"I'm sorry, I'll take her to the dining car first, and then I'll hold her back when she stops crying."
Lu Yunzheng's voice sounded a little intermittent amidst Zhao Youyou's cries. After apologizing to the other party, Lu Yunzheng quickly carried the person out of the car and walked towards the dining car.
Seeing that he was sincere in admitting his mistakes and taking remedial measures, the elegant aunt's originally irritable mood eased a little.
But her eyes passed across the box inadvertently, and she saw Xu Wantang in the box looking like he had nothing to do with her. Somehow, it reminded her of her lazy daughter-in-law who let her son do everything, and she couldn't help but taunt her before leaving. He said, "I don't know how some women can be mothers. They don't care about their children crying like that. They are so heartless!"
The aunt became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, "A woman like you who doesn't know how to understand her husband and is useless will be rejected by her husband sooner or later. He may dump you at some point, and you won't have anywhere to cry..." "
"You little girls don't know how high the sky is just because you are pretty..."
Xu Wantang was upset when he heard this.
She felt quite embarrassed at first, but the second time Zhao Youyou cried was because she didn't give Zhao Youyou a snack, thus indirectly disturbing other people.
She originally wanted to get out of bed and say sorry to her aunt face to face. After all, meeting a disobedient child like Zhao Youyou during the trip was quite frustrating.
But I didn't expect to be scolded so badly.
Xu Wantang paused in putting on his shoes. The next second, his feet retracted into the quilt and he returned to the bed.
"The child is not mine."
Xu Wantang interrupted the aunt's chatter.
Visibly to the naked eye, the aunt's lip muscles trembled involuntarily, "This..."
Before the aunt could fully digest this extremely informative sentence, Xu Wantang rolled her eyes and then she pretended to smile bitterly and spoke again, "He and I have only been married for three months, but we will divorce soon..."
Auntie's mind was running rapidly, and she was able to extract a lot of profound meaning from Xu Wantang's two short sentences.
The aunt covered her mouth in surprise.
Is that what she thought?
It seems like...that young man had already had such a big child without telling his wife?
It should be, otherwise we wouldn't be getting divorced after only three months of marriage...
God, that human-looking young man just now was so inhuman!
For a moment, the look in the aunt's eyes when she looked at Xu Wantang changed from disgust to distress. Her thin lips that looked a bit mean opened and closed again, and she could no longer say any unpleasant words, "Girl, you..."
The aunt wanted to comfort the poor little daughter-in-law, but she saw the other party waved her hand tiredly, "I want to rest for a while..."
"Okay! Okay! I'll close the door for you! You have a good rest. Everything will be over after you sleep. You are still young, so don't make it difficult for yourself." The aunt comforted her diligently.
The box door was gently closed, and Xu Wantang was finally at peace. She buried her head in the quilt and shrank back in with some guilt.
But after thinking about it, she was telling the truth: Zhao Youyou was indeed not her biological child, she had only been married to Lu Yunzheng for three months, and she was about to divorce Lu Yunzheng.
It was the aunt who spoke harshly to me first, she just thought wrongly...
On the other side, the aunt who had lost her mind sighed and entered the door of her box.
Her wife, who was reading a newspaper with her hat on, glanced at her suspiciously, "What's wrong? The child's parents are unreasonable?"
The aunt shook her head mentally, "No..."
The uncle looked surprised. After all these years, he naturally knew what kind of person his wife was. She was outspoken and said whatever came to her mind. She never tolerated being angry. There had never been such a sad look on her face.
"What happened?" The uncle put down the newspaper and asked.
"Alas!" The aunt sighed and tucked herself into the quilt, "Don't talk to me, I feel guilty..."

Lu Yunzheng carried Zhao Youyou to the dining car, and the aunt also left. Xu Wantang could naturally have a good sleep.
After sleeping until about 9 o'clock, when Xu Wantang woke up, Lu Yunzheng and Zhao Youyou hadn't come back yet. It seemed that Zhao Youyou had tormented Lu Yunzheng enough.
Today is a sunny day, and the sunlight outside the window shines into the car. Xu Wantang sat up from the bed, lying on the small table, leaning his head to admire the scenery outside the window.
The trains at this time were not as fast as those in later generations. Today's trains run slower, and as the car body moves, it makes a sound of "Besides--but--".
Because the speed is slow, the scenery outside can be seen clearly.
Everything you see is green, with acres of wheat fields, low houses, and winding paths forming a healing picture.
Xu Wantang was so fascinated that she didn't even notice the sound of Lu Yunzheng opening the box door.

Lu Yunzheng felt that these few short hours seemed to kill him.
He took the crying Zhao Youyou to the dining car and ordered a lunch for her, but not only did she not stop crying, she also knocked over the lunch with her palm, leaving oil stains on his pants.
Not only that, this little girl was crying and muttering very vicious words such as "bad woman" and "go to hell".
Lu Yunzheng had just taught Zhao Youyou a lesson the day before because of Zhao Youyou's rude words and disrespect for Xu Wantang, but just one day later, Zhao Youyou made the same mistake again without hesitation.
Lu Yunzheng finally made a decision at this moment - when they get to the island, Zhao Youyou should be sent back to her biological mother.
He is busy with work and has neither time nor confidence to educate Zhao Youyou well.
Moreover, this time he deeply realized the difficulty of raising a child. As the saying goes, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." He didn't want to impose on Xu Wantang what he didn't want to do.
Thinking of this, the stone in Lu Yunzheng's heart finally fell to the ground, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
It wasn't until Zhao Youyou's mood stabilized that he carried Zhao Youyou back to the box.
On the way, he met the aunt who came to their box and knocked on the door again. He didn't say anything, but he received a big look from the aunt.
Lu Yunzheng:?
Maybe Zhao Youyou cried too loudly just now, and the aunt is still angry...
Lu Yunzheng thought so.
He opened the door of the box and hesitated to enter the box. His eyes fell on the man by the window and did not look away for a long time.
Xu Wantang's face was facing the box door. From his angle, he could see the tip of her straight nose and smooth and plump forehead.
The sunlight coated her thick eyelashes with a layer of gold, like flying, glowing butterflies.
She might have just woken up. Except for her hair, which was a little scattered, her loose trousers had rolled up to around her knees at some point, revealing a pair of white, tender, straight calves. She didn't seem to notice it.
However, those conspicuous calves were still dangling happily in front of him, constantly attracting his attention.
Lu Yunzheng looked a little flustered. He held the sleeping Zhao Youyou with one hand and quickly closed the door with the other hand.
There was a "dong" sound, and the door and door frame made a loud noise, but it did not cover up Lu Yunzheng's slightly chaotic heartbeat at all...
