At this time, the green trains were quite chaotic and disorganized, with the smells of sweat, feet, and various foods permeating the air.

Xin Yi wanted to cover her mouth and nose, but she was afraid that others would say she was pretending, so she had no choice but to hold her breath.

Finally, once the train started moving, the airflow slightly reduced the unpleasant smell.

This train carriage was full of young people, men and women, most likely educated youth going to Heicheng to support rural development.

Not long after the train started moving, a well-dressed young man suddenly stood up and called out, “Comrades, we must all be educated youth going to Heicheng to work in the countryside, right? Let’s introduce ourselves first, get to know each other, and help each other in building the countryside together. My name is Yang Jun, and I’m from Chuancheng!”

Upon hearing the name Chuancheng, the women who had been gazing at Yang Jun with affection quickly averted their eyes. Chuancheng was no pleasant place at this time!

Perhaps it was Yang Jun's enthusiasm that infected everyone, and they all took the initiative to introduce themselves. Some of the bolder men even directly stated their age, height, and weight, which drew a lot of teasing from the crowd.

When it was Xin Yi's turn, Mei Zhi slowly stood up and introduced herself in a soft voice: "Hello everyone, my name is Mei Zhi, and this is my cousin Xin Yi. We are both from Chongqing. My cousin has been pampered since childhood and was even trafficked by human traffickers. Please be understanding and forgiving towards her in the future!"

After hearing this introduction, the people around whispered among themselves and looked at Xin Yi in unison. Some felt sympathy, while others were gloating, not only because of her misfortune, but also because she had such a cousin.

Xin Yi was the type to settle scores on the spot. She stood up, grabbed Mei Zhi, and slapped her twice. "That'll teach you to be so foul-mouthed!"

The two slaps stunned Mei Zhi. Covering her face, she asked pitifully, "Sister Yiyi, how could you hit me? Isn't what I said true? There's no use in you trying to cover it up. Everyone will find out sooner or later. It's better to make things clear now so that people won't use this against you later!"

Thinking that she wouldn't give this green tea bitch a chance to spew nonsense, Xin Yi directly and forcefully suppressed her, forcing her back to her seat, and said loudly: "Hello everyone, my name is Xin Yi. First of all, let me clarify that I have no blood relation with this Comrade Mei Zhi. Oh, my stepmother is her aunt. Her biological parents both died during her time in the countryside because of their mistakes, so she came to live with my family!"

As soon as Xin Yi opened her mouth, Mei Zhi panicked. Although she didn't know why Xin Yi's personality had changed so drastically, she knew that if Xin Yi continued talking, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Mei Zhi struggled to stand up and stop Xin Yi from continuing, but was firmly held down by the other party. She could only cover her face with her hands and sob continuously. This scene made several men present feel sorry for her.

"Comrade Xin Yi, let's talk this out. You've gone too far by hitting me and forcibly suppressing me!"

Seeing someone speak up, the others chimed in, "That's right, by that logic, she's your cousin too. This kind of behavior is inappropriate!"

Xin Yi completely ignored these scoundrels and continued, "Do you know why she was so eager to stop me from continuing? It's because she was afraid everyone would find out her true colors. Since she came to my house, all she's done is sow discord, causing our family of four to drift apart. Luckily, I saw through her true nature in time!"

At this point, Xin Yi looked at Mei Zhi again, "As for my being trafficked, are you sure you want me to continue?"

With tears in her eyes, Mei Zhi pleaded, "Sister Yiyi..."

"speak nicely!"

Mei Zhi sniffed, "Comrade Xin Yi, I apologize. I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart!"

After saying that, she buried her head under the table and cried heartbrokenly.

Xin Yi bent down and whispered, "Remember, I'll let you off this time for my mother's sake. But if you provoke me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing Xin Yi's words, Mei Zhi quickly raised her head, bit her lip, and nodded in agreement.

Li Bailian, who was sitting opposite Xin Yi, had witnessed the two's subtle interactions the whole time. Seeing that Xin Yi was unwilling to continue, she added fuel to the fire, "Xin Yi, what exactly happened? Everyone is waiting for you to continue. Could something bad have happened that you're finding hard to talk about?"

After saying that, he deliberately raised his eyebrows and looked at Xin Yi provocatively.

Xin Yi pretended to move her hands, and Li Bailian moved closer to Tang He in fear. Tang He also sensed his cousin's fear and opened his arms to shield her behind him.

"Tch, coward! If you don't understand, you can go home and ask your parents. I'm not going to put up with you!"

In fact, regardless of whether anything has happened, such an incident is a great damage to a woman's reputation. It is inappropriate for Li Bailian, who is also a woman, to deliberately reopen old wounds.

Just when everyone thought Xin Yi had something else to say, a woman quickly stood up, smiled and gestured to Xin Yi. After Xin Yi quietly sat down, she spoke: "Hello everyone, my name is Fang Yi, I'm from Beijing, and this is my boyfriend, Wu Lei. Please take good care of me!"

Someone asked in confusion, "Comrade Fang, Beijing is so far from Chongqing, why did you start from here?"

Wu Lei stood up and cleared his throat. "Fang Yi and I went to Chongqing to visit my grandmother. Due to time constraints, we set off directly from Chongqing!"

Since sitting down, Xin Yi had been observing Fang Yi. She seemed to be a kind person, but her boyfriend seemed a bit unreliable. She secretly made up her mind that if Wu Lei dared to do anything to betray Fang Yi, she would definitely intervene.

After everyone had introduced themselves, they had a basic understanding of each other.

The absent-minded Xin Yi didn't remember many people. Besides the two siblings sitting opposite her, Fang Yi and Wu Lei, there was also Han Bing, a girl from Qiancheng who was sweet-looking, lively and cute, and Lu Jun, a big fat guy from Diancheng.

After brief self-introductions, the people sitting close together started chatting noisily, with occasional laughter and playful banter. Except for Xin Yi, everyone remained quiet, no one wanting to speak first.

Perhaps unable to resist any longer, the chubby girl sitting by the aisle spoke up, "My name is Liu Mengting, let me introduce you to the delicious food of Chuancheng!"

The chubby girl thought someone would support her, but after waiting for a while and seeing no one speak, she could only look at the man opposite her.

The man felt the chubby girl's gaze and had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "My name is Feng Xing, and I'm from Suzhou. Although I can't handle spicy food very well, I've long admired Sichuan cuisine. So, I'd like to ask Comrade Liu to introduce it to us!"

Having received a satisfactory answer, the chubby girl smiled and nodded, "Sure, sure!"
