The old lady turned around with her eyes wide open, and the flesh on her cheeks trembled because she was humiliated in public.

"Who do you think you are? You are full of shit. You little girl have no manners. Get out of my way!"

The old lady struggled to break free from Banxiu but did not pull her hand away, and started talking without thinking.

When Yi Jie heard these dirty words, her disgusted eyes were self-evident, which made the old lady so angry that she jumped up and down, and was about to kick Yi Jie. Unfortunately, Yi Jie was not a soft-hearted person, so she would never let her wish come true. She stretched out her leg and tripped the old lady, who half-knelt on the ground and cried out in pain.

"It's so unfair. This damn bastard is bullying an old woman."

"What are you talking about, you old woman?" The family members were walking towards this side. Zhang Peiyao pointed at the old woman and cursed angrily. When they heard the noise here, they hurriedly stood up, fearing that Yi Jie would be wronged.

"A group of people are taking action, and you still don't judge for what's right." The old lady looked at the passengers hopefully.

The passengers who witnessed the entire incident kept their eyes and noses in check, as if nothing had happened.

Yi Jie smiled contemptuously: "Old lady, you openly bullied other passengers on the high-speed train and beat up the crew. These are facts that everyone has witnessed. They constitute illegal acts of provoking trouble and disrupting public order. You will be sent directly to the police station when we get to the next stop. Right, sister?"

When the flight attendant saw Yi Jie asking her, she nodded hurriedly. She had only been working there for a short time, lacked experience, and was young. She was stunned by the slap in the face just now, and was only thinking about how to solve the problem at hand, and forgot about this.

"You're talking nonsense! I'm just teaching them a lesson on behalf of their parents." Yi Jie's words frightened the old lady, and her tone became much weaker.

"We'll know whether I'm talking nonsense or not at the next stop. Sister, please ask the flight attendant to come and deal with this matter."

"Okay, I'll report it right away." The female flight attendant took out her pager and briefly explained the situation to the chief flight attendant.

The old woman's face was like a color palette, its color changed very quickly, and finally her face turned red and she cried and trembled like a sieve.

Yi Jie was too lazy to pay attention, she looked at the time on her watch and said sarcastically:

"The train will arrive in about ten minutes. If you cry louder, you won't be able to throw a tantrum in police custody later."

The old lady understood the stakes and turned to beg for mercy, saying that she was blinded by greed and confused for a moment, and that she knew she was wrong, and asked everyone not to bother with her. She especially cried loudly to the girl and the flight attendant who she bullied.

Fortunately, the two girls were not pushovers and did not accept her apology.

Yi Jie felt relieved. If she let off a person like this who took advantage of her seniority easily, she might dare to do it again next time and she might succeed. She deserved to be taught a lesson and made to pay some money before she knew how powerful she was.

The chief steward came over soon, followed by several tall male stewards. After handing over to the female steward, he escorted the old lady out of the carriage.

I don't know who started the applause in the carriage, and the cheers kept coming. The female attendant and the girl thanked Yi Jie repeatedly. Yi Jie smiled and said it was just a small matter, and returned to her seat carelessly.

The chief conductor happened to be pushing a dining cart over, loaded with some delicious snacks and drinks, and distributed them to the people in the carriage, expressing his apologies for disrupting everyone's rest time.

Yi Jie saw that the snack in her hand was extra large, and the flight attendant smiled warmly when he handed it to her.

Thanks to the kindness of the flight attendant, Yi Jie shared the snacks with her family, and they were quickly finished.

When she got off the car, she saw the police waiting at the door, who were escorting the dejected old lady away. The old lady put on a vicious expression when she saw Yi Jie, but after being scolded by the police officer next to her, she immediately became well-behaved and stopped making trouble. Yi Jie was amused to see this.

We took a bus to Wen County via City C. It was already 10pm when we got home. We didn't do much, just washed up and went to bed. After driving for most of the afternoon, the whole family was a little tired.

Yi Jie fell into bed and fell asleep. She had an appointment with Sister Beibei to go out tomorrow morning to buy some travel necessities, so she couldn't get up too late.

After two days of rest at home, Yi Jie and Li Beibei boarded a plane to the nearest city to Huihe Island. When they asked Yang Wenjun and Meng Jie, they were both not in Wen County and could not go with Yi Jie. They were extremely envious of Yi Jie's public-funded island tour. They pestered Yi Jie to make a promise to take them with them on the next public-funded tour before they gave up.

Xinghai City is the coastal city closest to Huihe Island. To go to the island, you have to take a boat from the Xinghai City pier.

