Chapter 64: Kneel Down...The Brat Encounters Xu Hengzhou
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Song Wenbin quickly stood up, blocking the woman from putting her child on the upper bunk.
Song Wenbin had a tall and imposing stature, which became even more pronounced in the cramped space of the sleeper car. The woman was frightened by him and withdrew, bringing the child back into her arms.
"What's the matter?" The woman looked bewildered, as if she couldn't understand the situation. "What's the problem with me putting my kid up there? Does it bother you guys?"
If Song Wenbin hadn't purchased the tickets himself and double-checked the seating arrangement a moment ago, he might have doubted whether he made a mistake. The woman's attitude seemed so presumptuous, as if she owned the sleeper berth ticket herself.
"This is our designated berth." Song Wenbin gestured towards Xu Hengzhou standing beside him and spoke kindly, "My nephew will be going up there shortly."
The woman glanced at them and then turned her head to look at the person sitting on the upper bunk, which happened to be Xiang Chen. Seeing this situation, Xiang Chen had already abandoned the almonds, and with wide, round eyes, he observed what was happening below.
"Is this your kid?" The woman pointed at Xiang Chen and asked.
Song Wenbin nodded, "He's my nephew."
A disdainful smile appeared on the woman's face. "Still occupying someone else's place and having the nerve to accuse me. Quickly get your kid down. Three grown men bullying a widowed mother and orphan, have you no shame?"
Song Wenbin choked, feeling that this woman was simply making trouble out of nothing. If someone didn't know any better, they might think he had done something to her.
Xu Hengzhou, with a furrowed brow, pulled out their three train tickets from his bag. Dealing with this kind of person required no unnecessary talk. From what she said about Xiang Chen earlier, it was clear she knew the regulations regarding bringing children on the train but just didn't want to follow them.
"These are our tickets, three in total, and both upper bunks are ours." Xu Hengzhou flashed the tickets in front of the woman, speaking straightforwardly.
"What?" The woman couldn't believe it. The kid on the upper bunk was so small; he didn't need a ticket. Why did they specifically buy an extra berth?
A fleeting expression of embarrassment crossed the woman's face. Her facial muscles twitched a few times before she forced a flattering smile, "Comrade, you see, I'm a woman with so many kids. It's really inconvenient. You're only three people, and the kid is so young. Why make him sleep alone on a bunk? What if he falls at night? It's so high; he could crack his skull. Let him sleep on the lower bunk, and you can take the upper one."
Song Wenbin almost burst out laughing at her ridiculous reasoning. If it weren't for wanting the child to sleep more comfortably, why would he spend extra money to buy an additional ticket? Does she think I'm burning money? Moreover, she's not a relative or friend; she demands he gives up his bed right away. Why does she have such a thick skin? And listen to her words, she even cursed my child. Your child would crack his skull!
"No," Song Wenbin couldn't be polite to this woman anymore. "I bought an extra berth just to ensure my nephew can sleep comfortably. If you find it crowded, you can go and upgrade to a seat."
