Under Mr. Wang's insistence, Jiang Xiaoxiao went to the hospital for a check-up.
There was nothing serious.
Only then was she relieved to let them go home.
Mr. Wang sought out Jiang Xiaoxiao because he heard that she somehow had connections to get grain, naturally wanting to find a way in.
This was a personal connection.
Mr. Wang was from Beixi, and although it wasn't considered a disaster year there, the conditions weren't good either, and poor harvests were common, so his family's situation also worsened.
Even though Mr. Wang had a stable government job, he didn't have abundant grain.
As a state official, he still had to adhere to the rationing system, and couldn't just buy grain whenever he wished.
Some people suggested the black market!
It's easy to say, but if someone recognized him at the black market, it would become an issue of ideological awareness, which is no small matter.
It could lead to big trouble.
