Chapter 33
The more Weisheng looked at the old lady, the more he felt that there was something wrong with her. The more he listened to her speak, the more he felt that every word she said seemed to touch the heart of Yu Tao, a military dependent.
Being a military wife isn't easy, especially for a young woman left alone in a house, slowly growing from a young woman into a mother-in-law. She only sees her husband once every year or two, and every time they do, the man can clearly feel the marks of time on him.
After Yu Tao was depressed, he changed the topic and talked about his life in the army.
How to get along with the wives of soldiers who are also with the army, and how to be a qualified "sister-in-law".
There's also the old woman in the family compound who's always bitching and pushing others around, and the child of someone else's family always eats at their son's house, and then there's the mother-in-law of someone else who keeps asking her son and daughter-in-law to send money home...
However, if one listens carefully to these words, one will find that the old lady seems to have said a lot, but in fact she only mentioned briefly the life with the army, and most of what she talked about were some family matters that were difficult to distinguish.
Weisheng: I really want to popularize an anti-fraud APP in this era!
Around five o'clock, everyone in the train car started eating dinner. But being away from home, they weren't particularly excited about the food. The three of them had their meals in micro-bags, which contained long-lasting food.
There was nothing they could do about it, as they had left the village yesterday morning and the first meal on the train was tonight's dinner.
Take out three peeled tea eggs from an aluminum lunch box, then take out three pancakes, crush the tea eggs with a spoon, and finally roll them up with the pancakes and eat them.
Weisheng and the other two all brought kettles with them. Now they connected the kettles with hot water from the car, and their dinner was ready.
While the three of them were eating dinner, the elderly woman across the street also pulled out a small cloth bag containing two lunch boxes. One contained egg fried rice, which, because it was lightly oiled, wouldn't be greasy even if eaten cold. Perhaps because of her strong taste, she also put a little meat sauce in the corner of the box.
The other lunch box contained cooked dumplings. Although they were cold, it did not affect the taste.
The old lady opened both lunch boxes, then put away the fried rice. After that, she enthusiastically invited Weisheng and the other two to try the dumplings she had made.
The moment they saw the dumplings, Weisheng and the other two's expressions changed. They thanked the old lady for her suggestion with varying expressions, then all lowered their heads and silently ate the pancakes in their hands, which suddenly became difficult to swallow.
At this time, it was only a little over a month away from the Lao Jin family's dumpling banquet. If it weren't for the custom of eating dumplings during the New Year in Kaoshan Village, they probably wouldn't have eaten dumplings during the New Year this year.
However, dumplings were originally the staple food, but this year dumplings have become a dish in every household.
Although I had to eat it, I only ate one to get by.
It was unknown what Weisheng and the other two thought when they saw the dumplings. The old lady only looked at the three people who were eating the cakes with suspicion, and then looked at the dumplings in the lunch box with a puzzled look:
Dumpling, it turns out that there will be a day when you fall out of favor!
╮(╯▽╰)╭
After dinner, we took turns going to the bathroom, and the three of us started to rest, you next to me, I leaning against you.
Yu Tao and Shan Xingchen always went to bed early and rose early, while Weisheng was the type who rose early and went to bed late, taking naps during the day. So at night, Weisheng let them sleep in while she looked after the luggage.
In fact, there was no need to look at the luggage. Weisheng piled the luggage of the three people on the luggage rack, and then took out the hemp rope wrapped with wire to firmly fix the luggage in the luggage rack. Even if he used a knife, scissors, or hands to untie the luggage, it would still be a hassle.
The three of them are not dead. They are being tortured right in front of you and they are still not waking up... Is it possible?
So checking the luggage was just a saying. Weisheng was mainly looking at the old lady opposite.
Because there are many strangers who assume enthusiasm with the greatest disgust, Weisheng also imagined a scene of Yu Tao going to join the army alone.
Yu Tao, who is a bit timid, definitely didn't want to get her seat back after getting on the train. Then the enthusiastic old lady opposite her either helped Yu Tao get her seat back or helped her when she was tired of standing.
With Yu Tao's inexperience in going out and her inability to refuse, she was sure to be persuaded by the enthusiastic old lady's persuasion, and then left the train station with her while in transit in Shacheng...
In the middle of the night, the old lady pulled Yu Tao, who was sitting opposite her, and said that her legs were numb and asked Yu Tao to accompany her to the bathroom.
