Chapter 141 Unreasonable Person
She was not afraid that a grown-up girl like her would dare to go against their family. Even if she was unhappy about suffering a little loss, she could only swallow her grievances.
As for this nosy old lady, huh, don't be afraid, she doesn't look like a tough person.
Jiang Haitang was so angry that her chest heaved. How could she meet such an obviously unreasonable family on the train?
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and tried to speak clearly and powerfully to drown out the other party's noise.
"Rules are rules! They're set by the state, and the train ticket is proof of your seat! You're occupying a seat without a ticket, and that's wrong! Please leave this berth immediately and return the blanket to my daughter!"
"Return? Why? What's wrong with holding my grandson for a while? It won't hurt!"
The old woman waved her hand arrogantly and sat down next to the travel bag that Jiang Haitang had placed on the ground. The snakeskin bag was almost touching her legs.
"We'll just sit here! We won't leave today! If you have the guts, call the train police! I want to see if the train police will help the poor people with babies or you guys in tweed coats!"
"You..." Jiang Haitang looked at the other party's rogue posture, and felt sorry for her daughter's beloved little flower being held tightly by the little boy. She felt anxious and annoyed.
She looked around, hoping that a flight attendant or a caring passenger would come over and seek justice.
There were indeed a few people around who were attracted by the quarrel and looked in, but they all had the mentality of minding their own business and just watched without saying anything.
The little boy was kicking his legs proudly on the bunk, laughing happily with the small flower quilt covering his head.
"You are too unreasonable. This is not your place. Please move away." Zhao Xiaomei and Jiang Haitang stood side by side and said righteously.
The young woman snorted coldly and said, "What a nosy person! Believe it or not, he even took your place."
Although there were two people on the other side, the old lady was too old to dare to attack, so this weak little girl was easy to deal with.
"Are you being unreasonable?" Jiang Haitang's face turned red with anger.
Just then, footsteps and a familiar call were heard from the connection between the carriages.
"Haitang? What's wrong?"
It was Lu Liangchen's voice! He came back carrying Xiao Taozi, who had just been playing on the platform.
When Xiao Taozi saw her quilt being played with by a strange boy, her mouth pursed and she cried out in a sobbing voice, "Mom! Quilt! My quilt!"
When Lu Liangchen saw this scene, Jiang Haitang was so angry that her face turned pale. A strange old woman was sitting on the ground blocking their position, a strange boy was occupying his daughter's bed and holding her quilt, and there was a young woman next to him who was staring at him covetously.
Tao Yu, the old lady, and Zhao Xiaomei, the grandmother and granddaughter, were even more furious. He understood about 70% of the situation in an instant.
Lu Liangchen's thick black eyebrows immediately twisted into knots. His intimidating presence and protective instinct caused the air pressure around him to drop suddenly.
He stuffed Xiao Taozi into Jiang Haitang's arms, and stood forward with his tall body, like a wall separating his wife and daughter from the quarrelsome family.
His eyes flashed like lightning, sweeping over the old woman and the young woman, and finally stopped at the little boy on the bunk.
Both the old woman and the young woman thought that Jiang Haitang was alone, so they dared to bully Jiang Haitang. Now that a man suddenly appeared, their momentum instantly weakened.
Especially the young woman, she avoided looking at Lu Liangchen and didn't even dare to look at him. She suspected that this man could send her away with just one kick.
Lu Liangchen's voice was not loud, but it was like a cold iron ingot hitting the narrow space of the carriage, instantly suppressing all the noise.
"Comrade, this is our bunk. Please, leave immediately!"
His gaze finally fell on the small floral quilt the little boy was holding tightly, and he added, "Also, put my daughter's things down."
His upright posture and the fortitude between his brows, tempered by battle, created a silent deterrent.
Lu Liangchen's awe-inspiring presence made the carriage quiet.
The young woman shrank back subconsciously.
The little boy on the bunk seemed to sense the danger as well. He loosened his grip on the quilt and looked at his grandmother bewilderedly.
The sullen old woman was like a duck with its neck strangled, her shrill curses stuck in her throat, and a barely perceptible flash of panic passed through her cloudy eyes.
She subconsciously straightened her hunched back, trying to regain her momentum, but facing Lu Liangchen's sharp gaze, her confidence was obviously lost.
She coughed dryly, and although her voice was still loud, it lacked the confidence she had before.
"Who... who are you? Who are you trying to scare? My... my grandson just likes this quilt. What's wrong with him sitting on it for a while? This train belongs to the government, not you!"
The young woman shrank behind her mother-in-law, her eyes dodging, not daring to meet Lu Liangchen's gaze, but she still muttered softly: "It's just... the child is young..."
