Chapter 319 - 0319: Wish Fulfilled 1_1
It’s easier said than done.
How easy could it be to manipulate the hearts of people, and slip through the backdoor unnoticed?
Lu’s father and Wang Zhengguo could not leave traces of their own involvement, thus implicating themselves. They could only secretly ask Chen Ming and Shen Feihong to distribute the fine grain supplies as if they were free.
In these hard times, having grain and goods greases the wheels considerably.
Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng were behind the two men, holding each other’s hands, feeling both nervous and anxious.
One afternoon was not enough to handle this matter, the four old men stayed for two nights at the guest house. Wang Zhengguo carried his introduction letter and big red seals, with money and grain tickets, lodging and meals were not an issue.
Chen Ming agreed without a word, he found Cheng An, who, with just one sentence, made the reprieve of Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu a settled matter. Mainly because the elderly couple was worn out from the cold and hunger, and beaten to the brink of death. The person responsible feared causing a death would reflect badly on them and dared not keep them in the city, so Cheng An unintentionally facilitated their release with his words.
While deciding which rural area they were to be dispatched to, they chose the impoverished brigade of Caohu.
In consideration of Wang Zhengguo and fine grain supplies, Shen Feihong bore in mind Feng Qingxue’s gratitude. He had done business with people of dubious backgrounds for years. With just the right connections, he quickly changed the dispatch location to the Wanglou Brigade in exchange for ten pounds of flour, two pounds of eggs, two pounds of brown sugar, and a slab of cured meat.
