Chapter 17: Departure (2/2)



The two thin quilts and sheets were pressed tightly, folded, wrapped in newspaper and tied with a rope. The mat was also rolled up and tied to the quilt. The basin, bucket, water cup, thermos, etc. were stuffed into a large homemade net bag. A few black bread buns were taken out from the space of the wooden bracelet and put into the lunch box. The lunch box was then put into a military satchel and stuffed into the large net bag.

These things were brought from her original home. Even if there were new ones in the wooden bracelet space, she didn't want to let the family who killed the original owner get them.

She went out with a large backpack on her back, a quilt hanging on her chest, and a large net bag in her hand. The Qiao family members who were sitting there not only did not stand up to see her off, but also did not say a single polite word. Qiao Hong and her three siblings glared at her, and their eyes seemed to want to eat her. No one dared to act rashly. Qiao Mo just glanced at them lightly and lowered their heads.

"Cousin, are you going to die?" When they reached the street in the family quarters, Yang Weihua and Qiao Chengting hurried over. "Give me your bag, we'll take you there."

"Yes, your eldest cousin is a man. Give him the largest one and give me this one." Qiao Chengting took the net bag from her hand and betrayed her son at the same time.

"I can do it. These things are not expensive. You don't have to send them." Qiao Mo didn't want to cause them trouble.

"How can I not send you off? Letting a little girl like you start her life alone? People will think you have no relatives and will bully you outside?" Qiao Chengting's eyes turned red. It was because she was incompetent, otherwise, she would not have allowed Qiao Chenglin and Zhang Meiyu to mistreat her niece like this.

"Mom is right, we are close relatives. No matter where you go, you must remember that you still have your aunt and cousin. You must tell us if anything happens." Yang Weihua said with a sob. He felt guilty because his uncle loved them so much, but they couldn't even protect his only flesh and blood.

"I know, if someone bullies me, I will definitely find my cousin and ask him to seek justice for me." Qiao Mo nodded. She knew that Yang Weihua was a sentimental and moral person. He could do nothing when Qiao Chenglin and Zhang Meiyu bullied her, but it was different for others.

"That's right." Yang Weihua reached out and rubbed her hair. From now on, he would treat her like his own sister.

"Cousin, I will rely on you from now on. Brute force is not enough to rely on as a person. You must be both civil and military. Cousin, you must study hard and don't waste time. Believe me, knowledge is useful in any era. The theory that knowledge is useless is only temporary." Qiao Mo said seriously.

She has no brothers and is not close to her cousins, so it would be better for her to have a good relationship with her cousin Yang Weihua, and train him well when there is an opportunity in the future. It will also be a help to her.

"I understand. I will work hard." Yang Weihua clenched his fists. His cousin had to study even after going to the countryside, so he certainly couldn't let her down.

"Aunt, cousin, you'd better go. It's too late. There will definitely be no bus by the time you get here." Qiao Mo thought about the fact that the bus stopped running at 8 o'clock, and couldn't help but dissuade them again: the train station is not close to the printing and dyeing factory, and there are no taxis in this era, so it will be difficult for them to come.

"It's okay. There should be a lot of people here to see us off. I'm sure I'll meet someone I know, and we can come here together." Qiao Chengting said indifferently.

"Yes, that little distance is nothing for us. At worst, we can just get up later tomorrow." Yang Weihua said nonchalantly. Isn't it just ten kilometers? It's a piece of cake for him.
