Chapter 53: Dealing with the Hooligan
Xu Si looked at Tong Huaqiong in amazement. Widow Tong was so domineering that she even occupied the seat after he got off the car.
Tong Huaqiong tried to let Tong Dajiao's arrogance take over, and said to Xu Si fiercely: "This seat belongs to my Taohua, get up!"
"Sister Tong..."
Yan Pozi no longer looked at Liu Qiaoyun with contempt, but instead looked at Tong Huaqiong with pleading eyes.
She was really still frightened by the way Gu Taohua dealt with Xu Si in the morning.
"Who the hell is your sister? Don't yell at me." Tong Huaqiong scolded Mrs. Yan.
In the morning she was calling her Widow Tong, but now she is calling her sister.
"Yes, my mother paid for it, so even if I don't sit here, this seat is mine."
"No one can sit in my seat!"
Gu Taohua was so busy bickering with Gu Dashu that she didn't notice Xu Si's actions towards Liu Qiaoyun. She thought Tong Huaqiong was deliberately making trouble for Xu Si because of what happened in the morning and now had the support of her two sons.
She would be happy to see either situation happen. After all, she had already offended Xu Si in the morning, so it wouldn't be too much to offend him once more.
"Xu Si, get the fuck up and stop taking my sister's seat. There's so much shit on your butt, you don't deserve to dirty my sister's seat!" Gu Dashu's words were very unpleasant.
"How disgusting. Xu Si, get up! Either you get up by yourself or I help you." Gu Taohua smiled cunningly.
Bending down, a pair of big fat hands were about to pick up Xu Si.
Xu Si was still traumatized by the experience of lying on the edge of the car and almost being fed to wild dogs. When he saw Gu Taohua stretching out her hands, he almost peed his pants.
This guy is a fucking demon.
With the addition of the two great guardians Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe, he can't put out the fire even if he has three other brothers at home!
"I...I got up by myself..."
Xu Si lowered his voice and bounced up like a pinball.
But there were too many people on the bus, and he looked for a long time but couldn't find an empty seat.
Gu Taohua picked him up and threw him under the car.
Xu Si slipped and fell to the ground.
Tong Huaqiong took the opportunity to place two bags of flour at the position where Xu Si had just been standing, and said to Liu Qiaoyun viciously, "Liu Qiaoyun, have you forgotten that you owe me ten cents? I won't ask you to pay me back. You better watch these two bags of flour. If anything goes wrong, I'll smash your pot."
"Sister Qiao Yun, you can't let anyone sit down except for flour. If I find out, I will twist your hair." Gu Taohua also had a ferocious look on her face.
Liu Qiaoyun looked at Tong Huaqiong, then at Gu Taohua, her eyes reddened, she hugged the flour bag tightly, and said in a tearful voice, "I'm sure I can cure it."
"No one of you can take my sister's place." Baiqie Heitani Dashu glared at the people in the car with a threatening look.
"Sister Qiao Yun owed my mother ten cents. She was a worker employed by my mother before the flour arrived safely at Qinghe Bay. Anyone who scolded or bullied her is scolding and bullying my mother. I no longer study and naturally don't care about my future. If anyone bullies my mother, I will be the first one to not let him go."
The scheming genius boy Gu Jingzhe had already seen that his mother was standing up for Liu Qiaoyun, and he also knew that Yan Pozi was not someone to be trifled with. He was afraid that Yan Pozi would bully Liu Qiaoyun on the road, so he threatened her in advance.
Mrs. Yan’s silver teeth were almost broken!
At this time, everyone came to their senses.
Widow Tong is standing up for Liu Qiaoyun.
But the Qin family and the Gu family didn't seem to have any contact with each other. On the contrary, Liu Qiaoyun's mother-in-law, Aunt Qin, usually looked down on Widow Tong the most.
Every time when Widow Tong bullied her eldest daughter-in-law Chen Sufen, Aunt Qin couldn't help but tease Widow Tong.
Tong Huaqiong's past image of a bully once again collapsed in everyone's mind.
