Chapter 64: Sleeper

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘When she could no longer see Xu Tiansheng, Su Jinyue wiped the tears off her face and turned around to walk towards the number indicated on the train ticket.
‘When she got there, she realized that it was a sleeper. She smiled. It was not easy to buy a sleeper bed ticket nowadays and proof had to be shown. This showed that Fang Zhihong’s identity was not simple.

She walked into the sleeper and saw that there were two beds in total. They were both bunk beds so there were a total of four bunk beds. There were already people on three of the bunk beds, but there was no one on one of the top bunks.

Su Jinyue glanced at the number on the train ticket and realized that the lower bunk was the bed indicated on her ticket. She glanced at the burly man who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She could smell the stench of his feet through the blanket. She frowned and threw her bag on the upper bunk.
“Young girl, you’re going to Beijing to work, right?” The middle-aged woman on the lower bunk opposite Su Jinyue asked with a smile while knitting a sweater in her hand.

“Yup!” Su Jinyue nodded slightly. She did not want to explain anything to her.

When the young man on the upper bunk heard that, he sat up and said, “My cousin is in Beijing now. I heard that the salary there is very high. Sometimes, he can get 100 a month. I’m going there this time to seek refuge with him.”

The middle-aged woman put down the sweater she was knitting and reached out to take a sip of water from the table. “My husband is also in Beijing. That place is much better than our county. The things they use and eat are things that we can’t find here.” Her husband was doing business in Beijing. She
heard that he had already bought a house. She did not tell him that she was going over this time and planned to give him a surprise.

“Exactly. My cousin said that there are many rich people in the capital. They already have their own car. If only I could have my own car,” the young man said enviously.
“Young man, as long as you’re willing to work hard, you will get one in the future. My husband also had nothing when he went to the capital. Now, he has already bought a house in the capital.”

‘The middle-aged woman and the young man became more and more excited as they chatted. Their voices were filled with envy and yearning.

Su Jinyue placed her things properly, picked up the hot water bottle on the floor and walked towards the pantry.

“Lass, are you going to get hot water? Help me refill a bottle of water.” The middle-aged woman picked up the water bottle on the ground and walked up to Su Jinyue with a smile.

Su Jinyue turned around, took the water bottle and walked out.

There were many people getting water in the pantry. The queue for passengers waiting to fetch water went all the way outside.

Su Jinyue walked forward and queued up behind a middle-aged man.

After waiting for about ten minutes, it was finally Su Jinyue’s turn. Su Jinyue was about to go forward when the middle-aged man holding the water bottle in front of her suddenly slipped and rushed straight towards her.
Su Jinyue was about to dodge and help the middle-aged man up at the same time. After all, it was a bottle of boiling water. If he splashed it on her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ahand grabbed her from behind and pulled her back a few steps. At the same time, that person reached out to support the middle-aged man who was about to fall.

The middle-aged man steadied himself and thanked the young man who helped him up. “Young man, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened if I fell.”

“You’re welcome.” The young man smiled faintly and glanced at Su Jinyue before walking towards the carriages.

‘When the young man turned around to look at her, Su Jinyue finally got a good look at the man’s appearance. He was extremely good-looking and wore a pair of rimless glasses, giving off a scholarly and elegant aura.
Retracting her gaze, Su Jinyue went forward to fetch two bottles of water before walking towards her sleeper carriage.

Before she reached the room, Su Jinyue met the young man again.

‘When she saw him looking at her, Su Jinyue stopped in her tracks and nodded at him. “Thank you for what you did just now.” Although she could move away, he had helped her after all.

“I’s nothing. Are you staying next door?” The man smiled. His eyes behind the lens were gentle and charming.

“Yup!” Su Jinyue nodded and walked towards her room. She had already thanked him for what she needed to thank him for, so there was no need to continue chatting with him.

When she returned to the sleeper room, the burly man lying on the lower bunk had already woken up. He had his legs crossed and was leaning on the bed as he munched on a flatbread.

‘When he saw Su Jinyue enter, the burly man’s eyes revealed a trace of amazement. He chuckled and said, “Young lady, you’re also going to the capital to work, right? I have an acquaintance in the capital who can help introduce a job for you. Not only will you get a salary, but you’ll also get full
accommodation and food.” He didn’t believe that the other party wouldn’t be tempted by such a generous offer. From the clothes Su Jinyue was wearing, it was obvious that she had just come from the countryside. This kind of young lady was the easiest to deceive. After he got tired of fooling around with
her, he could sell her and earn another sum.

“Not interested.” Su Jinyue glanced at the man indifferently and placed the middle-aged woman’s water bottle by her bedside.
“Big Brother, is what you said true? Do you think I can do it?” The young man on the upper bunk pointed at himself expectantly.

The burly man took a bite of the flatbread in his hand and shook his head. “You can’t. They only hire girls.”

‘The young man sighed in disappointment and looked at Su Jinyue enviously. “Miss, don’t miss out on such a good offer.”

Su Jinyue shook her head with a faint smile. She was not an ignorant young girl. The other party believed the man with just a few words.

“Big Brother, can I do the job then?” the middle-aged woman asked while munching on melon seeds. She had to find a job in the capital. She couldn’t stay at home all the time.

“The factory only recruits young girls under the age of 25. That factory makes clothes, and their monthly salary is about 100 yuan.” The burly man stared at Su Jinyue, wanting to see if she would be tempted.

Su Jinyue didn’t seem to have heard him. She opened her bag and took out a cup from inside. She walked to the table and poured a cup of water from the water bottle.

‘The middle-aged woman sat down on the chair beside Su Jinyue and placed the hand holding the melon seeds in front of Su Jinyue. “Miss, thank you for helping me get water. Have some melon seeds.”

Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head. “Thank you.”

“My name is Wang Lizhen. You can call me Big Sister Wang. Miss, what’s your name?” the middle-aged woman asked while munching on melon seeds.

“Su Jinyue,” Su Jinyue said. To her, a name was just a code. It was fine to tell the other party her real name. After all, they would not have any interactions after getting off the train.

“What a great name. Your parents must be cultured people. It’s such a nice name,” Wang Lizhen praised. “Do you have a place to stay in the capital city? If not, come home with me first. My husband has a house in the capital city.”
“Lhave a house too. You can stay at my place,” the burly man interrupted with a smile.

“Thave a place to stay.” Su Jinyue took a sip from her cup.

Seeing that Su Jinyue was ignoring him, the burly man walked over to Su Jinyue’s side. “Lass, pour me a cup of water.”

Su Jinyue looked at the burly man coldly.. “Don’t you have hands?”
