Chapter 69: How Could This Possibly Have Anything to Do With Me?
Chuxue listened to the two old men bickering while she packed her things: "Master Guo, you pick first."
The two old men who were bickering reacted: "Damn, we fell for Old Man Guo’s trick. Quick, quick, we can't let him get ahead."
And just like that, the battlefield quickly shifted to the fish in the bucket.
Seeing the childish side of these old men made her feel much better: "I’m going to leave once I pack my fishing gear. If you don't choose now, I’m leaving."
Hearing this, the old men stopped arguing and quickly chose their fish.
Master Xiao was so happy his teeth were showing: "Girl, when are you coming next time?"
She had a good harvest today. Besides the tickets, with the cover of the old men, she had also exchanged for a lot of money. The money for the medical expenses was definitely enough, so next, she would start dealing with those who had harmed the original owner.
Just as she was about to say goodbye to the old men, she heard Master Guo say: "Chuxue, girl, I have to say thank you."
Liu Chuxue was a bit confused by this out-of-the-blue remark and pointed to herself: "Thank me?"
Master Guo nodded, not hiding anything: "Among the people who blocked the road yesterday, there was the son of my old comrade-in-arms. Ever since his father passed away, he’s been acting like a street hoodlum. No matter what anyone says to him, it goes in one ear and out the other."
"Yesterday, after you taught him a lesson, I didn't expect that kid to actually agree to the arrangements his family had made for him before, and he’s preparing to join the army to serve the country."
To be honest, Chuxue didn't quite believe it: "Are you mistaken? How could this possibly have anything to do with me?"
At this time, Master Xiao looked over: "Girl, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but that kid really decided to join the army because he felt he lost face by being defeated by a girl. Master Guo has to accept this favor."
Chuxue really hadn't expected such a follow-up: "If that’s really the case, it’s a good thing. The army is a big melting pot; it will definitely be able to help him turn over a new leaf."
After saying that, she felt a bit embarrassed. Was it too much to say that about someone?
She chuckled and quickly packed her things: "Masters, I’ll be going first. See you all later."
Hearing her say this, the old men couldn't help but think highly of Chuxue. Although the little girl was young, her mind was very sharp.
Master Xiao even gave a word of advice: "Be careful on the road."
But as soon as he said this, his face flashed with embarrassment, as among the people who blocked the road yesterday was that kid Lu Weijun, who was half his own family.
Liu Chuxue was carrying the bucket of fish and had just reached the hospital entrance when she ran into Kong Yizhang, who was driving out of the hospital.
Kong Yizhang didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. After parking the car, he greeted Chuxue: "Comrade Liu, what are you doing?"
Liu Chuxue pointed to the bucket: "I was thinking of adding some nutrition for my father, so I went to the moat to fish. The results were pretty good."
Thinking of how much they had helped her, she reached out and took one out of the bucket, then took a cloth bag string from her pocket—actually from her space—and threaded it through the fish’s gills: "Comrade Kong, this fish is for you to try. Thank you for helping us so much."
Kong Yizhang wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, he heard Liu Chuxue speak again: "This is a small token of my appreciation, please don't dislike it."
Since she had said that much, if he refused again, she might overthink it, so he had to get out of the car and take a cloth bag from the back: "Then thank you very much. My family will have a treat tonight." ===== CHAPTER 72 =====
