The woman was stunned. Over a hundred yuan? That expensive?
Why should she pay? She just wants to hitch a ride for a few minutes, spending most of the day on the train, and she'll arrive at her stop tomorrow morning.
"How can you be so heartless? Do you know how hard it is for me to take care of two kids? They've been standing all day with me and there's nowhere for them to sit. They could sit in your seat all night to rest their feet, and you can't even tolerate that? You're so rich, you sleep in a sleeper car and you still ask me for money. Who would want a woman like you?"
After the woman finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Chu Yu, complaining that she was meddlesome and heartless.
Chu Yu was so angry she almost laughed. How could someone be so self-righteous? They bullied someone and then turned around and blamed them.
It's not easy for a woman to raise two children alone when she's out and about. If this woman weren't so extreme, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
“It’s not easy for you to raise two children, so I’m giving you this shop. As long as you give me the money, you can make sure your child sleeps comfortably for one night. You can’t possibly be stingy with a hundred yuan for your child’s sake, can you? Do you even deserve to be a mother?”
Chu Yu mimicked her tone and used magic to defeat magic.
The woman didn't like hearing that. Why should she give him money?
She always tries to get a seat on the train, and people are always willing to help her when they see she has a child with her. Some even give her their sleeper tickets!
A sleeper ticket costs over a hundred yuan. If she's shameless enough, she could make a hundred yuan for free. Why should she be a sucker and waste her money?
"You have no character! Don't you understand respecting the elderly and caring for the young? My two children are exhausted, and you can't even give up your seat?"
"I'm not just a bad person, I'm also heartless, have a bad temper, and have no conscience. I can go crazy at the slightest provocation. Please stay away from me..." Chu Yu smiled.
The woman was taken aback by what she said, and just then the train conductor came to check tickets. She even complained to the conductor:
"Don't you think she has no conscience?"
The train conductor looked at Chu Yu with sympathy, then turned to criticize her:
“I’ve seen you several times already. You always try to freeload off other people’s sleeper berths. Last time, you and your three children took up a young man’s sleeper berth, and he had no choice but to stand at the door all night. How could you be so shameless? You didn’t pay for it and you want to take advantage of others. If you like sleeping in sleeper berths, next time you should spend an extra hundred or so yuan to buy a sleeper ticket. Don’t come to the sleeper carriage to cause trouble again.”
The woman's face paled at his words. "Do you know how hard it is for me to take care of two children? What's wrong with me resting here when I'm tired from standing?"
"Take a break? You make it sound so easy. You're not related to her at all. Why do you have to come here to rest? There are so many people out there, but you chose this young girl. Isn't it because you think she's shy and doesn't want to argue with you?"
The woman, annoyed that he had hit a nerve, retorted angrily, "Why are you, the train conductor, siding with her? Is it because she's pretty? Ha, some young people are already so bad, trying to seduce the train conductor even on a train."
Not to mention Chu Yu, even the train conductor was a little annoyed by this malicious and specious tone.
"How dare you speak like that, comrade? Show me your ticket and cooperate with the ticket inspection."
The woman's expression changed, and she tried to pull her child away, but the train conductor forcibly stopped her.
"Where are you going? Did you hear me? Show me your ticket and cooperate with the ticket check!"
The woman was so anxious that her face turned pale. After dawdling for a long time, she finally pulled out a standing ticket, but the final stop of the standing ticket was Quan'an City, and she had already traveled five or six stops too far.
Chu Yu was speechless. This person was so brazen about evading the fare and even dared to make such a fuss. He was clearly a repeat offender.
The train conductor was offended by her and not only made her buy a ticket, but also fined her. The woman's argument would cost her at least 20 yuan more. Her face was not very pleasant, and under the conductor's urging, she reluctantly bought a ticket. Before leaving, she spat at Chu Yu.
Shen Zhuyu was furious and wanted to jump up and scratch her. "You shameless girl! You're just taking advantage of your young age to bully you."
Chu Yu wasn't bothered at all. She'd seen plenty of people like that, thinking that just because they were shameless, others would be afraid of them.
That evening, a pregnant woman was standing at the door of the carriage. Chu Yu noticed that she looked unwell and invited her to come in and sit down. The pregnant woman was a little embarrassed and thanked him several times, but only sat on half of her bottom. Chu Yu then took the initiative to invite her to come up and lie down.
The woman with the child saw this and her eyes turned red. She wished she could eat Chu Yu's flesh and tear him apart. Chu Yu found her appearance extremely funny.
She smiled slightly at the woman, which made the woman even angrier.
The little incident on the way was just a way to pass the time. The journey from Deyang to Guangzhou was long, and the green train only traveled at 80 kilometers per hour. It took a full 17 hours to travel more than 1,000 kilometers, and we didn't arrive in Guangzhou until 6 a.m. the next day.
Fortunately, having slept the whole way, the two of them didn't feel tired. They took a taxi and headed straight to the Suicheng Clothing Wholesale Market.
Shen Zhuyu was visiting Guangzhou for the first time. Cantonese and Northern dialects are very different, and Shen Zhuyu couldn't understand it. The driver said "lei hou," and she thought he was calling for a monkey. She looked around for a long time before Chu Yu explained it to her and she finally understood.
Guangzhou is a coastal city with convenient trade and frequent exchanges with foreign countries. It is at the forefront of reform and opening up.
Guangzhou's morning tea is very famous. Chu Yu first took Shen Zhuyu to have morning tea, and only after they were full did they rush to the wholesale market.
The Suicheng wholesale market was bustling with people. Chu Yu and Shen Zhuyu had just reached the market entrance when they heard someone shouting:
"Selling shirts! Second-hand imported European and American shirts for cheap! A whole bag for only 200 yuan!"
As soon as the shouts were uttered, the stall was surrounded by people. Chen Zhuyu pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. The stall had suits, wide-leg pants, shirts, and skirts, all with fashionable and trendy styles that were very different from those in China.
Shen Zhuyu was very tempted: "I saw people selling second-hand Western-style shirts in Quan'an. These clothes sell very well. A pack of 200 can contain 30 or 40 pieces, and you can immediately sell them for 20 or 30 each. They sell well and you don't have to worry about stockpiling them. You can make a lot of money!"
