Yue Yan felt that the price was reasonable, so she bought 10 meters first.
She had no choice but to go back and buy the hair clips. 20 hair clips for 10 cents was really expensive.
"Are these enough, Yueyue?"
Yue Yan frowned. "I have only so much money. Let's buy these first and see if they're easy to sell. If they sell in large quantities, I'll borrow money from my family."
This was her first time doing business, so she was a little lacking in confidence. She was afraid of losing money if she bought too much.
In the end, she went to the clothing factory to buy fabric. However, she did not expect to encounter a case of bullying.
A gust of wind blew past her. It was Zhou Boyan who went over to help.
Yue Yan hurriedly followed, afraid that Zhou Boyan would be implicated.
She hid at the side and did not cause trouble. If the situation was bad, she would call for help.
"What are you doing?" She could vaguely hear Zhou Boyan's voice and the laughter of a few hooligans.
After a while, the sound disappeared.
Yue Yan stuck her head out and saw a group of hooligans lying on the ground. Zhou Boyan was rubbing his wrist.
"Can you get up?" He looked down at the little fatty.
Zhou Boyan looked at her with a smile and said the gentlest words. "Girls can't learn to fight, but you can learn some self-defense methods."
Yun Cheng seemed to have seen her savior when she saw Yue Yan. "Deskmate, deskmate, help me!"
Zhou Boyan was shocked. "You know each other?"
Yue Yan wanted to say that she did not know him, but Yun Cheng was quick to spill everything. He even described himself and Yue Yan as life-and-death friends, almost saying that they were sworn siblings.
"Yes, he's indeed my deskmate."
In the end, Yun Cheng was half-carried home by Zhou Boyan. Unexpectedly, Yun Cheng's family lived in the government's family area.
Yue Yan was shocked. "You live here?"
Yun Cheng asked eagerly, "Do you want to go to my house as a guest?"
Yue Yan shook her head and rejected him. "No, I still have something on."
Zhou Boyan suddenly asked Yue Yan, "Have you thought of who to buy it from?"
Yun Cheng looked at them, but no one answered him. "What do you want to buy?"
Yue Yan immediately understood what Zhou Boyan meant.
"I wanted to buy some rags. I bumped into you on the way."
Yun Cheng said slowly, "How much do you want? I have a lot of fabrics at home."
Yue Yan looked troubled. "I want to buy rags from the clothing factory. I don't want the entire piece."
Yun Cheng was puzzled. "Then why don't you just cut it into pieces?"
Yue Yan shrugged at Zhou Boyan. Since they couldn't communicate, they had to go to the clothing factory.
The two of them turned around and were about to leave when Yun Cheng hurriedly caught up with them. "Sit at my house for a while. You saved me. My parents will definitely thank you personally."
"No need. Brother Xiaofei saved you. You can just thank him."
Zhou Boyan also refused. "I simply saw injustice along the way. There's no need to remember it."
Yun Cheng could not keep them here, so he followed them.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Yue Yan stopped. "Aren't your legs weak?"
"I… I recovered after seeing my house's door."
Yun Cheng wanted to follow them and they could not get rid of him, so they could only make small talk.
"What? You've finished your homework! You're too fast!" Yun Cheng widened his eyes.
"Yue Yan, you're amazing. You can even understand what the teacher said. I can't even learn it after being tutored by my mother every night. My mother is so angry that she wants to slap me."
Yue Yan said calmly, "If you didn't sleep in class, Auntie definitely wouldn't be so angry."
Yun Cheng chuckled.
Soon, they arrived at the clothing factory. Yun Cheng came to the clothing factory as if he was going home.
"Eh, is Little Cheng here to look for your mother?" The old man guarding the door sounded familiar.
"Didn't my mother have a meeting? I brought my friends here to buy some rags. Sir, you should have some connections, right?"
The old man glanced at Yue Yan and Zhou Boyan. They did not look like good-for-nothings. Then, he smiled and said, "Of course!"
She did not expect her deskmate to repay their kindness. Yue Yan decided to be more pleasant to him and make friends with him.
The old man walked with a limp, but he walked very quickly. After a while, he brought a female employee over.
The female employee brought Yue Yan and Zhou Boyan to the factory area. Yun Cheng wanted to join in the fun, but the old man stopped him.
"Your mother saw me just now. I said that you were here and she asked you to look for her. Did you forget your keys and can't enter the house again?"
Yun Cheng told him what happened after school. Thanks to the help of his female deskmate and her neighbor, the group of hooligans was beaten up.
The old man originally wondered if it was a self-directed act. When he heard Yun Cheng say that Zhou Boyan had beaten everyone up and not a single hair on his body was harmed, the old man suddenly had the thought of sparring with Zhou Boyan.
This gatekeeper was none other than the father-in-law of the deputy factory director. He had retired from the army. He had been on the battlefield. He only retired because his leg was injured. He did not want to laze around and be supported by his daughter and son-in-law. It was just right for him to be the gatekeeper.
Yue Yan chose a pile of colorful rags. The female employees did not want to be paid.
"We have to deal with these rags too. They can't be sold for money, so you don't have to give them to me."
Yue Yan insisted on paying, so the female employee asked her to give her two cents as a token.
The cloth in this big sack weighed at least 10 kilograms.
Yue Yan arranged to come over tomorrow afternoon to get the goods and asked the female employee to help her place these huge sacks in the corner.
The female employee promised, "Don't worry, you can come over at this time tomorrow."
Yun Cheng met his mother. His mother had pulled his ear and scolded him for being stupid. Today, she heard that her precious son had been robbed and extorted. She hugged her son and cried.
"It's all your father's fault. He refused to send you to school in a car. His son was bullied, so why is he still trying to be the mayor?!"
Yun Cheng comforted her mother clumsily. When he saw Yue Yan, he patted her mother's shoulder.
