80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 361 Worry
Xu Chun looked away and said, "Hmm."

Li Yingtang continued, "Which school?"

Xu Chun pursed his lips: "Lin'an City Normal School".

Li Yingtang had accompanied Cheng Shi to fill out college applications and had some understanding of the schools around Yanjing. There was indeed a teachers' college in Lin'an, which was a secondary vocational school.

Cheng Shi said that when they were in junior high school, getting into a vocational school was a very remarkable thing; sometimes not a single student in an entire class would get in. Those who didn't get into vocational school would choose to go to high school and then take the college entrance exam.

He missed the cutoff score by a few points. At that time, his family didn't grow vegetables and relied solely on grain for survival. They simply couldn't afford to send him to high school, so he dropped out.

Xiao Ma and Xu Chun were classmates in junior high school.

Xiao Ma should know if Xu Chun went to a vocational school.

But Xiao Ma said that Xu Chun is a college student, which is wrong.

Based on this, she deduced that Xu Chun was a swindler who conspired with the matchmaker to deceive young women.

"Don't you have to go to school today?" she asked.

Xu Chun lowered his eyes and said, "I've taken leave. Xiao Yan, you go to work, I'll go back first. Why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight? I'm going back to school tomorrow, I don't know when I'll be back."

"Okay." Xiao Ma replied with a smile, saw him out, and returned to the shop.

Xiao Liu asked, "Xiao Ma, are you engaged?"

"No ah."

Xiao Liu: "Why would you go to someone's house for dinner if you're not engaged? Is that reasonable? Especially at night, do you think your parents would approve?"

Li Yingtang nodded slightly, agreeing.

If seen by neighbors, gossip is inevitable.

Xiao Liu continued, "Besides, I don't think he's like a college student. In my impression, college students wouldn't take time off for blind dates. Every time Ren Yuan takes time off, it's either because a family member is sick or something happens at school. The girls in our shop, I'm not bragging, are all stunning beauties if they stood on the street, but Ren Yuan ignores them all, afraid that if he gets too close to us, rumors will spread and he'll be punished by the school. But your blind date, he takes time off for a blind date. Is he afraid his studies will go too smoothly?"

Xiao Ma spoke up for Xu Chun: "The situation is different. Xu Chun's grandmother is seriously ill, and she wants to see him get married before she dies."

Li Yingtang: "A marriage to bring good luck?"

"That's it."

Li Yingtang sighed, realizing that she was going to have a wedding to ward off bad luck, yet she was so nonchalant about it; she must be a little dim-witted. "Go ahead and have the wedding. How will you know if you don't? How will you know how rushed and simple your wedding will be if you don't?"
"You guys, just hang in there. Get married after you turn twenty-two, and I'll give you all a big red envelope of five hundred yuan."

"Boss, you've got to keep your word!" Xiao Shi and the others' eyes lit up when they heard 500.

Little Horse was jealous: "Boss, you're biased. That's not fair."

Li Yingtang: "If you want fairness, learn from Xiao Shi and the others."

Xiao Ma bit her lip, her eyes reddening: "This is too much!"

Li Yingtang said innocently, "Who bullied you? Your salary and commissions haven't been reduced by a single penny."

pony:"."

After getting customers, Li Yingtang stopped paying attention to Xiao Ma.

After everyone else left work, Li Yingtang stayed behind to organize the shelves.

At this moment, Xiao Ma said, "Boss, I've made up my mind. I'm not going through with this marriage."

The boss always keeps his word.

The 500 yuan red envelope was more than the bride price given by the man.

A man's dowry is hard to come by, but a boss's red envelope is easy to get.

She's still young, so she's choosing the boss's big red envelope.

Li Yingtang raised an eyebrow. Had she finally figured it out after an entire afternoon? "Actually, I'll give you a big red envelope when you get married."

Xiao Ma's professional skills are excellent, and his minor flaws can be ignored.

Xiao Ma smiled again: "Boss, you're so kind."

