Su Mingxian didn’t care whether they were separating or not. After all, she had already vented her frustrations by giving that person a good beating. Now, she was sitting in a bullock cart with her two children, both full of anticipation, heading straight for the train station.
It was still the busy farming season, so there weren’t many people out and about. After purchasing a hard sleeper ticket, she was left with a pitiful sixty yuan.
As the train moved forward, it became crowded after passing a major station, and the sleeper car grew lively.
Su Mingxian had bought a lower berth. It was the first time for her two little ones to ride a train; everything was new to them. Their eyes sparkled with curiosity as they bombarded her with questions, chattering endlessly like a swarm of bees.
With a gentle smile, Su Mingxian patiently explained everything to them. However, not everyone was pleased.
“Ugh, it’s so noisy. Can’t you control your kids? Are they annoying you with all their questions?” complained a girl in the upper bunk.
“Shh—Qian Qian, Yang Yang, let’s keep our voices down so we don’t disturb others, okay?” The two children nodded obediently. Su Mingxian smiled as she patted their heads in praise and then leaned out apologetically, saying, “I’m sorry about that.”
The girl frowned and replied coldly, “Oh really? Just saying sorry isn’t enough! Honestly, why bring kids out if they’re going to be this bothersome?”
Just as those words left her mouth, a loud wail erupted from the neighboring seat—a cry so piercing it felt like it could lift the roof off the carriage.
“Can you please manage your child? Stop him from crying! Isn’t it annoying? Don’t you have any manners?” The girl sounded furious as she lashed out.
Unfortunately for her, the person on the other side wasn’t in a good mood either. “Who are you calling ill-mannered? What’s wrong with my child crying? What does it have to do with you? Are you going to manage everything in this world? Can you control when people need to relieve themselves too? If you can’t stand it, don’t sit here! I’m not forcing you…”
She said one thing, and the person opposite cursed a lot, making the girl’s face turn red with anger. "You—"
"Alright, Hongzhu, let’s keep it down. It’s noisy on the train; don’t get upset. I just bought a new album filled with songs you like," came the soothing reply.
"I’m about to lose my mind! How can I have the mood to listen to music? You can listen by yourself," the young girl turned away with a look of disdain, feeling extremely frustrated inside.
Without comparison, there would be no harm done. Su Mingxian, dressed simply, did not diminish the goodwill others felt towards her, especially the middle-aged couple living across from her. Both were highly educated and cultured individuals who regarded her with admiration.
However, Su Mingxian paid no mind to this. Taking advantage of the attention she had drawn, she decided to implement her money-making plan immediately.
"Qian Qian, Yang Yang, are you hungry? Come here; Mommy will make you a cup of Oil Tea Noodles."
Before long, the rich aroma of Oil Tea Noodles wafted through the air, lingering enticingly. The smell was so strong that it made everyone’s mouths water, especially since it was mealtime; suddenly, everyone felt particularly hungry and salivated at the delicious scent.
Not only that, but Su Mingxian also fanned the flames by asking, "Is it delicious?"
"It’s so good! Mommy smells amazing; I want more!" Qian Qian chirped in her sweet voice.
Everyone else: ...
They suddenly felt even hungrier. What should they do?
This was exactly the effect Su Mingxian wanted. But it wasn’t enough; she aimed to fill the entire train car with the enticing aroma of Oil Tea Noodles and was determined that someone would come to buy.
