Chapter 39: Bumpkin

Sun Meixiang nodded in agreement.

The conductor looked at Zhou Nuan again, and said in a gentler tone, "Let's talk slowly if you have something to say. Don't scare the child."

Zhou Nuan said calmly, "Of course I don't want to cause trouble, but I am a petty person. If people don't provoke me, I won't provoke them. If people provoke me, I will return them double."

The conductor had no choice but to persuade them a few more times before leaving.

Sun Meixiang didn't dare to cause any more trouble. She just snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Zhou Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to her and lowered her head to tease Xiaodong.

Su Hang came closer, "Aunt, are you okay?"

The little guy was actually worried about her. Zhou Nuan smiled and said, "It's okay. What can happen to me? I, your aunt, am not a soft-faced person. I can't stand the slightest thing."

If that were the case, how could she bring her whole family to look for someone from so far away?

Su Hang did not breathe a sigh of relief, but instead looked a little worried, "Aunt, that lady just now doesn't look like an ordinary person, did we offend her?"

Zhou Nuan glanced at him. Su Hang was only eight years old, yet he was so precocious. It was true that children from poor families grew up early and understood everything about the ways of the world, not to mention that he was precocious.

"It's okay, don't worry, maybe you won't see me again in the future."

These words were just to comfort him. Zhou Nuan knew that she would have to deal with Ji Huayan in the future. After all, in the original book, she and Gu Xiyue were entangled.

Su Hang said, "It's best if I don't see her. I don't like her at all. I always feel that I will see that aunt again in the future. Aunt, if you run into her in the future, stay away from her."

Zhou Nuan was surprised. This child was more sensitive than she thought.

"Okay, aunt, stay away from her." Your uncle does the same.

After the conductor's warning, Sun Meixiang didn't dare to cause trouble again. It was late at night, and the whole family was tired and sleepy, leaning against each other and fell asleep.

When I woke up, we were almost in Haicheng. Everyone on the train had woken up and noisy sounds could be heard coming from me.

"We will arrive in Haicheng in half an hour, so hurry up and get ready."

Zhou Nuan quickly woke up Qin Yuezhi, washed her up, and prepared milk powder for Xiaodong and Xiaoxi. The little ones opened their round eyes and ate sweetly, which made people's hearts melt.

Just then a dining cart came over, so they ordered some Haicheng-specific breakfast items. The three of them ate with gusto, and Sun Meixiang suddenly felt that the dry food in her hand was no longer tasty.

I wanted to buy some but I didn't have much money, so I could only say sourly, "You spendthrift woman, if I were your man, I would definitely not want you."

Zhou Nuan ate even more happily.

Time passed quickly. We had just finished breakfast when the train stopped at the station and arrived in Haicheng.

Sun Meixiang got out of the car first and rolled her eyes at her before leaving.

Zhou Nuan waited until most people had left before taking Qin Yue and Su Hang off the train. As soon as they got off the train, the hot weather made them sweat all of a sudden.

How could she forget that Haicheng is famous for having only two seasons a year, and now it is summer, so hot that people can hardly breathe.

Zhou Nuan hurriedly loosened the clothes of the two children. Even adults couldn't stand such hot weather, let alone children who were afraid of heat.

There were many people leaving the station, and the crowd was crowded. Zhou Nuan tried hard to hold the hands of an old man and a child, and finally followed the crowd out of the station. As soon as she left the station, a group of people surrounded her.

"Girl, do you want to take a car? Go there, take my car and I guarantee the price is fair..."

"Girl, where's the accommodation? It's a large single room, clean and hygienic."

"pretty girl.."

"pretty girl.."

Zhou Nuan was surrounded by calls of "beautiful girl" and almost got lost in this maze. She had been to this place before in modern times, but she had always been there by plane. She had never felt such enthusiastic service before.

After all, she was not dazzled by the sounds of beautiful girls, and she took great pains to pull her family out from the crowd.

There are many illegal shops and taxis these days, so she has to be on guard. Although taking an illegal taxi is much more convenient, for the safety of her family, she still chooses to take the bus.

Fortunately, there are more buses in Haicheng than in Jiangzhou, so she found the bus she wanted to take without much searching.

Before I got on the bus and sat down, a fat middle-aged conductor came over and asked in a stiff Mandarin, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go to Da'an Road, Baohu District."

Zhou Nuan told the address where Gu Xiyue sent the money. The ticket seller tore off three tickets and handed them over. "Six yuan."

It really is Haicheng, even the train ticket price is more expensive than Jiangzhou.

Zhou Nuan paid for the ticket, and the ticket seller took it away and urged people to go inside. "Go sit inside, why are you standing at the door blocking the way?"

She looked inside and saw that most people were seated, so she called out to the side, "Hey, can't you see that these people are all elderly and children? How dare you take up seats? Get up, get up."

The man raised his head reluctantly, and Zhou Nuan laughed when he saw him.

It is true that enemies often meet each other. Who else could this be but Sun Meixiang?

Sun Meixiang gritted her teeth and said, "Why should I give up my seat? I was here first!"

The ticket seller's round face wrinkled into a ball, his eyes glared, and he fired at Sun Meixiang rudely, "How dare you? It's ok to take up the love seat, but you have to take up two seats by yourself, and the luggage also takes up a seat. Did you buy a ticket for your luggage?"

"You didn't buy it? If you didn't buy it, lift it up and go to the back. These are seats for the elderly, the weak, and the disabled. Don't be so shameless when you're that old."

Everyone in the car looked at Sun Meixiang. Sun Meixiang blushed with embarrassment. She glared at Zhou Nuan fiercely and walked angrily to the back of the car carrying her luggage.

Zhou Nuan held back her laughter, and asked Qin Yuezhi and Su Hang to sit down with the child, while she stood by and watched.

Along the way, there was a faint murderous gaze staring at her, following her like a shadow, but Zhou Nuan just pretended she didn't exist.

After another half an hour's bus ride, we arrived at Baohu District.

Qin Yuezhi followed everyone out of the car and was stunned by the tall buildings in front of her. This coastal city was more prosperous than she had imagined. It was really beyond her imagination.

"This building is really tall, aren't you afraid of living up there?"

Zhou Nuan smiled: Compared to the skyscrapers of the future, this is just a prototype.

"Mom, let's go."

Qin Yuezhi reluctantly withdrew her gaze and was about to follow when she was hit hard from behind and a mocking voice came to her ears.

"Bumpkin!"

She frowned as she watched Sun Meixiang walk away triumphantly, but still endured it without telling Zhou Nuan.

Following Zhou Nuan, turning east and west, they finally found the address in Gu Xiyue's letter. To their surprise, they ran into Sun Meixiang again at the end of the road. She was standing with a short and fat old woman.

Seeing them, Sun Meixiang frowned and asked rudely, "Why are you following me? Are you sick?"

Zhou Nuan raised her eyebrows, "How ridiculous! This road is not yours."
