Chapter 9 Qian Guilan
When it was just getting dark after dinner, Xia Wanyang washed up and went to bed. She got up too early in the morning and now she was so sleepy that the book hit her face several times!
She slept until ten o'clock the next morning. Xia Wanyang woke up to a loud noise. Qian Guilan had an argument with a family of three.
"I don't care. This little girl just stepped on my shoes. I saw it with my own eyes. You can't deny it if you want to. Compensate me with a new pair!"
The little girl was so scared that she cried loudly. Her mother held her in her arms and comforted her gently, while her father was trying to reason with Qian Guilan.
"Auntie, can you please be reasonable? You put your shoes in the aisle, and my daughter was careless, and she took her feet away as soon as she stepped on them!"
Qian Guilan rolled her eyes, "What's wrong with me putting them in the aisle? Is the aisle yours? I can put my shoes wherever I like. Don't tell me all this nonsense. My shoes cost eight yuan a pair. I've worn them for a few months. I'll give you seven yuan. Hurry up and pay!"
Xia Wanyang laughed out loud. Qian Guilan looked at her and laughed. She remembered the anger she had suffered yesterday. "What are you laughing at? You silly girl, I advise you to mind your own business!"
"Auntie Triangle, my mouth is on my face. I can laugh when I want to, and I can say whatever I want to say. What does it have to do with you? What's wrong with me laughing? Isn't it okay for me to be born with the habit of laughing? Hahahaha!"
"You...you shameless thing!"
Xia Wanyang stood up and walked towards her step by step, "I am shameless? How can I be as shameless as you? Look at what you are wearing, it's not even worth eight dollars, right? You are so shameless to charge me seven dollars for a pair of open-toed shoes!"
Qian Guilan was so embarrassed that she sat down on the ground, slapped her hands on the ground and howled, "Is there anyone who can help? This damn girl is bullying me to death in broad daylight. My son is in the army to defend his country, but his mother is being bullied outside!"
Seeing more and more people gathered around to watch the fun, the girl's father stood in front of Xia Wanyang and said, "Thank you, comrade. You don't have to stand up for us. I'll accept the loss and consider it a donation to the people's soldiers!"
Xia Wanyang passed the girl's father and sat on the ground, crying, "This is so unfair! The family members of the people's soldiers are taking advantage of their status to blackmail people, scaring the flowers of the motherland into crying! They are blackmailing people for seven yuan for a pair of old shoes! I'm going to report it, can you all be my witnesses!"
"This is too much. The shoes on this old lady's feet are not worth a dime, but they cost seven dollars?"
"That's right, seven dollars can buy ten pairs of new shoes! This is obviously extortion!"
"The quality of military families needs to be improved. Soldiers are so worthy of our admiration, but there are mothers like this!"
The people around were talking about it. Qian Guilan didn't know what to say. Didn't this damn girl know how ugly she was? She was an old woman sitting on the ground crying, so why did this damn girl sit down with her when she was dressed so straight?
Qian Guilan stood up slowly and said, "Forget it. As a military family member, I have the manners to deal with you. It's my bad luck!"
Xia Wanyang also stood up, wiped her non-existent tears and said, "Forget it, that won't do. Look how scared the kid is. His face has turned pale. You have to go to the hospital for a checkup after you get off the car. If he gets sick from the shock, you'll be responsible!"
Qian Guilan stiffened her neck and asked, "How can I be responsible?"
"It's simple. You just get off the car with the three of them and go to the hospital. They'll check you up from head to toe, and you just have to pay the medical expenses. It's okay if you don't have time. Just pay the money directly!" Xia Wanyang said with a smile.
Qian Guilan glanced at the little girl and said, "What are you checking for, little girl? You are just spoiled!"
Xia Wanyang covered her mouth in surprise, "Oh, you little brat, shut up, little brat, how come you're not a woman? The Chairman said that women hold up half the sky, you're openly going against the country, no, I'm going to report you as soon as I get off the car, and by the way, check which unit your son is in. How can a soldier's family have such thoughts?"
Qian Guilan's back teeth were about to break. "How much do you think is appropriate?"
Xia Wanyang put a finger to her lips and thought about it seriously, "Five dollars, if she's really scared, she'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation, right?"
