She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 109 Drinking Too Much

Leng Yunting still looked as upright as ever, but the bloodshot eyes were clearly visible.

"You didn't sleep all night, why didn't you get some more sleep?" Qin Yan asked, a little worried.

"Mom, I want to go out."

Where are you going so early in the morning?

"I need to go to Jiangcheng."

Qin Yan asked, puzzled, "What are you going to Jiangcheng for? Could it be that Yiyi went to Jiangcheng?"

Leng Yunting shook his head. "I'll try my luck. I heard that someone who looks like Yiyi bought a train ticket to Jiangcheng."

"Really? Who told you that? I asked your two older brothers, and they both said they haven't seen Yiyi either."

"I'm not sure either. Let me go check it out first! What if it is?"

Leng Yunting didn't actually know where Liu Jingyi had gone, but he wouldn't give up as long as there was even the slightest clue.

Qin Yan looked at her son, not daring to say anything more. She felt that her son was standing on the edge of a cliff, and she was afraid that if she said a few more words, he would be pushed off and never be able to get up again.

Qin Yan told herself, "Let him be!"
As Leng Yunting stepped out the door, he ran into his older brother.

"What are you going to do looking like that?"

"I'm going to Jiangcheng."

Leng Yunfeng frowned and asked, "Did your wife go to Jiangcheng?"

"Not sure, I'll go check it out."

Leng Yunfeng couldn't understand his younger brother's immature behavior.

Of course, we need to find the person, but is it necessary to go in person?
It not only wastes time, but also wastes energy.

"Do you really insist on going by yourself? What if it's not possible?"

"Brother, you don't understand."

"Of course, I don't understand."

Leng Yunfeng had no interest in marriage or a wife. He once thought that his younger brother's marriage had saved him a lot of trouble.

That way, even if I don't get married in the future, my parents won't say anything, since the Leng family will have someone to carry on the family line.

Leng Yunting didn't offer any explanation and got on the bus to the train station.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, the train station was packed with people.

Leng Yunting boarded the train, and there were even more people there, with people even filling the aisle.

Not to mention the taste.

A dozen hours in a hard seat is nothing to him, but it's still hard for most people, let alone for Liu Jingyi, a pregnant woman.

He stared silently out the window, his expression as still as a stagnant pool.

The train was full of fellow villagers traveling together for the Spring Festival, or couples with their families.

Leng Yunting looked at the scene before him, his eyes stinging, and he felt his head throbbing even more.

Sitting opposite him was a young couple.

The two looked like they were going out for the first time, and they were quite timid, not daring to leave their seats casually, for fear of losing their belongings.

However, the two seemed to have a very good relationship, which made Leng Yunting quite envious.

He now harbors immense resentment towards himself, even though he knows perfectly well that their relationship wasn't based on pure motives.

Why does he insist on getting angry with her? He knows how difficult things are for her right now, yet he keeps making her cry.

Leng Yunting's resentment and stubborn desire for her wholehearted love were all gone. Now, all he wanted was to find her as soon as possible and bring her home.

Looking out the window, Leng Yunting thought of her all alone out there, without family or friends, and the grievances and sadness she felt when she left, which made him feel breathless.

After renting a place, Liu Jingyi settled down smoothly in Yuncheng. With the end of the year approaching and her belly heavily pregnant, she didn't think about looking for a job.

Liu Jingyi tidied up little by little every day, and after half a month, she finally managed to clean up the small courtyard.

Liu Jingyi had just bought the pots, pans, and other utensils. Since she had bought quite a lot of things, Xiao Li from the supply and marketing cooperative kindly returned them all to her.

Even the honeycomb briquettes were bought and delivered to her by Xiao Li.

Liu Jingyi was very grateful; she never expected to meet such kind people in Yuncheng.

What she didn't know was that Chen Xingjie had all of this done by his men.

Yuncheng is a small city in the north. It has been snowing for days and the weather is very cold. Liu Jingyi has been staying at home and has not gone out much.

I spend my days reading books, making clothes, and knitting sweaters; life is pretty good.

However, before that, Liu Jingyi went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said everything was fine and the baby was okay.

Liu Jingyi often touches her belly and asks if the babies know how hard their mother works, which is why they are so well-behaved in her belly.

Liu Jingyi usually only goes out when she's buying groceries, but even then she's very careful.

Because of the snow, the ground was slippery, and she was afraid of falling.

However, since it was a small place, meat from the supply and marketing cooperative was hard to come by, so Liu Jingyi would always leave early.

After all, if you go too late, you won't be able to buy any.

Liu Jingyi was pregnant and craved meat. When she couldn't buy any, she wouldn't say anything, but every time she looked longingly at the meat in other people's baskets, it was heartbreaking to see.

Seeing her like this, Liu, the neighbor, couldn't help but tell her that someone secretly sells meat every day in the alley next to their yard.

However, it is more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative, but for Liu Jingyi, as long as she can buy meat, the money is not very important.

After all, she's quite wealthy!
Liu Jingyi bought quite a lot, and now she wasn't worried about it spoiling; that's one of the advantages of winter.

On New Year's Eve, Liu Jingyi dressed warmly and went out to buy the character "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune) and paper cuttings. Unexpectedly, she ran into Chen Xingjie.

"Yiyi?"

When Liu Jingyi first heard it, she was quite surprised, but she didn't expect that it was calling her, since Leng Yunting wasn't here.

It wasn't until Chen Xingjie walked up to her that she realized he was calling her.

"Brother Xingjie, what are you doing here?"

Chen Xingjie ruffled her hair. "I should be asking you, why are you here? Is he treating you badly?"

Liu Jingyi was fine before, but now she still wants to cry.

She lowered her head, trying to remain calm. "No, you still haven't told me how you got here."

Chen Xingjie didn't press further, but instead took the things from her hands.
"Grandpa is here, I'm here to celebrate the New Year."

Liu Jingyi's eyes widened, clearly not expecting this answer.

"Where are you staying? I'll take you there."

Liu Jingyi said shyly, "No need, Xingjie, I can manage on my own. You should go back and spend the New Year with your family."

"It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."

Since they had already said that, Liu Jingyi naturally couldn't refuse.

Chen Xingjie took over all the work as soon as he entered the room, which made Liu Jingyi feel quite embarrassed.

That evening, the two of them ate New Year's Eve dinner together.

Liu Jingyi bought rice wine from somewhere. Chen Xingjie didn't want her to drink it, but he couldn't resist her coquettish manner.

The rice wine tasted sweet, and after just one cup, Liu Jingyi was already drunk.

Her head started to spin, and her face looked like it had been smeared with rouge.
