"You think you're so delicate? Who hasn't been pregnant and given birth? When I was pregnant, my husband worked in the fields every day. When the war came to our side, I pulled an oxcart for dozens of miles by myself. People nowadays are getting more and more fussy."
I went back to work the day after giving birth, and you haven't even given birth yet, and you're already complaining about sitting in a hard seat?
The woman was clearly annoyed but helpless; it was obvious that she had a low status in the family and was used to being wronged but dared not talk back.
She stood in front of the old lady's berth, neither saying she wanted to leave nor daring to sit down.
Huo Qizheng washed the sour apricots and brought them over to Lin Han.
"Honey, come inside and sit down. No one should bump into you while walking by."
Lin Han ate an apricot, and Qin Shuman went to pour her some water.
"Hanhan, have some water. Mom made you some brown sugar water, it's sweet."
Lin Han ate one sour bite and one sweet bite, completely absorbed in the food, and hadn't stopped since boarding the train.
Gu Huaiming stood in the aisle arranging his luggage, tying it up with rope to prevent it from falling and hitting Lin Han during the train's journey.
After finishing, he pushed the luggage of the other people on both sides of the road further in to make sure everything was safe before sitting down to rest.
The pregnant woman found it strange that the family next door were all busy getting into the car, except for the daughter-in-law who just sat there doing nothing.
I'm so lazy.
Lin Han ate a few apricots but lost her appetite, so she put the lunchbox aside and started looking at the scenery.
Huo Qizheng sat down next to her and put a blanket and pillow behind her back so she could lean against it.
"Take off your shoes, let me massage your feet. You must be tired after walking so much."
"Not tired."
Lin Han didn't know where she had taken the route. She had come from the military base to the train station by car, but she had to walk the short distance from the train station entrance to the train station.
But if she could lie down, she wouldn't sit. She would lean against the blanket and stretch her legs onto Huo Qizheng's lap so he could massage her feet.
The woman next to him stared wide-eyed.
What kind of operation is this?
Is it okay for a woman to have her husband massage her feet in front of her in-laws?
She had never seen anything like it before.
At home, she is usually the only one who brings water to her parents-in-law and helps them wash their feet.
As she looked at her, she suddenly felt wronged and plopped down on her mother-in-law's sleeping berth.
"I'm staying here tonight. I'm too pregnant to sit in a hard seat."
The old woman thought she had grown temperamental and slapped her on the back fiercely.
"Are you getting angry?"
Sleeper tickets are so expensive. Your dad and I are old and have worked hard all our lives before we could afford to buy sleeper tickets.
You're so young, it's the age for you to suffer, why are you trying to enjoy life like others?
Have you no shame? Get over there right now.
With so many people and all sorts of people on this train, aren't you afraid your son will be kidnapped by human traffickers? If you don't keep an eye on him, are you expecting my son to be kidnapped?
He's been working hard all day, and he finally got a chance to sit in the car and rest for a bit. Can't you even be a little more considerate?
The woman was indignant. Why could the woman next door have her husband massage her feet and sleep in a sleeper bed all by herself, while she couldn't?
She was chased away by the old woman and walked towards the hard-seat carriage, feeling very indignant.
Lin Han suddenly felt the urge to use the restroom and got out of bed.
"Huo Qizheng, I need to go to the toilet, let go of my foot."
