The more Wang Gang praised Luo Yuzhu's sweets, the darker Cai Xiaoli's face became.
Tao Zi was very happy on the sidelines. He had noticed that Wang Gang was obviously interested in Luo Yuzhu. Didn't he and Cai Xiaoli have a chance?
"Boss, give me three pieces of candy." Taozi readily took out thirty cents.
It was impossible for Luo Yuzhu not to do business, so he gave Taozi candy after taking the money.
Taozi couldn't wait to take a piece of candy, put it in his mouth and took a lick.
"Xiaoli, this candy is really good. It's sweeter than the one sold by the supply and marketing cooperative. It also has a special aroma. You should try it too." Taozi handed another piece of candy to Cai Xiaoli.
Cai Xiaoli took the candy hesitantly, looked at Luo Yuzhu, and then at Wang Gang.
Wang Gang was chatting with Luo Yuzhu at this time.
"Yuzhu, I haven't seen you in the market recently. Where have you set up a stall?"
"Recently, the black market has been strictly inspected, so I went to set up a stall near the vegetable market in the east of the city." Luo Yuzhu said with a smile.
Wang Gang bought Luo Yuzhu candy several times, and the two gradually became familiar with each other, and Luo Yuzhu became less defensive about Wang Gang.
As for Wang Gang, he has been in contact with Luo Yuzhu for a long time and found that she is very different from Zheng Juan.
Luo Yuzhu is stronger, more independent, and more aggressive than Zheng Juan.
Wang Gang admired Luo Yuzhu very much for being self-reliant at a young age and supporting herself with her candy-making skills.
At the same time, Wang Gang vaguely discovered that Luo Yuzhu probably had no family and was struggling to survive alone in the capital.
"Brother Han, I may have to leave the capital." Luo Yuzhu suddenly said to Wang Gang.
When Cai Xiaoli heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Where are you going? Going home?" Wang Gang said without surprise.
Luo Yuzhu sighed: "I have no home for a long time. I left Shou because I didn't find the person I was looking for here."
Wang Gang didn't ask Luo Yuzhu who she wanted to find, but Cai Xiaoli was curious!
"Boss, who are you looking for, a relative?" Cai Xiaoli asked.
"Yes." Luo Yuzhu nodded and said, "He is the person I am closest to."
Cai Xiaoli rolled her eyes and asked, "Is he your partner?"
Wang Gang's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.
Luo Yuzhu suddenly lowered his head shyly.
"He suddenly left without saying goodbye. I found out that he got on the train to the capital, so I looked for him."
Cai Xiaoli was very happy and asked: "What's his name? Let's see if we recognize him."
Luo Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "His name is Chen Jianghe."
Cai Xiaoli glanced at Tao Zi and Wang Gang, and they shook their heads, saying they didn't recognize them.
"I have been looking for him in the capital for three months. He may have left long ago." Luo Yuzhu said sadly: "I am going to go to his hometown to wait for him."
Wang Gang raised his eyes and knew that Luo Yuzhu had told him this on purpose.
Cai Xiaoli no longer had any hostility toward Luo Yuzhu at this time. Instead, she felt that she was a sweetheart who would travel thousands of miles to the capital to find a man.
"Let's do this! I'll ask my friends to see if I can find this Chen Jianghe." Cai Xiaoli said to Taozi:
"You should also inquire about it."
Tao Zi was stunned and reluctantly said: "The capital is so, so big, and there are so many people. Looking for Chen Jianghe, isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Can you help?" Cai Xiaoli said with a straight face.
"Help, definitely help." Taozi said flatteringly.
Cai Xiaoli looked at Wang Gang again.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "You have to pay attention to methods when helping people. We just know a name, how can we find it? We must know the appearance."
Luo Yuzhu said: "His name is Chen Jianghe, he is nineteen years old, and he is from Yiwu. As for his appearance..."
Wang Gang asked: "Do you have any photos of him?"
Luo Yuzhu shook his head. They were so poor that they could hardly afford to eat. How could they have money to take pictures?
Wang Gang sighed and said: "There is no photo, I only know the name, it's really hard to find."
Luo Yuzhu said sadly: "I have given up hope a long time ago."
Cai Xiaoli suddenly felt that Luo Yuzhu was a little pitiful.
"Don't be discouraged. Maybe you two are destined to meet each other in the future."
Luo Yuzhu raised her head and said: "I know that Chen Jianghe is a filial man. He will definitely return to his hometown to find his adoptive father. I will wait for him."
Wang Gang felt a little angry in his heart, angry with Chen Jianghe, whom he had never met before.
If a man asks a woman to travel thousands of miles to look for her, he must be an irresponsible person.
When Wang Gang was about to say something else, someone in the market shouted.
"Run quickly, there's an inspection."
Luo Yuzhu subconsciously put away her things, picked up two boxes and prepared to run.
