"You little hussy, how can you take our kindness for granted? We can't even afford to eat those White Rabbit milk candies, and you just pick them up and throw them away! What else could you be but a capitalist's daughter?"
Zhao Cuihua shouted loudly, expressing her strong disapproval of Huang Qiujie's behavior!
"Qiu Jie's words are really too much. How can he look down on our great farmers for being dirty? I think this White Rabbit milk candy is very precious to this old lady!"
Seizing the opportunity, Li Zhenzhen said with a disapproving look, "Your aunt is sharing such a precious thing with you, how can you complain about it?"
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't mind, you eat it!" Huang Qiujie retorted without hesitation, giving her an even more unfriendly look.
Xia Wan took in their expressions and interrupted their argument with a smile: "What's going on? What kind of candy trafficker are you?"
The train police officer just left and hasn't returned yet. We mustn't let Huang Qiujie provoke them, or we'll alert them. If they really have accomplices, they might just run away in the chaos!
It's better to delay for a while!
"Young comrade, you be the judge! I just kindly gave her a piece of candy, and she accused me of being a human trafficker!" Liu Hong, acting like an honest person, tried to win Xia Wan over to her side!
Xia Wan smiled slightly, looking at her with clear eyes: "Auntie just said that the candy was a gift from someone else, and you wouldn't even eat it yourself. Now you're giving it away?"
"Ah... I also felt sorry for this young girl, having to leave her hometown!" Liu Hong seemed surprised by her response and gave an awkward laugh.
"It's not a big deal. Which of us sent-down youth didn't leave our hometowns? There's no need for the old lady to give out candy to everyone she meets, lest people misunderstand and call the police on her as a human trafficker!" Xia Wan said with a smile.
"Haha, young comrades, you're overthinking it. This lady is probably just too enthusiastic. There's no need to assume the worst about people!"
Someone stepped forward to smooth things over, and it was clear that they were more inclined to side with Liu Hong.
"This educated young comrade is something else; he's quick to label people!"
"Look how anxious this lady is, she's almost in tears!"
Seeing Huang Qiujie open her mouth as if to refute something, Xia Wan interrupted her directly.
Looking at Zhao Cuihua, she said, "Speaking of which, the old lady just gave this lady's son a White Rabbit candy. The old lady is so kind! Oh? Is your child still asleep? You didn't wake him up even with all this noise?"
"Sigh... I guess he's too tired, my son is sleeping soundly..." Zhao Cuihua didn't catch the hidden meaning in her words at all, and even praised her son with a smile!
"Really?" Xia Wan said meaningfully, "I seem to remember that this old lady gave the child candy not long after, and the child fell asleep and hasn't woken up yet!"
"What do you mean? You're saying there's medicine on my candy?" Liu Hong stood up instantly, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Xia Wan seemed startled by her sudden standing up and quickly waved her hand, "Auntie, don't overthink it. I'm just straightforward and say whatever comes to mind! I didn't mean any harm! Please don't get agitated!"
Liu Hong realized she had overreacted and sat down awkwardly: "I just heard you mention human traffickers, and I hate human traffickers the most. I can't help but get angry when I hear about them!"
Xia Wan nodded in agreement: "Auntie is right. Who doesn't hate human traffickers? Those who commit heinous crimes should be arrested and executed!"
Liu Hong chuckled dryly, not intending to continue talking to Xia Wan!
I thought I could put this matter aside for now, but I didn't expect Huang Qiujie to be so stubborn. I don't know if he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. He stared at the child in Zhao Cuihua's arms for a long time and tried to persuade her again!
"Ma'am, why don't you hurry and find the train police? Look at your child, he doesn't look asleep at all, he's obviously been drugged!"
As Huang Qiujie said this, he started to walk out, looking like he was going to find the train police!
"What's wrong, honey?" The man holding the child suddenly rushed over, standing next to Liu Hong as if he wanted to fight for his wife!
He was always vigilant, and he had sensed something was wrong earlier when a train police officer walked past him and glanced at the child in his arms several times.
I was just about to call Liu Hong to get off at the next stop when I unexpectedly encountered a girl who was being unreasonable.
Looking at the skinny little girl next to that girl, isn't she the one who bumped into me just now?
Did this girl discover something? Did she call the train police?
"Dazhu, you've finally arrived! I shouldn't have been so kind as to give someone candy. Now look what happened, I'm being treated like a human trafficker!" Liu Hong seemed to have found her pillar of support and began a new round of wailing.
She thought that once Dazhu arrived, the little girl would be scared and stop meddling in other people's business!
The two subtly blocked Huang Qiujie from standing up, afraid that she would actually leave her seat to go find the train police!
"You silly woman, I told you not to be so generous when you're out and about. You can't just hand out candy like that! Stop dawdling, we're getting off at the next stop!"
The man gave Liu Hong a wink, signaling her not to linger and to get out of the car immediately!
They are indeed a couple, otherwise he wouldn't have risked coming back to call for help!
After all, the original plan was for him to get off the truck to deliver the "goods," while Liu Hong continued to look for new "goods" in the truck!
Liu Hong froze, then quickly smiled apologetically, "Alright, alright, I was so busy arguing with this girl that I almost missed my stop!"
Xia Wan watched the two of them act with a half-smile: "Auntie, are you getting off? Aren't you going to Harbin? We haven't arrived at your stop yet!"
"Yes... I remembered wrong, I remembered wrong! I should have gotten off at the next stop!" Liu Hong chuckled and got up to leave!
"No! You can't leave! You've drugged my baby! It's all because of the candy you gave her!" Zhao Cuihua suddenly realized and grabbed Liu Hong, who was about to leave!
"What are you doing! Let go of me!" Liu Hong panicked and tried to pry Zhao Cuihua's hand off.
"Oh dear, I just gave you a piece of candy and you gave me the wrong one! My good intentions have been taken for granted! Everyone, look at this! This is how educated youth wrongly accuse people!"
People around them chimed in, as if they couldn't stand seeing a kind person being bullied!
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? This lady was just trying to be kind, giving the child a piece of candy, and you're all accusing her like this!"
"It was those two girls who started it all. Do they think they can talk nonsense just because they've been to school for a few days?"
"We're almost at the station. Hey young lady and you, ma'am! Let this couple get off the train quickly, or they'll miss their stop, and you'll have to buy them return tickets?"
Faced with so many accusations, Huang Qiujie panicked and shrank back towards Xia Wan, as if terrified: "I...I didn't, it wasn't that I wouldn't let her leave! Wanwan..."
The train was about to pull into the station. Xia Wan subtly got up and frowned. Why hadn't the train police arrived yet? If they didn't come soon, she would have to take matters into her own hands. She couldn't let the human traffickers get away!
