversation would end, so he interrupted everyone.

After hearing the captain's words, everyone dispersed, leaving only a few village cadres.

Yu Congcong bowed to the village cadres again and said, "Thank you! Thank you all for standing up."

"Congcong, what are you doing? We didn't help at all, and we caused your house to be smashed like this, ah." The captain was a little sad, and he didn't know what was wrong with this society. The revolution was finally victorious, but we still encountered such an unspeakable thing.

Yu Congcong wanted to say something, but the captain waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to say any more.

"Okay, we're leaving too. You guys can pack up yourselves." After saying that, the team leader led several village cadres away.

Yu Congcong, Grandma and Aunt Liu looked at the messy scene and cleaned up with helpless sighs.

After Fu Rubao sent Xixi home, he rushed over to Yu Congcong.

When she arrived, everyone had already left. She saw Yu Congcong and the other two wiping their tears and packing up. She said nothing and joined in silently.

At noon, the few of them were not in the mood to cook. Fu Rubao thought about going home to make something and bringing it over. When he arrived at the gate, he ran into Xixi carrying a basket.

"Rubao, please help me, I can't carry it anymore."

"Sister-in-law Xixi, why are you carrying such a heavy thing? Where is my brother Wenzi?" Fu Rubao said angrily.

Xixi replied: "He went to the kiln factory in the next village and hasn't come back yet!"

Fu Rubao hurried forward and took the basket from Xixi's hand. He felt it was heavy and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law Xixi, what is this? It's so heavy."

"Nothing, just a clay pot. I thought that Grandma Xiaocao and the others were old and frightened, so I used the pheasant that Wenzi prepared for me to make soup to calm them down."

After listening to this, Fu Rubao said nothing and helped to carry it inside.

Yu Congcong and the other two were quietly cleaning up the mess, their hearts filled with helplessness and sadness. Suddenly, Fu Rubao and Xixi came in, with Fu Rubao carrying a heavy basket in his hands.