Yu Tao was about to get up when Weisheng pushed her back. Not only that, she also woke up Shan Xingchen, who was sleeping by the window. "You two, don't sleep anymore. I'm going to be Lei Feng. Wait for me to come back and sleep together."
Yu Tao, whose opportunity to do good deeds was snatched away: Is she a little paranoid?
Shan Xingchen, who was woken up by being pulled, said: This is my master, I can’t be angry.
Compared to her fondness for Tao and her gentleness towards Shan Xingchen, the old lady's attitude towards Weisheng was somewhat cold. Fortunately, her attitude only made Weisheng wary of her, rather than giving rise to any jealousy or foolish thoughts of inferiority.
Standing opposite the bathroom, Weisheng's eyes occasionally swept over Yu Tao's aunt and nephew, and occasionally swept across the carriage with purpose.
She was afraid that the old lady had accomplices.
When the enthusiastic old lady came out of the bathroom, Weisheng said to himself, "This is my first time taking a boat to sell goods, and I met Lao Menkan'er's good mother."
Taking people to sell is called "taking a boat," and selling them is called "selling goods." Lao Menkan'er refers to traffickers who operate in a fixed location or route for a long time, while "hao mama" refers to traffickers of women. These are all jargons used in this business.
At this time, Weisheng used jargon to test the enthusiastic old lady, just to see if his guess was correct.
The old lady was not aware of Weisheng's words. Her pupils trembled slightly, and her eyes widened slightly. However, her face showed that she was deaf and hard of hearing, and she didn't hear what Weisheng said clearly. "My daughter, what did you say?"
Weisheng let out a long breath, then rolled his eyes towards the bottom of the carriage, then looked up and down at the enthusiastic old lady with a half-smile, and finally showed a sneer of a newcomer disrespecting his elders.
“Heh~”
Then, without caring about the enthusiastic old lady, he walked towards his seat first. However, when he was halfway there, Weisheng quickly turned back and just caught the slightly vicious look of the enthusiastic old lady.
Enthusiastic old lady: "..."
That night, Weisheng became even more certain that the enthusiastic old woman was a human trafficker. Yu Tao's disappearance in a previous life was most likely related to her. Now that he had a suspect, Weisheng wouldn't risk his life.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. Weisheng is not a saint, nor can she sacrifice herself for others, but if she knew that Yu Tao's trip would be in trouble and still kept silent, then she would not be herself.
Of course, the prerequisite for helping others is that she is capable now and it will not harm her own safety and interests.
While pondering his next move, Weisheng pretended to doze off on Yu Tao's shoulder. The suspected human trafficker was right across from him, and fearing he might actually fall asleep, he drank a large pot of cold coffee in the first half of the night and then ate a lot of sunflower seeds with hot tea in the second half.
However, in order not to disturb other passengers, Weisheng peeled the melon seeds with his hands in a very delicate and elegant manner.
Wake up early, Yu Tao and her sister-in-law go to the bathroom and wash up at the sink. Wei Sheng stretches his waist, then leans back and stares at the enthusiastic old lady with a bored look on his face.
He stared at her with his eyes fixed on her, exuding a provocative air, and was extremely rude. If it were someone with a clear conscience, they would have pointed at Weisheng and scolded him for his tutoring.
Unfortunately, the enthusiastic old lady didn't say anything to Weisheng, but while Weisheng went to the bathroom, she said a lot of little things about Weisheng to Yu Tao's sister-in-law.
The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other and thought to themselves: Don’t they know that Weisheng is not a good person?
Weisheng got up to go to the restroom when the crowd was the highest. Then, since there was no queue in the carriage they were in, she turned around and went to the next carriage. When Yu Tao's sister-in-law and the enthusiastic old lady really thought Weisheng went to the restroom, Weisheng quickly walked through several carriages and came to the dining car.
In the dining car, many train staff, conductors and a few passengers were having breakfast. Weisheng walked to the table near the conductors and ordered a large white steamed bun, a bowl of two-grain porridge, a small plate of pickles and a boiled egg.
While eating, he looked at the flight attendants, wanting to see if they could be trusted and whether any of them were protecting human traffickers.
Although Weisheng's observation was extremely covert, the conductor was also a police officer, so how could he not notice it?
Just as Weisheng's breakfast was about to come to an end, three flight attendants came and sat down at Weisheng's table with lunch boxes.
"Comrade, what do you want?"
