Chapter 320 You won't get away with this.

"No, don't worry, little sister. I just bought this whole truckload of fruit from you. You can calculate how much it costs and have him settle the bill for you. After that, you should go home early, since it's the New Year."

The fruit stall owner never expected such a great thing to happen.

Overjoyed, he danced around and stammered, "I, I... thank you, boss. You're sure to make a fortune this year!"

Yan Liti laughed and said, "I don't need to get rich. This year, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that my baby will be happy and healthy."

"Yes, yes, my dear girl looks like a fairy, she's destined for great wealth and honor."

As the fruit stall owner was settling accounts, Yan Liti looked at the few little children standing guard beside her, especially since they were all girls and all very thin, and she felt a little sorry for them.

I took out four apples and four bananas from the fruit stand owner's already paid fruit and handed them over one by one.

"No, no, no, comrade, this is unacceptable..."

"It's alright, let them eat." She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are all three of these little girls your children?"

"Yes." The fruit stall owner nodded, then, as if remembering something, corrected himself, "There are four. The one I'm carrying is also a girl."

"..." Yan Liti.

"The baby's father wants a boy." The fruit stall owner looked somewhat distressed. "Hopefully, the next one will be a boy."

The fruit stand owner touched his belly as he said this.

"..." Yan Liti.

Yan Liti looked at her shriveled body and slightly protruding belly, and didn't know what to say.

Yan Liti didn't say anything more after that, and the fruit stall owner focused on calculating the accounts.

Qiao Qiao buried her head and peeled a tangerine.

The little ears, hidden under the stray hairs, twitched.

She had seen plenty of cases of favoring sons over daughters back in Qiaojia Village.

Her stepmother, Chen Yulian's older sister, Chen Xiu'e, gave birth to three daughters in a row in order to have a son.

The second aunt of the Tan family is the same; the first two were both daughters.

However, it's rare to see someone like this fruit stall owner who went on to have four daughters in an effort to have a son.

Therefore, Qiao Qiao felt that she was extremely happy and lucky.

Putting aside what Shen Qingrong did to her in her past life, the Qiao family treated her very well. They never mistreated her because she was a girl, not to mention that she wasn't even the Qiao family's biological daughter.

The tangerines were easy to peel. As Qiao Qiao was being peeled by Yan Lidi while she was held in Yan Lidi's arms, everyone fell silent. Only when the fruit stall owner was doing his calculations did a loud horn suddenly sound behind him.

Yan Liti thought they were blocking other people's way into the hotel, so she carried Qiao Qiao a few more steps closer to the stall.

Wu Yu and Tang Feng also instinctively came over, flanking the two from the left and right.

But the horn behind us didn't stop; it kept blaring, sharp and piercing.

Qiao Qiao and Yan Liti then turned around and looked over.

The car had already driven into the hotel's car, and the back window rolled down, revealing a few slightly familiar faces.

It was the same group of people they had met at that temporary state-run restaurant yesterday.

The driver was the middle-aged man who had the conflict with them, while the three people traveling with him sat in the passenger seat and the back seat.

The middle-aged man was clearly honking his horn at them on purpose, and after honking, he gave them a nasty smile.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Qiao Changdong walking from the other side, and Tang Feng protecting Yan Liti and Qiao Qiao behind him.

His expression changed.

He honked his horn at Yan Liti because he didn't see Qiao Changdong and Wang Jun.

He thought the two of them were alone and was about to get revenge for yesterday when he unexpectedly saw Qiao Changdong walking over, along with a man who was just as tall and imposing as the man who had patted his shoulder yesterday.

The fire went out immediately.

On the contrary, the young man sitting in the back seat nodded politely to Yan Liti, as if he were greeting her.

Yan Liti had heard about the young man's unusual behavior from Qiao Qiao yesterday.

She became wary, but didn't show it to the young man, and even nodded slightly to him in return.

At this moment, Qiao Changdong walked over, took Qiao Qiao from Yan Liti's arms, looked at the middle-aged man in the car, and asked bluntly, "What do you need?"

The middle-aged man looked at the three men who had come up behind him. Besides Mo Haijun, there was Wang Jun from yesterday and Wu Yu, who was equally tall and imposing. He puffed out his cheeks and didn't dare to say anything.

I started the car and drove it into the hotel gate.

Qiao Changdong watched the car disappear from sight without saying anything, but his brows furrowed.

If Qiao Qiao hadn't said what she did yesterday, Yan Liti and Qiao Changdong would have thought it was a coincidence.

After all, if you're going to come to Nanzhou, you'll be traveling the same route all the way, so it's not unusual.

However, after hearing what Qiao Qiao said, neither of them dared to be careless.

"I'll have someone check." After seeing the people and car go inside, Yan Liti lowered her voice and said to Qiao Changdong, who had walked over.

Qiao Changdong had the same idea, so he didn't say anything more after hearing this.

After collecting all the fruit at the fruit stand, the final price was forty-three yuan. Yan Liti simply took forty-eight yuan and gave it to the fruit stand owner.

The fruit stall owner was overjoyed. He thanked them profusely, pushed his tricycle, carried a little girl on his back, and led the three little girls away.

Yan Liti asked the manager to bring the fruit to the hotel. She picked out a few items and had them delivered to her room, then asked him to distribute the rest as a perk for the hotel staff.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who drove his car into the hotel also showed all his displeasure on his face.

He expressed utter contempt, saying, "This country bumpkin can afford to stay in such a fancy hotel? He'd probably go bankrupt after just one night!"

The young man in the back seat smiled slightly upon hearing his words and said nothing.

The middle-aged man caught his smile in the rearview mirror and asked in confusion, "Comrade Fu, what are you smiling about? Did I say something wrong?"

“I ran into them again later. They were just driving a beat-up truck. I guess they couldn’t even afford to pay for a hotel room for one night after delivering a single shipment.”

Nanzhou is a coastal city that has been developing rapidly in recent years. Many businessmen have come here to do business, which has boosted the economy and made prices here higher than in other cities.

The cheapest room at the Yan Family Hotel where they are staying costs 98 yuan a night, not to mention the most luxurious room, which costs 388 yuan and has a very high-class name: Presidential Suite.

Upon hearing this, the young man smiled again before saying in a calm tone, "There are capable people among them."

After saying that, he offered a seemingly kind reminder: "Brother Qi, you should calm down and avoid getting into conflicts with people, otherwise you won't get away with anything from them."

The middle-aged man was shocked upon hearing this: "Really? Is there someone capable among them? Which one? Is it those two men?"
