Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Paying Respect to a Famous Teacher 7

Lu Jiang heard him out and couldn’t help saying, "I remember you said you had Cui Lao treated in the Capital."

Since he was in the Capital, why would he go back to his hometown to treat the child?

Cui Shaoyuan answered, "The situation in the Capital was chaotic, and my father didn’t want to witness such scenes. After he recovered, I sent him and the child back home. It’s much quieter there than in the Capital. But about you, Comrade Lu, how did you and Qingxue come to the Capital? I haven’t heard of any pressing reasons for you both to travel here recently!"

Lu Jiang’s thoughts shifted, and he sighed softly, "After Hen Xiangqian went to the army, someone took over the management of the military region’s affairs. They figured I hadn’t gone home for leave in a long time, so they granted my wife and me some time off to visit family. The main reason we came to the Capital was our concern for Ye Zhengjun, to see if there was any way we could help. In addition, we took the opportunity to bring you a Bezoar Pill. I just found out about Ye Zhengjun’s situation and his next moves. We have prepared some items for him and are thinking of ways to get the goods to him before he leaves."

Cui Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Leave that to me."

"You?" Lu Jiang feigned a look of surprise.

"Comrade Ye Zhengjun is stubborn and refused to open his mouth, even clashing with the interrogator. If it weren’t for Wang Xinsheng speaking up for him, he might have lost his life. Under these circumstances, I can’t get him out. But I, Cui Shaoyuan, have some influence in various circles of the Capital, so delivering some clothes and shoes to Comrade Ye Zhengjun shouldn’t be a problem," Cui Shaoyuan replied.

Lu Jiang immediately said, "Then I’ll trouble you, Comrade Cui. Just getting the clothes and shoes to Ye Zhengjun would be great; we ask for nothing more. Please also speak to the people at the Northwest Farm, so when we send items to Ye Zhengjun, they don’t hold them back."

Such incidents had happened before.

Why did Cao Hongzhu harbor such hatred for corrupt officials? Wasn’t it because during the three difficult years, all the money and Grain Tickets Li Shuitian sent home were intercepted by local officials, causing his entire family to starve to death except for her?

Cui Shaoyuan solemnly said, "Rest assured, I’ll tell them not to give Ye Zhengjun a hard time on his way."

Good deeds should be carried to the end.

"As for Sister Guo Cui, the wife of Ye Zhengjun..." Lu Jiang hesitated for a moment but still spoke.

Normally, he would be reluctant to broach the subject, but Guo Cui’s life and safety were at stake, so he felt compelled to speak up.

Cui Shaoyuan inwardly admired Lu Jiang’s integrity. Associating with such a person was reassuring, so he responded, "Don’t worry. After discussion, it’s been decided that Sister Guo Cui will be sent back home and won’t enjoy the privileges afforded to urban residents and military family members in the Capital."

His words meant to convey to Lu Jiang that even if this wasn’t the initial decision, he would ensure that it was carried out.

With Cui Shaoyuan’s help, Lu Jiang went back and delivered the prepared luggage to Cui Shaoyuan. Feng Qingxue had added some extra items to it, like towels, enamel basins, toothbrushes, and other daily necessities, as well as food for the journey like yak jerky and dried pork.

Cui Shaoyuan kept his promise and handed the items to Ye Zhengjun on the eve of his departure.

Cui Shaoyuan’s influence was even greater than he claimed, as when he visited Ye Zhengjun, the guards were nowhere in sight.

"This is from Comrade Lu Jiang and Qingxue." Cui Shaoyuan didn’t mention how deeply his own family was indebted to Feng Qingxue’s lifesaving grace, merely stating that it was Lu Jiang who had asked for the favor, "Once you arrive at the Northwest Farm, either send a telegram or write a letter to Comrade Lu Jiang. Having a contact address will make it easier for them to send you things in the future."
