Li Huan was furious at the old woman’s words. "Ma’am, how can you say something like that? You have your own seats, but you came over here to take ours. And you think you’re in the right?"

"What? It’s not like I’m making you stand. There are seats over there, why don’t you just go sit in them? You’re a young girl, you look so quiet and gentle. Why are you picking a fight with an old lady like me? Oh, I get it. You see that it’s just me, an old woman, and a little kid, so you think we’re easy to bully, is that it?" the old woman said, rolling her eyes at Li Huan.

Li Huan had never met someone so unreasonable in her entire life. Her face flushed red with anger.

To make matters worse, someone nearby sided with the old woman. "Young lady, she’s an old woman. Don’t argue with her. Just go sit over there. It’s not like they’re making you stand."

Of course, most people still had a sense of right and wrong. Someone criticized the person who had sided with the old woman. "What are you chiming in for? These seats belonged to the young ladies in the first place. It’s not like the old woman didn’t have her own seats, so why should she take someone else’s? If you ask me, the young lady is right to fight for her own seat. She didn’t steal it or snatch it, so why shouldn’t she stand her ground?"

Seeing that Li Huan was too angry to speak, the old woman grew even more smug. Her little grandson next to her made a face at Li Huan. "We’re not giving it to you, we’re not giving it to you! Nyeh nyeh nyeh!"

The little boy’s actions made most of the people present frown in disapproval.

Su Qing hadn’t been in a hurry, slowly making her way inside with the crowd. But then she saw that not only had her and Li Huan’s seats been taken, but Li Huan was too furious to even speak. Immediately, Su Qing pushed through the crowd, quickening her pace. She handed her rattan trunk and small bundle to Li Huan, and then, without a word, walked up, picked up the little boy, and headed toward seats number one and two.

Everyone was dumbfounded by Su Qing’s move. The old woman, in particular, didn’t even react when Su Qing snatched up her grandson. It was only when Su Qing was walking away with the boy that she let out a shriek, stood up, and lunged toward Su Qing. "You damn brat, what do you think you’re doing? Put my grandson down right now, or I’m not letting you hear the end of this!"

Su Qing completely ignored the old woman. She placed the little boy directly into seat number one, then turned to the charging woman and said, "This is your seat. Please sit here properly. If you come over to steal our seats again, I won’t be so polite."

"You, you..." Now it was the old woman’s turn to be red-faced with anger. But Su Qing paid her no more mind and simply returned to her own seat, leaving the old woman standing there, glaring helplessly.

"Oh my god, Su Qing, you’re amazing." Li Huan was also stunned by Su Qing’s actions. When Su Qing returned, she exclaimed, "You really know how to handle things. If it were me, I’d just be too angry to say a word."

Su Qing smiled. "With people like her, if she’s going to be unreasonable, you have to be even more unreasonable. Otherwise, you’re just asking to be taken advantage of."

Li Huan nodded quickly. ’Okay, lesson learned. I have to be more like Su Qing from now on,’ she thought. But then she remembered the way Su Qing had just picked up that little boy. ’I don’t have that kind of Combat Power,’ she realized, feeling a little discouraged again.

Having driven away the seat-stealing grandmother and grandson, Su Qing and Li Huan prepared to store their luggage. By now, the overhead rack was already stuffed with bags of all sizes. Their two rattan trunks were relatively small. Su Qing spotted a space that was still fairly open and planned to squeeze her and Li Huan’s trunks in there.

Who would have thought that as soon as Su Qing nudged a package, the same old woman would rush over? "Don’t touch that! Don’t touch it! That’s my stuff! What do you think you’re doing? You’ve gotten addicted to bullying people, haven’t you? Oh, lordy, everyone, look at this! An old woman like me is being bullied to death by a young girl!"

As the old woman spoke, she slapped her thigh. She had intended to sit on the floor and wail, but the train car was too crowded and the space too narrow, so she had to settle for slapping her thigh while she howled.

Because of what had just happened, most of the passengers had a low opinion of the old woman. They watched her make a scene with cold detachment, and no one spoke up for her. Inwardly, they all felt she was being utterly unreasonable. ’You’re not even sitting here, but you put your luggage here, taking up someone else’s space, and then you won’t even let the person who actually sits here make a little room to put their own bags away? What kind of nonsense is that?’

When Su Qing heard the old woman, she thought, ’Oh, so this bag belongs to that pair.’ And so, she simply took the package down and tossed it toward the old woman. "Since this bag is yours, please put it on your own side."

After speaking, Su Qing deftly placed her and Li Huan’s rattan trunks onto the overhead rack.

Li Huan looked at Su Qing, her eyes practically sparkling with admiration.

The old woman hadn’t expected Su Qing to pull such a move. Seeing her luggage tossed at her, she caught it instinctively. The moment she had it in her hands, she suddenly felt as if she’d been kicked out of her own home. She wouldn’t stand for it. "You damn brat, what gives you the right to throw my luggage? I’ll beat you to death, you shameless little hussy!"

With that, she threw her bag onto the floor and charged at Su Qing, raising a hand as large as a cattail fan to slap her across the face.

Su Qing’s expression turned icy. She grabbed the old woman’s descending hand in a firm grip. "If you continue to cause trouble like this, I’m calling the conductor."

The look in Su Qing’s eyes was even colder now, making the old woman’s heart tremble. She had never seen such a look before. It was... like she was looking at a dead person. If not for the fact that she was just a young girl, the old woman would have thought Su Qing was a cold-blooded murderer who could kill without batting an eye.

Combined with the scar on her left cheek, it made her look even more terrifying.

"You... I..." The old woman’s speech faltered. The hand caught in Su Qing’s grip trembled as she tried to pull it back. Su Qing didn’t tighten her hold, allowing the woman to retract her hand.

The old woman picked up her bag and said to Su Qing with false bravado, "As if I’d want to put my stuff on your side anyway. Ptooey."

Saying this, she hurriedly grabbed her bag and returned to her seat.

With the end of the farce, everyone around could see that Su Qing was not to be trifled with. Even the person who had spoken up for the old woman earlier didn’t dare say another word.

’Not someone to mess with, definitely not someone to mess with. Best to leave her alone.’

"Su Qing, you’re so amazing," Li Huan said, looking at Su Qing with adoration.

Su Qing smiled. "It was nothing."

Soon, the train began to move, and the car gradually quieted down. It was almost mealtime, and many people began to take out the food they had brought with them.

The car Su Qing and Li Huan were in was right next to the dining car. Li Huan hadn’t brought any food. She took out a lunch box and said to Su Qing with a broad smile, "Come on, let’s go to the dining car. My treat."
