She nodded, her tone sympathetic.
"In that case, bring one extra bento for Xiao Ran when Mom cooks tomorrow."
It was better to help if she could.
Li You had always been a stubborn but soft-hearted person.
Seeing that her mother was starting to show a good impression of Xiao Ran, the girl pursed her lips and felt much happier.
Although the girl was usually obedient, she was very smart. Since his mother had a good impression of Xiao Ran, she might as well let her mother persuade her father to help Xiao Ran's family.
At the very least, it was good to let them relax!
However, she could not say it openly. After all, her mother was already suspecting that there was something between her and Xiao Ran.
As she thought about it, the girl said calmly with a thoughtful expression,
"But this won't solve the problem. Those people who want the money definitely won't let them off."
She would only talk about reality and not subjective opinions. She would let her mother think for herself.
As expected, Li You sighed silently after hearing that.
After a while, she said, "This matter is indeed a problem. How about this? I'll tell your father when he comes back tonight. After all, we're all from the same area. We have to help them at least."
This child was indeed a little pitiful, especially since the two families knew each other. It was only right for her to help.
Ding Suiwan did not expect her mother to agree so readily. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes lit up with unconcealable surprise.
Even her tone became cheerful.
"Really! I knew Mom was the best!"
It would be best if that was the case!
Seeing the joy in her eyes, Li You smiled helplessly.
"Who knows if it will work? Alright, let's eat."
At the mention of food, Ding Suiwan's joy instantly dissipated.
Initially, she wanted to say that she had eaten, but she was afraid that she would slip up if she said too much.
After all, her relationship with Xiao Ran had almost been exposed just now.
It did not matter to her. After all, she was already pregnant. There was nothing they could do even if they were angry.
However, Xiao Ran was different. He had instructed her not to say anything.
She could not cause trouble for him.
At the thought of this, she reached out and touched her small stomach. Baby, let's eat more today for Daddy.
***
Xiao Ran had just arrived at the Internet cafe. He locked his bicycle at the entrance of the Internet cafe.
At seven o'clock, there were many more people in the Internet cafe than at noon.
He walked to the bar counter and registered his identity card account. Then, he paid six yuan and charged it for three hours.
In this day and age, there was no real-name system. Basically, they just need to register once before logging on.
The Internet administrator was a young lady called Feng Yao. She was 20 years old this year.
She took the money from Xiao Ran and smiled meaningfully.
"Did you come here at noon?"
After all, he was a student and looked like he was in his third year of high school. At the crossroads of life, if he took the wrong step, he would regret it for the rest of his life, just like her now.
No, not to mention being handsome, he still had an advantage in some aspects.
At the very least, he could be remembered instantly.
"Yes, yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
"I didn't expect you to be so addicted to the Internet."
Xiao Ran smiled. "Don't worry. My results can't be said to be the first in the entire school. It's not a problem for me to be the first in class."
It was not that he was boasting, but because of his heaven-defying photographic memory.
It was really not difficult for him to get first place.
Looking at his confident expression, Chen Yao couldn't help but laugh. She had seen thick-skinned people, but she had never seen anyone so thick-skinned.
He ran to the internet cafe as soon as school ended. He was more like the last place in class!
"You don't believe me?" Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows.
Chen Yao shook her head. Her oval face was filled with disbelief, but she still nodded seriously. "Yes, I believe you!"
After saying that, she could not help but laugh.
If she believed him, she would be a fool!
Xiao Ran shrugged. "How about this? If I get into university, how about you treat me to the Internet?"
Chen Yao nodded without thinking. "Sure, no problem."
The two of them exchanged a few words before Xiao Ran walked to the back and sat in front of the computer. He clicked on the forum and looked at his messages.
It had only been an afternoon, but there were already hundreds of comments.
Coco's Secret: "It's heartbreaking. I thought it was a short story, but brother, this is just the beginning!"
Qiang Qiang: "F*ck, this is so f*cking good-looking. Brother, can you do it faster? I'm looking forward to it!"
I'm Hungry Seeing You: This is the best book I've seen since I started posting. I strongly recommend it!
Xiao Ran roughly glanced at it. It was basically all good reviews.
He clicked on Word and continued writing. In this day and age, there was no proper writing software. It all had to depend on Word.
He began to continue writing along with the plot. He had a feeling that this book would definitely become popular in less than 100,000 words!
Xiao Ran typed really quickly. He sat in front of the computer and started typing.
Beside him was a man in his twenties. His hair was neatly combed, and he was wearing Nike sportswear and pants. He did not look like an ordinary person.
The same brand in a big city was several times more expensive than in a small city.
The guy originally thought that Xiao Ran was playing a game and could not help but feel good. What kind of game was so complicated? In the end, he was instantly stunned when he saw what Xiao Ran was doing. Good lord, this person was actually typing.
And he was so fast.
He couldn't help but wonder what Xiao Ran was writing. He moved closer to him.
After seeing the contents clearly, the guy was shocked.
Good lord, why is this plot exactly the same as the "Candle in the Tomb" that I have just read?
Could it be that the author is actually by my side?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He simply patted Xiao Ran.
"Brother, is this "Candle in the Tomb"?"
Seeing this, Ding Wenxuan instinctively looked at the person beside him and gave him a warning look.
"What are you doing? Can't you speak properly? Can't you see that he's wearing his school uniform?"
He was in the foreign trade business. To put it nicely, he was doing business. To put it bluntly, he was going to places like Hong Kong and Guangzhou to get some popular things back and sell them.
Although it was 2000 and the development had already improved,
in remote areas, new things were actually very limited, especially in a backward and remote city like Jiang City.
There were so many things that couldn't be found here.
They had to get someone to buy them.
Ding Wenxuan specialized in this. He was a middleman who earned the difference in price. He earned 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month.
At this age, many people only earned more than 1,000 yuan a month. 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month could be considered a high income. Once a person had money, they naturally did not lack lackeys.
If they followed him, they could easily earn 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. Many people fought to go with him, so her attitude was naturally especially respectful.
However, it was not just to give money and face. The main thing was that Ding Wenxuan had a good character.
He was more righteous and never mistreated others. He had a chivalrous aura.
Hence, he still had a few good brothers.
After being scolded by him, the young man beside him immediately realized that he had said something he shouldn't have. He hurriedly lowered his head and stopped talking.
Ding Wenxuan then looked at Xiao Ran with a smile. "My name is Ding Wenxuan. They all call me Brother Xuan. What's your name?"
Although he did not like to study, especially Chinese, which was simply a mess for him, he still liked people with good grades in Chinese, especially those who could write such a good novel. They were indeed talented.
"My name is Xiao Ran."
Xiao Ran glanced at him.
Ding Wenxuan patted his shoulder. "Alright, Bro. Write well. I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, he started another game.
