Before leaving Gu County, Xia Wenhua used her skills to teach Pei Songbai a lesson that left a deep impression.

Even a seemingly delicate capitalist's daughter isn't someone to be trifled with. If you really mess with her, she can break your legs with ease.

He remembered this deeply and from then on never dared to underestimate female comrades, which also saved him from countless troubles.

There were many kind-hearted people. Even though the traffickers initially wanted to snatch Xia Wenhua's child, they were completely unnecessary in sending the child to the police station.

Someone had already called the police as soon as Xia Wenhua revealed the identities of the bearded man and his gang. The police finally arrived just before the three human traffickers were beaten to death.

They briefly restrained the angry crowd, as everyone was rushing to catch their trains, took statements on the spot, and then took the three people away.

They arrived early enough, made a ruckus, and the often-delayed train didn't even arrive.

The two children had been asleep since they arrived at the train station and hadn't woken up despite the noise outside; they were clearly very tired. Pei Songbai didn't wake the children either, and handed the food he was holding to Xia Wenhua first.

"It's too early. The state-run restaurant only has steamed buns. Have something to eat first."

He held a steaming hot steamed bun in his hand. After Xia Wenhua took the bun, he naturally opened the water bottle next to him and handed it to her. Then he sat down on the ground to watch over the child.

A gust of wind blew by, and Pei Songbai, seemingly worried about the children, adjusted his sitting position, effectively shielding the two children between the luggage and himself.

Feeling Xia Wenhua's gaze, he looked up blankly: "Why aren't you eating? Is the steamed bun not to your taste?"

"No, I'll eat it." Xia Wenhua replied, taking a big bite of the bun, then lowered her head, hiding all her emotions.

Pei Songbai's perfectly natural action gave Xia Wenhua a genuine sense of peace and tranquility.

A virtuous husband and obedient children softened Xia Wenhua's heart, who was once known as the Iron Lady.

She thought she was here for survival, and Pei Songbai and her two children were just bosses she had to serve to stay alive.

But at that moment, feeling Pei Songbai's thoughtfulness, she suddenly felt her eyes well up with tears, as if she had been waiting for this scene for a long time.

Xia Wenhua quickly shook her head to banish the strange thoughts from her mind, just as a train whistle sounded in the distance, indicating that it was about to enter the station.

Almost instantly, the area around the station became noisy.

"The car is here, grab your things quickly."

"hurry up."

"..."

While everyone was in a panic, Pei Songbai had already woken up the two children and told Xia Wenhua to take them to the back.

"later?"

Seeing everyone pushing forward, the family of four walked against the flow of people. Before Xia Wenhua could figure out what was going on, Pei Songbai had already led her to the side of the ticket office.

"Comrade, I bought sleeper tickets, but my child and spouse have difficulty getting on the train and can't squeeze on. Could you please help us make arrangements?"

Pei Songbai took out two sleeper tickets and handed them to the woman opposite him.

Xia Wenhua subconsciously looked back after hearing his words: How could you not be able to squeeze on? It's just a train ride, who does Pei Songbai look down on?

You really don't know until you see it, and once you do, you're shocked. She really couldn't squeeze onto the train.

Xia Wenhua always felt that there weren't as many people now as in later generations, so the train travel rush couldn't possibly be worse than the Spring Festival travel rush in later years. She herself had experienced the Spring Festival travel rush after the millennium, so how could she not be able to squeeze onto a train now?

Seeing this now, she finally gave in.

Not to mention that the area around the car doors was so crowded that it was impossible to squeeze in, every open window was packed with people.

People were climbing in through the windows, and there were many people waiting below each window. If she were to actually climb up with her two children, she would definitely be wasting her time.

There were fewer people in the sleeper car. After the women had asked someone to help them put their things on the train, Xia Wenhua saw that people were still squeezing into the regular car. The train had already started moving and people hadn't stopped. She couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

"Is the station always this crowded?"

Pei Songbai stared at Xia Wenhua with a strange look for a long time: "Even if your family is rich, you always come with the crowd when you go to the countryside, right? Haven't you ever taken a train before?"

There weren't as many people as in later generations, but there were also far fewer train services. To put it bluntly, almost every station and every train was just as crowded.

The process of sending educated youth to the countryside was arranged by each street. Xia Wenhua was indeed an educated youth, so she should have never been without riding a train.

Before Xia Wenhua could answer, Pei Songbai's eyes widened: "You really haven't ridden a train before, and you didn't come to the countryside with everyone, did you?"

Xia Wenhua silently looked up at the roof of the car, then down at the floor of the car, but avoided looking at Pei Songbai's face.

Well, before she transmigrated, she never imagined that Pei Songbai's family, the original wife who barely appeared in the main story, would be so rich.

When the original owner went to the countryside, her parents drove her to the nearby station, and she only went to Hongshan Village with others after they arrived.

The Xia family was a prominent family in Zhejiang Province for centuries. They donated a lot of things during the War of Resistance against Japan and had many connections. Therefore, someone had already given them a message before this movement began.

Not only were they able to know the situation in advance, but they even arranged an escape route for the children. That's why the patriarch of the Xia family voluntarily transferred himself to a remote farm.

Her family had repeatedly warned her not to let Xia Wenhua look for anyone. As long as she didn't actively seek out people, her true identity would never be discovered. What a terrifying power that is.

Even though Xia Wenhua in later generations had worked hard to become worth hundreds of millions, she could only be considered a small fry in front of the Xia family.

Xia Wenhua's silence was perfectly timed, and Pei Songbai understood her meaning. After a long while, he couldn't help but utter a curse.

Good heavens, what kind of great Buddha did he marry?

Those at the very bottom of society think, "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down," and genuinely believe that once their class status is determined, it's for life. Pei Songbai, at least, is considered middle class, and his social experience is different from others.

For example, there were villages around their unit where some people with questionable backgrounds were sent down to the countryside, but were being protected by their superiors. Almost everyone who knew about this knew that these people would eventually have to go back.

He had assumed Xia Wenhua was just an ordinary capitalist and was even thinking about how to cover up Xia Wenhua's fake identity. Who would have thought that his little wife would give him so many surprises?

Pei Songbai's expression was just too cute. Xia Wenhua had a sudden urge to close Pei Songbai's wide-open mouth: "Don't worry, sister will take care of you."

The next moment, she felt as if she were being targeted by a vicious wolf, and the entire sleeper compartment immediately fell silent.
