C12 fruit stand (1/2)
Liang Qiuying's face sank, ”That's not something you should know. Don't ask questions that aren't related to you!”
Seeing her reaction, Li Qiang became suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask any questions. He could only nod his head, bid her farewell, and go downstairs.
After experiencing so much suffering, Li Qiang felt that his stomach was bloated, but the horrible smell lingered for a long time. He bitterly smiled in his heart: ”This Xiao Ying is too bad, she doesn't know how to cook so don't cook. What is the meaning of forcing people to eat it? It is too difficult.”
When I reached the roadside, I heard someone selling fruits not far away. I wanted to buy some pears to try, I had just eaten a few dates from Liang Qiuying's place, and my mouth was dry, just enough to moisten my throat, so I walked over to the fruit stand.
When he saw the person selling the fruits, he was immediately surprised. ”Isn't he his classmate, Tian Yinghui?”
Tian Yinghui had a round face and round eyes. She was not tall and appeared petite and cute. Her attitude was always amiable, but she rarely spoke to Li Qiang and the two of them didn't interact much.
”Old classmate, why did you come here to sell fruits?” Li Qiang asked curiously.
Tian Yinghui said with reddened eyes, ”My mother is seriously ill. I had no choice but to sell some fruits to supplement the family during school hours.”
Li Qiang sighed with emotion and thought, ”I didn't expect that in twenty years time, science and technology would improve and the economy would develop. But there are still so many people living in poverty in this society.”
When he thought of this, he took out a hundred-dollar bill and passed it to Tian Yinghui. ”I'll buy a few pears. There's no need to find them.”
Tian Yinghui immediately said, ”How much are these pears? You have too much of these, so I can't take them.”
Li Qiang forcefully stuffed it into her hands and said, ”This is for you, take it. We're all in the same class, there's no need to push and shove.”
Tian Yinghui did not expect Li Qiang, who did not usually talk to her, to be such a good person. She was moved to tears and said, ”Thank you. You are such a good person.”
At this moment, a few people suddenly gathered around and asked, ”Have you paid the protection fee for selling things in our territory?”
When Li Qiang heard the familiar voice, he turned around and saw the leader of the group, who had a head full of white fur and a pair of large earrings. He could not be more familiar with the voice; it was Hu Bin's underlings.
When the white-haired man saw Li Qiang, he took a few steps back in fear. Then, he respectfully said, ”So it's Brother Qiang. What a coincidence.”
Li Qiang bared his teeth in delight and said, ”You've received it from my student for the protection fee. Your hands are really long!”
The white fur looked at Tian Yinghui and immediately understood. ”So she's Brother Qiang's friend. No problem then. We won't accept any protection fees from now on and will definitely protect her. What do you think?”
Li Qiang nodded in satisfaction and said, ”That's right, we are all brothers from all parts of the world, there is no need to fight and kill each other. You guys should always do more useful things, don't always bully the weak and let me see you shouting at others, I will still teach you guys a lesson, do you hear me?!”
With a wave of his hand, these guys quickly backed off in fright. The white hair repeatedly said, ”Since Brother Qiang wants to meet his friends here, then we'll take our leave first!” As he said this, he quickly led his henchmen away.
Tian Yinghui's face turned red as she thanked Li Qiang. She had never thought that the cowardly Li Qiang of the past would help her so much like a hero!
”What's wrong with your mother? Do I need you to do business and earn money? ” Li Qiang asked.
