He got injured because a petty thief stole something and framed him for it.
A group of men in black fought with him in an attempt to retrieve the item.
He explained, but those people didn't believe him.
During this time, those people were still looking for him, and he was also looking for that petty thief.
He remembered that when he was injured and being escorted away, the thief ran back and took the things.
Song Chengde never liked to suffer in silence.
He will catch that petty thief, and he will also kill those who wanted to kill him.
Now, Ahri has a place to stay in this city, and he no longer has to worry about being evicted for not being able to pay rent. He can also do what he wants to do with peace of mind.
Song Chengde looked up at the willow branches swaying in the wind, as if lost in thought.
After a long silence, he murmured again, "Being good to her doesn't need a reason."
The next day, the manager who had taken Ahri to see the house the day before brought people to help Ahri move.
Ali's family doesn't have many things; the most important one is the millstone, used for grinding beans. It consists of two large, processed stones that are very heavy.
Fortunately, the steward brought strong and capable men, and two burly men lifted it up and put it on the carriage in no time.
Other miscellaneous items were also moved up there.
Ali looked around but didn't see Song Chengde. She shook the rattle drum in her hand and was led by Dong Yue towards their new home.
However, when Dong Yue was not around, the steward told Ali that his master had gone out on business and his return date was uncertain.
Ahri lowered her head and shook the rattle in her hand. She didn't ask him where he had gone, but only said, "I know."
?
Before we knew it, five years had passed in the blink of an eye.
The enemy country was driven back and has not dared to invade again in recent years.
The people of this city continued to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, because the flames of war had not spread there.
Over the years, Ali's tofu has gradually become famous, and his tofu pudding and fried tofu are also delicious.
Originally, there was only a small tofu stall, but now there are several tables and benches next to it, and quite a few people are sitting on them.
Ali, with a blue headscarf tied around his head, was busy at his stall, while Dong Yue was washing dishes beside him.
"Boss, give me a serving of sweet tofu pudding!"
"Okay, coming right away!"
Ali quickly made a bowl of tofu pudding, then smiled as she arranged it, sprinkled it with sugar, and served it to the customer.
Dong Yue wore an apron around her waist. She wiped her hands, glanced at the wooden bucket of tofu pudding that was almost sold out, and then looked at Ali.
Her daughter is growing more and more beautiful.
Many people say she is the "Tofu Beauty" because she is beautiful, kind-hearted, quick-witted, and hardworking.
Some people came to propose marriage, but she secretly rejected them all.
Because she had asked Ah Li, and Ah Li said she was still too early and had to wait another two years.
"Mom, is the tofu pudding going to be gone?"
When Ah Li saw Dong Yue standing in front of the wooden bucket containing tofu pudding, lost in thought, she assumed her mother was still planning to make more beans.
Dong Yue snapped out of her daze and wiped the fine sweat from Ali's forehead. "Hmm, we're almost done. We'll rest once we're sold out."
They have to get up very early in the morning, before dawn.
Whether it's tofu, tofu pudding, or fried tofu, everything is made fresh daily.
Sometimes they can't sell all of it, so they either eat it themselves or give it to their neighbors.
Ali glanced at the large wooden board containing tofu. There wasn't much left. They could stew the tofu, or buy some bones and stew them together.
When it comes to food, Ahri didn't skimp on herself at all.
Just then, someone said, "Boss, give me a bowl of sweet tofu pudding and a bowl of savory tofu pudding."
"Okay, coming right away!"
Ah Li responded, just thinking that after so long, it seems that only one person likes to eat both flavors of tofu pudding.
The moment she turned around, she saw Song Chengde standing behind her, dressed in black and holding a string of candied hawthorns.
"Brother Song!" Ah Li called out happily.
A smile appeared on Song Chengde's lips; he liked how happy the girl was to see him.

Hearing the system notification, Ah Li's joy remained unchanged, and she instantly rushed forward, tightly embracing Song Chengde.
"Brother Song, where have you been all these years? I miss you so much!"
The petite girl nestled in his arms, telling him without reservation how much she missed him.
[Current progress in defeating the villain: 65%]
To her, it was as if he had just gone on a long trip; there was no estrangement between them whatsoever.
Dong Yue was wondering when Ali had recognized a Brother Song, when she suddenly saw Ali bump into that person's arms, saying that she missed him.
"Ah Li".
Dong Yue looked to the side and saw that many people were watching them. She quickly went up to try to pull Ali out of Song Chengde's arms.
How could a young lady behave like this in public?
As a result, Ali did not let go of Song Chengde. Instead, she raised her head slightly and said to Dong Yue, "Mother, this is Brother Song. This house is still his."
Dong Yue then remembered that five years ago, Ali had mentioned Brother Song, but she hadn't seen him in all these years and had completely forgotten about him.
So, is he here to collect rent?
Over the years, she has saved a lot of money, which should be enough to pay the rent.
