Wencai took out the money from his pocket, counted out sixty yuan, and put the remaining twenty yuan back into his pocket. He stood up from his chair, walked over to the old lady, sat on the sofa, and slapped the money into her hand.
The momentum and aura were so great that he seemed to treat himself like a big star. He had an expression that looked down on everyone and was just waiting for the old lady to praise him.
"Where did you come from?"
"Mom, just keep the money. Who am I, your son? The mountain people have their own clever tricks, and the secrets must not be revealed. Nanny, make an extra meal for one person tonight. I want to eat back what I had at noon today."
Time passed day after day, and soon a month had passed. It was almost time to give Wu Ju living expenses.
On the morning of the 1st, Wu Ju got up early and went to the intersection where Boyi had to pass to wait for him.
Few of the things she promised others were fulfilled on time, but she remembered clearly what others promised her and would not give them any chance to fail to fulfill their promises.
Seeing Boyi riding his bike towards her from a distance, Wu Ju shouted at the top of her lungs, "Boyi! Going to work at the brick factory?"
Seeing Wu Ju blocking the way ahead, Boyi quickly stepped on the brakes and jumped off the bike.
"Aunt Wu, where are you going so early?"
"Waiting for you! Look, today is the first of the month, the day Shumei has to pay her living expenses. If she doesn't send money back, the child will have to go hungry. I know you and Shumei are always good friends, so you must know where she works. Just give her a message and tell her that if she doesn't send money back after tonight, the child will have no rice porridge to eat and will have to starve."
"Is that so? Don't worry, Aunt Wu, I'll definitely pass on the message." Boyi rummaged through his pockets and found some small change. He stuffed it all into Wu Ju's hands, "Aunt Wu, this is all I have. Take it for emergency use, in case Shumei hasn't received her salary yet! We can't let the child go hungry! If it's not enough, you can go to my eldest sister in the safekeeping room and buy some on credit. Put it on my account."
Wu Ju deliberately put on an embarrassed expression, "Bo Yi, how can I be so embarrassed?"
"It's okay, the child is important. Auntie, you're busy. I'll go to the brick factory first."
Wu Ju quickly made way and said hypocritically, "Okay, then you ride slower."
Qianqian's barber shop's business is still as good as ever. The sign has been hanging there for a long time, but no one comes to apply.
Wang Hao, Qianqian's regular customer, still comes every day to take care of her business. Qianqian is already very annoyed by him because he is always so inappropriate, always touching her hand or pinching her butt when she isn't paying attention.
Since they were doing business, Qianqian couldn't kick him out. Besides, he always pretended to be a gentleman. It was obvious that he did it on purpose, but he still pretended to apologize to Qianqian and said it was an accident.
Qianqian really has no way to deal with him. Recently, he always comes to visit very late. In order to avoid him, Qianqian has closed the morning door for several days.
That evening, after Boyi finished work, he rode his bicycle to the town, intending to convey Wu Ju's words to Shumei.
As soon as they arrived in the town, it was already dark. Boyi suddenly remembered what Shumei had told him that day and decided to go visit Qianqian first.
Some things are just so coincidental. As soon as Boyi arrived at the store, he saw a scene that made him furious.
"Brother Hao, what are you going to do?"
Wang Hao pressed Qianqian's body tightly, forced her to the corner of the small room, and pressed Qianqian's hands tightly against the wall.
"Do you remember how long we've known each other? From the first day I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you. In order to make you fall in love with me, I appear in front of you once a day. Yesterday I didn't come. Did you miss me especially? The book says this is called the beauty of distance. Occasionally, you should create a little distance to let the other person know how important you are in her heart."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I already have a boyfriend."
"What?"
Qianqian's words completely angered the man in front of her who was wearing a gentle mask. He was so gentle just now, but suddenly his eyes widened with anger, like a hungry beast.
"No, you lied to me, you are mine, you are mine..."
Wang Hao began to kiss Qianqian madly. Qianqian struggled desperately. His lips moved from her forehead to her nose, then to her lips, and slowly moved down, trying to kiss every inch of Qianqian's skin.
"Let me go, Brother Hao, don't do this, or I'll call for help."
Hearing Qianqian's words, the man smiled a strange smile, so terrifying that it sent shivers down his spine. He pressed against Qianqian's body, pressing her against the wall, leaving her unable to resist. Then he released his right hand and made a shushing gesture in front of his mouth.
