After hearing Su Meijuan's words, Xu Tianci suddenly came back to his senses.
"Sorry, I was distracted just now. You must be Shen Cinian's wife and mother-in-law, right? I am his comrade-in-arms, Xu Tianci."
Hearing this, Su Meijuan said calmly, "Yes, thank you for coming to pick us up."
Seeing Su Meijuan's lukewarm attitude, Xu Tianci knew that it must be his previous behavior that made the other party unhappy.
But it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl, and he was stunned for a moment.
"It's not hard, Aunt Su. You don't have to be so polite. Old Shen and I have a life-long friendship." Xu Tianci smiled awkwardly, "There are too many people here, let's not stand here and chat. I'll get you settled first, and then we'll have dinner."
"That would be troublesome."
Just as they were about to get in the car, a motorcycle darted across the road, and then a woman's scream was heard, "Ah~ Help, help!"
However, the people around just stopped and watched silently, and no one came forward to help.
Just like the luggage being slashed, this kind of thing happens every day in Guangzhou. What's more, the shiny knife in the criminal's hand is not for decoration.
We can only blame the woman for being unlucky. Who made her so high-profile?
It was not until the earring was forcibly pulled off the woman's ear, tearing the earlobe, that the body being dragged by the motorcycle suddenly stopped.
Looking at the woman's ear with blood gushing out, Su Meijuan felt a chill running down the soles of her feet and straight up to the top of her head.
The woman lay on the ground in agony, shouting in a hoarse voice: "My gold earrings and my gold necklace, wuwuwu, damn robber, is there anyone who can help me?"
Seeing this scene, Su Meijuan's face turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly. "This...are robberies in Yangcheng so blatant?"
When Xu Tianci saw this scene, his expression instantly turned from bright to gloomy.
These biker gangs are really getting more and more rampant. If he didn't need to entertain two people, he would definitely chase them, although he might not be able to catch them.
Even if you catch them, you might get beaten up by these biker gangs, but it's better to feel better about yourself.
Xu Tianci's tone was heavy and a bit chilling, "Yes, Aunt Su, it's very chaotic here, even more chaotic than what you've seen, so don't show off your wealth when you go out. If you can be low-key, don't be ostentatious."
Worried that the two wouldn't take his words to heart, he added a few more words:
"Speaking of which, this woman is quite lucky. At least she managed to save her life. You know, many people who came to Yangcheng disappeared without a trace. Everyone talks about how easy it is to make money in Yangcheng, but no one talks about how dangerous Yangcheng is now. That's because almost all those who knew the inside story have died."
After hearing Xu Tianci's words, Su Meijuan's expression changed again and again, and she even felt a little regretful.
However, before she could digest it, Xu Tianci continued:
"By the way, here, especially near the train station, you have to pay attention to the price when buying things. For example, if it says on a piece of paper that apples are 80 cents, you have to ask whether it is 80 cents per pound or one ounce!"
Su Meijuan: ...
Wow, it’s a big city after all, they even sell things by the pound?
There are really pitfalls everywhere, and you can easily fall into one if you are not careful.
However, if you encounter these, the most you will suffer is some financial loss, not life-threatening consequences.
"I've made a note of that." Su Meijuan's expression was serious, like a humble elementary school student. "Xiao Xu, is there anything else you should pay attention to? Please tell me more."
"Don't talk to strangers casually, especially the elderly, the weak, women and children. They will take advantage of your sympathy. Once they pester you and drag you into a car, it will be useless even if you shout at the top of your lungs that you don't know them.
Because they will make up a suitable story based on your age, such as you eloped with someone, abandoned your husband and children, or said you were disobedient and ran away from home, etc. Once you are dragged into their car, your life or death depends on luck.
Also, don’t just get in those cars parked on the roadside. If you’re lucky, you might be robbed and thrown out of the car. If you’re unlucky, you might lose your life or be sold to the mountains and never get out again…”
Listening to Xu Tianci's endless narration, Su Meijuan felt that Guangzhou was a den of dragons and tigers.
No wonder even in their small town, every one or two years, one would hear that a boy or girl went to Guangzhou and disappeared without a trace.
I used to think that they were just not doing well and were embarrassed to come back, but now I think that they may not be able to go back.
Seeing the car parked steadily in front of a three-story building, Su Meijuan asked doubtfully, "Where is this...?"
Xu Tianci explained with a smile, "This is my home, don't worry, Aunt Su, it's very safe. Besides, the people in our village are very united, and generally no one dares to cause trouble.
It's getting late today, you should eat something and get some rest. I'll take you to the wholesale market tomorrow."
After hearing this, Su Meijuan finally felt relieved.
Fortunately, it was not a hotel. If Xu Tianci arranged for them to stay in a hotel, she would probably not be able to sleep well at night.
But just as the thought came to her mind, Su Meijuan's eyes fell on the torn luggage.
Alas, before leaving, the local specialties and food she carefully prepared were almost all gone when her luggage was scratched. Fortunately, there were still some left, so she didn't have to go empty-handed.
"Xiao Xu, thank goodness you hosted me in Yangcheng this time. Otherwise, Ningning and I wouldn't know if we could return safely."
"Aunt Su, please don't be so distant with me. This is what I should do." Xu Tianci said with a smile and a sincere tone, "Besides, Brother Chen helped me a lot before I retired from the army."
Su Meijuan: I am a person who knows how to repay kindness.
Xu Tianci opened the car door for the two and took their luggage down. "Aunt Su, Comrade Tang, let's go in first. My parents knew you were coming today, and they've been busy preparing for it since early morning."
In the yard.
When Xu Ma saw her son coming back with his people, she hurried over to greet them. "Hello, I'm Tianci's mother. Welcome to our home."
Su Meijuan and Tang Wanning: ...
This is so embarrassing. What should I do if I don’t understand at all?
But judging from her expression, she should be welcoming them, right?
Thinking of this, a gentle smile appeared on Su Meijuan's face.
"It's my first visit, and I'm really sorry to bother you. Here are some snacks my daughter made, as well as some specialties from Jiangsu Province. I hope you don't mind."
"How could that be? Come in and sit down."
Tang Wanning: It’s over, now I can’t even guess.
Seeing their embarrassment, Xu Tianci smiled and explained, "I'm sorry, my mother has never been far away in her life, so she doesn't speak Mandarin very well."
