She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 183 Asking Director Wu for Help
Looking around, there were dozens of these large boxes.

Any one item inside would be enough for an ordinary family to live on for a lifetime.

There are indeed some honest and dedicated people, but if the temptation is strong enough, how many people can maintain their original aspirations?

Last time she was at home, she ran into two people. Could it be that someone sent them there for the sake of the family's enormous wealth?

I suddenly thought of Wang Chuanfu. He has been in a high position for quite some time, so it wouldn't be surprising if he knew about some rumors.

The main problem is that my parents' daily behavior is too unusual, even though they try their best to restrain themselves.

But the inherent nobility, the calm and collected personality, and the mannerisms in which they are expressed cannot be changed.

Therefore, the fact that my parents were taken away was not accidental; it was probably premeditated.

And the root cause is very likely these very things right in front of us.

If she could meet Wang Chuanfu, perhaps she would have a new idea; who knows?

No, she had to find a way to go back to Suzhou. Even if the outcome was uncertain, this matter had to be put on the agenda.

However, the educated youth office has a rule that one must work in the countryside for a full year before being allowed to go home to visit relatives.

She'll definitely be here before she's ready.

I can only try to find a reason that they can't refuse. It's a tough situation!

However, having a breakthrough is a good thing.

The next day, Ji Shuyin was also busy and went to the women's director's house.

"Director Wu, are you home?"

The other person was carrying a charcoal basin and was emptying ash from it.

I was quite surprised to see it was her.

"Ji Zhiqing, you seem to have a lot of free time today. Come on in."

"Hey, good."

She's the type who only shows up when she needs something; she basically doesn't interact much with the people in the village.

Upon arriving at the main room, Director Wu was quite hospitable and served her hot tea.

"What a rare guest! You should come out and move around more often."

Our team members and the educated youth are essentially one family.

"Yes, Director, our production team takes good care of us, and I like it here very much."

That's the truth. Compared to the Shanquangou production team in my dream, it's so much better.

"You came here today, is it still about Comrade Tian Guihua?"

Um, I misunderstood.

Yes, she didn't have any other contact with the people here.

It was only in the last couple of days, because of Tian Guihua's situation, that everyone got together.

"Director, no, I have something I need your help with today."

Surprisingly, that wasn't the case; even the women's director was quite curious.

"What's wrong? Tell me."

"That's right, it's getting cold, and I didn't bring many warm clothes with me."

I see everyone wearing thick cotton-padded coats and trousers, and it looks pretty good.

"I'm not very good at sewing, so I was thinking you could help me find someone to make a few more outfits."

She didn't make it very clear, but anyone who can become a leader is probably not stupid; they certainly don't just want what's theirs.

"This is no big deal. Everyone's free, so helping out is no problem."

"Actually, Leyu originally found Sister Guihua to help us, but this happened."

Once you explain the cause and effect, that's about it.

"I see. Then we really should find someone."

The osmanthus flowers won't be here for very long after they're back.

She still needs to complete her postpartum confinement period, which will take at least a month. Time waits for no one…

"Yes, so I thought, if I can do it, I will."

I'm not very familiar with the aunties and grandmas in the team, so I'd like to ask you to help me introduce one to someone.

Of course, I won't use it for nothing.

This can't be said too explicitly. She's the women's director, a leader in the team; saying too much might cause her to make a mistake!
Director Wu wasn't stupid; he immediately started making light of the situation.

“We’re all from the same production team, so helping each other out isn’t a problem. My sister-in-law is just staying at home doing nothing.”

If you trust her, I'll have her make it for you. You can rest assured of her skills; she's one of the best.

Right? It's definitely true that we shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders.

"That's great! Your recommendation must be excellent."

Besides, I don't have many requirements; as long as it's wearable, it's fine.

This also demonstrated that he was easy to talk to.

"Okay, it's settled then. Her house is right next to ours."

"Just bring it over whenever you buy it."

"Okay, thank you so much."

"Then I'll be going now, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Okay, come by often, kid."

The women's director was quite happy to see them off at the gate.

Ji Shuyin has accomplished a great deal, giving her a sister-in-law, and she can help with that herself.

The final reward will definitely be shared among everyone.

However, this has nothing to do with her.

There's no need to buy the materials separately; there's enough in the space. She plans to take them over first thing tomorrow morning. If she does it too quickly, it might arouse suspicion.

I need to go to Yang Leyu's house to tell her about this.

Before, when Sister Guihua couldn't continue working, she said she would find someone else, but she kept getting busy and things got delayed.

Now that I've found someone, I need to let her know.

Perfect timing! She's home too, tidying up the house!
"Shuyin, you're here! Come and sit down!"

"Okay, don't be so polite, let me help you with something."

Upon hearing this, she put the rag aside and washed her hands.

"No need, it's all done."

I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a chance to tidy up the house.

That's the problem with these mud-brick houses; they produce too much dust.

Indeed, it's the same in my own home.

"Luckily, our house is small, so it can be tidied up a bit."

However, it also has its advantages; it's warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very pleasant.

"That's right, come over and warm yourself by the fire pit. I picked some hawthorns earlier, I'll roast a few for you to eat."

"Okay, by the way, I have something to tell you."

I had Director Wu's sister-in-law make me that cotton-padded coat. Sister-in-law Guihua is back, and I doubt she'll be able to pick up a needle and thread anytime soon.

Upon hearing this, Yang Leyu also sighed.

"Yeah, we don't know what will happen."

Now that we've found it, take your cotton and cloth back. If possible, make some for the rest of us too.

Well, if we do them all at once, it definitely won't be that fast.

"Leyu, you know my parents live on the frontier. I was thinking of making some for them and sending them over. I estimate it will take quite a while."

"I see. Okay, then I'll ask the others."

The main problem is that it's too cold, and the time has been too long; people can't stand the cold.

"Yes, you still have to keep this a secret for me."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't go around saying anything."

The two exchanged a smile, which served as a kind of guarantee.

"Bang bang bang..."

The two were still inside when they heard a loud commotion.

"What's going on? It seems to be Old Zhang's house next door..."
