Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work Chapter 241: The Well-Behaved Child

"Anmin, why was the door closed?" Ding Anguo’s voice ca from outside the compartnt, prompting Ding Anmin to get up and open it imdiately. Both n were carrying green sh bags filled with lunch boxes.

After Ding Anguo placed two lunch boxes in front of Qin Muxian and Zheng Sirui, the mother and son looked a bit puzzled.

"We brought you so dumplings and noodles, have so." Ding Anguo said with a smile.

Qin Muxian accepted this gesture. She didn’t want to take her son to the Qin Family, and had planned to go to the dining car later, but now it was unnecessary.

After finishing her al, Qin Muxian took out so money and tickets, insisting on giving them. "You’ve already gone out of your way to help us with the al. If you refuse, we’ll feel awkward for the rest of the journey."

Ding Anguo accepted the money and ticket without hesitation.

Because of the Qin Yuehong incident, and this al, Qin Muxian grew closer to Yi Roujing’s group and started engaging with them on her own.

"You’re also going to Jing City, there are many places worth visiting there." Qin Muxian said with a smile, introducing the places she knew.

Huang Xiaobao, who had been to Jing City many tis, chid in and added to the conversation with a smile as Qin Muxian introduced the places.

"It seems you already have a guide." Qin Muxian said warmly.

"Muxian, do I really need to personally invite you?" Qin Muxian’s gentle smile faded as she saw her slightly hunched great uncle at the compartnt door, along with the haughty Qin Yuehong, and she stood up reluctantly.

"Great Uncle."

"Mom, I’ll go with you."

"Don’t worry." Qin Muxian reassured her son.

Qin Muxian asked Yi Roujing to help look after Zheng Sirui, then followed them out.

After Qin Muxian left, Zheng Sirui wore a face full of grievance and heartache.

"Hey, little Sirui, are you worried about your mom?" Ding Anmin asked.

"Yeah, my grandpa, grandma, dad, and I all care for mom a lot. My mom suffered a great injustice this ti coming to Jiang Province." Zheng Sirui replied, "When we get back, Dad and the others must help her stand up for herself."

"Why didn’t your dad accompany you this ti?" Ding Anmin asked, thinking how Qin Yuehong’s words earlier were extrely harsh. If Qin Muxian’s husband had been here, it could have been avoided.

"My dad was called back urgently." Zheng Sirui replied dejectedly, "The tickets were already bought."

"Your mom is a very strong person, don’t worry, with so many of you caring for her, others can’t hurt her." Yi Roujing said with a comforting smile.

"Really?" Zheng Sirui asked doubtfully.

"Of course." Yi Roujing assured him. "Your mom doesn’t mind if her clothes and shoes are taken, because she doesn’t care about those things."

"What matters more to her is you and her real family."

There was a spark in Zheng Sirui’s eyes, "Mom said sothing like that before."

Yi Roujing smiled and ruffled Zheng Sirui’s hair.

"Ahem—" As they heard Li Hongying coughing in the next compartnt, Ding Anguo got up and went over imdiately, and Yi Roujing was about to stand up but was stopped by Ding Anmin.

"Sister-in-law, just sit down, I’ll go." Ding Anmin took the boxed al prepared for Ding Wei and Li Hongying over to the next compartnt.

It’s been ten minutes since Qin Muxian left, and Zheng Sirui was already starting to rub his eyes tiredly. After so coaxing from Yi Roujing, he struggled a bit but eventually fell asleep.

When Qin Muxian returned, Zheng Sirui was sleeping soundly, and she quietly thanked Yi Roujing.

"Qin, are you okay?" Qin Muxian looked fine, but Yi Roujing still asked out of concern.

"I’m fine, they just wanted to contribute money and tickets." Qin Muxian said helplessly, "But I refused, it took so extra effort. Always yielding is not a good thing, we can’t let them get used to it during the journey."

Yi Roujing chuckled at this and gave Qin Muxian a thumbs up.

"Xingchen, I’m going to the bathroom." Yi Roujing said as Xia Xingchen was half-leaning on the lower bunk, yawning.

"Sister-in-law, I’ll go with you." Xia Xingchen got up imdiately, "I also need to go, and then I’ll co back to sleep."

The two left the compartnt, making sure to close the door behind them.

To get to the bathroom, they had to pass through the hard sleeper and hard seat compartnts. Xia Xingchen guarded Yi Roujing the whole way, ensuring she didn’t bump into anything. When they reached the bathroom, two won were already waiting outside, so they queued up behind them.

"Your child is so well-behaved, not making a fuss the entire way."

The two won standing in line seed to know each other.

Only then did Yi Roujing notice the woman in front of her was holding a child, wrapped in cloth, who looked about one or two years old.

Yi Roujing looked at the woman’s face. She was around thirty, with a yellowish complexion and plain features that wouldn’t stand out in a crowd. But the child in her arms, despite having eyes closed, seed quite good-looking.

Yi Roujing smiled and said, "This little girl is so pretty."

"He’s a boy." The woman replied with a smile on her face.

Surely it’s hard to distinguish a young child’s gender without checking, Yi Roujing thought with amusent as she added, "Yes, this little boy is really cute."

Hearing this, the woman looked up at Yi Roujing, seemingly surprised by the sudden change in her response without any difficulty. When she caught sight of Yi Roujing’s appearance, she paused for a mont but then her smile deepened.

"You are a pretty young lady, how old are you this year?"

"Nineteen." Yi Roujing replied with a smile.

"Such a pretty young lady, and dressed so nicely. Are you going out during the National Day holiday?"

"Yes." Yi Roujing nodded.

"With family? Or with friends?" the woman asked with a smile, "Nowadays, many students plan trips together. Big sister, the two girls sitting across from us earlier ca out, right?"

"Yes, they sneaked out because they were upset with their families." The first woman grinned, "It’s certain they were spoiled at ho. If a girl in our family did that, she’d be in big trouble."

"Sister-in-law, are you tired standing?" Xia Xingchen stepped in and supported Yi Roujing, showing concern.

"Didn’t expect the young lady to be married." The woman comnted, seemingly a bit regrettably.

Yi Roujing found it odd, sensing a fleeting hint of pity in the woman’s eyes.

"The young lady’s with family, and her sister-in-law is also pretty," the woman remarked, scrutinizing Xia Xingchen.

Maybe it was because of seeing the earlier incongruity, now Yi Roujing thought the woman with the child seed to have a sowhat insincere smile.

"Sister, holding the child while going to the restroom must be inconvenient." Yi Roujing questioned with a smile, "Are you traveling alone with the child? It must be tough."

"Isn’t that the truth?" The first woman quickly chid in, "Luckily, this child is well-behaved. He hasn’t caused any fuss and just cries a little when he wakes up, drinks so water, and falls back asleep. He really can sleep."
