A Man Can't Be a Hero Without Money
After Gu Sining left, the courier station immediately became lively. This was big news. How could these people not be gossipy?
"Look, her legs are so big, her breasts are so long, and her legs are so white …" The colleagues at the express delivery station began to fantasize. They could not have such a fair, rich, and beautiful woman, so they could only do this.
Huang Xu, who was experienced, kicked him in the butt and said, "Get lost. What are you thinking about? How can you be interested in such a woman? Do you think you are Li Xiang? Look at your thick skin and thick flesh. Which woman will like you? And look at Li Xiang's condition …"
The workers at the express delivery station had always been curious. How could a man like Li Xiang come to deliver packages? No matter how they looked at it, he didn't look like a laborer. They reckoned that he was here to experience life. Besides, he had such a beautiful aunt. They reckoned that he wouldn't stay for long before leaving. Who knew that he had persisted for two months, this was not easy.
If it was the old Li Xiang, no one would think he was a man who could deliver packages. Maybe it was because he had stayed at the border of Sichuan-Tibet for three years that he had tanned a lot. He was stronger and more mature than before.
"Li Xiang, is this beautiful woman really your girlfriend?" Huang Xu walked over and asked again. Everyone heard what the beautiful woman said when she left, so Huang Xu asked this question.
Li Xiang said helplessly, "Brother Xu, what are you thinking? How can such a beautiful woman be my girlfriend? Do you believe me?"
"If it's someone else, I definitely won't believe it. But if it's you, Li Xiang, I definitely believe it. You never tell us what you used to be, but I feel that you must have done something big in the past. It's not strange that you know such a beautiful woman," said Huang Xu. Although Li Xiang said that he had a serious illness and had forgotten about his past, Huang Xu and the others felt that it was just an excuse from Li Xiang.
Li Xiang really did not know why Huang Xu was so confident in him. He did not even know what he used to do. Could it be that he was really a big boss?
"That's enough, Brother Xu. He's just a friend of mine. You should go and do your own things, in case the boss's wife comes out to scold us later." Li Xiang said with a smile. Then he was ready to go to the office to change his clothes and start a busy and fulfilling day.
At this time, Huang Xu and the others also saw that the proprietress had come out. They quickly dispersed and went about their own business. The proprietress was like a landlady here. No one dared to provoke the proprietress who was at least 100 kilograms. Usually, when she scolded them, it was like she was scolding her grandchildren. They didn't know how the boss's thin and weak body could withstand the proprietress's torment.
After Huang Xu and the others dispersed, Li Xiang had not walked a few steps when he heard the landlady shouting impatiently, "Li Xiang, come here."
Li Xiang ran over happily. He was a special existence here. Whether it was the boss or the proprietress, they were all very kind to him. The boss might be treating him because of Li Xiang's aunt, and the proprietress might be treating him because of Li Xiang's purple color.
"What's the meaning of this? I knew you wouldn't want me to introduce a girlfriend to you. Turns out you have such a beautiful girlfriend. Then why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry for nothing. You must be messing with me," the lady boss scolded as she chewed on melon seeds.
Li Xiang quickly replied, "Sister Lili, that girl is really not my girlfriend. She's just a friend. She just told me something today. I won't let her come here in the future."
Sister Lili, this was how the proprietress addressed her. Those who did not know her might think that she was a beautiful young married woman.
After seeing her, they probably would not have any thoughts about her anymore.
The proprietress snorted coldly and said, "That's more like it. What about the girl I introduced last time? Have you contacted her?"
"Sister Lili, that girl is too young. I like older girls. You see, I'm an old single dog. I don't have anything I want. It would be good if I could have a divorced young married woman. It would be better if she could have two children. Then I don't need to have children," Li Xiang said.
At first, the proprietress looked calm. However, as she listened to Li Xiang's words, her face became uglier and uglier. In the end, she revealed a murderous look.
Li Xiang did not wait for the proprietress to get angry and ran away directly.
A busy and fulfilling day began again. Li Xiang liked this kind of life. Every day, he drove an electric tricycle through the streets and alleys to deliver and receive packages. Although it was a little hot and tiring in summer, it was much more interesting than the life in the small town of Sichuan-Tibet.
The most interesting thing was that he could come into contact with all kinds of people every day. Li Xiang liked to observe them the most. Everyone had their own life, and everyone was experiencing different things. Li Xiang could guess their happiness and anger, and sometimes he would even chat with them with interest.
Because his aunt had gone far away, there was no one in the bookstore to make lunch. Ah Ning had to take care of the flowers and cats in the bookstore, so she definitely had no time to cook. At noon, Li Xiang bought some chili oil stuffed buns from a nearby fly shop and sent them there.
As soon as he entered the bookstore, he heard the sound of quarreling inside. Li Xiang frowned slightly and walked over quickly. He saw two or three hooligans surrounding Ah Ning and shouting aggressively, "Your father owes money and can't pay it back. Then we can only ask you for it. If you can't pay it back, we can only think of other ways. I think a beautiful woman like you must have a good business as a prostitute."