Qian Guilan lifted up her clothes, and the people watching and the girl's father lowered their heads quickly, fearing that they would be blackmailed by her in the next second.
"Here you go, five dollars for something you don't know what it's for!" Qian Guilan's hands were shaking with heartache.
Xia Wanyang took the money, walked a few steps to the mother and daughter, handed the money to the girl's mother, "Sister, take it!" She blinked as she said that.
The girl's mother looked at Xia Wanyang gratefully, "Thank you, comrade, thank you. I am also an educated youth, married to the village, and this time I am bringing my children and husband back to my parents' home. My name is Wang Xiuxiu, and I live in Qingshan Brigade, Xin County, Shen City. If we are destined to meet in the future, please come to visit us!"
Xia Wanyang nodded and took out three White Rabbit candies from her pocket and handed them to the little girl. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Auntie will give you some candy. Eat it and you won't be afraid anymore!"
The little girl looked at her mother and accepted it only after she saw her mother nod. "Thank you, Auntie!"
The girl's father also came over and said, "Thank you, comrade. Without you, we would have been blackmailed today. Thank you!"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xia Wanyang sat back on the bunk and sneered, "Qian Guilan, this is just the beginning!"
It turns out that Qian Guilan was a well-known unreasonable person in the Dongfanghong Brigade. After Xia Wanyang fell into the water in her previous life, most of the rumors in the village were spread by her. Every time she saw Xia Wanyang, she would spit at her and loudly swear at her. In her previous life, Xia Wanyang had to marry Li Wenzhuo, and Qian Guilan was the executioner who pushed her into the abyss!
After a while, the old couple came back, "Xiao Xia, are you up? Your uncle and I went to the dining car to have breakfast. Look, this is for you. It's still hot. Come and eat!"
Xia Wanyang immediately took out a dollar from her bag and handed it over.
"No, no, I ate so much of your meat yesterday, how much is this breakfast?"
Xia Wanyang stuffed the money into the old lady's hand and said, "If you don't want it, I won't eat it!"
“This child…”
It was almost twelve o'clock after breakfast, and Xia Wanyang took out the book and started reading again.
After reading for an entire afternoon, Xia Wanyang's eyes were sore. She closed her eyes and dozed off on the bunk, her mind racing. "I've met Zhang Shiye and Qian Guilan. Will I meet you as well, just like in my previous life?"
In the evening, the family of three brought back four boxes of lunch. The girl's mother handed one to Xia Wanyang, "Sister, you must accept it. You can't pay for it. This is our way of thanking you. We don't have anything good, so please accept it!"
Xia Wanyang smiled, "Okay, I accept, thank you!"
Qian Guilan was so angry that she started to cry. It was all her money! It was all her money, and they were eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, but she was just chewing on this hard cake!
So angry!
After dinner, Xia Wanyang went to bed. The train would arrive at five o'clock tomorrow morning, so she had to go to bed early. If she met Zhang Shiye tomorrow, she would be left with dark circles under her eyes!
Xia Wanyang got up at four o'clock the next morning. When she got up, everyone on the berth was still asleep. She quietly took out her toiletries and went to the toilet.
As soon as she walked into the corridor, she saw Qian Guilan's shoes still on the aisle. Xia Wanyang smiled and kicked her shoes forward as she walked. When she reached the toilet door, she took out toilet paper from her bag, held her shoes and went into the toilet.
He opened the window and threw the shoes out with a whoosh.
Then he entered the space. Xia Wanyang was now getting more and more comfortable using the space, and he no longer muttered like an old-fashioned man.
I arrived at the villa, took a quick shower and washed my hair, wrung it dry, tied it into a high ponytail, and looked in the mirror. I wanted to put on some makeup, but was afraid it would be too conspicuous, so I just applied some skin care products.
She threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine and opened the wardrobe that Zhang Shiye had prepared for her in her previous life. "Tsk, I can't wear any of them. I can see there's nothing left at this time!"
Finally, she wore a white shirt with a doll collar, black pants, and a pair of black leather shoes.
This is the most common dress nowadays.
After eating two big meat buns with pickled radish made by Xia's mother and drinking a bowl of millet porridge, Xia Wanyang felt refreshed and smiled with satisfaction.
