Chapter 17

Jiang Huihan glanced down at her hands that were tightly held by Jiang Weiyu and asked her, "Why do you say that? Do you know something?"

She quickly thought about the reason why Jiang Wei Yu appeared here. Could it be that she accidentally heard Huang Qiujuan's next plan and did not want to go along with her relatives, so she secretly ran here to tip her off without telling her family?

Or is this a conspiracy by my aunt and her gang, whose purpose is to gain her trust first, and then implement the plan after she gradually lets down her guard?

Seeing that Jiang Huihan seemed to be in a daze and had no reaction, Jiang Weiyu said anxiously: "What I said is true, you guys should leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

She knew very well what kind of person her second brother was. She remembered that when she was in the fourth grade of elementary school, one of her second brother's classmates injured the leg of another classmate and paid a lot of money in compensation. Later, one day she was not feeling well and asked for leave from the teacher to go home early. She accidentally heard her second brother and the classmate who injured the leg dividing the money. It turned out that her second brother and his friends set a trap to trick the classmate who injured the leg in order to defraud money.

Since then, she has been a little afraid of her second brother and dared not to mess with him. The father of the classmate who injured someone had once helped the family. Her second brother and he grew up together. After the incident, her second brother acted as if nothing had happened and talked and laughed with people as before. That person is still kept in the dark and treats her second brother as a good brother.

Jiang Suihan smiled awkwardly. She had watched many palace fighting and political intrigue dramas before and had accidentally thought too much. A girl in her teens should not be that scheming.

She looked at Jiang Weiyu doubtfully: "Okay, I believe you, can you tell me how you knew someone wanted to harm me?"

A son should not blame his mother for her mistakes. Jiang Wei Yu didn't have the nerve to confess to Jiang Huihan. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she stammered, unable to explain herself.

Jiang Suihan didn't embarrass her: "You don't have to say it. I can probably guess that it's your mother and the others, right? Maybe they are gathering together right now to plot how to get some benefits from me."

The little girl is still at school age. Apart from her classmates and family members, she probably doesn't come into contact with anyone else. Looking at her wide-open eyes, there's no need to guess.

Jiang Suihan: "Did you come to see me without telling your family?"

"Well, I ran out by myself." Seeing that Jiang Huihan did not continue to ask questions, Jiang Wei Yu silently breathed a sigh of relief.

She really guessed it right. Jiang Huihan touched the top of the little girl's head. She was obviously sixteen years old, but she looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. Thinking of her aunt's favoritism and the little girl's quiet and silent personality, one could imagine what kind of life she led at home.

"Don't worry, we'll leave tomorrow morning."

Time is so tight, and I think my second brother has no time to prepare. Jiang Weiyu is relieved. She said a little embarrassedly: "Then I'll go first. I have classes tomorrow morning, so I won't see you off."

Seeing that the person was about to leave, Jiang Huihan called Jiang Weiyu: "Wait."

Xu Zhao hasn't left yet. He is helping to clean up the house. He will take some things that he can't take away to Grandma Lin later and ask her if she wants them.

Jiang Suihan asked him for the address of the unit and wrote it on a piece of paper. The paper was provided by Jiang Leyun and was torn from one of his small notebooks.

"What?" Jiang Wei Yu took the piece of white paper and saw that it was an unfamiliar address.

"This is where we will live in the future. If you encounter any problems and want to leave home in the future, you can come to me." Jiang Suihan stuffed another handful of candies into Jiang Weiyu's hands.

She appreciated Jiang Wei Yu's kindness. In the next few years, the city would only become more and more chaotic. Teachers would be purged, schools would not have classes, and students would not study. If Jiang Wei Yu could not find a way out in the future, this would be considered a way out for her.

Jiang Weiyu looked at Jiang Huihan with a touching expression, pursed his lips, and suddenly reached out to hug Jiang Huihan: "Thank you, Sister Huihan, you must be well."

Leave this sad place, live a good life, and live your life well.

Caught off guard, Jiang Suihan looked embarrassed. The girl was very touched and she didn't want to push her away. She was silent for a second, then raised her hand and patted the girl on the back.

"Okay, it's not a life-and-death separation. When you graduate, you can come and see me if you have time. Don't get involved in outside affairs if you can. Students should study hard and go home after class. Whether you are outside or at home, don't just swallow your anger. You should fight for the rights you should fight for, otherwise everyone will think you are easy to bully."

Jiang Weiyu nestled in Jiang Huihan's chest, blushing and saying shyly, "Well, I'm going home to eat."

She let go of Jiang Huihan, clenched her fist, and nodded heavily: "I will work hard, and I will beat back anyone who bullies me in the future."

"There's no need to be so violent." Jiang Huihan raised her eyebrows and smiled.

I feel like I have taught the child bad things, and I feel a little guilty for some reason.

Xu Zhao picked up the luggage on the ground with both hands and walked out the door first.

Before leaving, Jiang Huihan looked back at the dilapidated house, and there was no reluctance in her eyes: "Let's go."

Yesterday, the three of them went to the cemetery to visit Jiang's father and mother. This was suggested by Xu Zhao. Jiang Suihan almost forgot that after getting married, she should indeed take the new son-in-law to tell her parents about it. This son-in-law was chosen by her father himself, and she thought he should be satisfied.

