Chapter 116: No Money Left

"What?"

Jing Xian suspected that she had heard wrongly. She turned around and looked at Xu Ning, repeating: "You just said you couldn't go?"

Xu Ning didn't dare to look at Jing Xian.

"My mother-in-law said..." What her mother-in-law said was very unpleasant and hurtful, and Xu Ning was a little unable to say it.

Jing Xian frowned and said, "What did you say?"

"She said, she said, she said she didn't have such an indecent lady." Xu Ning hesitated for a long time before she uttered this sentence.

Jing Xian knew that Song Ning's relationship with her mother seemed okay, but in fact, because of her uncle's family, they had a rift. But Jing Xian never expected that Song Ning's mother would say such a thing.

What Song Ning did was a bit out of line, but she wanted to leave a descendant for the man she loved. Is that wrong?

"Okay, I understand."

Jing Xian didn't say anything and turned around and walked back.

Xu Ning stood at the door and looked for a while, then turned around and left.

Shang Nanchen saw Jing Xian coming in disappointed, and asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to look for Xu Ning? Why haven't you gone yet?"

"Yeah, I saw Xu Ning. She came to tell me that she was going to look for Song Ning." Jing Xian was in a very low mood.

Shang Nanchen asked her: "Not going? That's right, maybe because you're busy with work, so you can't leave."

“Maybe.”

Jingxian packed up her things and had no mood to cook.

Shang Nanchen tried to coax her for a long time but failed. He suddenly whispered something in Jing Xian's ear, and Jing Xian immediately looked at him with wide eyes.

"Master Shang, is this something you can do?" Jing Xian didn't recover from his bold words for a long time, "Can you pay attention? It's broad daylight now! I didn't say anything last night, and now you want to go in the daytime? No, I won't go!"

"Go! There will be no chance later."

Shang Nanchen wore the long coat and trousers that Jing Xian had made for him and pulled Jing Xian outside.

Several children are playing outside.

Shang Nanchen said, "You two stay at home, your mother and I will go to the fields to take a look."

"The things in the ground are the most important. They are my mother's lifeblood." Fusheng waved his hand knowingly, "Hurry up and take a look. If you wait, you will have to wait until the Chinese New Year!"

"This kid!"

Shangnan rubbed Fusheng's head and told him and Xiaomao: "You two should take good care of your brother and sister. If mom and dad are not back, you will be responsible for tonight's dinner."

Fusheng shouted, "Got it!"

Jing Xian didn't want to listen to Shang Nanchen anymore and wanted to leave immediately. Shang Nanchen was really shameless. How could he say such things to the children?

"Your face is made of city walls, right? I think even the city walls are not as thick-skinned as you. How do you manage to say these words without changing your expression?" Jing Xian was extremely curious.

Shang Nanchen still had that expressionless look and said frankly: "What's the big deal? When they grow up and have their own families, they will be like me."

Jing Xian: “…”

Is this something a father can say?

Shang Nanchen noticed from the corner of his eye that Jing Xian's attention was diverted and a smile appeared on his face, which meant that his efforts were not in vain.

"You hang around here every day. Do you know where there are fewer people?" Shang Nanchen asked Jing Xian while standing at the edge of the cornfield.

Jing Xian asked in surprise, "Are you really planning to make trouble here in broad daylight?"

"What else?" Shang Nanchen said righteously, "If there were no children and you were alone, I could do it with you at home with the door closed. But we have so many children at home, it's not convenient at all. You are leaving, how many days can we be together? The next time we meet will be during the Chinese New Year. You can't let me get my money back directly, can I enjoy it until the Chinese New Year?"

“…”

Jing Xian had seen thick-skinned people before, but she had never seen anyone as thick-skinned as Shang Nanchen.

After all, she felt sorry for Shang Nanchen.

Jing Xian pointed somewhere not far away and let Shang Nanchen pull her inside.

It's very quiet in the cornfield.

There was a breeze that felt a bit cool.

They lay side by side on the ground, looking at the mottled sky through the green leaves.

Shang Nanchen held the person in his arms.

Jing Xian whispered, "Actually, I don't really want to go. If you want me to stay, I will stay."

"Go, you must go." Shang Nanchen said without hesitation, "If a fight really breaks out, I won't be able to take care of you. Be obedient and take the children to find our father. Wait for me to pick you up, okay?"

"I can come back by myself!" Jing Xian said.

"I can pick you up too." Shang Nanchen lowered his head and bit her. "I know you are capable, but no matter how capable you are, you are still my wife. I love my wife and you can't hold her back. Besides, I am worried about you taking care of six children by yourself."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes! Maybe my dad will come back with her." Jing Xian knew very well that if she wanted to come back to reunite with Shang Nanchen, Comrade Jing Feng would definitely follow her.

Unless Comrade Jingfeng remarries.

"Who do you think my mother is? Why does my father miss her so much? He hasn't even married in all these years. I saw that he was quite skilled in holding the child. I used to wonder if he had other children. But he told me with certainty that I was his only daughter."

Jing Xian was very confused, but was too embarrassed to ask Jing Feng directly, so she could only talk to Shang Nanchen.

"When you arrive in the capital, ask it yourself." Shang Nanchen didn't dare to guess about such things.

