Chapter 991: Paying Respect to a Famous Teacher 8
Ye Zhengjun had endured much suffering recently, having lost a great deal of weight which only made his eyes appear sharper.
Seeing the things before him and hearing Cui Shaoyuan’s words, he was filled with countless emotions, "Okay, I’ll remember this, and thank you, Comrade Cui, for your concern."
The kindness Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue had shown him could not be conveyed by mere words of gratitude, so he kept it in his heart, striving to survive, to live and walk out of Northwest Farm, and then repay them.
In the past, he was the commander of an entire army, how glorious was that?
Even when he wasn’t in the Capital, there were always people flocking to his family out of self-interest; fortunately, under his instructions, his family had always worked diligently and never dared to engage in anything that violated the regulations, leaving no room for criticism.
And now? Those who once gathered around him and his family vanished in a blink, many adding insult to injury.
Therefore, he cherished the help received during this time of hardship all the more.
Of course, people like Zheng Xuefeng and Zhao Yong wouldn’t ignore his affairs, but wasn’t it out of their reach? Many people had troubles of their own and naturally couldn’t spare the effort to look after him.
Ye Zhengjun was philosophical about it and also had the courage to live on, so when he left, he didn’t look back.
Guo Cui was next to leave right after him, just as Cui Shaoyuan had said, she was sent back to her hometown, mainly because there was no one to escort her, no supervision; Lu Jiang took the chance to see her off, bringing along the items and money Feng Qingxue had prepared for her, informed her of Ye Zhengjun’s situation, and additionally instructed her to write a letter or send a telegram to her own family after she got home, to facilitate future deliveries.
