"Ji Fangyun, aren't you leaving?" a coworker urged with a smile from ahead.

"What happy event has happened? Why are you so happy?"

Ji Fangyun couldn't stop smiling. She waved her hand and said, "You guys go ahead. I need to call my kid at home right away."

After saying that, she immediately called Ji Chaoxi. She was so excited that her hands were shaking.

Thank God, Ji Fangyun had been unlucky her whole life, but she never expected to have good luck in her old age.

After the call connected, Ji Fangyun shouted, "Xixi, you guys pack your things and go back to the village right now. I'll call your homeroom teacher to ask for leave later."

Ji Chaoxi on the other end of the phone looked completely bewildered: "Why, Mom?"

Ji Fangyun hid in a corner, covering her mouth and laughing: "Your dad's dead!"

Ji Chaoxi and Ji Huaichuan next to her exchanged a glance, neither of them having reacted yet.

Ji Fangyun clapped her hands, her voice brimming with undisguised laughter: "He's really dead! He's really dead! The insurance company just called me, and the police called me too. The three of us can finally live a good life."

She glanced at the passersby and lowered her voice, "Hurry up and pack your things, Mom's going to collect a bunch of wedding gifts this time."

We must make the most of Jiang Dayong, otherwise his death would have been in vain.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up. She was about to laugh when Ji Huaichuan shook her shoulders wildly, almost making her dizzy.

Ji Huaichuan was so happy that he kept imitating a monkey's call, raising his leg high as he called.

"Money! Money! Money!"

As Ji Huaichuan shouted, he knelt down on the bed, clasping his hands together: "Heaven still favors us, mother and son."

Ji Chaoxi was furious and pushed him forcefully: "Get off me right now, this is my bed!"

Ji Huaichuan remained motionless, praying with his eyes closed.

Ji Chaoxi wanted to hit him, but Ji Huaichuan started yelling again, ruffling her hair into a mess while yelling, and then jumped out of the room.

"Ji Huaichuan, you're not allowed in my house anymore!"

Ji Huaichuan responded to her with enthusiastic monkey calls.

The factory was filled with the scent of shampoo and shower gel. Ji Fangyun couldn't wait any longer and started packing her things right away. She hummed a song as she packed, in an extremely good mood.

The phone rang, and Ji Fangyun answered it, her voice booming, "Little sister, what's wrong?"

Ji Cuiyun's voice came from the other end, mixed with the cries of a baby: "Sister, brother-in-law has been brought back from the hospital and is at home now."

Ji Fangyun quickened her pace: "Okay, okay, I've sent Xixi and the others back. Little sister, could you please keep an eye on things? I'll pack up and head to the train station now."

"Why are you saying all this? Sis, come back soon!"

"Okay, okay."

As Ji Fangyun made the phone call, her roommates teased her, "So happy? I'm only this happy when my man dies."

The other workers burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Ji Fangyun put down what she was holding and laughed, "Li Junhua, you guessed so accurately. When I went back this time, it really was true that my man had died."

The dormitory fell silent. The other workers looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

I wanted to comfort her, but seeing Ji Fangyun so happy made me realize how much I wanted to comfort her.

I'd offer my blessings, but her husband is dead; offering blessings doesn't seem quite right...

At this time, it was pitch black outside the factory. The area was already remote, and there were no shops around. Once it got dark, almost no one came out.

Exhausted and covered in sweat, Ji Fangyun boarded the car with her bags: "To the train station."

The driver exclaimed in surprise, "Going at this hour?"

Ji Fangyun wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled, "There's a happy occasion at home, I have to hurry back."

We arrived at the train station quickly. The station was filled with all sorts of smells: cigarette smoke, instant noodle seasoning, and the sour stench of people.

Ji Fangyun bought a ticket for the next available train and boarded it shortly afterward.

She clutched the bag tightly to her chest, and the perpetually furrowed brow on her face relaxed.

She leaned back in her chair, her eyes suddenly reddening.

She came crying when she arrived, but she's leaving with a smile.

The colorful neon lights kept flashing, and the smell of barbecue from downstairs wafted into the house. Ji Huaichuan sang a self-composed folk song while packing his things.

Ji Chaoxi was halfway through packing when she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten about Zhou Chiye.

She quickly called Zhou Chiye, and he answered the moment she dialed.

Hearing the breathing on the other end of the line, Ji Chaoxi coughed lightly: "Zhou Chiye, I won't be able to visit you for the next few days."

"Why?!" Zhou Chiye, on the other side, sat up abruptly from the hospital bed.

"You clearly said you would come to see me every day."

Zhou Chiye angrily poked the doll's face, while his mother in the ward watched him speechlessly.

She now really wonders if her son has damaged his brain, because he's started to act like a child again, sleeping with that doll every day.

They even bring this bear with them when they go for checkups.

"Because my father died," Ji Chaoxi said honestly.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Please...please accept my condolences," Zhou Chiye stammered. "Don't be sad."

He deserves to die.

Ji Chaoxi chuckled to herself, "I'm not sad at all, I'm very happy."

Zhou Chiye's mind went blank for a moment upon hearing this.

But he quickly realized that Ji Chaoxi might not have a good relationship with her father.

After all, she was raised so poorly.

"I'll come see you when I get back, okay?" Ji Chaoxi said earnestly. She thought for a moment, "The funeral should be over in about three days."

Zhou Chiye suddenly spoke up: "Then I'll go with you."

Now, the one who remains silent is Ji Chaoxi.

……

What is he going to do?

Zhou Chiye coughed and said, "Your mother hasn't come back yet, and I'm worried about leaving you alone."

"It's not just me, there's my brother and my aunt too," Ji Chaoxi explained.

Zhou Chiye wouldn't listen to her explanation at all; he was determined to go.

"Okay, I'll pick you up later. Send me the address."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chiye hugged the doll and looked at his mother seriously: "Mom, have the housekeeper come over. I need to attend her father's funeral."

Zhou's mother looked at him in disbelief: "Why did you go to someone else's funeral? You could have just given a monetary gift."

Zhou Chiye frowned deeply: "I should be the one helping with this kind of thing, there are so many things to do."

Mrs. Zhou was shocked. Could her son really have been possessed by some kind of evil spirit?

The next second, Zhou Chiye had already lifted the covers, ready to get out of bed and change his clothes.

Zhou's mother looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Could he really be thinking of himself as someone's son-in-law...?

The train swayed and rattled along, and the passengers were all eating. The various smells of food mingled together. Ji Fangyun had rushed out without bringing much with her.

She smelled the instant noodles next to her and suddenly felt a little hungry.

When she was poor, she never craved anything, always feeling that buying things on the train was a waste of money. Now that she has money, she wants to splurge a little.

"Beer, soft drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge..." The train attendant pushed the dining cart past.

Ji Fangyun quickly called out to her, "Train attendant, I'd like a bowl of instant noodles."

Actually, the instant noodles in front of her were no different from what she had eaten before, but Ji Fangyun just felt that they were different.

She ate instant noodles while asking for leave from Ji Chaoxi and Ji Huaichuan's homeroom teacher.

"Hey teacher, here's the thing... I just want to ask her for a few days off."

Ji Fangyun ate with relish, even drinking the soup. She wiped her mouth and said, "Yes, yes, thank you for your help with today's matter."

At this time, people in the factory were also discussing Ji Fangyun's situation.

The factory was damp. The woman dried her hair and asked, "Ji Fangyun said her man died, is that true?"

The woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed said, "She's laughing so happily, there's no doubt about it."

"Who wouldn't be happy if their husband died?"

As soon as he said that, the dormitory was filled with laughter.
