"Mother…" The two children looked at their mother with teary eyes. They knew that they would not be seeing their parents and elder brother for a long time.
Fang Ling was crying hard. But she had no choice. She had to leave.
The children stayed at home while Gu Yunshen borrowed the brigade's ox cart and sent Fang Ling to the train station. Fang Ling cried all the way there.
Gu Qingyao sat next to her in silence, just keeping her company.
She knew that nothing she said would be of any use. She might as well allow her to vent.
Once Fang Ling left, Gu Qingyao went to the black market as usual, and also looked for Chen Jin. She had gone to the town very frequently as of late, to exchange as much of her goods as possible for cash.
Most of those seeking food in the black market were short of food. Her actions also would save their lives. A lot of food passed through Gu Qingyao's hands during this period.
