Chapter 312 A Huge Sum of Money1

Chen Honghong had been staying at her mother's house with her two children for three days, and as it was the fifth day of the month, Ma Xiulian was heading to the town's post office, so she took her daughter and grandchildren back home with her.

Every month, her fourth child's salary would be sent to the post office, and she would always be the one to collect it.

On her way to the town, she happened to come across a fellow villager going the same way on an ox cart, so she hitched a ride.

Perched on the ox cart, the cold wind howled around them.

The four of them hunched their necks, wishing they could curl up into a ball to block the wind.

Nobody spoke, for opening your mouth merely invited the wind to fill your stomach, inevitably leading to a chill.

"We're here!"

The ox cart halted at the entrance of the town. Ma Xiulian got off with Chen Honghong and her children, thanked the driver, and left some fruit candies on the cart.
