Chapter 344 A friend in need is a friend indeed

Yuanhua County, Heilongjiang Province.

After finishing her phone call, Su Nuannuan went home.

At this moment, Chu Mingzhou had already prepared the meal.

Upon seeing Su Nuannuan return, Chu Mingzhou asked.

"How are things going?"

Su Nuannuan gave Chu Mingzhou a big smile and said.

"Uncle Su said he would help. However, I think we should give him a push."

Before things are settled, Su Nuannuan can't guarantee what changes might occur. Therefore, she still wants to make some more efforts within the limited time available.

Chu Mingzhou handed the bowl and chopsticks to Su Nuannuan and said gently.

"Don't worry about it. I'll always be with you."

Chu Mingzhou will not interfere with what Su Nuannuan wants to do. As long as Su Nuannuan is willing, he will silently support her from behind.

Even if something happens, he will protect her.

Once again moved by Chu Mingzhou's sincerity and trust, Su Nuannuan's eyes welled up with tears.

In both her past and present lives, she felt she would never find someone as trusting and tolerant of her as Chu Mingzhou.

After dinner, Su Nuannuan told Chu Mingzhou about her plan.

Her plan was simple and brutal: smash the ginseng!
Anyway, she had an abundance of ginseng. Exchanging it for favors wouldn't be a bad deal for her.

Su Nuannuan wanted to send the two ginseng roots she had promised to donate to the Central Theater Command ahead of schedule. Then, she planned to send one ginseng root to Shen Garden as well, to help her manage the household finances.

Finally, there was Su Lianhe, who had been a great help this time. Su Nuannuan planned to send him a jar of processed ginseng slices.

After listening to Su Nuannuan's plan, Chu Mingzhou felt it was a bit simplistic and crude, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was feasible.

Century-old ginseng is a rare tonic in any era.

To obtain one requires not only money but also a great deal of luck.

With Su Nuannuan giving away so much, there's bound to be someone who's tempted.

Su Nuannuan acted quickly, sending out the packaged ginseng products the very next day.

In the following days, Su Nuannuan waited patiently for news from Beijing.

Beijing.

In the middle of the night, after putting her younger siblings to sleep, A-Qiu picked up a package and quietly went out.

She wandered through several alleyways and stopped at the window of a house.

He reached out and knocked twice on the glass window, and then with a creak, the window opened a crack.

A-Qiu passed the package she brought through the window. Then, she took out a letter and stuffed it in as well.

After putting everything inside, A-Qiu spoke softly.

"I am leaving."

Without listening to any movement inside, A-Qiu covered her face with her scarf and left the place under the cover of night.

The room was pitch black, but Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi on the bed had their eyes wide open.

After waiting for about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the small cubicle next door, which had no doors or windows.

Xu Heyi pulled the curtain shut tightly, then lit a kerosene lamp.

The dim light illuminated the small space, revealing the haggard faces of Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi.

After Shen Zhihe and his wife were taken away, the two moved out of their small villa.

The place he lives now is a house that was allocated to him by the factory in his early years. Before that, he had a place to live, so he moved out.

Now, wanting to keep a low profile, the two have moved here.

However, after learning about the Shen family's situation, the neighbors looked at the two of them very strangely, causing them great distress and embarrassment. To make matters worse, Xu Heyi, who had originally had a chance to compete for the position of deputy director of the Beijing No. 1 Steel Plant, was disqualified.

If it weren't for Ji Lan, who had become the director of Beijing's No. 1 Steel Plant, protecting him, Xu Heyi would have long since left the workshop and become an ordinary worker.

In the past few days, the two have been trying to pull strings to get Shen Zhihe and his wife out of trouble.

However, everyone avoids them like the plague.

Or perhaps, a few days ago Su Nuannuan asked A Qiu to remind them to look for people Shen Zhihe had saved before and ask them for help.

With a plan in mind, Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi got to work and found a few people who could speak to them.

However, the other party only promised to help, but it is not certain that Shen Zhihe and his wife can be rescued.

To this day, there has been no news, and Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi are suffering terribly every day.

Now, A Qiu has delivered something, and Shen Yuan and Xu Heyi are eager to open it.

Opening the package, a wooden box was revealed inside, and Shen Yuan smelled a familiar medicinal fragrance. She opened the box, and a plump ginseng root came into view.

Shen Yuan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Over there, Xu Heyi had also finished reading the letter that A Qiu had brought over.

This was written by Su Nuannuan to Shen Yuan and his wife, but Su Nuannuan was worried that the two would be targeted, so she asked A Qiu to give it to Shen Yuan.

Su Nuannuan's letter was very simple and clear. Besides telling people that she was also looking for help, she asked Shen Yuan to use the ginseng she sent to change the location of Shen Zhihe and his wife's exile to Hongqi Village, Yuanhua County, Heilongjiang Province.

Don't try to rescue them. We avoided it this time, but we might next time. It's better to just send them to Hongqi Village this time; she can still look after them.

After reading the letter, Xu Heyi pondered for a while.

Although Su Nuannuan had previously asked A Qiu to inform the two of their plans, Shen Yuan and his wife still wanted to rescue Shen Zhihe and his wife.

Although Su Nuannuan was taking care of Hongqi Village, the two couldn't bear to let their parents travel far and suffer. Therefore, their main goal was to rescue Shen Zhihe.

However, Su Nuannuan's letter suddenly made Xu Heyi realize that perhaps going to Hongqi Village was the best choice for Shen Zhihe and his wife.

Shen Yuan had also finished reading the letter by this time.

Her face was covered in tears, and her voice was choked with sobs as she spoke.

"Heyi, are we really going to send Mom and Dad to Hongqi Village? But I can't bear to leave them."

Xu Heyi hugged Shen Yuan tightly and comforted her softly.

"Given the current situation, the best solution is to keep my parents away from Beijing."

Shen Yuan closed his eyes, then suddenly pushed Xu Heyi away and said.

"Let's get a divorce. I'll go to Hongqi Village with my parents."

Shen Yuan felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and with great difficulty, she expressed the decision she had been thinking about for a long time.

Xu Heyi had a bright future ahead of him, but his family had dragged him down. Shen Yuan knew that if Xu Heyi continued to insist on being with her, he would definitely lose even more.

Xu Heyi was not annoyed by Shen Yuan's words.

He gently held the heartbroken Shen Yuan in his arms and said.

"No. Have you forgotten our vow? No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we will never be apart."

Shen Yuan gripped Xu Heyi's clothes tightly, her voice choked with emotion, and said.

"But my family will drag you down with us."

Xu Heyi hugged Shen Yuan even tighter, his voice choked with emotion.

"No. It won't happen if I want to. Before, when I was down on my luck, my parents didn't look down on me and still married you off to me. Now, how could I abandon you for this? I'll only be okay if you're by my side. Ayuan, promise me, we'll always be together. Mom and Dad will still need our help in the future."

Xu Heyi's words deeply touched Shen Yuan's heart.

She held Xu Heyi tightly, no longer wavering in their relationship.
