On the train.
The four people entered the carriage.
As usual, they bought two sleeper tickets, which filled up a carriage.
The two children are only three years old and don't need tickets; one carriage is enough for them.
Gu Lichen and Xiao Bao had never ridden a train before, and Xiao Bao had never even seen one.
From the moment they boarded the train, those dark eyes kept darting around, looking left and right, not missing a single spot.
With so many eyes to see, Gu Sinian needed to carry luggage and didn't have a spare hand to hold his precious daughter's hand, for fear that she might fall.
"Xiao Bao, don't just look at the car, watch your step, don't fall."
Xiao Bao's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. "No, don't worry, Dad, I won't fall."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Bao lost his balance and fell straight forward. Gu Sinian dropped his luggage and swiftly caught him, preventing Xiao Bao from falling.
Holding him tightly in strong arms, Xiao Bao felt very safe and clung to Gu Sinian's neck, smiling sweetly.
"Thank you, Dad."
My daughter sweetly called me "Dad," and I felt so happy. Raising a daughter and raising a son are completely different experiences.
Gu Lichen, that brat, is all grown up now and won't even let him hold him, which makes him feel very frustrated. He doesn't feel the same way his son used to need him, and he feels empty inside.
But now that feeling of being needed is back, and it couldn't be better.
Seeing that her daughter was being held by someone, and that Gu Lichen was too independent, Su Ying had no choice but to resign herself to carrying the luggage herself.
Fortunately, she had stored all the heavy items in her spatial storage, and the remaining items were not heavy, so she could carry them even without Gu Sinian's help.
No matter how heavy or light the luggage was, Gu Sinian never let her carry luggage or heavy items.
After all, he was incredibly strong; how could he let his young wife do such a thing?
As she bent down to pick up her things, Gu Sinian was one step ahead and grabbed the luggage in his hands.
"This bag is too heavy, you can carry that one."
"Sure."
Since the man has said that, she won't be ungrateful.
After all, the duffel bag was quite heavy, and although she could lift it, it was still a bit strenuous for her.
When traveling, it's still necessary to maintain a certain level of disguise. Although most of her luggage was packed into her personal space, she still put quite a few items in her luggage bag to avoid being noticed.
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.
The family of four is so good-looking that it has attracted a lot of attention and scrutiny.
Many people looked at Gu Sinian with disdain when he carried his daughter while letting his son walk alone.
An old woman curled her lips into a mocking smile, "Is it necessary to protect someone who's just a money-loser so carefully?"
"So what if you fell... it's not like you'll die... a son is the hope of a family. If you treat your daughter well and ignore your son, you'll regret it later."
“Once your daughter grows up, she belongs to someone else’s family. She’s someone else’s daughter-in-law, someone else’s daughter-in-law. What does she have to do with you? She’s just a money-losing burden.”
Su Ying and Gu Sinian used to disregard such comments, but now that Xiao Bao has just been found, they are very sensitive.
If they do nothing today... Xiao Bao will take these words seriously, and it will be harder than climbing to heaven to correct them later.
Su Ying hurled her luggage at the old woman, hitting her squarely in the face.
The old lady who was hit was completely bewildered. Ignoring the pain, she jumped in and wanted to yell at people.
"You...you...how dare you smash my things...this is murder..."
"So what if I smash it? Do I need to discuss it with you?"
The old lady was furious and stepped forward to hit someone, but before she knew it, Gu Sinian had already reached Su Ying and grabbed the hand that was being violently thrown down.
"What? You want to hit someone?"
"So what if I hit you? Your wife hit me with a duffel bag, that's murder."
Gu Sinian gave a mocking smile, "If your mouth weren't so foul, we wouldn't have crossed paths today."
"How am I being foul-mouthed? I'm just telling the truth."
Su Ying spat fiercely, "Just because you're mentally ill doesn't mean everyone is. Women hold up half the sky. What did you just say? You insulted my daughter by calling her a worthless piece of trash."
"Women are just a money-losing commodity! Am I wrong? Once a daughter grows up, she belongs to someone else's family and has nothing to do with yours."
Su sneered, "What other people's families? My daughter will always be my family's. I'm not like those heartless lunatics who can't wait to kick their daughters out once they grow up."
“My daughter has never been a financial burden for my husband and me; she is our precious treasure. How can you say such things to a child? Don’t you feel guilty?”
The old woman persisted, "A good-for-nothing should contribute to the family. When she grows up, we'll collect a dowry. What I said is wrong."
Su Ying didn't want to say a word to this remnant of feudalism; it would be a waste of her breath.
This idea was deeply ingrained in the old lady's mind and could not be changed by a few words.
She might as well save her breath and warm her stomach.
Once Xiaobao gets her justice and realizes that she is important and not a burden, she will gradually come to her senses.
There's no point in talking to a mentally ill old lady.
"I don't care what you think, but I'm warning you to watch your mouth from now on, or you'll regret it later."
“It’s an idiot to belittle my daughter, who is also a woman, like that.”
"If you can't even respect yourself, how can you expect anyone else to respect you?"
