Ge Chunru rushed to the mine in five days without stopping.
She had been on the Northern Border for over ten years and knew the bitter cold here.
But when she saw the bare mine, groups of people in prison uniforms were working under the scorching sun.
Ge Chunru couldn’t help but feel sad. Her brother had never suffered since he was a child, but he was brought to such a place by Xiao Dalang and others to suffer.
Immediately, she let Xiao Yuanshi’s confidant find someone.
The confidant asked her to wait in the carriage and went to where the supervisor was.
There was a person arranged by Xiao Yuanshi here, and the confidant would contact this person.
After finding the person quickly, the person told the confidant about Ge Chunyi’s recent situation.
The confidant ordered: “Take your Madam to pick him up.”
The man didn’t care, anyway, he always knew that Ge Chunyi couldn’t stay for long.
However, he reminded his confidant: “There is news from Heyang County that if Ge Chunyi is to be exempted from labor service, he must go to the county government to revoke the documents issued before.”
“Otherwise, he will be treated as a fugitive.”
The confidant frowned: “You ask the supervisor to report this matter to the Madam later.”
If he goes to say it, Ge Chunru will be angry again.
Xiao Yuanshi’s subordinates and confidants now have a lot of complaints about Ge Chunru.
If the general can stay in the capital and keep getting promoted, they can also benefit from it.
Who knew that the reason they would return to the northern border was completely because of the beauty?
After talking to this person, the confidant returned to the carriage.
“Madam, the young master has not been working recently and has been assigned a single room. Are you going there now?”
When Ge Chunru heard what he said, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her brother living in a single room.
“Well, let’s go now.”
So the confidant drove the carriage to the place where he lived.
The rows of shacks in front are very simple, and several people live together.
Ge Chunru was even sadder when she saw these shabby shacks.
Before her brother lived in a single room, he lived in such a shabby place.
Walking to the back, there were a series of adobe houses.
These adobe houses were where ordinary supervisors and powerful and wealthy prisoners lived before being exiled.
The latter can only move in if they have enough money or someone above them asks them to do so, and their daily work will be replaced by easy work.
The carriage stopped at the door of a house.
Ge Chunru got off the carriage with the help of the maid, and when she saw the adobe house, she couldn’t help but show some disgust.
Even when their family was at their worst, the house they lived in was better than this one.
Seeing that the door was closed, she couldn’t help but frown: “Is Chunyi not here?”
The confidant just came back from the door and said: “There is someone in the room, but the door must have been closed on purpose.”
Ge Chunru looked at him inexplicably: “Then go knock on the door!”
The confidant had a bit of embarrassment on his face: “I’m afraid it’s a bit inconvenient now.”
Ge Chunru felt even more confused: “What’s inconvenient?”
She helped the maid and went over to knock on the door herself.
Who knew that as soon as she walked to the door, she heard some movement from inside?
Her face couldn’t help but blush, not because of shame, but because of anger.
Seeing her like this, the confidant lowered his head and despised her in his heart.
Sure enough, they came from a small family. The brother of their Madam did such a thing in broad daylight. He didn’t know what to say.
Ge Chunru’s face was ashen, and he stepped back a few steps and told the confidant: “Go knock on the door.”
The confidant then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
At first, there was no answer from inside, so he knocked again, and then Ge Chunyi’s impatient voice came: “Who?”
When Ge Chunru heard that it was her brother’s voice, the fire in her heart came out even more.
She said: “It’s me, open the door.”
There was no sound from inside, and then there was a rustling.
After a while, Ge Chunyi opened the door, wearing his inner clothes and a robe casually draped over his outer clothes.
His hair was also messy, and it was obvious that he opened the door in a hurry.
Seeing her brother like this, and his originally fair skin tanned and roughened, Ge Chunru was angry and heartbroken.
Thinking of the voice she just heard, her face couldn’t help but sink: “Chunyi, what are you doing?”
Ge Chunyi was happy to hear his sister’s voice just now, and he was finally leaving this hellhole.
Unexpectedly, his sister came to ask him about his current life without caring about him and turned her face away from him.
As Mrs. Niu said, this elder sister became arrogant after becoming the wife of the general and didn’t care about the life and death of her younger brother.
Especially when he accidentally learned the news, he was furious.
He curled his lips: “You heard it.”
He broke his leg and was accused of a crime by his brother-in-law and his nephew. There was no hope for him to climb up in the second half of his life.
So Ge Chunyi was now completely free.
He has suffered so much, he won’t just let it go.
Ge Chunru looked at him in disbelief: “Chunyi, how did you become like this?”
How did the originally elegant and polite younger brother become like a ruffian?
Ge Chunyi sneered: “Then what do you want me to become?”
“I am mining here, I don’t have enough food and warm clothes every day, and I am often beaten by the supervisor.”
“If someone hadn’t secretly taken care of me and left food for me, I would have starved to death.”
When he mentioned this, he couldn’t help but resent this elder sister.
On the surface, they kept saying that it was for his own, and then they sent him to the northern border.
But he didn’t have many peaceful days, let alone the chance to show his performance and make merit, and was thrown here to mine.
Before, he thought that Xiao Dalang was deliberately doing it to him.
Later, he found out that it was his brother-in-law who was also involved.
Hearing this, Ge Chunru felt sad and distressed and didn’t care to blame him for his bad attitude.
After all, her brother was raised by her carefully since he was a child and suffered so much, that was normal for him to complain.
“Is the person inside Mrs. Niu?” She felt that her brother became so ruffian because Mrs. Niu taught him badly.
As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged woman with a flushed face walked out from inside.
Mrs. Niu looked at Ge Chunru with a smile on her face and spoke first: “Sister-in-law.”
Ge Chunru: “……”
This old woman was shameless.
She was so angry: “What are you yelling about? Who is your sister-in-law?”
Mrs. Niu smiled indifferently and held Ge Chunyi’s arm: “I am Ayi’s wife, you are his sister, so I will naturally call you sister-in-law.”
Ge Chunru was so angry that she fell backward: “I don’t agree with your affairs, you want to be my sister-in-law, what a beautiful dream.”
This old woman was so shameless, not only did she teach her brother bad things, but she also seduced his brother in broad daylight without any shame.
Mrs. Niu was originally a shameless person. After being thrown here by Hugh, she now has a similar mentality to Ge Chunyi and doesn’t care at all.
“Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Ayi and I have already married, and we are husband and wife. How can you not admit it?”
Then she pouted: “General’s wife, you don’t know any etiquette.”
