Feng Mingxin heard a woman's somewhat sharp and sarcastic voice coming from inside.
"What kind of person is this? If you're so capable, book a sleeper ticket. Why are you squeezing into hard seats with us?"
Then came a woman's gentle voice.
"Xiaofang, don't talk about Mingyue like that. Mingyue is just taking care of her mother. Doesn't she also want to get along well with us? She spends most of her time with the educated youth."
After hearing what the frail girl said, the girl named Xiaofang's next words were not as sharp and sarcastic as before, but they were still not pleasant to hear.
"If it weren't for the ticket check, would she have come back? She would have stayed there all along. But if she wants to stay there, she shouldn't be afraid of the check. She also wants to get along with us. I don't think she's going to say anything to us. She's acting all high and mighty. Who cares about her?"
“Mingyue isn’t ignoring people; she’s just never been one to talk much since she was little.”
Feng Mingyue didn't want to listen anymore after hearing this. She walked directly into that carriage and spoke to the gentle girl, Li Yue'e, who had grown up in the military compound with her and was her classmate.
"Li Yue'e, you always like to talk nonsense. I'm always talking to people at school, it's just that I don't like talking to you."
When Li Yue'e saw Feng Mingyue enter, there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, but she still spoke gently.
That's not what I meant.
"Don't call me that so affectionately, I don't know you well."
Before Li Yue'e could finish speaking, Feng Mingyue interrupted her again. At this moment, Li Yue'e's protector jumped out again. It was a male classmate of theirs, who had followed Li Yue'e around like a shadow ever since he became aware of things. His name was Yang Dachuan. Whenever Li Yue'e said something in class, as long as someone disagreed, he would be the first to jump out. This time was no different.
"Feng Mingyue, don't be ungrateful. I just wanted to help you explain, why are you being so aggressive?"
"Oh, I'm so touched! This is how you explained things to me, as you said. I'm only here to take care of my ailing mother. How could I stay here all the time? Are they jealous of me and I have to take care of them too? And you, you stubborn fool, are you even following Li Yue'e around? Do you know what she's really up to?"
Feng Ming's words left Yang Dachuan speechless. In truth, Yang Dachuan knew that Li Yue'e was merely using him as a tool. Upon hearing Feng Ming'e's words, Li Fei's eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Feng Ming'e was somewhat puzzled as to why Li Yue'e's tears flowed so readily. Sometimes, she admired Li Yue'e's ability to control her emotions, unlike herself. When she was a child, she would playfully climb trees and swim in rivers with her brother, getting her bottom nearly beaten raw by her mother, yet she would still be all smiles.
However, Li Yue'e's crying immediately drew criticism from the other educated youth in the carriage, who had been fooled by her delicate appearance.
"Feng Mingyue, don't be ungrateful. Didn't you and Li Zhiqing grow up in the same compound? Why do you always bully her?"
"Ha, I bullied her? I just don't like her, so what? She doesn't even know what kind of people her family is. She knew perfectly well that my older brother couldn't be touched by women, but that shameless sister of hers still insisted on throwing herself at him. That time, my older brother ended up in the hospital and almost lost half his life. After he was discharged, my parents sent him to the army and he didn't come back for five years."
When Li Yue'e saw Feng Mingyue directly reveal what her sister had done in front of so many people, she immediately felt that she had lost all face and cried even harder, her face streaked with tears, while she kept muttering to herself.
"No, my sister didn't do that. Don't wrong my sister."
"Don't wrong your sister. My family has said for a long time that my eldest brother will not get married unless he meets that special person. But your family just won't let go. Not only do your parents often come to my house and talk to my parents about making our family even closer, but your sister is also clinging to my eldest brother and even plotting to have a relationship with him. But who knew that my eldest brother is allergic to women? And your family is even more shameless. After they found out that my eldest brother was about to get married, they sent you here again, trying to get close to my second brother. How can your family be so disgusting, clinging to my family like this?"
When Li Yue'e heard Feng Mingyue tear off her family's face and even stomp on it, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, which were covered by her hands. However, the sound that came out was a pitiful and miserable cry. The educated youth in the carriage felt that Feng Mingyue was too domineering because of Li Yue'e's crying, and they criticized Feng Mingyue even more. Feng Mingyue heard those people saying that they didn't know the pain until it happened to her, and they directly shouted those sarcastic words at Li Yue'e.
"Stop crying and sobbing there. I'm not a man, so I don't feel sorry for you. If you dare to swear that you didn't come here to make a move on my second brother, then your whole family will suffer the consequences. Do you dare?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Li Yue'e. However, Li Yue'e dared not make this vow and could only continue to sob and cry. In the end, she even rolled her eyes and fainted. Whether she was truly unconscious or not, no one knew.
Seeing Li Yue'e use this trick again, Feng Mingyue just scoffed and went inside to pack her things and carry them out. She planned not to come back here and would get off the train with her mother from the other side, too lazy to get involved with these people.
After the train arrived at the station, Liu Mingyue, helping her mother carry large and small bags, was walking out of the sleeper car when she saw Lin Ningyang and two others carrying similar large and small bags, but with a man in their midst.
Lin Yuyang and his two companions saw a young girl helping a middle-aged woman, whose face was pale and looked unwell. Both women were carrying large bags. The three of them felt sorry for her and Hu Lanhua kindly stepped forward to ask Feng Mingyue if she needed help.
"Honey, this is your mom. What's wrong? She doesn't look well. Is she feeling unwell? Do you need any help?"
When Feng Mingyue heard the question, she turned around and found that it was the family in the sleeper berth next to hers. She had occasionally passed by them on the train in the past few days and had vaguely heard that one of the family members had been sent to the countryside as an educated youth and was now getting married. They were here to help with the wedding. Seeing that they genuinely wanted to help, she readily asked the three people to help her take her luggage off the train.
