Chapter 1276 Truly Shameless
The next morning, she went to wait on the road that Xiao's father always took to work. When she saw him riding his bicycle from afar, she called out, "Dad."
Upon seeing Chu Xue, Xiao's father quickly applied the brakes: "Chu Xue, what are you doing here?"
Chu Xue was carrying a bag: "I'm going back to the military family compound today. I'll catch the bus in a bit. I came here to ask when you're going back to the village to harvest honey. I'd like to go back with you."
She hadn't been back to the village for a long time, and the food she had left for the Kang family should have been gone long ago. She didn't want Xiao's father to be involved in this matter too much, so she still had to go back herself.
Mr. Xiao thought for a moment and said, "How about we go back next weekend? Your mother has mentioned it several times. This way, your sister and Chunxiao won't have to ask for leave, and your brother can go out and see the world. We can also tidy up the house when we get back."
Chu Xue nodded gently: "Okay, as long as you've discussed it, I'll be back on Saturday afternoon."
Mr. Xiao was rushing to work, and Chu Xue was catching her train. They exchanged a few more words and then parted ways.
After changing buses, I boarded a shuttle bus heading to the military base. Unexpectedly, I ran into Instructor Guo's wife, who had just gotten married a few days ago: "Sister-in-law, are you going back to the family compound too?"
Wang Sangyu had actually recognized Chu Xue a long time ago. He smiled and patted the seat next to him, saying, "Sister-in-law, sit here. Why are you at the family compound today too?"
Chu Xue didn't hide the fact that she had resigned. After all, she would be living in the family compound from now on, so it was better to say it openly than to let everyone speculate in private: "Sister-in-law, I've transferred my job and will be living in the family compound from now on."
Wang Sangyu had heard her husband mention Fu, the battalion commander's wife, before, but she didn't expect that such a good job would be transferred so easily. But it was someone else's business, so even if she felt it was a pity, she couldn't say much: "It's good that way. Battalion Commander Fu must be overjoyed. I've heard my husband, Lao Guo, say that Battalion Commander Fu talks about his wife all the time. It's obvious that he adores you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xue didn't feel particularly embarrassed. However, an elderly woman sitting behind her spoke up, saying, "How shameless!"
Wang Sangyu turned around and glared at the old woman: "Who are you calling shameless?"
The old woman saw that Wang Sangyu still dared to question her: "I'm talking about you, you jinx."
Wang Sangyu stood up abruptly: "Say it again."
Just as things were about to escalate, a woman diagonally opposite her stood up and said, "Aunt Wen, that's not right of you. Sang Yu is now married into the military family compound, and her husband is an officer. It's inappropriate for you to say things like she's a jinx to her husband."
Everyone knows that Aunt Wen is doing this on purpose. She wanted Sang Yu to marry her good-for-nothing nephew before, but Sang Yu refused. She's just deliberately picking a fight.
Just as the old woman was about to say something, she heard the ticket seller at the door coldly shout, "If you make any more noise, you're off the bus."
The old lady finally calmed down.
Wang Sangyu didn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all, she had just married a soldier, and if things escalated, she was afraid it would affect her husband: "Auntie, I advise you to watch your mouth in the future, don't think I'm easy to bully."
After saying that, he smiled and nodded at the person who had spoken up for him, sat back down in his seat, and whispered to Chuxue, "I'm sorry for making you laugh, sister-in-law."
Chu Xue gently shook her head and whispered, "There's no need to lower yourself to the level of someone like that."
Although this matter has nothing to do with her directly, the woman behind her made her unhappy, so the consequence is naturally that she will be given a small lesson later, just to teach her a lesson.
