Early the next morning.
TRAIN STATION.
Director Li handed her the letter of introduction and train ticket, saying, "Everything that proves your identity is in the envelope. Keep it safe and don't lose it, or it will cause a lot of trouble."
Su Ying gratefully accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
The middle-aged woman stepped forward and reluctantly took Su Ying's hand, urging her, "Take good care of yourself while you're away from home. When you get to Dongshi, make sure you get along well with your distant relatives. That will make your life easier."
Su Ying was genuinely grateful to Director Li and his wife. Although the couple had a bad reputation, after getting to know them, she found them to be quite nice and to her liking, and they got along very well.
This time she left Shanghai, and she may never be able to return in her lifetime. Although Shanghai is a good city, it is also the place where she grew up.
But most of her memories are bad; her grandparents and mother are gone, and there's nowhere left for her to stay in Shanghai.
Director Li and his wife helped her, and she didn't want to owe them anything. She repaid their kindness on the spot, knowing what they liked most, and used those things to repay them.
From then on, they were even.
Last night, she spent a long time choosing a thank-you gift from her online space and handed the prepared package to the middle-aged woman.
"Auntie, this is a thank-you gift I prepared. Please accept it."
The middle-aged woman dared not accept it. The young girl had given them quite a few things a few days ago, and those gifts were already very generous. She couldn't accept other people's things; she knew her limits.
Director Li stood to the side, his hands itching to reach out and snatch the small package to see what new and interesting gift the little girl had given him.
Who could blame him when the little girl is so generous, always managing to give him gifts that touch his heart? This time, he was especially curious.
The middle-aged woman slapped away the restless hand and scolded, "Stop it. They gave us a lot of things last time. One shouldn't be too greedy."
After hearing this, Director Li had no choice but to give up.
After glaring at Director Li, the middle-aged woman turned to look at Su Ying with a gentle expression. "Young lady, you need money everywhere you go, and the journey to Dongshi is long. How can we accept your last bit of money to save your life? What do you take me for?"
"Although I love money and have a habit of taking advantage of others, a gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. This gift is absolutely unacceptable; please take it back."
The little girl had already given him enough last time, so he absolutely refused to accept this one and pushed back the thank-you gift that Su Ying had offered.
The small package returned to Su Ying's hands, and Su Ying looked at them with a helpless expression.
The couple was quite different from what had been rumored; they were rather endearing. The small package was then placed back into the middle-aged woman's hands.
"Please accept this. It's just a small token of my appreciation. We'll never see each other again after this trip, so please accept it so I can have peace of mind."
The middle-aged woman returned the money, saying, "I really can't accept this. Going to the countryside is very tough. I should save some of my savings to buy myself something nice to nourish myself."
The package returned to Su Ying's hands. Su Ying was speechless; she couldn't seem to get the gift out no matter what she did, and she was very distressed.
Su Ying placed the package directly into the middle-aged woman's hands. "It's nothing valuable. You two have helped me a lot this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go to Liushu Village in Dongshi to fulfill my wish."
Director Li waved his hand, "It's only right. It's only right. Accepting gifts and doing favors is an equal exchange; no one loses out, so there's no need to feel indebted to us."
Su Ying sighed, "I am really grateful for your help this time. I hope you will accept this small token of my gratitude, otherwise I will not feel at ease. It is really nothing valuable, please accept it as a token of my gratitude."
The couple looked at each other, realizing that since she had gone to such lengths, it would be ungrateful not to accept the small package from Su Ying.
Seeing that the package was small and contained nothing valuable, and given its light weight, the two accepted it without any hesitation.
"Thanks."
Su Ying smiled shyly, "I'm the one who should say thank you."
Seeing how well-mannered and polite the young girl was, Director Li thought to himself, "She truly is a well-bred young lady raised in a wealthy family."
"I have good news for you. The Xu family of three is also going to the countryside today. They will depart on the same train. Once you get on the connecting train, you will be separated, one going north and the other going south."
"If you don't want to see them, try to avoid them. You won't see each other when you transfer trains, understand?"
"They were sent to the most impoverished farm in Xinjiang to undergo re-education, to turn over a new leaf and start anew, and were sentenced to 25 years of labor reform."
Director Li spoke fluently, spitting everywhere. Su Ying listened patiently. Director Li rattled off a lot of things, but didn't mention the Jiang family at all. Could it be that the Jiang family had escaped a disaster and didn't have to go to labor camp?
Really?
Is this really that strange?
Jiang Yibo, a heartless man, should be punished more severely. It's too lenient to let it go like this.
It's unbelievable that they couldn't even make a ripple. Logically speaking, although the Jiang family's actions can't compare to the Xu family's, their crimes are still quite serious.
Su Ying suddenly felt a little uncomfortable; those who deserved retribution hadn't received it.
Jiang Yibo wasn't assigned to the Xinjiang City Farm, so how will he and Xu Manli live a loving life together from now on?
She's waiting to see what happens.
Important figures cannot live together; the plan to torment each other must not fail.
Xu Manli and Jiang Yibo were not assigned to be together and were tormenting each other. Su Ying was in a very bad mood and looked listless, without any energy.
Su Ying appeared uninterested, but this expression had a different meaning in the eyes of the couple.
