Li Yuqian previously set up a wonton stall selling wontons in Yuncheng.

Just beside the road next to Yunda University.

Because the wontons she makes are made with good ingredients, are delicious, the portions are abundant, and the price is not expensive. Plus, she is pretty, so her business is booming.

Although it was a bit hard to work alone, leaving early and coming back late every day, she didn't complain at all.

If you can earn more money and let your parents, brothers, and sisters live a good life in your hometown, it doesn't matter if you have to suffer a little.

The only thing is that there are often some local gangsters who come to collect protection fees and bully her, which makes her feel even more miserable, but she is unable to resist and can only bear it silently.

That night, Liu Jinzhu, Zhao Changkun, and several of their subordinates came back from the construction site and passed by here.

Seeing her wonton stall, I suddenly felt an appetite, so I stopped the car, and several people came over and each ordered a bowl of wontons, and also ordered some barbecue and beer from the barbecue stall next to it.

While we were eating and drinking, a few gangsters came to collect protection money.

She opened her mouth and asked Li Yuqian for two thousand yuan.

At that time, a bowl of wontons only cost three yuan. Li Yuqian worked exhaustingly for a month and only earned more than two thousand yuan, which was like working for nothing for a month.

Li Yuqian begged those few gangsters, hoping that they would take pity on her and ask for less.

One of the gangsters said with a smile that it was okay to order less, as long as they played with their brothers at night.

Li Yuqian was frightened and had no choice but to pay for the disaster when Liu Jinzhu came over.

Without saying a word, he grabbed the wine bottle and opened the ladle for one of the gangsters.

Several other gangsters were furious and rushed towards Liu Jinzhu, howling.

Without Liu Jinzhu's men taking action, Liu Jinzhu took down all seven or eight gangsters by himself.

After it was over, Liu Jinzhu didn't say anything and went straight back to his seat, sat down and continued drinking with Zhao Changkun and the others.

Li Yuqian was so grateful that she came over to thank her profusely and even brought two bowls of wontons.

Liu Jinzhu still didn't say anything, didn't even look up at Li Yuqian, he just waved his hand and told her to go about her business.

When it was time to settle the bill, I paid the same amount for the two bowls of wontons, not one cent more, not one cent less.

Li Yuqian didn't want to accept the money, but Zhao Changkun threw down the money and left. Before leaving, he smiled and said to her that the wontons were delicious.

Liu Jinzhu didn't say a word to her from beginning to end, and didn't even look at her.

However, from then on, Liu Jinzhu came over every now and then to have a bowl of wontons.

Sometimes I come with a few subordinates, sometimes I come alone.

Since then, no gangsters have come to this street to collect protection fees.

More than half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

Li Yuqian was already very familiar with him. As soon as Liu Jinzhu came over, needless to say, Li Yuqian brought him a bowl of wontons, and then went to the barbecue stall nearby to order twenty skewers of barbecue and two bottles of beer.

After eating, Liu Jinzhu gave her the money as usual.

Still didn't say a word, didn't even look at her.

For more than half a year, Li Yuqian didn't know his name or what he did.

I just occasionally saw him wearing a safety helmet, so I guessed that he might be working on a construction site.

He should be a small leader or something.

Li Yuqian never asked much about Liu Jinzhu.

But deep down, I unconsciously developed a sense of dependence on Liu Jinzhu.

As long as Liu Jinzhu sat there, she felt a sense of security.

When Liu Jinzhu was not around, she always felt empty in her heart. From time to time she would glance at the road, hoping that Liu Jinzhu's old Jetta would appear.

That day, Liu Jinzhu came to eat wontons as usual.

But after eating, when Li Yuqian came over to clear away the dishes, Liu Jinzhu said in his unique hoarse and deep voice: "Follow me from now on, and I will support you."

Li Yuqian thought she heard wrongly and looked at Liu Jinzhu blankly.

Liu Jinzhu also looked up at her.

His eyes are full of tenderness.

Li Yuqian confirmed that she heard correctly, and tears flowed down involuntarily. She covered her mouth, trying hard not to cry, and nodded fiercely.

That night, she followed Liu Jinzhu.

The wonton stall was never set up again.

This made Li Dong, who had just entered the freshman year, very regretful.

At that time, Li Dong only had 200 yuan a month for living expenses. He could only spend 50 cents on a vegetarian dish in the canteen, and another 50 cents on two steamed buns, without even a meat star.

The wonton stall at the school gate was one of the few places where he could have a meal.

Those wontons are so delicious.

It's just a bit expensive, three yuan a bowl is more than his daily living expenses.

He can only come and eat one bowl every half month.

As a result, after just a few months of eating, the wonton stall stopped working.

Li Dong was helpless.

Although there are many wonton stalls around, the wontons made by those stalls are not as delicious as this one, and the portions are not as large as this one.

One bowl of wontons at this restaurant will make Li Dong at least 70-80% full, while two bowls of wontons at other restaurants will only make him half full. Li Dong is not willing to eat it.

I heard that the landlady was abducted by a man, which made Li Dong hate that man very much.

After Li Yuqian followed Liu Jinzhu, she has been living in Liu Jinzhu's apartment.

It was an old community in the city, and the houses were not big.

But the decoration inside is pretty good.

Most of Liu Jinzhu's houses are inconspicuous.

He has done a lot of bad things and is always worried about others retaliating against him.

Li Yuqian stayed there for two months and couldn't sit still anymore.

Liu Jinzhu didn't let her do anything, and just let her stay at home, except watching TV and surfing the Internet.

Then I occasionally wander around the community.

Li Yuqian has been used to living a hard life since she was a child, and she is really not used to being free all of a sudden.

She mentioned several times that she wanted to find a job.

But Liu Jinzhu just disagreed.

At that time, Liu Jinzhu's business had just started. There were several earthwork businesses in Yuncheng, and competition among them was fierce.

Even though Li Yuqian never left or entered, Liu Jinzhu was still a little worried as time passed.

In addition, Li Yuqian was pregnant again, so Liu Jinzhu simply asked her to go back to her hometown to live for a while.

However, after living in her hometown for less than half a month, Li Yuqian couldn't bear it anymore.

She and Liu Jinzhu are not married.

Not even ostentatious.

A young girl in her early twenties who is not married but comes back from the city with a big belly will inevitably be criticized.

Her parents also had a bad look on her, saying that she had ruined the family tradition and had disgraced the Li family.

The most important thing is that I didn't even get to share the betrothal gift, so I got someone's advantage in vain.

Li Yuqian couldn't bear it anymore, so she called Liu Jinzhu and said she was going back to Yuncheng.

Liu Jinzhu did not dare to let her go back to Yuncheng. After thinking about it, he asked Zhao Changkun to take her to Zhao Changkun's hometown county and rented a house to live in.
