However, Director Bi told him some frustrating news: the situation of Ran Qiuye's parents was complicated, their background had been identified and recorded in the files, and it was almost impossible to change the status quo.

"There might have been a chance in the early years, but now..." Director Bi sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Yang Ming's heart tightened, but he did not give up: "Director Bi, I know you must have a way. Please help me!"

Director Bi looked at Yang Ming's anxious eyes and was somewhat moved. But he still shook his head: "I am now powerless and there are many things I can't do."

Yang Ming felt a sense of disappointment, but he knew that now was not the time to give up. He took a deep breath and said firmly: "No matter what, I will try. I can't let Qiu Ye down."

Director Bi looked at Yang Ming's departing back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This young man is really courageous! I hope he can succeed...

"Director Bi, I know you are in a difficult situation, but Ran Qiuye's parents are old and not as healthy as before. A place like a quarry is really not suitable for them." Yang Ming's voice was full of concern.

Director Bi sighed. He understood Yang Ming's concerns. He nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, Yang Ming. I will call as soon as possible to ask about the situation over there and see if I can get them back."

A glimmer of hope appeared on Yang Ming's face. He looked at Director Bi gratefully: "Thank you, Director Bi. I believe you will find a way."

He knew that the two old people had done nothing wrong, but it was their family background that put them in trouble. But in this small town, who doesn't have some difficulties?

At the same time, Ran Qiuye's mood was extremely complicated. Although she had temporarily lost her job, she felt the warmth from all sides during these difficult days.

However, she could not feel at ease about her parents' situation. She could not imagine how they lived in the quarry, and could not share the slightest bit of their pain.

One evening, Ran Qiuye dragged her tired body back home, only to find two familiar figures standing at the door - her parents! She rushed over in surprise, tears welling up in her eyes. Her parents were obviously much more haggard, but she was extremely relieved that Yang Ming had returned.

"Mom and Dad, why did you come back suddenly?" Ran Qiuye asked curiously.

Ran's father and mother smiled at each other and shook their heads: "We don't know what happened. Someone took us out of the quarry today, and then a young man drove us home. He said he was your partner and told us not to worry about you."

Ran Qiuye was stunned. She never thought that all this would be related to Yang Ming. A warm current surged in her heart, and her gratitude was beyond words.

"Is it Yang Ming? How could he..." Qiu Qiuye murmured to himself.

"Yes, the young man is a nice guy. He said you asked him for help." Ran's mother added.

Ran Qiuye was filled with gratitude and guilt. She was grateful to Yang Ming for helping her when she was in the most difficult time; she also felt guilty for her previous misunderstanding and prejudice against Yang Ming. She decided to go to Yang Ming in person to express her gratitude to him.

Early the next morning, Ran Qiuye arrived at Yang Ming's door. She knocked on the door, and it opened soon. Yang Ming saw Ran Qiuye standing at the door, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

"Qiu Ye, why are you here?" Yang Ming asked.

"I came to thank you." Ran Qiuye said sincerely, "Thank you for helping me bring my parents out of the quarry. I don't know how to express my gratitude..."

Yang Ming waved his hand (baah): "Don't say that, Qiu Ye. I just did what I should do. Your parents are also my elders. How can I watch them suffer?"

"Qiuye, your father and I are back." Ran's mother's voice interrupted Ran Qiuye's contemplation. She looked up and saw that Ran's father and mother were haggard and tired, but their eyes were shining with relief for surviving the disaster.

"Mom and Dad, you've suffered." Ran Qiuye stood up and walked forward. Ran's father and mother hugged her tightly, as if they wanted to pour out all their grievances and pains.

"In those days, we really thought we would never see you again." Ran's mother's voice trembled, tears welled up in her eyes. She described to Ran Qiuye the difficult life in the quarry, the endless labor and the desperate waiting.

"It was all Yang Ming who saved us." Ran's father took over the conversation, his tone full of gratitude. He said that without Yang Ming's wit and courage, they might never have been able to escape from that hellish place.

Hearing this, Ran's mother couldn't help crying. She remembered the fear and despair of those days and nights, and everything Yang Ming had done for them. Ran's father saw this and quickly scolded her: "Why are you saying these things in front of the children? Aren't we all fine now?" He gently patted Ran's mother's shoulder and comforted her not to be too sad.

Ran Qiuye stood aside, feeling mixed emotions. She knew how great Yang Ming's kindness was, but she also understood the problems hidden behind this kindness.

She and Yang Ming are nominally lovers, but in reality Yang Ming already has his own family. How can she repay this kindness?

Just as she was lost in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door. Ran's father and mother suddenly became nervous, thinking that the people who took them away came again. Ran Qiuye also felt uneasy, she was worried that Yang Ming's affairs would be exposed and bring unnecessary trouble to the Ran family.

However, when the door was opened, it was Yang Ming who appeared outside. He was holding some gifts in his hands and had a gentle smile on his face. Seeing that Ran Qiuye's family and Yang Ming were fine, he was relieved.

"Brother Yang Ming, why are you here?" Ran Qiuye asked in surprise. Yang Ming smiled and handed her the gift: "I heard that my uncle and aunt are back, so I came to see them specially."

Ran's father and mother's nervous expressions relaxed after seeing Yang Ming. They warmly invited him to sit in the house and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to him. Ran Qiuye watched all this silently, with mixed emotions in his heart.

"Qiuye, you've worked hard these days." Yang Ming turned to Ran Qiuye and said. Ran Qiuye shook her head: "It's not hard, as long as you Yang Ming is fine." Her voice was a little choked but she tried to control her emotions.

The door slowly opened, and Ran's mother poked her head out. When she saw Yang Ming, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly called him in, and Yang Ming smiled and handed over the gift in his hand.

"Auntie, this is a small gift I brought for you and uncle. I hope you like it." Yang Ming said, putting the bird's nest, ham and old mountain ginseng in his hand on the table.
