Zhao Laidi watched Old Li walk away.
He weighed the two eggs in his hand and thought to himself that this guy was stupid.
He was a bachelor in his sixties who would come to our house every few days to bring us two eggs.
The requirement was for Liu Gou to carry some stones back.

Her eyes were red.
I wanted to beat that woman up.
Maybe she kept her gaze on him for too long, and the boy who was wolfing down his food suddenly looked up.
A fierce gaze suddenly met her!
