The middle-aged woman was good with words, but she didn't know any fighting moves at all.
Naturally, he couldn't win against this battle-hardened old woman from the countryside.
The three of them started tearing at each other.
To be precise, it was the old woman who dragged the woman along so that her grandson could continue eating meat.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fang Yuan quickly returned to the carriage with his lunchbox and closed the door behind him.
Calmly returning to his bed, he opened his lunchbox and slowly began to eat the braised pork.
Hmm, the taste is just so-so. At this time, the seasonings are not all available and it's a large-pot dish, so the taste is naturally not good.
But since it's meat, and I spent 50 cents to buy it, I have to finish it no matter what.
While eating the meat, listening to the sounds of the woman outside arguing with the grandmother and grandson, she found it quite appetizing.
The people in the carriage glanced at her a few times, but no one said anything.
They heard what happened outside, so they can't say the girl was wrong.
I just have to admire this girl's silver tongue; she's so good at talking.
Fang Yuan didn't care what these people thought.
She ate and drank as she pleased, and after that, no one asked her for a bite of meat when she bought it.
After another two days and one night on the train, we finally arrived at our final destination.
After getting off the train, I was greeted by a dense crowd of people.
A soldier in military uniform looked at his passport photo in front of the platform for a long time before finally making eye contact with Fang Yuan.
After confirming, he squeezed through the crowd and ran over:
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm here to pick you up, sent by Battalion Commander Zhao Qingzhuo. The battalion commander had an urgent mission yesterday, and he sent me to take you back!"
"Who are you?" Fang Yuan asked the young soldier with a puzzled look.
With the information provided by the system, she knew that this was Liu Lei, the communications officer of the original owner's man.
But this was her first time here, so she could only pretend not to know her.
"My name is Liu Lei, and I'm the battalion commander's communications officer. The battalion commander sent me to pick you up!"
Liu Lei bowed to Fang Yuan and took Fang Yuan's luggage while speaking.
"Bao'er, look at this! How can someone like this be an official's wife? And people still pick her up? She can't even bear to give the child a piece of meat. Her heart is so wicked, I spit on her!"
The mocking voice was not quiet and was familiar, so Fang Yuan followed the sound.
It turned out to be that old woman who wanted meat, accompanied by a young girl of about eighteen or nineteen.
"Huh!"
Fang Yuan looked at the girl and thought, "This woman looks a bit like the original female lead."
"System, is this the female lead? Why is she different from the memories you gave me?" Fang Yuan asked the system in his mind.
The young woman's face was dark yellow, and her skin was very rough.
However, his appearance was seven or eight parts similar to the female lead given by the system, which made Fang Yuan somewhat uncertain.
【Yes!】
The system's voice echoed in my mind.
"No way? She's Zhang Xiuzhen? This is so different from the script you gave me!"
Fang Yuan took a closer look at the woman; the system had given her a stunningly beautiful woman with fair skin.
The one in front of me is only of average appearance. Unless she undergoes modern facial contouring and skin whitening, there is absolutely no way she could not become a swan.
[Because she obtained a spatial dimension, and was nourished by its spiritual energy, her physique and appearance improved, which is why she looks different.]
[Don't worry, host. Now that you've acknowledged the space as your master, it will only get more and more beautiful.]
"You mean this woman's everything depends on the space? Then I, the original owner of this body, have suffered a huge loss?"
Upon hearing the system's reply, Fang Yuan nearly felt heartbroken.
Such an amazing treasure, and it actually fell into the hands of this family of malicious people. It's infuriating to even think about it.
【······】
The system didn't reply and assumed it was the default.
This Zhang Xiuzhen actually went on the same train as her, and she was even in cahoots with the old woman who asked her for meat.
If the old woman hadn't been so angry that she came up to scold her, she really wouldn't have known.
Want to be the leader's wife? Pshaw!
Keep dreaming, anything can happen in dreams!
Frustrated, Fang Yuan retorted directly:
"Ma'am, are you going to visit your family at the military base? You got into a fight on the train and stole someone's meat. How can your son be a soldier? I suspect you must have given him a bribe back then."
Her voice wasn't quiet either, which drew the attention of many people.
She said, "How could the original owner of this body suddenly become friends with the female protagonist from the countryside?"
It must be that this old woman saw how generous the original owner was, so she deliberately let her daughter befriend her to take advantage of her.
This really shows how kind people are often taken advantage of!
"You little bitch, how dare you talk about my son like that? My son is a respectable soldier, what nonsense are you spouting? If you were my wife, I'd make sure my son divorces you!"
The old woman felt a little guilty after hearing Fang Yuan's words, and started talking nonsense while pointing at him.
"Your wife is really unlucky. When she gets to the army, I'll have to talk to the political commissar about it. Chairman Mao said that women hold up half the sky. Your family still has feudal dregs of thinking. Don't let it affect the atmosphere of the army!"
Fang Yuan retorted, not to be outdone.
The woman's family already had questionable political backgrounds, and they were almost exposed during the movement.
If the man the female lead married hadn't been so capable, how could her brother have stayed in the army and even risen to the rank of regimental commander?
Now that she's here, it's best for this rotten apple to leave the army as soon as possible.
"you·······"
Seeing that the old woman was about to speak, Zhang Xiuzhen quickly called out to her mother.
"Mom, stop talking. We're outside, and lots of people are watching. Let's hurry up and go. Big brother is waiting for us!"
She glanced around; quite a few people were secretly watching them.
Her mother wanted her to marry a military leader, but if she got a bad reputation, how could she marry into a good family?
"Yes, yes, yes, we almost got dragged into a ditch by that bitch. Bao'er, let me scold her a bit."
The old woman was caring and considerate towards her youngest daughter, but then she turned around and started cursing at Fang Yuan:
"You little slut, don't be so smug. Your belly is bound to be a girl in the future. If you can't give birth to a son, your man will beat you three times a day. Let's see how you act all high and mighty then!"
"Three meals a day? Your family is really something else. You're even worse at harming women than enemy spies. Your family must have been bandits or outlaws before. We need to have someone investigate what your family used to do."
The faces of the old woman, the bandit, and Zhang Xiuzhen all changed upon hearing this.
The old woman reacted quickly, turning to Fang Yuan and continuing to berate him:
"You're the bandit! Your whole family are bandits! My ancestors were poor farmers for eight generations. Daughter, let's go."
After she finished scolding him, she turned around and quickly left with her daughter and grandson.
She was actually afraid that Fang Yuan would have someone investigate her family and harm his son.
"Hmph, they're all acting like thieves with a guilty conscience. This family is definitely not good people. Let's go, Xiao Liu!"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, his expression unfriendly as he watched the three figures disappear.
He then gestured for Liu Lei to leave quickly, lest they be made a fool of.
Xiao Liu followed Fang Yuan with a bewildered look on his face, carrying several large bags of luggage.
Didn't the battalion commander say that his wife was gentle, beautiful, and virtuous?
She's pretty, but I really can't tell she's gentle!
