The four people who had settled down were separated from Shen Huixiu by an aisle. Shen Fenghua remained calm and unmoved, while Shen Huixiu couldn't hold back and kept turning her head to look at the four of them.
After looking at the big ones, she looked at the small ones, and after looking at them for a while, Shen Fenghua got annoyed. Just as she was looking at herself, Shen Fenghua suddenly turned around and said fiercely to Shen Huixiu, "Look, look, what are you looking at? If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Shen Huixiu was startled. She was furious. "What? You can't stand being stared at? Will it take a piece of your flesh away from letting people stare at you? Or did you do something wrong that you're afraid to look me in the eye?"
Looking at that smug smile, Shen Fenghua wasn't angry; she just found Shen Huixiu's current outburst ridiculous.
She's like a grasshopper in autumn, she won't be able to hop around for much longer.
Therefore, Shen Fenghua simply stared at her and said calmly, "Don't force me to slap you in public."
This menacing action caused Shen Huixiu to utter a few harsh words before reluctantly shutting her mouth.
Shen Fenghua is indeed a bit crazy right now. Under normal circumstances, Shen Huixiu doesn't want to provoke her. Besides, there are so many people on the train. If Shen Fenghua suddenly goes crazy, she will also lose face.
Having comforted herself with this thought, Shen Huixiu fell silent.
The older woman next to her started chatting, "Oh my, girl, why are you wearing a big red flower?"
Yes, from beginning to end, Shen Huixiu only had a big red flower tied around her body.
The red flower was particularly large, and when it was reflected on Shen Huixiu, it looked as if a head had appeared on a perfectly good silk flower.
Upon hearing the stranger's words, Shen Huixiu seemed to wake from a dream, and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, that's right, why am I wearing a big red flower on my body!"
As she spoke, Shen Huixiu was on the verge of tears. "I was in such a hurry when I got on the train that I completely forgot about it."
This explanation...
Shen Fenghua clearly sensed something was wrong. Just now, when they were talking, Shen Huixiu found the big red flower on her chest annoying and impatiently fiddled with it several times. Now she was finally doing this stupid thing that she hadn't noticed.
Ha! They're sizing everyone up as if they're all fools.
Shen Fenghua remained silent, only watching Shen Huixiu act with a smile.
To put it bluntly, based on Shen Fenghua's understanding of Shen Huixiu, this big red flower must have been deliberately obtained by Shen Huixiu. The material of the red flower is not bad, and with a little cutting, it can be made into quite a few things.
Besides, red cloth was scarce these days, so it's not surprising that Shen Huixiu would be tempted.
It's just a pity for the junior staff member in charge of guarding the safflowers. At best, he'll lose money and a scolding; at worst, he might lose his job.
It just goes to show that they're all from the same boat; Shen Huixiu's little schemes were thoroughly analyzed by Shen Fenghua.
Therefore, people on both sides of the corridor were comforting Shen Huixiu with their own words, while Shen Fenghua on this side of the corridor had a meaningful smile on her face.
Shen Huixiu's heart was pounding, and she could only choke back tears, "What should I do now? Waaah, I was just too excited. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to Xinjiang. The train was about to leave, and I got so excited that..."
"Hey, it's okay, it's really nothing..."
Seeing Shen Huixiu surrounded by admirers, Shen Fenghua sneered.
Qi Ye looked up at Shen Fenghua and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much," Shen Fenghua said with a smile, not wanting to get into trouble. "I just remembered something funny and laughed."
Qi Ye looked at Shen Fenghua's sly smile and immediately understood, guessing that it was related to the person sitting next to him. "Well, have some water first, we'll be there soon."
As soon as the brand-new military water bottle was taken out, Shen Fenghua hugged it, took a couple of small sips, and that was it.
Drinking too much water at this time may feel good for your mouth, but you'll suffer when you go to the toilet later.
It was filthy and smelly; wasn't this just blatant self-torture? Weighing the pros and cons, Shen Fenghua felt that it would be better to go less often.
"You two have some too," Shen Fenghua said, feeding the children a couple of sips before putting the water bottle away.
Qi Ye was quiet and didn't say much, but he always took on the role of a protector.
They can always spot what Shen Fenghua is missing right away and then provide it accurately.
Everyone had almost forgotten about Shen Huixiu's existence, but she was oblivious and went out of her way to pick a fight, "Sister, where are you going? Is this the guy you found for yourself?"
Shen Huixiu was the center of attention. As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Fenghua, their gazes fixed intently on her.
Shen Fenghua: "..."
They don't appreciate kindness.
Looking at Shen Fenghua's wooden face, Shen Huixiu immediately got worked up, vividly demonstrating what it means to forget the past. She added to Shen Huixiu, "Is this the person you're willing to break with your family to marry?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes seemed to turn wolfish, glowing with a green light.
Shen Fenghua was speechless. Shen Huixiu's half-truth, half-truthful explanation was really captivating.
However, Shen Fenghua wasn't afraid at all. She had brought her child out and was originally too lazy to pay attention to her, afraid that it would have a bad influence on the child. But now that Shen Huixiu was asking for trouble, she didn't need to be polite.
“Yes,” Shen Fenghua said with a smile, “How about it? Doesn’t he look dignified? Much better than that old widower you and Mother forced me to meet.”
It's just a mix of truth and falsehood; it's like anyone can do that.
What?
An old widower?
Shen Huixiu was completely bewildered; what did this have to do with an old widower?
"Sis, what are you talking about? How come I didn't know about the old widower?"
Shen Fenghua looked shocked, as if to say, "Now that things have come to this, what's the point of pretending anymore? If you dare to introduce me to someone, you should dare to admit it!"
"To be honest, I still think it was the right thing to break with my family. Before, they ate my food, drank my drinks, lived in my house, and even considered selling me for money. Now look how good my life is."
Shen Huixiu was stunned; why weren't things going as she had imagined?
She chuckled, "Look at you, even if you hate us, you don't have to say we all live in your house," she muttered, "That house was allocated to Father and my older brother when they went to work at the factory."
Shen Fenghua raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
If it weren't for this reason, why would this family of several people live in such a big house?
However, it's alright, the people who are supposed to take possession of the house should come forward in the next couple of days.
Shen Huixiu is right. Since they've broken ties, there's no need for her to benefit from it. They should just get back their old, run-down apartment.
"Sister, I..."
Shen Fenghua raised her hand and slapped him across the face. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the carriage, and the previously noisy atmosphere became quiet.
Shen Fenghua rubbed her numb wrist and smiled, "I remember telling you before that I was disgusted by you, and that we should stay out of this. It's just a pity you didn't listen."
"Once is never enough. I forced myself to listen to the first two times you called me 'sister' while I was still disgusted."
