"I bought the ticket, and I got here first!"
The conductor answered with a frown, tilting his head back, trying to avoid the old woman's spit.
"So what if we bought the tickets? Who doesn't have a ticket? Then why should we stand while she, a little kid, sits?"
The old woman started yelling unreasonably, spitting everywhere, causing everyone around her, including the ticket seller, to look disgusted and avoid her.
The conductor frowned, looked at the man beside him and said, "Sir, please take care of your mother and stop making trouble."
"Hey... who is being unreasonable? Say it again? Do you believe that I will lie down on your car and won't be able to get off?"
The old woman refused to give in and even pushed the ticket seller twice.
For some reason, the man became anxious and tugged at the old woman's hand, signaling her to stop making trouble.
At this moment, the ticket seller's expression suddenly became strange, and his suspicious eyes wandered over the faces of the mother and son.
"No, I don't think I took any money from you just now. Where are your tickets? Let me see."
As soon as the words were spoken, both mother and son's faces froze.
The expressions of the people in the car who were watching the show also became very interesting.
"I was wondering, you guys were rushing over here just now, it turns out you were trying to evade the ticket!"
Chen Wang had already sat back down, folded his arms, and spoke with a playful smile.
"You asked me to give up my seat even though I didn't buy a ticket. You are so mean. I, a child, have bought a ticket."
The little girl complained loudly in a childish voice.
This time, the passengers who were watching the fun couldn't help themselves and started to join in.
"She didn't have a ticket, but she asked someone to give up her seat when she got on. What kind of person is this? I'm speechless!"
"So, it's not that the old people have become bad, it's that the bad people have become old."
"They really are a family, like mother, like son. Shame on you!"
"You can't even get the money for the train ticket?"
"Other children are more sensible than them."
…
The old woman and her son listened to the discussions around them and felt so anxious that they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"We were the last ones to get on the bus. It was you who hadn't bought the ticket from us yet. What does it have to do with us?"
The old woman was still being stubborn and shameless, worthy of being someone who had lived for most of her life and was buried in the earth up to her neck.
"Then why are you crowding in the back?"
The ticket seller waved his hand with a sullen face and said, "Forget it, buy your tickets now. Where are you going?"
"Let's go to the city."
Seeing he couldn't escape, the man could only search his trouser pocket for money.
"Eighty cents per person, one dollar and sixty cents for two."
The conductor said calmly.
"One dollar and sixty cents? So expensive?"
The man blurted out subconsciously.
"It's always this price. If you don't have money to buy a ticket, get off. I'll ask the driver to stop the car."
The ticket seller said bluntly.
"No, no, no, I have money, I have money."
The man objected hurriedly and took out a handful of change from his pocket.
Most of them are in denominations of a few cents, and the largest denomination is 20 cents.
I counted them all, and it turned out to be only one dollar and three cents short.
The man looked at his old mother with an unpleasant expression.
"It's so expensive to take a bus, and there's no seat. If you're not going to the city to find my eldest son, I wouldn't give you a penny..."
As the old woman continued to mutter, she took out a cloth bag, took out a five-cent coin and handed it to her son.
"Here you go. I told you we're not trying to evade the ticket. We're just looking for seats in the back."
The man handed the money to the ticket seller, wanting to save his face with a sense of righteousness.
The ticket seller was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them. He just gave him two cents in change and turned to go to the front.
Just then, the bus turned a corner and the old woman who was standing was almost shaken and fell down. She was supported by the man with his quick eyes and hands.
After the old woman stood up, she gasped and looked at the little girl sitting inside.
The little girl raised her chin and said crisply, "Why are you looking at me? I won't give you a seat. I bought the ticket. Don't look at me. I hate you."
"puff!"
"Hahaha……"
Several passengers laughed at the same time when they heard this.
The mother and son were extremely embarrassed, but they didn't dare to ask for another seat.
"Humph! Each generation is really worse than the previous one. They are so evil and have no traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young."
The old woman was still complaining.
"Respecting the old and loving the young depends on the person. People like you who take advantage of your age don't count. What's more, my sister is also a child. Why don't you take care of her?"
Chen Wang's tone was calm.
“Well said!”
The big brother next to him suddenly cheered loudly.
"What a sharp-tongued brat!"
The old woman glared at Chen Wang fiercely.
"Then you are really an old woman who doesn't respect her age."
Chen Wang smiled coldly.
"Ha ha……"
There was another burst of laughter around.
The old woman was so angry that she covered her chest and gasped, pretending to be having a heart attack.
"Please, stop pretending. It doesn't look like it at all. Why don't you lie down and pretend to be dead? Maybe it will look more like it."
"Hahaha……"
