Chapter 439: Chapter 20: Little Hong Encounters Human Traffickers_2
"Look at you, we’re just chatting, why is this young lady speaking so harshly?"
Chu River blinked: "I’ve spoken so harshly, and you still can’t tell that I don’t want to chat with you."
"Ma’am, at first glance I feel like you’re not a good person, you’d better not talk to me."
"I have a bad temper, what if I hit you?"
When she said this, she was quite serious. The middle-aged stout man beside her, who was listening closely, silently shrank his presence even further—he just wanted to take advantage of people’s thin skin and get a free seat, but didn’t expect her to be so ruthless...
Learned something, learned something.
When going out, you really can’t underestimate anyone.
The old lady’s eyes turned red: "Why did you say that... I just wanted to find someone to talk to..."
Then she quietly shrank back and remained silent.
Chu River glanced around, leaned on the seat, and closed her eyes.
—She wasn’t just talking nonsense; she subconsciously felt that this old lady in front of her didn’t seem like a good person.
And very, very bad.
As she closed her eyes, she pondered—how do I have such a strong sensing ability? Can I tell if someone is a good person just by looking at their flesh?
Could it be... this is my golden finger?!
But even this imagined system hasn’t arranged a police identity for her, what use is this golden finger?
It’s not as good as her own skill at catching fish and hunting wild pigs.
Thinking this way, Chu River lost interest, turned her head and directly closed her eyes to rest.
—Going out alone, sleep is impossible.
But she also realized, in terms of eating and sleeping, she can actually tough it out.
On the contrary, the old lady opposite her, seeing her close her eyes, seemed to think of something, and her face slowly turned grim, quickly hanging her head down.
...
The train rattled along, its speed was agonizingly slow.
Chu River had become numb to the scenery, but seemed to have an unusual physical constitution; people around her were moaning and moving their arms and legs, and the man next to her even got up to give his seat to a woman in a headscarf, wanting to walk a few steps in the cramped aisle to get some exercise.
But she remained unaffected, sitting calmly without moving.
The sky gradually darkened.
The wind outside the window turned cool, carrying a soft rural aroma, with a large expanse of green corn leaves swaying in the distance.
The dining car carved out its own space in the crowded aisle, and Chu River took out her bun—cold buns were no problem at all.
...
At this time, a small man squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, holding a four or five-year-old child:
"Mom, help me watch the child, I need to sleep."
The old lady previously deemed not a good person immediately stretched out her hands:
"Hey, give me the child, you go rest."
She skillfully took the child into her arms.
Chu River turned her head, staring at him expressionlessly.
The old lady, feeling agitated in her heart, instead flashed her a smile, gently patting the child in her arms, playing the role of grandmother.
Seizing the opportunity for this eye contact, she seemed to have a topic to discuss.
"Girl, how old are you, are you engaged?"
Chu River also asked back: "Is this your grandson?"
The old lady nodded: "Yes, my grandson."
This time Chu River really showed a good face, even curled up her lips, but turned her head and said nothing more.
But the old lady felt that she had found her entry point, even though this girl might not be worth much money if sold, she just wanted to see her beg.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring carriage, Zhao Weihong was also struggling in the crowd, searching.
Yes, she found a way to get a letter of introduction and left the village.
Of course, the letter of introduction said her parents were critically ill and she was returning home to visit, with a ten-day leave.
But for her, those ten days meant she could first buy a train ticket to leave that hellish place, and then follow the route of the man from her previous life who helped her escape to Hong Kong Island.
She really couldn’t stand these mainland folks.
Every day it’s all about working the fields, and every meal is just coarse grains. Not developing the economy, not trading properly... how can they compete with other countries?
No wonder Hong Kong Island developed so quickly in her previous life, because the mainland really didn’t prioritize it.
This time she’s going out, aiming to use her foresight and memories from her past life to strive and become a wealthy and influential person.
—Marrying Shi Suifeng was really too difficult, if she couldn’t become the wife of a big boss and the mother of a future one, then she’d fight her own battle!
