Auntie Li's attitude made Li Shuan's initial 30% trust instantly increase to 80%. Li Shuan knew that it was a big scandal for a girl to elope with a man. He thought that Auntie Li probably wanted to be kind to others, so she let the girl go.
When Li Shuan breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a little worried in his heart. After all, even if the third girl's matter was deliberately framed by the other party, Wang Yue's first two fiancees still died mysteriously.
Auntie Wang also saw the hesitation on Li Shuan's face. After thinking for a while, she finally said, "Brother, I know you have concerns in your heart, but our family's Wang Yue is really a good child. Moreover, we are neighbors. You know our family's situation very well. As long as you are willing to marry Xiang 'er, our family will definitely treat Xiang' er well. If you are worried, you can come and visit often."
After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she did not forget to add, "Instead of marrying Xiang 'er to a person who you don't know the background of, it's better to marry Yue' er."
Aunt Wang's words hit the bottom of Li Shuan's heart.
Especially when he thought of the day when Aunt Wang wanted to deceive him by using a fish eye as a pearl, he hesitated in an instant.
Even his relatives and friends wanted to deceive him, let alone those matchmakers who had nothing to do with him.
Although he had been here for almost a year, he was not very familiar with many people. Moreover, the children of those people he was familiar with had already been married. Even if there were one or two who were not married, he did not look down on them. Therefore, if he wanted to find a husband for Jiujiu, he had to rely on the matchmaker's help.
However, it was hard to know what was in a person's heart. If the other party wanted to do bad things, he could not do anything. Thinking of this, Wang Yue became a better choice.
However, even if Li Shuan knew that Wang Yue was a good choice, he felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought of Wang Yue's curse of his wife.
Aunt Wang saw that Li Shuan had begun to think about the possibility of Jiujiu and Wang Yue, so she did not continue to press him. Instead, she found something to do and left directly.
Because Aunt Wang looked for Li Shuan, Li Shuan did not sleep well the whole night. Naturally, he did not set up the stall the next day. Jiujiu asked Lian Shi to buy tofu pudding for her while she went to fry deep-fried dough sticks.
Because Jiujiu's tofu pudding and deep-fried dough sticks tasted exceptionally good, business was particularly good even though the stall was small.
As Li Shuan was not around, Jiujiu and Lianshi were busy until the sun was hanging in the sky. Jiujiu raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead. She looked at the tired Lianshi and said, "Go in and rest for a while. When you're done, come and take my place."
When he heard Jiujiu telling him to rest, Lian Shi's lips moved. He wanted to let Jiujiu go in first, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Jiujiu. "Rest early and come take my place. If you continue to dawdle, it will be afternoon."
Lian Shi saw Jiujiu's determined face and knew that Jiujiu would not change her mind. Thus, he nodded and turned to leave.
After Lian Shi went back, Jiujiu cleaned up the stall. She extinguished the stove under the oil pan and let the oil cool down bit by bit. After she was done, she sat on the stool behind the tofu pudding stall and ate the tofu pudding while watching the stall.
After eating a bowl of tofu pudding and filling up her empty stomach, Jiujiu was so happy that her eyes narrowed. Just as she was thinking about whether she should buy a fish to eat spicy fish this afternoon, she heard a voice. "Where is he?"
Jiujiu immediately stood up when she saw that someone was coming. She smiled and said, "You're here. What do you want to eat?"
The moment Jiujiu stood up, the person standing opposite her widened his eyes. When he saw Jiujiu's appearance, he was instantly stunned. The two dark circles under his eyes made him look extremely perverted. He raised his eyebrows and said with a perverted smile, "Give us ten bowls of tofu pudding and thirty youtiao first."
"I'm sorry, but the youtiao is sold out. How about the tofu pudding?"
Hearing Jiujiu say that the youtiao was sold out, the person's expression instantly became a little ugly. He lifted his leg and kicked the stool. He snorted and said, "You don't even have youtiao? How do you do business?"
When Jiujiu saw the group of hooligans, she felt that something was wrong. When she saw that they were making trouble, she instantly knew that they were not here to eat, but to cause trouble.
However, since they were guests, Jiujiu couldn't directly turn hostile. She just explained, "I'm sorry, we are really sold out today. Why don't you go next door and buy some crispy cakes? They taste good with tofu pudding."
Hearing that Jiujiu wanted them to buy the pastry, the face of the hooligan who was the first to make trouble became even uglier. He lifted his leg and kicked again. "If I go buy the pastry just because you want me to, wouldn't I lose face?"
Seeing the hooligan's helpless and shameless appearance, the smile on Jiujiu's face faded a lot. She looked at the hooligan standing opposite her with a gloomy face and said, "Little brother, are you here to eat or to cause trouble?"
The hooligan thought that he would scare Jiujiu, but he didn't expect Jiujiu to suddenly make trouble. After a trace of shock appeared on the hooligan's face, he immediately realized that there were more than a dozen men on his side, but Jiujiu was just a little girl.
There were so many men here, why would they be afraid of a little girl?
The hooligan snorted and lifted his leg to kick again. He raised his hand to grab Jiujiu's arm and wanted to subdue Jiujiu.
However, before the hooligan could make a move, Jiujiu directly slid to the front of the oil pot like a fish. She held the handle of the oil pot with both hands and looked at the hooligan standing opposite her. She said expressionlessly, "Guess if the oil in the oil pot in my hand is hot or cold."
Jiujiu had just put out the stove, so the oil was naturally hot.
From the hooligan's point of view, although the oil in the oil pot was as calm as the surface of a lake, from his point of view, he could see that there was constantly smoke coming out. Therefore, the oil in the oil pot was obviously hot.
The hooligan originally wanted to take advantage of Jiujiu, but he didn't expect that she would be so stubborn that she directly wanted to splash the hot oil on them.
Although the hooligan came to cause trouble, he was not stupid. When the hot oil splashed over, even if not all of it splashed on him, he still felt uncomfortable.
Therefore, even if the hooligan didn't take Jiujiu seriously, he couldn't help but retreat when he saw the oil pot in front of Jiujiu.
Just as the hooligan was thinking about whether to tell Jiujiu not to be impulsive, a low and hoarse voice with a hint of coldness came from behind. "Give me two bowls of tofu pudding."
The hooligan turned around and saw Wang Yue standing behind them.
