Meng Shuyun and Su Xiuju got up very early today, and even though they were busy, they didn't forget to practice a set of boxing before setting off.

After having breakfast, I hurried to the grain station because there was a bit too much grain to collect today.

"The earlier we set off, the sooner we can finish the grain collection."

Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Su Xiuju suggested, "Mom, let me ride the bike. I can manage."

Meng Shuyun's steps were light and powerful, showing no signs of fatigue. She jokingly said with a smile, "With your small frame, you weigh less than 100 pounds."

"I could carry a sack of grain that weighs more than you; a gust of wind would probably blow you into the sky."

Su Xiuju blushed slightly upon hearing this.

Su Xiuju blushed. She had gained a lot of weight since she came back, and she drank milk every day to supplement it. The food at home was also much better than before.

She would eat meat every other day, and fish the day after that. Her meals were different almost every day for a week, with different ways to nourish her body.

"Mom, I really can do it, let me do it."

As soon as Su Xiuju finished speaking, Meng Shuyun stopped the car. Just when she thought her mother had agreed, she noticed that four or five boys were surrounding a beautiful girl not far ahead.

Wearing a light pink dress, the exquisite fabric and style clearly indicated it was expensive, and her wavy hair made her look fashionable and chic.

This girl is the one from the train station! She was very beautiful, Su Xiuju remembered her vividly.

Meng Shuyun's gaze, however, fell on the motorcycle next to the girl. Its brand-new body was shiny and clean, without a speck of dust.

It's quite rare to see a motorcycle here these days; this girl clearly comes from a wealthy family and has connections.

Motorcycles won't become popular in the area for several more years, and even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy one easily.

"Miaomiao, you ride in my car first, I'll take you to town to find a mechanic."

One of the boys, wearing a floral shirt, suggested, "Let my brother watch the car here. If things go smoothly, it can be done in an hour."

Zhang Miaomiao frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy: "Let's try again. If it really doesn't work, this is the only way."

Meng Shuyun saw all of this clearly. She noticed that although the boys were not poorly dressed, the way they looked at the girl revealed ulterior motives and scheming.

Such a beautiful girl, brought to this godforsaken place, their intentions are self-evident.

Meng Shuyun gently patted the girl's shoulder and said with a kind smile, "Miss, I can fix your car. Shall I give it a try?"

The sudden sound startled everyone.

"Who are you? We don't know you, why should we let you fix our car?"

One of the boys immediately became agitated, "Do you know how much this motorcycle is worth? Have you even seen one before? You dare to say you can fix it! Can you afford to pay for it if you break it?"

Zhang Miaomiao looked closely and saw that it was the old lady who had helped her at the train station. She was holding Meng Shuyun's hand, her voice earnest with a hint of suppressed trembling.

"Auntie, you said you can fix cars, is that true?"

I hope what she said is true. The way those people were looking at me made me very uncomfortable. I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that my car would not start halfway there.

The boy in the floral shirt was named Xu Jing. He looked at Meng Shuyun with displeasure, his eyes carrying a clear warning.

"Auntie, I advise you not to be stubborn. This motorcycle is not something a country woman like you can fix. Even experienced mechanics from the city wouldn't dare to guarantee its repair."

This is an imported car. If you damage it, you'll have to pay five thousand yuan in compensation.

Before you start repairing your car, you'd better think carefully: can it really be fixed?

Su Xiuju quickly stepped forward, grabbed Meng Shuyun's arm, took a few steps back, and said with a worried expression, "Mother, let's not worry about them, we still have to go and collect the grain."

"This car is so valuable; if it's damaged, it'll cost five thousand yuan to pay for it. We can't afford that."

Meng Shuyun gently patted Su Xiuju's hand, reassuring her, "Don't worry, Mother will fix it. It's not safe for this girl to be here alone. If she goes with them, who knows where she'll be taken?"

After listening to her mother's words, Su Xiuju understood her intention. Looking at the boys, she saw that their eyes were full of dissatisfaction and warning as they looked at her and her mother.

"Mom, the village isn't far from here. How about we ride our bikes back to get help? Will we make it in time?"

Suppressing her fear, Zhang Miaomiao yelled at the group, "Why are you being so aggressive! The old lady meant well, she didn't break it, why should she pay for it! It's just a car, what's the big deal!"

"Miaomiao is right, it's all my fault, I apologize to Auntie."

Xu Jing seized the opportunity to grab Zhang Miaomiao's wrist and walked towards the motorcycle. "You still need a professional to fix the car. Don't worry about my driving skills. I'll be back in half an hour."

Meng Shuyun quickly grabbed Zhang Miaomiao's other hand, separated the two with a chop to the neck, and protected the girl behind her.

"Young man, I told you I could fix this car, why don't you believe me? What are you worried about? It's not like you have to pay for it."

Xu Jing's plans were repeatedly interrupted, which made him extremely unhappy, but seeing the wariness in Zhang Miaomiao's eyes, he could only give up for the time being. "Fine, fine, you're amazing. I'll wait and see."

Meng Shuyun naturally understood the threat in his words, but ignored it and instead said to Zhang Miaomiao, "I can fix your car in a minute, but I have one condition."

Zhang Miaomiao looked at Xu Jing and his three companions, who were eyeing her menacingly, her face turning pale with nervousness. In this remote place, the motorcycle had to break down.

As long as the car is fixed, she'll agree to any request, let alone just one.

There were so many of them; what if she caused trouble for the old lady? Thinking this to herself, her eyes reddened.
