They carried it the whole way, thinking it was some kind of treasure.

What's even more infuriating is that, despite having seats available, Yun Jin bought them standing tickets.

After a day and a night's journey, the mother and her two children stood all the way back. Their feet were swollen, their stomachs were growling with hunger, they almost drank all the water on the train, and they even stole other people's dry food and got beaten up.

The mother and her two children were disheveled, bruised and swollen, covered in injuries; anyone who didn't know them would think they were refugees.

Back in the village, some people mistook them for beggars and chased them away in disgust.

Aunt Yun said weakly, "It's me, Da Hua. Is there anything to eat? Please give us a bite. That heartless Yun Jin is torturing us, waah..."

Soon, the whole village came to listen to Aunt Yun, who was scolding and insulting Yun Jin under the big tree, and to hear about their experience of trying to swindle money. It was so vivid and interesting that everyone listened with great interest.

Everyone was surprised: "Yun Jin wasn't like this before?"

"Oh dear, that girl has finally stood up!"

"Of course, that man is now a deputy brigade commander, a high-ranking official. How could he still be as easy to bully as he used to be, living under someone else's roof?"

"You deserve it. It's not like you can't make ends meet. You embezzled the older brother's pension, and then you tried to freeload. Now you've kicked a hornet's nest, haven't you?"

Some people even demanded repayment directly: "You're back now, when are you going to pay back the ten yuan your husband borrowed from me?"

"And my five dollars."

"Our family's twenty yuan!"

“Our family borrowed seven yuan.”

Aunt Yun was dumbfounded, looking at the people surrounding her demanding repayment of her debts, and had a bad feeling.

Just then, Uncle Yun appeared. Seeing the mother and her two children return safely, he almost didn't recognize them: "Did you beg for money all the way back? Didn't I give that brat fifty yuan for travel expenses? Didn't she buy you tickets?"

Aunt Yun was furious: "You gave me the travel expenses?"

Uncle Yun nodded: "If I didn't send her the money, she wouldn't buy you train tickets. I borrowed fifty yuan from the village chief so that you could come back."

Uncle Yun also mentioned that he had emptied his house and borrowed money.

Aunt Yun's pupils constricted slightly, incredulous, thinking she was hallucinating: "You gave her all the 1,500 yuan you had saved at home?"

Uncle Yun shrank back guiltily and nodded.

"Heavens...Heavens, that's all my money! Ahhhhhh..." The enormous loss was too much for Aunt Yun to bear. Overwhelmed with emotion, she rolled her eyes and collapsed.
