Only after Grandma Zhou and Ruoruo finished washing up and sat down at the dining table did Li Mu let Zhou Qiang eat.

Seeing that Zhou Qiang was still wearing the clothes he wore last night, he said with some disdain, "You really went back with that woman last night? Do you want to die?"

"How long have we known each other? How can she be a good woman if she lets you go to her house?"

Zhou Qiang shook his head, but he couldn't speak as he hadn't swallowed the food in his mouth. He ate too quickly and almost choked. He quickly took the porridge and drank it, only then did he feel better.

After recovering from the shock, Zhou Qiang hurriedly explained, "No, when I chased her out yesterday, Lifang had already disappeared. I had no choice but to give up and went back to sleep alone."

"Let me tell you something, brother. Yesterday was really bloody. On my way home, I saw a little hooligan bullying a little girl, so I went over to help her, and the little girl ended up blaming me."

"I stayed with the little girl at the police station until her parents came to pick her up. We waited until morning. I am now hungry and sleepy."

After hearing what Zhou Qiang said, Li Mu's original worry about Zhou Qiang being taken advantage of finally settled down. After hearing that Zhou Qiang had bravely gone up to help last night, he hurriedly asked, "Are you not hurt?"

Grandma Zhou was also a little worried and kept looking at Zhou Qiang, wanting to see if Zhou Qiang was injured.

Feeling everyone's worry, Zhou Qiang hurriedly said, "I'm fine. With my strong body, I won't be injured by a few weak hooligans. It's lucky that they didn't get hurt by me."

...

...

Seeing Zhou Qiang like this, everyone finally felt relieved.

After breakfast, Li Mu took Zhou Qiang aside, intending to have a good chat about the future plans and to drive Zhou Qiang back to the countryside. If he didn't go back, Li Mu was afraid that Zhou Qiang would really fall into the trap of that woman Zhou Lifang.

"When are you going to go back?"

Zhou Qiang looked puzzled, frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"How many days do you plan to stay this time? Have you arranged everything about the fish pond?" Li Mu ignored Zhou Qiang's puzzled look and continued.

Hearing Li Mu's question, Zhou Qiang said vaguely: "Maybe in a few days. I have something to do recently."

Zhou Qiang thought to himself, "We must not let anyone find out. He promised Zhou Lifang that he would help her run her barber shop. Otherwise, he will be beaten to death."

Hearing that there was something wrong in Zhou Qiang's words, Li Mu said seriously: "Let's leave tomorrow. No matter what you have to do, come back. Tomorrow we should deliver loaches to the state-owned enterprise. If you are not here, who will contact Brother Shen?"

Hearing Li Mu's words, Zhou Qiang nodded reluctantly.

Li Mu, who probably knew what Zhou Qiang was thinking, said with some warning: "No matter how things are going between you and Zhou Lifang now, I'm telling you, stay away from her. She is not someone you can control. Do you understand?"

"If you want to find a wife, I'll introduce you to someone suitable."

Zhou Qiang curled his lips in dissatisfaction and wanted to argue, but when he saw Li Mu's warning look, he shut his mouth.

Seeing Zhou Qiang like this, Li Mu knew that he would definitely not accept this, so he sighed somewhat unhappily.

I took Zhou Qiang to Uncle Liu's house next door, intending to have a good talk with him about the tricycle. It was not a good idea to keep borrowing it, so I wanted to see if he could bear the pain and sell the tricycle to me.

The two brothers took some local specialties brought back from the countryside and went to Uncle Liu's yard next door.

It happened that Uncle Liu was watering the flowers. When he saw two people coming, he nodded and motioned for them to sit down first and talk after he was done.

So the two of them sat obediently in their seats and waited for Uncle Liu.

The two of them looked like little kids from the 20th century waiting for praise from their teacher. I'm afraid others would laugh out loud when they saw them.

"What are you planning to do by carrying so many things here?" Uncle Liu, who had finished his work, dusted off his hands, looked at the gifts on the table with interest, and said with a smile.

Li Mu knew that Uncle Liu was a straightforward person, so he got straight to the point and said, "Uncle, do you still want to use this tricycle? If not, can you sell it to me?"

Hearing Li Mu's tone, Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Li Mu, this tricycle is not cheap. Can you afford it now?"

"Yes, uncle, you can give me a price now. If I don't think it's too outrageous, I can give you the money now."

Li Mu nodded and said.

Uncle Liu thought about it and knew that Li Mu's family was not very wealthy, so he said, "Just give me 500. I can't use it, and it will just sit there in the yard anyway."

Knowing that the price Uncle Liu offered was already half a gift to Li Mu, Li Mu looked at Uncle Liu with some gratitude and said, "Thank you."

He took out the 1,500 yuan he had prepared from his pocket and handed it all to Uncle Liu.

Uncle Liu took the money and counted out 500 yuan, then returned the rest to Li Mu, saying, "The most important thing for a businessman is honesty. I said 500 yuan, so it's 500 yuan. I won't ask for more."

Knowing Uncle Liu's personality, Li Mu had no intention of forcing the money on Uncle Liu, so he put the remaining money into his pocket, and after thanking him, he prepared to leave.

Before I even walked out of the door, Uncle Liu called out, "Li Mu, wait a minute, the thing you asked me about has been answered, come here."

Upon hearing the result, Li Mu immediately turned around and looked at Uncle Liu, somewhat delighted.

Zhou Qiang, who was standing by, saw Li Mu like this and wanted to ask something, but was sent away by Li Mu.

On the way back, Zhou Qiang was still wondering and planned to ask Li Mu after he came back. After all, Uncle Liu didn't look like a big shot, so what could Brother Li Mu ask him to do?

After Zhou Qiang left, the atmosphere became noticeably more solemn.

"I have found out who he is. It is a coincidence that he is in Yancheng. He was transferred back not long ago and became a small cadre in the commune. I heard that something happened in the place where he was previously working, so he came here to hide."

Uncle Liu told the story that he had found out.

When Li Mu heard the words "something happened", he frowned and thought to himself, "This kid is really not a peaceful person. He always stirs up trouble wherever he goes. It seems that he is easy to deal with. I should find an opportunity to go over and test him."

After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he had been secretly observing Li Mu's reaction. Seeing Li Mu's calm reaction, he narrowed his eyes and felt a little admiration for this boy.

After a long silence, Li Mu did not continue to ask Uncle Liu anything, because he knew that it was useless to ask further, and Uncle Liu would not tell him even if he knew.

After all, not being afraid of trouble does not mean you want to cause trouble.

What's more, even if Li Mu said that he would not seek revenge for his father's murder, it did not mean that nothing would happen.
