Chapter 847 - 0847: Storm 3
After a night of deep conversation, the couple felt a sense of crisis. Lu Jiang decided to thoroughly study every directive sent from above, conjecturing their implied meanings and under what circumstances they had been issued.
And Feng Qingxue? She became increasingly reclusive and sent out the letters she had written.
Lou Shaonong and Lin Yufen were shocked upon receiving the letters.
"Old Lou?" Lin Yufen spoke first, "What do you think?"
Lou Shaonong spoke in a low voice, "This girl must have taken a huge risk to write us this letter. They often interact with the higher-ups and naturally would discover some things unknown to us down here. They mentioned that a storm is brewing, and sure enough, it wasn’t calm at the beginning of this year. Now they mention a sandstorm, saying it’s beyond redemption. We can’t ignore this."
"What do you mean?" Lin Yufen was immediately alarmed.
Clamping his teeth, Lou Shaonong said, "Let’s go! We’ll resign, claiming that we’re getting old, our health is worsening, and our memory is sometimes unreliable. We fear that if we continue teaching, we might misguide the young."
Lin Yufen nodded, "Back to our hometown?"
"Not to my hometown, but to yours. It’s unfamiliar territory, but they also know nothing about our past," Lou Shaonong thought for a moment, "As we resign, we will also transfer all our food rations, claiming we’re deeply aware of the Capital’s food supply pressure. We’ll move to the countryside to live by our labor and not add to the nation’s burden. Our savings will last us several years!"
Having taught in the Capital for many years and mentored many students, he was confident that he could manage moving to the countryside.
Lou Shaonong’s hometown was in the city, which is why he chose to move to a remote mountain village in Shu Land, where his wife’s family was from.
