Chapter 40, please don't let your "wishes come true"!
All seven daughters of the Tong family stood up, eager to try, as if if she dared to make a move, they would all rush up and beat her up! That's what the girls were thinking: dare to bark at their mother, and they'll each punch you until you're dead!
"Hey! You're bullying me because there are more of you! Everyone, come and judge this! Young people are bullying an old lady!" The old woman slapped her thigh and shouted, accusing the guilty party first!
"You're the kind of person who acts like a spoiled old man, shameless and arrogant. Tsk tsk tsk, I've really learned something new!"
And you say we're ill-mannered? You're well-mannered, yet you act like a scoundrel and throw a tantrum in front of the children? I think with an example like you, the children will never learn anything good.
Your child is really unlucky. With a grandmother like you, what future can he expect? From a young age, he's been learning to steal from others and take advantage of them. If he can't get what he wants, he resorts to shameless behavior.
Dear uncles, aunts, and grandmas, you've all seen it yourselves. We didn't do anything except reason with her; we didn't even lay a finger on her!
The carriage was full of people who loved to watch the drama unfold. They had been craning their necks to look in this direction for a long time. Since they were all strangers to the old woman and were not afraid of offending anyone, they all condemned her for being shameless, hogging a seat and acting like a scoundrel, and uttering foul language.
The young woman felt embarrassed and tugged at her mother-in-law's sleeve, saying, "Mom, come back and sit down. I'll just stand for a bit; we're getting off soon!"
The old woman slapped her across the face, and the woman dodged to the side, the slap landing on her shoulder: "You good-for-nothing! Who am I doing this for that you can't even help me out!"
Tong Yuyao rolled her eyes but remained silent; it was none of her business how other people handled family matters. She said to the old woman, "Take your own family matters to your own place and give up my sister's seat!"
Little Qi Yuqi, hands on her hips, said in a cute yet fierce tone, "I bought a ticket, that's my seat!"
The old woman, enraged by everyone's criticism, raised her hand to slap Yu Yao's face, but Yu Heng grabbed her arm.
The girl stared at her with murderous intent, startling the old woman. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake her hand off; the girl was incredibly strong.
"If you hit my sister, you'll lose this hand!" Tong Yuheng shook off her hand and looked at her coldly.
The old woman realized this family was not to be trifled with, so she reluctantly gave up her seat and sat down in her own. The little girl was already hugging her mother to comfort her, and a flash of hatred appeared in her eyes as she looked at her grandmother.
The young woman remained standing, while the boy sitting in the seat showed no awareness of offering his elder a seat. The Tong family members, in turn, ignored the group opposite them.
I thought they had calmed down, but just before getting off the bus, they got into a fight over a piece of candy.
Zhao Xinhui distributed the candy to Tong Yuheng, giving each of them two pieces to put in their pockets. Yuqi wanted some, so she took one out and unwrapped it, but the little boy across from her snatched it away!
Yuqi had also practiced boxing with her older sisters, so of course she wasn't going to let herself get the short end of the stick. She slapped the boy's hand, sending the candy flying. The boy cried out in pain as his hand hurt!
"You little brat! You little whore! How dare you hit my grandson! I'll beat you to death!" The old woman, seeing her grandson cry, went berserk and lunged at Yuqi!
Yuyao wouldn't let her sister suffer, so she raised her hand and slapped her across the face. The old woman screamed and turned to pounce on Yuyao, stretching out her claws to scratch her face!
Tong Yuheng grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her backward. The old woman, like a tortoise with its claws outstretched, flailing her short arms and legs, couldn't hit anything.
The onlookers burst into laughter, thinking to themselves that the girls in this family were quite formidable and not to be trifled with!
Seeing his grandmother being restrained, the little boy stopped crying, popped out, and shoved his older sister, saying, "You good-for-nothing, go help Grandma!"
"Second Aunt, if you don't help my grandma, I'll go home and have Second Uncle beat you!" the little boy shouted at his wife again.
The girl glanced at him sideways, but didn't move. She thought to herself: If I help you, I'll get beaten up; if I don't help you, I'll still get beaten up. Why should I help you? I'd rather the older sister beat the old witch to death!
The petite young woman didn't dare step forward, only pleading repeatedly, "Let go, girl, she's too old to take it!"
Tong Yuheng threw the old woman onto the seat. "Who did you just curse? Do you want to die?!" His voice wasn't loud, but it felt like it weighed a ton, striking the old woman's heart and scaring her into silence.
Tong Yuheng ignored the cowardly girl and told Xiao Qi to go to her mother's side to pack her things and get ready to get off the bus later.
The old woman had been scolded and beaten, so now she dared not provoke them, and secretly glanced at them with resentful eyes. Tong Yuheng glared back, and she immediately lowered her head like a quail.
Qingshi County Station is a small station, the kind that only stops for five minutes. If you don't get off quickly, you might not be able to get off.
A moment later, the announcement came over the loudspeaker, "Passengers, please prepare to disembark. The next station is Qingshi Station." Tong Yuheng, Yuyao, Linglong, and the others took down their bags, backpacks, bedding, and other belongings, and carried their assigned bags, ready to get off the train.
Tong Jiahui was still leading Xiao Qi, with Linglong following behind, while Yu Yao and Yu Heng each held Xiao Wu's hand and Xiao Liu's hand respectively.
Not many people got off at Qingshi Station, but it was still crowded. They didn't expect that the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and two children on the other side would also get off here!
Tong Yuheng: Aren't they from the same commune and brigade as us? Hopefully, their wishes won't come true this time!
After getting off the bus, the Tong family, seeing that it was almost noon, went to the nearest state-run restaurant for lunch. This immediately highlighted the advantage of Tong Yuheng arriving early.
She knew the locations of post offices, supply and marketing cooperatives, restaurants, and guesthouses. She even knew where the black markets in the county and towns were.
The family entered the restaurant with lots of bags and packages. There were hardly any people inside, but their arrival suddenly made the small restaurant feel like it was packed with guests.
Today's waitress was a woman about the same age as Tong Jiahui, nearly 1.7 meters tall, and a little plump. She looked at the family of beautiful young women, scrutinizing each one with boundless curiosity!
After they put their things down and found a large table to sit at, I came over to say hello, carrying a pen and sticky notes.
"You just got off the train? Where are you from?" Instead of telling them about the food, the man started asking about their origins. He had a warm and sincere smile on his face.
Tong Yuheng thought to himself: This is not like what is written in the book. The waiters all have their noses in the air and act all high and mighty.
"Yes, big sister. We came from Yanshi, just got off the train. What's good to eat today?" Tong Yuheng knew the locals' speaking habits and didn't feel that it was offensive for her to ask about their personal matters so soon.
"Oh, there's braised pork with potatoes, stir-fried cabbage, oyster and radish soup, minced meat with dried green beans, and home-style tofu." The woman was even happier to hear Yuheng call her "elder sister" and enthusiastically introduced today's dishes.
