The blond-haired henchman said with a grin, but a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
Money = steamed buns = food = not going hungry = surviving. This formula was deeply ingrained in Lu Qingyan's mind, and she would never hand it over.
Just like last time, she quickly and gently hugged the bag to her chest and curled up into a ball.
"Tch." The man walked up to Lu Qingyan and kicked her. Lu Qingyan felt a lot of pain this time, even more than when Hu's mother had hit her before. She gritted her teeth and didn't shed a single tear.
Her bag was snatched away, and Lu Qingyan watched helplessly as they stuffed the colorful money into their pockets.
At this moment, Lu Qingyan immediately transformed into a fierce wolf. She nimbly reached out a hand and grabbed a handful of money from the man's pocket.
"Damn, you've got guts, daring to snatch it from me."
The man glared fiercely at Lu Qingyan, his grip tightening. When Lu Qingyan stopped moving, he left, cursing under his breath.
Once they were out of sight, Lu Qingyan finally moved her aching body.
She cried and laughed for a long time before her emotions calmed down. Her mother used to beat her like this; once she stopped, her mother would stop. It turned out this trick worked on everyone.
As Lu Qingyan thought this, her eyes lit up.
She quickly got up to look for her bag, and thankfully it hadn't been taken; there were still four white steamed buns inside.
Lu Qingyan carefully took out one and took a big bite, immediately feeling the pain lessen. She murmured softly, "I won't die, I will live well, live for a very, very long time..."
Lu Qingyan thought about it and realized that the two people must have seen her take out so much money from her clothes before they came to rob her.
Fortunately, I managed to grab one in the end.
Lu Qingyan looked at the crumpled red card in her hand and was very happy to know that it was the largest one.
What to do next? Hmm, I need to find a job to support myself.
Lu Qingyan thought she had a clear goal, but she couldn't find anyone to accept her no matter how many places she went to. The pretty aunties and older women all looked at her with smiles and said, "Little girl, are you playing a game? You're so young, we definitely don't want you."
Lu Qingyan looked at her short frame, tears welling up in her eyes.
After searching for a long time, the last old woman who ran a snack shop couldn't bear to see her like that. She took her downstairs, gave her a bath and a change of clothes, made her wash dishes in the kitchen, and gave her a full meal.
The old woman's shop sold noodles. Lu Qingyan stared blankly at the bowl full of noodles with plenty of meat, and asked, "This...is this for me?"
The old woman stroked Lu Qingyan's straw-like hair: "Eat quickly, and then go home. Look at how dirty you were before, who could bear to look at you like that?"
Lu Qingyan immediately understood; they were all plotting to send her back. No, she couldn't go back!
Thinking this, Lu Qingyan spent three days busy at the old woman's place and ate her fill for three days before saying goodbye to the old woman and lying that she was going back.
She was very happy during her stay there; she had never been happier in her life.
But she couldn't stay here just because she was happy for a moment and wait to be sent back.
The old woman was very reluctant to part with her and even prepared some dry food for her. After leaving the old woman's house, Lu Qingyan began her wandering life again.
