Yang He cleared his throat. "You guys should be more careful next time. The proprietress is a really nice person."
"You know, it does have a certain charm, but it's just that it's getting old."
Shen Shixun listened to their risqué jokes and lowered his head to peel peanuts.
A moment later, Li Yun brought out a plate of cucumber salad and placed it in front of Shen Shixun. "This is a gift, it's free."
"Boss lady, do you still have free cucumbers? Don't you have any left?"
The proprietress came out smiling and looked at Li Yun. Li Yun blushed and turned to go back inside.

"Has something happened at home?"
“Everyone has a family with nothing to lose. Now that the kids are grown up, money is needed everywhere. A few days ago, my mom called and said she had a stomachache in the middle of the night. It turned out to be appendicitis, and half a month's salary was gone.”
