Upon learning of Luo Qiao's arrest, the Luo family rushed to Hongqi County the very next day.

That morning, Wen Tang delivered some vegetables to Director Wang again.

Homegrown vegetables are worthless.

She gave me a few extra bars of soap made from soapberries.

"Director, this is a new type of soap I made. It's perfect for bathing, washing your face, and washing summer clothes. It's also easy to rinse."

Director Wang looked at the new soap and asked in surprise, "A new product has come out so quickly?"

Wen Tang scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Well, I figured it out when I had nothing else to do."

"I didn't expect it to be so useful."

After talking about soap, Wen Tang brought up Luo Qiao, "Director, that educated youth surnamed Luo has really been arrested."

"She went to the county town to resell things again the day before yesterday, and she was arrested as soon as she got there."

Director Wang smiled and said, "Definitely. Since she dared to resell them, she will definitely be arrested."

Wen Tang sighed, "They're really confused. Their family is perfectly well-off, so why do they have to get involved in this? I don't know."

"Perhaps his mind isn't clear enough."

"Now her parents are also affected."

“Right? I think so too,” Wen Tang echoed Director Wang’s words.

"But I wonder if her parents can pull some strings and get her out of here." As Wen Tang said this, she kept glancing at Director Wang.

Director Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You little rascal, you..."

Director Wang pointed at her with his hand, and finally had to say, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things for you."

"Don't worry, this is a real crime, it's not easy to pull off."

Wen Tang immediately pouted and said, "I knew the director loved me the most."

"By the way, Director, I'm going to Haishi in a couple of days. Is there anything we need at home? I'll bring it back for you." Wen Tang told Director Wang that she would never forget her kindness if she helped her with this.

She will definitely repay her kindness.

Director Wang thought for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "There's nothing needed at home, otherwise I really would have liked to trouble you."

"Are you going to handle things at that factory?" Director Wang asked.

Wen Tang nodded, "Yes, we agreed last time that we would finalize the site selection in three months, and then I will draft the equipment and so on."

Director Wang looked at her and said, "You young people are really not to be underestimated."

Wen Tang said modestly, "Not at all. It's all thanks to the excellent leadership of the directors. We have a goal, which is why we can walk on the right path."

"You're quite modest, kid."

Wen Tang shook her head with a smile, "No, no, really no, it's all thanks to you older sisters who love me."

Then Wen Tang told about Feng Jiao and Feng Wei, concealing He Shou Wu's involvement, only saying that he had helped Feng Jiao and Feng Wei at the hospital. He never expected that Feng Wei was actually the army commander's wife.

Wen Tang said with a satisfied look, "At home, I have Director Feng who dotes on me. When I went to Hai City, I didn't expect to meet Sister Feng again. I am so lucky."

"So these things of mine went very smoothly."

Wen Tang has some cunning.

She wanted Director Wang to secretly help her, but she was afraid that once Director Wang learned about Luo Qiao's family background, he would feel it wasn't worth offending people for her sake. After all, it seemed she didn't have much to offer Director Wang in return. So she simply brought up Feng Wei and Feng Jiao.

Director Wang never expected that Wen Tang would actually meet such a high-ranking person in Shanghai. She wondered how she ended up setting up the factory there; it turned out she had someone behind her.

However, it also proves that she has good judgment.

With Wen Tang getting to know such a person, her man's future promotions in the military will definitely be smooth sailing.

It's likely that in just a few years, her husband will rise to a level that ordinary people can hardly reach in a lifetime.

Then, if she accidentally slips up a single sentence, she won't have to keep going around in this small place anymore.

She was willing to help Wen Tang with the soap business, for the same reason.

She hoped that Wen Tang would help the villagers of Xiangxing Brigade accumulate wealth, which could be used as a political achievement for her promotion.

In hindsight, she made the right decision.

After speaking with Director Wang, Wen Tang felt somewhat relieved.

Riding her bicycle, humming a song, and facing the autumn wind, Wen Tang happily hurried home.

Some people are just not happy.

For example, Luo Qiao, who was imprisoned.

Luo's parents saw her at the detention center.

As soon as Luo Qiao saw Luo Jiahe and Hu Changxiu and his wife, she burst into tears, crying, "Dad, Mom..."

She opened her mouth and started crying.

She's been locked up for several days now, and this time she didn't manage to bribe anyone, so she's not having an easy time.

Although he was only locked up for two days, Luo Qiao had already become like a stray dog.

"Dad, Mom, save me..."

Hu Changxiu held her hand with heartache, tears welling up in her eyes. Finally, she said with a mixture of heartache and anger, "You silly girl, how could you... how could you be so silly?"

Every time Luo Qiao left, she would take a lot of soap, shampoo, and other things with her from home.

Hu Changxiu thought it was a hot commodity in the countryside, and she would take it to the countryside for her own use and occasionally give it away to maintain relationships.

Although she carried a lot of things and occasionally wrote letters and made phone calls to ask for mail, the amount she needed was indeed somewhat abnormal, but Hu Changxiu never thought she would be engaging in speculation.

Speculation and profiteering...

Is that something people like them would do?

Their family has plenty of food, drink, and money, so why would they do that kind of thing?

Putting aside whether it will affect one's social standing, everyone has food and drink, so who would do something illegal?

Luo Qiao was confused by the scolding, but she honestly said, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again next time, Mom, you must save me."

Hu Changxiu kept Luo Qiao company while Luo Jiahe went off to talk to someone else, clutching his bag.

Hu Changxiu held Luo Qiao's hand tightly and said with concern, "Don't worry, your dad has gone to smooth things over. Don't be afraid."

Luo Qiao's tears stopped instantly, and she smiled and nodded, "Mm!"

The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer. Hu Changxiu's gaze fell on Luo Tian beside her, and she couldn't help but ask, "Tian Tian, ​​why don't you try to persuade your sister about this?"

Luo Tian's eyes were also red from crying. When she heard this, she was clearly taken aback, but she still argued, "I tried to persuade her, but Qiao Qiao wouldn't listen."

Luo Qiao immediately said, "I just wanted to exchange more money so that our lives here would be a little easier."

Luo Qiao pouted again as she spoke, "Mom, you don't know how hard life was at the educated youth settlement. We ate from the same pot, and every day it was just mixed flour steamed buns with porridge. We didn't even see meat once a month."

"After I made some money doing this, Tian Tian and I started cooking separately and could cook for ourselves."

Luo Qiao said these words purely because she was afraid that Hu Changxiu would define her in his mind as the kind of person who is easily swayed.

After all, the Luo family's social standing in this era was so high that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were among the top tier, with no shortage of food or drink.

Even though Luo Qiao and her family came to the countryside, with the money and coupons given by the Luo family, they wouldn't have to live a hard life there.

They could have lived a good life, but instead chose this path, and they are easily labeled as short-sighted.

The original owner of this body was switched at birth. Not long after being reunited with the Luo family, she was sent to the countryside again. Now that she's in trouble, if Hu Changxiu develops a grudge against her and refuses to spend a lot of money to bail her out, then she's finished.
