“Xiao Ning, you finally woke up. You fainted suddenly and scared me to death. I quickly asked the train conductor for help. I finally got this bed and asked for medicine for you. I hope you’re fine.” Seeing Ye Ning open her eyes, Sun Yaojun quickly said.
Ye Ning glanced sideways at him. Although she fainted at that moment, she was still conscious. She knew that others were helping her, but this person never said a word from the beginning to the end.
She twitched the corner of her mouth and showed a weak smile, “I’m sticky, can you bring me a basin of hot water? I want to wipe myself and change my clothes.” Sun Yaojun immediately nodded and went out with the basin.
Looking at Sun Yaojun’s back, Ye Ning fell into deep thought. In the original body’s memory, on the first day she got on the train, Sun Yaojun euphemistically mentioned the compensation, saying that it was not safe to put it on her body. If it hadn’t been for the sudden fever, the original body would have died. So she gave him the money.
Thinking of this, Ye Ning quickly touched her chest. This was Ye Qingshan’s life-saving money. It would provide her with a stable life, food, clothing, and schooling for her two younger siblings. There was no room for any mistakes.
Ye Ning breathed a sigh of relief when she touched the small bag. She was afraid that Sun Yaojun would take advantage of her while she was unconscious. He probably thought that the original person would give it to him sooner or later, so he didn’t take action.
After a while, Sun Yaojun came back with water and said in a gentle tone, “Your fever has just gone away, and you are still weak now. How about I help you.”
Ye Ning glared at him pretending to be shy, “Get out quickly, I will do it myself.”
“Ok.”
The original person was not stupid enough, and no matter how much Sun Yaojun tried to coax her, she did not give him her body.
While changing clothes, Ye Ning opened the small bag and took a closer look. In addition to the compensation of 60,000 yuan, there was also the money that Ye Qingshan had sent back to his family. There were about 20 yuan in bits and pieces, and a few pieces of food stamps, and a few cloth stamps, which the original body saved to get a skirt for herself. There was also a small cloth bag in the bag. Ye Ning opened it and was shocked to see an emerald green jade bracelet, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold ring. Gold earrings and gold rings were nothing unusual, but this jade bracelet? Even though Ye Ning didn’t understand, she could still tell that it was high-quality jade, and she would definitely be able to buy a house in the future if she sold it.
Putting them together like this, wasn’t the original owner afraid of scratching the bracelet. Ye Ning took out the gold earrings and gold ring and carefully rewrapped the bracelet.
After searching her memory, she found that these were gifts given to the original person by Sun Yaojun. Sun Yaojun’s father used to be a small boss in the GW club. It was not surprising that he had these things. The original person was also considered a beauty from ten miles and eight villages and was a high school student. Not to mention the countryside, she had many suitors in the city, and Sun Yaojun had spent a lot of money to pursue her.
The money seemed to be a lot, but there were two younger siblings in the family who were in school. There was a lot of places to spend money. As for herself, it had been many years since she graduated from college. If she was asked to take the college entrance examination, it would cost her life. She would go back and tell the teacher that she wanted to graduate early. She believed the teacher would agree with their family’s current situation.
When the time came to find a job, she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. A high school diploma at this time should be quite valuable, and she didn’t know if she could find a decent job. When the time came, she would work in the city and bring Ye Gu to the city. The quality of teaching in the village would definitely not be as good as that in the city. The second sister, Ye Lan, was in the second grade of junior high school this year. She would also have to go to the city to study in high school next year. The house could not be too small, so it was best to buy one by herself, but no, the investment was too big. If the money ran out, what if something happened to the family in an emergency?
The more she thought about it, the more headache she got. She was the eldest daughter of the family, and her parents favoured her. Although her brother liked to tease her, he actually let her have her way in everything. She was almost thirty, except for being pressured by her parents to get married, there really was nothing else for her to worry about, but now a pair of younger siblings suddenly came to support her, and she became the backbone of the family. This pressure was really not ordinary.
Forget it, she would take one step at a time. Among all the people who transmigrated into books, she was off to a good start. At least she had a lot of money in her hand. She was already very lucky for someone like her whose family was ruined as soon as she opened her eyes.
“I’m ready, come in.” Ye Ning hid her bankbook and jewellery, shouted outside, and began to look at the place where she was resting. The room was very small, only about four or five square meters, with a bunk bed and two small bunks opposite the bed. There were only stools and a small table in the middle. It was very crowded and very plain, but this was on a train, and it was still a train in the early 1980s, so the conditions were considered very good.
“I went to get a pot of boiling water. Do you want some hot water?” Sun Yaojun put down the hot water bottle and sat on the bed opposite Ye Ning. “You look so ugly. You must not be well yet. I’ll ask if there is any porridge for you, and buy a bowl of porridge?”
Ye Ning glanced at Sun Yaojun, “Where would the porridge come from on the train?”
“Just because it’s not sold on the train doesn’t mean it’s not available.” Sun Yaojun approached Ye Ning and said softly: “The leader on the train can open a small stove. You should be able to buy it with a little money.”
“Isn’t it too troublesome?” They left in a hurry and didn’t prepare anything to eat. This body was sick again. They hadn’t eaten anything all day and night, and their stomachs felt like they were on fire. It would be nice to have a bowl of hot porridge.
“It’s okay. For your sake, this little trouble is nothing. You have a rest and I’ll buy you porridge.” He looked like he was willing to do anything as long as Ye Ning was good.
