The Dry Sister-in-law

  "Alright! We're all adults now, what's there to be shy about? Look at you, I'm already convinced by you. Fine, let's not talk about it anymore, first go eat something, today I'll treat." Zhang Xuan waved her small hand and turned around to enter the driver's cabin.

  I couldn't help but smile wryly, glanced at Mao Mao, who blushed and got into the passenger seat. I had no choice but to sit in the backseat, leaving me alone to daydream while the two in front chattered away.

  Very soon, Hummer arrived at the largest self-service restaurant in Hua County...

  I walked out of the Hummer and took a look at the three big words "Self-service" at the entrance, I suddenly felt depressed.

  "Xuan Jie! You're treating me to dinner and you bring me to a buffet? You're too stingy! You can afford a Hummer, but you can't even spend money on a decent meal? This one meal is not even worth the gas money it took for you to get here. Are you intentionally trying to bully me, a poor person?" I said, looking at Zhang Xuan in protest.

  "Hey kiddo, don't you know that eating here is very atmospheric? My money isn't just money, it can't withstand waste! Don't you know that having a buffet helps cultivate relationships? If you don't want to eat, then forget it!" Zhang Xuan said as she pulled Mao Mao's hand and headed inside, I had no choice but to follow obediently behind them.

  The self-service meal here, three people in total spent less than two hundred yuan, it's really cost-effective. If I eat here every day, I can afford it too, let me treat them to a month and I can afford it. But on the other hand, the food here is indeed good, for someone like me who has just gone through hard times, this place can be said to be heaven.

  In the past, every day was like a compressed biscuit, drinking some water, wanting to eat meat, and having to go hunting myself, and then I had to cook it myself. The time spent in the jungle can be said to have experienced the feeling of the Red Army crossing the grassland. Fortunately, there were fewer people at that time, and food would not be scarce. Our equipment was also more advanced than during the Red Army's crossing of the grasslands. We still learned a lot from the spirit of the Red Army, so now I am a good child who does not picky eat. Facing the food in front of me, I swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva unconsciously.

  The whole table was full of beef dishes. Mao and Zhang Xuan took a few bites casually, then sat aside watching me eat, making me feel a bit embarrassed.

  "Can you two stop staring at me like that? It's making me feel weird."

  "That's because your eating face is really too good-looking, I've never seen anyone with an eating face like yours before."

  "That can only mean you two are ignorant and inexperienced, my strength is beyond your imagination."

  "I just want to know what you do, why your hands are so good, and how they can jump directly onto the car roof. I'm really curious about your work." Zhang Xuan said, looking at me with her chin in her hand.

  "Considering you're treating me to dinner, I'll tell you - I'm a veteran, currently unemployed, and a vagrant." I said with my mouth full, after taking a big swig of beer.

  "Why don't you be my bodyguard? You've seen how good my relationship with Mao Mao is, so I'd feel at ease if you were my bodyguard. The two of you can also spend more time together, and I even helped Mao Mao find a good job in Hua County. What do you think?"

  Mao looked at me, feeling like he was expecting my response. I thought for a moment, "Can I go back and think about it some more? I don't want to make a rash decision on this kind of thing. Although being a bodyguard is a great opportunity, I still need to consider it carefully. After all, this isn't a small matter. What do you think?"

  "Alright! You'd better think it over carefully, such opportunities are rare, if you miss this village there won't be another shop. Zhang Xuan took a sip of wine and looked at me with relish, "Although I don't know what happened between you and that Chen Xue, nor do I know how good your feelings for each other are, but what I want to say is, Mao Mao is my good sister, I don't hope she'll casually marry some man. I know she likes you, you two being together is absolutely your good fortune, you should know, finding someone who loves yourself is not as good as finding someone who loves you, believe me."

  I stopped eating and looked up at Zhang Xuan, "Can you not mention this matter? I know that Mao Mao likes me, but she also knows that I like Chen Xue. However, now I don't want to bring up any topics related to Chen Xue. I hope you won't provoke me, I really don't care if you're a woman or not, in my eyes, nothing is irreconcilable."

  Zhang Xuan looked at me with a serious expression, her eyes changed, knowing that she had touched my taboo. However, she immediately recovered and said, "Since you're not afraid of anything, then why don't you just take Momo tonight? I'll help you find a bridal chamber, it will definitely be the most luxurious and beautiful one in Huaxian County. What do you say?"

  When I heard this, I was instantly defeated by this woman. Now I really want to know how this woman got to know Mao Mao. These two people are simply two extreme individuals.

  "Mao Mao, can you tell me how you met this woman? I'm really curious about your acquaintance experience now."

  Mao looked at Zhang Xuan and then turned to me, saying: "This is a long story, you tell it!"

  Zhang Xuan cleared his throat and began to boast, "As for how Wang Bingbing and I met, that's a story that could fill an entire book. This is a objective account, so listen carefully. It was a sunny afternoon with clear air..."

  Actually, the whole thing was very simple. Mao Mao originally came here to travel, but encountered a flying car thief who snatched Mao Mao's bag. Mao Mao chased after him, and at that time, Zhang Xuan happened to see it. Zhang Xuan, this big-hearted guy, directly drove his Hummer to knock down the flying car thief. Later, when making a record at the police station, Zhang Xuan insisted that he did it himself, saying that he saw the flying car thief bullying a female compatriot and couldn't bear to see her being bullied, so he knocked him down with his car. However, Mao Mao insisted that the flying car thief was doing something bad and accidentally bumped into Zhang Xuan's Hummer.

  This matter made the police uncle also feel depressed for a while. In the end, it was the director who spoke up, after all, neither of the two people had done anything seriously wrong, and Zhang Xuan's family was also very influential in the local area. The flying car thief stealing things was also a fact, and Zhang Xuan's family had already begun to bail him out.

  In the end, the great police uncle decided to directly deal with the flying car thief, and the two people were released on the spot. They even gave Zhang Xuan a good citizen flag, although this kind of thing was particularly insignificant in the eyes of this young lady, but it was still loudly publicized by her family members. Zhang Xuan's father also liked to do such things, after all, it was his own daughter.

  In the end, they even went on TV, and at that time, it was simply glorious. Later, the two people met and fell in love, and Zhang Xuan helped Mao Mao find a good job in Hua County with the help of her family. And then there was no more to say.

  But I heard an important piece of information from here, Zhang Xuan's aunt is Li Tianxiang's wife, Zhang Xuan's father is Li Tianxiang's business partner, the two are sworn brothers, and Zhang Xuan is Li Tianxiang's goddaughter.
