Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1353: Leaving ( 3 )
Jiang Ziyu looked at his friend and said, "Ah Yun, Chenmo, thank you for your help these past few days. I will visit you again with my wife during the holiday."
Hearing this, Li Lingyun nodded and said, "Inform us if you need any help."
"Okay. We are leaving now," Jiang Ziyu said with a smile.
Li Lingyun patted his friend's shoulder and added, "Have a safe trip."
Jiang Ziyu held his wife's hand and walked toward the train station.
Since it was his wife's first time riding a train and going on a long trip, he bought sleeper seats. To ensure a comfortable journey for her, he purchased four tickets so they could have a cabin to themselves.
Lin Meifeng was both excited and nervous. She didn't know what to do and could only cling to her husband's clothes as he handled the procedures. It wasn't until they entered the cabin and she sat on the bed that she let out a sigh of relief.
Noticing her nervousness, Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, "Wife, don't worry. With me here, nothing will happen to you."
Lin Meifeng nodded and watched as her husband placed their luggage on the upper bunk. She felt something wasn't quite right and asked, "Husband, if you put the bags and bamboo baskets up there, where do we sleep?"
Jiang Ziyu sat on the bed across from her and replied casually, "I bought four tickets, so this cabin is ours. It will be more comfortable for you during the trip."
"Without strangers sharing the space, we can lock the door when we go to the bathroom and won't have to worry about our belongings being stolen."
Hearing this, Lin Meifeng was taken aback. She looked at him and asked, "There are thieves on the train?"
Jiang Ziyu didn't intend to shield his wife from the dark side of the world or people's hearts. So, he nodded and replied, "It's not just one—there is usually a group of thieves. They work together and steal a lot of things during one trip."
"Even if someone catches the thieves, they usually can't do anything. Unless they are willing to risk their lives and fight with the group to get their belongings back."
Lin Meifeng was stunned by his words. She never expected the outside world to be so dangerous. The farthest she'd ever traveled was to her adoptive mother's house.
No wonder people said traveling the world was better than reading mountains of books. Only after leaving her hometown did she begin to understand the world's danger.
Jiang Ziyu opened the small bamboo basket, handed a bamboo bottle to her, and asked, "Wife, do you want to have some breakfast first?"
Lin Meifeng nodded and accepted the bamboo bottle. After she took a sip of soymilk, she said, "Husband, you must have spent a lot of money on the tickets."

When he heard her words, Jiang Ziyu said domineeringly, "Wife, I might not have everything, but I have a lot of money."
"You don't have to worry about a small amount like this. When we arrive at our home, I will hand over all my money to you. You can buy anything you want. No matter how much you spend, your husband will be able to earn more for you."
Besides farming, the one thing he was good at was earning money from doing business. He had full confidence in giving his wife and future children a good life and lots of money to spend!
While the two of them were on their way back to Jiang Ziyu's hometown, Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun went to the state-owned grain and supplies store in the county town.
It would be winter in a few months, and they wanted to buy some cotton and fabric to make a new cotton blanket and cotton-padded jacket for their father and family.
After they parked their bicycles, the two brothers entered the store and immediately attracted a lot of attention. The staff's eyes lit up when she saw them. It was rare to see a handsome man—let alone two.
Thanks to their 'face card,' the two of them were treated warmly by the staff. She smiled and greeted them, "Good morning, Comrade. What can I help you with?"
The Li brothers were used to this kind of treatment, so they didn't feel flattered or offended when people stared or praised them.
Li Lingyun looked at the fabric displayed on the shelves and pointed at a red-colored fabric, saying, "Comrade, how much is it for that fabric?"
The staff followed the direction he pointed and took down the red fabric. She placed the bolt of fabric on the counter table and said, "Comrade, this Di Que Liang just arrived yesterday. This color is rare, and we only have this bolt. The price is 1 yuan and 20 cents per yard."
When everyone heard the price, they were shocked. The price was almost triple that of other fabrics!
Both Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun didn't know how much fabric was needed to make a cotton-padded jacket. So, after thinking for a moment, Li Lingyun asked, "How much is this bolt?"
The staff was taken aback by his words. It took her a moment before she replied, "Comrade, this bolt is equal to 35 yards of fabric. If you want this bolt, it will cost you 42 yuan and 35 yards' worth of fabric coupons."
Li Lingyun took out his bulging pouch and searched for a while before pulling out a stack of fabric coupons. He took out coupons worth 35 yards and 42 yuan from his pouch.
He handed the money to the staff and said, "I want it."
Since he was willing to squander his family's money, the staff didn't persuade him anymore and took the money and coupons.
She thought they would only buy this bolt of fabric. Unexpectedly, Li Lingyun pointed at another dark-blue-colored bolt of fabric and said, "I want that fabric, and also give me 20 kilograms of cotton."
