Chapter 172 The Scum on the Train
It's only a matter of time before you know it, there's no need to hide it.
After hearing this, the gossipy villagers instantly became excited.
"Beijing!! That's a great place. I heard that Beijing is not only big, but also has many tall buildings. One building alone has dozens of floors, and the salary is very high!"
"Really? But I heard that it's not easy to make a living in Beijing. Didn't Erniu from the Tian family come back some time ago? He spent five years in Beijing. When he came back, you didn't see him. He was so skinny and half dead. I was afraid that he would fall down when he walked!"
"Oh my, is it that scary?"
"you do not say!"
"But who are Manman and Yunshu? Manman is an intellectual who came back from abroad. How can Erniu compare with them? In the county, if you don't have some knowledge and culture, you really can't survive!"
…
The villagers were talking about it, one after another, and having a great time chatting.
By the time I realized what was happening, Xie Yunshu and his wife had already gone far away.
But this did not dampen the villagers' enthusiasm for gossip.
Suddenly, a woman who was as thin as a monkey stared at the direction where Qi Man and the others left. Her eyes rolled and she said:
"How about we make a bet?"
This paragraph aroused the interest of others.
"What bet!"
The woman chuckled:
"Let's make a bet. After they come back, will the country be prosperous or undeveloped? How about each of us betting one dollar?
If you win, take the loser’s money and split it equally! ”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people's interest was immediately reduced.
One dollar!
Even if you work hard all day, you may not be able to get a dollar a day in wages.
A bet without any concept is of no use at all.
The woman continued to seduce, "Just tell me if you dare or not!"
After weighing the pros and cons, some bold people made up their minds, gritted their teeth, took out a crumpled bill from their pockets and stuffed it into the woman's hand.
One piece after another, after a round, there were more than thirty pieces, which made the woman very happy.
I’m rich, I’m rich!
Only ten of them believed that Xie Yunshu and his friends would become successful after their return, while more than twenty of them were not optimistic about the couple.
He suppressed the corners of his mouth that were rising wildly, and spoke cheerfully:
"Everyone just wait! Wait for the day when Xie Yunshu and his wife come back."
…
Xie Yunshu bought a ticket for 4 p.m. Qi Man used her spatial ability and teleported to the vicinity of the county railway station in the blink of an eye, and put the bag that Xie Yunshu was carrying into the space.
There are many snack shops near the train station.
Stinky tofu, candied haws, sugar men, egg cakes, mung bean cakes, and boxed lunches are all available from all kinds of small vendors.
The vegetables are neatly arranged on both streets, just like entering a vegetable market.
Qi Man was dazzled by what she saw, but she did not move because there was enough food in her bag.
There are several kinds of braised dishes made by Xie's mother, including pig's trotters, chicken feet, duck feet, duck intestines, etc...
In addition to the braised food, there was also a pot of hot fresh milk, which was fresh milk that Xie's mother had worked hard for two hours to squeeze from another village.
Knowing that his daughter-in-law liked to drink fresh milk and fearing that she would be hungry on the road, he hurriedly took the basin to the neighboring village and exchanged it for an old hen and two kilograms of rice.
In addition to these two, there are some delicious ones.
There was still about half an hour left before they got the 4 o'clock ticket, so Qi Man took Xie Yunshu for a walk nearby and they just happened to hear the notification sound for the train to arrive at the station.
Follow the process to queue up and get on the bus.
There were quite a few people in the train station, some were there to see someone off, and some were there to pick someone up.
Once inside the carriage, it seemed very crowded.
The car was full of people from all over the place, and the air in the car was very thin, mixed with an indescribable smell.
There was the smell of poultry and cheap cigarettes, mixed together in a way that made one feel nauseous.
Qi Man and Xie Yunshu both had outstanding looks, and as soon as they got on the car, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
Some people even watch it to the point of obsession!
Xie Yunshu held Qi Man's hand tightly all the time, not daring to let go, and crossed the carriage and found the soft sleeper room.
Snap——
A crisp slap suddenly sounded.
Xie Yunshu paused and turned around to see the men standing in the row at the side, covering their faces and roaring at Qi Man in anger:
"Why did you hit me?"
Qi Man frowned slightly: "You touch me."
When Xie Yunshu heard that his young wife was being touched, he could no longer sit still. A cold light swept across, and the temperature in the car suddenly dropped several degrees.
"Bah!"
The furious man covered his face and spat on the ground. His face was distorted and he cursed:
"You girls wear skirts for us to see, don't you? Do you want men to touch you? You dress like this to take the train, who are you pretending for? Others can touch you, so what's wrong with us touching you a few times?"
Snap——
As the slap sounded, the insults stopped abruptly.
The noisy carriage became quiet because of the two slaps, and everyone turned to look in the direction of Xie Yunshu and the others.
The man's face was slapped to the side, blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and upon closer inspection, two teeth were found lying on the ground.
The comrades in the car couldn't help but gasp.
Hiss~
The slap was really cruel. Two teeth were knocked out with one slap.
The man's head was buzzing and he was dizzy from the beating.
Xie Yunshu looked down at the short man with a cold tone:
"Who do you think you are? You are not qualified to point fingers at my wife! Are you still thinking in ancient times? If I hear you say bad things about my wife again, don't blame me for cutting off your hands and legs!"
Xie Yunshu's eyes were fierce and his tone was as cold as an ice cellar, making people shiver.
The man who had been acting so arrogant just now was suddenly suppressed like a turtle. He dared not to act rashly again and could only nod timidly.
He was afraid that he would accidentally anger the couple again. He was at a disadvantage both ways.
If he had known that woman was so troublesome, he would not have dared to attack Qi Man even if he had chopped off his hand.
I didn't check the almanac before going out, so I had bad luck today.
Qi Man stood aside, staring at the man who was beaten black and blue, with snot and saliva flying everywhere, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
So dirty!
There were many people here and Xie Yunshu didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he took Qi Man's hand and accurately found the soft sleeper room where the two of them were.
In the soft sleeper room, there are soft cushions on both the upper and lower sides, which are very soft and comfortable to sit on.
Although the space in the soft sleeper compartment is small, the air is fresh, the windows can be opened freely, and there is no indescribable smell.
After Xie Yunshu packed up his things, he hugged Qi Man in his arms and whispered softly:
"Did that man touch you?"
