Become a burden in a period novel

On the bustling train platform, Qin Jingchu, with his tall stature and long legs, stood out conspicuously in the crowd.

Knowing that his younger sister would be spending the Lunar New Year in the south and that she was pregnant, he called his fifth uncle the next day to tell him that he wouldn't be returning to the old house.

Upon hearing that Qin Wangshu was pregnant, Xu Huaici was very excited and even wanted to come and spend the New Year with them. However, after his excitement subsided, he remembered that this was their first New Year since returning home, and they should stay at the old house.

And at the ancestral hall, they still need to keep the incense burning, and the ancestral worship on the first day of the Lunar New Year must be carried out on time. The ancestral worship has been suspended for many years, but since he has returned this year, it will definitely be held.

So she had to separate from Qin Jingchu and his sister. However, Xu Huaici still sent some things to Qin Wangshu through her assistant and asked someone to stay there to see if they could help.

The assistant Xu Huaici sent out was his long-time personal assistant, who was very capable and, of course, paid quite a bit.

Qin Jingchu arrived early this morning and waited at the train station. Since Qin Wangshu was unable to come, he came to pick up Aunt Luo.

Qin Wangshu bought a sleeper ticket for Aunt Luo and even arranged for someone to bring her over. The person who brought her over was someone Qin Jingchu knew and was very trustworthy.

After getting up in the morning, Aunt Luo went to the restroom to wash up, and then went with her bodyguard to the dining car to buy breakfast. She didn't have anything valuable in her luggage, so she just left it in the private room.

She carried all her valuables with her. After having a peaceful breakfast in the dining car, they returned to their private room.

"The South is warmer than Beijing; we can't even wear these cotton-padded coats anymore." They had changed into lighter clothes at the previous stop.

"That's why Teacher Qin asked you to spend the New Year with her in the South." The bodyguard accompanying Aunt Luo was named Cheng Yong. He had retired from the military because he was unable to hold a gun due to a hand injury.

He was originally farming at home, but Qin Jingchu contacted him to come over. He was reluctant to come and trouble Qin Jingchu, but Qin Jingchu told him that he was worried about his sister's safety and wanted to find some trustworthy people to protect her.

I contacted him because I trusted him.

Cheng Yong packed up and came over. Later, not only did he come, but he also brought his wife with him.

Now he helps Qin Wangshu look after the small factory in Beijing, and his wife works at Aunt Luo's clothing factory. Their combined wages are enough for their family to survive in Beijing. Even their daughter is attending kindergarten in Beijing, something they never dared to dream of before.

The couple's current plan is to save money together to buy an apartment in Beijing and settle down there. Qin Wangshu had offered to lend them money to buy a house so they could transfer their household registration to Beijing, but Cheng Yong refused.

He felt he already owed the Qin siblings a lot, so he decided to work hard. Now they had saved up most of their money, and Qin Wangshu would give him a travel allowance and bonus for this business trip, so they could go house hunting when they got back.

“That’s true. I heard from Wang Shu that there’s a lot of fruit here. You should buy more when you go back.” After Cheng Yong dropped her off in Guangzhou, he could go back.

There are quite a few people here. Qin Wangshu has a factory here, so there's no need to worry about safety.

Sigh, the security situation is still too bad. Although she always travels in sleeper berths, she has heard that thefts and even human traffickers frequently occur in the hard seat areas.

"Of course, my daughter has never tasted southern fruits before!" Cheng Yong's smile was gentle when he mentioned his child.
