Chapter 33: Forcing People to Do What They Want
The woman's smile froze, and she quickly corrected herself, "Yes, yes, I was wrong. Zhenzhen, stop it. Stand up and give your seat back to Auntie. This was originally hers."
"I don't want to. My legs hurt and I can't stand anymore." Zhenzhen cried and acted like a spoiled child.
The woman secretly glanced at Yun Qiao, then tugged at Zhen Zhen's arm with a stern face. "It doesn't matter if your legs hurt. This is Auntie's seat. You can't sit here unless Auntie lets you. Be obedient."
Yun Qiao watched coldly.
She knew the woman wanted her to take the initiative to give her seat to her daughter, but she didn't want to.
She can give up her seat voluntarily, but she cannot be forced to do so by someone.
After all, giving up your seat is a matter of emotion, not a duty, and should be entirely voluntary.
Besides, if you go out with two children, even if the two children are short enough to get a free ticket, can't you buy an extra ticket for the children's comfort during the journey?
Judging from her dress and temperament, her family doesn't seem to be unable to afford an extra train ticket.
To put it bluntly, they just want to save their own money and take advantage of others.
Yun Qiao just wouldn't tolerate her bad habits.
Seeing Yun Qiao's lack of response, the woman knew this trick wasn't working, so she had no choice but to forcibly pull the round-faced little girl, Zhenzhen, off her seat: "Auntie won't give up her seat for you, stop making trouble, and when you get to your seat, Mom will buy you some candy."
Yun Qiao held her bag and sat down in her seat.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the middle-aged man sitting by the window opposite suddenly started to accuse Yun Qiao.
"Little girl, how can you be so heartless? It's just a seat! He's just a child. It's normal for his legs to ache after standing on the train all day. What's wrong with you giving him a seat?"
Yun Qiao couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You're such a caring person, just give way. It just so happens that your seat is right next to theirs. Once you leave, the three of them can just stay together."
The man glared at her. "I'm going to take the bus to the terminal at Dunshan, and I won't arrive until tomorrow morning. I'm not a kid anymore, how are my legs going to handle standing all night?"
It's true that it's easy to talk without feeling any pain, and you don't feel any pain unless the fire burns you. Yun Qiao was so angry that he laughed: "We are also going to the terminal of the mountain. Just treat others as you would like. If you can't bear it, then we can bear it too?"
"Besides, we came from Shanghai and have already been on the train for three days and two nights. Do you think we still have the energy to stand all night? I am willing to help others, but the prerequisite is to ensure that my own health is not affected. Even respecting the elderly and loving the young does not mean loving them this way."
The man was speechless after being confronted by Yun Qiao. His face turned pale and blue, but he didn't say the words "I'll give up my seat". I guess he knew that forcing Yun Qiao to give up his seat was unreasonable.
The woman's face turned red with embarrassment at Yun Qiao's pointed words.
She felt that Yun Qiao's words were directed at her, implicitly criticizing her for disregarding other people's health and forcing them to "respect the elderly and love the young."
The woman looked embarrassed and held the round-faced girl Zhenzhen in her arms. The girl with the oval face could only stand beside her and lean on her weakly.
Yun Qiao saw it but didn't care. It was someone else's family affair and she didn't need to interfere.
When He Tingjun came back from playing, he saw the tense atmosphere at his seat. He approached Yun Qiao and whispered, "What happened?"
Yun Qiao glanced at the mother and daughter and the middle-aged man opposite him, and briefly told him what had just happened.
He Tingjun didn't say anything after listening, just nodded, thinking that there was nothing wrong with her approach.
