If Zhou Qinglan's previous request for Chen Liping to relay a message was a glimmer of light in the darkness, then Sheng Xiping's words were like illuminating the way forward for Chen Weimin, letting him know which path to take next.

"I used to hear people say that a single conversation with a wise man is worth more than ten years of study, but I never believed it."

"After hearing what you said today, I feel so much better now." Chen Weimin couldn't help but shed tears after hearing Sheng Xiping's words.

"Ever since I graduated from high school and stayed at home, I've been living in a daze, not knowing what someone like me can do or should do."

You know, I'm almost twenty, around eighteen or nineteen, and I'm still being supported by my parents. What's the point of my life?

Perhaps it was Sheng Xiping's words that gave Chen Weimin an outlet for his emotions, and Chen Weimin no longer cared about his image, crying uncontrollably.

"Brother, I'll listen to you. I'll discuss it with the family later and go to the police station first."

If the bureau doesn't work, I'll go to the province; if the province doesn't work, I'll go to the capital.

I refuse to believe it! The world is so vast, how can it not accommodate a disabled person like me?

Chen Weimin hastily wiped away his tears, then stood up and put on his hat.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, I'll head home now. When you have some free time, please come over to my house for a visit."

My mom always says that when our two families lived next door, we saw each other every day. Now that we live far apart and everyone's busy at home, it's been a long time since we've sat down together for a casual chat.

Chen Weimin was in a hurry to go back and discuss things with his family, so he didn't stay at the Sheng family's house for long. After exchanging a few polite words, he took his leave.

Sheng Xiping followed and saw Chen Weimin to the gate. Watching Chen Weimin hop away on one leg, he felt a pang of sadness.

With Chen Weimin's abilities, if he were in good health, who knows how much he might have achieved.

Unfortunately, an accident ruined the child's life.

Sheng Xiping didn't know if his words today would have any effect. Now, he could only wish Chen Weimin well and hope that he could achieve his wish soon.

After returning home, Chen Weimin discussed it with his family, and within two days, he packed his things and went to the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau to find the leaders to resolve his work issues.

However, Chen Weimin's situation was special. The farthest he had ever been since childhood was to study at Shuguang Forest Farm. He had never been to Songjiang River.

Chen Shiliang and Chen Weiguo weren't home, and the younger children were still in school. Xu Xiuxiang had no choice but to come to the Sheng family to inquire with Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan.

How do I get there after I get off the bus? Where is the bureau's headquarters building? Where do the bureau's leaders live? And so on.

"Auntie, you might not understand even if I say it this way."

"Well then, I happen to need to go down the mountain on some errands, I'll go with Xiaomin."

Sheng Xiping had accumulated quite a few things lately, such as lynx pelts, bear bile, and musk. He originally planned to wait until Zhou Qinglan had her vacation, then accompany her back to her parents' home for a few days and sell them along the way.

But given Chen Weimin's current condition, Sheng Xiping was genuinely worried about him going to the bureau alone, so he simply took leave to accompany him.

"Oh dear, what should we do? Xiping, don't you still have to go to work?"

Xu Xiuxiang was overjoyed to hear this, but then she thought that Sheng Xiping was at work and it wouldn't be good to delay his work.

"Auntie, it's alright. I just happen to be working the night shift this week. I'll tell them to have Lao San come over and cover for me for two nights."

Sheng Xiping works in the security department, and his shifts are usually two weeks of day shifts followed by one week of night shifts.

The security at Qianchuan Forest Farm has always been excellent; people on the night shift just sleep when they have nothing to do.

Given Sheng Xiping's relationship with Li Zhenggang, he could easily take a few days off without any problem.

Just as Sheng Xiping had expected, he went to Li Zhenggang to ask for leave. As soon as Li Zhenggang heard that Sheng Xiping was going to accompany Chen Weimin to the bureau, he immediately nodded in agreement without saying a word.

"Go do what you're supposed to do. Don't worry about things at home. And don't let your third son go out at night. Just swap shifts with someone else."

On December 2nd, Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin boarded a small train and headed straight for Songjiang River.

Winter is the busy season for logging and transportation. This little train not only serves as a passenger transport vehicle, but sometimes it also has to be responsible for transporting timber. It will go to any branch line and the locomotive will pull the original trolley from that branch line.

If there are any delays on the way, there's no fixed time. By the time the little train arrives at the Sen Lt Railway station, it's already around 3 PM.

After getting off the mini-train, Sheng Xiping carried his large basket on his back, helped Chen Weimin, and the two walked a short distance before settling into a hotel on Donglin Street.

This time, Sheng Xiping accompanied Chen Weimin down to handle some business. Chen Weimin needed to go to the bureau to find a leader to resolve a problem.

Under these circumstances, it was inappropriate for Sheng Xiping to take Chen Weimin to stay at the Zhou family's house.

Otherwise, if others find out, they might think that Zhou Mingyuan is secretly stirring up trouble and deliberately instigating others to cause trouble for the bureau leaders, which would be detrimental to Zhou Mingyuan.

Furthermore, Chen Weimin didn't want to bother the Zhou family. He felt that it would be inconvenient for him to stay at the Zhou family's place in his current situation, and he would be more comfortable staying at a hotel.

The two settled into the hotel and didn't go out to eat. They had brought their own dry food, so they just ate some hot water to tide them over.

After a couple of bites to stave off hunger, Sheng Xiping checked the time and told Chen Weimin to stay at the hotel while he went to visit his father-in-law.

This time, Sheng Xiping not only brought the mountain products he wanted to sell, but also brought wild boar meat, roe deer meat, pine nuts, mushrooms and other things for Zhou Mingyuan and Zhao Yongsheng's families.

The hotels there were all large communal sleeping areas, and with so many people, things could get messy. Sheng Xiping was worried that if he wasn't careful while sleeping at night, his things might be stolen again.
