Chapter 21 The dust has settled, and everyone has their own fate.



For the next few days, Jiang Si didn't go anywhere; she just stayed home packing things.

Because my third uncle would secretly bring back a little something every day, sometimes a box of gold, sometimes a box of antiques and calligraphy.

During this time, people from the Public Security Bureau and the Educated Youth Office also brought Jiang Si two pieces of news.

Lin Yueru has been sentenced to be sent to a farm in the border region for 15 years of labor reform due to the huge amount of money involved in her case and the negative social impact.

However, it's very likely that the things the Jiang family lost won't be recovered anytime soon.

Because no matter how hard the police investigated, they were unable to find the "other group of people" mentioned by Lin Baozhu and others.

However, Deputy Director Li stated that they would monitor the situation closely and would notify Jiang Si as soon as they had any news.

After Shen Qingqing and her brother Shen Qingyue were released from the police station, they were picked up by people from the educated youth office.

Whether they wanted to or not, and regardless of who signed them up.

At this moment, they had already boarded the special train for educated youth bound for Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province.

Because Shen Qing'an was too young to meet the requirements for being sent to the countryside, and Jiang Si refused to accept him, the police station had no choice but to temporarily send him to the Lin family.

However, because Lin Baozhu was sentenced to seven years, the Lin family hated Lin Yueru and naturally didn't care about his son.

I heard that on the same day Shen Qing'an was sent there, they took him to the Shanghai Municipal Welfare Institute.

As for Shen Xiuwen, he is still being held by the Red Committee, and nobody knows when he will be released.

Of course, Jiang Si was also involved in this.

A heartless person like him deserves to die; it's too good for him.

He deserves to live a life worse than death!

So after writing the letter of complaint, Jiang Si immediately had her third uncle release the news to the public.

She wanted to see if those people would still be willing to let him go after they found out that all of the Jiang family's assets were in Shen Xiuwen's hands.

As it turned out, Jiang Si was not disappointed.

With the matter settled, it was time for Jiang Si to depart.

Jiang Si got up just as dawn was breaking.

She had packed her things a few days ago. Apart from a suitcase, she only brought a handbag with some toiletries inside.

If you're missing anything, just use this as a shield and take it from your inventory.

She chose a set of clothes in a rather old-fashioned color, including a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, along with cloth shoes with multi-layered soles. Her hair was styled in the most common braids of that era.

Ever since she transmigrated into the book, Jiang Si couldn't help but sigh every time she braided her hair.

People these days have such thick hair!

That one braid alone is equivalent to all the hair she had in all her future lives! No wonder thinning is one of the most common services in hair salons these days!

After braiding her hair, Jiang Si found a box of dark-colored foundation on the dressing table in the space.

Her skin is too fair; she needs some covering up.

After all, it's my first time traveling so far, so it's best to keep a low profile.

In addition, Jiang Si also prepared a bed sheet and a blanket.

People were coming and going on the train, and I didn't know if the bedding had been changed in time.

She has allergies, so it's more convenient for her to bring it along.

After tidying up, Jiang Si went downstairs.

She got up early, but to her surprise, her third uncle and Uncle Zhong got up even earlier. Right now, the two of them were busy in the living room taking stock of the things they were going to bring for her later.

There are many people on the train, and hot water may not be available.

Yesterday afternoon, my third uncle specially went to buy her a military water bottle, which she filled up and didn't need to refill it for the whole day.

I washed a few apples and pears, and also prepared Jiang Si's favorite butterfly cookies.

This is only available in Shanghai; you can't buy it anywhere else, so I brought her a few extra.

In case she gets carsick, I packed a box of motion sickness medicine for her separately.

Knowing that Jiang Si liked pan-fried pork buns, Uncle Zhong went to the state-run restaurant before dawn to queue up and buy a basket.

There will be a restaurant on the train, located between the hard sleeper and soft sleeper carriages.

The food inside is a bit more expensive than outside, but it doesn't require tickets, so they didn't prepare much.

Uncle San packed all these things into a canvas bag. "I've packed a few boiled eggs in your lunchbox. If you get hungry, have a bite to eat."

"Take another look, is there anything else missing?"

Before Jiang Si could even open her mouth, Third Uncle suddenly slapped his forehead.

"I almost forgot! Ah Zhong, hurry up and go to my room and get those boxes of luncheon meat and canned peaches."

"Third Uncle, we won't take those. The canning jars are too heavy and they're easy to break."

If she weren't afraid of being suspected of being a spy, Jiang Si would have even stuffed her suitcase into the space.

"Then bring the luncheon meat with you, it's in a metal container."

Unfortunately, Qiongzhou Island is a good place, but the supply of goods is insufficient, and many things are unavailable.

Especially for special products like luncheon meat, it's not easy to buy even on the black market.

Jiang Si said helplessly, "This thing isn't heavy, but it's hard to open."

"Third Uncle, I won't bring any luncheon meat."

"You're not allowed to send me any more. Keep these for yourselves, you guys..."

It had been a long time since Jiang Si had called this person by name, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it. She paused for several seconds before speaking.

"Huo Tingzhou, he is the commander of the flight squadron after all, so he certainly won't skimp on my food and drink."

Jiang Si didn't mean to deceive her third uncle when she said this.

You have to understand, pilots were incredibly sought-after in those days!

A regimental-level officer like Huo Tingzhou receives a basic monthly salary of 141 yuan.
