Ma Xiu Lan sent a pound of pastries to the front desk of the guesthouse and asked him to take good care of Xingmin in the next few days and not let the Zhao family take advantage of her absence to target Xingmin.
Then she packed her money and put on the army green water bottle that her daughter bought for her.
I took some cakes I had bought in advance and prepared to go out.
I just got on the train and found my seat with my ticket.
But he found a woman in her thirties wearing grey clothes with a big belly sitting on it.
Before she could say anything, the woman said, "Sister, I'm pregnant and I can't buy a seat. I can't stand. Please give me your seat."
"Where are you getting off?"
"Yun City."
It turned out to be the same place as mine, which is three days' journey.
When Ma Xiulan thought about the three-day journey, she realized that it would be very difficult for her to stand all the way. However, as a woman, she had also been pregnant before, and she knew that when the month was late, it would be uncomfortable to even sit with a bulging belly, let alone stand.
"Then you sit down."
If I had known this earlier, I would have taken a small stool and sat in the aisle.
Ma Xiulan had been standing for two or three hours, and her waist and legs felt sore and numb, so she moved her arms and legs to loosen up her body. At this time, a man passed by in the aisle and bumped into her.
It happened suddenly, and Ma Xiulan fell uncontrollably onto the pregnant woman in gray clothes who was sitting on the seat.
She was so scared because the girl next to her was pregnant.
Huang Ping, the woman in gray, immediately clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, accusing Ma Xiulan with a resentful look on her face:
"You hit my belly. What if something happens to me? This is my first child. You have to compensate me ten dollars. I'm going to the hospital after getting off the car."
Ma Xiulan turned around to look for him, but the man who bumped into her had already left.
The people around also looked at Ma Xiulan accusingly.
"Why are you so careless?"
"This child is a little life."
"Ten dollars is really not much."
Hearing the voices of support from the crowd, Huang Ping looked at Ma Xiu Lan proudly. Her tricks never failed.
Ma Xiulan slapped Huang Ping twice: "You liar, you dare to deceive me!"
Huang Ping didn't expect that Ma Xiu Lan not only refused to pay, but also dared to hit her. She stood up without thinking and wanted to slap Ma Xiu Lan.
While she was standing up, Ma Xiulan pulled the collar of her shirt and pulled out the pillow stuffed inside.
Huang Ping quickly covered her stomach.
The passengers around were stunned by the twist.
I originally thought that Ma Xiu Lan hit a pregnant woman, refused to pay compensation, and even beat people arrogantly. She was really a bad person.
I didn't expect that this fake pregnant woman was deliberately trying to scam me.
Ma Xiu Lan pulled Huang Ping up from her seat.
He said to the crowd:
"I had just gotten on the bus when she said she was pregnant and took my seat. I was kind enough not to say anything and just stood next to her. Unexpectedly, when we were squeezed by the crowd, I noticed something was wrong with her belly. Before I could tell her, she started to extort money."
The plump, white lady sitting in the middle was filled with righteous indignation: "What a sin! Instead of doing what a good person would do, they do things that only animals would do."
Huang Ping stood in the aisle, listening to everyone pointing and talking. She covered her face and ran to the next car.
Ma Xiulan grabbed his arm and wouldn't let him leave.
At this time, the conductor heard the commotion here and rushed over.
Hearing the chatter of people around him, he grabbed Huang Ping and criticized her, asking her to apologize to Ma Xiu Lan.
Huang Ping glared at Ma Xiulan.
Seeing her like this, Ma Xiulan waved her hand and said, "I don't need her to apologize."
Huang Ping was delighted when she heard Ma Xiulan continue:
"I suspect the man who hit me just now is in cahoots with her. This might be a premeditated scam. I hope you can investigate further and prevent more passengers from being deceived."
Huang Ping's pupils shrank as she struggled, "I don't have any accomplices. This is my first time."
"Is this the first time? You need to cooperate with our investigation."
The conductor took Huang Ping away, and the man at the end of the carriage had a flickering look in his eyes.
After doing it so many times, I didn't expect that my wife and brother-in-law would be defeated by this old woman.
After Huang Ping left, the plump lady sitting in the middle pulled Ma Xiulan aside and complained:
"Just now she said she was pregnant and the man treated her badly, and she was really hungry. I was stupid and gave her an apple."
Ma Xiulan looked at the elder sister, whose eyes were peaceful and innocent, but at this moment she looked very annoyed.
"You're not stupid. You're kind, but you just happened to be taken advantage of by a scammer this time. If it was a truly pitiful pregnant woman, you would definitely be happy to help her."
After listening to Ma Xiulan's advice, Peng Hongying's mood suddenly brightened.
"Sister, my name is Peng Hongying."
"My name is Ma Xiulan."
After the two got to know each other, they started chatting and unexpectedly found that they got along very well.
At noon, Ma Xiulan took out some biscuits and chili sauce from her bag. Her daughter had bought her some biscuits to satisfy her hunger on the road, so she left the biscuits to her daughter. She was an adult, so why would she eat snacks? Besides, she always felt that eating steamed buns and biscuits made her stomach feel more at ease.
The buns Peng Hongying brought with her smelled delicious just from the chili sauce added by Ma Xiulan.
She swallowed.
"Sister Xiulan, I always like spicy food. Can you let me try your chili sauce? I won't try it for nothing. I will exchange my buns for you."
Ma Xiulan pushed the bottle of chili sauce towards Peng Hongying.
"No need to change, I made this myself, it's a worthless little thing, you can eat it as much as you want."
Peng Hongying picked up a small spoon and spread a little on her buns. The bright red color aroused her appetite.
As soon as you take a bite, the unique taste hits your taste buds.
"Sister, your chili sauce is so delicious. I feel like I can eat ten steamed buns in one go with this chili sauce."
After Peng Hongying finished speaking, the other four people sitting nearby also became interested and expressed their desire to try it.
Ma Xiulan took out her own chili sauce for everyone to eat, and also received other food shared by others.
She felt embarrassed to take advantage of others, so she bought some melon seeds for everyone to eat.
Peng Hongying was about to get off the bus halfway.
Looking at Ma Xiulan reluctantly, he said, "Sister Xiulan, I have eaten this chili sauce for three meals and it is still not enough. Can you send me some in the future? I won't take it for nothing."
After saying that, he wanted to find paper and pen to write the address, but he didn't find any. However, he found an envelope of his own.
There is an address on the envelope.
She gave the blank envelope to Ma Xiulan.
Ma Xiulan took it.
Huang Ping's husband, who had been staring at Ma Xiu Lan from a distance, finally caught this woman's weakness, and she actually dared to take advantage of the situation.
Huang Ping's husband called the conductor.
"Some people are selling things on the train. This is speculation."
Peng Hongying didn't expect that she would cause so much trouble to Ma Xiu Lan.
Ma Xiulan said calmly, "How could I be speculating?"
"I saw you accept the money from that older sister. The money was in an envelope."
