Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 243 Still Not Gone

After Qin Wangshu arrived at the post office, he took out the receipt and picked up two packages.

She looked at the addresses on the packages. One was from Zhou Hongying, and the other was from a military camp, so it should be from Qin Jingchu.

What Zhou Hongying sent her should be the specialty of her school. She had told her about it in a letter before. As for what Qin Jingchu sent, Qin Wangshu couldn't guess.

"These two packages are quite heavy. Did you ride your bike here?" The staff member asked with concern when he saw that it was a girl coming to pick them up.

"It's okay, I can carry it." Qin Wangshu took the packages one by one.

She picked up the two packages, which were indeed heavy, but still within her reach. Then she walked out of the post office with the packages. After leaving the post office, Qin Wangshu still felt a little uncomfortable, as if someone was staring at her with malicious eyes.

It seems that the man has not left yet. Qin Wangshu doesn't know why these people are so bold. This is Beijing City, and it is not a remote place. Aren't they afraid of being discovered?

Qin Wangshu, with the attitude of "less trouble is worse than more trouble", turned around and prepared to go to the bus stop to wait for the bus to come.

She either stayed in the rented house or in school, so these people had no chance to attack her. She would go back to school tomorrow and would not go out again.

It’s just that she didn’t intend to care about that person, but the old lady didn’t think of letting Qin Wangshu go.

This girl is so beautiful, it would be a pity to sell her. You know, those who sell their wives are those who can't find a wife.

What kind of people can't find a wife? They are either poor, ugly, or old and ugly! Those who can save enough money to buy a wife must be quite old. After buying a wife, they spend all their savings. They must want to use this wife to make back their "investment".

She knew what kind of life the girls she sold lived, but this was a no-cost business. As long as she made a few orders a year, it would be enough to support her family.

The place where she married was very poor, and she couldn't support her family even if she worked hard on the farm all year round. If she hadn't started this business, her family probably wouldn't have had enough dry food to eat all year round, let alone meat.

How could the people in the village not know what she was doing? If not, where did their wives come from?

It’s just because everyone is a beneficiary, so no one speaks up.

The girl was so good that she was reluctant to sell her to those old bachelors in the mountains. It would be better to keep her for her son, who is now 28 or 29 years old.

Her son is not married yet. She is in this business herself and is afraid of retribution, so she doesn't let her son get involved.

However, the mother earned a lot and gave her money generously, so her son never suffered any hardship since he was a child. Although he was a villager, his clothes and things were almost the same as those of people in the city.

Even now, at the age of 27 or 28, he is still unwilling to go out to work and just wants to live off his parents at home.

The woman has always indulged her son, thinking that she has a lot of money and that the money is enough to ensure that her son will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Well, her son is already 27 or 28 years old, and he has never thought of bringing a girl home. But their family lives in the countryside, so it is normal for her son to look down on the women around him.

It's not like there are people in the surrounding villages who like her son, but her son is not willing to go on blind dates, and she is busy and has no time to arrange it for him. As for his father, as a man, he has no such intention.

So her son was delayed like this. Now that her son has grown up, it’s time for him to find a daughter-in-law to give her a grandson.

This time, she fell in love with Qin Wangshu because she thought that Qin Wangshu was not only smart and beautiful, but also a nice person, not to mention that she was a college student!

Only such a person can be worthy of her son, and she believes that her son will be moved when he sees such a woman. Even she, a woman, thinks Qin Wangshu is good-looking, and she believes that her son will be very satisfied.

What man doesn't like beautiful women? Her son is a normal person, so he likes her too.

Qin Wangshu could only be sold for a few dollars, and she didn't need the money. If she was left to her son, with her smart brain that could get her into college, she could definitely give her grandchildren a smart and flexible brain.

It would be even better if her grandchildren could also be admitted to university. Thinking about the future, she was even more satisfied with Qin Wangshu as a candidate.

She had never thought about whether Qin Wangshu was willing, nor had she thought about if Qin Wangshu had his own family and how her family would collapse when they found out Wangshu was missing.

How can these human traffickers have the kind of empathy and compassion that can empathize with others?

As for whether they are willing or not, there are so many wives who came to the village. Many of them were unwilling at first, but after they became pregnant, they all lived obediently.

In the past, life was hard and people were cheap. A bag of millet or a few rabbits could be exchanged for a woman. Later, the bride price became more and more expensive. In remote and poor places, even if the bride price was offered, not many people were willing to marry into poverty.

They could only think of ways outside. Later, most of the women who were taken there accepted their fate, and if they gave birth to children, they could live a more stable life.

She believed that as long as Qin Wangshu became pregnant, she would live peacefully with her son like those people.

Since she had set her eyes on Qin Wangshu, she didn't want to miss out. So when she saw Qin Wangshu on the bus, she followed her off the bus and waited outside the post office for her to come out.

Thinking that he would soon find a daughter-in-law that suited his heart, he could not help but feel even more fortunate that he had not prepared to leave Beijing. Where else could he find such an excellent girl except in Beijing!

Moreover, this girl is not a local. Even if she disappeared, her family probably wouldn’t find out quickly. By the time her school finds out something is wrong, they would have already left Beijing.

When you think about it this way, these college students are really the best “goods”!

After doing this, they can also turn their attention to these college students.

She hid in the dark, looking at Qin Wangshu who was standing on the platform holding a package and waiting for the bus. He looked so handsome. Her son would definitely like him!

Then she saw the package in Qin Wangshu's arms. This should be sent to her by her relatives. It seems that her relatives value her very much, and the conditions are not bad.

If she gave birth to a child in the future, she would not be unable to contact her relatives. She was thinking far ahead. Her relatives valued her so much, as long as she accepted her fate and lived a good life with her son, could her relatives not recognize the child she gave birth to?

