"It's okay, it's okay, it will be fine after a while." All Zhong Jing could do was to comfort his wife.
Zhong Jiaquan said, "Mom, don't cry. There are so many people watching us here. At worst, I can do more work and save more money. You can come to Beijing to see your sister whenever you want."
Feng Jianhong couldn't stop crying, and neither her husband nor her son could persuade her to stop.
Bai Lian curled her lips. Her mother-in-law was so fierce, and now she was crying like this, she didn't know if she was pretending; the Yan family was a good family, and if she got close to them, she would definitely get benefits from the Zhong family. She had to follow Zhong Jiaquan wholeheartedly. Even if he was a loser, at least he had a promising sister and brother-in-law.
"The train has arrived. It's time to get on."
Feng Jianhong had to stop crying, wipe her tears, and follow Zhong Jing to get on the train with her luggage; Zhong Jiaquan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Bai Lian to follow.
First, they found the carriage recorded on the train ticket and boarded the train after ticket checking; they found the berth number recorded on the ticket and stuffed their luggage next to the bed. The valuable things in their group were kept at hand, such as the new clothes and some supplies bought for them by their daughter and son-in-law on this trip to Beijing.
The train stopped for half an hour. Facing the train that was about to depart, Feng Jianhong had to cheer up.
"Jiaquan, go buy some food before the train leaves. The food on the train is not tasty and expensive. Go buy some pancakes and eggs, and we'll eat well for a few days." It will be fine when we get home.
Zhong Jiaquan nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
Feng Jianhong gave the money, and when Bai Lian saw that she was given a big unity card, she insisted on going with them. Feng Jianhong did not demand much of her in this regard and let her go. Zhong Jiaquan did not want to bring anyone with him. Wouldn't it be better to go and come back quickly by himself?
Bai Lian was shameless and held him back, refusing to let him go. "If you don't want me to go, then you shouldn't go either. Mother-in-law didn't even tell me not to go, so why don't you take me with you?"
"What do I want to bring you with me? You're always dawdling and want everything good when you see it." Zhong Jiaquan shook off her hand and quickly walked out of the carriage. People were coming and going in the carriage. Bai Lian chased him for a few steps, but Zhong Jiaquan disappeared. She stamped her feet in anxiety.
Bai Lian got off the carriage angrily and decided to wait at the door.
In the carriage, Feng Jianhong opened the luggage bag containing toiletries, found the water cup, and was about to tie the bag again; but she saw a stack of big unity banknotes next to the bag, and Feng Jianhong felt terrible.
"Dad, come and see, is this given by our son-in-law?"
"What did your son-in-law give you?" Zhong Jing stretched his head to look, and was also shocked. He urged: "Put it away quickly and don't let anyone see it."
That stack of money is worth at least three or four hundred yuan.
Feng Jianhong picked up the money with shaking hands and put it in her arms. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down next to Zhong Jing, muttering, "What do you think my son-in-law is doing? He gave us so much money without saying anything. If we hadn't seen it, it would have been lost."
Zhong Jing thought back to what had happened along the way. The only time Yan Rushan could have made a move was when he took the luggage bag. He went over it in his mind and understood it clearly.
"My son-in-law knew what was going on. When he took the bag, he took the bag from me. He didn't take the bag from Jiaquan. I think he stuffed it in there at that time."
"That's not bad." Feng Jianhong's fear disappeared, and she began to complain again, "My daughter is very thoughtful, but we just came to see her, not to take their money. She didn't grow up with us, and we didn't do anything for her. How can we have the nerve to ask them for such filial piety when they come to Beijing to buy us this and that?"
Who says it isn’t?
They were on the train, so they couldn't get off halfway, right? If they got off the train and went to the compound, they would definitely miss their train. Yan Rushan must have calculated their intentions and was giving them such a small amount of money, right?
Zhong Jing figured it out, and everything clicked. "Keep it. When we get back, buy them some good things and send them over. Some things are hard to find in the city, like eggs, mountain products, and things from the fields. We can stock up on them. Yuxiu loves lobsters, doesn't she? When we get home, let's have everyone in the family go to the fields and catch crayfish. They're still lobsters, and Yuxiu is sure to love them."
"That's right, then. I'll buy some cloth to make a few more clothes for my grandson." Feng Jianhong had already made plans for returning home. "Speaking of which, Yuxiu's belly is eight months old, which is a bit too big. Maybe the baby is too big, making it difficult to give birth. Yuxiu will definitely suffer a lot."
"Don't worry, the Yan family knows what's going on. Our daughter isn't the kind of girl who won't achieve anything."
Feng Jianhong felt relieved and continued, "Our daughter is naturally the best. I am just worried about what will happen if she gives birth and I am not around to take care of her during the confinement period. How can I feel at ease if I don't look after her? Although there are nannies, they are not as attentive as a mother like me."
"Why don't you just say you want to come and see your daughter? Why do you have to beat around the bush?" Zhong Jing finally understood what his wife was thinking. "Didn't Yuxiu say that we can go and play later?"
"Yes, I came here to play, not to take care of her during the confinement period." She should take care of her during the confinement period, so why bother? Once she does it, can Yuxiu stop her from doing it?
Feeling happy, Feng Jianhong climbed onto the bed above Zhong Jing, took out the money, faced the wall, and counted the money with his back to the bed. After counting, Feng Jianhong hurriedly stuffed the money back into his arms, but 500 yuan was a lot of money, and his stomach felt bloated.
Patting her stomach, Feng Jianhong took out the money and put it separately. She put one hundred in her pocket, one hundred in her chest, and one hundred in the money pocket on her waistband. There were still two hundred that she had nowhere to put. After thinking about it, she decided to give the money to Zhong Jing. Fortunately, there was no one else in the carriage at this moment, so she handed the money down.
"Dad, keep this money. It's not easy to take it from me."
Zhong Jing took it, unbuttoned his clothes, and stuffed the money into his inner pocket; the man's clothes were too big, so the money could not be seen in his inner pocket.
"How much money did my son-in-law stuff in? Why can't it fit in?"
"That's exactly the amount." Feng Jianhong held up five fingers. "If I put it all together, it would be too obvious. People would know I have money in my pocket at a glance. If I separate it, no one would notice, especially the daughter-in-law of the Jiaquan family. She's as cunning as a hornet's nest. I can't let her know about this amount of money."
Zhong Jing nodded without comment. With his wife at home to keep him company, he wouldn't make any big mistakes. "Five hundred yuan is too much."
"It's too much. Let's store it well. Maybe next time we come, we can buy more things for my grandson." Feng Jianhong has made plans. All the money will be spent on her grandson. "Jia Quan can earn money, and we can save the money at home slowly. We can't use the money given by my daughter and son-in-law. We should find a way to return it to them."
"You decide." Zhong Jing didn't take this matter to heart. No matter how much money there was, it was not earned by them, and they would feel uneasy about using it.
Feng Jianhong sat up straight, her eyes narrowed with a smile, "I wonder who my grandson will look like. He's still over a month away from being born."
Zhong Jing couldn't respond to this. How would he know who the child looked like since he hadn't given birth to one.
