In the end, she didn't get revenge for them, nor did she get her money back. Instead, she was slapped a few times and had to pay for their breakfast!
The woman with the protruding mouth was so angry she felt like she was going to vomit blood. "I have no money!"
Ask her for money? Dream on! She'd rather get beaten up than pay a penny!
Then, with a slap, she received another slap, and the woman with the protruding mouth had her face swollen.
The man in the lead leaned close to her ear and threatened in a voice only the two of them could hear: "You have no money, huh? If you have no money, we'll sell your son! That'll be good, one less mouth to feed!"
The woman's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly took out all the money she had on her.
After paying, the group took their steamed buns and dried radish and hurriedly left, having come in a huff but leaving in a panic.
Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of relief.
At first, Yu Qiuying was busy in the kitchen and had no idea what was happening outside.
It wasn't until Cailian came in and told her she needed seventy steamed buns that she realized what had happened.
Those men were clearly called by the woman with the protruding mouth to cause trouble. If Qin Yang hadn't happened to be here, or if those men hadn't happened to know Qin Yang, their shop would most likely have been smashed up today.
Yu Qiuying sincerely thanked her, saying, "Xiao Qin, thank you for today."
"Aunt Yu, you're too kind. Those guys are just hooligans from Chenjia Village. If they dare to cause you trouble again, don't confront them directly. Protect yourselves first, then call the police station," Qin Yang reminded her.
Yu Qiuying and Zhou Cailian nodded hurriedly, indicating that they understood.
After Qin Yang left with breakfast, Zhou Cailian whispered, "Officer Qin was so imposing just now. Those guys were like mice before a cat when they saw him..."
Yu Qiuying glanced thoughtfully at Zhou Cailian, "Cailian, don't you think Xiao Qin has been coming a bit more frequently these past few days?"
Previously, Qin Yang would come every few days, but these past few days he's been coming every day. And she doesn't know if she's overthinking it, but she feels that Qin Yang has been getting too close to Cai Lian these past few days.
Zhou Cailian didn't think much of it. "Aunt Jiang and Uncle Qin are injured, right? I guess Officer Qin can't cook, so he's been coming to our shop to buy breakfast every day these past few days."
"Now that you mention it, you're right."
The mother and daughter chatted for a bit before guests arrived, and they each got busy with their tasks.
—
Zhou Jiadong worked for more than a month and finally received his salary.
This was the first time in his life that he had earned money through his own abilities, and he was both excited and thrilled.
We got paid and then had a day off the next day.
Zhou Jiadong got up early, washed up, and left the dormitory.
I didn't expect to be blocked at the stairwell as soon as I went downstairs.
"Zhou Jiadong, where are you going so early?"
The person who stopped Zhou Jiadong was a tall, fairly pretty girl, around twenty years old, who worked on the same assembly line as Zhou Jiadong, named Li Ting.
Li Ting is a particularly bold and outgoing girl. She is currently pursuing Zhou Jiadong. Every morning she buys breakfast early and waits for him outside his dormitory. Every noon she queues up to get him food, and she even buys him late-night snacks.
Zhou Jiadong had never seen such a proactive and straightforward girl before, and he was completely overwhelmed. But because of Zhong Xiaolan's experience, even though he couldn't handle it, he kept reminding himself that he had to find a wife who would satisfy his mother.
Therefore, he did not readily accept Li Ting.
Zhou Jiadong took two steps back, keeping his distance from Li Ting, and said, "I'm going to find my mom and my older sister."
"Then take me there. Didn't you say your mom opened a breakfast shop here? I haven't had breakfast yet. Can you show me the way? I'll bring my friends to support your mom's business during holidays." Li Ting said, moving closer to Zhou Jiadong.
Zhou Jiadong awkwardly stepped back, "Well, okay then."
He was thinking that he could tell his mother about Li Ting pursuing him later and see if his mother was satisfied with Li Ting. If she was, he would accept Li Ting's advances.
So the two of them took a bus to Yu Qiuying's shop.