Tao Zi also picked up Cai Xiaoli and ran away.
"Run." Taozi couldn't help but run forward with Cai Xiaoli.
"Chunming." Cai Xiaoli called back, only to find Wang Gang helping Luo Yuzhu clean up the stall.
"Brother Han, run away! Leave me alone." Luo Yuzhu said urgently.
Wang Gang seemed not to hear, and hurriedly helped Luo Yuzhu put away the box, and then took Luo Yuzhu's hand.
"Go quickly."
Luo Yuzhu didn't think much about it. If she was caught, her travel expenses to Chen Jianghe's hometown would be gone.
Wang Gang and Luo Yuzhu were not running fast, and there were several people chasing them. They were holding two boxes of things, but they could not get up fast.
Mainly because Luo Yuzhu's physical strength was too poor and he couldn't run.
Wang Gang took the things from Luo Yuzhu, then grabbed her waist and rushed forward like flying.
Luo Yuzhu screamed in surprise at first, and then felt her body slowly floating up.
Wang Gang hugged a large living person and carried two boxes of things. He ran quickly, gradually pulling the people behind him away.
He ran into an alley and took advantage of his familiarity with the capital's terrain. It didn't take long to get rid of his pursuers and hide in a remote alley.
Wang Gang covered Luo Yuzhu's mouth to prevent her from making any sound, and the two of them shrank into a dark corner.
The person chasing behind him quickly lost his voice and must have gone far away.
Luo Yuzhu was now chest-to-chest with Wang Gang, her face as red as an apple.
Wang Gang noticed that the person was walking away, so he let go of Luo Yuzhu.
"They have gone far, let's hide for a while and then go out to prevent them from coming back with a kill." Wang Gang whispered in Luo Yuzhu's ear.
Luo Yuzhu blushed with embarrassment and nodded slightly, not even daring to take a breath.
Ten minutes later, the chasing group came back cursing and searched for a while before leaving in despair.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Gang finally confirmed that they would not come back, so he pulled Luo Yuzhu out of the shadows.
"It's safe now." Wang Gang smiled.
"Brother Han, thank you." Luo Yuzhu said shyly.
"It's okay. We all get to know each other, so it's easy to help you." Wang Gang said nonchalantly.
Luo Yuzhu took out some candies from the box and gave them to Wang Gang as a thank you.
"Brother Han, take these candies."
Wang Gang was not polite and accepted the candy directly, but secretly stuffed five yuan into Luo Yuzhu's box.
"I think you should stop setting up a stall today. Wherever you live, I will take you back." Wang Gang said to Luo Yuzhu.
"No need, I live very close." Luo Yuzhu shook his head.
"The closer it is, the better." Wang Gang took the initiative to carry Luo Yuzhu's box and let her lead the way.
Luo Yuzhu thought for a while, but still acquiesced in Wang Gang's behavior.
The two of them walked forward without saying a word. Wang Gang noticed that Luo Yuzhu was walking further and further away, and it was not close at all as she said.
Finally, the two walked to an abandoned factory building. Wang Gang said in surprise: "Do you usually live here?"
Luo Yuzhu said nonchalantly: "I have been wandering outside since I was a teenager, and I have lived under bridges. There is a tile here to cover my head, which is already very good."
Wang Gang glanced at the leaky houses around him and couldn't help but worry: "The weather is not too cold now. In two months, you will be frozen to death if you live here."
Luo Yuzhu smiled bitterly and said, "That's why I'm preparing to leave the capital."
Wang Gang frowned and said, "That Chen Jianghe, is that important to you?"
Luo Yuzhu nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, he is very important to me. He is my only relative in this world."
Wang Gang asked in confusion: "Where are your parents and relatives?"
Luo Yuzhu smiled bitterly and said: "My mother died of illness when I was ten years old. Later my father married another man and my stepmother gave birth to a younger brother. She treated me very badly and wanted to marry me off.
I originally thought about getting married, but I didn't expect that vicious woman to sell me to a human trafficker."
Wang Gang frowned, feeling that Luo Yuzhu's life experience was even more miserable than Zheng Juan's.
"Later I escaped from the traffickers and started to make a living on my own. I met Chen Jianghe and we worked together. I cooked sugar and he sold it."
Luo Yuzhu suddenly showed a happy smile on her face.
"But I don't know why he left without saying goodbye. I came all the way to the capital just to get an answer."
Wang Gang shook his head, feeling that this Luo Yuzhu was also a sweetheart.
"You must have suffered a lot along the way!" Wang Gang sighed.
"It's okay, I'm used to it." Luo Yuzhu pursed her lips and said.
Wang Gang was almost defeated by Luo Yuzhu's words.
No matter who has the habit of enduring hardship, there is nothing he can do about it!
"I'm not worried about you living here alone. You and I can go home!" Wang Gang suggested.
