Qian Shumei suddenly realized that he might be looking for that note. If she handed it to him directly, what would he think? He would definitely suspect that she knew about this matter.
"I searched, there's nothing!"
Qian Shumei still lied; only this way would she be safest.
Upon hearing that there was nothing, Lin Jiashan became uneasy.
"Did Xiao Mei take it? That's even more troublesome; or is Chi Lanxiang intentionally trying to scare me? Her joke is a bit too much!"
After thinking for a moment, he calmed down and said,
"Nothing? Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong. Then did Xiao Mei say anything last night? Was she angry this morning?" Su Dan Novel Network
"No, why would she be angry?" Qian Shumei asked back with feigned confusion.
"Oh, nothing, nothing, you go ahead with your work. Don't worry about the child's tuition fees. As for your own matters, think it over and tell me!"
Lin Jiashan said this and calmly walked towards the living room.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
As soon as Qian Shumei finished speaking, she heard a child's voice from the living room: "Dad, you're back! Let me tell you, Mom said she's going to find me a tutor!"
"My dear son, come, tell Dad, why are you looking for a tutor?"
"Mom said..."
Lin Jiashan and the child started chatting in the living room.
It turned out that Hao Yumei had the idea of finding a tutor because of their child's poor math grades.
Qian Shumei paid attention. She knew that in Wu Kui City, there was a place where many university students worked as tutors. University students, of course, must be good at studying, and math for third grade would be a piece of cake for them.
This was also Qian Shumei's strength.
In some matters, she could think ahead of the Lin family, which was why the Lin family had always treated her as family.
When Liu Sandao learned about these matters, he quickly told Bai Sixiang his plan.
Bai Sixiang didn't understand why they had to go to the Lin family, but Hao Yumei was a good person, the kind of good person they should be looking for. From this perspective, they had to go to the Lin family.
According to Liu Sandao's arrangement, they arrived at Dongbian Bridge in Wu Kui City early in the morning.
It was an ancient city ruin, the predecessor of Wu Kui City, built hundreds of years ago.
Dongbian Bridge, speaking of which, was actually very narrow. It was only suitable for pedestrians to cross the river and not for vehicles.
However, this contributed to the lively atmosphere around it, with many small vendors and many university students looking for jobs there.
They mainly did tutoring, in twos and threes, each holding a "Tutor" sign.
Wu Kui City, as the capital of Jiang Jiu Province, had four or five universities within the city, all directly under the state. To be admitted to such a university, one's learning ability must be excellent.
From some year onwards, after someone sought employment here, this place became a customary "tutoring center."
Qian Shumei planned to take a look first and inquire about tutoring prices.
However, before she could cross the ancient city and step onto Dongbian Bridge, a voice called out to her: "Qian Shumei!"
Qian Shumei turned her head and saw three or five young people staring at her.
"Who are you?"
"Come here!" the leader said sternly.
Qian Shumei wanted to run towards the bridge, where there were many people, and they wouldn't dare do anything to her.
But one person had already blocked her path.
"Damn it, where do you think you're going?"
The leader cursed and quickly moved closer to her.
Qian Shumei panicked, immediately grabbed her cloth bag, and quickly turned to the left.
She was not familiar with the roads here either. In such a situation, she could only rely on instinct and intuition!
As she ran, the young men started cursing, "Bitch!"
Women were women after all, and she was also a sick person. After running only a hundred steps, she felt her heart pounding, as if she were about to faint.
"I'll die, I'll die, anyway, there aren't many days left!"
"Bitch, why are you running? If we don't see you, you're not planning to pay us back, are you?"
"I will, I definitely will, don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as I have money!"
Qian Shumei said in a pleading tone, not wanting to escalate the situation.
"Hand it over!"
"What? I don't have money right now, you don't believe me, look! This is only one hundred yuan for groceries!"
Qian Shumei said and showed them.
She absolutely could not give up this hundred yuan, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to report back to the Lin family. She had come out under the guise of buying groceries.
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense!"
The leader snatched it away, and Qian Shumei didn't even have time to react.
"You guys? Wuwuwu, you're bullying me too much!"
This was all she could do. Crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide were usually effective for women.
"Oh! A few grown men bullying a woman, what kind of heroes are you?"
Liu Sandao said, standing by the roadside, with Bai Sixiang behind him.
"Brother, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
The man saw that Liu Sandao was not polite at all.
A delicate and weak-looking person trying to be a chivalrous hero was simply a joke.
Liu Sandao was not intimidated by their words and walked straight towards them. To that man, this was simply a provocation.
Without a word, he immediately threw a punch. Striking first was his principle.
But he didn't expect that Liu Sandao wouldn't even give him a chance to fight back. He grabbed his wrist and pressed down hard. He felt his wrist was about to break.
"Mercy, good sir, mercy!"
"Tell your people to get lost, do you hear me?"
The man didn't speak, seeming unwilling. Liu Sandao applied a little more force, and with a "crack," he cried out in extreme pain, "Stop, we're leaving, we're leaving, let's go!"
The other two, who hadn't even prepared to fight back, were stunned by what they saw.
In fact, Liu Sandao was just demonstrating a minor act of heroism to save the damsel in distress. Theoretically, people like Qian Shumei were not worth such an effort.
But to enter the Lin family, he had to do this now.
When all this was over, Qian Shumei didn't react for a long time until Bai Sixiang stood in front of her with a smile.
"Mei Jie, it's okay now!"
"Ah! Xiao Xiang, look... thank you both! Last time..." Qian Shumei said, not knowing how to continue. If she hadn't had ulterior motives, perhaps their current relationship wouldn't be so awkward.
"What are you talking about? Oh, I had too much to drink that day, and I only found out the next morning that the hotel had been sealed off. We had no choice but to find other hotels to stay in," Bai Sixiang said naturally. "By the way, why are you here?"
"I, I came here to buy some groceries and also to find a tutor!"
Qian Shumei said, standing up from the ground. She felt much better now.
"Looking for a tutor? For whom?" Bai Sixiang asked casually, her tone implying no particular intention.
"Oh, right, look, I still forgot!"
