After lunch, Granny Zhou stared at Chang Shuying drawing for a while longer before yawning, feeling sleepy, and waving her hand to shoo her away.

"Go back now, come back next Sunday, and I'll take you to choose a house site then!"

After leaving Zhoujia Village, Zhou Hongyu gave instructions to her two daughters.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, understand?"

"Okay, Mom!"

Zhou Hongyu nodded.

Back in the city, they first went to the dried goods store to return the tricycle. Zhou's cousin and his wife went out to deliver goods, while Zhou Hongyu handed the dried fruit she had brought back from her parents' home to the children who were minding the store.

These were all sent back by her sister from the Northwest; she had taken quite a bit from her parents' home.

"Aunt..."

The children minding the shop realized what was happening and chased after her to the door with a large bag. Zhou Hongyu grabbed her two daughters and ran away quickly.

Sigh, it's hard not to be an arrogant and domineering person. All the polite formalities and sneaking around make you look like a thief.

In a hurry to get rid of Zhou's cousin's children, I took a side road that I don't usually take when I returned to Shuangdong Hutong.

"Little girl, you're really handsome. Let's be friends. You can call me Little Guai from now on. I live in Shuangdong Hutong. I have two yuan of pocket money every month. If you become my boyfriend, you can have all of that two yuan..."

The sleazy voice made Zhou Hongyu look up immediately.

Fifty meters ahead, Liu Xiaoguai, the eldest grandson of Granny Liu, who lives in the courtyard opposite the Chang family's house, sauntered over to a female high school student in a school uniform.

"Liu Xiaoguai, you dare to bully this pretty lady! I, Chang Meiying, will uphold justice on behalf of Heaven!"

Suddenly, Chang Meiying flew out.

Chang Shuying quickly went after them.

Can you tell she's a pretty woman just by looking at her back?

Zhou Hongyu didn't understand, but she followed along.

"Ah! Chang Meiying and Second Aunt Chang!"

Liu Xiaoguai, who was arrogantly blocking the road and stopping the woman, screamed and rode away on his bicycle.

"Stop right there..."

"Alright, Mei Ying, let's take a look at this lady's condition first."

Chang Shuying stopped her younger sister, who was excitedly waving her fist and trying to chase after her.

"Sister, are you alright?" Chang Shuying asked with concern.

Ke Qiao shook his head, looking at the two young girls in front of him who had chased away the thugs, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had been learning martial arts since elementary school, she did not want to become famous for her martial prowess in driving away hooligans in Shuangdong Hutong, a place that held special significance for her.

After all, Shuangdong Hutong is home to...

Two blushes appeared on Keqiao's face.

"Mom, if I see Liu Xiaoguai again, I'm going to teach that guy a lesson!" Chang Meiying is the class monitor handpicked by the teacher of the Yuhong Class. All twenty-odd students in the class rely on Sister Meiying for protection, which has led to her recently bursting with a sense of justice.

As for Liu Xiaoguai, he steals chickens, cats, and dogs. He's sneaky and has bad intentions, but not many. He's a notorious coward in Shuangdong Hutong. Even five-year-old Chang Meiying isn't afraid of him.

Chang Shuying was worried that Chang Meiying would frighten the beautiful older sister who was still traumatized from being stopped by hooligans, so she held down the younger sister who was yelling that she wanted to go and settle scores with Liu Xiaoguai.

Chang Shuying tried to put on a friendly smile: "Sister, do you need us to help you inform your family?"

"Forehead……"

How do I answer that?

Did you lie to those two kind little sisters?

Ke Qiao dared not let her family know that as a second-year high school student, she not only did not study hard, but also encountered hooligans because she ran around everywhere.

Keqiao's father is a famous translator, and Keqiao's mother is a senior executive in a foreign company. Keqiao is the only child in the family and has been given high hopes since childhood, with the expectation that she will become a diplomat when she grows up. She is currently studying at one of the best middle schools in Beijing.

He was in the same class as Chang Rihui.

"Keqiao?" Zhou Hongyu approached and was startled when she saw the unlucky guy who had been blocked by Liu Xiaoguai.

That's it! That's it!

Ke Qiao was puzzled for a moment: "Auntie, do you know me?"

How could I not recognize you!

Chang Rihui, that bastard, was heartbroken and left his beloved far away!

Zhou Hongyu felt her heart beating extremely fast.

Chang Meiying took the pretty woman's hand and, in a very familiar manner, invited her to come to her house for a visit.

"Sister, come on over! We have a big yard where you can run around. I also have lots of toys to share with you!"

Chang Shuying's fondness for the beautiful woman in front of her grew even stronger, and she nodded frantically in agreement.

Ke Qiao, holding a little girl's hand in one hand, looked at Zhou Hongyu and asked, "Auntie, can I go to your house?"

Exquisite features, fair skin, and a bright, confident, and radiant smile.

“Okay, okay…” Zhou Hongyu nodded blankly.

Ke Qiao was pulled along by two little girls, while Zhou Hongyu walked slowly behind, her thoughts filled with emotion.

In her dream, she first met Keqiao five years later. Chang Rihui was speeding in a luxury car on a mountain road when he had an accident and was rushed to the hospital. He suffered dozens of fractures all over his body. Keqiao was her biological mother, her confidante, and her white moonlight.

At the first meeting of the three leaders, she and Ke Qiao were utterly defeated by Yang Yingzi.

The pretty girl ran away from the ward heartbroken and secretly hid in a corner of the parking lot to cry, where she was spotted by Zhou Hongyu, who was in liver pain from anger over her son.

There was an inescapable sense of brokenness in his eyes.

Chang Rihui is not good enough for Keqiao!

The white moonlight was heartbroken and left for another place. He deserved it; he brought it on himself!

"Sister, what are you doing in Shuangdong Hutong? Are you going to buy Wang Dong's tofu pudding too? Let me tell you, their food is absolutely awful! Don't get ripped off and waste your money!" Chang Meiying was particularly talkative.

"No, I'm here to see a classmate." Ke Qiao smiled.

“A classmate? Sister Keqiao, I’m in my first year of high school. Which school do you go to?” Chang Shuying couldn’t help but ask.
