Chapter 411: 411 decompression
Zhang Chunsheng came over and directly placed his lunch box on the table.
"Mr. Zhang, could you help me get some food?"
"No problem. What would you like to eat?"
"Anything's fine, the kids won't eat much anyway."
In the end, Zhang Chunsheng got some rice and two stir-fried greens.
He decided to stay with the four of them, thinking he might help look after Qi Yan and the others later, giving Xiao Su some time to eat.
But in the eyes of those with untoward intentions, this became gossip.
Su Yuanyuan mixed the rice with soup for the three of them. She also gave them some vegetables.
Since they all had an egg custard, they were quickly full.
By this time, Zhang Chunsheng had also finished eating.
"Xiao Su, you eat your meal, I'll stay with the three of them, don't worry."
Su Yuanyuan did not act politely. Now was a matter of grasping the time. This was not the time for being prudish.
She quickly finished her meal, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. You go ahead with your work, I can handle it myself."
Zhang Chunsheng, being highly perceptive, noticed some people's attention, so he smiled and left.
He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Su Yuanyuan. But he knew she was aware, which is why she let him leave.
The three kids loved this time the most. The dining car was bustling, and they enjoyed the lively atmosphere.
Su Yuanyuan was happy to play with them. Some of Tan Shaoting's men were watching, ready to help the four of them if needed.
Su Yuanyuan knew some people around were talking about her. Not being angry would be a lie, but she consoled herself by thinking it wasn't worth lowering herself to their level.
She gave the three kids some fruit, which was their habit.
At this moment, a little girl came over, enviously eyeing the fruit in Qi Yan and the others' hands.
In fact, this fruit was considered upscale nowadays. Most people were reluctant to spend money on it.
This time, Su Yuanyuan only brought out three, so she really had none to spare for the little girl. So, she said nothing.
"Little Hong, come back. Such a disgrace, aren't you afraid of drooling to death?"
A sharp voice startled the three children.
Su Yuanyuan looked over to see who spoke so rudely—there stood a woman.
She frowned, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay."
The three kids finally relaxed. They smiled at Su Yuanyuan and continued enjoying their fruit.
The little girl still longingly stared at the fruit, and anyone could see her intense desire to eat.
Su Yuanyuan thought to herself that at this age, you wouldn't treat a child harshly. Besides, if she had more, she would have given one to the girl.
But this time, she ignored the little girl. The main reason was that they had scared her children, and that was her bottom line.
"Auntie, I want some too."
Su Yuanyuan was quite astounded, wondering how this child had been raised.
She forced a smile, "Sorry, Auntie only has three, and my kids are all eating them."
The girl's lips quivered, and tears began falling.
Su Yuanyuan found it quite off-putting, so she simply ignored her.
A lot of people were watching the commotion on their side.
"Little Hong, get back here! Aren't you ashamed, taking anything you see? Aren't you afraid you'll turn bad?"
The voice was shrill. Everyone in the dining car was paying attention.
Su Yuanyuan's temper skyrocketed. Already not in the best mood, she couldn't stand being slandered like this. She tried several times to calm herself, but her anger was uncontainable.
"Absolutely no manners. That's what a shrew is like. Qi Yan, don't be scared, it's okay, this world is vast, and there are all kinds of people. You should see how ugly a person can be."
The difference in behavior was stark. You could instantly see who had better deportment.
On one side was someone fierce and caustic, while the other was calmly educating children.
"You shameless tramp, who do you think you're talking about?"
Su Yuanyuan didn't even know this woman, Cai Yingmei. Watching her charge over, she felt if she didn't vent her anger, she would be uncomfortable for a long time.
This woman was jealous because her husband always compared her to Su Yuanyuan. She had disliked Su Yuanyuan for a long time.
Previously, Su Yuanyuan didn't appear, as she took care of her kids herself. This time, she had finally seized an opportunity.
Another reason was why Su Yuanyuan could have their own compartment while they had to squeeze in with another family.
Cai Yingmei charged in, being a very volatile individual, unable to vent at her husband, she took her frustrations out on the kids. She thought this was finally her chance, so a slap was aimed at Su Yuanyuan's face.
Why should this married woman be all pretty and neat while I have to take care of an entire family alone, with no money and time to dress up?
Su Yuanyuan just stood there watching her charge forth. She had already protected the three kids behind her.
Little Hong, the girl, was knocked over by her mother, who didn't care at all and just rushed forward.
When her hand was about to touch Su Yuanyuan's face, Su Yuanyuan kicked her away.
Su Yuanyuan, full of fury, used about eighty percent of her strength in that kick.
Cai Yingmei was sent flying six or seven meters away. Now the dining car was completely silent. Everyone was watching this scene.
Su Yuanyuan stood up, turned around, and patted the hands of the three children, "Sit quietly and wait for Mom."
Su Yuanyuan's kick left Cai Yingmei unable to get up, lying on the ground wailing.
Two women stood up to rush over, seemingly to help her.
Step by step, Su Yuanyuan walked over as the two women were about to lift Cai Yingmei up.
"You wicked woman, how dare you kick me! I'll fight you to the end!"
Su Yuanyuan kicked again. This time all three women fell, and Cai Yingmei was sent flying a few more meters.
Then, some other women came over, "Comrade, it's not right to beat people like this."
"Get lost! Where were you just now? She was spewing filth, weren't you enjoying the show? And when she started, weren't you also gawking? And now you come over as saints? The moralists have arrived?"
Su Yuanyuan didn't leave them any face with these words.
The women all flushed. "How can you be like this?"
Su Yuanyuan didn't even bother responding. At this point, she felt someone approach from behind, and before the hand touched her shoulder, she turned and kicked again, knocking a man down.
