Gu Jingyan had heard about the Lin family's affairs yesterday, but he didn't expect there to be so many more stories to follow.

However, upon hearing that his wife's own father could do such a thing, he truly felt sorry for Lin Weijun, the brother-in-law.

"Really? They've all been arrested now. Haven't they found out who did it?"

Lin Yue'e already knew about those messy things, so naturally she paid even more attention to Uncle Hat's progress.

"No. I just heard Zhang Guifen cursing Yao Fang, saying it must have been Yao Fang who did it, otherwise they would be the only ones in the whole village with manure on them. But I don't think that's possible. Their family doesn't just have one or two buckets of manure. Yao Fang really did carry manure with Lin Xiangyang. It wouldn't take them several days to carry that much."

"Alright, you talk too much." Aunt Zhang tugged at her.

"Please drive carefully, especially with a baby in your arms. Make sure you have everything you need."

Aunt Zhang then showed concern for Lin Yue'e and the others, reminding them not to forget anything in the house.

"We're all packed, but there are only two of us, so we can't bring a lot of things. Aunt Zhang, if you can use the things we didn't take from home, just throw them away."

After they finished speaking, the two headed towards the village entrance.

Lin Yue'e boarded the oxcart at the village entrance. She looked back at the small village. They wouldn't have a place to stay when they returned; they would just be passing through. Therefore, she needed to make money hard in the city. Lin Yue'e was full of fighting spirit.

This is the 80s! I couldn't make money using this space because of my pregnancy; I could only earn a little to live on. But once I get to the city, there's definitely a lot more to be had.

Lin Yue'e was already thinking that once she had money, she would buy herself a house. After all, she and Gu Jingyan had now obtained their marriage certificate, but it wasn't easy to transfer her household registration to the city.

Besides, a man might be your husband now, but if he becomes rich later, he might not be anyone else's husband. She wouldn't place all her hopes on Gu Jingyan.

"What are you thinking about?" After sitting on the oxcart, Gu Jingyan held the child and told Lin Yue'e to sit properly.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking that if we come back again, we won't even have a place to stay."

"Then we won't come back. Let's settle things in the city first. Even if we want to go back later, it will be to J City with me. You haven't met my parents yet, have you? I'll take you back for a visit after the holidays this year."

Gu Jingyan is very satisfied with Lin Yue'e now. As long as she is clear-headed and stays away from the Lin family, he will treat her well.

After arriving in town by oxcart, a tractor pulled a large cargo box. Gu Jingyan loaded all the luggage onto the cart, then got off, picked up the child, and let Lin Yue'e climb on.

This was Lin Yue'e's first time riding in such a vehicle. Only after boarding did Gu Jingyan hand the child to her.

"Sit forward; it'll be more stable there."

After Gu Jingyan got on the bus, he pulled Lin Yue'e to the front of the bus, fortunately there were still few people on the bus.

"Oh, how long does it take to get to town by this?"

"It'll take about two hours. You sit down first, I'll go buy some steamed buns."

Gu Jingyan bought four steamed buns, two for each of them. Before Lin Yue'e had finished eating, the child in her arms started crying.

After changing her diaper, Gu Jingyan shielded her and let her feed the baby.

To be honest, Lin Yue'e felt extremely embarrassed at that moment.

"Oh dear, is this your first time being a mom? Go ahead and feed her, I'll cover for you."

Seeing Lin Yue'e's embarrassed expression, the older sister-in-law next to her smiled and stood in front of Gu Jingyan to shield her.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lin Yue'e immediately started breastfeeding her child. She had seen the women in the village breastfeed their children anytime, anywhere, some even five or six years old, when they asked for milk and would snuggle into their mothers' arms and be breastfed in public. But she really couldn't do that.

Thankfully, after feeding the baby, the little guy opened his big, bright eyes and looked around. But he's still too young to see very far.

"Hey girl, are you going to the provincial capital too? What are you going there for?"

After Lin Yue'e finished feeding her child, the outgoing woman immediately started chatting with her, and the two leaned against the carriage wall. A bundle containing clothes was placed on the floor.

"We're moving to the city."

Lin Yue'e was also free, so the group started chatting. After waiting for quite a while, almost an hour, more and more people started getting on the bus. Most of them were visiting relatives.

Once the bus started moving, Lin Yue'e truly suffered; even sitting in the front, her buttocks ached from the constant jolting. Sometimes, if there was a pothole in the road, those sitting in the back would be thrown around like flies.

Finally, after nearly two hours of bumpy travel, we arrived in the city.

Lin Yue'e originally thought that the provincial capital should be similar to a modern small town, but... never mind, it was all gray and dusty. Apart from the houses being more densely packed, the roads being paved, and there being more people, it didn't seem to have changed much.

After the vehicle stopped, Lin Yue'e felt as if her flesh was still trembling, and her head was buzzing. All she could hear was the sound of the tractor.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Gu An, nestled in his arms, was sleeping soundly. The sound of the car engine seemed to have no effect on him.

The two got out of the car and walked for a while before arriving at a nearby bus stop, finally managing to catch a bus.

Lin Yue'e, holding her child, managed to squeeze into a seat. Gu Jingyan placed his luggage on his head, and the other one, which wouldn't fit, he put at his feet and used it as a seat. The train quickly became packed with people.

After the car was full, they drove off. Gu Jingyan bought two tickets, which cost him two cents.

Lin Yue'e had been riding in a tractor carriage the whole way without any problems, but now, sitting on this bus, she soon felt dizzy, nauseous, and wanted to vomit. The carriage reeked of gasoline, and the bus kept stopping along the way.

She was so upset that she could barely hold her baby.

"What's wrong? You look so pale?" Gu Jingyan quickly took the child from him.

"I feel nauseous, I'm carsick."

The farthest place the original owner had ever been was a town, where he would either ride in an oxcart or walk; he had never ridden in a cart before.

Gu Jingyan glanced at the distance; it was still quite a long way to go.

"Can you still hold back? If not, let's get off the bus."

Lin Yue'e covered her mouth. She hadn't even vomited when she gave birth, but now she was like this just from riding in a car.

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't."

Lin Yue'e didn't dare to open her mouth, afraid that she might accidentally vomit on the car. She was already having a hard time holding it in.

Suddenly, an older woman on the other side vomited.

The smell was even more pungent for Lin Yue'e. She tightened her mouth and shook her head frantically. She really couldn't hold back any longer.

"Driver, please stop the car. My wife gets carsick."

Seeing Lin Yue'e like this, Gu Jingyan quickly told the driver to stop. The driver pulled the car over to the side of the road and stopped.