Weisheng nodded, looked at the three people, then looked around the dining table, and then whispered his guess to the three people.
You have no evidence at all. Just because the old lady is too enthusiastic towards you, you suspect that she is a human trafficker?
Oh, it wasn't without evidence. She even used the jargon of the kidnapping business to trick the old lady...
etc!
"How do you know those jargons?"
Anti-fraud APP~
After thinking this, Weisheng brought up the story of his scumbag father and stepmother's work. It was still the same story about how he often went to the hospital to deliver meals and do homework when he was a child. There he saw all kinds of patients, including human traffickers.
I don't really believe it, and I'm even more inclined to doubt the veracity of your statement. But we're in this business, so regardless of whether it's true or not, we'll do our best.
Calling someone in for questioning without any evidence would be useless and might even alert the suspect. We'll arrive in Shacheng around 9:00 tonight. Once we get to the next stop, we can use the opportunity to stop and contact the Shacheng Public Security Bureau to arrange for them to come in advance.
Moreover, by contacting the Shacheng Public Security Bureau, we can also investigate in advance the old lady's son who is serving in the army and has a name and surname.
Weisheng: "Even if such a person really existed, there's no guarantee that she would be used as a cover for a crime and fabricated into having a 'good mother' out of thin air."
Flight attendant: ...quite experienced.
Weisheng calmly called the police, bought two big meat buns and a lunch box of rice porridge for Yu Tao and her sister-in-law, and then carried the lunch box back to his own carriage.
Weisheng hadn't returned, and Yu Tao and Shan Xingchen, who had packed up, hadn't eaten breakfast yet. The enthusiastic old lady didn't invite the aunt and nephew to eat fried rice with her as enthusiastically as she had yesterday, but she also made room for them.
Unexpectedly, Weisheng came back with buns and porridge, and gave the enthusiastic old lady who was eating a disdainful look, saying "Just eat this".
Enthusiastic old lady: "..."
Even if my uncle can still tolerate it, my aunt really can't.
If an ordinary person encountered a nasty guy like Weisheng, they would definitely distance themselves from Yu Tao's wife and would no longer show any enthusiasm for helping her. But this enthusiastic old lady was clearly provoked by Weisheng, yet she still told Yu Tao's wife all kinds of things about how promising her soldier son was and how many people he knew.
They said that now was the time when the educated youth who had returned to the city to visit their relatives were returning to the countryside one after another, and that train tickets were particularly difficult to buy, and sometimes one had to wait at the train station for several days before buying a ticket.
Yu Tao and Shan Xingchen had never traveled far, but they could still tell how many people were on the train. Hearing the enthusiastic old lady's words, they both believed it and looked at Weisheng with great concern.
They were not stupid and could see Weisheng's obvious xenophobia and vigilance, but they all thought that Weisheng was paranoid and that the enthusiastic old lady was a good person.
While the enthusiastic old lady went to wash the lunch box, Yu Tao's sister-in-law asked in a low voice what to do about this matter.
Weisheng looked at Yu Tao. Although Yu Tao was a little hesitant, she still wanted to accept the kindness of the enthusiastic old lady. Shan Xingchen saw that Weisheng did not show any likes or dislikes after listening to Yu Tao's words, so he also said quietly, "I don't think Aunt Xiao is a bad person."
Wei Sheng snorted inwardly upon hearing this, but he only raised an eyebrow. He looked at Yu Tao first and asked her, "Are you sure?"
Yu Tao pursed her lips and nodded to Wei Sheng seriously, "Yeah, sure."
After getting Yu Tao's answer, Weisheng looked at Shan Xingchen again and asked again, "Are you sure too?"
Shan Xingchen was a little uncertain about this question, but after looking at his sister-in-law and then at Weisheng, he still replied: "...OK."
She smiled slightly and said briskly, "Since you and your sister-in-law have both confirmed this, I have no objection." She had already called the police, and the truth would soon be revealed. If she had truly misunderstood the old lady, an apology would be the most basic thing to do. If not... ha!
Yu Tao/Shan Xingchen: Why is it even more uncertain at this moment?
When the enthusiastic old lady came back, the aunt and sister-in-law accepted her kindness after a few words from her, but with a look of trouble on their faces.
Weisheng closed his eyes and rested, thinking of a sentence he had seen on the Internet before:
"People can never teach people. Things can teach people once, but once is enough."
It can be seen that this person will avoid danger only after suffering losses and being frightened.
