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

Xin Yi then noticed that they had brought two large bags of luggage, which should contain some production supplies, as well as baby diapers and other items.

Old Zhang helped his wife out of the car. "Uncle Liu, thank you for your trouble. You can go back now!"

"Then I'll be going now, old man. Guihua, you'll definitely have a safe delivery, don't worry!"

"Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

"Xin Zhiqing, I'm leaving now. Take good care of Guihua!"

"understood!"

Xin Yi only brought one suitcase herself, and was about to help carry a bag, but Zhang Lao Er refused.

"Xinyi, leave the heavy lifting to me. Give me your suitcase too, and help me support your sister-in-law!"

As Zhang Lao Er spoke, he slung one bundle over his shoulder, held the other in his arms, and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give it to me!"

"No need for that, I can carry it myself!"

"You also need to help me take care of the osmanthus, and it's inconvenient for you to be carrying things in your hands!"

Xin Yi thought about it and agreed, so she handed the box to Zhang Lao Er and helped Wu Guihua to the back of the line.

Before long, people started boarding. Xin Yi carefully counted the people in front of her; there were 15. The bus had 16 seats, so there was still one seat left for Wu Guihua. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Guihua was somewhat lucky. If there had been no seats available, the baby would have been born on the bus, and whether it would have survived was another matter entirely.

In this era, most people were honest and law-abiding, and they boarded the train one by one in order. Just as Xin Yi helped Wu Guihua board the train, Zhang Laifu, carrying his luggage, moved a little slower.

All that could be heard was a loud, boisterous voice, "Make way, I need to get on the bus! Get out of my way!"

It turned out to be an old woman who grabbed Zhang Lao Er's luggage and pulled him to the side, causing Zhang Lao Er to stumble and almost fall.

Zhang Lao Er quickly steadied himself and turned around to see an old woman with gray hair. He didn't dare to say anything, but the old woman, despite her age, was quite strong.

The old woman didn't care what Zhang Lao Er did. She quickly climbed onto the car, muttering to herself, "How old are you? So rude! Don't you know how to respect your elders? Do I have to do it myself?"

Zhang Lao Er clearly heard the old woman's words, but he had encountered many unreasonable old women like her before, so he decided to avoid trouble and endured it. He then climbed onto the car, only to witness a scene that infuriated him.

The old woman climbed onto the bus, cursing and swearing. She glanced around and saw Xin Yi helping Wu Guihua get into the last empty seat. She rushed over, pulled Wu Guihua away, and plopped down in her seat.

"Do you even know what respecting the elderly and caring for the young means? You saw me get on the bus and you pretended not to see me? Whose good-for-nothing is so clueless? Look at that big belly, she must be pregnant. I wonder which man she seduced. Pah, vixen, the baby in her belly is definitely a good-for-nothing!"

In her panic, Wu Guihua grabbed Xin Yi's hand and managed to regain her balance. Before she could react, Zhang Lao Er, who had just boarded the bus, saw this scene and was so nervous he almost went crazy. He threw his luggage onto the bus and rushed over to Wu Guihua, looking her up and down.

"Honey, how are you? Are you alright?"

Wu Guihua gently stroked her belly, as if comforting the baby inside, "It's alright, thank goodness for Xinyi, otherwise it would have been dangerous!"

After confirming that Wu Guihua was alright, Zhang Lao Er looked at the old woman sitting calmly in her seat.

"Old woman, you almost pulled me down just now, and I won't hold it against you. But I didn't expect you to dare to mess with my wife? You even fought with her, a pregnant woman who is about to give birth, for a seat and almost made her fall. Don't you have any conscience?"

He's a typical straight man, he doesn't know how to curse, and the other person was an old woman, so he was even more at a loss for words.

Xin Yi saw that Zhang Lao Er's words had no effect; the hateful old woman seemed not to hear him at all and completely ignored him.

A surge of anger rose within him, and he grabbed the old woman by the shoulder, lifted her up, and threw her aside.

Caught off guard, the old woman fell to the ground, seemingly still reeling. She stood there stunned for a few seconds before screaming, "Murder! Murder! God, send down lightning to strike this good-for-nothing! Everyone, come and see! They just threw an old woman like me to the ground! They're trying to kill me!"

"Shut up!"

For some reason, the old woman inexplicably shut her mouth, but she immediately realized what was happening and pointed at Xin Yi, cursing, "Look, look at this bitch! She won't even let me complain! Where did this female bandit come from? Help! It seems I'm not going to live! You must report this to the police and make this female bandit go to jail, no, make her eat peanuts!"

Xin Yi bent down, looked at the old woman, and felt a surge of anger.

"You old geezer, calling the police? Perfect, I'm going to call the police too. You almost made my sister-in-law fall just now. She's about to give birth. If you had made her fall, it could have resulted in both her and her unborn child dying. Can you afford to pay for that?"

Xin Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "Eating peanuts is too lenient for you. This is premeditated murder. You should be paraded through the streets so everyone can see your true colors. Your neighbors, friends, relatives, and family will all know what a vicious old woman you are. Your descendants will never be able to join the army again and will have to endure the condemnation of thousands. Only then will you be allowed to eat peanuts, leaving a lasting stain on your reputation. Even after you die, people will spit on your grave and dig up your bones to expose them to the sun!"

Wu Guihua tugged at Xin Yi's clothes, signaling her to say less. Zhang Lao Er, on the other hand, looked at Xin Yi with admiration and said in agreement, "Xin Yi, you stay here and watch over this vicious old woman. I'm going to call the police right now!"

She was about to get off the bus when this happened. The old woman sitting on the ground quickly got up, pointed at Xin Yi, and wanted to scold her, but she was afraid of being arrested, so she just said "You just wait" and immediately ran off the bus.

"Don't run! If you're so tough, wait for the police to come! Don't run!"

Upon hearing Xin Yi's words, the old woman ran even faster, as if a dog was chasing her, and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing the old woman's embarrassed appearance, Xin Yi finally felt relieved. She helped Wu Guihua to sit down. Wu Guihua smiled helplessly. It was hard to believe that this usually quiet girl could be so skillful when facing such a scoundrel.

"Sister-in-law, you'd better hold on tight. Luckily you're alright, otherwise I would have made that old woman pay the price!"

Seemingly noticing the strange looks he was getting from the other passengers, he could only manage an awkward laugh. "Hehe, sorry to have kept everyone waiting. Driver, you can start now!"

As the bus departed, the other passengers smiled and said it wouldn't delay them, but their expressions were rather intriguing.
