Yun Jin will receive a reward.
However, she doesn't need to rely on this reward to exchange for freedom.
Yun Jin received fifty yuan as a thank you from the bank, as well as a pair of enamel commemorative mugs from the bank, which could be used to drink water, or to hold porridge, noodles, rice, or the like.
As for the police station, they were awarded a certificate and a thermos.
Yun Jin accepted everything with a smile. She kept the thermos for herself but gave the one she was using to He Lifang, whose thermos had broken and was now using cold water.
There are no hot water bottles at school, and it's still early spring with temperatures only a few degrees Celsius, possibly even below freezing at night. It's unbearable without a hot water bottle.
At least hot water was provided, so I can use it to wash my hands and face.
I can soak my feet for a while at night.
The thermos flask given by the police station has the police station's name on it, so it's not appropriate to give it away as a gift. I can only give it to someone I've used myself.
He Lifang didn't mind at all, and was even worried that Yun Jin had given her her thermos and that she wouldn't have any to use.
Yun Jin waved her hand, indicating that she had one.
Besides, He's mother's house has heating, and it's still running now. There's always hot water in the house, so they don't use the thermos very often. It's only used when He Tingchuan is home, and the two of them need hot water to wash up after working overtime late into the night.
I rarely use it normally; I usually use it the next day to wash my face and brush my teeth.
Refill immediately after use.
Unlike He Lifang and her classmates who live at school, where hot water is available at fixed times and there are always long queues when they want to get hot water.
As Yun Jin walked past the long queue after school, she was glad that she lived at home. If she had lived in the dormitory, she really couldn't have endured this hardship.
When Xiao Niangao learned that Yun Jin had received an award and He Tingchuan called, she couldn't help but boast, "Daddy, Daddy, I'll tell you a secret: Mommy got an award! Mommy is so amazing! The uncle at the police station praised Mommy for being so great!"
"Oh?" He Tingchuan asked curiously. When he asked Yun Jin, she hesitated and gave a vague answer. He noticed something was off and could only ask in a deep voice, "What did you promise me before?"
Yun Jin glared at Xiao Niangao.
Little Rice Cake looked innocent: "Mom is really amazing!"
Yun Jin was both amused and exasperated, and could only confess honestly.
After she finished speaking, half-jokingly and half-jokingly, without mentioning any of the danger, He Tingchuan fell silent.
Yun Jin called out to him, saying, "I'm fine, really. I brought a gun with me, but who knew I'd be targeted? That person recognized me and held a knife to my waist. Luckily, my dad gave me a gun for self-defense."
"Are you scared?" He Tingchuan asked, his tone revealing his undisguised concern and worry.
Yun Jin lowered her eyes: "I'm scared. I'm thinking about how to get out of this. Little Niangao is still so young. My man is so handsome. If I die, wouldn't he be giving away his money to another woman?"
He Tingchuan: "...Is this the time to worry about other women getting away with this?"
Yun Jin coaxed, "There was no other way. That was the only thought in my mind at the time. I couldn't die. I would never give up such a good man. I wanted to live and spend my whole life with you. So when I opened fire, I didn't hesitate at all. Bang bang! I wanted to let the other side know that I am a military dependent. My man personally taught me how to use a gun. How could I possibly miss?"
He Tingchuan's upturned lips were suppressed, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't think so much in the future. Take good care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your safety."
"As for me, don't worry. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have remarried. You don't need to worry about Xiao Niangao having a stepmother. I won't let that happen." He Tingchuan's words on the phone struck Yun Jin's heart.
Yun Jin's heart softened: "Husband, I want to hug you."
He Tingchuan felt a pang of sadness, a strong sense of helplessness and a desperate desire to stay by her side: "I'll hug you."
Yun Jin smiled and said, "I felt it. It was a very comforting embrace. See you in my dreams tonight."
He Tingchuan was thoroughly charmed and chatted with her for a while. He then had her pass the phone to his father. After his father answered, the two exchanged a few words, mostly He Tingchuan talking, with his father offering brief "uh-huh," "I know," and "Don't worry."
Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao, who were eavesdropping, couldn't understand what was going on.
Mr. He didn't hide anything and said, "My third son asked me to find out if those robbers have any accomplices. We need to catch them all in one fell swoop, in case there are any hidden dangers. He asked someone to accompany you when you go out during this period."
Yun Jin waved her hand: "No need, no need, I can manage on my own."
"Third brother told you to do this. If you want to refuse, talk to him yourself." After making another call, Mr. He said to Yun Jin after hanging up, "Someone will come to accompany you to and from school tomorrow. It will last for about two weeks. Once it's confirmed that everything is alright, she will not continue to follow you."
Yun Jin had no choice but to follow their arrangements.
The next day, sure enough, a young...woman arrived?
Mr. He said, "The third son instructed that we need female comrades. Let's get to know each other. This is Li Mei, and this is my daughter-in-law, Yun Jin."
Yun Jin shook hands with the spirited Li Mei; "Hello, hello, thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Looking at the delicate Yun Jin, Li Mei thought to herself, no wonder she was sent here, she does look very easy to deal with: "It's a piece of cake. I will only be responsible for your time to and from school. You can take care of the rest yourself."
Yun Jin nodded: "Thank you for your help!"
Li Mei didn't stand on ceremony and got on the bus with her, the two acting like schoolmates.
Upon arriving at the school, Li Mei watched her go to her classroom before getting into her car and heading to her work post. She left home an hour early to wait for Yun Jin at the school before she was dismissed.
Li Mei arrived about five minutes before Yun Jin was dismissed from school.
On the way back, Yun Jin saw a food stall and bought two portions to eat at home. She gave the other portion to Li Mei, who hesitated for a moment and said, "No need, I'll eat at home."
