When Lin Qingyan saw that there were bright red chilies in the soybean paste, she knew that her stomach couldn't handle such a spicy food, so she refused.
"I have a sensitive stomach and can't eat such spicy food. I can just eat braised eggs."
Du Xiaoyue could only reluctantly take the things back.
She noticed Lin Qingyan's pale face and occasional coughing as soon as she got on the bus, so she asked quietly, "Qingyan, you're not feeling well, how could your parents bear to let you go to the countryside? They all say it's very hard there?"
"I... I don't have parents anymore. As for why I went to the countryside, that's a long story, I'll tell you later."
She didn't want to mention the Lin family anymore, and with so many people on the train, if she did, it would only give others a chance to watch the spectacle and provide them with something to talk about in their spare time.
Seeing that she said that, Du Xiaoyue stopped asking questions, and they both quietly ate their meals.
However, while everyone was eating quietly, Tong Jiaojiao ostentatiously took out a box of braised pork, smacking her lips loudly as she ate, as if afraid others wouldn't hear her.
She just wanted to show off her superiority, that she had better conditions than others, and let them all be envious of her; she felt incredibly good about it.
A girl from next door came over and said, "Comrade, your braised pork smells so good and looks so tempting. It makes my mouth water just looking at it."
Seeing the girl's greedy look, Tong Jiaojiao quickly moved the braised pork aside.
"Go drool somewhere else, don't drool here."
The girl had originally wanted to curry favor with her and get some braised pork from her, but seeing her attitude, she immediately snorted coldly.
"So what if you have a little braised pork? What are you bragging about?"
But when she saw Lin Qingyan and Du Xiaoyue eating eggs, she moved closer to Lin Qingyan, because she had just seen Lin Qingyan give Du Xiaoyue an egg, and Lin Qingyan should still have eggs in her bag.
She was shameless enough to say directly to Lin Qingyan, "Comrade, your braised eggs smell so good! You wouldn't mind sharing one with me, would you?"
Lin Qingyan glanced at her speechlessly, thinking to herself, "Who are you?"
Lin Qingyan didn't lecture her with grand principles: "I've already finished my eggs, so I can't share them with you."
The girl immediately objected, "You give it to others, but not to me? I think you're just deliberately trying not to give it to me. Humph, hedonism, a typical capitalist."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyan became anxious. She knew that being labeled with such serious accusations at this time was a grave offense.
The girl's name was Tian Yanqiu. Lin Qingyan said to her, "You keep saying that she has a bad character, but isn't it robbery for you to insist on taking her things? This is exploitation, oppression, and outright robbery."
Hmph, you've put two labels on me, I'll return three to you.
"Who, who stole your things?"
It's you!
Not only Lin Qingyan pointed at her, but Tong Jiaojiao also pointed at her.
However, Tong Jiaojiao is somewhat suspected of joining in the fun.
Tian Yanqiu originally wanted to use her silver tongue to intimidate the seemingly frail female educated youth and gain some advantage for herself, but she didn't expect that the other party was not someone to be trifled with.
Lin Qingyan and Tong Jiaojiao criticized her together, and fearing that she would cause trouble, she slunk away.
Lin Qingyan and Du Xiaoyue were both praying that they wouldn't be assigned to the same brigade as that girl.
Unexpectedly, not long after this incident, Tong Jiaojiao started showing off again that night. She deliberately flaunted her clothes and shoes in front of Lin Qingyan and Du Xiaoyue.
“I bought all of this from the Friendship Store. What kind of place is the Friendship Store? Ordinary people can’t even get in. The things are good, but they’re very expensive. Look, this dress of mine costs thirty yuan, and the sandals cost twenty yuan, which is equivalent to two months’ salary for my relative.”
Neither Lin Qingyan nor Du Xiaoyue spoke to her. Lin Qingyan found it boring and could tell that Tong Jiaojiao was just a rich girl with big breasts but no brains. Being so high-profile these days wasn't a good thing.
However, before Tong Jiaojiao showed off to them, she had already posed like a model on a runway in the carriage more than ten times.
Du Xiaoyue simply didn't know what to say; she and Tong Jiaojiao were on completely different wavelengths.
Jiang Meihong, however, offered a few perfunctory compliments to Tong Jiaojiao.
Lin Qingyan had been on the train all day and was worried that her body couldn't handle it. Every time she went to the toilet, she would go into her space to absorb some spiritual energy and eat some "spiritual fruit". After a whole day, she didn't feel particularly tired.
After a quiet night, the next day, Tong Jiaojiao started showing off her wealth again, revealing her most powerful weapon – an Omega watch.
“Look at this watch face, this watch chain…” By this time, she had completely forgotten the instructions her parents had given her before she went to the countryside.
Although only Jiang Meihong responded to her, she was still intoxicated by the exhilarating feeling of "I am noble and proud," completely disregarding the thoughts and opinions of those around her.
On the morning of the third day, the train finally arrived at its destination, the train station. After stopping, the educated youth, led by the person in charge, all carried their luggage and walked out.
As soon as they stepped out of the station, they heard an unusually sharp scream.
"Ah~ my watch, my watch has been stolen! Can someone help me chase after the thief?"
The educated youth turned around and saw Tong Jiaojiao pointing frantically in the direction the thief had fled, shouting. But she stood still, waiting for someone to help her chase after the watch.
Later, two male educated youths dropped their luggage and chased after the thief, but unfortunately they couldn't catch him.
Everyone understood that the thief must have targeted Tong Jiaojiao's watch on the train and only made the move after getting off the train.
None of them sympathized with Tong Jiaojiao; they all secretly cursed her, saying she deserved it.
