The secret conversation lasted no more than an hour and a half. When Zhang Hong and Lu Baoguo left Su's house together, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

The two of them rode their bicycles one after the other out of the family compound and did not stop until they were far away from Beijing University.

After the two men set up their bicycles, they took out cigarettes, lit them and started smoking. Both of them frowned, and their hearts were heavy at the moment.

"Old Zhang, I'll exchange some more food coupons and meat coupons these two days. If Xiaoru and his family really want to be released, they need to find connections now."

"I'll also exchange some malted milk and White Rabbit candy to see if I can ask someone I trust to deliver them to Xiaoru and the others, and prepare some more clothes, quilts, shoes, and so on."

"No wonder you took so many things today. Hurry up and use your connections to prevent Xiaoru and the others from going to the farm."

"Okay, let's split up."

"By the way, I'm going on a business trip to Yangcheng in a few days, and I probably won't be back for a week."

"If you go on a business trip at this time, I, Xiaoru, will be missing a helper."

"I have to go. I can postpone my departure for a day at most. The matter over there is very important and I can't replace anyone to go."

Lu Baoguo really didn't expect that something like this would happen when he was about to go on a business trip, but fortunately, they knew about it and made preparations in advance, and would definitely not let anything unexpected happen to the Su family.

"I'm most worried about Dabao, Xiaobao, and Huazhu."

"If it doesn't work, Dabao, Xiaobao, and Huazhu can come to my house and I will take care of them."

"Old Lu, I think so too."

"Okay, let's go to Huaiyuan in a couple of days and talk to Xiaoru and the others."

"Okay, let's first settle Huazhu as Xiaoru said, and then we'll find out who reported it and what actions they'll take next."

…

The two talked for less than half an hour before riding their bikes back home separately in the dark.

"Mom, has our family really been reported?!"

Su Ze didn't come to his senses until now. He looked at his parents with great worry. He couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Xiaoze, don't panic or be afraid. I, your father, have already thought of a solution and have made all the preparations. Even if something happens to us, we will not let Dabao and Xiaobao get hurt. They think your sister is the lifeblood of our family."

Fortunately, there is the Qiao family's ink bracelet space, otherwise, Qiao Jiuru would not be so calm now and would not be so confident to say such words.

At this moment, Su Huaiyuan was thinking the same thing in his heart, and the couple also had a tacit understanding. They didn't need to say it out loud, they could tell what the other was thinking just by looking at each other.

"Big Boss, I and your mother know what's going on, so just listen to us. Tomorrow, go and take out all the money that Wanwan saved, and then pack some things for the Zhou family in the next two days and send some to them first. From now on, sending things to the Zhou family will be left to your Uncle Zhang and Uncle Lu to help."

Su Huaiyuan patted his eldest son's shoulder with an extremely calm tone, and he looked as unhurried as before.

"Mom and Dad, we listen to you."

His parents might not love him the most, but they definitely love their two sons very much. His younger brothers and sisters now have to rank behind his two sons. Su Ze was infected by his parents' calmness and felt relieved immediately.

"Okay, let's not tell Wanwan about this in advance. The more people know, the easier it will be for them to find out that we've been reported. These people haven't taken action immediately, they're just waiting for the right opportunity, we have to take this opportunity to make arrangements quickly."

Whether or not to tell their daughter-in-law about this, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan finally decided that it would be better not to tell her for the time being, as they were worried that Zhou Wanwan would not be able to keep the truth secret. The key point was that they were not fully prepared yet.

Su Ze nodded to show that he understood. The parents’ decision was right. Time was running out, and they should send as many children away as possible.

Zhou Wanwan, who was playing with her two children in the living room outside, had no idea what was about to happen at home, and she didn't think much about it. The children, work, and family basically occupied all her attention, so she didn't notice that there was something wrong with her husband.

It was a little before three or four in the morning when Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan got up quietly and went out.

The couple went straight to the black market without saying a word. They had been secretly listening in the past two days and roughly knew where the black markets were.

The first black market they went to was the closest to Peking University, located in an alley. Qiao Jiuru had also been to this black market once.

Although it was just four o'clock, there were already people in the black market, but there were more sellers than buyers.

Qiao Jiuru had a clear goal, so he directly bought five kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, three eggs, and a big fat chicken.

Su Huaiyuan was arranged to buy food coupons, meat coupons, sugar coupons, and industrial coupons. If he had money, he could have bought several kilograms of food coupons, several kilograms of meat coupons, and five industrial coupons at high prices. Other coupons were easier to buy.

After buying all the supplies, the couple left without any reluctance. After walking on a deserted road, Qiao Jiuru put all the things into the space.

Afterwards, the couple went straight to a black market and did the same shopping spree again.

The couple seemed to be running against time. They moved to the third black market while stuffing energy-replenishing pills into their mouths. These energy-replenishing pills were taken from the space in the ink bracelet.

When they arrived at the third black market, it was past six o'clock and the sky was just beginning to daybreak. Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan were both wearing thick cotton-padded coats, hats and headscarves, revealing their eyes and noses.

Like the previous two black markets, the couple didn’t dare to buy more. In addition to rice, flour, and eggs, I continued to purchase various bills and also bought a pound of pork with more lean meat and less fat.

Just like before, I put all the things into the space in a deserted place.

Then, the couple rode their bikes back to the family compound immediately, as Su Huaiyuan still had to go back to school for classes.

However, halfway through the journey, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan still bought meat buns and steamed buns at the state-owned restaurant. Let Su Huaiyuan go directly to class after eating, and she will go home to take care of her grandson.
