Chapter 497: The Trivial Matter of Breaking Open Flatbreads

To Duan Hongmei, Wong Xiao and He Aimin surely did all they could. Not only did they send her to the city hospital to save her life and covered her medical expenses, but they also allowed her to rest and recover at the Educated Youth Corps, even indefinitely postponing her self-criticism and re-education sessions.
