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

Chapter 191 Sincere Offering of Money and Tickets

Her house is right next door, so it's very convenient for her to get there.

We stood outside for a long time. The adults and children were all wrapped up very tightly, and they didn't get cold, but they were a little tired.

"Sister-in-law Guihua, come on the kang (heated brick bed), I burned a lot of firewood this morning!"

Yang Leyu was very proactive and always felt sorry for this woman.

“Yang Zhiqing, there’s no need to go to so much trouble. I’ll just sit on the edge of the kang.”

She also felt it was inappropriate, fearing it would get dirty.

"It's alright, go upstairs, it's warm up there."

"Yes, Osmanthus, let's go up."

Director Wu also tried to persuade her, and she went upstairs feeling very embarrassed.

Yang Leyu's room wasn't very big, and it felt very crowded when too many people came in.

"Comrade Tian Guihua, if you have any requests for Zhang San's family, feel free to tell me."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Captain..."

……

The matter here also dragged on for quite a while before it finally came to an end.

Zhang San and his mother immediately closed the gate, preventing anyone from entering.

However, his front door wasn't in good condition either; it had been kicked twice and was now a bit loose.

Ji Shuyin returned home, feeling quite melancholic.

Although I had guessed it long ago, hearing it with my own ears was still a different feeling.

The coldness of human nature is so easily revealed.

She grew up in a loving family and had never experienced anything like this before.

However, the things that need to be done still cannot be neglected.

The corn inside the space is ready to eat; it's at its tenderest stage.

She didn't dare take it out; if someone saw it, it would be difficult to explain.

So let's just cook a whole pot of it in there.

The boiled corn was sweet and soft, with a rich flavor. I kept a few for myself and put the rest into a big bowl to eat later.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes can also be used, which is quite an impressive food.

Later, prepare more and send them to Xu Yunpei.

It's been a long time since I've been to the cowshed; I'm planning to go check it out tonight.

I prepared ten meat buns and a bag of potatoes. They are short of food and clothing in their area, so I guess they don't have much to eat.

She couldn't conveniently take out the other things either.

She went there secretly when night fell.

Previously, Jiang Shi'an had said that he should call him to come along next time.

But this person didn't come back today, and I don't know what he went to do.

She didn't dare to make a fuss. If a young educated youth didn't return home at night and didn't report to the brigade leader, it would be a very troublesome matter.

When she arrived at the cowshed, she called out softly a couple of times, and it was Teacher Yan who came to pick her up.

"Shuyin, why are you carrying so much stuff? Come in quickly."

As he spoke, he took the cloth bag from her hand.

The two of them quietly went into the inner room.

When we heard the noise, everyone got up and lit kerosene lamps.

Everyone who saw her was beaming with joy.

"Professor Li, you look much more energetic."

"Yes, I took your advice and cleaned up this house as well."

And we all benefited from those things too.

It wasn't explained very clearly, so even here, we have to be careful.

It is evident how much hardship they endured to make ends meet.

"I brought some meat buns today, you should eat them quickly, they're still warm."

As they spoke, they took out the items and gave two to each person.

"Oh dear, young friend, I've troubled you again."

"It's alright, you guys eat quickly."

In such cases, the evidence must be destroyed as quickly as possible.

The group understood the situation and didn't refuse further.

"I also brought a bag of potatoes, which I grew myself. You can throw them directly into the fire when you're heating the kang (a traditional heated bed).

There's not much to eat this time of year, so we'll have to make do.

Based on their previous lifestyle, they were at least comfortably well-off, if not living on lavish meals, and were particular about their food and drink. Now, even filling their stomachs has become a challenge.

"That's good enough, child, thank you."

To be honest, Ji Shuyin's act of offering help in a time of need was truly heartwarming.

"Yes, are you even good enough yourself?"

We old folks can still manage, so please don't give up your own rations!

"Don't worry, Professor Li, I have more at home!"
Besides, I can't eat much by myself.

Let's all hang in there. I believe these days will definitely pass.

"Ugh."

Several people remained silent; at some point, they had also offered themselves this advice.

But what awaited them was only endless suffering day after day.

"By the way, Shuyin, I have some things here that I can give to you."

As she spoke, she went to the blanket.

"I have it too."

The other two people also started looking for something.

Professor Li hid one inside the quilt, put the other one in the crack between the bricks, and put the other under the kang mat.

"Shuyin, this is what I hid. You can take it."

The noodles in his hand contained several ten-yuan bills and some receipts.

She was somewhat surprised and quickly refused.

"No, I can't accept it."

Professor Li, this is just some food, it's practically worthless, please don't do this.

"No, child, listen to me."

Our brigade leader here doesn't have that many responsibilities, but we're not allowed to go out either.

I don't need this money and tickets, so take them and buy whatever you need. It's just a small token of my appreciation.

"Yes, you can keep it."

"And these are mine too."

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuyin was somewhat moved.

I clearly came here with ulterior motives, but they actually gave me money and tickets.

"No, I don't want it, you can keep it yourselves."

These are your last resort, grab them now.

Teacher Yan, who had been watching from the side, finally spoke up.

"Shuyin, you can keep it."

Old Li and the others are right, we can't get out of here.

This money is pretty useless anyway.

Even if you come here to cut in line, you won't have a good life.

Let's buy something to make us feel better.

"That's right, you're a young girl, don't make yourself suffer too much."

It's truly remarkable that someone could maintain such a sincere heart under such circumstances.

"Alright, in that case, I'll accept it."

However, I don't need this money myself; I'll use it to buy supplies and send them to you later.

"You kid..."

"Professor Li, let's agree to this, otherwise I won't accept it."

The other person seemed a little embarrassed and nodded repeatedly.

"Sigh, I meant to give it to you, but it's ended up being a burden on you again, really..."

……

Ji Shuyin didn't want to linger, so she took advantage of the moonlight and hurried home.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw a dark figure, moving about, and I couldn't see it clearly.

"Jiang Shi'an?"

"It's me, Shuyin. You went over there."

"Ok!"

There's no way to hide this, and there's no need to.

"By the way, why are you only getting back now?"

"I've gone to the county seat. Tomorrow morning, you'll come with me to the town."

In town, Wei Hu?