If she hadn’t read the book and knew the plot, Ye Ning would have thought that Sun Yaojun was gentle and considerate, and a person worth trusting for life.
It was a pity that it was all fake. Sun Yaojun was essentially a selfish person, and no one was as important to him other than himself. This man understood women’s hearts very well. He won’t reveal who he really was. He defrauded her of money and s*x, and even made her lose her life. There were two women and even a third in the book. They were all smart, beautiful and capable women, and they all liked him, but why did he fall in love with the heroine from a prominent family? Those chance encounters in the book, where the hero saved the beautiful girl, she thought it was a coincidence when she read it, but now when she thought about it again, it was just too much of a coincidence.
Including the death of the original person, there may be another reason. At least Ye Ning didn’t believe that she would die of depression. It didn’t make sense.
No matter what, she didn’t believe that Sun Yaojun was a gentleman. If nothing else, a gentleman would never bother with her compensation.
“I got a little hungry when you told me.” Ye Ning smiled. Now was not the time to fall out with him. In this era, it was not good for anyone to have a quarrel.
Although it was a parallel world, the overall historical development was similar. Ye Ning once heard her own grandmother say that in the early 1980s, the penalties were particularly severe, and thieves were likely to be killed, and those caught having s*x were also sentenced to prison. Yes, it was possible to be locked up for five or ten years. It seemed that a girl was arrested and sentenced to death for violating social morals because she wore a skirt that did not reach her knees. This was unimaginable in the future.
The situation she and Sun Yaojun were in now, if they encountered an unkind person, they would probably die.
After thinking about it for a while, she saw Sun Yaojun coming back with a bowl of porridge.
“I begged for a long time to buy it. Hurry up and eat something.” Sun Yaojun pursed his lower lip. He was very lucky just now. As soon as he arrived at the dining room, he walked up to the train conductor who was eating who not only gave him porridge, but also invited him to eat with him.
She glanced at him suspiciously. The original person might be deceived, but she would not. Sun Yaojun was too proud to ask for help.
No matter how he got it, this body was in urgent need of energy, so she had to eat it first.
After drinking the bowl of porridge, the feeling of panic gradually disappeared, and the whole person became energetic. Ye Ning carefully looked at Sun Yaojun while eating, and had to say that he did have the capital to be a male protagonist, with fair skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was very in line with the aesthetics of this time.
“Do you want more?” Sun Yaojun asked when he saw Ye Ning put down the bowl.
“No, I’m confused because of the fever. Have you eaten? I should have saved some for you just now.” Ye Ning said rather embarrassed.
“I’m not hungry, I just feel sorry for you.” Sun Yaojun raised his hand and touched Ye Ning’s forehead, “Hey, why is it still so hot? I’ll give you some medicine and then you can sleep.”
Ye Ning touched it. Her forehead was not hot, and she felt that she was getting better. “No, I’m much better. I’ll just take some cold medicine.”
“It’s still so hot. It’ll be better.” Sun Yaojun glanced outside and came closer.
Then he said in her ear: “You little fool, you don’t even know how to pretend. Once you recover, you have to go back to the hard-seat carriage. How comfortable is the bed now? I feel sorry for you. You just recovered. Please lie down.”
Ye Ning was stunned. She was pushed back to the bed by him, feeling that she wanted to continue occupying the bed.
“Isn’t this a guest bedroom?” How could there be a guest bedroom with this kind of configuration?”
“It’s the train conductor’s rest room. He’s very busy anyway and rarely comes back to rest. Just lie down peacefully.”
Ye Ning shook her head. That was not to mention occupying the bed. Working on the train was already hard work, even if the person was made of iron, he still needed to rest. She occupied the bed, so the train conductor had no room to rest. Besides, she couldn’t accept the kindness of others with peace of mind.
“I’ve been lying down for more than ten hours, and now my bones are hurting. I want to go out for a walk. You took care of me for the night, so you lie down and rest for a while.” Sun Yaojun was a little hesitant. He was really scared by Ye Ning last night on the train, if an accident really happened, he would be finished, so he took care of her very carefully last night, but now he was really tired.
“Then I’ll take a rest. Don’t go too far. Come back and wake me up when you’re tired.” Sun Yaojun lay down and fell asleep.
Ye Ning gently closed the door, and after walking a few steps, she bumped into the conductor and asked quickly: “Hello, comrade, how long will it take to get to the next stop?” Their hometown was Nanjiang Province, and Sun Yaojun’s relatives were in Yang Cheng, it took forty-two hours if you took the train. It had been a day and a night since she got on the train, and now she didn’t know where she was.
“We’ll be at the next station in more than an hour. What’s the matter?” The conductor looked at Ye Ning. “You are the girl who had a high fever and passed out last night. Are you better now?”
“Much better. Thank you so much.
“I would like to thank you for the help of the commander and all comrades, otherwise I am afraid it would have been a disaster.” Ye Ning said with sincere gratitude.
“You’re welcome, this is what we should do. The conductor has already told me that the bed will be reserved for you to recuperate, so there is no need to rush back to your seat.” The conductor said with a smile.
“That won’t work. The conductor is a nice person. I can’t ignore it. Now that I’m in good health, how can I occupy the conductor’s rest room? Well, I want to ask where the conductor is. I want to thank him in person.” Ye Ning thought. She wanted to meet this kind train conductor and see if she could get a return train ticket from him, otherwise it might be difficult for her to buy it on her own.
