The other young man was fair and handsome, about 1.8 meters tall, standing upright, holding a handbag, and standing in the aisle like a small poplar tree growing in the northwest.
"Put it up and sit down, the train is about to start!" Dai Yifeng said.
Bulaji was still struggling to lift her suitcase, wanting to place it on the overhead rack, but after lifting it less than half a meter high, she ran out of energy. With a mournful face, she turned to the waiting young man and said, "Zheng Siqi, please, help me out. When we arrive, I'll treat you to a meal at a state-run restaurant!"
Zheng Siqi turned a blind eye, but a young man nearby couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up to help her put the suitcase up.
Bulaji turned her head to find Xu Qinghuan looking over, and she glared at her, angrily rebuking, "What are you looking at? Are you sick?"
Before Xu Qinghuan could speak, Dai Yifeng sneered, "You have a serious illness yourself and say others are sick. Lu Nianying, let me be clear, from this moment on, don't tell anyone you know us."
So it turns out, it's the female lead in the book, Lu Nianying!
Xu Qinghuan withdrew her gaze, she was the girl raised as a biological daughter by the original owner's mother, from whom the original owner received no phone call on her birthday, while on Lu Nianying's birthday, Song Wanlin would buy her an expensive cake at Old Mo's restaurant, that Lu Nianying!
Unfortunately, the name Lu Nianying was given by the old lady of the Lu family because Lu Nianying's mother, named Lu Rangying, died in childbirth after an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. The old lady named her Nianying (remember Ying) so she would always remember her biological mother.
This time Lu Nianying went to the countryside because Lu Mingqiu secretly signed her up. It was originally Lu Mingqiu's fault, but according to the book, the old lady of the Lu family harshly punished Song Wanlin, accusing her of failing in child-rearing, causing sibling rivalry.
Xu Qinghuan thought of the description in the book and couldn't help but curl her lips into a mocking smile.
"Why are you smiling? You miserable wretch!" Lu Nianying cursed angrily.
Xu Qinghuan clenched her fist, "Originally, my hand was supposed to recover well, but you insist on not letting me recuperate properly."
She ground her teeth, bypassed Yu Xiaomin who was sitting in the middle, and slapped Lu Nianying's face hard, making a loud smack, which startled Kong Lijuan sitting across the aisle.
"You bitch, how dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?" From childhood to adulthood, Lu Nianying had never been bullied like this.
Xu Qinghuan had never dreamed she would encounter Lu Nianying. She pointed at her and asked Dai Yifeng, "Comrade Dai, may I ask, where is this female comrade going in the countryside?"
Dai Yifeng and Zheng Siqi were also stunned by Xu Qinghuan's valiant nature, but they didn't think Xu Qinghuan did anything wrong, after all, she stayed silent while someone verbally attacked her; not breaking one's teeth was already lenient.
Such a delicate young lady with such strength, the two were taken aback.
"Well...this, oh, right. Her mother specifically set up some connections, and we were assigned to the same team, namely the Shangjiang team of Red Flag Commune. It's said to be a large compound, and we were asked to help take care of her. Rest assured, we are not familiar with her!" Dai Yifeng hurriedly distanced himself.
Lu Nianying was also so angry that tears were streaming down her face, "Dai Yifeng, would you dare to say this in front of my mother? Why didn't you refuse when my mother entrusted you?"
Zheng Siqi leaned back, stretching his long legs, "Lu Nianying, please understand, if someone actively bullies you, in light of us growing up together in the same compound, we certainly wouldn't ignore it. But that's all we'll do!"
"She just hit me now!" Lu Nianying said while covering her face, "You dare hit me, you bitch, who do you think you are? You dare hit me? I certainly won't let you off lightly, I'll have my mom tear you to pieces!"
Xu Qinghuan coldly looked at her, ridiculing, "Tear me to pieces? We're in a new society now, does such cruel punishment exist? Is it a regulation of the Lu family? Are you planning to be emperors?
Starting off with terms like wretched bones and bitch, isn't the new society advocating equality for all? How come I'm unaware you're more valuable than us? Shouldn't we prostrate ourselves in front of you, shouting 'long live'?"
Originally, when Xu Qinghuan acted and hit, some felt it was inappropriate, arguing that resorting to violence at once was excessive, yet, after hearing Xu Qinghuan's words, everyone immediately became indignantly angry together.
Yes, Xu Qinghuan was dressed in a white cotton shirt that had turned yellow from washing, patches were piled on patches, the sleeves and front were too short, her black pants had three or four different colored patches, and her shoes were fabric ones that revealed her toes — it was obvious she belonged to the struggling working class.
She was even a martyr's child, possibly raised with difficulty by a surviving parent.
As for Lu Nianying, she had two shiny, black braids tied with red silk, her white Bulaji looked expensive at a glance, and she wore a pair of imported foreign leather shoes.
It was clearly not a single class — and hence the inclination to call others wretched bones?
Those surrounding her, except for Kong Lijuan, immediately voiced their support.
Lu Nianying was amid panic; she didn't understand why a remnant of her typical swearing suddenly caused public outrage.
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense. When did I ever ask you to bow to me? Now is the new society, that hasn't been popular for ages." Lu Nianying regretted attacking someone before understanding the situation.
She had to bear it for now, and when she reached the countryside, she planned to call her mom and have her mom deal with this damned brat.
"It hasn't been popular indeed, now everyone is equal, so why did you call someone wretched? I think you want to restore the feudalism!" Yu Xiaomin said angrily.
Chen Dewen laughed, "Yes, some people who are used to being high above look at everyone like servants. Qing dynasty has vanished for a hundred years already, yet some people still want to sit on a throne!"
Kong Lijuan thought her chance had come, and she hurried forward to support Lu Nianying, frowning, "I believe Comrade Lu just made a slip of the tongue. She made a mistake, and you can help her correct it for progress, but it's unnecessary to exaggerate the issue.
Everyone is going to the countryside together as educated youth. I heard many places there locals are very exclusive; I think we should help each other rather than disrupt internal unity."
Lu Nianying wasn't exactly stupid. Covering her feverish face, she said, "This comrade, although I shouldn't have cursed earlier, you did hit me too, so we're even."
"I won't even it out with you!" Xu Qinghuan laughed and asked using similar words, "Do you know who I am?"
Lu Nianying thought to herself, looking at your impoverished appearance, who knows you!
Kong Lijuan seized the opportunity, "Xu Qinghuan, don't be unreasonable, the person merely cursed once, and you've already slapped her. What more do you want? Are you perhaps keen on restoring feudalism?"
Lu Nianying stared blankly at Xu Qinghuan, and she was shocked — Xu Qinghuan? Is it that person?
Her mother's biological daughter?
Xu Qinghuan glanced at her, then pointed at Kong Lijuan's location, "Return to your seat immediately, otherwise, do you believe I'll beat you up?"
