Suddenly, a head appeared in front of her eyes, and Jian Qiao was almost startled.

A face that looked vaguely like the bed and breakfast owner's wife poked out from under the sewing machine. As soon as she saw them, she stood up.

"You are the guests at my sister's B&B, right? She just called me and asked me to entertain you!"

Jian Qiao didn't expect the landlady to be so enthusiastic. She nodded and then looked at the small shop.

"Little sister, what shoe size do you wear?"

Jian Qiao's eyes were locked on a pair of black boots on the shelf. Although they were simple in style, they looked very warm.

"Boss lady, are these pairs available in size 36?"

The proprietress hurriedly walked over, rummaged through a pile of shoe boxes, and finally found a pair of size 36.

"Try to see if it fits."

Jian Qiao sat down on the bench and was about to put the shoes on her feet. At this time, the landlady quickly took out a pair of insoles from the sewing machine.

"I made this myself. It's stuffed with enough cotton. You can put it inside your shoes to make it warmer."

Jian Qiao did not refuse and reached out to take it.

Only then did the proprietress look at the young man beside her.

She only looked at her roughly, then turned to look at Jian Qiao with some embarrassment.

"Little sister, your husband is so handsome, and you are good-looking too. As the old saying goes, you two are a perfect match!"

Jian Qiao wanted to explain that they were not in this kind of relationship, but she gave up the idea when she saw that the face of the young man beside him softened a little.

While she asked him to find a pair of shoes that he liked, she pulled the boss's wife and asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you know where Li Hui's family lives?"

The woman's expression changed, "Why do you ask this?"

Jian Qiao was sure that what flashed through her eyes just now was fear.

She also frowned suddenly, pretending to be very embarrassed.

"To be honest, we just came to this village two days ago and we made a grudge against someone. The man claimed to be Li Hui's son and had connections in many places. He also threatened to kill us. I'm not I was scared and wanted to find out, is this Li Hui really as powerful as he said?"

The woman looked sympathetic, "Is his son harassing you?"

Jane Qiao nodded.

The woman's expression immediately turned disdainful, "This guy relied on having a rich father, and all the beautiful girls in the village were spoiled by him. Later, when it wasn't enough, he often went to my sister's B&B. , specifically targeting foreign tourists. My sister is a woman, and it’s not easy to run such a big B&B, so she can only swallow her anger. I didn’t expect that he would be even more shameless this time and dare to attack you!"

It was probably because the businessmen always had a sharp eye. She could tell at a glance that they were not ordinary people, and they were willing to walk into her store to buy her things, which surprised her.

Now that she heard her talking about this matter, she felt vaguely that Li Hui's son might have provoked a great big shot this time.

The Li family has been domineering in the village and town over the years, but they just opened a supermarket in the village, hoping that everyone would remember their good deeds.

I bother!

The woman pulled Jian Qiao's clothes and whispered, "Li Hui's son is a well-known local gangster in our area. He also has a bunch of younger brothers. You'd better not confront them head-on."

Jian Qiao seemed to understand, "So his father is really as powerful as he said? How did he make his fortune?"

The woman couldn't help showing contempt on her face, and her voice became even lower.

"I heard that Li Hui did something shameful to get the money, but no one knows the details, but it has been spread everywhere that the money is unclean. It has been spreading for more than ten years."

At this time, Gu Yanchuan walked towards them. As soon as the landlady saw him, she quickly stood up eagerly.

"Little handsome boy, don't you like anything?" The young man always cherished his words in front of outsiders. He just said a faint "hmm" and was completely unaware of the disappointed look on the landlady's face.

But at the end of the checkout, she still forced a pair of insoles to give to him, saying that her sister specially told her to take more care of them.

The young man looked at the pair of insoles, still a little at a loss, but Jian Qiao took them for him generously.

The two of them walked outside. The sun outside was getting stronger at that time, but the cold wind was still raging. Jian Qiao only felt the rustling wind, which made her face hurt.

The young man held her hand tightly and pulled up her hat for her. Jian Qiao turned to look at him and couldn't help laughing.

"Little handsome boy, you seem to be very lovable."

From the moment she entered the shoe store, the landlady kept staring at him again and again. Later she saw that he was leaving, and she felt a little regretful to the naked eye.

Gu Yanchuan knew that she was teasing him, and his handsome face tightened.

"Sister, don't make such a joke."

Jian Qiao stretched out her hand and pinched his face, "Tell me, our Xiaoyanchuan is so popular, but we were taken down by me, don't you think it's a pity?"

The boy couldn't tell whether she was serious or joking for a moment, and thought she was unhappy.

He leaned down and shook his head stubbornly.

"It's not a pity."

He has got his moon, and he has no regrets in his life.

Jian Qiao looked at his appearance at this time and realized that his joke was over.

She responded with a smile, and then circled around him, extremely excited.

Suddenly, at the canteen at the entrance of the village, she saw the woman she had seen in the supermarket yesterday.

She was still standing with several women, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand and cracking them. Her lips were flying as she chewed the melon seeds while talking to the people around her. Her posture looked very much like the kind of village information in rural TV dramas. member.

Jian Qiao adjusted her clothes, then patted Gu Yanchuan's clothes and motioned for him to squat down.

"You go back to the B&B first, I'll be back soon."

His face was too eye-catching, and he was afraid that he would be surrounded by the group of women as soon as he appeared.

She didn't want to have to think of ways to pull him out when the time came.

The young man shook his head stubbornly, "I don't trust you."

Jian Qiao was full of confidence, "Don't worry, I'll go get some information and I'll be back soon. Everything will be fine."

"I will go with you."

Seeing that he knew nothing about her charm, Jian Qiao was helpless.

She pointed to the distance and then to his handsome face.

"Believe it or not, they will surround you as soon as you show up. Don't call me to save you then."

The young man was a little confused. Just as he was about to continue asking questions, he saw Jian Qiao smiling helplessly.

"You really don't know anything about your own charm."

After saying that, without waiting for him to speak, she pushed him to the other side of the road, and then she walked towards the canteen with great courage.
