The four of them wolfed down all the food in one go. Even Hu Lili didn't care about her ladylike image anymore. Not even the soup from the bowl of wontons was left.
Wang Zhiqiang even used the last bite of steamed bun to dip up the little soup left in the plate of dried tofu.
He is really a child from a poor family, even worse than Zhang Yumei.
He was an honest and simple person, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior.
Hu Lili, on the other hand, frowned as she watched.
If there was no one else in the store, she would have wanted to just get up and leave.
On the way back, Wang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yumei helped Li Jianwen carry most of the things because they felt guilty about eating his food.
When the four of them finally returned to the village, they saw Shen Weimin wandering on the road.
After he was scolded by Wang Huilian in the morning, he stayed at his good friend's house for a while, but he always felt absent-minded.
Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I walked around the street. I didn't know what I wanted to do, I just looked towards the intersection leading to the village from time to time.
As soon as he saw Hu Lili, Shen Weimin rushed over without thinking: "Hu...Hu Zhiqing, you're back?"
Who is Li Jianwen? As soon as he saw the expression on the face of the young man in front of him when he looked at Hu Lili, he knew that he was also a pursuer of Hu Lili.
Then he turned to look at Hu Lili.
He wanted to know what Hu Lili's attitude towards this person was.
Hu Lili didn’t think so much, and called Shen Weimin sweetly: “Brother Shen, what are you doing here?”
Shen Weimin couldn't say that he was waiting for her here on purpose, so he just said perfunctorily: "No... nothing, just strolling around. It's getting late, are you going home?"
Seeing Hu Lili nodded, Shen Weimin happily went over and took the things from Hu Lili's hand: "Just right, I want to go home too! Can I hold it for you?"
Zhang Yumei watched Shen Weimin talking to Hu Lili as if the other three of them didn't exist, and she also noticed something was going on.
She couldn't help but look at Li Jianwen, and sure enough, she saw that he looked a little unhappy.
Hu Lili handed the things in her hand to Shen Weimin, turned around and said to Li Jianwen: "Thank you for treating me today, I will treat you later, don't refuse!"
Li Jianwen nodded, and walked in another direction with Wang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yumei.
Before leaving, he glanced back in the direction Hu Lili left, and just in time, Shen Weimin also looked back at him.
The moment the two men's eyes met in the air, sparks and lightning flew.
The primitive instinct of males to compete for females made them instantly regard each other as competitors.
As he turned around and walked back, Li Jianwen curled the corners of his mouth.
Although the two were competitors, Li Jianwen did not take Shen Weimin seriously.
With his country bumpkin looks, how could Hu Lili, who has lived in a big city for many years, be interested in him?
But Shen Weimin over there was very afraid of Li Jianwen.
On the way home, he couldn't help but ask Hu Lili about the trip to town: "Did that guy treat you guys to dinner?"
Hu Lili said as she walked, "What is that guy? His name is Li Jianwen, and he treated us to a meal, but it also satisfied my cravings for the past few days! I want to go out for a meal again in a few days, so I can treat him back."
Hu Lili's little mouth kept chattering, but Shen Weimin next to her suddenly felt uncomfortable, and the shame of being outdone instantly spread all over his body.
The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he felt dissatisfied with Hu Lili's behavior.
"Are you two very familiar with each other? He invited you to dinner? Does he have bad intentions?"
Hu Lili, who was walking home excitedly, suddenly stopped. Her originally happy expression faded, and she looked at Shen Weimin angrily.
"What does it have to do with you whether he invites me to dinner or not? Is it your business?"
After saying that, he snatched the things in Shen Weimin’s hand and walked quickly towards Shen’s house.
Hu Lili was very angry. Who did Shen Weimin think he was?
Did she think that just because she gave him a few nice looks, she could tell her what to do?
A toad in a well was given some moonlight, and it really thought it was a golden toad?
Seeing Hu Lili's pretty face full of frost, Shen Weimin also knew that his words just now had crossed the line, and hurriedly chased after her to apologize.
"You...you misunderstood. I...I was just afraid that you would be cheated. That guy is obviously a gigolo. He has so much money that he doesn't even know his last name. You must not be fooled!"
Hu Lili suddenly turned around and retorted to Shen Weimin: “I don’t know whether he cheated me or not, I only know that he treated me to delicious food, and he took the ticket and spent money.”
"Your mother cooked some food for me, but she either asked for money or said something veiled to me. I can still tell who is good and who is bad."
"I beg you to put yourself in your proper place and stop meddling in other people's business!"
Hu Lili's words were particularly impolite, causing Shen Weimin, who was trying to save face, to blush.
Isn't what Hu Lili implied that her family's conditions are not as good as Li Jianwen's?
As the eldest grandson of the Shen family, Shen Weimin has always been loved by everyone. Except for Shen Siyue, he has never been bullied like this.
Feeling ashamed, Shen Weimin wanted to leave Hu Lili alone, but also wanted to catch up with her and say a few good words to her.
In just a moment of hesitation, the two of them arrived at the door of the Shen family.
Hu Lili ran straight to the west room angrily.
With the sound of the door closing slamming, Li Xiang hurried downstairs to take a look.
She is now on a mission and has to keep an eye on Hu Lili's movements at all times.
Listening to the sound of the door closing just now, it seems that Hu Zhiqing is angry?
She was just about to go to the west room to see what was going on when she saw Shen Weimin, who had followed closely behind her, also looking angry.
After all, Li Xiang has been married for decades, so she is no stranger to the quarrels between young people.
Especially since the sister-in-law had cried because of Shen Weimin before, it was hard for her not to know that Shen Weimin liked Hu Lili.
Li Xiang was just about to ask Shen Weimin what happened to Hu Zhiqing, when she saw Shen Weimin pouting and walking into the house as if he hadn't seen her.
Li Xiang looked at the empty outer room and felt a little at a loss for a moment.
Finally, he carefully lifted the curtain of the west room, poked his head in and asked Hu Lili: "Hu Zhiqing, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Hu Lili was angry and spoke in a bad tone: "I won't eat it anymore. This and that cost money. How can I afford it?"
Li Xiang was a little embarrassed by what she said, so she had to quickly explain: "No money, no money, it's just a matter of convenience, don't worry, it's free."
Looking at Li Xiang's honest appearance, Hu Lili waved her hands irritably: "I've already eaten, don't bother me."
Li Xiang nodded: "Oh, well, you should take a rest first. You must be very tired after walking such a long way to the town. Do you want some water? I'll pour you some hot water to warm you up."
Li Xiang's humble attitude made Hu Lili feel a little uncomfortable to keep throwing a tantrum: "Then pour me a bowl of hot water. I'm thirsty!"
