Chapter 971: Chapter 971: The Whole Family Takes the Train (7)

By the time Ruan Jiaojiao sat down, the Ruanlin Family was just about to call the person sleeping in the opposite bunk, but before they could, the woman who had just woken up stopped them.

The woman said to the Ruanlin Family, "Auntie, that’s my daughter; she’s not in good health. Could you let her lie down for a bit longer?"

She looked around and saw that Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Jie had put away their luggage and were sitting on the berths in the compartment as well, making it seem like all four berths were theirs. She then suggested, "Look, you have so many berths, and there are two children who can sleep together. How about giving that spot to my daughter?"

"It’s not easy for anyone when we’re traveling. Let’s be considerate of each other, huh?"

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao, who had been sticking her head out the window to breathe, silently turned to look at the audacious woman who had the gall to ask for their seats, somewhat admiring her thick skin and wondering where she found the courage to do so.

Next to her, Shu Jiao took out a thermos from her bag and handed it to her, "Freshly brewed milk before getting on the train, drink it up and then go to sleep."

The Ruanlin Family didn’t outright refuse but instead said, "Alright, this is the fare; just give me a full ticket price," as she handed over her own ticket.

As soon as the woman saw she was asking for money, her face changed, "Why should money be involved? We all have our troubles when away from home. What’s wrong with lending a hand? I’ve never seen anyone like you all, always talking about money."

"Is that so? Well, now you’ve seen. Move along quickly," Ruanlin Family was too tired to argue further after a busy day and lacked the energy for such trivial matters.

Having said that, she patted the girl who was still feigning sleep. The little girl couldn’t play dead any longer and raised her head to look over, the first thing she saw being Ruan Jiaojiao, who was holding a small cup and drinking milk. Her gaze flickered, then pressed her lips together, reluctantly sitting up, her movements languid.

She looked about fifteen or sixteen, with braids and a rather delicate appearance, but she seemed rather plain next to the Ruan Family.

She probably didn’t want to come down; she dragged her feet and took an eternity to do so. When she finally touched her shoes on the lower level, she stopped again, showing no intention of wearing them; instead, she looked up at the woman next to her, "Mom, I’m not feeling well. I feel so uncomfortable."

With that, her tears started flowing, and she put on a pitiful look, as if pulling her from her seat was an outrageous thing to do.

"..." Ruan Jiaojiao thought her acting wasn’t half bad.

However, she had certainly picked the wrong audience. Knowing her own grandmother, if someone was truly unwell, she would have voluntarily given up her seat without them asking. Yet based on the behavior just displayed, the only outcome would surely be getting kicked off the seat.

As expected, the next second the Ruanlin Family called over Ruan Jianguo.

Ruan Jianguo was genuinely hefty, and as he walked over, he resembled a small mountain, completely blocking the already narrow aisle.

"What’s up, mom?"

"Tell her to get down," said the Ruanlin Family.

"..." Ruan Jianguo.

Asking a grown man to bully a little girl?

Well, it might be a real challenge for someone else, but who is Ruan Jianguo? Each of the three women at home was a matriarch, placed above everything else—handling this would not stress him in the slightest.

He gave the girl a stern look. Before he could speak, the girl had already quickly climbed down from the bunk, pale-faced and swift in her movements.
