Luo Qiao thought to herself, is this damn woman crazy? There were still so many people outside waiting for her to ferry across, she turned and said, “Auntie, you’d better find someone else. If you drag me down again, that wouldn’t be good.”
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. A woman chuckled, “Li Xiulan, you’re really funny, expecting Luo Qiao, who hardly has two ounces of flesh on her, to pull you with your tonnage, that’s hilarious.”
Li Xiulan’s face darkened at the woman’s words, “Can’t you speak properly? She’s just helping out, what’s the big deal with her moving a little, she’s so young?”
Ding Caifeng, the daughter-in-law of Accountant Sun who had a beef with Li Xiulan, said, “Aren’t you bullying her? What has Luo Qiao done to you? With so many people on the bus, you pick on her specifically.”
Li Xiulan, who already didn’t get along with Ding Caifeng, heard these words, thinking that Ding was trying to ruin her good deeds, right?
Just as she was about to start cursing, she heard Lu Yichen say, “Are you getting on or not? If not, then we’re leaving. If we’re late for the delivery, are you going to take responsibility?”
He then stepped hard on the accelerator, and after the vehicle sputtered a few times, emitting a puff of black smoke, the sound of shifting gears followed. This frightened Li Xiulan so much that she no longer needed help to get on.
Although clumsy, she managed to climb aboard. As for Gao Taohua, who was still walking leisurely behind, Lu Yichen shouted, “Sit tight.”
With that, the vehicle started moving forward. Gao Taohua had just reached the bridge when she saw the vehicle begin to move. In a panic, she stopped dawdling and ran to chase the tractor, but Lu Yichen completely ignored her, shifting gears and speeding away.
Panicked, Li Xiulan began to shout and holler. When she saw that Lu Yichen wasn’t taking her seriously, she started to curse him, calling him a cripple, a heartless bastard, saying he must have gone deaf at such a young age.
The vehicle suddenly stopped, and Lu Yichen’s stern voice commanded, “Get off.”
By this time, they had already traveled two li. Li Xiulan became frantic, “Why should I get off?”
Lu Yichen replied, “Don’t make me repeat myself. If this delays the commune’s business, I’ll report it as it is. We’ll see if the Gao Family can afford the consequences.”
Seeing the stern look on Lu Yichen’s face, Li Xiulan realized she would be in trouble if she refused to disembark, fearing that this ‘dead cripple’ might actually report her.
Thinking about how her family was not well-off to begin with, and how Gao Shunyi would probably give her a serious talking-to for causing trouble outside just for the sake of saving face,
she had no choice but to dejectedly get off the vehicle, still cussing, “You damn cripple, serves you right to be lame for life and remain a bachelor forever.”
This earned her nothing but disdain from everyone on board, but at this time, no one was eager to provoke her, just in case she went crazy.
Without Li Xiulan’s noisy complaints, there was harmony among the passengers.
Soon they arrived at the commune. The tractor stopped at the junction outside the commune, leading to the county town and the city.
Luo Qiao, along with everyone else, got off the tractor and nodded at Lu Yichen before stepping back to the side of the road.
The village women were all chatting and laughing as they walked towards the commune. No one seemed to pay any attention to Luo Qiao’s movements. Seeing that no one was watching her, she positioned herself on the side of the road that led to the city, waiting for the bus.
She had inquired before when she used to go to work; the buses to the city ran two round trips a day. She estimated that one should be arriving soon.
There were a few people waiting for the bus nearby, the fare being twenty cents. Luo Qiao had prepared the exact change in advance.
She didn’t have to wait long before the bus arrived. The ticket seller yelled through the window, “Anyone going to the city? It’s time to move out. Are there any more passengers?”
Luo Qiao boarded the bus and found a place to sit. The bus had come from the county town and would pass through the military family district up ahead. The bus was quite crowded.
