Chapter 249: No Hardship

I just slept for ten hours, and after eating something in the middle of the night, I was completely awake. It was still too early for dawn, and there was nothing to see outside, so the two of them could only sit there.

They were so bored that they just started chatting with the driver outside.

The driver was only in his twenties and was recruited by Jiang's company, so he didn't know much about what was happening outside.

However, the young man was quite talkative, had an active mind, and had many wild ideas, which the two of them found quite interesting to listen to.

After talking for about half an hour, the two felt sleepy again, and the driver could probably hear the sleepiness in their voices.

"Madams, if you are tired, you can take a nap. I will call you when we get to the post station."

"It's uncomfortable to sleep while sitting. Well, let's talk for a while. Maybe we'll be too sleepy and fall asleep easily." Zheng Yuan said while yawning.

"Why do you want to sleep while sitting?" The driver outside suddenly raised his voice, very confused.

"If we don't sleep sitting down, do we have to lie on the car floor?" Zheng Yuan was confused by what was said.

"But why can't we sleep on the carriage floor if we have a quilt?" the driver became even more confused.

The two looked around and even felt around, but couldn't find where the quilt was hidden.

"Quilt? Where is the quilt?"

"It's right under the carriage. Didn't Manager Ji tell you?" The driver simply stopped the carriage.

"Madams, please come out first. I'll go in and help you get it out."

"to make."

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin got off the carriage dejectedly and watched the coachman get into the carriage.

"click"

It was too dark and the two of them didn't see clearly how he operated it, but they saw a box appear under the carriage, filled with thick bedding.

"Okay, ma'am, you guys go up."

The driver took out the quilt and came out quickly without any unnecessary movements.

The two got into the carriage and suddenly laughed while hugging the quilt.

I didn't tell them about the quilt earlier, which made them sleep so uncomfortably while sitting. But I think people who come here often know that there is a secret compartment for the quilt, so I don't think it's necessary to tell them specifically.

Who would have thought that they could actually sit and sleep for more than ten hours? They are the typical example of trying to endure hardship.

They didn't know if the driver would laugh at them behind their backs. It was really embarrassing.

The most important thing is that when they hid the money at the beginning, they searched everywhere and didn't find this secret compartment. It seems that they failed to hide the money.

Anyway, it’s good to have a quilt.

The two of them hurriedly made their own small beds. In addition to bedding, there were two thick straw mats. After laying them out, it was not so uncomfortable to lie down.

Almost as soon as they lay down, they fell asleep.

They didn't sleep for long this time. They woke up when they felt the sunlight coming through the window and shining on their faces.

After tidying up the bedding, I opened the curtain and looked outside. It was around 9 o'clock.

"Master, how long will it take to get to the next post station?" Duan Minmin asked.

After a night, the stomach is full again.

"Madam, it's still far away. I estimate it will arrive at 3 pm."

so far?

As if knowing what they were thinking, the coachman stopped the carriage steadily.

"Madams, you can come down and rest for a while."

The two of them silently praised him for his ability to read people's expressions.

After getting off the car, the two of them headed straight for the bushes. At this point, they couldn't choose any environment. Besides, being in the wild was actually much better than that dry toilet.

After solving their physiological problems, the two returned to the carriage. The carriage behind them also followed, and several coachmen were leaning against the carriage and talking.

Seeing the two men coming back, they went into the woods in another direction.

It’s still early when we get to the next station, so we must have this breakfast.

Zheng Yuan climbed onto the carriage and handed the dry food that Taoer had prepared for them to Duan Minmin. The two of them found a flat place and laid out the things.

When the drivers came back, they invited them to come over and eat something. The food Taoer prepared was enough for them to have seven or eight meals, just enough for so many people.

At first, the driver was abiding by the rules and refused to come over, saying that he had brought dry food. It was only after the two men insisted that he came over.

Although the things Tao'er prepared were already cold, the fragrance still wafted away when they were opened, and everyone couldn't help but sip.

Duan Minmin distributed pancakes to several people and asked them to help themselves. I don't know if it's because we are in the wild, but the mint ribs, spicy chicken and pancakes are really delicious.

"The two ladies have really good cooking skills." A driver picked up a piece of spicy chicken and praised sincerely.

"This is not made by us. Our eldest daughter prepared it specially for us." Duan Minmin said proudly.

"Oh, you two ladies are so lucky. The girl is so filial and has such good cooking skills."

"That's right, no wonder you guys were able to leave your home and come out, it turns out your kids are capable."

The drivers were tempted by their soft words and naturally said nice things to them.

Although they were not praised, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin felt relieved to hear it, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.

Seeing how easy-going they were, the drivers also relaxed and started chatting with each other.

He told them the rules of the carriage and horse business, how he wanted to be a horseman, and finally told them in detail where his home was and how many people were in his family.

After breakfast, everyone packed up and continued on their journey.

After getting in the car and calming down, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin thought about what they had just said about family matters. Their minds drifted back to their home, and they didn't know how things were going at home.

But something really happened at home.

The scene of them saying goodbye at the workshop door yesterday was seen by Old Lady Zhao who had been following them early in the morning. When she saw them leave the village, she hurried back home.

When Zhao Yuanxi heard that they had left the village, he could no longer sit still. He wanted to take this opportunity to go to Duan Minmin's house and make a scene to get the children to give him money.

It was Zhao Yuannan who stopped the family who were about to make a move.

After all, Mrs. Zhao was standing quite far away and didn't hear clearly where they were going. What if they were just going to the city and coming back in the evening, and bringing those Jiang's people with them? That would be asking for trouble.

It would be better to wait for another day. If they don’t come back tomorrow, they will go to the house and block those little girls.

Old Mrs. Zhao always listened to her youngest son's words. She thought it made perfect sense, so she gave up the idea and prepared to go check it out again the next day.

Zhao Yuanxi couldn't stand the fact that his mother listened to his fourth brother in everything. Seeing that Zhao Yuannan changed her mind with just a few words again, he was so angry that he was jumping up and down but there was nothing he could do, because his parents were the head of the family.

According to his idea, he would just go to the door while they were not at home. There would be no way those little girls could do anything about it.

Even if the widow came back, could she do anything to their family?

But no one ever listened to his ideas, so he could only return to his room in frustration.

The family waited anxiously for a whole night, and when they saw that they really didn't come back, they were so excited that they went to Duan Minmin's home at dawn.

I was thinking of blocking these girls at home and asking them to hand over the money in their homes. It would be best if I could ask them to move some goods from the workshop and sell them in the city.

They heard that each small jar cost dozens of coins, so how much money would that be?