The style of coastal cities is very different from that of inland cities. For example, seafood should not be sold too cheaply. Yi Jie and Li Beibei went to the island the next day. They listened to the advice of the locals and had a big meal in Xinghai. The reason was that the cost of living on Huihe Island was much higher than that in the city, and the supplies were also scarce. It was better to eat to your heart's content in Xinghai.

The next day, the sky was overcast and not very good weather. The crew at the dock said it was okay, as overcast days were common in coastal cities, as long as it didn't rain. The two then boarded the boat with confidence.

After half an hour of sailing, Yi Jie stood in front of the fence and saw the outline of Huihe Island. On the blue sea, a thin mist covered the entire island, creating a mysterious beauty. Through the mist, you can see the reefs, rows of coconut trees, and vague houses on the shore. The people playing on the shore added a lot of color to this quiet and peaceful picture.

Yi Jie raised the corners of her mouth slightly, opened her arms, and felt the moist sea breeze.

"You jump, I jump!" Li Beibei hugged Yi Jie's slender body from behind and said affectionately.

Yi Jie almost laughed to the point of wrinkles on her face, and it was embarrassing.

After the boat docked, the two walked ashore with their suitcases. The land on the island was not good, and it was muddy. It probably rained just now, so it was like this. There were no flat and solid cement roads everywhere like in the future when it is fully developed. Most of them were original mud roads.

"My feet are covered in mud! I'm going crazy!" Li Beibei screamed.

Yi Jie looked down and saw that Li Beibei's delicate sandals were covered with yellow mud, and her white feet were also stained. She looked at her own white shoes, which were also not much better. She could only call them yellow shoes for a few minutes.

"The B&B we booked isn't far away, just bear with it for a while. I told you to wear sneakers but you didn't believe me."

"The sneakers don't match my skirt." Li Beibei pouted her bright red lips.

Yi Jie glanced at Li Beibei's bohemian-style long skirt and thought, okay, the most important thing is that it looks good.

The B&B is located on a small hill with a classic western pastoral style. A large number of rattan decorations and green plants make people happy.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. It will definitely look great to take photos here." Li Beibei's bad mood was swept away.

"Welcome, welcome. Are you the guests who made a reservation in advance?" A young and beautiful girl walked to the door with a friendly smile to greet the two people.

"Yes, could you please tell me if there is a faucet outside the house? Our shoes are too dirty and we are afraid of dirtying the floor." Yi Jie asked the girl politely.

"Yes, yes, follow me." The girl enthusiastically led the two of them to the corner of the front garden.

"Here it is. You can use it. It's next to the brush. It rains a lot on the island, so it's common for people to have dirty shoes. You can brush your shoes here before entering the B&B."

"Okay, thank you." Yi Jie nodded.

"It's okay, it's my duty. Just call me little." The girl introduced herself.

"My name is Yi Jie, and the person next to me is my sister, you can call her Beibei." Yi Jie pointed at Li Beibei who was brushing her shoes carefully and introduced her to Xiaodian. Li Beibei raised her head and smiled brightly when she heard that.

"Yijie, Beibei, you two are so pretty. I love being friends with pretty girls the most." Xiaodian was very enthusiastic.

Yi Jie responded with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of me these few days. If I see anything delicious or fun, I'll have to rely on you to recommend it. By the way, do you run this B&B alone?"

Xiaodian was very straightforward. "Of course. This B&B is owned by my parents. I came here to help them during the summer vacation. It's time for lunch now. You guys came just in time. Let's eat together later."

"That's not a good idea." Yi Jie declined politely. She felt embarrassed to eat for free.

Xiaodian took her hand in a familiar way and said, "It's okay for a meal, and you can just pay later."

Under Xiaodian's enthusiastic offensive, Yi Jie had no choice but to agree.

After wiping her shoes, she walked into the house. It was not difficult to tell from the neat and clean house that the owner was a meticulous person. Yi Jie became more satisfied with the environment of the B&B.

Xiaodian took the two of them to the second floor to see the room. When they pushed the door open, they saw a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing the sea. Yi Jie was delighted that she could enjoy such a beautiful scenery as soon as she got up.

The room was not big, but warm and elegant. Li Beibei excitedly grabbed Yi Jie's hand and shook it non-stop: "The environment is really good, Xiao Jie, you are amazing."

After putting away the luggage with satisfaction, Xiaodian took the two of them to the third floor. The third floor was actually a small courtyard with a lot of flowers and plants, two rocking chairs and a table, as well as a graffiti wall with many words written on it, which were probably left by tourists.

"It's very comfortable to drink coffee and tea here in the morning. You can try it. The weather is not very good these two days. When it clears up, you can see the stars at night."

