When money paves the way, no one can remain unmoved.
After Qiao Jiuru's rebirth, she had this plan in mind; she wasn't afraid of spending money, only afraid that no one would dare to accept it.
Moreover, she also knew that even if these people took her money now, they would have to spit it back out to her in the future.
Currently, she just hadn't freed up her hands yet; once her family was settled, she wouldn't let them off the hook.
She would never forget the hatred of her children's deaths, even if she died.
It wasn't that there would be no retribution, but that the time had not yet come.
For now, they needed to overcome the immediate difficulties.
"Lu Dage, is there any news about Hua Zhu's assignment to the countryside?!"
Her youngest son was about to be sent away, but her youngest daughter hadn't been settled yet, and she was very worried.
"I also inquired about Hua Zhu's assignment to the countryside. According to policy, she cannot go to the island for her assignment; only the Northeast and Northwest directions are accepting. The person I found said that Hua Zhu can directly go to Baigou Village, Baishan Village, or Baisha Village in Mentou Township, Hua County, Tong City, Ji Province."
Lu Baoguo had also spent a day running around for this matter yesterday, using some connections, and it wasn't without results; at least he could still arrange for her to go to a designated place for her assignment as Xiao Ru requested.
"Hua Zhu can go to any of these three places. Can she be registered today?! It's best if she departs the day after tomorrow, and no later than the day after that. I'm worried that any delay might lead to complications."
Qiao Jiuru only wanted to send her children away quickly; as long as they left Beijing, they would be safe.
Especially Hua Zhu, she was only a seventeen-year-old girl, who hadn't experienced great storms, and whose living environment had always been very simple. She simply didn't know how terrifying and cruel the outside world was.
Zhang Hong and Lu Baoguo: "..."
The two exchanged glances. Xiao Ru didn't want the two children to know about the upcoming events in their family.
"Xiao Ru, Huaiyuan, you don't have to tell Xiao Feng about the situation you're facing, but since Hua Zhu will be so close to you, you still need to explain it clearly to her. I believe children's hearts aren't that fragile; I believe they are brave and can face all difficulties without being defeated."
Zhang Hong felt that the couple was overly protective of their children and that they should appropriately give them some responsibility and pressure. If they didn't say anything and the children knew nothing, he was afraid it would cause misunderstandings and irreversible consequences.
Lu Baoguo also nodded, agreeing that the couple hadn't handled it well enough.
When Qiao Jiuru heard that both elder brothers disapproved of her concealing the truth from her son and daughter, she couldn't help but look at her husband beside her.
Then, she saw Su Huaiyuan nod to her.
"Zhang Dage is right; I was overly worried and thought wrong. If the children knew nothing and made incorrect actions, that would truly harm them."
Qiao Jiuru not only suddenly decided to tell her youngest son and youngest daughter about the family being reported, but she would also tell them about the self-rescue measures the family had already taken, and even planned to tell the children how many supplies they had prepared.
"Alright, let's split up now. I'll go buy train tickets and handle that matter. You two go register Hua Zhu for her assignment, and we'll meet back here tonight."
There was no time to delay; half the afternoon was already gone, and they had to go to work in half an hour.
So, the four of them could only go about their business; time waits for no one.
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan followed Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong was the director of the Hospital, knew many people, had many people asking for his help, and many people flattering him. Therefore, both the Street Office and the Educated Youth Office recognized him and were very willing to give him face.
Coupled with the twenty yuan given, Su Huazhu's assignment location was quickly confirmed: Baishan Village, Mentou Township, Hua County, Tong City, Ji Province. Subsequently, she immediately received a two hundred yuan resettlement fee and a train ticket for departure the day after tomorrow.
The three of them came out of the Street Office satisfied, and only stopped to discuss after walking a long distance.
"Xiao Ru, I think it's unsafe for Hua Zhu, a girl, to go to such a distant place. Tonight, let Old Lu find someone to change her ticket to a hard sleeper."
Zhang Hong thought more deeply and further ahead, mainly because no place was safe now, especially for a young girl traveling alone, who was easily targeted by human traffickers. He was worried.
Qiao Jiuru's heart sank when she heard this. She had indeed forgotten about this safety issue. In this era, there were many human traffickers, and many single girls had accidents. She really wasn't at ease with Hua Zhu going alone.
"Zhang Dage, thank you for reminding me. I think it would be better to find one or two people to escort Hua Zhu there. I'll cover all the travel expenses, accommodation, and per diem. Our money now, if not spent, is wasted. People are more important than money."
"That's not difficult. Old Lu knows many people, so it's easy for him to find someone. With money for escort, there will definitely be people willing."
Even Zhang Hong thought Qiao Jiuru's idea was good. The Su family could afford it, and it was better to spend it themselves than to let others spend it.
Su Huaiyuan also nodded repeatedly. Their family truly didn't lack this money, and as his wife said, safety was more important than money.
On the other side, Lu Baoguo successfully obtained Su Feng's hard sleeper ticket at the train station. A familiar person at the train station even helped arrange for them to be together.
After leaving the train station, Lu Baoguo went to the Textile Factory's security section and met his former subordinate, now the Deputy Section Chief of the Textile Factory's security section.