With Xu Zhao as a plug-in, Jiang Huihan and her brother only need to carry a small bag and follow behind, which is very easy.

When they arrived at the train station, there was still more than half an hour before departure. There weren't many people there at the moment. Xu Zhao had sharp eyes and found an empty corner through the crowd.

He put his luggage on the ground and looked at his watch: "It's still early, let's take a rest first."

There was no car at home that went directly to the train station, so we had to stop and go along the way and take three buses to get there. We got up at five in the morning, and before we got on the train, Jiang Suihan was already exhausted. She took out a kettle and asked Jiang Leyun, "Do you want some water?"

It was filled with boiled water, specially prepared in the morning, filling a whole pot.

Jiang Leyun licked his slightly chapped lips and nodded.

Jiang Huihan unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to him: "Drink less. If you drink too much, you will easily go to the toilet, which is not convenient on the train."

She had never been on a train, but she could tell from her imagination that the conditions on the train must be bad.

Jiang Leyun didn't dare to drink more, so he only drank two sips. The waiting time was a bit boring. He lay on the luggage and asked Xu Zhao: "Brother-in-law, is Li Province far from here?"

At first, Jiang Suhan felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Jiang Leyun calling Xu Zhao "brother-in-law". But after hearing it so many times in the past two days, she got used to it and felt that the child adapted faster than her.

Xu Zhao stood up straight, looked down at the child and said, "We will spend two nights on the train. We will arrive in Li Province at around five o'clock the day after tomorrow morning, and then take a bus from Shangyun County to the army. It will take about 40 to 50 hours if we calculate carefully."

Jiang Leyun couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "More than forty hours, twenty-four hours a day, that means more than two days, so long, so far!"

He had never been out of Mingjiang City since he was a child. This was his first time out of the province, and he was excited just thinking about it.

Jiang Suihan couldn't help but frown and wanted to change her mind and turn back. She was on the road for such a long time and she didn't know if her body could take it.

She is a real southerner. She feels uncomfortable if she doesn't take a shower for a day, let alone on a train. The thought of it makes her scalp tingle.

As people get off, others get on. The train station is very busy, especially the area near the entrance, which is crowded with people.

Xu Zhao walked in front to lead the way, Jiang Huihan followed closely behind holding Jiang Leyun's hand. After much difficulty, they finally squeezed into the car. Among the three, except Xu Zhao, the siblings looked a little embarrassed. The child was small and was stepped on twice in the chaos. There were two black footprints on the uppers of his shoes, and the left and right shoes were very symmetrical.

Jiang Leyun's mouth drooped and he looked unhappy. This pair of shoes was his best pair and they were stepped on and made dirty. If he had known this, he would not have worn this pair of shoes.

Sleeper tickets were hard to buy, so Xu Zhao asked his comrade from the Public Security Bureau for help and bought three sleeper tickets, one middle berth and two lower berths.

He stuffed the luggage under the bed: "You sleep in the middle bunk, Lele and I will sleep in the lower bunk, it will be more convenient this way."

He sleeps downstairs so any issues can be dealt with promptly and it is also convenient for taking care of the children.

Jiang Suihan exhaled slowly. The smell in the train was terrible. There were all kinds of smells mixed together, which was very irritating to the sense of smell. She felt listless and sat on the bed to rest.

Seeing Xu Zhao busying around alone, she felt a little sorry and said quickly, "Let me do it."

Xu Zhao didn't let her help: "It's okay, I see you don't look well, take a rest first."

Seeing that Jiang Suhan looked like a blade of grass wilted by the midday sun, I thought that she probably had never taken a train before and might not be used to it.

Jiang Suihan looked at the orange in Xu Zhao's hand with sparkling eyes: "Where did you get it from?"

She couldn't wait to take the orange and break it open. A burst of fresh orange fragrance hit her nose. The skin looked a little wrinkled, but when she peeled the orange flesh, it was very juicy, sour and sweet, and very delicious.

"You guys eat them, there are a few more in the bag." Xu Zhao shook his head and refused.

Yesterday, on the way back to the guesthouse, passing through an alley, he saw someone carrying a tightly packed basket, behaving stealthily. Xu Zhao followed him out of curiosity and discovered that the alley should be a temporary black market. The place was not big, and no matter whether they were selling or buying things, everyone tacitly tried not to talk, and left immediately after the transaction.

Seeing someone selling oranges that looked fresh, he bought a few, thinking Jiang Huihan would like them.

When drinking water, one should remember the well digger. Jiang Suihan held up two orange slices and handed them to Xu Zhao's mouth: "Open your mouth."

Xu Zhao was silent for a moment, looked at her, opened his mouth and bit the orange flesh in front of him.

“Very sweet.”

Sweeter than any orange he had ever eaten.

Jiang Huihan only then realized that her previous actions seemed a little intimate. There were other people in the carriage, secretly looking at her and Xu Zhao with a look that was curious but embarrassed to look any further.

Her face turned red instantly, and she said calmly, "It's quite sweet."

Jiang Leyun raised his little head, looked at his sister, then looked at his brother-in-law, then covered his mouth with his two little hands and grinned.

Jiang Huihan glared at the child, pulled his hand away, and stuffed a slice of orange into his mouth.

What are you looking at? Food can’t stop you from eating.
