"How can you talk like that, young lady? Last time I took the train, the person in the sleeper berth saw I didn't have a seat and offered me his. It's not easy for a woman with two children to squeeze onto a train alone. You're not sleeping right now, so what's wrong with letting me lie down for a while?" The woman spoke disapprovingly, squatted down on her berth, glanced at Chu Yu's slender waist, and smiled with a complicated expression. "Young people should endure more hardship. How old are you? Are you trying to sleep in a sleeper berth like those cadres?"
The woman said this, but she was extremely satisfied with the environment of the sleeper car.
The hard seats were dirty, smelled terrible, and were extremely noisy. The sleeper berths were different; four people shared a compartment, and once the door was closed, no one outside could come in.
Look at how lucky they are, even pretending to read a book while riding a train.
The woman pursed her lips, took out a few steamed buns from the net bag, broke them into pieces, put them in a toothbrush holder, soaked them in water, and fed them to the child.
The two children ate a few bites, then stared longingly at the red date cake and boiled eggs that Chen Zhuyu had placed on the table.
"Mom, I want to eat eggs."
"Mom, I want to eat cake."
After the two children finished speaking, the woman said with a smile, "They didn't ask you to eat, so you can't just take it without permission!"
She glanced at Chu Yu. Most people would have felt embarrassed and given the child something to eat after hearing her say that, but Chu Yu didn't move at all, as if she hadn't heard what she was saying.
The woman pursed her lips and snorted irritably. "What kind of person is this! No sense at all! It's just a few broken eggs and some red date cakes! Does he think we can't afford them? So stingy, I don't know how he even got to sleep in a sleeper car."
The two children were eyeing the food. The younger boy reached out and grabbed a piece of red date cake, stuffed it into his mouth, and after finishing it, he felt it wasn't enough, so he took the whole bag of cakes and stuffed it into the woman's bag.
"Why are you doing it yourself, kid? It's just a piece of cake. It's not like we can't afford it."
The woman was yelling, but she didn't really mean to scold the child. Instead, her face was full of joy and praise, thinking her child was quite clever. She then gave her daughter a wink, and her daughter pursed her lips and shook her head, refusing to take the other person's things.
The woman, with a stern face, muttered angrily, "You stubborn girl, you're not even half as smart as your brother! You might as well starve to death!"
The small sleeper berth was half occupied by her two children, with the rest used for her luggage, leaving Chu Yu alone in a window seat.
The woman wasn't satisfied yet; she took off her shoes and socks and put her legs up on the bed, her stinky feet blocking Chu Yu's side. The bed was also filthy and had a strange smell. Chu Yu, seeing that she had two children with her, hadn't wanted to make a fuss, but she couldn't stand it anymore.
She picked up the other person's package and threw it away.
The woman was stunned, as if she hadn't expected her to dare to do such a thing, and then threw a tantrum:
"This is my stuff! Why did you throw my bag at me? Who do you think you are?!"
Chu Yu laughed angrily, "I told you long ago that this is my bed. You just can't understand human language. I spent over a hundred yuan to order this bed. If you want to sleep in it, give me the money, and I'll give it to you."
