But Fang Yaoqing didn't think that way. He was already gloomy and unhappy when he was first bumped into by outsiders.
Later, there were a few more incidents where people accidentally bumped into him. Fang Yaoqing immediately frowned and said, "Are you blind? Can't you see who bumped into you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." He kept apologizing after bumping into Fang Yaoqing, feeling quite uneasy, afraid that Fang Yaoqing would hold a grudge.
These people are all dressed well and are from the city, which means they are relatively well-off. People like this are prone to being petty and looking down on people from the countryside.
However, most of the people who bought standing tickets were rural people who were reluctant to spend money, so they could only lower their heads and let Fang Yaoqing scold them as if they were scolding his grandson.
However, Zhang Qinghua and Zhang Aiai had already given each other face, and Zhang Qinghua was so gloomy that he was practically dripping with water.
Seeing Fang Yaoqing constantly cursing, Zhang Qinghua first said to the uneasy farmer, "Brother, it's okay, you don't need to feel sorry."
"It was all an accident, everyone understands."
After saying that, he stared at Fang Yaoqing with a sinister look and asked, "What else do you want?"
"Fang Yaoqing, you also come from the countryside, how can you not understand the situation? Why are you still so unforgiving?"
Zhang Qinghua simply couldn't stand Fang Yaoqing's behavior, and he knew exactly what Fang Yaoqing was thinking.
Looking down on rural people? Haha, you yourself are from a rural area. Who do you look down on?
"I...I was just angry and couldn't help it." Now that Zhang Qinghua was alone, Fang Yaoqing wasn't so afraid.
Zhang Qinghua is capable of handling things on his own. Besides, we're on a train now, and Zhang Qinghua wouldn't hit anyone.
Fang Yaoqing was fearless, so he spoke with some confidence and could even talk back a little.
Zhang Qinghua sneered, "Couldn't hold back? Very well." Hopefully, you still couldn't hold back next time.
Fang Yaoqing, some scores will eventually have to be settled. You can be smug now, but when the time comes, we'll settle both the old and new scores together. I'll keep a record of it for you.
Zhang Qinghua gave Fang Yaoqing a cool look and then ignored him, turning his head to look at the scenery rushing past the car window, lost in thought.
Around noon, Zhang Aiai took out the food that Song Lili had prepared for everyone, added some hot water, and prepared to eat.
Song Lili had prepared quite a lot, including boiled eggs, pancakes, steamed buns, and a few dishes for them to eat during their one or two meals on the bus.
The aroma alone was enough to tempt anyone, and many people around kept glancing at it.
Seeing the meat and eggs, many people's mouths watered; it looked so delicious that their already hungry stomachs began to protest.
Some people planned to hold back and eat it at the next meal, but now they can't stand it anymore. The smell keeps coming into their noses, and they really can't resist!
Many people took out their dry rations and ate them while enjoying the aroma, pretending that they were eating the same food.
Fang Yaoqing, on the other hand, felt a sense of superiority again. Seeing that everyone around him was eating hard steamed buns while they were the only ones eating well, he looked at everyone with a smug expression, as if he were high and mighty.
This made Zhang Qinghua feel like he was looking at someone with intellectual disabilities. What was there to be proud of?
Zhang Qinghua may have been away from such an environment for quite some time, which is why he couldn't recall it for a moment.
At this time, although everyone's lives were gradually improving, they were still in a period of scarcity.
Eating well can indeed make others envious, and it's understandable that some people might feel proud.
Fang Yaoqing has always been in this kind of environment, so he can naturally understand it clearly, which is why he is behaving this way now.
Although Zhang Aiai knew this, she didn't show it. Now she felt that Fang Yaoqing was particularly deserving of a beating, so it was better for her to behave herself.
Thinking back to how she used to be just like Fang Yaoqing, she felt ashamed and thankful that she had finally come to her senses.
Otherwise, if things continue like this, I guess my older brother and uncle will be completely disappointed in her, right?
Thank goodness!
After lunch, silence fell again. The seats they bought were relatively comfortable, but sitting for a long time was still quite uncomfortable.
Zhang Qinghua and Zhang Aiai would take turns getting up and moving around, and would also give up their seats to those who were standing so they could rest for a bit.
Two days passed just like that, and with only half a day left, Zhang Qinghua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Traveling by car is really tiring. Not only does it make you feel stiff all over, but it also makes you dizzy and lightheaded. It's even worse than being sick.
Thankfully, we're almost there.
Fang Xiaotao was already impatient and felt uncomfortable all over. But the car hadn't arrived yet, so she had to endure it even though she felt uncomfortable.
So she wouldn't sit still anymore and would always get up and walk around. Zhang Aiai was worried and followed her around.
This often leaves Fang Yaoqing and Zhang Qinghua alone, which makes Fang Yaoqing feel very uncomfortable and distressed.
When the train announcement said they had arrived, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally arrived!
If it lasted any longer, even adults would probably find it unbearable, let alone a child like Fang Xiaotao.
After leaving the train station, Zhang Qinghua bought a bus ticket to the county town, ate a little something, and then continued his journey.
It takes quite a while to get from the county seat to the town, and you'll need to transfer buses.
So, after a long and complicated journey, the four of them finally arrived at Hongqi Town.
Looking at Hongqi Town, which hadn't changed much, Zhang Qinghua breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally arrived.
After searching for a long time, they finally found an oxcart to Hongqi Village. The group got on and were able to rest for a while.
"Why are we going to Hongqi Village? Aren't we going home?" Fang Yaoqing was very dissatisfied. They were already home, so why were they turning around and going to his parents' house?
Zhang Qinghua gave Fang Yaoqing a cool look and said, "Let's go to Hongqi Village first. I'll go back with you tomorrow."
"Or you can go back first. I'll send Ai'ai and the child over tomorrow. You can decide what to do."
Fang Yaoqing was returned, and Zhang Qinghua had fulfilled his responsibility, so naturally his attitude towards Fang Yaoqing became even worse.
However, Fang Yaoqing certainly wouldn't be able to tell; only those who were close to Zhang Qinghua could detect it.
For example, Zhang Aiai noticed that Fang Yaoqing seemed to dislike her a little more.
"You..." Fang Yaoqing choked, and after a long while, he said irritably, "I'm going home."
Hmph, now that I'm in my house, on my turf, I'm not going to be swayed by your attitude or treat you like a servant.
If you want to take these two wretches with you when you run, then go ahead and take them. It'll save you some food. Why wouldn't he want to?
Since you're willing, then take them back. Anyway, he'd be happy not to keep these two good-for-nothings.
Fang Yaoqing thought smugly, his gaze towards Zhang Qinghua also changing. He was no longer afraid, as if he had found something to rely on and was showing signs of rising up.
