The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 137 - 131: A Smooth Journey

Chapter 137

Chapter 137: Chapter 131: A Smooth Journey
Qin Ming and his wife were feeling anxious, almost an hour had passed, but the train conductor hadn’t appeared.
Both of them were uneasy, could something have gone wrong?
Jiang Yue felt somewhat relieved when she didn’t see the conductor show up.
She told herself, there’s no such thing as coincidences in the world.
Such luck, encountering a familiar person?
Next to them were probably two people from a village, going to the city to visit family.
Judging by all the big and small bags, with parcels piled on the floor, Jiang Yue’s feet were already pushed against the train carriage wall, so cramped they couldn’t move.
If it weren’t for Qin Ming shielding his wife with force, they would’ve been shoved against the wall.
"Hey brothers, stop pushing so hard, there’s a pregnant woman here, you see there’s an expectant mother."
Qin Ming pressed one hand against the table, with his back against the two people who were almost crushed against him.
And these two were clearly strong rural folks, used to physical labor, muscular and robust.
If he hadn’t been there exerting himself, creating a bit of space for his wife.
Perhaps he and his wife would both be squeezed against the wall.
"Ah, brother, we’re not the ones pushing you, look at this car aisle, it’s full of people. We’re being pushed too, we really can’t help it. We know your wife is pregnant, but we’re being pushed by others too, there’s nothing we can do, we really can’t hold on.
I’ve heard that more people will get on at the next big station."
"I heard too, lots of people can’t even buy seat tickets, they’ve all bought standing tickets. I’ve heard that the next two stations are all major stops. When everyone gets on at once, who knows how many more will come. You have to keep your wife safe, I see her belly is quite big, she must be near her due date.
Don’t let anything happen, we’ll try to hold on here, but if we can’t, there’s really nothing we can do either."
The two strong men behind were actually quite understanding.
Qin Ming and Jiang Yue looked back and indeed the aisle was packed with people shoulder to shoulder.
Qin Ming broke out in a sweat, Jiang Yue gave a bitter smile, took out a handkerchief to wipe her husband’s sweat.
"Make way, make way, let me through, let me through."
As the voice came, a path actually opened up in the aisle.
Feng Guoqiang, sweating profusely, squeezed to stand in front of Qin Ming and Jiang Yue, and seeing their condition, gave a bitter smile.
He needed to get the train chief’s approval to use those two conductor’s berth beds.
Otherwise, this could be a big issue or a small one.
With much persuasion, he managed to get this arrangement.
He hurried over, not expecting that even after just one stop, the train was already this crowded.
Yet he felt some quiet satisfaction inside.
The more urgent it is, the more they would appreciate the favor.
"Qin Ming, Jiang Yue, come on, quickly follow me, grab your things."
Qin Ming was a bit confused, but upon looking up he recognized the train conductor as the one he greeted earlier, seeing him waving with sweat all over.
Feeling a surge of hope, knowing there was a solution.
Quickly he gathered luggage from the rack and beneath the seat, carefully helping his wife out.
"Oh brother, you’re not staying here? Then my brother and I will take these seats."
"What seats, these seats are ticketed, they’ll be sold soon, don’t occupy them, people getting on later might cause trouble if they’re booked."
Feng Guoqiang shouted.
Back then, train conductors held a lot of authority.
With Feng Guoqiang leading the way, everyone cleared a path, and they smoothly made their way to the conductors’ car.
Feng Guoqiang opened a compartment door, pointed to an empty space inside, telling them to place their luggage there.
"This is my compartment, there’s two empty beds inside, you two take the lower bunks, I usually don’t come back to the compartment. I’ll only return for meals and rest, so just relax. No one will disturb you, I’ve cleared this with the train chief, say you’re our family. If anyone asks later.
Just say you’re my distant cousin, going to the city to visit relatives. Remember, don’t slip up."
After setting them up, Qin Ming felt a bit embarrassed, the space was ample, and the conditions were really good.
His wife could rest comfortably on that bed.
"Comrade, I don’t even know your name, I’m really sorry for the trouble."
"No need for formalities, since you’re close with my brother-in-law, we’re like family, consider me a friend, feel free to reach out for help, I’m called Feng Guoqiang. When you come back from the provincial capital, give me a call in advance, I’ll have someone buy tickets and send them to your home.
Get on the train and just take a sleeper. By the time you return, you’ll probably be carrying the baby, being cramped is not an option. From now on, if you have train-related issues, don’t hesitate to find me."
With Feng Guoqiang’s arrangements, he hurried back to work.
Qin Ming and Jiang Yue sat in silence.
"Alright, alright, wife, hurry and rest. Feng Guoqiang is Chief Wei’s little brother-in-law, I just found out. Whether or not it’s a coincidence, we owe him a favor, when we return from the provincial capital, we should buy something to express our gratitude.
Keeping contact, having someone on the train is definitely advantageous for us."
Qin Ming knew what Jiang Yue was worried about.
At dinner time, Feng Guoqiang surprisingly brought them two boxed meals.
Simple rice with a large stew, which had plenty of meat.
Feeling awkward about their hospitality, Qin Ming was truly moved inside.
Jiang Yue watched silently for a long time, thinking that Chief Wei might have informed his brother-in-law.
Basically, they were not doing it for them, but for Mr. Wang’s sake.
Clearly, their relationship with Mr. Wang needed to be maintained well.
No matter what, Mr. Wang had been very considerate to them for his sister’s sake.
This good relationship stemmed from her own sister, who knew her sister had such ability!
The couple slept soundly through the night, arriving at the provincial capital early next morning.
Feng Guoqiang had to clean and tidy the train, so he couldn’t see them off the station.
However, he left them a phone number, telling them to call a few days before they planned to return, he would contact his friends to help with the tickets.
Qin Ming and Jiang Yue thanked him repeatedly, finally exiting the station. They took the number 11 bus directly to Jiang Yue’s home.
Jiang Yue was excited, Qin Ming was anxious.
