"Oh dear, young lady, if I had money, I wouldn't be asking you for food. Please have mercy on me, my grandson hasn't had meat for days."
When the old woman heard that Fang Yuan was unhappy, she immediately started yelling at the top of her lungs.
In an instant, everyone in the carriage heard it.
Several people around them kept staring at them.
"Young lady, you're dressed well and you're not short of money. These old people and children look pitiful, so please give them some meat!"
A middle-aged woman who had also bought a serving of braised pork and was passing by looked at Fang Yuan and offered her advice.
"Yes, they are so pitiful. Auntie, you also bought some meat, why don't you give them the meat you have?"
Fang Yuan glanced at the middle-aged woman, then retorted without any politeness.
"What are you saying? This meat is for my son."
What's wrong with a young girl like you bringing some meat? You don't even have any compassion; be careful you won't find a husband later.
The middle-aged woman saw the old woman looking at the meat in her lunchbox and quickly put the lid back on.
"Auntie, you're so kind-hearted, how can you say that? If it's really necessary, you can give them some money, but at least they should be allowed to eat meat!"
Fang Yuan has a small, round mouth and is particularly good at talking.
Trying to morally blackmail her?
Let me see if you have any morals first.
“I have no relation to her, why should I pay for her meat? I’m not rich!” the middle-aged woman quickly retorted.
"Auntie, how can you be so heartless? With a mother like you, your son might never find a wife," Fang Yuan retorted.
Fang Yuan's words made the middle-aged woman anxious. She put down the lunchbox she was holding, put her hands on her hips, and started to argue with her:
"You're so young and already behaving badly. How can you speak so viciously? You're actually cursing my son?"
"That's hilarious. Wasn't that what you just said about me? Can't I say it?"
Fang Yuan's words infuriated the woman so much she wanted to jump up and down, pointing at him and raising her voice eight octaves higher:
"You...you little brat, you're so young yet you've already developed such a vicious mind. What kind of upbringing did your parents give you?"
“My family raised me very well. I don’t steal, I don’t rob, and I don’t force others to give away their flesh. I’ve lived a law-abiding life. How is that considered vicious?”
After saying that, he looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Did your family teach you to gossip and meddle in other people's business? Or did they teach you to eat your own flesh while everyone else eats other people's flesh?"
"Pfft!"
Fang Yuan's words made the other passengers around her laugh. This little girl is so young, but she really knows how to say things.
Seeing someone laughing at Fang Yuan, the middle-aged woman knew she had met a tough opponent today.
She glared at Fang Yuan, pointed at her, and cursed her without any politeness:
"You... a little girl like you dares to talk nonsense just because you're pretty. You'll definitely grow up to be a promiscuous slut!"
Oh, has this escalated to a personal attack?
Who do you think can't do that?
Fang Yuan smiled and looked at the middle-aged woman with a curious expression, asking:
"Auntie, you can't just spout such nonsense. I wonder what despicable things you did when you were young? Tell us about them!"
"Cough cough~"
Several people hid to the side and didn't say anything. Were they giving up the 'battlefield' for them to play their part?
"You...you..."
The middle-aged woman was so angry with Fang Yuan that she almost fainted, and she pointed at her but couldn't speak.
"Alright, stop with the 'you, you, you' stuff. I just don't understand, what's it to you if I order a piece of meat? Why do you have to come up here and spout nonsense?"
Fang Yuan closed the lunchbox lid, deciding not to continue arguing with her.
I'm also glad that this is on a train, and not in the countryside.
Otherwise, with two buns in her belly, I really wouldn't dare to argue with her like this!
"You're just a little girl, how about giving some of the meat to someone else?"
The middle-aged woman felt she was being righteous and spoke her mind.
"First of all, you discriminate against women. Chairman Mao said that women hold up half the sky. What gives you the right to discriminate against women and say that I am a girl and cannot eat meat?"
Secondly, I paid for this meat, so I can eat it however I want.
If you're really kind, you should take out your money to buy a meal for this grandmother and granddaughter. Why should I have to pay for it?
Why should I give away the meat just because you say one thing?
"Is it because you're a busybody or because you're arrogant?"
The woman, trembling as she caught her breath, pointed at Fang Yuan:
"You brat, what's wrong with giving me a little meat? Didn't your teacher teach you to respect your elders and care for the young?"
"You just said you have no relation to them, and you didn't ask me to give meat to strangers even though you respect the elderly and care for the young. If you don't give meat, why should I?"
Who doesn't lack food these days?
If you don't even deliver it yourself, how can you expect her to?
"I made this for my son. How dare you, a little girl, eat meat?"
The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and retorted.
Okay, I've finally gotten to the point.
She's a maid, doesn't she deserve to eat meat?
This preference for sons over daughters is quite severe; they're related to that old lady.
"Excuse me, I'm getting this for my son too, he wants some too!"
Fang Yuan was too lazy to keep arguing.
Arguing with these brainless people is simply a waste of breath and a way to lower your IQ.
"Listen to this, listen to this, you really are a despicable thing. You're so young, yet you pretend to have a son just for a bite of meat. Aren't you ashamed?"
That's truly indecent and disgraceful! It's a disgrace to us women!
Fang Yuan's words gave the middle-aged woman an excuse, and she launched into a tirade of curses at her.
She pulled out her marriage certificate and waved it, then pointed to her stomach:
“Auntie, I’m already married and pregnant with a son. If you slander and insult me and hurt my son, I’ll sue you for intentional homicide.”
After saying that, he turned to look at the grandfather and grandson who were waiting to the side for meat:
"Grandma, this lady is so kind, you can just take her share of meat. She's already put it out for you."
As he spoke, Fang Yuan pointed to the lunchbox that the woman had placed to the side.
"Grandma, meat! I want to eat meat!"
The old woman's grandson had seen the lunchbox long ago.
Fang Yuan pointed, and he immediately shook off his grandmother's hand and rushed towards the lunchbox.
Open the lid, reach in and scoop up the meat, then stuff it into your mouth.
"What are you doing? This is the meat I prepared for my son, you little brat, put it down right now!"
Seeing her own flesh being eaten by the cub, the middle-aged woman no longer bothered to argue with Fang Yuan.
They went straight for the lunchboxes in the children's hands.
"No, I want to eat meat! This is my meat! I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death! Waaaaah!"
"What are you doing? How can you, an adult, bully a child? What's wrong with giving him a few pieces?"
When the old woman saw that her grandson was about to have the piece of meat snatched back, she quickly stepped forward to grab it as well.
"This was for my son, why should I give it to you? Let go of me, or I'll call the train conductor!"
The middle-aged woman shouted loudly, while reaching out to grab her lunchbox back.
"You just asked someone to give me meat for my grandson. If they won't give it to you, just give it to them yourself. Thank you in advance, old woman!"
The old woman reached out to block the middle-aged woman, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.
"I don't want your thanks, just give me back the meat, it's for my son!"