In this way, Qin Wangshu became more and more satisfied in her eyes.

Fortunately, Qin Wangshu didn't know about her plans. If he knew, he would definitely laugh at her wishful thinking!

Qin Wangshu walked all the way to the platform without that gaze disappearing. She held the package in her hands and gently stroked the outer cover of the package.

She was sure it was directed at her.

It was just that this was her first time in Beijing, and she didn’t do anything after arriving. She stayed in school after the semester started, and she didn’t offend anyone. So who was this person who was staring at her, and what was his purpose?

With the space in hand, Qin Wangshu was not worried about his own safety, but being watched by others all the time was not a good thing.

After waiting for a while, the bus finally arrived. Qin Wangshu got on the bus holding her package. After she got on, an old lady caught up with the bus at a relatively fast speed and got on the bus very nimbly.

At this time, Qin Wangshu had already walked to an empty seat and sat down. After getting on the bus, the old lady did not sit close to Qin Wangshu, but sat on the other side. She thought Qin Wangshu did not notice her.

After all, she changed her clothes and combed her hair again. She didn't think Qin Wangshu, who just met her by chance, would be able to find her.

But in fact, Qin Wangshu noticed her as soon as she got on the car. Qin Wangshu had a good memory. What's more, the old lady was sitting next to her and talking to her just now. How could she not remember her face at such a close distance?

Seeing that this person had followed her again, Qin Wangshu could confirm that this person was indeed coming for her.

Qin Wangshu didn't look over there, but just continued to look out the window, as if he didn't notice the existence of this person.

She kept observing the old lady out of the corner of her eye and saw that the old lady was always paying attention to her movements. Every time she made a big movement, she would look over at her.

It seems that the person who has been staring at him is this person. Who is this person? What is his purpose for him? Qin Wangshu felt that his safety was threatened by such a person staring at him.

The bus stopped and started, and finally arrived at Qin Wangshu's destination. Qin Wangshu picked up his package and got off the bus, and the old lady followed Qin Wangshu out of the bus.

After Qin Wangshu got out of the car, she put the package on the ground and adjusted her posture. During this time, she saw the old lady following her again.

He left the package at the gate, showed his student ID to the gatekeeper, and then entered the school.

The guard did not follow the old lady, and Qin Wangshu stayed in the school for more than half an hour. When she felt that the old lady was no longer at the door, she walked out of the school and took the package from the guard.

Just now, Qin Wangshu met a familiar classmate in school.

Thinking about the weight of his two packages, he felt that he might not be able to carry the packages from school to the rented house by himself.

"Han Ying, are you free right now? Please do me a favor."

"I don't really have anything to do at the moment. Is there anything I can help you with?" Han Ying had just come out of the library and was about to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

She and Qin Wangshu were not classmates in the same department, but their dormitories were on the same floor, so they saw each other every day, so they had a good relationship.

"I have two packages that have arrived. Please help me take them back. I will treat you to a meal."

"Going back to the dormitory?" Han Ying asked.

"I'm not going back to the dormitory. I have a lot of stuff and the dormitory can't put it all. I rented a house outside before and I haven't moved out yet. Can you help me send it to the rental house?"

"No problem. Is it expensive to rent a house outside?" Han Ying casually put her books into her bag and prepared to go to the security guard with Qin Wangshu to get the package.

"It's not expensive, but I rented a house near the school. It's cleaner and just a little more expensive than other places."

Professor Cen is not short of money and her house is well preserved. The reason she rents out the house is that she is the only one living there and her children are a little worried about her, so they let her rent out the house.

At that time, she was still very selective when renting out the house, so the house had never been rented out. Later, the college entrance examination was resumed, and many students came here. Yang Mingye found the place, and she nodded and agreed to rent the house to her after seeing Qin Wangshu.

"Why? Do you want to rent a house too?"

"I have this idea." The situation at her home is a bit special, so she doesn't really want to go home during the holidays.

When she heard about the house Qin Wangshu rented outside, she suddenly had this idea. If she rented a house here and lived there during the holidays, she could also see if she could find a job in Beijing during the holidays.

“Then when you accompany me there later, you can ask if there are any houses for rent nearby. If nothing else, almost all the people living there are teachers from the school. If nothing else, at least safety can be guaranteed.” This was also the reason why Yang Mingye found this place for himself to live in.

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look in a bit."

They walked to the guard post together, then each picked up a package and walked out.

When Qin Wangshu and Han Ying went out together, he no longer felt that kind of look.

They walked and talked all the way, and when they arrived at the rented house, Han Ying greeted Professor Cen and then went into Qin Wangshu's room.

After looking at the room, Han Ying insisted on her idea of ​​renting a house. The biggest problem was finding a suitable house.

"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner." Qin Wangshu greeted Han Ying.

"No need, it's just a small matter." Han Ying waved her hand.

"I haven't eaten yet, let's go together." Qin Wangshu took Han Ying out. When they got outside, he told Professor Cen that he and Han Ying were going out to eat and would be back soon.

"Okay, I'll leave the door open for you." Professor Cen said with a smile.

Qin Wangshu took Han Ying to a state-owned restaurant. They each ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles, and after eating, they separated at the entrance of the restaurant.

Qin Wangshu agreed to help Han Ying keep an eye out for suitable houses for rent here, and also agreed to let her visit her often.

After coming out of the state-owned hotel, Qin Wangshu felt someone was looking at her again.

She looked around under the cover of tying her shoelaces, but did not see the face, so she could only continue walking towards the rented house.

This road is full of prosperous places, and even if the man wanted to take action, he wouldn't find an opportunity, so she could move forward with peace of mind.

In fact, she was a little suspicious that she had overreacted and that no one was following her. But as she continued to walk forward, she realized that she was not overreacting and that someone was really following her.
