Chapter 79 Ignorance
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the pointing and talking of people around.
Su Nanzhi was not the type to be tongue-tied, and she immediately explained that she did not know the little boy.
Those who had just blamed her looked at each other in confusion, and some enthusiastic aunts and uncles looked around to find the parents of the little boy.
But no one suspected to be the boy's family members showed up.
The little boy cried for a long time. Seeing that Su Nanzhi didn't give in, he looked a little impatient, but cried even louder, attracting the passengers who were resting in the carriage to come out.
Because the child's parents could not be found, everyone's condemning eyes fell on Su Nanzhi again.
The girl with pigtails whispered, "The child is crying so pitifully. It's just a box lunch."
Su Nanzhi lived a new life, but she never thought of putting herself in a difficult position, and it was even more impossible for her to be angered by a few words from others.
"If you're so generous, why don't you buy him one?"
After saying that, he ignored the girl with two pigtails and opened his lunch box slowly.
Although this lunch box is not cheap, it is made with real ingredients, seven or eight pieces of braised pork, hot vegetables and potatoes, plus half a box of rice, which makes people's mouths water.
"This braised pork is so fragrant and delicious. It's the best braised pork I've ever eaten in my life..."
While eating, Su Nanzhi deliberately made eating noises.
"It's a shame, some people can't eat it no matter how much they cry."
"But I can't get any here. There are a lot of kind people in this car. I can ask them for some."
The passengers around did not expect Su Nanzhi to react like this. After meeting the little boy's greedy gaze, they all lowered their heads.
They can't bear to eat the one-yuan lunch box themselves, so how can they give it to a stranger? They are not crazy.
On the other hand, the girl with two braids was still young and energetic. She felt that although Su Nanzhi was dressed neatly, it looked like her family was not well off. She was so arrogant when she went out and would not keep a low profile.
Most of all, she felt so ashamed.
Seeing the little boy's greedy eyes looking at her, she got a little angry and took out a dollar from her pocket and slammed it on the table.
"It's just a box lunch, what's the big deal, kid, go buy some lunch..."
Before she was even speaking, the little boy had already stepped forward, snatched the coin away, and put it back in his pocket.
The little boy didn't even say thank you. He just looked at the pocket where the girl with the pigtails put her money and said greedily, "Not enough."
When she took out the money and gave it to the little boy, the girl with two pigtails regretted it. She didn't expect that the little boy would become even more demanding.
Although she was a bit reckless, she was not stupid enough to give money to others just to vent her anger, especially when she saw Su Nanzhi holding the lunch box and watching the joke.
The girl with pigtails blushed and asked the little boy, "Where are your family members? You're running around by yourself, and they're worried. If you don't tell the truth, I'll have the police arrest you."
"Dabao, why are you here?" At this moment, an old lady suddenly rushed out from the side. She looked anxious and kept apologizing to the girl with double pigtails, "Oh, little girl, I'm sorry. My Dabao is not sensible. Did he do something wrong?"
The old lady looked to be in her sixties or seventies, with a weathered face, gray hair, and clothes full of patches. She kept bowing and apologizing to the girl with two pigtails.
Seeing this, the girl with double pigtails, who was originally a little angry, was actually thin-skinned and just waved her hands helplessly, "It's okay."
The old lady didn't know whether she really thought her grandson was obedient or she couldn't read his expression, but after hearing the expression of the girl with pigtails, she really felt that everything was fine.
Looking at this scene, Su Nanzhi felt that the lunch box tasted even better.
Dabao touched his belly and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry."
The old lady immediately showed an embarrassment on her face, "Just bear with it a little longer, drink some water and you'll be full."
As she spoke, her eyes darted around, finally stopping at Su Nanzhi, who was closest to them and was eating a box lunch.
"If we save some money, your parents can get more medicine, your sister can drink more milk, and the money for grandpa's coffin can be returned to the villagers sooner." When she said this, the old lady's eyes were red. "It's all because of the useless milk, Dabao, be good."
This tragic life story is so heartbreaking that it makes people cry when they hear about it and feel sad when they see it.
The passengers who had just thought that the little boy had bad upbringing now only had the thought that this whole family was really pitiful.
There were even many enthusiastic passengers who actually gave the old man and his wife snacks, such as peanuts, corn, and big steamed buns.
Although the old lady was making excuses, her actions were still very frank and she accepted whatever was offered.
Dabao's two pockets were bulging with food, but his eyes were still fixed on Su Nanzhi's lunch box.
What about peanuts and corn? How can they be as delicious as braised pork?
The old lady naturally noticed Dabao's gaze, and smiled at Su Nanzhi a little embarrassedly, and said to Dabao: "Dabao, it's all because of your milk. You are four years old and have never eaten meat. Just smell the meat and satisfy your craving."
Su Nanzhi: ...
The girl with two pigtails was moved by Dabao's life story, and her eyes were a little red. Looking at Dabao's eager expression, she said to Su Nanzhi, "Are you still human? How could you be so cold-blooded as to watch such a pitiful Dabao watching you eat?"
"Oh, little girl, don't say that. It's not easy for everyone." The old lady immediately came out to smooth things over, but her words were not quite right. "If you want to blame someone, blame it on my unfortunate life."
Su Nanzhi scooped up a spoonful of rice and ate it. This time, she said slowly, "Of course, it's the child's fate that's to blame."
"Are you still going to blame me for eating in front of you?"
The girl with two pigtails had redder eyes because she was angry with Su Nanzhi.
Just as she was about to speak, Su Nanzhi interrupted her and sighed deeply.
"Ah, it's just my bad luck. My grandparents died when I was born. A few years later, my parents also died. I was sent to my fiancé's house. From then on, I got up earlier than the chickens, slept later than the dogs, ate worse than the pigs, and worked harder than the cows. My fiancé became an officer. I thought I had a good life, but I didn't expect him to cheat on me."
At this point, she took a big bite of meat, looking sad, "This is the first time I've eaten meat since my parents died."
Everyone: ...
The girl with twin ponytails was shocked and looked at Su Nanzhi in disbelief.
"Are you...are you telling the truth?"
After seeing Su Nanzhi nod, she had only one thought in her mind.
Damn her.
As for the possibility that Su Nanzhi was telling lies?
Even the most heartless person wouldn't curse their family, right? Or the whole family.
The lady who had been full of confidence just now didn't expect to hear what Su Nanzhi said, and her face was instantly covered with embarrassment.
"Dabao, wait until the New Year comes and the villagers distribute the New Year pig, then we can eat it."
Dabao was a little kid and couldn't understand the expressions on his face. When he couldn't eat the meat, he started crying again.
Just then, a lunch box filled with meat appeared in front of Xiaobao.
"For my brother to eat."