"We'll be staying here for seven days, so we have time." Yi Jie said with anticipation, thinking that she could spruce up her balcony at home in the same way as this small courtyard, and do it when she gets back, which would be so romantic.

After going downstairs, the aroma of food wafted into everyone's noses.

"Ah! It's the taste of spicy fried clams. You're in for a treat. My dad makes this the best." Xiaodian pulled the two of them to the dining table.

The dishes on the table looked very fresh and appetizing.

"Little one, is this a new guest?" A middle-aged man wearing a bear apron came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of soup.

"Yes, Dad, I invited them to have dinner with us." Xiaodian reached out and picked up a clam and put it into his mouth.

The woman in the floral dress came out of the kitchen and whispered, "You didn't wash your hands again! The guests are still here."

The woman turned around and smiled apologetically at Yi Jie and the other man.

"Xiao Jie and the others wouldn't care that much, right?" Xiaodian blinked.

Yi Jie smiled and said, "Auntie, it's okay. I do the same at home. I do this because we are close."

"Haha, you young people, hurry up and sit down and eat." The woman served the two of them the meal promptly.

Yi Jie and Li Beibei were sensible and waited for the host to start picking up the food before they started to pick up the food.

Yi Jie picked up the spicy fried clams that Xiaodian had mentioned with her chopsticks. As soon as she took the clams in her mouth, she knew why Xiaodian was so happy. Different from those sold outside, the ones made by Xiaodian's father had a unique sauce flavor, which was probably an exclusive secret recipe.

Each of the four dishes had its own flavor. Yi Jie and Li Beibei ate with their mouths drooling. They kept praising Xiaodian's father's cooking skills and even drank a few more sips of the wine he praised, feeling very elated.

After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted. Yi Jie learned that Uncle Cao (Xiaodian's father) and Aunt Chen (Xiaodian's mother) were from Jianan Province. They were born with a strong taste for food and only came to Xinghai City to develop more than ten years ago. Yi Jie said, no wonder the food was so appetizing, it turned out that they were from the same hometown.

After knowing that Yi Jie and Li Beibei were from Jianan Province, the three of them became more enthusiastic. They had a good impression of the girls and they were also from the same hometown, so they had to take better care of them.

After the nap, Xiaodian asked the two to rent an electric donkey to ride around the island. Yijie and the others readily agreed, as they were worried about where to start.

"Biaozi, where are you going?" On the way to the car rental company, the three saw a dark-skinned boy pushing a tire towards the beach.

"Push it over to the slide, my dad is still waiting for me. Are you bringing the guests?" The boy grinned, revealing his white teeth, which formed a sharp contrast with his skin.

"Yeah, be careful not to fall like last time. I'm leaving now."

"Humph, the tires were too heavy last time!" the boy argued angrily.

Xiaodian narrowed his eyes and walked away with Yi Jie.

"Landslide, what is that?" Li Beibei asked Xiaodian curiously.

"Ah, there is a very high slope over there. Uncle Huang built a slide here and used tires as props. You can sit on it and slide down. It's quite exciting and not expensive. You can go and have a try. Young people like it." Xiaodian pointed to a hillside not far away, which did look quite high.

"That sounds great, Xiao Jie, let's go play tomorrow." Li Beibei suggested.

Yi Jie was also interested and agreed.

They went to a car rental company and spent fifty yuan to rent a car for three hours. The three of them rode an electric scooter around the island.

Yi Jie was a little shaky at first. It had been a long time since she last rode an electric bike, so her hands were a little unfamiliar with it. After a while, she got used to it, which made Li Beibei scream.

"Xiao Jie, you were able to ride it by yourself the first time, what else can't you do?"

That’s right. In the eyes of others, I, a high school sophomore, am riding an electric bike for the first time.

"This is called maxing out your talent and skills. You can't envy it." Yi Jie overtook Li Beibei and drove ahead of her, causing Li Beibei to chase hard from behind.

Laughing and chatting all the way, admiring the beautiful scenery of the island, chasing and playing with friends, Yi Jie felt extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Passing by a red brick house, Yi Jie smelled a strange and pungent odor, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"What's that smell? It's so awful." Li Beibei pinched her nose.

"It must be Uncle Huang melting the glue. The tires on his slide are all discarded and need to be repaired. Uncle Huang is a good person and usually gives food and drinks to the islanders. Besides, the island is large and far away. As long as you don't get close, you can't smell it. No one will gossip about it. It's just business, there's nothing we can do about it."

Molten rubber, is this the smell of molten rubber? Yi Jie suppressed her nausea and drove along this road at high speed, and then she felt better.
