Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Argument

Chapter 59 -59 Argument

The conductor saw that everyone was onboard and announced, “Fellow passengers who have just boarded, please make sure to buy your tickets.”

Once everyone had purchased their tickets, the conductor shouted, “The road is not in the best condition, so please hold on tight, make yourselves comfortable, and take care to protect any fragile items.”

The route to the city was still a dirt road; with dust flying outside, no one dared to open the windows. Moreover, occasional stretches were full of potholes, so the vehicle inevitably jolted.

Two women sitting side by side in the front started arguing because they bumped into each other during the bumpy ride.

“Why did you bump into me? Look, you’ve cracked all my eggs.”

“Is it my fault that the bus is bouncing around?”

“But it was your bump that broke my eggs, and I don’t care, you have to compensate me. Otherwise, what will I bring to my aunt in the city?”

“That’s none of my business. It’s your aunt, not mine.”

“How can you be so unreasonable?”

“I’ve already told you, I only bumped your eggs because the bus jolted, and I couldn’t sit steady. Go blame the driver if you want; he’s the one who didn’t drive well.”

Everyone in the bus was exasperated!

The conductor chimed in, “Blaming the driver for this? Aunty, you really are something. If everyone acted like you, our drivers might as well not work at all, and you might as well not take the bus at all.

This bus is a public vehicle; it’s an old pal of our drivers, who cherish it dearly. They drive back and forth between the county town and the city every day, so they know the road like the back of their hand.

The stretch we just went through was full of potholes. If you can drive through it without a single bump and break someone’s eggs, apologies should come before talking about compensation. Look at you, you even expect the driver to pay for your damage.”

After being rebuked by the conductor, the woman quieted down but pretended to be a quail, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, while someone on the bus simply couldn’t stand it any longer.

A woman sitting next to her said, “Young lady, what you’re doing isn’t right. This problem isn’t resolved yet, and your attitude is definitely problematic. Which village are you from?”

The woman who tried to solve the problem by pretending to sleep couldn’t keep up the act and hurriedly admitted, “I was wrong since I did knock into her eggs, but it was really because the bus jolted that I couldn’t keep my balance.”

The conductor asked, “Big sister, how many of your eggs are broken?”

The woman replied, “Six of them are broken. My aunt is in the hospital, and my mother asked me to bring these eggs to the city to help her recover. There weren’t many to begin with, and now six are gone. How am I supposed to explain this?”

With that, she burst into tears.

The people on the bus looked at the complainer, who probably felt she was in the wrong. She took out three copper coins and threw them onto the lap of the aggrieved woman.

With a gruff voice, she said, “Stop crying, as if I’ve bullied you or something. It’s just six eggs, I’m compensating you, isn’t that enough? What a stroke of bad luck.”

The woman accepted the money and stopped crying, and the other passengers turned away, no longer involving themselves.

Luo Qiao thought that as life got better, incidents like the one today would no longer happen. After all, poverty was the cause of such misfortunes, and right now, eggs were still a valuable commodity.

The bus arrived in the city at precisely eight in the morning. The conductor reminded everyone that the return trip would be at half past twelve noon, and if anyone missed it, there would be another bus at five in the afternoon. He emphasized the importance of remembering this for those planning to return.

The original host didn’t have many memories of this place, having been sent with the Luo family to the countryside shortly after birth, and only staying in Ji City for a short period before being relocated back to Qingshan Village after being rehabilitated.

Indeed, Luo Qiao in the book really never experienced a single good day in her life. She was switched at birth, and aside from the late Grandma Luo, no one in the Luo family genuinely cared for her, and she spent her last days worried about the original host.
