After receiving the grain, Shen Mo and his companions bid the village chief farewell. Now, with solid evidence and witness, they had a solid reason for either restructuring the village or distributing the emergency food supply.
The village chief grasped Shen Mo's hand, expressing his gratitude. Over their stay at the village chief's house, Shen Mo's group had been open about their real purpose for being there. Even though the village chief was already aware, receiving Shen Mo's assurance brought tears to his eyes. He murmured, "Our village is saved!"
After bidding farewell to the village chief, Shen Mo made his way to Jiang Xia's place. As he knocked on the door, he was surprised to find it wasn't the scene he expected of Jiang Xia educating the children. Instead, it appeared the Jiang family was packing their belongings.
"Planning a trip to the mountains?" Shen Mo asked.
Jiang Xia shook her head, "No, we're preparing to visit the city."
