Who wouldn’t want a courtyard house?
When the ti cos, when the price goes up, Zhao Weihong plans to sell this courtyard and buy a villa on Hong Kong Island.
Wouldn’t that make her seem more valuable? Would she still have to fear being looked down upon by wealthy families then?
She is the wealthy one!
Imagination is beautiful, reality is always stark.
In her previous life, Zhao Weihong was just an ordinary person, just like 90% of ordinary people, she couldn’t even perform a basic self-defense move, let alone navigate the train compartnt with difficulty now.
Struggling to squeeze through the crowd, her strength was already limited, making it even more difficult this ti.
Moreover, there were mostly tall n standing, and despite her peeking around like a thief the whole way, she was too short to clearly see both sides of the seats, and couldn’t figure out which compartnt she was in.
In the scorching heat, despite the evening breeze cooling down, it couldn’t penetrate at all.
She felt like a pickled vegetable, drenched in sweat, moving from one compartnt to another without losing a single drop.
Zhao Weihong was extrely frustrated—
She wanted to make a big score before leaving, why was it so impossible?
The heavens were too harsh on her, a reincarnated person.
Without accumulating so capital—although it couldn’t be cashed in imdiately, how difficult would it be for her to go to Hong Kong Island alone?
The man beside her silently followed, without anyone noticing.
At this mont, standing at the entrance of another compartnt, watching Zhao Weihong wandering aimlessly inside, he felt a bit anxious, wondering if they would take advantage of the dense crowd to secretly pass ssages to each other.
And then, unintentionally scanning the surroundings, his eyes t with a dark-skinned girl.
Her clear eyes stared at him for a mont, and in that instant, the man’s hairs stood on end.
But soon, she said sothing to the grandmother holding her grandson opposite, and a gentle smile appeared on the grandmother’s face, as if it was just an ordinary family.
anwhile, Zhao Weihong was still squeezing through.
...
Chu River smiled at the grandmother, purely because, in just a mont, her skinny son ca back with a boy about six or seven years old:
"Mom, the next station is coming soon. I’ll take Dani, and you take these two boys, and we’ll get off."
The grandmother looked extrely kind.
Reaching out to hold the child in her arms, hugging one with each arm, seeing the child’s face sleeping so rosy, her love seed to overflow.
"Okay, okay, once we get off with the crowd, we’ll wait at the platform, let’s not get separated."
The skinny young man laughed: "No rush, I’ll wait for you at the train door then, otherwise, it’s too tiring for you to hold both boys, Mom."
The mother and son shared a smile, understanding each other.
Chu River found it quite interesting.
"Is this also your grandson?"
She proactively talked to the grandmother.
The grandmother looked satisfied: "Yes, he’s our family’s treasure."
Chu River chuckled.
...
She stood up proactively: "Big brother, I see you’re tired carrying the child around, why don’t you take this seat for a while?"
"Otherwise, it will be a hassle getting off the train later."
This was true.
Getting on and off the train those days was like going to war, cramming people into compartnts was common.
The skinny young guy didn’t manage to buy a seat ticket, standing all the way, enduring all the hardships. He wasn’t like the grandmother, who comfortably sat the whole way, and was now tempted.
"Ah, that’s really kind of you."
"It’s okay."
Chu River was particularly generous: "I just love kids. In such hot weather, holding a child is too warm, bring the girl over to sit here."
The grandmother looked at her, thinking she was right, this girl’s weakness was children.
Despite her sharp words earlier, she couldn’t help but lt at the sight of kids.
This was great, they could leave the train together, and she’d find her a good match, ensuring she had plenty of kids of her own later.
She nodded: "Son, it’s fine, bring the child here to sit. This spot is closer to the train door, we can easily get off together later."
The kid was cunning, and a grandmother holding two heavy little boys was certainly exhausting.
Hearing his mother’s words, the skinny young man quickly nodded: "Alright, then, thank you very much, sister."
Saying that, he turned back into the crowd, twisting left and right nimbly, and soon returned holding another sleeping girl.
