Su Qingliu screamed and wanted to jump onto the vegetable rack.

Seeing a catastrophe right before her eyes, Su Qingyu was so angry that she wanted to kick someone.

“Stop!” a loud shout.

Everyone present turned around to look…

Su Qingyu saw Lu Bocheng’s friend Liu Juye walking towards the shop. Su Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was walking in the light and shadow, with an aura of two meters and eight.

This might be a thigh, you should hold it.

“Oh, it’s Brother Liu. Are you here to buy vegetables too?” The leader greeted him with a smile on his face.

Liu Juye glanced at the man indifferently and didn’t reply to him.

He turned around and greeted Su Qingyu. After a few pleasantries, he saw the vegetable leaves and juice on the ground, then turned to face Hua Bao and the others.

“Hǔtóu, Hua Bao, it seems that you didn’t listen to what my father said to you last time. You followed your eldest brother to the quarry next door to make a lot of money, why did you come back to our town to earn these small amounts of money?”

The one called Hǔtóu smiled quickly, “I’ve heard it, I’ve heard it. How can we not listen to your father? The money next door is fast, but there are many people. My eldest brother is still fighting for the territory. Let’s wait until he consolidates the territory before following him.”

Liu Juye glanced at him and said, “That’s your business. My father can’t control the town next door. But our Fengting Town is under his control, so you have to give my family some face. You went too far, and he was refuted in front of the county magistrate, and everyone is embarrassed.”

“That’s right. We didn’t know this young lady knew your family. If we knew that, we wouldn’t dare to come to her house, right?”

Could Liu Juye believe his lies?

In a cold voice, he said, “This Su Shi is the wife of my sworn brother, who has gone to the front lines to protect our homeland. If you continue to disturb his household, I will not stand for it!”

“Oh, I don’t dare. Sister, you should have told me that earlier. I admire men who defend their country the most. I lost several brothers on the battlefield, and I respect the families of soldiers the most. In this case, I won’t accept the protection fee, I won’t accept it.”

As he said this, he was about to take people away.

Su Qingyu glanced at him, grabbed a handful of silver coins from the cash box and stuffed them into his hands: “Brother Hutou, don’t think it’s too little. It’s really not much to make. Now that people have opened several similar shops, I don’t make much money every day.”

Hutou took a look at the broken silver and copper coins that were stuffed into his hand. It should be about one or two taels, and the resentment in his heart was relieved a lot.

He said with a grin, “Sister is sensible. Then I will shamelessly accept the money for the wine.” After that, he bowed to Liu Juye and left with his men.

A lackey looked at the copper coins in his elder brother’s hand and felt a little indignant. Originally, he could receive a fixed amount of money every month, but now, it’s less than half, and he won’t receive the money in the future.

“Brother, he is just a small official without even a rank, why should we give him face?”

When Hu Tou heard this, he shouted, “You know nothing! In such a big town, how come others don’t take up the office but the Liu family does? There are scholars in Fengting Town besides the Liu family. They have connections above them! Connections, you know! Can your thin arms break against their thick thighs? If it affects the boss’s business in the quarry, who can he spare? He throws so much money into the county government every month, and he doesn’t even care about the money from Fengting Town. Will you fill the boss’s anger or should I?”

The little minions lowered their heads after being scolded. Hua Bao stood aside, deep in thought.

In the shop, Su Qingyu thanked Liu Juye.

“It’s a small matter. In Fengting Town, everyone still gives my father some face. When Bo Cheng left, he asked me to take good care of you. I have been busy recently and couldn’t take care of you. I’m sorry that you had to face this.”

Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment and asked, “He still told you these things?”

Liu Juye smiled and said, “Yeah. We played together since we were young, and we went out to spend money together… and drank together. When he left, he was afraid that you would be wronged if you stayed in the Lu family, so he asked me to pay more attention to you. There are not many people in this world that he truly cares about, and you, he was always worried about when he left.”

After he finished speaking, he saw that Su Qingyu was a little dazed, so he glanced at her, smiled and said, “We all know what Bocheng likes. He likes plump and fair women. He just heard that his stepmother had selected for him a girl from the countryside… um…”

“Thin, dark, not fair or plump at all?” Su Qingyu added.

“Haha, yes.”

Liu Juye laughed immediately when he saw her speak so openly.

Thinking back to the first time he met Su Qingyu in the wine shop, and looking at Su Qingyu now, she seemed different. Although she was still not fat, she didn’t look like the skinny and dark girl at all.

“At that time, Bo Cheng was so angry that he cursed his stepmother, saying that she couldn’t stand seeing him do well and was afraid that the woman he married would be better than her son. So he jumped up and down and said that he wanted to cancel the engagement…”

Tsk, this was something that guy would really do.

“Why didn’t he come to my house to cancel the engagement?”

“Later… I don’t know how he figured it out. He even told us that country girls are simple and honest and can keep their promise.”

Hehe……

“Why does he like fat and fair women?” She wouldn’t believe this obsession without any cause and effect.

“Ah, he didn’t tell you?” Liu Juye was a little surprised.

Su Qingyu shook her head.
Liu Juye sighed deeply, “The last impression his mother left on him was too deep. She was tortured by illness and had changed her appearance… He was determined to find a plump and fair woman since he was a child, with some flesh on her body and face, skin as white as cream, and a face that showed a blessed look. He probably also looked down on his stepmother’s type, um… the kind that was weak and frail, he didn’t like them at all.”

Tsk tsk…that guy absolutely didn’t want to see another Wu Shi.

Thinking of that guy, Su Qingyu’s heartstrings were inexplicably plucked.

“If you have any trouble in the future, come to me, or ask someone to pass on a message to me. As long as I am in Fengting Town, I will protect the homes of several good friends. Let them feel at ease on the front line. Alas, I don’t know when I can get together with them to drink and brag…”

Su Qingyu was silent.

Whether it was a broken arm or a broken leg, she just hoped he could be alive.

“Have you received his letter?” Liu Juye asked again.

“No. They were on the march, so they probably had no chance to write or send letters. Do you know which army they will be assigned to and where they will be sent?”

Liu Juye shook his head: “We can’t find out these things yet. They should still be concentrated in a training camp somewhere, and they shouldn’t be pulled to the front line so early. As for where they will be assigned, we have to wait until the training is over. If the border is unstable, the training time will be short, but I haven’t heard any news of large-scale border disturbances recently.”

“That’s good. Be more prepared before going to the front line, and you can increase your chances of survival.”

Liu Juye glanced at her and comforted her, “Don’t worry, he will survive. Although this kid has been wild since he was a child and has not been good at studying, he has been lucky since he was a child and has always met noble people who help him.”

Seeing Su Qingyu’s interested face, knowing that Bo Cheng probably didn’t tell her, he smiled and started talking…
