Reborn in the 1970s

Lu Yan's words were all what Chen Pan wanted to say. The words were not pleasant to hear, and if Chen Pan said it himself, everyone would definitely want to refute it. But Lu Yan spoke for Chen Pan, and everyone looked at Chen Pan's miserable state and listened to his words in an instant.

Looking back on the past, the people of Houling Village found that at the beginning, they really didn't want to do anything to the Chen family, nor did they want to make things difficult for the Chen family. It was indeed under the leadership of Wang Dabao that they became more and more disgusted with the Chen family, and gradually regarded bullying and ostracizing the Chen family as a task to be completed.

Wang Dabao portrayed the Chen family as class enemies, so they cursed the Chen family every day to show their loyalty to the motherland.

Before Lu Yan pointed it out, they didn't think there was a problem. Now that Lu Yan had said it all, everyone finally felt ashamed.

Lu Jiabao, who had finally rushed back by bike, heard Lu Yan's words, and the hot sweat on his head began to cool down out of shame.

As a good friend of Wang Dabao, he certainly knew what Wang Dabao did to Chen Pan. When Wang Dabao scolded the Chen family, he didn't go with him because of Lu Youcai, but he scolded them in his heart.

If the Chen family was innocent, then weren't all the things he did before wrong?

Lu Jiabao looked at the wolfish and stubborn Chen Pan, and suddenly blurted out: "I'm sorry."

After Lu Jiabao said sorry, he felt much better. On the way back by bike, he was very tormented.

At first, Lu Jiabao was worried about Wang Dabao and the villagers. Later, his mind was full of police cars and Chen Pan who was dying in the police car.

Chen Pan was a living being. They lived in the same village for nearly a year, and they saw each other every day. If Chen Pan was killed by Wang Dabao because of their indifference and prejudice, Lu Jiabao would never be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life, regardless of whether Chen Pan could get justice.

"I'm sorry, Chen Pan. I was too narrow-minded before. I thought all landlords were the same, all evil exploiters, so when Wang Dabao scolded you, I didn't think there was anything wrong."

"But on the way back just now, I suddenly remembered that during the famine in 1959, I survived by eating the relief food your family sent to the village."

"Not only me, but everyone in our village has eaten the relief food your family sent to the village. We should have been grateful, but we forgot our roots...I'm sorry, Chen Pan."

"Because we are jealous that you live an easier life than us, because your family seems to live better than us, so we hate you and put All the bad things the capitalists have done are blamed on your family...then they forget your good deeds and feel at ease to attack you..."

"I'm really sorry, Chen Pan. Uncle Chen and you are both good people. We are too stupid and foolish to distinguish right from wrong. We believed Wang Dabao's nonsense and bullied honest people."

"If my brother hadn't saved you today, you would have died. I'm still scared when I think about it now. I didn't expect prejudice to hurt people. We really just wanted to reform the landlords, not kill people."

When Lu Jiabao said this, he touched his face vigorously. Chen Pan glanced over and found that Lu Jiabao was already crying quietly.

The young boy was thin-skinned and had a heavy sense of shame. Knowing that he almost became an accomplice of a murderer was really a burden that his life could not bear.
