Shen Lin passed his university entrance exams, but he intended to abandon his wife and daughter, taking all the family's money with him as he tried to flee in secret. However, his father-in-law, Xu Qiang, caught him at the train station with a group of men.
Shen Lin was dragged back, and in a fit of rage, Xu Qiang broke one of his legs. That face, which had remained handsome even after years in the countryside, was left covered in bloody scratches by Xu Jiaojiao, who had also used a shard of porcelain to slash his skin; his handsome features were left permanently disfigured. To punish him, Xu Jiaojiao locked him in a room for three days without a drop of water or a bite of food, and no one lifted a finger to treat his leg or his facial wounds.
As for Shen Lin’s university admission notice, his brother-in-law, Xu Hongwu, took it to register at the school in his place. It wasn't long before someone reported them; Xu Hongwu was expelled from the university and subsequently arrested by the public security officers. In the end, Xu Hongwu was fined three hundred yuan and forced to return to the Great Northwest farm, dragging his luggage back in disgrace. The fact that he had tried to take Shen Lin’s place at university became common knowledge throughout the farm.
