[Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Living in the same room with three men! ]
As soon as he entered the room, Shen Junyuan saw his mother kneeling beside the desk in front of the Buddhist shrine, writing furiously.
His expression was so excited that there was even a hint of suppressed joy. How could he look sick at all?
He was stunned.
When she heard him come in, Old Madam Shen didn't even raise her head, but just waved at him and said, "Yuan'er, come here."
Shen Junyuan hurried over.
After approaching, Shen Junyuan discovered that there were several empty plates on the table in front of his mother, and there were several pieces of paper with strange colors and textures next to the plates.
He couldn't help but frown.
Seeing how busy the household is, have the servants become so lazy?
Just as he was about to explode, the old lady beside him suddenly said to him, "Did you bring any silver? Give me some."
Shen Junyuan was stunned again.
"Yes, I did."
Seeing that his mother had stopped writing and looked up at him, Shen Junyuan quickly untied the purse at his waist and took out a silver coin weighing about three taels.
Old Madam Shen looked disdainful.
Shen Junyuan quickly lowered his head and started searching in his purse again.
It's not that he doesn't want to give money to his mother, but mainly given Shen Junyuan's identity, why would he need to pay the bill when he goes out?
The few pieces of silver in the purse were just picked up by him and put in there to prevent the purse from looking light.
But, how many pieces did he grab at that time?
Seeing her son's nagging look, the old lady became impatient.
She snatched the purse from her son's hand and threw it into the white jade porcelain plate in front of her.
"Mom! That's my sister..."
Shen Junyuan became anxious and reached out to stop it, but then he saw the purse disappear the moment it was put into the porcelain basin!
No, see you!
Shen Junyuan was shocked and turned to look at his mother.
Mrs. Shen's expression calmed down at this time.
She pushed some papers on the table and said to her son, "Take a look."
Shen Junyuan quickly took the paper.
When he saw the familiar handwriting on the paper, he suddenly straightened his back!
"Yuyao? This is Yuyao!"
Although the paper was crude and the pen and ink were not good, the handwriting was indeed written by his younger sister who had just passed away.
Shen Junyuan would never admit his mistake on this point!
"Where is Yuyao? Mom, tell me and I will go pick her up myself!"
-
While Shen Junyuan was shocked by his sister's resurrection, Shen Yuyao was secretly looking at the purse sent by her mother.
She glanced at Cheng Liyan, who had finished most of the dumplings in his lunch box and was currently chewing on a dark-flour steamed bread, and quietly moved inside her bunk.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, is this man's stomach a bottomless pit? He can actually hold so many things!
But at the same time, she felt a little ashamed, thinking that it was because she ate those dumplings that Cheng Liyan was not full.
So she couldn't wait to open her brother's purse.
Shen Yuyao knew that this was her eldest brother's purse because she had given it to him as a birthday gift.
Shen Yuyao spent half a month embroidering for this purpose.
But she didn't expect her brother to wear it with him.
You should know that my eldest brother usually wears things embroidered by my sister-in-law when he goes out.
Shen Yuyao turned her body to block the view of the person in the lower bunk with her back.
Of course, as long as Cheng Liyan didn't stand up, no one could tell what she was doing.
She opened her purse and took out four pieces of silver.
The largest piece of silver weighed about five taels, and the rest were two or three taels, which added up to no more than twenty taels.
Shen Yuyao couldn't help but curl her lips in disgust.
Is brother so poor?
As soon as Shen Yuyao climbed onto the upper bunk, she wrote a letter to her mother, describing in detail what happened after she woke up.
Of course, I'm just picking the good stuff.
Cheng Lanhua didn't mention a word about beating her.
She told A Niang that she and Cheng Liyan had already boarded the train, and described to A Niang this means of transportation that she had never seen before.
Then she told her mother that she needed money.
Yes, it was Shen Yuyao who asked the old lady for money.
She had not forgotten that she had once said she would pay back the money Cheng Liyan gave her to buy the porcelain bowl.
Although she saw the banknotes that the man handed over, she was aware in her mind that that was the money of this era.
But Shen Yuyao felt that no matter how dynasties changed, silver would always be universal.
So after contacting A Niang, the first thing she asked for was silver.
Shen Yuyao searched through everything in her purse, but apart from a few pieces of silver, there were only a few banknotes.
The amount of the silver notes was quite large, the largest one was worth one thousand taels!
But what’s the use?
Shen Yuyao searched her memory but couldn't remember there being a bank here.
Seeing that Cheng Liyan had put the last bite of the black steamed bread into his mouth, Shen Yuyao didn't dare to move anymore.
She quickly wrote a line of words, telling A Niang that she was not available at the moment and would find another opportunity to contact her.
He also explained that she didn't want any banknotes, and that just giving her some silver and preparing some personal items would be enough.
The clothes the original owner wore were terribly rough, and even though her body was used to them, she still felt uncomfortable touching them.
After writing, Shen Yuyao put the note and the banknote into a small bowl.
Just as she put it in, the door of the box was opened from the outside.
Two men came in.
Walking in front was an elderly man with gray hair, probably in his sixties.
He was wearing glasses and a Zhongshan suit, and he looked like a very learned man.
Following behind him was a middle-aged man in his thirties, carrying two people's luggage, and seemed to be the old man's follower.
As soon as the two came in, they smelled the aroma of dumplings and subconsciously looked towards the table in the middle.
But at this moment, there was only an empty lunch box on the table, and a piece of uneaten black food next to it.
The middle-aged man glanced at the black nest with contempt in his eyes.
The two of them had their bunks opposite Shen Yuyao and the others.
The old man greeted Cheng Liyan and sat on the lower bunk.
The middle-aged man climbed directly onto his upper bunk and placed their luggage on the shelf above the compartment.
Looking at the man busying around opposite her, Shen Yuyao broke down!
When she got on the train, her mind was all on the bowl she bought. She couldn't think about anything else, so she didn't pay any attention to her surroundings at all.
After entering the box, because there were only her and Cheng Liyan inside, and in her heart she had already regarded Cheng Liyan as her future husband, she was not too wary of him.
After that, her mind was focused on the surprise of contacting A Niang, and she didn't feel uncomfortable.
But at this moment, two more people suddenly came in.
They are all men!
Only then did Shen Yuyao realize that she was going to live in the same room with three men!
We have to eat, live and sleep together in this cramped and closed environment...
She suddenly felt great despair!
At this moment, Cheng Liyan stood up and said, "I'll go get some hot water."
As he spoke, he picked up the bamboo thermos under the table.
Seeing that the only person she was familiar with was about to leave, leaving her with two completely unfamiliar men, Shen Yuyao suddenly panicked.
She quickly said, "I'll go with you!"
As he said this, he climbed down from the upper bunk.
Who knew that at this moment, the train suddenly started.
Shen Yuyao was already panicking, and the sudden shaking frightened her so much that she slipped and fell directly!
Shen Yuyao was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
Just as her body fell into the air, her buttocks were suddenly supported by a big hand.
The hand seemed to have not expected the touch to be so soft, and it subconsciously pinched it...
