"Sister, let's not do that. Nowadays, people value free love, and I'm hoping to find a good one."
"Even free love requires a chance to get to know each other. By the way, how was that Brother Liu last time?"
"Boss Liu?"
"Yes, Xiao Xu, let me tell you, Boss Liu is a good person. He's rich and doesn't do anything reckless. The only problem is that he's divorced.
...But let me tell you, the divorce wasn't his fault. It was because his woman was a jerk. She took advantage of Brother Liu's business trip to have an affair with someone else, and was caught red-handed. No man would swallow that. Brother Liu wanted to divorce her, but she stubbornly refused to do so. She's not a good woman, after all. She shamelessly kept making trouble for a long time, and she's robbed Brother Liu of half of his family fortune... Actually, Brother Liu didn't bother with a woman like her. He could earn his own money, so he gave her the money. After all, they've been married for several years, and he's done his best.
It has been two or three years since the divorce. There have been many women who have paid for me, but Brother Liu doesn't like them at all. I think you are different. You are different from those women. Brother Liu will definitely like you.
Also, he has no children, so he definitely won't have to worry about money. Lao Liu is smart and good at business, and he's made a lot of money over the years. If you marry him, he'll definitely give you a good life."
"Big sister, let's not do that. Boss Liu and I are just customers. Please don't try to force anything on us. I...I actually already have someone in my heart."
"Is there anyone here? Oh, I was busy for nothing." The eldest sister slapped her thigh and smiled, but didn't say anything else.
After taking away the goods, Xu Shan looked at the boats coming and going in the distance, sighed, and turned back to get herself some food.
At around three or four in the afternoon, people suddenly came to the island.
Xu Shan became more alert, hiding behind Dabai, holding a stick and asking, "Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm from the village, my name is Liu Wei. That Zhang Yang from yesterday is my cousin." Liu Wei paused awkwardly and quickly apologized, "Sister Xu, I'm so sorry. Zhang Yang has been hanging around with his cronies all day, not doing his job, but he really doesn't have any bad intentions. Someone must have instigated him to do this."
Xu Shan frowned as she listened to his words. As soon as the man opened his mouth, she knew what he was up to. She snorted coldly, "You're picking the lock of a girl who lives alone in the middle of the night, and you still claim to have no bad intentions? If I hadn't escaped quickly yesterday, I'd probably be the one crying today. I know what you're up to. Go back. I won't compromise with scum like this."
"Girl, please give my son a chance to reform. He knows he's wrong. For the sake of us old couple, please give him a chance to live."
Xu Shan glanced at the two hunchbacked old men beside Liu Wei. Although she felt a moment of pity in her heart, she was not prepared to waver.
"Auntie, you asked me to forgive your son, but have you ever thought about what I, a young girl from another place, should do when encountering such a thing, and who should I ask for help.
If the victim this time was your daughter, think about it the other way around, would you be willing to let go of those who wanted to do something bad to your daughter?
We have nothing to talk about, so you can go."
Xu Shan was not going to argue with them too much. She was firm in her attitude and would not compromise on this matter.
The old man at the side took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, glanced at Xu Shan, and did not entangle too much. Before leaving, he only said: "Little girl, you are from another place..."
One sentence made Xu Shan feel threatened. Yes, it was a threat.
"Dabai, that old man was saying that I'm a foreigner and should just keep quiet and be sensible. Unfortunately, he can't scare me at all. I, Xu Shan, have always been fearless."
After seeing a few people driving away in a boat, Xu Shan touched Dabai's head and said coldly.
Dabai barked a few times, as if to say, I will protect you.
Although Xu Shan had a tough attitude, she was still cautious in her heart.
At night, I locked the door one after another, surrounded myself in bed, lit candles and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
I went to bed very late that night and I don’t even know how I fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes the next day, everything was calm, which made Xu Shan secretly relieved.
She originally thought that since Liu Wei's family had returned empty-handed and warned her like that, they would retaliate against her.
But after a few days of silence, Xu Shan felt that it was just talk.
As the Chinese New Year approached, Boss Liu came again, this time carrying more than 30 tons of tangerines and oranges.
"Boss Liu, the prices are even higher this time. Oranges are now 20 cents, and tangerines are 40 cents."
Boss Liu smiled gently and nodded: "As long as it's your product, I'll take it no matter how much it costs."
Xu Shan laughed: "Boss Liu, you're joking. It's the right amount."
Boss Liu turned to her and said, "What I said is true."
The tone was too serious, and Xu Shan suddenly felt that Boss Liu had ulterior motives.
Even if she was stupid, she could understand what Boss Liu meant to her now.
Xu Shan quickly covered her eyes and said, "Oh...Oh, thank you for your kindness, Boss Liu. When Boss Liu comes to pick up the goods in the future, I will definitely keep it for Boss Liu first."
"By the way, I heard that something happened to you. Do you need my help?"
"No, no, it's resolved now. It's not a big deal."
"I'm serious. It's really not safe for a little girl like you to stay on this island. I know a few people. Would you like to introduce them to me? They can help you look after the garden."
"Really, there's no need. I have Dabai at home, who can replace two or three strong men. I'm sorry to bother Boss Liu."
Boss Liu was a man who knew his limits, so he didn't say anything else. Before leaving, he added, "This shipment coincides with the Chinese New Year. We've had a pleasant time working together over the past few times. The city holds an annual meeting every Chinese New Year. If Boss Xu is interested, remember to call me and I'll be your guide."
Xu Shan smiled and nodded, saying that she would go over and take a look if she had the chance.
Xu Shan felt a little disappointed with Boss Liu's repeated enthusiasm. They had only dealt with each other a few times in business. As for familiarity, he was not as familiar as she and her elder sister.
She really didn't know Boss Liu, so how could she have any good feelings towards him? At best, he was just one of her big clients.
She still has Xiaobai. Xiaobai, that fool, actually took her joke seriously. Now he is working hard outside to make money. If she gets married, he will definitely be very sad.
She was waiting here for Xiaobai, waiting for him to come back.
Xiaobai, that fool, didn't even come back to see her. Even if he didn't earn enough money, he should have come back to report that he was safe or something.
"Dabai, it's another year. This year I'll buy you some extra bones so you can eat as much as you want."
