Chapter 1288 Chu Xiaoju's Unwillingness

Ever since Chu Xiaoju was ruthlessly kicked out that day, she felt increasingly resentful.

Chu Yunyi owes her success to the Chu family's good fortune. Now that she has climbed into a high-ranking family, she has no intention of helping them at all; she is ungrateful.

She became increasingly unwilling to accept this, and afterwards she would often wander around the military base, hoping to find an opportunity to make friends with some people so that she could marry an officer and show off in front of Yunyi.

Chu Yucheng naturally noticed her little tricks, but after several unsuccessful attempts to persuade her, he stopped paying attention to her.

When I arrived at the military family compound again that day, I saw a group of military wives coming out together and heading in one direction, so I followed them.

Listening to their conversation, I learned that there was a market day in Baiyuan Village, which is not far from the military base.

They weren't far apart to begin with, and arrived at their destination quickly.

She had already chosen her target to befriend. From what she overheard their conversation, she knew that the woman's husband was a deputy regimental commander, and the women who came with her were all flattering her.

Zhao Mifeng was quite pleased with everyone's flattery: "Everyone is free to do as you please. We'll meet back here in an hour and go back together."

After everyone dispersed, Chu Xiaoju followed her target.

She was lucky; she was just thinking about how to strike up a conversation.

Just then, a few children rushed out of the alley next door, pushing a handcart. The exit was a bit steep, and the children didn't have the strength to hold the cart back: "Excuse me, excuse me."

Just as they were about to bump into Zhao Mifeng, the wife of Deputy Regiment Commander Ding Xiangdong, Zhao Xiaoju quickly stepped forward and pulled her aside, saying, "Be careful."

The cart sped past her, and if several passersby hadn't helped, it would have crashed into a tree on the other side.

Zhao Mifeng was startled, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground. She patted her chest, and it took her a while to calm down: "Didn't you even watch your step? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

The children were also frightened. When she yelled at them, the youngest one burst into tears.

Parents who found the handcart missing in the alley rushed out upon hearing their children crying: "Oh my God, you naughty kids, are you hurt?"

One of the people who had helped hold the cart back said, "It's alright, it's alright. You were just scared. You guys are so careless. How could you let the child push the cart out like that? If something had happened, you would have regretted it to death."

Hearing this, the woman holding the child echoed, "Yes, yes, it was our oversight. Who knew that after only a short while back inside, they would be so audacious as to push the stroller out again."

After recovering, Zhao Mifeng said, "Don't just say nice things. If this girl hadn't pulled me up, I would have been knocked flying. I twisted my back, and you guys have to take responsibility."

Upon hearing this, the woman forgot all about comforting the child: "You're a perfectly normal person, how dare you try to extort money from people? You have no shame!"

The onlookers looked at Zhao Mifeng with a strange gaze, after all, she really seemed to be fine, and she had walked over from that direction, at least a few meters away.

Zhao Mifeng was furious. She had indeed twisted her back a little, but it wasn't too serious. She didn't expect that the child's parents would not only not apologize, but also falsely accuse her of trying to extort money.

She was naturally furious and was about to say something when Zhao Xiaoju, who had been looking for an opportunity, spoke up: "What's wrong with you? It was clearly your child pushing the cart that almost bumped into someone, why are you being unreasonable?"

If I hadn't noticed something was wrong and run a few steps to pull the person aside, the consequences would have been unimaginable. You can ask the people who helped pull the car away.

When Zhao Mifeng heard someone speak up for her, she was filled with gratitude: "Thank you for speaking up for me, young lady."

Chu Xiaoju smiled slightly: "I'm just telling the truth. I can't be wronged when I've been hurt."

These words struck a chord with Zhao Mifeng: "That's right. Her child almost hurt me, but now it's become my fault. I was just trying to get justice for myself, but she accused me of extortion. My husband is a deputy regimental commander in the army. Based on what you just said, I could sue you for defamation."
