Yang Hongmei's eyes darted around, unable to suppress her disgust for Gu Yunyang any longer. She suddenly spoke up, "Some people have so much food, yet they don't know how to share it. Eating so well, what is that if not capitalist hedonism?"
The old lady had been waiting for someone to speak to her, and when she heard Yang Hongmei's words, her eyes lit up immediately. She felt that she had finally found reinforcements and launched into a critique of Gu Yunyang: "That's right, only capitalists hoard everything."
Didn't you see how much the child was crying, and you're still completely unmoved? Are you a landlord? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to afford such things…
He couldn't continue speaking because Gu Yunyang was wearing a patched-up garment.
The old lady's eyes darted around, and then she changed the subject, accusingly saying, "These clothes are patched up, how could you afford peach shortbread? You must have stolen it, right?"
Goodness, quite a few people around looked over.
Gu Yunyang previously said that Yang Hongmei was wearing a dress and that the items were stolen.
Now someone is returning those words to Gu Yunyang?
Yang Hongmei was also somewhat smug. She looked around, hoping that someone who knew Gu Yunyang would step forward and speak on his behalf, so that Gu Yunyang would be forever branded as a thief.
It's shameful that Gu Yunyang volunteered to go to the countryside, but the people around him didn't have his experience.
For a while, no one responded.
Gu Yunyang chuckled and looked at the old lady, saying, "These are the clothes I usually wear. I'm a poor peasant, and I don't feel ashamed at all."
On the contrary, old lady, what's wrong? Do you look down on poor peasants?
Can't poor farmers eat peach shortbread?
This is what my neighbors gave me to eat on my way to the countryside.
Could the old lady's family have been landlords?
"Look at your grandson! These days, a poor peasant family like ours can't produce a fat kid like that. Only a landlord's family could raise someone with that much fat."
Gu Yunyang explained the origin of his peach shortbread in just a few words.
No one testified against them, and no one else could say anything.
Then he pointed out the old lady and the chubby boy. Everyone saw that, sure enough, such fat could not be raised by an ordinary family.
When the old lady got anxious, she wanted to sit down and cry.
Gu Yunyang kicked the old lady, and instead of sitting down, she fell into Yang Hongmei's arms.
Yang Hongmei was furious and quickly pushed the person away, causing him to fall to the ground.
Gu Yunyang quickly asked again, "Yang Hongmei, what's wrong with you?"
You were just speaking up for the old lady so confidently. Aren't you on her side?
Why did you push the old lady to the ground?
Yang Hongmei was furious. The old woman was filthy, and even her fingernails were black.
There was dirt on my skin from not showering much for years.
And it has a certain smell.
I could smell it as soon as I stood next to it.
If it weren't for wanting to upset Gu Yunyang, she wouldn't have been able to hold back before.
As a result, the old lady rushed into his arms.
“I didn’t, I didn’t…” Yang Hongmei’s eyes reddened, and she was extremely aggrieved.
I hope the people around me will help me stand up for myself.
Some people did want to speak up, saying that Yang Hongmei was at least an above-average beauty, and that she liked to speak with a mixed accent.
This did attract a few men.
But Gu Yunyang spoke even faster: "What do you mean, 'didn't you'? Didn't you speak to the old lady just now? By the way, since you care about the old lady, you should have helped her yourself."
I only have this much stuff, and I only have one day left. If I give it to someone else, how am I supposed to make it to Guangdong Province?
I think you're trying to starve me to death.
Don't you have three hundred yuan that you stole?
Since you feel sorry for the old lady, why don't you buy her a bowl of braised pork? I remember they were serving it on the train today.
By the way, old lady, if you're looking for someone, you should look for someone like Yang Hongmei.
She had three hundred yuan on her, even though it was stolen.
Right, Yang Shengnan?
