"I'll go, sis. You have two kids at home." Jiang Hui thought about how her niece didn't want her sister to go.
“You can’t go. If you go, you won’t be able to keep it from Grandma. She’s so old. If she finds out, she definitely won’t be able to handle it. Tian Tian and Huan Huan have already been weaned. It’s good that you can cook. Please take care of the children for me during this time.”
Jiang Ruyu's main concerns were that her grandmother was old and suffered from hypertension and cerebral infarction, and also that Jiang Hui and Han Ling had only been working for a few months, so taking a long leave now would have a negative impact.
She has the system and the supplies, so she'll be more useful there. Mainly, she thinks Jiang Lin shouldn't be in any serious trouble, and that absolute protection can't be useless.
We don't know anything about Jiang Lin's situation until we see him. We can only settle things at home first and then go see what's going on with Jiang Lin.
"Okay, sis, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of Tian Tian and Huan Huan."
Han Ling had never met her brother-in-law, but she knew that Jiang Hui and he had a deep relationship. She glanced at Jiang Hui with concern and then said to Jiang Ruyu, "Sister, be careful on the road. Send us a telegram when you arrive. Don't try to carry everything yourself."
They were speaking in hushed tones, and the old lady didn't hear them.
"Okay, I know. Just keep an eye on the house for me. Your brother-in-law should be back tomorrow. Tian Tian and Huan Huan will probably cry when they go to sleep tonight, so please try to comfort them."
"Yes, sis, don't worry."
Jiang Ruyu was also worried about her two daughters, but she had no choice but to go. Fortunately, the two children had been weaned and could eat solid food, and they were usually easy to take care of, otherwise she really wouldn't have dared to leave.
She went back to pack her clothes, took the money and tickets, and hugged her two children: "Mommy's babies, be good, be obedient, don't cry, Mommy will be back soon, ah, don't want to look for Mommy, ah."
Jiang Ruyu looked at her two daughters' round faces, which were giggling with laughter. She almost couldn't hold back her tears: "Dad, Xiaoyue, you've both worked so hard these past few days."
“We’re all family, don’t say such things. Just go and come back soon. We’ll take care of the children.”
Zheng Dali knew his daughter-in-law was also upset, so he could only try his best to put her mind at ease.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll ask for leave tomorrow and I'll definitely take good care of Tian Tian and Huan Huan." Zheng Xiaoyue also knew about Jiang Lin's situation. She understood her sister-in-law; she would have done the same if it had happened to her.
"Yes, thank you, Xiaoyue, and Dad. Thank you for being so understanding and for being so forgiving." Jiang Ruyu picked up her small bag and left; she still needed to go to her manager to ask for leave.
After everything was arranged, Jiang Ruyu went to the train station. At this time, there were no direct trains, so she could only buy a ticket to Nancheng and board the train. Jiang Ruyu was even more anxious.
On one hand, she was worried about her children at home, and on the other hand, she was worried about whether Jiang Lin would be alright. Her heart was torn in two, and she was in great agony.
After an overnight train journey, she arrived in Nancheng at eight o'clock the next morning. As soon as she got off the train, she bought a ticket for the next available train to Ningcheng city. She waited in the waiting room for more than two hours, during which time she called her family and the street office. After a long wait for the call to be transferred, Xiaoyue finally answered the phone.
"Hello, is this your sister-in-law? This is Xiaoyue."
"It's me, Xiaoyue. How's the baby? Is he crying? Is he eating and drinking formula?" Jiang Ruyu was eager to know about the baby's condition.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Yesterday, Tian Tian and Huan Huan were fussing for a while, so Dad and I took them out for a walk. They stopped crying and fell asleep after drinking their milk powder when we got back. They're eating right now. It's noodle soup that Jiang Hui made with dried shrimp. They're eating it with great relish."
Zheng Xiaoyue knew what her sister-in-law was worried about, so she only talked about the important points.
Jiang Ruyu was relieved: "Okay, that's good. Please take good care of me. I won't say any more, I'm hanging up now."
After paying 1.8 yuan for the phone call, Jiang Ruyu went into the waiting area to wait for her train.
The train finally arrived at the station. Jiang Ruyu hadn't slept much all night, but she fell asleep as soon as she sat down, undisturbed by the noisy surroundings.
She woke up again when she felt someone tugging at her clothes. She jolted awake and grabbed the hand that was still rummaging through her bag. It was obviously a novice.
The moment Jiang Ruyu grabbed his hand, she shouted, "Thief! Catch the thief! Where are the train police? There's a thief here!"
Jiang Ruyu's voice startled everyone on the bus, who began rummaging through their bags. The person she grabbed was a young man who was not yet twenty years old. He hadn't expected to be caught by Jiang Ruyu; he had only grabbed her because she was dressed well and her bag was bulging, which he assumed meant she had money.
He was caught red-handed and was so frightened that he pushed Jiang Ruyu away and ran away. There were many people on the bus, and when they saw him running, many people helped to catch him. In the end, they did not let him escape and he was pinned to the ground by the combined efforts of the people.
After shouting out, Jiang Ruyu regretted it a little. She had come out on important business, and the thieves on the train were organized and in gangs. She was afraid of being targeted.
Seeing the young man being arrested, Jiang Ruyu secretly observed the people around her. Sure enough, she saw two men glance at her before quietly leaving the carriage.
Jiang Ruyu felt a little uneasy. Just then, she saw the train police arrive. She went up to them and described the appearance of the two people she had seen.
"Are you sure?" The train police officer didn't refute her, but simply asked.
“Yes, usually when something like this happens, the first reaction is to check if you have lost anything. But those two people did run away, so it’s very likely they are accomplices.” Jiang Ruyu didn’t want to cause trouble, but for her own safety, she had to say, “My younger brother is an officer in the East China Sea Fleet. He is injured, and I am going to take care of him. If they have accomplices, I will be in danger. I hope you can guarantee my safety. I have important business to attend to.”
Upon hearing this, the train police officer immediately became serious: "Please come with me."
She was taken to the dining car, where she met the train police captain. She introduced herself, her workplace, and presented her letter of introduction and the urgent telegram. The captain saluted her and said, "Thank you for your righteous act. We understand your thoughts. A train attendant will take you to the sleeper car later. It's safer there; they can't get in. When the train arrives at the station, we will send someone to take you to the military hospital."
Jiang Ruyu stood up and bowed to him: "Thank you, thank you so much."
“This is what we should do. Military families deserve special treatment. Besides, you helped us catch this person. By following him, we can also clean up this gang.”
"I was just doing a small favor, and I hope you can wipe them out in one fell swoop and bring peace to our train."
"We will do our best."
Jiang Ruyu was led into the sleeper car, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to worry. Meanwhile, Jiang Lin was still unconscious in the hospital.
