Chapter 117: Dismissal...This Wicked Woman Finally Gets Some Retribution

Xiang Chen had been listening attentively and immediately clung to his brother's arm upon hearing the conversation, his voice soft, "Brother, I don't feel well, I'm uncomfortable..."

He half-lay on Xu Hengzhou's body, needing to pull him away first if he wanted Xu Hengzhou to get up.

Chen's mother also intended to do the same. She tossed her bundle into Chen Guomin's arms and reached out to grab Xiang Chen, saying, "Get up, I can tell you're just pretending. What kind of person can't withstand a little cold wind?"

Xu Hengzhou blocked Chen's mother's hand with his arm, his sharp gaze fixed on Chen Guomin, "Captain of the Third Team, what do you say?"

Chen Guomin tried to smooth things over with a smile, "My mother is old, you see..."

Xu Hengzhou smirked, a smile devoid of warmth, and ignored him. Instead, he shouted to the ticket seller, "Comrade, when are we leaving? I'm in a hurry to get to the train station."

Other passengers on the bus also began to complain. They had come early to catch the bus, and waited patiently for it to fill up, and now this disruption was causing delays.

"Let's go, let's go, we're leaving now." The ticket seller shouted at Chen Guomin and his mother, "Are you getting on or not? If you're not, get off quickly and I'll refund your money. If you are, then sit down quickly, because we're about to leave."

Chen's mother, hands on her hips, was stubborn, "We're sitting! Why wouldn't we sit? We paid for our tickets, so find us a seat for me and my son."

"Hey, old lady, can't you understand? When you got on the bus, I told you there were no seats left. You chose to get on anyway," the ticket seller was getting irritated, giving Chen Guomin a disapproving look. It was he who had spoken nicely earlier, allowing them on board.

"You..." Chen's mother was about to speak, but the driver had already revved the engine, and the bus was buzzing, ready to depart.

Panicked, Chen's mother yelled, "What are you doing? I haven't even sat down yet, and you're driving!"

The driver, who had been silent until now, shouted in a rough voice, "Sit or leave now!"

Chen's mother's face turned red with anger, but she dared not confront the ticket seller. She relied on the ticket seller's respect for the elderly, and she also believed that she could handle any fight. After all, her son was still here.

But the driver was different. He was a burly man with a booming voice that echoed through the entire bus when he shouted.

Chen's mother felt intimidated. The road conditions were poor at the moment. Once the bus started moving, it bounced and swayed like a roller coaster. Even a strong man might not be able to stand steadily, let alone an old lady like her.

Clutching Chen Guomin's arm, Chen's mother hurriedly sat down where she was standing. Chen Guomin sat behind her in the aisle, his expression stern. Sitting on the metal floor in the middle of winter was uncomfortable, but Chen's mother hugged her bundle tightly, unwilling to use it as a cushion.

Even after sitting down, Chen's mother didn't calm down. She muttered under her breath, badmouthing Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen, intentionally speaking loudly so that Chen Guomin could hear. She even suggested that he should go back and teach the educated youths in the village how to behave.
