college life, just was yesterday (7)-- a story in a bus

I didn’t think it was a good city when was in college. The city is also named “ Mountain City”, “ Fog City” or “ Fire City”. All her trick names above do give people more uncomfortable feelings. So going out is a boring thing sometimes. What’s more, the city is hardly boiling in Summers, and however, it always has plenty of rain and fog in Winters. You will face the sloppy and muddy streets when you go out in winters.The city has great populations too, which leads to crowed traffic there. You may have the experience of making your way to your buses through tight people “waves”. Yes, you have to endure many unpleasant things caused by shoving. I will tell you the funny but real story happened in a bus in 1992. When the bus started, I heard the shrill voice of a lady and found immediately the she became very angry. “ God! You have spoiled my trousers.” She shouted at a stranger. “ I am terrible sorry, Madam.” The stranger responded in a gentle way. I could judge he came from Northeast China from his accent. (I name the man as Mr. X below.) “ Sorry? That is enough?” The woman sneered, “ You spoiled my trousers!” She also gave it to him in dialects. “ What on earth will you do next?” A young man asked.I learnt that a hard thing of Mr. X just stuck her trousers caused by a sudden shock of the bus and led a hole on the back. Frankly the hole was very very small. “ I want to get the compensation!” The lady announced. “ Oh, please don’t be rude to strangers, Miss Boring!” The young man said followed a blast of laugh. Mr. X said in a hurry: “ I’ll pay it! How much?” “ 50 yuan.” The lady replied immediately. “ Miss Boring, don’t be so arbitrary! It is unfair!” The young man shouted. “ It is no concern of yours! Would you pay!” the lady cried. “ I would, if you’d like to take them off!” The young man stated with a smile. “ You meant take off my trousers? That is easy.” She said around, “ Would you give me more room?” Then the woman took off her trousers with a fantastic speed. Another blast of laugh burst out. I raised my body to examine what was going on. My god! The woman had been in two pairs of trousers in very strong resemblance. She handed them to the young man and demanded: “ Money, please!” “ Money? Calm down, unmoral woman!” A voice sounded. “ The very shame of the city!!!” “ She is only worth of 50 Yuan!!!” … … … … The woman felt a great panic with the denouncements out of her expectedness. An old man made his way to the woman and said: “ Poor lady, can I just come in here? Think of the man from the Northeast did spoil your trousers, but it is only a small hole and very easy to mend it. I suggest that 2 yuan is enough. Am I right?” The lady had been in silent for a long time and the make-up face turned pale. Mr. X took out a not with RMB 5 yuan and handed to her. She backed immediately as if the ticket was a piece of hot iron. The old accepted the money and put into her pockets. The bus stopped and the woman got off it as quickly as she could. “ Miss Boring, come back please. You haven’t gotten the right stop you want!” The Young man shouted. Everyone in the bus couldn’t help laughing! When I returned to my college and tell the story to friends. They couldn’t believe it at first. About two days later, Mr. Liu showed a piece of newspaper to us where the story had been written. Everyone exclaimed after read it: “ Oh, unthinkable!”
