"Comrade, could you please give my grandson some food? He hasn't eaten anything since this morning, and his stomach is growling. I don't have any money on me," an elderly woman with gray hair said pitifully.
In Yunling's mind, a "ding" sounded, and the system issued another task. She clicked to accept the task.
The small ball popped out during filming.
He pointed at the stunned educated youth standing to the side.
Fang Yuyan was the first to react. She quickly finished her bun, hid behind Ye Qingsong, and peeked out, saying, "I don't have any more."
She shrugged, looking completely innocent.
Although her family was well-off, she had only eaten beef buns a handful of times in her life.
Besides, who has an easy life these days?
Most importantly, she strongly dislikes people who ask for things without any explanation.
The old lady gave Fang Yuyan a mournful look, then turned her gaze to the others.
Chen Rong bit her lip, leaning weakly against Zhao Chunyu, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. The doctor told me to take good care of myself..."
She looked at the old lady with a pitiful expression.
The old lady cursed under her breath, glancing at Zhao Chunyu, whose face was rosy.
Zhao Chunyu: ...
She looked at the sturdy little boy next to the old woman; he didn't look like he was lacking food at all.
She turned her head away and looked up at the post office sign.
The old woman paused for a moment, then said mournfully, "Sigh, what's wrong with society these days? Everyone is so cold-hearted. People used to be so kind."
She sighed.
As more and more people gathered around, their gazes became increasingly strange.
Jiang Fan felt like the beef bun in his hand was a bomb, and he wanted to throw it away.
Song Chi looked relieved and hid a little further back.
I would rather die than my fellow Daoist.
Zhao Qing'er blushed at what she was told, reluctantly handing over the beef bun in her hand, pouting as she said, "Grandma, here you go."
She held the half-eaten bun and took a small step forward.
The old lady snatched it away, stuffed it into her grandson's mouth, and muttered, "It should have been done a long time ago."
She glanced at everyone and said, "No matter what hardship we face, we can't let the children suffer. What's wrong with an adult eating a little less?"
Her eyes were fixed on the steamed buns in the other people's hands.
The educated youth: ...
I haven't seen such a shameless person in a long time.
Why should I not eat it myself, but give it to a strange and greedy child? I'm not a saint.
"Hey, you old lady, that's going too far. When someone gives you something, you should say thank you," Fang Yuyan couldn't stand it anymore.
He pulled Zhao Chunyu to his side, pointed at the old lady with fiery eyes, and then at Zhao Qing'er with a flushed face.
He emphasized, "You should say thank you."
The old lady gave a forced smile and said with a laugh, "It's no big deal, just half a steamed bun, is it really that big of a deal?"
"As for it." Ye Qingsong also stood up.
He couldn't stand it anymore. Minor squabbles were fine, but this kind of bullying was unacceptable.
He stood in front of the old woman, strong and muscular, with a sharp gaze.
The child took a step back in fear, quickly finished the bun in his hand, his cheeks puffed out, and mumbled, "I don't want it anymore."
Ye Qingsong rubbed his head and said, "Sister gave you something, shouldn't you say thank you?"
He stepped aside, revealing Zhao Qing'er behind him.
The child glanced at Zhao Qing'er, then stared at her bulging pockets, and looked at his grandmother.
The old woman shoved Ye Qingsong in the chest, but instead of moving him, she stumbled. After regaining her balance, she cursed, "How can you bully a child like this? And you're even scaring him! Pay up, you have to pay up!"
"What do you mean? Where did Brother Ye scare your kid? You should say thank you after eating someone's food. You still want money? You're shameless!" Fang Yuyan scolded, hands on her hips.
At this moment, Qin Chuan came out of the post office and saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance. He was tall and immediately spotted Yun Ling and the educated youth from the team in the crowd.
He quickly squeezed in and stood next to Yunling, asking, "What's wrong?"
Yunling recounted the old woman's begging and extortion with righteous indignation.
She spoke with such righteous indignation.
The old lady immediately understood and rushed to Yunling's side, scolding her directly in the nose: "You little brat, you're so pretty, how can you spout such nonsense as soon as you open your mouth? When did I beg? When did I cheat? Explain yourself clearly."
She reached out to twist Yunling's ear.
Qin Chuan quickly shielded Yun Ling behind him, his face cold as he said, "Let's talk this out, don't get physical."
The old lady knew that the man in front of her was not someone to be trifled with, so she snorted coldly and said firmly, "Then you should make her explain herself to me."
Yunling glanced at Chen Rong, bit her lip, and said innocently, "Usually only beggars reach out to ask others for things. You just asked for someone's meat bun. Isn't that begging?"
The old lady stared at Yunling with eyes blazing with anger.
Yunling seemed startled and took a small step back. She then cautiously explained, "Comrade Ye didn't bully your child just now. You insist that he bullied your child and asked him for money. Isn't that fraud?"
She looked at Ye Qingsong.
Ye Qingsong nodded quickly and said righteously, "That's right, how could I, an adult, bully a child? He ate someone else's meat bun, shouldn't he say thank you?"
Jiang Fan: "Brother Ye is right."
He looked at the old lady, frowned, and said, "You can't judge people by their appearance, or assume things based on your own assumptions."