The little boy on the bunk was frightened by Lu Liangchen's aura. He completely loosened his hands that were holding the small flower quilt, shrank back, and the smug smile on his face disappeared, replaced by confusion and a hint of fear.
"Milk……"
"Daddy! My quilt! He stole my quilt!"
Only then did Xiao Taozi realize that her quilt had been snatched away. She instantly burst into tears, her little hand pointing at the boy on the bunk, tears falling like beads from a broken string.
His daughter's crying pierced Lu Liangchen's heart like a needle, and also ignited his suppressed anger.
He took a step forward, his tall figure almost blocking out some of the light in the entire bunk.
He didn't look at the old woman again, his eyes were fixed directly on the little boy, his tone was unquestionable.
"Little boy, get up. This is someone else's place, someone else's things, you can't take them."
His voice was not fierce, but it had an irresistible power.
The little boy was completely frightened by the momentum. He cried out "Wow" and climbed down from the bunk using his hands and feet and hid behind his grandmother.
"You...you're a grown man, how can you scare a child?"
Seeing her grandson being "bullied", the old woman felt distressed and mustered up some strength. She reached out to push her grandson back to the bunk, but she was obviously hesitant.
"Comrade!" Grandma Tao couldn't help but speak again, her tone somewhat serious. "Comrade is right! The ticket is proof of ownership! You are being unreasonable, occupying other people's berths, and even stealing children's things. This is outrageous! If this were in the old society, you would be acting like bandits! Now in the new society, we must be reasonable and abide by the rules!"
"You're talking nonsense!" The old woman was furious. She didn't dare to throw a tantrum at this murderous man, but she couldn't throw a tantrum at an old lady?
She immediately changed her tone, "What's wrong with us poor peasants taking a train? Are you city people wearing military uniforms so fancy? My grandson likes this flower quilt, he thinks highly of her!"
"Enough!" Lu Liangchen suddenly shouted, shocking the old woman.
He glanced coldly at the old woman and the young woman. "First, this isn't a 'quilt head,' it's my daughter's beloved little floral quilt. Second, train seats must be assigned to designated seats. This is a national regulation! Third, your actions constitute misappropriation of other people's property and a disruption of public order!"
He stopped talking nonsense, turned his head to look at the connection between the carriages, and said loudly: "Comrade conductor! Someone here is occupying a seat and disrupting order. Please come and deal with it!"
He was full of energy and his voice came out clearly.
The effect of his voice was immediate.
The old woman's face turned pale, and the young woman was even more panicked. She was shaking and whispered to her mother-in-law quickly: "Mom... Mom! Forget it... The train police are coming..."
"So what if the train police come? I...I haven't broken any law!"
The old woman still spoke toughly, but her eyes had already begun to look around in panic. Her buttocks, which were sitting on the ground, also lifted up unconsciously, and she subconsciously wanted to pull the snakeskin bag on the ground.
At this moment, a conductor wearing a dark blue uniform and a wide-brimmed hat came over quickly after hearing the sound, followed by a train attendant.
The conductor, in his forties, had a serious expression on his face. He scanned the chaotic scene, "What's going on? What's the commotion?"
"Comrade conductor!" Jiang Haitang immediately stepped forward and handed over the ticket, her voice clear and crisp. "This is our berth, and the ticket is here. This family of three has forcibly occupied our berth and even snatched my daughter's quilt to play with. They refused to listen to anything I said and even cursed!"
"They're talking nonsense!" the old woman said, her voice shrill and obviously breathless. "My...my grandson just sat down for a moment, and the quilt fell to the ground by itself...We...we didn't try to steal it! It's those city people who look down on us poor and lower-middle peasants and bully us honest people!"
She confuses right and wrong and tries to confuse the public by using "class".
The young woman lowered her head and dared not say a word.
Grandma Tao immediately pointed to the snakeskin bag on the ground and the seat where the old woman had just sat. "Flight attendant, I can testify! They were the ones who forcibly occupied the seats and even sat next to the girl's luggage, blocking the road! That little boy was indeed holding onto the girl's blanket and wouldn't let go, even refusing to let go when the mother asked!"
Finally, a few brave passengers around him whispered in agreement: "Yes, they are unreasonable..."
"I have a ticket..."
The conductor was very experienced. As soon as he saw the scene and compared it with the tickets, he had already made a judgment in his mind.
They have seen many unreasonable people like this, but they don’t know if this old woman is confused. Why did she find such a big iron board to kick?
She didn't even consider whether this young man was someone they could bully.
With a stern face, he looked at the old woman and her family first: "Where are your tickets? Take them out and let me see them."
The old woman's eyes flickered as she stammered, "The ticket... the ticket is on my son. He... he's in another carriage..."
