Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 509 Strange Visitor

Qin Wangshu and his group returned to Beijing in sleeper berths. Yang Mingye had a comrade-in-arms who was assigned to the railway bureau after being demobilized, and through his connections, they were able to get tickets to the same compartment.

After they settled in, Yang Mingye and Qin Jingchu prepared to get hot water while there were fewer people around.

Aunt Luo sat opposite Qin Wangshu, her gaze occasionally sweeping over Qin Wangshu's lower abdomen.

She thought of what her sisters-in-law and friends had said back home.

“Sister-in-law, Mingye and Qin Zhiqing are not young anymore, they need to hurry up and have a child.”

"Yes, I have some children's clothes. Take them home and put them under your pillow; they'll be very useful!"

"Now that the one-child policy is in effect, they can only have one child. If it's a girl, you should persuade them to have another one. Then they can send the firstborn back, and we can help take care of it." The first child hasn't even arrived yet, and they're already urging for a second one.

It seems like this is how it is after a wedding; everyone's attention is focused on the woman's belly. Fortunately, they owe Qin Wangshu a debt of gratitude, so no one has directly told Qin Wangshu yet.

Besides, they just got married, so it's not a big deal if they don't get pregnant in a short time. It's just that they're both busy and don't spend much time together, so they don't know when the baby will come.

Aunt Luo herself had been pressured to have a child, so she understood that kind of pressure. Moreover, she now had her own career and knew how important a career was for a woman. Right now was the busiest time for Qin Wangshu, and if she got pregnant now, it would cause a lot of trouble!

She hadn't gotten pregnant for two or three years after marrying into the Yang family, but she heard a lot of gossip. It wasn't until she gave birth to Mingye that the rumors stopped.

But after her husband passed away, many people said that she hadn't given birth to more children, leaving Mingye all alone without any siblings to take care of her.

Aunt Luo hadn't discussed the child with Qin Wangshu; it was a matter between the young couple. If she were pregnant, she would take good care of Wangshu and the child.

It's just tough on Wang Shu, as her husband can't always be by her side, and she has to work and take care of the children at the same time.

Qin Wangshu also noticed Aunt Luo's gaze directed at her, but she didn't care. Anyway, Aunt Luo would tell her what she wanted to say.

She took out some documents she was carrying with her. With the recent policies becoming more and more relaxed, she wanted to exchange her money for land, which would be very profitable whether she opened a factory or built a house.

In the future, all the corporations will have their own buildings, and she wants to build one for herself too.

A short while later, Qin Jingchu returned first. He put the hot water he had brought on the table and asked Aunt Luo if she wanted some water.

"No need, I'm not thirsty." Aunt Luo doesn't like to drink water while traveling, since going to the toilet is too inconvenient.

"Brother, pour me a cup, I'll make some tea." Qin Wangshu had two tea trees in her space. The yield wasn't much, but it was enough for the family. However, it seemed that she was the only one in the family who liked to drink tea.

Because of her past hardships, Aunt Luo craves sweet things to drink, usually opting for sugar water or honey. Yang Mingye and Qin Jingchu, on the other hand, prefer plain water. Therefore, only Qin Wangshu drinks the tea produced in the space.

"Okay!" Qin Jingchu took the cup that Qin Wangshu handed him. Tea leaves were already in the cup. He poured a cup for Qin Wangshu and placed it next to her.

The tea leaves in the cup released a fragrant aroma as they were agitated by the hot water, instantly filling the entire private room.

"I didn't notice it before, but I only realized how fragrant your tea is today in this private room. Do you have any more? I'll take some with me when I leave." Qin Jingchu had a boss who loved tea and treated him very well. Since his sister had such good tea, he naturally thought of taking some back for him to try.

"Okay, I'll pack it for you then." Qin Wangshu readily agreed.

A little while later, Yang Mingye returned with a lunchbox in his hand. "I heated up the food in the hot water room, so it's perfect to eat now."

Before they left, they prepared some convenient food and put it in a lunchbox, so they don't have to worry about it spoiling now that it's cold.

I placed the lunchboxes on the table and opened them one by one. Inside were steamed buns, mantou, sausages, and pickled vegetables.

Without further hesitation, everyone reached for the steamed buns in their lunchboxes. Although the train compartment wasn't cold, they figured if they didn't eat now, the buns would get cold soon.

Just as they began to eat, there was a knock on the closed door of the private room.

Yang Mingye was sitting on the outside, so he got up and opened the door, only to find a stranger standing there.

The man was about fifty years old, wearing a Zhongshan suit and glasses, and looked very refined.

"who are you looking for?"
