Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies-Chapter 94 - 92: Snatched a Spot?

Qin Yu originally wanted to say there was no need to buy food.

When the time came, he could just make do with something on the train—starving wasn’t a new experience for him.

But thinking that his opinion wouldn’t make a difference, and realizing that if he didn’t eat, would his sister-in-law be able to refrain? Making himself go hungry was one thing, but the thought of making his sister-in-law go hungry made him uncomfortable, so he nodded, "Okay."

"Don’t go anywhere, if something happens..." Rong Yan’s voice abruptly stopped because she remembered this wasn’t modern times.

Should human traffickers appear, a slight-looking boy would be no match for them.

"Forget it, let’s go together later, we’ll store our things first."

Qin Yu didn’t mind and actually let out a sigh of relief when he heard they would go together.

After all, this was his first time traveling far from home, and he was a bit anxious.

He’d only been bluffing just now.

After a quick nod, he carried the parcels with him to the storage area.

But when he learned that storage cost money, his whole being turned sour, and he bristled, "What? It costs money, and a whole dime? No, we’re not storing anything."

Store my foot, a dime, why don’t they just rob us?

"Big sister-in-law, you go ahead, I’ll stay here. It’s all the staff from here around, I’ll be fine."

He’d rather carry the stuff himself all the way!

Rong Yan still felt it was better to have him under her watch.

After all, in the original book, Qin Mei had been abducted by traffickers and seemed to never be found after that.

She couldn’t be careless.

She handed over a dime directly.

"Comrade, we want to store these, please write us a receipt."

Qin Yu: ...

If he could, he really wanted to snatch back that dime.

Forget it, he pretended he hadn’t seen it!

He immediately turned his head away.

Rong Yan glanced at his tightly drawn profile and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

This kid was truly a penny-pincher.

She quickly took the receipt that was written out.

"Let’s go!"

"... Yeah." Qin Yu followed with his head down, not in high spirits, as he was still mourning the lost dime.

That dime could have bought him a full meal.

Seeing his dejected look, Rong Yan couldn’t bear to watch.

She reached out and patted the back of his head, "Money is something you can’t bring into this world and can’t take out of it when you die. You should spend it when you need to... Besides, money is earned, not saved. Don’t worry about that dime anymore, let’s go buy some more things, that’s what’s urgent."

Qin Yu: ...

He didn’t agree with his sister-in-law’s words.

Was money that easy to earn these days?

If it was, his family wouldn’t have nearly starved to death in the past few years.

But of course, he didn’t dare to object.

And, partly because of her words, he wasn’t as gloomy as before.

"Ah, it’s a pity the ox cart just left, otherwise we could have hitched a ride," Rong Yan sighed.

It would probably take at least ten minutes to walk from the train station to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Qin Yu: ...

It was such a short distance; what was there to hitch a ride for? His sister-in-law was really delicate.

"... How about I carry you?"

When Rong Yan heard this offer, she burst into laughter, "With that small frame, you want to carry me?"

This comment made Qin Yu unhappy. He straightened, "What about me? I’m strong."

Rong Yan made a "tsk" sound, "The only one who can carry me is your big brother."

This shut Qin Yu up; he had just blurted it out in haste.

As the aunt and nephew approached the state-owned restaurant’s entrance, "I’ll go buy some food; stay here and wait for me. Remember, don’t wander off."

Qin Yu: ...

I’m already twelve, don’t I know that?

Nevertheless, he obediently nodded his head.

Once Rong Yan was inside, she ordered rice and some meat dishes directly, and noticing meat buns were also available, she bought twenty of them.

Because of the large bag’s cover, she neatly stored all the food into the space.

She came out half an hour later.

"Let’s go! I’ve got another errand to run."

Qin Yu did not ask any questions and followed her.

Rong Yan relied on her previous memory to find a particular house.

Looking at the house number, she felt certain it was the place.

Just as she was about to knock, the door inside suddenly opened.

Sun Mei did not expect to see her benefactor and was immediately overjoyed, "Benefactor comrade, what brings you here today?"

"Don’t call me benefactor, my name is Rong Yan. Here’s the thing, I have some family matters and need to head back to the city; it might be awhile before I can return. Don’t wait for me on Chinese New Year’s Eve, if I do come back, I’ll drop by your place."

She had only remembered this matter when she stepped out of the state-run restaurant.

After giving it some thought and having some free time, she decided to come and inform them so the mother and daughter wouldn’t be left waiting in vain.

Sun Mei hadn’t expected it to be this matter and immediately responded, "We’ll be fine. Your matters are more important."

This was truly a good person; she had even made a special trip just to tell them.

Sun Mei was deeply moved by her kindness.

"Well then, we’re heading off," Rong Yan said to Qin Yu.

The two of them then turned and left.

Qin Yu was a bit curious, but he did not voice his question.

The two returned to the train station, picked up their tickets and claimed their parcels.

"The train will be here soon. Remember, stick close to me," Rong Yan instructed, not quite assured.

She had never had to worry about such things before, but now... she felt a bit like an old mother hen.

Qin Yu nodded firmly; he was all tensed up, more nervous than he had ever been.

Rong Yan handed him the lighter luggage.

It wasn’t really much; the heaviest part was the bag of wild goods purchased from the team leader’s wife.

She shouldered that bag herself.

She glanced down at her own appearance... the corner of her mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Did she now look like a migrant worker heading to the city?

She never imagined her usually glamorous self would experience such a day... perhaps in her previous life, she really had lacked in major virtues.

Not long after, Qin Yu heard the train’s whistle; he became excited, "The, the train is coming."

"Yes, in a moment, you get on first, and I’ll follow behind," Rong Yan said, not too long after her words fell.

The train rolled in and came to a stop.

She wasn’t in a hurry to board the train, waiting until most people had disembarked before nudging the stiff Qin Yu, "Let’s go! It’s time to get on."

Qin Yu instantly snapped back to reality, then squeezed onto the train.

"The seats are over there," Rong Yan spotted their location quickly.

The two squeezed down the aisle together.

Then, Rong Yan checked the train tickets and confirmed these were their seats.

However, a burly middle-aged man and a somewhat mean-looking old woman were sitting there.

Clearly, a mother and son were occupying their seats.

Seeing his sister-in-law stop here, Qin Yu naturally stood by her side.

His little brain wasn’t slow to realize that these two were in their seats. He immediately tensed up.

Rong Yan, noticing the two faking ignorance, did not bother to be polite; she raised the train tickets in her hand.

"Comrade, would you mind moving? You’re in our seats."
