Previously, because Zhou Jinglan planned to marry Leng Yinghong, he had already promised them many benefits and even gave them some real money.
Therefore, the Leng family is no longer as strapped for cash as before, and they are now considered to have some money in the village.
Because they had tasted the benefits, Leng Qisheng and Xu Fangfang, even knowing that Leng Yinghong was using an imposter's identity, united and decided to continue using this identity, because it meant even more benefits in the future.
Once a person has possessed something, they find it even harder to accept losing it.
Zhou Jinglan can only be the son-in-law of the Leng family!
"Yes, Mom, don't bring any pancakes. We'll just buy boxed meals on the train. I heard they're really good, with lots of meat in them!" Leng Yaozu said, his mouth watering.
Leng Yinghong's mind wasn't on these trivial matters; she was only worried about the life she was about to take as a military wife in the compound.
"Oh dear, these are all minor matters. We need to hurry! We must get to the capital as soon as possible, find him quickly, and get things settled before I can feel at ease!" Leng Yinghong said.
Once the scam is covered up, what benefits can't you get?
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Xu Fangfang put the pancakes aside and didn't pack them in her luggage. She mainly brought some clothes and money for the trip.
Leng Yinghong was responsible for keeping the address handy. Zhou Jinglan had given them his contact address during their previous correspondence so that they could reply to his letters.
Upon arriving at the train station, I immediately bought a ticket for the earliest train to the capital.
The boxed meals on the train are really expensive, but they're also really delicious!
Xu Fangfang didn't buy one for herself, but bought one for her husband and son, planning to have a small meal with Leng Yinghong.
Leng Yinghong, however, refused to comply.
"Mom, where's my lunchbox?" Seeing Leng Yaozu engrossed in eating, Leng Yinghong felt uncomfortable.
Who is it that they can now eat boxed meals on the train?
As a result, she, the real hero, couldn't even get a proper boxed lunch. Why?
As long as they still want Zhou Jinglan as their son-in-law, they cannot mistreat her.
"One boxed lunch is too much. Let's eat what they leave behind!"
It's not that there are too many boxed meals, but that they are too expensive.
Leftovers?
Leng Yinghong objected, saying directly, "Why should I eat their leftovers? Besides, look at this mess, what could possibly be left?"
The meat was all eaten up, so they were just eating the leftover rice and vegetables.
“Mom, it’s your business if you want to eat their leftovers, but I can’t. If you’re not going to buy me a boxed lunch, then I’m not going to the capital to look for someone,” Leng Yinghong said.
Sure enough, Xu Fangfang's expression changed immediately after she said that.
"Buy it, Mom will buy it for you right away!" Xu Fangfang said, but her expression changed as she turned to buy the food, and she complained a lot to Leng Yinghong.
"Eat, eat, all you know is eating! What's a young lady like you doing eating so much meat? And you even dare to threaten me? You're such an ungrateful wretch!" Xu Fangfang scolded.
But they had to buy it for Leng Yinghong. As long as she still wanted Zhou Jinglan as her son-in-law, they had to appease Leng Yinghong first. Otherwise, how could her family get any benefits from Zhou Jinglan?
Even for the sake of Leng Yaozu's future, we have to appease Leng Yinghong first!
As it turned out, Xu Fangfang only bought one boxed meal and gave it to Leng Yinghong, but she couldn't bear to buy one for herself.
"Mom, aren't you going to eat?" Leng Yinghong asked, but she knew exactly what Xu Fangfang was up to.
“I’m not hungry,” Xu Fangfang said.
"Oh, I'm not hungry," Leng Yinghong said, then stopped talking and focused on eating her boxed lunch.
But less than two minutes later, Xu Fangfang shamelessly came over.
"Xiao Hong, put a piece of meat on Mom's plate," Xu Fangfang said, staring at Leng Yinghong's lunchbox and licking her lips.
Those glistening slices of meat looked delicious, especially with Leng Yaozu smacking his lips the whole time.
Leng Yinghong turned around with the lunchbox in her arms, preventing Xu Fangfang from succeeding. She mumbled, "Mom, didn't you say you weren't hungry? I don't even have enough for myself!"
Xu Fangfang: "..."
You bastard, you have no conscience!
"I wasn't hungry just now, but I'm a little hungry now. Can you get me a piece?" Xu Fangfang hadn't given up.
“If you’re hungry, go buy another serving. If you really can’t, just eat what Dad and Yaozu left over. I really don’t have enough,” Leng Yinghong said, refusing to give Xu Fangfang any.
Normally at home, Leng Yaozu always got the best things, and she was fed up with this favoritism.
Now, the family only got the money to buy boxed lunches because of Zhou Jinglan, but Xu Fangfang still doesn't want her to eat them. Even after buying her a boxed lunch, she still wants to eat the one in her mouth.
On what grounds?
Everything the whole family enjoys comes from her, yet they still treat her so harshly, just to please Leng Yaozu?
Leng Yinghong, of course, wouldn't allow it!
Leng Qisheng found it annoying and told Xu Fangfang to go buy another one herself.
She couldn't bear to part with it.
"Fine, fine, if you don't want to eat, then don't. Anyway, you're all full, and nobody cares whether I live or die." Xu Fangfang said this to Leng Yinghong, making it very clear who she was talking to.
But Leng Yinghong didn't respond, pretending not to understand, just like Leng Yaozu, who had never spoken a word.
He took the benefits, but he didn't do anything wrong; he just played dead well.
In the end, in order to save the money for a boxed lunch, Xu Fangfang resisted buying one and instead devoured some of Leng Yinghong's leftover rice and vegetables, which she ate mixed with the oil from the meat slices.
Leng Yinghong sneered inwardly.
He brought this on himself.
She doesn't feel sorry for Xu Fangfang at all.
After several days of swaying on the train, we finally arrived in the capital.
Upon first seeing the capital, they were dazzled by its prosperity, which further strengthened Leng Yinghong and Leng Yaozu's resolve to stay.
Once you've seen the good things, you can never go back to the past.
“Since we’re here, let’s clear things up and then we won’t go back. We’ll go straight to the house in the compound he applied for,” Leng Yinghong said. At the same time, she didn’t forget Leng Yingying. “By the way, Mom and Dad, my sister is also in the capital. Now that she’s in the army, we should get in touch with her.”
“That’s right, I wrote to her last time asking for money to buy a house, and she didn’t reply!” Xu Fangfang complained.
“No rush. We’re already here, it’s only a matter of time before we see her. The most important thing now is to talk to Zhou Jinglan and clear things up,” Leng Qisheng said.
"Let's hurry up, let my brother-in-law treat us to a fancy restaurant!" Leng Yaozu said excitedly.
He even found the boxed meals on the train incredibly delicious. In such a bustling capital city, the food in those high-end-looking restaurants must be even better!
Leng Yinghong took out the address Zhou Jinglan had given her and followed the location to find his unit.
