Mr. Xiao also talked with Qin Xiang'an for a while. Seeing that it was getting late and the things had been put in the car, Mr. Xiao then let them all get in the car.

Xiao Yuchen held his little nephew, somewhat wanting to take the little dumpling home with him.

Seeing that he was still holding the child, Xie Yun smiled and said, "Alright, hurry up and give your little nephew to your fourth brother, it's getting late."

"Since you like children so much, when we get back, I'll find you a nice girl and have you go on blind dates. Then you can have your own children and see them every day."

"No, no, no, Mom, please don't!" Xiao Yuchen was so frightened that he quickly handed his little nephew back to his fourth brother, then hurriedly opened the passenger door and got in.

After sitting down, he looked at his little nephew and said, "Little nephew, when your third uncle comes again, I'll bring you some delicious food."

Xie Yun was amused by her son, shook her head helplessly, said a few words to Shen Jingyue and Qin Xiang'an, and got into the car.

Mr. Xiao glanced at his grandson, told them to live a good life, and then got into the car.

After watching the car drive away, Qin Xiang'an picked up his son and went home with his wife.

Meanwhile, Qin's mother and Qin Xiaolian finally arrived after several days by train.

However, just as she got off the train, Qin's mother was suddenly bumped into. She glared at the man who bumped into her, cursing under her breath.

"Who is it that's so eager to be reborn into this world?"

But by then everyone was in a hurry to get off the train, and the person who hit her was long gone.

Qin Xiaolian was right behind her mother. Seeing her mother standing there motionless, cursing and swearing, the people behind her were getting impatient and quickly pushed her forward.

"Alright, Mom, let's get off the train quickly, there are still people behind us."

If they don't go down now and get stuck here, they'll be the ones getting yelled at later.

Only then did Qin's mother leave, still grumbling.

After the two left the train station, Qin Xiaolian was also hungry.

On the train, they could only buy cheap pancakes to eat.

Seeing the state-run restaurant not far away, and with it almost noon, she could smell the delicious aroma wafting from it, and her mouth started to water.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Didn't Fourth Brother give you fifty yuan? How about we go to the state-run restaurant and have something good to eat?"

She's been eating nothing but flatbread for the past few days, and she's almost sick of it.

Now it's just the two of them, my mother and me. When they go to a state-run restaurant, ordering one dish and two rice dishes doesn't cost much.

Qin's mother was also a little tempted. She thought that she had fifty yuan in her pocket, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the state-run restaurant for a nice meal.

Moreover, it's noon now, and there are no more buses from the city back to my hometown county, so I can only stay in the city for the night.

"Alright, let's go in and have a meal then." Qin's mother gritted her teeth and led her daughter toward the state-run restaurant.

They went straight to the order window as soon as they came in.

When Qin's mother saw that a serving of braised pork cost nine cents and required half a pound of meat coupons, and a bowl of rice cost three cents and also required grain coupons, she felt a pang of pain. This was too expensive!

"What would you like to eat?" asked the staff at the state-run restaurant.

Although Qin's mother felt a pang of regret, she still gritted her teeth and said:

"I'd like one braised pork belly and two bowls of rice."

The staff member wrote it down and added, "That's one dollar and twenty cents in total, half a pound of meat coupons, and two ounces of grain coupons."

Qin's mother was about to take the money when her expression changed drastically upon touching it.

The staff here were getting impatient. "Are you going to eat or not? If you are, pay up now."

"Mom, hurry up and give me the money!" Qin Xiaolian, unaware that something was wrong with her mother, urged her hastily.

The aroma of the food made her feel incredibly hungry.

"Oh no, my money is gone!" Qin's mother suddenly shouted.

Qin Xiaolian's face paled, and she said anxiously, "Mother, look carefully, how could it be missing?"

That's tens of dollars! What will they do if it all disappears?

Qin's mother also burst into tears. She had searched carefully, but there was only one place where the money was hidden, so where else could it be?

They made quite a commotion, and the people around them seemed to realize that they really had lost their money.

Some of the older men anxiously said, "Did you drop it somewhere? You should go back and look for it quickly, or someone will definitely pick it up if you're too late."

These days, no family is well-off, and judging from their anxious looks, it must be a lot of money.

"Yes, let's go look for it quickly, see if it's fallen somewhere."

Some people said, "Could it have been stolen?"

At this time, there are many petty thieves, especially when you are out and about. You have to hide your money well, otherwise it will be stolen if you are not careful.

Upon hearing the man's words, Qin's mother suddenly remembered being bumped into when she got off the train.

It must have been taken away at that time.

"Oh no, that damn thief! It must have been the guy who bumped into me when I got off the train who stole my money."

Otherwise, she would still have the money when she went to the toilet before getting off the train.

I was bumped into by someone just as I got off the train.

"Oh dear, it really got stolen! You'd better go back and check right away, make sure you can find it, otherwise the thief has already run away."

"By now, the person has probably already run away. They're not stupid; once they've stolen the money, why would they wait for you to come back?"

Thinking of her fifty-odd yuan, Qin's mother fainted in a fit of anger.

Shen Jingyue was unaware of what was happening here. If she had known, she would have said they deserved it and would have applauded.

That day, Shen Jingyue looked at the dozens of bottles of face cream she had made in her space.

She went to ask Sister Wang to count how many people wanted it, and then she would find some time to go to the county.

After all, she needed something to store these things, and although there were bottles in her space, she couldn't just take them out directly.

She could go to the county to check out the black market, and if anyone asked her about the bottles, she could say she bought them from the county without arousing suspicion.

She carried the child out of the space, put the child in the car, and pushed him to Sister Wang's house next door.

Sister Wang is picking vegetables in the yard.

Seeing that Sister Shen had arrived, she smiled and said, "Sister Shen, what brings you here? Come and sit down."

She even brought her a small stool from the side.

Shen Jingyue pushed the child over and sat down on the small stool.

"Sister Wang is picking vegetables."

"Yeah, I picked them from my own yard. What brings you here?"

"Didn't you say before that someone wanted the face cream I made? I made some, do you want to ask if anyone wants it?"

Sister Wang's eyes lit up. "Really? How much did you make?"

"Not many, just about a dozen bottles. Ask around if anyone wants them, and write down how many people want them. Let me know when the time comes."

"I'll go to the county and buy some bottles to fill them up, then you can deliver them."

"Okay, I'll take care of it. I'll go ask about it this afternoon," Sister Wang readily agreed.

"By the way, were those people who came to your house a few days ago Deputy Regiment Commander Qin's biological parents?"
