Chapter 538: Chapter 529: Kind Heart Chapter 538: Chapter 529: Kind Heart The train was still moving forward, and Tang Yuxin was still seated cross-legged on her own luggage, flipping through the book and passing the ti.
However, just as half an hour had passed, the train’s announcent system suddenly buzzed into action again.
It turned out that the train ahead had so issues, necessitating their train to halt at the next station.
Just halt.
For how long?
Tang Yuxin held her head in her hands; sowhat frustrated.
She had traveled by train for so many years, yet this was her first ti encountering a hold-up.
...
And once stopped, how long before they could continue?
One hour, two hours, or even longer?
She honestly couldn’t afford to wait.
Every day wasted ant a day less at ho.
But regardless of her willingness, or that of the other passengers, the train eventually ended up stopping at the station up ahead.
Most of the passengers stayed onboard, probably hoping that the train would start moving again soon.
Tang Yuxin knew this was unlikely and suspected the delay might last an entire day.
At this point, people onboard started to disembark, grumbling about their own luggage.
Tang Yuxin thought for a mont – perhaps she should change her plan?
She could take a bus back ho; it would save her so ti.
And she knew this station – she could take a bus from here and travel overnight.
The next day, she could change to another vehicle, and by midday, she should be able to reach Qing’an.
With fewer and fewer people on the train, Tang Yuxin picked up her suitcase and finally decided to return ho by bus.
Once she disembarked, she toted her suitcase to the bus station across the street, purchased her bus ticket, and waited to board.
While she was seated on a bench, waiting for her bus, she spotted a store selling various wares.
Carrying her suitcase, she bought two pots of instant noodles, more than enough for her journey.
Yet, for so reason, she felt compelled to buy more.
ɴοѵǤᴑ.сο
She selected a few more packages and stowed them in her suitcase.
After making her purchases, she returned to her seat on the bench, carrying her suitcase with her.
She retrieved her book from her bag, laid it on her lap, and began reading.
“Miss, would you like to buy a packed al?”
She heard a voice next to her.
She looked up to see a thin woman standing in front of her.
The woman’s clothes were old but clean, and on the woman’s back was a child.
“Miss, would you like a packed al?”
The woman held in her hand a packaged al.
“I made it myself.
It’s very clean, I washed the vegetables several tis, not a bug in sight.
Five dollars, there’s at and vegetables included, it’s not expensive.”
Tang Yuxin had not initially wanted to buy one, but in the end, she took it.
She handed the woman five dollars.
“Thank you,” the woman accepted the money, clenching it tightly.
She looked back at her child and smiled before turning to leave.
“Wait,” Tang Yuxin suddenly called her back.
The woman paused uneasily, probably fearing that Tang Yuxin wanted to return the al.
After all, it might have been the first al she sold that day.
“How many more do you have?”
Tang Yuxin asked, suddenly feeling a pang of sympathy.
It was cold outside – the adults could bear it, but the child must have been freezing.
“I have nine more.”
The woman was carrying ten als.
No one had bought any, and Tang Yuxin was her first custor, kick-starting her business.
“Give them all to ,” Tang Yuxin took out fifty dollars from her purse.
The woman intended to give her five dollars as change, but Tang Yuxin declined.
The woman ca over quickly, taking out the rest of the als from her bag.
Tang Yuxin looked at the ten packed als and ten bottles of mineral water in front of her.
She had impulsively bought all the als and bottles of water.
She thought, being kind-hearted in this day and age is quite difficult.
Being a good person would probably leave her stuffed to death.
Nevertheless, she picked up a al and began to eat.
Once she opened it, her eyes lit up.
Although it seed ordinary, the content was plentiful.
The rice was white and aromatic, the vegetables were good, there were scrambled eggs with wood ear mushrooms, stir-fried shredded potatoes and garlic sprouts, and a small yellow croaker.
Although the croaker didn’t have much at, the color combination was quite appealing.
She quickly finished the al.
She was full, with nine more packed als left.
What should she do?
Discard them?
That was not an option.
The Tang family tradition had always been not to waste food.
She decided to bring them all with her.
She opened her suitcase and packed the als and the bottles of water.
The suitcase was now tightly packed.
After she packed the suitcase, the coach bus had arrived.
She loaded her suitcase onto the bus.
Originally, she wanted to place it in the overhead rack but after adding a few bottles of water, it was too heavy for her to lift.
Hence, she had to place it at her feet.
She nudged the suitcase and thought, it would be enough space, just need to endure it.
There weren’t many people on the bus, a fact she appreciated since it ant she could choose a different seat.
However, things did not go as she wished.
In a short while, there were nurous footsteps outside, followed by a swarm of people boarding the bus.
Among these people, the two who shoved hardest to get on were familiar – they were the two won with red suitcases who had sat opposite her on the train.
The two won flung their luggage onto the rack and plopped down in the seats, directly opposite Tang Yuxin.
Tang Yuxin rolled her eyes secretly; just as she had feared.
The two won also sneered, murmuring sothing unpleasant.
Soon, the coach bus was nearly full, and outside, there was a still crowd.
Tang Yuxin overheard so passengers ntioning that the train would not leave until tomorrow morning.
So, those who couldn’t wait chose to take this bus instead, which made it suddenly very popular.
The bus started moving.
