"Even God is on my side, you can't escape now."
The scoundrel eagerly stepped forward, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He tried to turn his head to look, but his eyes rolled back, and he fainted and fell to the ground.
"My melon! Ah! You bad guy!"
Er Shun looked at his melon with heartache. How could this bad person not even know how to throw it properly? He kept throwing it at his melon. It broke his heart.
Er Shun looked at the damaged watermelon, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.
"Um, thank you. We'll pay you back for the watermelon. If it weren't for you saving us..."
Xiao Liu spoke with lingering fear, not daring to imagine how traumatized she would be if that scoundrel had actually run into her.
"You didn't smash it, so we don't need your compensation."
Seeing that the watermelon was smashed to pieces and beyond saving, Er Shun tied up the hooligan on the ground, carried him away, threw him onto a tricycle, and rode off.
Xiao Liu stared blankly at Er Shun for a long time as he left. He then pulled his friend up, and the two of them helped each other to get their things and go home.
When Ershun took Erliuzi to the police station, the officers were quite surprised. They realized he was a melon thief and the red stains on his head were watermelon juice. They breathed a sigh of relief and then locked him up.
The police took the money from the hooligan and gave it to Ershun as compensation.
After returning home, Xiao Liu had a nightmare that night, and then dreamed of Er Shun. With girlish thoughts, she secretly looked up information about Er Shun without telling her family, and then went to the noodle shop. Coincidentally, the noodle shop was hiring, and Xiao Liu mustered up her courage and took the job.
As a result, Er Shun didn't remember Xiao Liu at first, but Xiao Liu saw Er Shun delivering watermelons and vegetables to the store every day on his tricycle, so he would always go up to talk to Er Shun, and they gradually became familiar with each other.
Xiao Liu learned about Er Shun's situation and illness through subtle means, but seeing Er Shun's sunny smile, he still couldn't control himself.
When her family arrived, Xiao Liu knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she boldly told Aunt Gui Xiang and her family that she liked Er Shun and wanted to be with her.
This infuriated the Liu family, and Guixiang was also shocked.
Er Shun wasn't there. When Er Shun came to deliver vegetables and melons, he found that Xiao Liu wasn't there and asked him a few more questions. He kept asking for several days. Er Shun was in low spirits. Gui Xiang, as his mother, couldn't help but notice and was extremely distressed.
It's a good thing that someone has taken a liking to Er Shun, but Gui Xiang doesn't intend to take advantage of Er Shun's act of saving people. The difficulty lies in the fact that Xiao Liu's family is well-off, and his family would definitely not agree. As for their family's situation, even though they have saved some money now, they dare not have any wishful thinking.
After listening, Yang Yufen hesitated. This matter was really difficult to handle. People's hearts are always biased. Her aunt was definitely biased towards Ershun. She hoped that Ershun could be happy and that his wishes would come true.
"Don't think about it. Don't let Ershun come for now. Find an excuse to appease him. Ershun is only a teenager, he can't think of too much. The watermelons are about to be harvested, right? Let Ershun clear the land first and see what to plant next."
Yang Yufen couldn't do such a despicable thing, so she offered a few words of comfort to Guixiang.
"The girl's circumstances are what they are. A momentary impulse can affect her entire life. How can parents easily give in?"
As Yang Yufen talked about the practical problems, Guixiang still held onto a sliver of hope. After listening to her old friend's words, she sighed again.
"Well, we can't do something immoral. Oh well, it's also my selfishness as a mother. I'm still thinking about what to do with Qingqing. Xiao Liu isn't that old yet, and Ershun really isn't suitable for her."
Gui Xiang realized it wasn't suitable, but Xiao Liu was locked up at home and went on a hunger strike.
