CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 21: TEACHING A LESSON TO THE HOODLUM
"This hair loss is probably caused by a lack of energy and blood, not a big problem."
Zhou Ping looked at her excitedly after hearing this, "Comrade, do you have any good remedies?"
Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head, "I don’t have any great methods."
Upon hearing this, the light in Zhou Ping’s eyes instantly dimmed.
"But my cousin sent me an anti-hair loss shampoo from Hong Kong, it’s very effective."
Zhou Ping’s eyes lit up again, seriously, can this comrade stop leaving us in suspense?
"Do you have the anti-hair loss shampoo with you? Can you sell me a few packs?"
She looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a pleading face, this was her last hope.
Recently, because of severe hair loss, even her partner started to despise her.
Su Xiaoxiao conveniently pulled out ten packets of shampoo from her bag, "These are all I have."
"Can you share half with me first? I don’t mind paying extra."
Su Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand, "This shampoo is only ten cents a pack, and your cousin gave me more money than needed. I’ll give all of these to you. If it works well, I’ll ask my cousin to send more later."
As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao directly shoved all the shampoo into Zhou Ping’s hands and slipped a dollar into her hand.
"Just take it as it is, I’m not doing business, just doing a favor."
Finished speaking, she turned to leave.
The two cousins had a very good impression of this sincere girl and insisted on inviting Su Xiaoxiao to dine at the state-run restaurant.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t resist the two sisters and had to go with them.
During the meal, she learned that the two sisters were named Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Ping.
Zhou Yuanyuan was still in high school, while Zhou Ping was already married and served as an assistant to the women’s director on the street.
After the meal, the three agreed to meet at the cinema in a month and reluctantly parted ways.
Su Xiaoxiao earned about five dollars on this trip, happily boarding the bus home.
At this time, private cars weren’t popular, and travel to distant places like the city mostly relied on public buses.
The return bus was packed with people, comparable to a train station during the modern Spring Festival travel rush.
Some were carrying large bags, others with chickens and ducks, the entire bus was tightly packed, moving even a little felt like treading through a swamp, extremely difficult.
Su Xiaoxiao felt she was like a pot sticker, pressed tightly against the bus wall.
As the bus moved, her body swayed uncontrollably left and right, plus the mixed smells of foot odor and foul odor of chickens and ducks made every minute feel like torture.
She vowed, if she had the money, she’d definitely buy a car.
While she was suffering and feeling hopeless, she suddenly locked eyes with a pair of pleading and embarrassed eyes.
It was a tall young girl, who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.
A standard oval face with delicate features, wearing a white embroidered shirt and a blue skirt.
With teary eyes, the girl looked at her pitifully, struggling to move through the crowd as if trying to avoid something.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned, noticing for the first time that a tall man was pressing closely behind the girl.
The man wore a lewd grin, with one hand unscrupulously groping the girl’s behind.
The other hand making some indecent gestures.
The sight made Su Xiaoxiao extremely uncomfortable physically.
As the bus jolted, the girl shrieked and fearfully clutched her bag strap, moving forward.
The man followed closely, his gaze landing on Su Xiaoxiao, a flash of amazement in his eyes.
Then he shamelessly pressed against the girl, his gaze teasingly fixed on Su Xiaoxiao, making her feel queasy.
The girl’s face flushed red, biting her lower lip hard, moved forward again.
But the man had no intention of letting her go, as soon as the girl moved, he immediately stuck like glue.
Su Xiaoxiao, infuriated by the scene, reached out and grabbed the girl’s wrist, pulling her into her arms.
The man’s body lost balance and instinctively lunged forward.
Seeing the two petite figures in front, his grin became even more vulgar.
However, his smile didn’t last long before he suddenly convulsed and foamed at the mouth, collapsing on the floor.
Su Xiaoxiao let out a snort of laughter, silently putting the self-defense gadget back into her bag.
She had just bought it in the mall for ten gold coins.
Noticing the shocked looks from the people around her, Su Xiaoxiao feigned surprise and shouted, "Oh no, someone’s having a seizure."
Immediately, a horde of onlookers rushed over, someone said, "He’s having an epileptic seizure, stop the bus."
You know, the symptoms of being electrocuted do resemble epilepsy somewhat.
Instantly, some enthusiastic citizens lifted the man seven hands and eight legs out of the bus.
The man, convulsing all over, pointed a laborious finger at Su Xiaoxiao, eyes wide open, but couldn’t utter a word, just watched helplessly as he was carried away.
Once the bus calmed down again, the girl sheepishly released Su Xiaoxiao’s hand, "Thanks for what you did earlier."
If Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t pulled her aside, she would still be suffering from that scumbag’s harassment.
"No worries, with scumbags like that, the more you put up with them, the more they push their luck."
While speaking, the bus had arrived at the town.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly scrambled off with her bag.
The girl anxiously called after her, "Wait, comrade, you haven’t told me your name yet?"
However, this sentence was quickly drowned out by the bus’s roar, and Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hear a thing.
She carefully felt the money in her bag and once assured it was all there, she exhaled with relief and happily walked back.
However, she hadn’t gone far before her good mood was completely ruined by someone.
Zhang Dongmei saw her from afar, looking pleased, "I’m going to take photos in town later to send to my boyfriend."
Today she wore exquisite makeup, a pink dress, and black high heels.
Overlook that pancake face of hers, and she still barely passed.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes, none of her business.
Not wanting to deal with Zhang Dongmei, she turned and walked away.
As soon as she turned around, Zhang Dongmei grabbed her wrist, "Wait a moment."
Su Xiaoxiao frowned, "You better have something important."
Zhang Dongmei ignored her unpleasant expression, setting her eyes on Su Xiaoxiao’s hair, "Where did you buy your hairbrush?"
Su Xiaoxiao: "Get lost!"
But obviously Zhang Dongmei couldn’t understand human language, "How much for your hairbrush? I’ll buy it."
For someone like Zhang Dongmei, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to engage for even a minute.
But the other was shameless, persistently grabbing her, preventing her from leaving.
Su Xiaoxiao was so exasperated that she felt out of words.
She turned around, looked at her expressionlessly, "If you want to buy, fine, just agree to one condition and I’ll sell it to you."
