1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 377 How can you be so ungrateful?

The old men knew she had important business to attend to; after all, it was terribly hot, and if she delayed any longer, the fish would go bad.

However, before leaving, Grandpa Xiao left Chu Xue a specific address: "If you encounter any problems that you can't solve in the future, you can come to this address to find me."

Chu Xue was genuinely touched that Old Master Xiao treated her with such sincerity despite their brief encounter. She said, "Thank you."

She didn't know what else to say. Although she didn't know the old men very well, she knew that they were not ordinary people.

After they left, Chu Xue quickly tidied up, folded the fishing net, and carried the bag of fish to the bus stop. By the time she boarded the bus, the water in the bag had mostly drained.

Luckily, the car came just as she stood still.

But after she got on the bus, people kept glancing in her direction, and one woman even frowned and said, "Why does it smell so fishy?"

Since Chuxue was in the wrong, she couldn't say anything.

The woman persisted, saying, "Hey, I'm talking to you! What's in that bag of yours?"

Chu Xue frowned slightly: "Didn't you smell it? Why are you asking?"

"How can you be so selfish? This is a public bus. You brought a bag of rotten fish on board. How are we supposed to ride the bus?"

Initially, I felt that I was indeed in the wrong and that it would be fine after two more stops, but this woman wouldn't let it go, and Chuxue also lost her temper: "If you don't like the environment on the bus, you don't have to sit. This is public transportation, what right do you have to tell others what to do?"

The woman probably didn't expect Chu Xue to talk back. She stood up and pointed at Chu Xue, saying, "What kind of attitude is this? You're bothering others and you won't let them speak?"

Just then, the car jolted, and the woman lost her balance, lurching forward and landing headfirst on the bag of fish.

A woman screamed, "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Chu Xue quickly covered her ears, thinking: "She really went looking for trouble. Now look what happened!"

Because the fish had only been pulled from the water recently, some were still moving, and the woman screamed incessantly when she felt it.

The scene initially surprised everyone, and some of the less-than-honest people even burst out laughing.

It was the ticket seller on the bus who couldn't bear to see it anymore and went over to help the person up: "Are you alright?"

The woman was furious and immediately snapped, "Are you blind? Can't you see how bad I am? Why are you asking such a stupid question?"

The ticket seller was stunned. She wasn't one to mince words: "I was just trying to help you, how can you be so ungrateful?"

The woman hadn't recovered yet, and upon hearing this, she blurted out without thinking, "I needed your help, stop pretending to be kind."

After saying that, he looked at Chuxue and said, "Look at the fish you brought. It made me smell like fish all over. You have to make it up to me."

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the station, Chu Xue stood up and said sarcastically, "If it weren't for my fish, your head would probably be blown to bits by now. You still want to extort compensation from me? You really dare to say that."

If you dare to touch my fish again, we'll have to call the police. I'd like to see if you can still be so arrogant.

Upon hearing that the police were to be called, the woman immediately backed down: "What's the big deal that you need to call the police? Do you think the police station is your private property?"

Chu Xue's eyes flashed with disdain: "Didn't you see 'Serve the People' written on the wall of the Public Security Bureau? No matter how big the matter is, they will handle it impartially. If you insist on taking advantage and acting innocent, then I can only call the police. After all, the urea bag I'm carrying contains live fish, and if I delay, they will spoil."

How can I seek compensation from you if you don't call the police?
