No matter when, most people sympathize with the weak.
When the onlookers heard Li Panddy's tearful voice and saw her crying with snot running down her face, they all showed expressions of pity.
Even the passengers who were originally skeptical or on the sidelines, now gradually tilted their minds towards Li Pandi.
The older sister sitting across from Qin Huiru looked at her angrily, "How could you be like this? I just saw this comrade talking to you, and you nodded in agreement. How come you're denying it so quickly?"
"Yes, I saw it too." Spectator 2's eyes widened. "I'm telling you, comrade, you're such a piece of shit. Her husband is dying, and he's just waiting to see her one last time. And not only do you refuse to admit your wrongdoing, you're even so aggressive."
After hearing the two people's testimonies, the other onlookers once again turned their fire on Qin Huiru.
"That's right, you're being too unreasonable. Since you agreed to someone's request, you should have kept your word. If you felt you couldn't do it from the beginning, then you shouldn't have agreed. Now you've caused them to miss their stop. Isn't that cheating them?"
"She caused someone to miss their stop, and she still had a sullen look on her face, acting like she was wronged. It's totally unreasonable!"
"It's obvious that this kind of person is not someone you'd be happy to get along with. I feel bad for this comrade; not only did he miss his stop and delay his work, but he also got scolded by her."
Seeing Qin Huiru clenching her fists, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but sneer, "If you do something wrong, you should have the courage to admit it. Even children know this, and you, an adult, don't understand it?"
"Sister, don't blame me for being blunt. You were wrong in this matter." The eldest sister looked at Qin Huiru earnestly, "Because she missed her stop, if she can't even see her man for the last time, then your sin is huge. If it's up to you, you should just give her the ticket money for the stops she missed, and let this matter be over."
"She hurt him so badly, shouldn't she compensate him for the ticket money?"
After hearing what these people said, Qin Huiru was so angry that her back teeth were almost broken.
Especially when she saw Li Pandi's pretentious attitude, she felt a surge of anger rising.
"I already said, I didn't agree..."
Before Qin Huiru could finish her words, Tang Wanning patted her shoulder soothingly.
"Aunt, don't be angry. The angrier you are, the more unreasonable they will think you are."
Qin Huiru felt very aggrieved when she heard this. "Ningning, I really didn't agree to her promise. She just spoke to me and asked if she could sit here and rest for a while. I thought this is a public area and it's her freedom to sit here or not, so I agreed. I didn't expect she would use this as an excuse to slander me."
"I know. You should calm down first, otherwise you will just be led around by the nose." Tang Wanning smiled and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Seeing the smile on Tang Wanning's face, Qin Huiru felt that the anger in her heart had dissipated a lot.
"good."
When Li Pandi saw this little girl calming down the furious Qin Huiru with just a few words, she couldn't help but think that something was wrong.
I saw her slumped on the ground, wiping her face with her hands.
But those hot tears were like pearls that had broken off the string and could not be wiped away.
Li Pandi sobbed and said, "You...how can you confuse right and wrong like that? I clearly told you before that if I'm still asleep when we get close to Yuzhou, please call me."
As she spoke, Li Pandi seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and her eyes became lifeless. "Forget it, wuwuwu, if it doesn't work, I'll just walk back. I just hope I can catch up and see my man for the last time..."
She staggered to her feet and thanked the person who had just spoken for her with red eyes.
"Thank you for speaking up for me just now. I'm getting ready to get off the bus."
After saying that, Li Pandi prepared to get her luggage. Seeing how miserable she was, her elder sister couldn't help but glare at Qin Huiru and Tang Wanning angrily.
"Comrade, wait a moment." After saying that, she took out two yuan from the bottom of her shoe and handed it to Li Pandi. "I don't have much money on me. Take these two yuan for emergency use. I can't really let you walk to Yuzhou. You will miss the chance if you do that."
"I have fifty cents here. Take it. Don't think it's too little. You can buy something to eat if you get hungry on the way."
Seeing this, the middle-aged woman hurriedly looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please help this comrade. Her husband is already on the verge of death. If this little thing delays her from seeing her husband for the last time, wouldn't that be a sin?"
The eldest sister also followed up: "Yes, everyone who has money can help this comrade."
"Sister, I have five cents here, don't think it's too little."
"I still have five on me. Take them for emergencies."
......
For a time, everyone donated generously, ranging from five yuan to fifty cents.
After a while, Li Pandi had thirty or forty yuan in her hand.
Watching how these people worked together, Tang Wanning probably understood their tactics.
This is really a good deal that kills two birds with one stone. Whether Qin Huiru compensates her for the train ticket or the kind-hearted people around her donate money, Li Pandi will not return empty-handed in the end.
If Qin Huiru paid for the train tickets and Li Pandi and the others were eventually caught by the police, since the amount was too small, it would not cause much harm to them. At most, they would be detained for a few days and fined.
If Qin Huiru hadn't paid compensation, everyone would have donated money out of love, just like they are doing now, and then they would have nothing to worry about.
Isn't it a good business if it is premeditated, organized and has low risks?
Some people who donate money on impulse regret it afterwards.
But Li Pandi was in such a miserable state that they were too embarrassed to ask for the money back, not to mention that the money was originally donated by them.
If I come back now, wouldn't that be slapping myself in the face?
So, they had to direct the artillery fire back at Qin Huiru.
"You're such a heartless woman! Her husband is waiting in the hospital to see her for the last time, and now because of you, she's missed her stop. And you're so reluctant to even give her the ticket money. Are you still a human being?"
"Exactly. It turns out that since it's not her man who's going to die, she's just putting the blame on others. What a piece of shit."
"It was clearly her fault, yet she just stood by and watched. Why? Today, she must pay the fare to this comrade."
"Yes, she caused the other person to miss their stop, so she must pay!"
......
Seeing everyone directing their fire towards Qin Huiru again, a hint of pride flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged woman, the eldest sister, and Li Pandyi.
Humph, you still want to fight with them? They have cooperated on this move countless times and have already mastered it tacitly.
It looks like I can get some extra money before getting off the bus.
Seeing this, Tang Wanning smiled and said, "You can ask my sister-in-law to pay for the ticket. Ask her to take out the ticket so I can see it."
Hearing Tang Wanning's words, Li Pandi's expression changed instantly.