As soon as the hooligan finished speaking, the other two couldn't help but laugh. They did not forget to look at Ah Ning unscrupulously, as if they were going to take off Ah Ning's clothes.
"Who said that?" At this time, Li Xiang had already walked in. He treated Ah Ning as his sister. How could he tolerate others bullying Ah Ning, let alone coming to the bookstore to bully her?
The three hooligans turned their heads and looked at Li Xiang. The one who spoke said disdainfully, "Oh, you're the delivery man. What business do you have here? If you don't want to cause trouble, get out of here. "
Li Xiang didn't talk nonsense. He stared at the hooligan, and there was an inexplicable aura about him that made the hooligan step back subconsciously. However, the hooligan still said stubbornly, "It's a matter of course to pay the debt. We didn't do anything illegal. What do you want?"
Li Xiang didn't make a move. He just asked, "How much money does her father still owe you?"
"In addition to the 100,000 last time, he still has 80,000 with interest. When do you want to pay it back?" The hooligan didn't want to cause trouble. They just wanted to collect the debt. Unless it was necessary, they would not make a move.
"If you still want the money, get out of here now. Come back in three days to get the money," Li Xiang said.
When the hooligans heard this, they immediately became spirited and said, "Okay, since you said so, I'll believe you this time. If you don't pay it back in three days, don't blame us for being rude."
"Get out," Li Xiang scolded.
The few hooligans ran away with their butts trembling …
As soon as they left, Ah Ning cried sadly, "Brother Li Xiang, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. It's all my fault."
Ah Ning's surname was Ning, and her name was Ning Yuan. Li Xiang and his aunt always called her Ah Ning. They got used to it.
Ah Ning also liked the name. Later, Li Xiang often sang a song called Ah Ning for her. Ah Ning liked the name more and more.
"It's okay. It's all in the past." Li Xiang touched Ah Ning's hair and comforted her. "I'll think of a way to borrow some money from the boss. As long as you pay the debt, they won't come to you again."
Li Xiang really doesn't have any money. His meals, drinks, toilets, and sleeping are all paid for by his aunt. Sometimes Li Xiang feels very shameful. A man with hands and feet still needs his aunt to support him. So when he arrived in Chengdu, he insisted on coming out to work. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any education, plus he is already in his thirties, he can only be a coolie.
"Brother Li Xiang, I don't want to bother you anymore. The 80,000 yuan was paid by my aunt last time. You didn't agree. I can't bother you anymore." Ah Ning refused directly.
Li Xiang replied firmly, "Why are you saying this? I said I'll think of a way. You don't have to worry about it. You can pay us back when you make money in the future."
Ah Ning wanted to continue to say something, but Li Xiang changed the topic and asked her to eat. When Ah Ning finished eating, Li Xiang had already gone back to work, leaving Ah Ning alone in a daze.
Ah Ning always felt that she was unlucky. But the luckiest thing for her was to meet her aunt and Li Xiang. In the beginning, she thought that Li Xiang had feelings for her. Later, she found that she thought too much. Li Xiang just regarded her as a younger sister. She liked the feeling of being loved very much. Since she was a child, what she lacked was family love.
She didn't know what her aunt and Li Xiang did before, and she didn't want to know about it. But she knew that her aunt and Li Xiang didn't have it easy. Her aunt's bookstore had been losing money. Li Xiang's brother had to deliver packages and be a resident singer to earn money to support the family. Besides, they had helped her once. She didn't want to trouble them again.
So this time, she could only think of a way by herself.
At the express station, after a day of delivering packages, Li Xiang had been looking for an opportunity to borrow money from the boss. But the boss went out when he got off work. It seemed that he had a social engagement at night. Li Xiang could only look for the boss's wife.
What's more, the boss's financial power was controlled by the boss's wife. Even if he went to the boss, the boss would make the final decision.
But who knew that after he went to the boss's wife, the result was not what he wanted. The boss's wife refused him politely. She said that it was not easy for the express station now. The pressure of competition was too great. The business in the past few months was not good. The monthly expenses were so high. They had to pay their salaries and so on.
After the boss's wife said these words, Li Xiang had no choice but to leave. He didn't want to put the boss's wife in a difficult position. After all, it was not easy for them. Every family had its own difficulties.
It was really difficult for a hero to be poor. When would he be rich? Then his aunt would be able to let his aunt live a better life.
It was a pity that he didn't know any friends in Chengdu. Even if he wanted to borrow money, he didn't know who to turn to.
At this time, Li Xiang saw Huang Xu run over and shouted, "Li Xiang, your girlfriend is here again."
Li Xiang looked at the door of the express station subconsciously. Sure enough, he saw that the beauty named Gu Sining was waiting for him at the door. The red Ferrari was not parked next to her, but a white Porsche. The fair, rich, and beautiful woman was really fair, rich, and beautiful.
Gu Sining happened to see Li Xiang. She smiled and waved to Li Xiang, asking him to come out quickly.
Li Xiang was a little worried at first. But when he saw Gu Sining, he suddenly thought of something. After hesitating for a long time, he finally walked over shamelessly …
