Otherworldly Merchant

I was extremely surprised and bewildered to look at her.

“I... would like to buy you a cup of coffee, please?” Zhao Yihan's expression was somewhat embarrassing, she bit her lips tightly, and her two men consciously tightened their corners. This is an old habit she left behind when she went to school, and she dragged her clothes as soon as she was nervous.

She used a lot of force and the bone joint on her fingers was a little white.

Apparently, she must have gained a lot of courage to say this in public!

I couldn't figure out what she was going to do for a while. I could see her face like this. Seriously, I couldn't bear to say no.

“Okay.” I nodded happily.

As soon as Zhao Yihan listened to my promise, such as a breath of relief, he didn't say a word, and directly got rid of people coming to me.

“Zhang Jiulin, take it easy. ”

“Hey, can you do it? No, why don't I go? ”

“I have good medicine in my car. I don't need to bring you some. ”

With alcohol, the crowd scoffed with a loud and unscrupulous voice.

Money's nostrils are smoking, looking at our backs with anger and hatred, squeezing our fists, but there's nothing we can do.

Zhao Yihan died with his head down, shy of even looking at me, only to speed up his footsteps.

I took a taxi on the side of the road. Before I opened the door, Zhao Yihan hurried in.

“Maple Tree Cafe.” As soon as I got in the car, Zhao Yihan quickly reported the address to the driver.

Looks like she wants to get out of here as soon as possible, and she's afraid to see those ridiculous eyes and hear those unscrupulous laughs.

But knowing that, why would she do something so unusual?

She didn't say, and I didn't have to ask.

We sat quietly without a word.

But the driver was very interesting. He saw the two of us in the mirror. He thought it was a mess. While driving, he persuaded the couple to quarrel without revenge. Bedside quarrels and a couple of hundreds of days of favors.

The more I heard, the funnier it was, but Zhao Yihan's face became redder. He turned his head and looked out the window. He would never dare look at me again.

At last, Zhao Yihan dumped a hundred dollar bill and almost ran away from the car.

I followed along with amusement and curiosity.

Until the elegant seats were chosen and the waiter brought us two cups of blue mountain coffee with a strong aroma, Zhao Yihan's face was still red tide.

She lowered her head and squeezed the coffee spoon tightly, slowly but constantly stirring.

I can see her mood spinning like a cup of foam spinning all the time.

I couldn't guess what she was going to say, much less ask, and I had to sit around and wait.

Almost twenty minutes later, Zhao Yihan raised his head: “I'm sorry, I called you so abruptly. But I really need your help! ”

I didn't speak, just nodded slightly, indicating that she would continue.

“Zhang Jiulin, the other students don't know your details, but I know very well. You have opened a small store, but your store is fighting gold every day. Don't say it's too much money. Even if you bring all your classmates' household wealth together, you don't have more than one-tenth of it! It's just that you're very low profile and don't want to show off. ”

I was surprised when she said that.

She seems to know me very well, but what does that mean? Are you borrowing money from me?

“You open a shady store that specializes in accepting things no one else dares to collect. Zhang Jiulin, the first known shady person in the country, is you.” She looked up and looked at me like she was asking, “Am I right? ”

Now that she knows, I didn't mean to hide it, I just nodded with a smile.

“Can you do me a favor?” Zhao Yihan is full of prayer.

“What, did you run into something evil?” I picked up the coffee and sipped it gently.

“Probably...” Zhao Yihan replied with some uncertainty.

“Tell me about it.” I let go of the coffee and put on a very relaxed position so that she can also relieve the stress and speak freely.

Then, Zhao Yihan remembered intermittently.

Turns out this happened to her husband, who had been married for many years, who was her childhood neighbor, two green and plum horses, very deeply affectionate.

Both families are in the countryside and are extremely poor.

However, they were all in competition and had been among the top grades from childhood to college, and in the middle of the exam, both students entered key high schools.

The moment they received the letter of admission, they held hands and ran mad in the wilderness for a long time, laughing and shouting.

But as soon as they calmed down, they were silent.

Because both of their families are very poor and cannot afford a high school student.

So, it's destined to be an empty joy.

Later, the boy bit his teeth hard and tore his notice to pieces.

Zhao Yihan was surprised to just ask, the boy suddenly cut off the iron: “Read the book, I'll give it to you! ”

He said he would do it, and the next day, before dawn, he ran south with his old covered rolls.

Since then, Zhao Yihan has received a remittance form on time every month without a detailed mailing address - the boy feared that she would be unwilling to let go of her studies and work with herself, deliberately failing to fill in the address.

That's it, the boy's been giving her three years of high school.

This is also why in high school, so many rich children threw olive branches at her, but she refused ruthlessly because she already had a heart!

After high school, Zhao Yihan no longer wants to drag the boy.

But the boy heard that she had taken the Beijing Foreign Language School and insisted that she finish. And wrote a long letter saying you were dreaming about us, a college dream! You have no reason to give up our dreams. The letter is full of tears.

Zhao Yihan cried all night holding the letter.

Three years of high school, four more years of college.

The boy never showed up, only a timely remittance note, and a passionate letter.

Boys are mailing more and more money, and it's getting denser.

He said not to bitter ourselves, but what others have, we have to have. Our dreams are fulfilling, don't leave any flaws! And told Zhao Yihan that he was now appreciated by his boss and his salary was quite high, so let Zhao Yihan not worry.

Zhao Yihan has always believed that life is gradually getting better.

But one day, she accidentally saw a photograph in a magazine, a reported literature on a coal mine accident, taken in the field.

There was a young man with a broken leg in the photograph, struggling to climb out in the pit.

The young man was covered in black and revealed only a bite of white teeth with a tight rope around his waist and a large basket filled with coal mines at the other end.

The young man's whole body was tight and tight, and his expression was painful, but he had a very tenacious light in his eyes.

Zhao Yihan recognized it at a glance, this is the boy!
