Chapter 124 Moral Blackmail (2/2)

The old woman was asking her for eggs for her grandson, and she felt a little awkward about the situation, with the old woman and the young boy both present.

Especially since Lin Han was staring straight at her like that, she gritted her teeth and took out another egg.

After receiving the eggs, the old woman felt there was definitely more profit to be made.

If a young girl can afford a sleeper berth, she must have brought other nice things with her.

And just now I heard her say that she was some kind of soldier from the Capital Military Region.

Soldiers must receive a considerable salary.

"Young lady, look, we old folks haven't eaten either, we're starving. Do you have any leftover food? We won't mind."

The old woman stared intently at Li Qiao, making Li Qiao feel uneasy.

"I...I didn't bring much with me. Why don't you guys buy some boxed lunches later?"

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of the pregnant woman, the old woman yelled curses at her and shoved her to hurry up and deliver eggs to her grandson in the hard-seat carriage.

The pregnant woman was kicked out, and Li Qiao felt indignant on her behalf and wanted to say something to the old woman, but the old woman closed her eyes and lay down on the lower bunk to go to sleep.

The problem is that the lower bunk belongs to Li Qiao, while the old woman's bed is on the upper bunk.

"Auntie, this is my bed. If you want to sleep, please go back to your own bed."

The old woman crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and muttered incoherently.

"I'm an old man, how can I climb that high? If I fall and get hurt, will you take responsibility?"

I think your lower bunk is just right, why don't you switch with me? You're young and have good legs, it doesn't matter where you sleep anyway, you won't lose out, right?

Before Li Qiao could refute, she took off her shoes and rubbed her calloused heels on the pillow on Li Qiao's bed.

Li Qiao was furious.

Turning her head, she saw Lin Han staring intently at her, giving her a knowing smile.

Li Qiao was disgusted by the old woman and couldn't sleep in that bed anymore, so she had to sit on the stool next to her and wait until the lights were turned off before going to bed.

The train rattled along for two hours, and Lin Han's mouth never stopped.

After she finished the apple, Qin Shuman broke off an ear of corn for her. It had been cooked at home that morning and was cold now, but that didn't affect the taste at all.

When it was time to eat, Qin Shuman took out an aluminum lunchbox from her bag, which was filled with corn and pork dumplings that Lin Han liked.

Huo Qizheng took an empty lunchbox, filled it with boiling water, scooped the dumplings into a small iron bowl, placed the small iron bowl inside the lunchbox filled with boiling water, and used the temperature of the boiling water to heat the dumplings.

Actually, these dumplings taste good even when they're cold, but he was worried that Lin Han's stomach would feel uncomfortable if she ate them cold, so he specially heated them up.

The dumplings were prepared especially for Lin Han; the other three planned to buy boxed meals from the train.

When the sales clerk pushed the food cart over, Huo Qizheng took out his money and bought three boxed meals.

She chose dishes that Lin Han liked, so that if Lin Han got hungry later, she could share with her.

Li Qiao's family gave her some money when she left home, so she didn't intend to suffer by eating dry, cold pancakes on the way. Instead, she generously bought herself a boxed lunch.

When the old woman heard the food cart arrive, she immediately opened her eyes, ordered a boxed meal for herself and her husband, and then told the sales clerk to ask Li Qiao for money.

Li Qiao was unwilling.

"Why should I pay? I don't even know you."

The old woman opened the lid of the lunchbox and began to eat heartily.

"You just stood up for my daughter-in-law, which means you're a good person. What's wrong with a good person treating us two old folks to a boxed lunch?"

I know what your workplace is like. If you're not willing to do this, I might write to your workplace and report you for bullying the elderly.
