“Shinta make the baby shut up!”
“Can’t you see I’m trying
Ninamori!”
And
he was, but the baby was obviously hungry and the crying couldn’t be helped
while Sue-Sue was asleep. Sue-Sue had been asleep in the next cabin since
they’d left. She needed her rest though. I don’t want the crying to wake her,
Shinta thought.
“And
another thing Shinta, why are you taking us to Surubami! Don’t you think you’d
have better luck finding work in Shandong or Wuxi?”
Shinta didn’t reply. Why Sue-Sue
had insisted on bringing her sister was beyond him. She could rot on that toxic
farm for all he cared. He was getting Sue-Sue and the baby out.
“If you thought that at the station
Ninamori then why did you even come?”
Ninamori’s face went indignant and
was about to burst into argument but then, as quickly as she’d gone sour, she
thought better of it and did her best to ignore Shinta.
They’d been on the train for over
three hours and were all starting to get edgy.
