Chapter 21 On the Train



In the end, the man was detained. The conductor announced the news on the train and said that he would escort the man to the public security bureau at the next station. He also praised Old Mrs. Xia greatly.

The crowd was excited, and Old Mrs. Xia was very proud, because she was a very capable person.

Chen Xiangnan had been guarding the luggage for a long time, but Old Lady Xia didn't come back. He was still worried that something had happened, when he heard the broadcast praising Old Lady Xia, and was stunned.

Damn, became a hero who stood up for justice?

This little old lady, who was not even as tall as his chest when she stood up, actually punished evil and promoted good?

This is really scary, Chen Xiangnan, wake up quickly, you wouldn’t even dream of something like this.

He slapped his face hard and pinched his thigh with his hand.

Hiss, it hurts.

No...this isn't a dream?

He rubbed his eyes and saw Old Lady Xia coming to their seat with a young girl.

The girl politely exchanged seats with the passenger next to them using an apple.

"Are you getting off here too?" Old Mrs. Xia asked in surprise.

The girl nodded and said, "I'm from the Xiali Village Brigade of Xinyue Commune."

Old Lady Xia immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go to Lijia Village too. My daughter has been working in the countryside there for several years. Let's go see her. This is my son, Chen Xiangnan."

The girl nodded at him and said, "Hello, Brother Chen."

During the conversation, Mrs. Xia learned that the girl's name was Li Xiuzhu, and that she was traveling with her parents to City B to visit her sister. Her sister had followed her brother-in-law to join the army last year and was currently living in City B. She had just become pregnant, and the elders in the family were worried.

Her parents were busy, so she left her things and stayed for a day before going back early. She was playful and wanted to stay for a few more days. She thought it would be fine to come back alone and the journey was not far. She didn't expect something like this to happen.

Li Xiuzhu's eyes were filled with tears. If it weren't for this kind lady, she really didn't know what to do. Who would have thought that there were really bad guys on the train and she would run into them.

Old Mrs. Xia accepted Li Xiuzhu's thanks and asked people to inquire about Chen Xianghong's news.

Li Xiuzhu knew Chen Xianghong, but she wasn't very familiar with her. The girls in her village didn't like hanging out with the educated youth, feeling like they didn't fit in. Some of the educated youth looked down on them, but they weren't necessarily the same way.

The educated youth, feeling educated, disdained to associate with these unsophisticated people. They also disliked the educated youth's empty talk, so they would just talk big, but when they really went to work in the fields, they found that none of them were capable.

What's worse, some people are lazy even when they go to the fields, saying they have a headache or their legs hurt, just to avoid working.

When dividing the food, they started to haggle over it, and she looked down on them.

However, Li Xiuzhu told Old Lady Xia what she knew. Chen Zhiqing was a hard-working person, and Li Xiuzhu had no opinion of her.

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xia burst into tears.

She didn't expect that going to the countryside would be so hard.

Li Xiuzhu felt a little embarrassed that her words had brought her lifesaver to tears. She hadn't even mentioned the even more difficult spring planting and autumn harvest, and she didn't dare to say that.

Chen Xiangnan helplessly handed Old Lady Xia a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
