Chapter 24: The Robber Robbed

“No, no, my name is Zhou Yi (Monday).” The man quickly shook his head.

“Why not call yourself Zhou Liu (Saturday)?” Su Luoluo said.

“Why?” Zhou Yi asked, puzzled.

Because weekends are days off.

Seeing Su Luoluo staring at him without speaking, Zhou Yi felt a chill run down his spine. He chuckled nervously, “My grandpa gave me this name.”

“Uh… okay.” Su Luoluo withdrew her gaze.

“Killing someone will land you in jail. I really know I was wrong. I definitely won’t do it again next time,” Liu Bo’er said, then cried out in humiliation, “Mom, I really know I was wrong. Mom, I won’t do it again.”

His three younger brothers looked at their boss in shock. Their boss was truly flexible.

“Uh…” Su Luoluo had unexpectedly gained a son!

“Who said I wanted to kill anyone? Hand over all the money on you.” Su Luoluo lightly tapped Liu Bo’er’s cheek with the knife in her hand.

Liu Bo’er’s eyes widened. He never imagined that one day, he would fail at robbery and be robbed instead.

“Or, do you want to try some of my other stuff?”

Seeing that the group didn’t move but instead glared at her angrily, Su Luoluo smiled slightly.

The three thugs took a step back. They found the ugly woman before them somewhat strange and dared not resist, fearing further torment. They could only hand over all their money.

Lu Xunye, watching from the alley entrance, couldn’t help but mutter, “Wow.” He turned to his two friends, “The ugly woman isn’t just a shrew, she’s also insidious. She’s robbing the robbers.”

In the alley, Su Luoluo looked at the crumpled money in her hand and twitched her mouth. “Three yuan, six mao, and eight fen (3.68 yuan).”

“With this little money, how dare you go out?” Su Luoluo looked at Liu Bo’er and the others with disdain.

“We didn’t have any money, so we came out to make some,” Liu Bo’er mumbled, head down.

“Is robbing the way to make money?” Su Luoluo raised her hand and slapped Liu Bo’er on the head. Disciplining a gang leader was as easy as disciplining a grandson.

“Aren’t you the same?” Liu Bo’er blurted out.

After saying this, he regretted it instantly. He wished he could slap himself.

As expected, another blow landed on his head.

“Can I be the same as you? I’m teaching you a lesson: what goes around comes around. The glamorous world is alluring, but without the strength, you’ll get slapped in the face.”

Su Luoluo took the three yuan, six mao, and eight fen and turned to leave.

“Comrade, Mom…” Liu Bo’er hurriedly called out.

“What? You want your money back?” Su Luoluo turned back, her gaze lightly falling on Liu Bo’er, making him feel a thousand pounds of weight.

“No, no, can you give us the antidote?” Liu Bo’er’s swollen face showed fear, and he quickly shook his head.

It was just some itching powder; it would be fine in two days. But Su Luoluo wouldn’t tell them that.

“See you next time, maybe,” she smiled and continued walking.

Liu Bo’er stood up, and Zhou Yi helped him.

“Spit!” Liu Bo’er spat in the direction Su Luoluo left, viciously saying, “Ugly woman, you wait for me! Liu Bo’er will get even for today!”

“…” Three younger brothers: That’s your mother.

“Yes, yes.” Zhou Yi quickly came to his senses and echoed like a lackey.

Liu Bo’er slapped Zhou Yi on the head, “Why did you hand over all your money? Are you stupid?”

Zhou Yi grumbled inwardly: Aren’t you the same?

“Ah…”

“So itchy…”

The four of them started scratching themselves comically.

As soon as Su Luoluo turned and walked towards the alley entrance, the three people at the entrance had already hidden themselves.

Watching Su Luoluo leave, Fu Yichen’s lips curled up unconsciously. This person was really interesting.

Fu Bojing, seeing his cousin’s smile, felt very complicated.

“Damn it, Old Fu, you’re done for!” Lu Xunye turned his head, saw the curve of Fu Yichen’s lips, and shouted.

