Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 129 No Money
Yes, they are not bandits who rule the mountains. How could they rob passers-by in one place?

Hearing her say this, Wang Chunjuan felt a little relieved, but she was still worried, "But..."

"What else is there to worry about? Stop dawdling and get up and pack your things." Huang Lingyu urged impatiently again.

Wang Chunjuan felt a sharp pain in her chest after coughing lightly. She took a few breaths before she said weakly, "We need to settle the medical expenses we spent during this period before we are discharged from the hospital."

"Of course." Huang Lingyu nodded. It was only natural to spend money on hospitalization.

Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant, Wang Chunjuan simply said, "But we don't have money to pay the bill now."

"No money." Huang Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and the next second she almost jumped up, "No money, how could we be without money? Where is the money? Where did you get all the money?"

"Where did I…put the money?" Wang Chunjuan gasped. "You forgot, the reason my daughter and I were hospitalized was because we were robbed."

"Not only did they steal all our money, they also beat us up. I don't have any money left now. I don't have a penny in my pocket."

"Those damn highway robbers will one day be caught by the police and shot."

After cursing while panting, Wang Chunjuan felt that everything in front of her eyes was starting to go dark and her head was dizzy.

"Okay, what's the point of scolding now." Huang Lingyu felt a nameless anger in his heart, with his hands folded across his chest, pacing back and forth beside the bed in annoyance.

Wang Chunjuan closed her eyes and rested. That scolding she had just done had nearly killed her. She would not scold him again. The doctor said she needed to rest, and rest well.

Seeing Wang Chunjuan closing her eyes and preparing to go to sleep, Huang Lingyu's anger began to rise. She took several deep breaths to suppress her anger.

Huang Lingyu stopped and said, "Mom, don't go to sleep yet. The money and tickets we both had with us were stolen. What about the medical expenses and hospitalization fees we spent recently? Do you know who paid for us?"

Slowly opening her eyes, Wang Chunjuan said, "Your grandmother told me that it was Carpenter Chen from our village who brought us to the hospital, and he also paid for our medical expenses."

"After we are discharged from the hospital and return to the village, your father and I will take a thank-you gift to pay him back and thank him for sending us to the hospital."

"As you should." Huang Lingyu nodded in agreement. "If Carpenter Chen hadn't shown up in time to chase away the last two people, we wouldn't know what would have happened to you and me."

When Carpenter Chen appeared, Wang Chunjuan was seriously injured and fell into a coma, but she was conscious.

She clearly remembered that the men robbed the money and tickets, several of them left, and only two stayed.

Seeing that Wang Chunjuan fell into a coma, he still held her tightly under his body. After the two men dragged Wang Chunjuan away from her, the look in their eyes when they looked at her was so... so obscene and disgusting.

She was so scared that she was trembling all over and screamed for help in despair. If Carpenter Chen hadn't appeared, she didn't dare to imagine what she would have faced?
Those two bastards will definitely not let her go easily.

Wang Chunjuan was stunned and murmured, "Did... Carpenter Chen save us mother and daughter?"

"It was him. When he appeared, you were already in a coma and knew nothing. I was awake and saw Carpenter Chen rushing towards me with a wooden stick, and one of them knocked me unconscious." Huang Lingyu's face turned pale when he recalled how dangerous and desperate it was at that time.

She was truly desperate at the time, deeply regretting returning to the Huang family early to recognize her relatives and changing the trajectory of her previous life, which led to the robbery and the near-loss of her innocence. Looking at her daughter's pale face, Wang Chunjuan knew she was terrified and comforted her, saying, "Yu'er, don't be afraid. It's okay. We are both fine, mother and daughter."

"The fact that Carpenter Chen showed up to save us mother and daughter shows that we are blessed people. If we are in danger, someone will come to save us."

"Yes." Huang Lingyu nodded heavily. She had to admit that Wang Chunjuan's words comforted her. She felt that her rebirth was the best proof that she was a blessed person and could overcome danger.

Wang Chunjuan added, "Carpenter Chen saved us, mother and daughter. When we are discharged from the hospital and return to the village, your father and I will prepare some gifts to thank Carpenter Chen."

"It's my duty." Thinking of the difficult times that Carpenter Chen's family has faced over the past two years, Huang Lingyu said, "Mom, if possible, you and Dad should visit Carpenter Chen's family more often and build a good relationship with him."

In the past two years, Chen Mujiang's family has been very poor. Because they have many children and many people to feed, they often go hungry. In addition to working in the fields to earn work points, Chen Mujiang's family also makes a little money by making furniture for others.

Nowadays, villagers are lucky to have enough food to eat, so how can they afford to hire someone to make furniture?

You won’t die from having no furniture, but you will starve to death from having no food.

Carpenter Chen's family really started to make money in the early 1980s. All the men in the family had carpentry skills. I heard that they later opened a furniture factory and became very successful.

"Why?" Wang Chunjuan was puzzled. Carpenter Chen's family was too poor. Even if Carpenter Chen saved her and her daughter this time, the most he could do was send some gifts as a thank you.

Just maintain a good relationship.

Huang Lingyu couldn't reveal the secret, so she could only make up an excuse, "Carpenter Chen was able to beat off those two robbers. Next time we come to my grandmother's house in town, wouldn't it be safer to call Carpenter Chen with us?"

Wang Chunjuan thought about it and agreed very much. "You're right. Those people are really terrible. From now on, my daughter and I should never go out alone again, so as not to encounter such a terrible thing again."

"Yeah." Huang Lingyu replied softly. Without money to pay for medical expenses, the hospital would definitely not agree to discharge her. "Mom, you rest. I'll go back to the bed and sleep for a while."

Wang Chunjuan smiled and said okay. After closing her eyes, she was still thinking that her daughter cared about her and that she had misunderstood her daughter before.

Huang Lingyu walked back to his bedside dejectedly and sat down on it, but his thoughts drifted away.

While recuperating in the hospital these days, she thought about her past life experiences over and over again. The more she thought about it, the more frightened and uneasy she became. She wanted to go back to the village as soon as possible to take a look.

Maybe it was because of my rebirth that the trajectory of my previous life changed too much.

In her previous life, Mr. Tao accidentally killed someone while trying to protect her and was sent here for forced labor. She went to the countryside as an educated youth and accidentally met her biological mother, Wang Chunjuan.

She reunited with the Huang family two months later, by which time Mr. Tao had already passed away due to illness.

Seeing that she had no one to rely on in the village, Wang Chunjuan was afraid that she would be bullied by the villagers, so she told them about the incident of reporting the wrong child.

The situation was exactly the same as that day, and it was the captain and the team leader who decided that she and Tao Qiuyi would switch identities. She returned to the Huang family, and Tao Qiuyi was driven out by the Huang family. Unable to bear the blow, she jumped into the river and committed suicide.