"Old Xu, you're here. I was just about to tell you. My son pushed a cart and brought me here. I won't ride in your car today. But I have too much stuff. I'll put two bags of flour on your car. I'll take your seat and give you one person's fare."
Tong Huaqiong turned around and saw that Uncle Xu had returned and was untying the rope of the cow, so she took out the money and handed it to Uncle Xu while talking.
Uncle Xu had witnessed the entire process of the Gu family bullying Xu Si, and he knew exactly what was going on.
That damn bastard Xu Si should be thrown out of the car.
Otherwise, he would turn into a beast in the car, and Liu Qiaoyun, a tender-skinned young wife, would be trying to commit suicide. Wouldn't he, the driver, also be responsible?
Thinking of this, Uncle Xu waved his hand and said, "Dashu, it's just two bags of noodles. Why should I give you money? They are all from the same village."
Just refuse.
Tong Huaqiong did not insist and said with a smile: "Thank you, I will give you two pieces of dessert to try tomorrow."
Uncle Xu chuckled.
Widow Tong's cakes were so delicious that he had long wanted to try them.
......
Tong Huaqiong took Gu Taohua and climbed back onto the flatbed cart and sat with the pigs.
She really didn't want to stand out, but if she couldn't get over the psychological barrier, she would just consider it as repaying the favor of Liu Qiaoyun's mother-in-law, Aunt Qin, for giving Chen Sufen the egg pancake. After all, the whole egg pancake went into her stomach, right?
Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe worked hard, pushing and pulling the cart together to make it move steadily towards Qinghe Bay.
If you want to take a shortcut from Yanguan Town to Qinghe Bay, you need to pass through a forest.
The woodlands are very lush in early summer, and it is said that wild animals often roam there. Normally, people in Qinghewan do not dare to take shortcuts when going to and from the town.
Gu Dashu pulled the flatbed cart and decided to take a shortcut. He was already extremely tired from pulling his mother and sister, and taking the shortcut would be much shorter.
The flatbed cart was blocked in the middle of the dense forest.
Blocking the road was a tightly sealed carriage.
There was a burst of intermittent sobbing in the carriage.
"What's going on?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
"I'll go and take a look." Gu Jingzhe said.
Tong Huaqiong looked at the forest shrouded in dusk and felt a surge of joy in her heart.
In her previous life, she had read online novels with heroines as the protagonists. In many cases, the heroines’ paths to success began with encountering a noble person in trouble.
Could it be that I have also started to follow the plot?
If that's the case, great!
I just don’t know who the noble person ahead is.
Soon, Gu Jingzhe returned, and with her came a weathered man.
Before Tong Huaqiong figured out what was going on, the weathered man standing next to her started calling her mother.
Who is this?
"Mom, I didn't expect to meet brother here." Gu Jingzhe said.
Oh, this is my stepson Gu Dahan.
There's nothing wrong with calling her mother.
"Dahan, what's the situation ahead?" Tong Huaqiong didn't even bother to greet Gu Dahan and asked directly.
Gu Dahan went to work for a wealthy family in the capital city. So, the person sitting in the carriage in front might be the head of the family.
Tong Huaqiong became vaguely excited.
Is the turning point of my destiny coming?
"Young Master Lu is almost out of breath..."
Gu Dahan didn't beat around the bush and gave a brief account of the situation of the carriage owner.
Gu Dahan, as the coachman of the Lu family, accompanied the young master and young lady of the Lu family to visit their maternal grandparents. On their way back and passing by this forest, the young master of the Lu family, who had always been in poor health, suddenly became ill.
Since you have met him on the road, you must show your concern.
Tong Huaqiong still hopes to get some opportunities from the Lu family.
"Let's go see if we can help."
Tong Huaqiong got off the flatbed cart and ran to the Lu family's carriage with a pair of big feet.
She quickly pulled open the curtain and met a pair of eyes as clear as cold stars. Then the memories of Tong Da Jiao's past life flooded into Tong Huaqiong's mind.
