Chapter 146: No Yielding
Sitting opposite was a young couple with a child about one year old. Hearing the middle-aged woman say that Mengyu had no regard for the old and the young, the young woman spoke up to Mengyu:
"People’s child wants to sit by the window, just give up your seat."
The man glanced at the woman, "You—"
He wanted to tell her not to talk nonsense, but his woman impatiently shrugged off his hand: "Don’t tell me what to do!"
Mengyu looked at the young woman who was holding the child as if looking at an idiot: "If you think you can give up the seat, then you give it up."
The young woman holding the child looked over at the mother and son and said, "My child likes to see the scenery too."
Mengyu almost laughed, a one-year-old understands scenery? Also, it seems like her child spends most of the time napping, right?
She said with a smile, "Your child is really smart, understanding scenery at one. However, you haven’t even sat him up properly, he probably can’t see the scenery, right?
You might as well swap with her, I don’t mind you squeezing with the child, come on over."
The middle-aged woman indeed eagerly looked at the young woman holding the child.
The young man’s lips twitched, he looked at his woman with a smile that was not quite a smile, as if saying: I told you not to speak, but you did, and see, now you’ve drawn fire onto yourself, haven’t you?
Where would the young woman holding the child concede her seat? She huffed and turned to look out of the window.
Seeing scenery is one thing, she didn’t want another woman squeezing next to her man.
Plus, when the situation fell on herself, she saw the issue from this standpoint as well.
Mengyu could guess that by now she must have realized that the middle-aged woman saying her child wanted to sit by the window was just a lie, actually, she was reluctant to buy two tickets.
She and her child were squeezing into one seat, she could basically only sit on half of it.
But if they sat by the window side, both the mother and son could fully occupy the seat, meanwhile, people outside would have to squeeze into half the seat.
If she gave up her seat to the mother and son, and they came to sit by the window, her husband would only be able to sit with half his buttocks.
This isn’t a short trip where one gets off after sitting for an hour or two, rather it’s a sitting for 36 hours.
Therefore, she was absolutely not going to yield.
Mengyu sighed internally, people are , very considerate when speaking for others, but when it comes to themselves, the talk is not so easy. Thus, as they say, the ass decides the brain, one speaks standpoint based arguments.
The middle-aged woman waited a long while and seeing no one giving up their seat, was quite dissatisfied: "You—each one of you lacks even a bit of Lei Feng spirit!"
Mengyu found it amusing, just now it was not respecting the old and loving the young, now they lack the spirit of Lei Feng.
But this time, she didn’t just mention her individually, she dragged the young woman holding the child into it as well.
Finally, the young woman holding the child experienced the taste of being criticized.
She glared fiercely at the middle-aged woman and said: "Your son takes up more space than an adult, if you think the chair isn’t big enough, you can buy an extra ticket."
The woman, hearing the young woman tell her to buy an extra ticket, immediately got angry: "My son is not even 1.4 meters."
The young woman holding the child huffed, saying: "Other kids who are not 1.4 meters are held by adults."
She showed off her own child a bit and said, "Just like my son. But your son, he must be around twelve or thirteen years old?"
The middle-aged woman was left speechless by the retort.