Li Yingtang changed the subject: "But, your blind date's educational background is probably questionable. I once tutored a student who just got into university this year. When I was helping him fill out his college application, I learned from his application book that Lin'an Normal School is just a vocational school. If your blind date had gone to Lin'an Normal School, he would be working now."

Xiao Ma frowned: "Should I ask someone I trust for advice?"

Li Yingtang said earnestly, "Yes, marriage is a lifelong commitment. Don't you think it's too hasty to listen to the matchmaker? You two are classmates, so you must have many mutual classmates who know the truth about him. It's not too late to find out more before discussing marriage. I know you want to marry a college student, but there are fewer female college students these days. Even if they all married male college students, there would still be many left over. Isn't it easy to find someone? Be patient and wait. Being too hasty is the easiest way to make a mistake." "I...I'll listen to you," Xiao Ma said, her heart pounding.

Yes.

None of their mutual classmates mentioned Xu Chun taking the college entrance exam.

If she were to pass the college entrance exam, she would notify not only her junior high school classmates, but also her elementary school classmates.

Li Yingtang was relieved; her words hadn't been wasted: "Yes, listen to me and you can earn a 500 yuan red envelope."

Xiao Ma grinned foolishly: "Yeah, I'm off work."

"Go."

"."

Li Yingtang was using a ladder to display goods when Qin Xian saw it and gently scolded her, "You're climbing up and down again."

"Or you can come?" Li Yingtang came down.

Qin Xian took over her task: "Did that Xiao Ren ask for leave?"

"Yes, something came up at school." Li Yingtang walked to the cashier to check out the bill.

It gets dark very quickly after autumn arrives, and the shop was dark in the blink of an eye.

Li Yingtang turned on the light, counted the cash, tied it up with a rubber band, and put it in her bag.

Two men suddenly entered the store, walked straight up to Li Yingtang, pulled out knives, and said bluntly, "Hand over the money."

Li Yingtang first looked at the knife lying in front of him, then at the two men.

He has a very ordinary appearance and would not attract anyone's attention in a crowd.

Ironically, such people are even more dangerous.

She narrowed her eyes slightly: "No money."

Upon hearing this, the man with the knife brandished it. "Don't try to fool me. I saw you had a wad of cash. If you don't give it to me, you'll be dead."

The cashier counter was small and restricted, so Li Yingtang could only move to the side while shouting, "Robbery!"

"How dare you shout!" The man with the knife roared in fury, climbing onto the counter and trying to get inside to subdue Li Yingtang and rob her of her money.

Just as his right leg touched the counter, Qin Xian, who had rushed over, grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him down. Her free hand then grabbed the assailant's wrist and knocked the knife out of his hand.

Another person, seeing this, pretended to help, but Qin Xian kicked him out of the door. After falling to the ground, he curled up weakly and begged for help.

The man who lost his knife got up and tried to escape, but Qin Xian grabbed him and tied his hands behind his back.

The commotion inside the store attracted passersby to stop and watch.

Li Yingtang quickly explained the reason.

Some kind-hearted people went to find the patrol team, and someone handed them a rope, asking Qin Xian to tie the person up.

Li Yingtang: "Let's just tie her up, everyone please keep an eye on her."

A moment later, the patrol team arrived, and the couple and passersby gave statements, finally bringing the commotion to a close.

Li Yingtang said, "It seems we should let Xiao Ren leave work earlier from now on. If something like this happens, he'll be at the mercy of others."

Qin Xian said worriedly, "I'm most worried about you. After the New Year, your pregnancy will become more noticeable, and your belly will make it difficult to move around. What will you do in a situation like today?"

"I won't go out during the last month of my due date; I'll stay home and prepare for childbirth," Li Yingtang said.

Qin Xian: "Can you give up your business?"

Li Yingtang: "Make arrangements in advance."

Qin Xian's anxiety eased slightly: "If there's anything I can do, please let me know as soon as possible."

“Okay.” Li Yingtang didn’t stand on ceremony with him.

She will also gradually tell him about her business plans.

To prevent him from being completely unaware of her assets should she suddenly leave one day.