Fu Yichen and Fu Bojing turned to look at Lu Xunye.

“You’ve fallen in love,” Lu Xunye said dramatically.

“Boring.” Fu Yichen expressionlessly withdrew his gaze and lifted his long legs to leave.

“I’m right…”

“Old Fu, I understand that everyone’s tastes are different, but your taste is too strong. This makes it hard for me.” Lu Xunye chased after him.

Fu Bojing frowned and remained unusually silent.

The three arrived at the town’s guesthouse.

Fu Yichen, walking in front, suddenly stopped.

“Why did you stop so suddenly? Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise, my nose would have been ruined,” Lu Xunye almost bumped into Fu Yichen’s back and complained.

“Brother Fu!” A sweet voice sounded from ahead.

Lu Xunye poked his head out from behind Fu Yichen and saw a figure in a goose-yellow dress standing at the entrance of the guesthouse.

The woman was pretty, quiet, wearing a long dress, standing gracefully, like a blooming flower.

“Shuyan, why are you here?” Lu Xunye’s eyes lit up, and he happily walked towards Du Shuyan.

“I came to find Brother Fu.” Du Shuyan smiled, her watery eyes looking at Fu Yichen, as if filled with tender affection, her fair cheeks flushed with shyness.

“This isn’t a place you should be.” Fu Yichen frowned, his stern face devoid of much emotion, his tone cold and hard.

The smile on Du Shuyan’s face froze. Looking at this man with an iron face and no mercy, her face turned red, this time not from shyness, but embarrassment.

“Old Fu, how can you talk to a female comrade like that? It’s not conducive to harmony,” Lu Xunye didn’t expect Old Fu to still be that way when he saw a beautiful female comrade, not giving any face, colder than steel.

Fu Yichen coldly glanced at Lu Xunye, his face cold, and walked past Du Shuyan into the guesthouse.

Fu Bojing looked at Du Shuyan, frowned, and also walked into the guesthouse.

Du Shuyan was very embarrassed and felt complicated.

Perhaps because she had interacted with Fu Yichen earlier, some things had changed.

In her past life, when they met, although he wasn’t enthusiastic, he was polite and considerate of her feelings, unlike his coldness now.

“Shuyan, don’t mind him. Old Fu isn’t targeting you. He’s always like that. He’s been in the army for too long, and he treats everyone like new recruits, harsh and doesn’t know how to be gentle,” Lu Xunye coughed awkwardly and comforted Du Shuyan.

Maybe before, but now… after meeting that ugly woman, Old Fu has changed.

Hearing this, Du Shuyan’s mood improved.

Yes, the matchmaker in her past life had said that Fu Yichen had been in the army for a long time, only focused on missions and training, and hadn’t interacted much with women, so he didn’t know how to be gentle.

Du Shuyan looked at the guesthouse. In her past life, she missed him, and she regretted it for life.

Now that she had a second chance, no matter how difficult it was, she must win him over and not let other women take him.

She was determined to have Fu Yichen.

—

Su Luoluo, carrying the money she earned from selling herbs and the three yuan, six mao, and eight fen (68 cents) she robbed from the thugs, returned to Qingshan Village.

As soon as she jumped off the ox cart, the village head walked towards her with a joyful expression.

Uh… Su Luoluo was surprised. Why was the village head still waiting for her?

“Xiao Luo, seeing you…” The village head stopped, looked around furtively, then leaned closer to Su Luoluo, lowering his voice, “Have you seen your biological parents? When are you planning to leave?” This girl didn’t look good, but she had a wealthy destiny.

“I’m not leaving.” Su Luoluo tugged at the rope of her backpack and walked towards the village, speaking indifferently. Why leave? That couple had disappeared.

The village head stared at Su Luoluo in shock. Was this girl stupid? She had a good life, yet she chose to suffer in this remote mountain village.

Su Luoluo just walked into the village.

“Yang Laoer’s wife, hurry up, something happened in your house!”

Wu’s sister-in-law Li Fang ran towards her with an anxious look on her face, shouting at the top of her voice.