"That's fine."

Jing Xian felt a little sleepy, and as she was talking she fell asleep on Shang Nanchen's chest.

Shang Nanchen was worried that she would catch a cold if she fell asleep here, so he carried her out and all the way back home.

Jingxian didn't eat dinner and slept until the next morning.

It's dawn.

Jing Xian looked at the familiar environment and her mind was still a little confused.

Didn’t she fall asleep... in the cornfield yesterday?

How come the sun has already set when I open my eyes?

"Don't you want to sleep a little longer?" Shang Nanchen opened his eyes and asked her after hearing the noise.

Jing Xian shook her head: "No, it's getting dark, I'm going to make dinner for the kids. I'll fix it today, pack everything up tomorrow and wait to leave the day after tomorrow morning."

Shang Nanchen: “…”

Jing Xian waited for a while but Shang Nanchen didn't answer the call, so she thought he had fallen asleep. When she turned around, she found Shang Nanchen looking at her with a strange expression.

She subconsciously asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Shang Nanchen shook his head.

"Then why are you looking at me like that?" Jing Xian asked directly.

Shang Nanchen said: "Is it possible? It's already morning now."

"Well, it's possible. Huh???"

Jing Xian had already put on her shoes. She walked straight to the counter, picked up her watch and looked at the time. Only then did she realize that she had fallen asleep.

It’s actually morning!

"Have I slept for so long?" No wonder she felt so good that she could kill a cow with one punch.

Shang Nanchen couldn't sleep either, so he sat up and said with a smile, "Did you sleep like a fool?"

"Almost. I didn't realize I could sleep for so long." Jing Xian herself found it unbelievable. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.

After a good rest, people are in a different state.

She is in a very good mood now.

Shang Nanchen also noticed it, walked over and hugged her from behind, then kissed her hard for a while before letting her go.

I miss you even though we haven't even separated yet.

I can't bear to let her go.

"You won't leave me, right?" Shang Nanchen couldn't help it and asked Jing Xian for a promise.

Jing Xian didn't understand the meaning of his words. She pushed him away in dissatisfaction and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Don't be afraid of the well rope for ten years after being bitten by a snake once. I think there can be a little more trust between us."

Shang Nanchen felt a little helpless when he heard her words.

He wanted to say that he didn't mean that, but it was too difficult to explain.

He really liked the way Jingxian explained it.

I wish she would say more of these things.

Jing Xian didn't know Shang Nanchen's ulterior motives and agreed to several things from him.

After breakfast, the kids started packing up.

Jingxian picked all the vegetables at home.

She also dug up some leek roots and put them in the flowerpots, and ripened a lot of other vegetables directly, picked them and put them in baskets and sacks.

night.

The family went to bed early.

Jing Xian almost died, and Shang Nanchen let her go.

When I got up in the morning, I found a big cloth bag of boiled eggs, cooked shrimps, and rice balls made by Jingxian neatly placed in the lunch box. There was also a bag of pancakes, as well as milk powder for the two children.

There was a lot of wheat straw under the bed, so you could sleep on it even without a mattress or quilt.

Shang Nanchen put a lot of things in it when he got up in the morning.

The car can only seat four people.

If they squeezed in the back, there would be at most two people, five in total, including the driver. If it wasn't raining, there was no need for everyone to sit inside. Jing Xian let the brothers choose whatever they wanted.

She took the two little ones in the car, and Xiao Mao insisted on staying by her side to accompany her.

Jing Xian didn't refuse either.

After packing everything, they were ready to leave.

Jing Xian held Xiaowu and Xiaoliu in her arms, called the other four children over, and said, "Say goodbye to your dad. When we come back, it will be Chinese New Year."

"Xiaoliu, hug daddy and say goodbye to him."

Xiaoliu said in a baby voice: "Daddy, hug me!"

The little kid rushed over and hugged Shang Nanchen's legs, then slowly let go and leaned on Jing Xian.

His elder brother Xiaoliu followed suit, but didn't say a word.

Finally, there are a few big ones.

Jing Xian couldn't help it either, she hugged Shang Nanchen and said, "Promise me that you will stay alive and wait for me to come back."

"We don't have to fight, we just have to be prepared at all times." Shang Nanchen whispered to comfort her, "You don't have to worry about me. I can cook. Although it's not delicious, it can fill my stomach."

Jing Xian remembered that several children now complained that the food he cooked was not tasty, and couldn't help laughing: "You can eat in the cafeteria. Don't make yourself so tired. Send a telegram if you have something to do, and remember to write a letter. If it's urgent, call. Don't you know the home phone number?"

"Also, this is for you. It's not for you, but a donation to the army." Jing Xian handed the passbook with 12,000 yuan in it to Shang Nanchen.

Shang Nanchen took the thing and said hurriedly: "Why are you giving it to me? I will feel more at ease if you take it to the capital."

"I have money. All our family's money is on me. Besides, I live in my father's house and eat his food and drink his drinks. He will be happier." Jing Xian pursed her lips and smiled, "This is my donation to the army. I won't take ill-gotten gains. I will only keep my share."

She had been planning to do this for a long time.

There just never was a chance.

Now is your chance.

She gave it.
