The stream was very cool in the afternoon, with a cool breeze and the occasional bird calls. Xu Jiaojiao put her white and smooth feet into the stream and lay on her back on the grass.

Squinting her eyes to feel the wind blowing from time to time, she felt so comfortable that she didn't want to get up: "Hubby, let's make peace."

Xie Zhi tilted his head to look at the girl and rubbed her nose lovingly: "Okay, but Jiaojiao, I'm worried about you. Next time you go out with Yangmei, you must tell me, okay?"

The girl was still frightened as she thought about the perverts she had met in recent months, and she nodded continuously.

Their fiery gazes intertwined, and their lips and tongues immediately came together.

But the two soon separated again. It was cool now, and many people were playing in the water by the stream. There were many young couples behaving intimately. Xu Jiaojiao saw Shen Yun and Feng Yuan from a distance. The two were in the most secluded place. If she hadn't looked for them carefully, it would have been impossible to find them.

Xie Zhi asked in a hoarse voice: "What are you looking at?"

Then he turned the girl's cheek towards himself, and the two looked at each other, obviously dissatisfied with Jiaojiao for ignoring this matter.

"Are you sad that your admirer has a partner?" she joked.

What responded to Xu Jiaojiao was Xie Zhi's powerless eyes. He suddenly pulled her in front of him, and the two of them pressed tightly together: "You little heartless girl, you are the only one in my heart."

"I'm going to look for a shop tomorrow. Jiaojiao, do you want me to go with you?"

"Is school closed?"

"You can change classes."

"Forget it. I'll ask Fourth Brother and Mom to go with me. I don't know how the shop is going. My career hasn't even started yet." The girl made a sound of annoyance, obviously dissatisfied with the result.

Shen Yun pushed the stinky man away and glared at him randomly. His face was covered with water splashed by him. He said in an irritable tone: "Hey, stay away from me, or I won't come with you next time."

Feng Yuan saw how embarrassed the girl was because of him, he licked his teeth evilly and patted Shen Yun's cheek. The girl's lips were as sweet as honey and her cheeks were like pink peaches.

"You are really good looking."

Shen Yun is the heroine of this world after all. Although she has been working hard for many years, she still has a solid foundation. Except for Xu Jiaojiao, she is quite eye-catching among the female comrades.

The man handed over a few headbands from his arms. The patterns were pretty and girlish, and the colors were very fresh, very suitable for the summer season.

Sure enough, when Shen Yun saw this thing, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly took it, held it in his hands, and looked at it again and again. It was much more beautiful than the red ribbon on his head.

She hugged Feng Yuan happily and kissed him again and again. The man's nose smelled the unique fragrance of a young girl. An inexplicable emotion rose from his lower abdomen, and he twisted his body in an attempt to hide his feelings.

"Thank you, Feng Yuan. I like this gift so much. You don't know how much I envy Jiaojiao. Her things are all so beautiful."

Seeing Shen Yun so happy, Feng Yuan's heart slowly filled up. Some young girls he gave these things to would not even look down on them, but he treated this man as a treasure.

The tone was not very good: "You are useless. You were bought off with just a little thing."

"If you follow me, I will give you all the good things."

Shen Yun was shocked when she heard this. She never wanted to tie herself to a man. She smiled and said, "Wait a minute. I'm afraid you won't want me when you return to the city."

Feng Yuan snorted with disdain.

Xu Jiaojiao wiped her feet clean on Xie Zhi's body and asked him to put on her shoes, which were still slippery afterwards.

"Go back."

"Um."

.........

After three days, Xu Jiaojiao took her brother and mother to the county town. Just like last time, the three of them went directly to see Boss Hu to see if there was anyone suitable, instead of looking for the third brother.

When they arrived, it was past nine o'clock and there was no one inside, so they started eating breakfast.

"Jiaojiao, do you want a bun or something else?"

"No."

Xu Jiaojiao held the meat bun in her hand, eating as she looked at it, her eyes occasionally looking towards the most secluded alley, at the end of which was the house, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Sheng Jie's back teeth were almost broken. After the last time, he was sent to a place a few hundred meters away from the village entrance by those people. He was threatened a few times and told to come back in three days.

"You look good, why don't you play with us brothers?"

As he said this, he grinned foolishly with a mouth full of dirty teeth. They had never seen such a delicate and tender pretty boy before. They liked him very much.

He took out ten yuan and slapped it on Sheng Jie's face: "Buy an old hen to replenish your body."

The man said nothing, just lying on the board blankly, allowing these people to insult him, with empty tears in the corners of his eyes. He had no idea that these people gave him money purely because they were afraid of getting into trouble after their crimes were exposed.

Giving money might be considered selling.

"If you don't come in three days, I will come to find you."

Thinking about what happened a few days ago, Sheng Jie wanted to die. He even stole the only kitchen knife in the house and wanted to chop those people alive.

The man kept his head down and walked close to the wall. He didn't even wear the most flashy clothes he usually wore. He was just wearing a gray-blue suit that looked like he didn't know how many years old.

His timid look was ignored in the crowd, but Xu Jiaojiao watched it silently.

She knew the little girl too well. Once she targeted her, she would feel very hurt. Thinking about what she had suffered on the train, she still felt an indescribable palpitation.

"Let's go find Boss Hu. I saw her go in."

After the girl finished speaking, several people hurriedly stood up. Yan Fenglian paid the money and followed her daughter. She saw a familiar figure walking towards a dark alley.

He squinted his eyes and frowned to look carefully, trying to see clearly who that person was, but he couldn't recognize the strange yet familiar figure at all.

Sheng Jie stood sideways in front of the door, took a deep breath, touched the knife in his arms, and seemed to have made some kind of decision.

Yan Fenglian pulled her son and nodded her head: "What is that kid from the Sheng family doing there?"

Xu Yan looked at the man and smiled in confusion: "Who knows? Don't worry about it. Be careful that Jiaojiao finds out. The two of them will be fine again."

Yan Fenglian thought so too and followed him into the store.

Xu Jiaojiao put the cookies in her hand on the table and asked with a smile: "Boss Hu, how is it? I bought you a box of cookies."

Boss Hu looked at the expensive biscuits, touched them and smiled, and immediately felt that the past few days of running were worth it.

"I did find out about one for you. It's across from the department store. It has the best location, but they don't rent it out, they only sell it."

The girl's eyes lit up: "Okay, I want to buy it."

In terms of doing business, having money to buy a shop is the best option. She has seen too many landlords who raised the rent because the shop owner's business was good.

Especially when the legal system is not yet complete, he may not even abide by the contract.

"Can you take us there now?"

"Let's go. The previous store is just packing up." Boss Hu closed the shop. There wasn't much business anyway. He earned a box of cookies today, so he might as well go.

A few people came to the opposite side of the state-owned hotel, which used to be a clothes shop, but business was so bad that it had to be closed.

"Jiaojiao, there is a sewing machine inside." Xu Yan whispered in his sister's ear.

Boss Hu walked forward enthusiastically and brought Xu Jiaojiao to Guan Zhiman: "Boss Guan, you are here. This is Jiaojiao who is here to do business."

Guan Zhiman held her chin up and looked at the girl carefully, then suddenly laughed out loud: "I was wondering why Xu Bai was so enthusiastic these past two days, it turns out that her sister is going to open a store."

Xu Jiaojiao never expected that this man was actually the boss. What a narrow road for enemies to cross. Thinking of what he had done to her brother, anger rose in her heart.

He pulled the corner of his mouth: "What a coincidence, Brother Zhiman."
