The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Xin Yi asked around and found out that there were still buses to the county, with two departures a day. One bus departed at 9:30 in the morning, which was quite timely, so Xin Yi went there without any rush.

An old-fashioned minibus was already quite full. Xin Yi paid 50 cents for the ticket and found an empty spot to grab the handrail.

Before long, the car set off. Xin Yi thought the half-hour drive would be over soon, but she forgot that the roads nowadays were not the cement roads of her previous life; they were full of potholes.

The journey was shaky and bumpy. Not long after setting off, Xin Yi was so shaken that she almost threw up, and her face turned pale.

While feeling distressed, Xin Yi glanced to the side and was shocked by what she saw.

A sleazy-looking man in black reached into the pocket of an older woman next to him, seemingly grabbed something, and quickly put it into his own purse.

Before Xin Yi could stop him, she heard the man shout, "Driver, please stop! I need to get off. I need to poop, I can't hold it in anymore, hurry!"

Hearing the man's shouts, the driver said with displeasure, "We're not allowed to stop halfway. We're driving straight to the county. How can you get off halfway? Why didn't you finish these things before getting on the bus?"

When the driver refused to stop and open the door, the man said menacingly, "If you don't stop and let me out, I'll poop in the car!"

He then pretended to take off his pants.

The other passengers hurriedly shouted, "Driver, driver, open the door quickly, stop the car quickly!"

Under pressure from the crowd, the driver had no choice but to step on the brakes and stop.

As soon as the car door opened, the man tried to get out.

Xin Yi sprinted and grabbed the man's clothes. "Wait a minute."

The man, who thought he was about to get off the bus, turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xin Yi pulled hard, dragging the man back into the carriage, and shouted, "Driver, please close the door first."

The driver saw that Xin Yi was a woman and must have something to do, so he closed the car door without thinking.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the man decided to deal with Xin Yi, this meddlesome woman.

But just as he raised his hand, ready to slap Xin Yi...

Xin Yi used her superpower to punch him in the stomach. The man trembled, clutching his stomach, and knelt on the ground.

Xin Yi pulled the man's clothes, took a money bag from his pocket, and went to the old woman.

"Auntie, look, isn't this your purse?"

The woman looked at it and said, "Hmm? This purse is exactly the same as mine. Isn't my purse in my pocket?"

As he spoke, he casually reached into his pocket, only to find it empty.

The woman then realized that the man had stolen her purse.

The woman took the money bag and thanked Xinyi profusely.

"Thank you, comrade. This is my life savings. I'm going to the county to visit my daughter who is about to give birth. What would I do if this heartless bastard stole this money? When we get to the county, you must come with me to my daughter's house. I want to thank you properly!"

"It's a small matter. I can't stand these petty thieves. They're perfectly capable; wouldn't it be better for them to find a job?"

Xin Yi suddenly remembered that people with jobs in this era were paid by the state, so jobs were not as easy to find as in her previous life, so she had to change the subject.

"Even if jobs are hard to find, if you work hard on your own little plot of land, you won't go hungry. Why do something so bad? Why resort to petty theft?"

The passengers on the bus all voiced their agreement, clamoring for such a person to be arrested and brought to trial by law.

Actually, several people saw the man stealing the things, but few people were willing to get involved. It's the woman's fault for not taking good care of her belongings; she deserved to be robbed.

However, since someone has stepped forward, everyone is happy to show their sense of justice.

Xin Yi didn't want to bring these things to light, since not everyone has the ability to intervene when they see injustice.

"Driver, could you please drive directly to the county public security bureau? This is my first time in the county, and I have to take this thief with me, so it might be inconvenient."

The driver thought for a moment and replied, "I'd be happy to, but I don't know what the other passengers will think. What if I delay their time and they report me? I'll lose my job!"

Xin Yi looked at the others and asked, "What do you guys think?"

The other passengers glanced at Xin Yi, then at the thief kneeling on the ground, and could only agree, "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry!"

"Yes, if something like this happens, you should definitely report it to the police. I can testify that this thief stole something!"

"I can testify too!"

Since no one had any objections, the driver agreed.

The car continued driving. Xin Yi knew the force she had used; the thief wouldn't be able to recover for a while, so she stopped paying attention to him.

The older woman warmly grabbed Xin Yi's hand, "Comrade, come sit here!"

Xin Yi politely declined, saying, "Auntie, please sit down. I'm young, standing is fine for me!"

"Then let's squeeze in and sit for a while!"

The auntie didn't allow Xinyi to refuse and pulled her to sit down with her.

"Lady, you can call me Aunt Qin. My daughter is the wife of the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative. You can go to the county supply and marketing cooperative to buy anything in the future. I'll have my son-in-law give you a discount, and I'll reserve those good things that don't require coupons for you first!"

"Thank you, Aunt Qin. My name is Xin Yi. I'm an educated youth who came to Heicheng from the countryside. I'm going to the county to take care of some things this time. If I need anything in the future, I definitely won't be polite to you!"

When the other passengers heard that Aunt Qin had this identity, they instantly regretted not stepping forward earlier, but it was too late.

Aunt Qin chatted with Xin Yi all the way. It turned out that Aunt Qin's husband had passed away a long time ago, and she raised her daughter Hongxing alone until she graduated from junior high school. By chance, Hongxing married the director of the county supply and marketing cooperative.

Hongxing was also a filial son. He originally wanted to take Aunt Qin to the county to enjoy a better life, but Aunt Qin couldn't bear to leave the old house and the memories of her husband, so she never agreed.

This time, it was because their daughter was about to give birth, and their son-in-law's parents both had jobs, so they agreed to come and take care of their daughter during her postpartum period.

It was supposed to be a half-hour drive, but we chatted and the time passed quickly.

The driver stopped the car and shouted, "Madam, we've arrived at the police station!"

Xin Yi and her companion, who were having a lively conversation, finally stopped.

"Yiyi, I'll go to the police station with you. We need to make sure this thief gets the punishment he deserves!"

"Okay, Aunt Qin!"

After Xin Yi dragged the thief, whose body was sore and weak, off the bus with Aunt Qin, none of the passengers who had been shouting about going to the police station to testify got off.

After the car drove away, Xin Yi sighed, "Oh, Aunt Qin, let's go inside!"
