"oh."
Chen Xiu didn't think much of it and followed Ye Yurou inside.
The houses in the old town are quite old; the walls and furniture are worn, but they are kept very clean.
"Eat fruit."
Ye Yurou washed a plate of fruit and placed it in front of Chen Xiu.
"Thanks."
Chen Xiu picked up an apple, took a big bite, and then asked, "You said you were leaving Donghai City before, was it because of the house demolition?"
Previously, the Zhou family had taken over the demolition and reconstruction project in this old town area.
After Chen Xiu killed Zhou Tianpeng, the project fell to the Murong family.
Compared to the harsh conditions Zhou Tianpeng had given, Murong Shaobo did not make things difficult for the residents of the old city and offered them market prices!
Including Yang Yuxue's old house, which will also be demolished next month!
"That's part of the reason."
Ye Yurou looked longingly at everything in the house, then continued, "My father is a gambler and owes a lot of money to loan sharks... Actually, we've paid back quite a bit over the years! But the interest is snowballing too fast. So after we get this demolition compensation, we want to escape Donghai City!"
"I see."
Chen Xiu took another bite of the apple without saying a word.
The atmosphere quieted down.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Yurou went to the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook.
Chen Xiu sat on the sofa, watching Ye Yurou busy in the kitchen.
Ye Yurou was wearing a pink apron, her hair tied up high. She was washing and chopping vegetables with great skill, and her gentle and serious demeanor made her look just like a young wife cooking for her husband.
Chen Xiu got up to help, but Ye Yurou pushed him out again, saying, "Go sit outside for a while, I can handle this by myself!"
An hour and a half later.
One fragrant dish after another was served on the table.
There were six dishes in total, including both meat and vegetarian options.
Chen Xiu picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and put it in his mouth, praising, "I didn't expect you to have such good cooking skills, comparable to Aunt Xue's!"
"If you like it, eat more... It's a pity I didn't have the courage to confess my feelings sooner, otherwise I could have treated you to a few more meals!"
Ye Yurou forced a smile and said.
"The stir-fried pork is also delicious."
Chen Xiu tasted every dish and praised them all highly. Then he asked, "Do you like staying in Donghai City?"
"I like it... After all, it's the place I've lived for twenty years... And, there's someone I like in Donghai City..."
After saying that, Ye Yurou blushed again. She picked up half a chili pepper and put it in her mouth. "Hiss, it's a little spicy!"
"Since you prefer to stay in Donghai City, I'll take care of the loan shark issue for you!"
Chen Xiu ate heartily, saying between bites, "I can't just eat your food for free. After I'm full, you take me to see that loan shark!"
"this……"
Ye Yurou was surprised that Chen Xiu would choose to help her again. Her hand trembled with excitement, and the food on her chopsticks fell back into the plate.
Let's eat!
Chen Xiu continued to work at the gate.
Ye Yurou nodded obediently, just as she was about to pick up some food.
Bang bang bang!!
There was a loud knocking on the door.
Then several people shouted, "Open the door! Ye Yurou, your parents are in our hands! Open the door now!"
"Don't think you can just take the demolition compensation and run away. You can't get away with this two million yuan debt!"
"Speak up now, or I'll stab your parents!"
Hearing the shouts outside, Ye Yurou turned pale with fright and didn't know what to do.
"I haven't even contacted them yet, and they've already come knocking on my door?"
Chen Xiu frowned slightly and put down his chopsticks. "Disturbing my meal will have serious consequences!"
After saying that, he gently patted Ye Yurou's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid and could just sit there and wait.
Then Chen Xiu slowly walked to the door and opened it!
"Damn, you've finally opened the door, huh?"
"Holy crap? There's another man in the house. Is he Ye Yurou's boyfriend?"
"The boss has had his eye on this girl for a while now, but I never expected she'd be hiding a man in her house... The boss will be furious when he finds out!"
"Give him a beating first, then tie Ye Yurou up and take her away!"
"good!"
The thugs at the entrance were all armed, but they didn't take Chen Xiu seriously at all.
"Kid, kneel down and kowtow now, and you'll avoid a beating!"
The bald man at the head of the group said with a sneer.
"Why."
Looking at the bald man, Chen Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "You're so ugly, how dare you come to collect debts at night? Although I wasn't scared by your appearance, it certainly affected my appetite!"
"Holy shit, you don't even know how to spell 'death'?"
The bald man instantly flew into a rage, raised the steel pipe in his hand, and smashed it down towards Chen Xiu.
Bang!
A loud bang.
Chen Xiu stood unharmed in the same spot.
Looking again at the bald man, he had vanished...
"Holy crap, the bald guy is actually in the trash can!"
A sharp-eyed thug noticed a trash can a few meters away swaying back and forth, inside which was the bald man who had just been kicked away by Chen Xiu.
"Bald guy!"
"Bald guy!"
Seeing this, the remaining henchmen all ran towards the trash can.
The bald man's skin and back were embedded in the trash can, with only his feet and belt showing.
"Bald guy, we've got you out!"
