As soon as Li Fengmei started speaking, Wang Ping and Sun Aiqin fell silent.
Gu Xiaobei was busily stacking bricks for his own coal shed when Qin Li ran in like a little whirlwind, so hastily that her hair was wet and plastered to her face, and her little face was red and flushed.
When Qin Li saw Gu Xiaobei in the yard, she stopped, bent over, and rested her hands on her knees to catch her breath.
"Did you run all the way from the town?" Gu Xiaobei put down his shovel and came over.
"Tired... I'm... exhausted...," Qin Li stood up straight, panting unevenly, "Bastard... said... I'm not... from... your... residential area, won't give... me a lift..."
Gu Xiaobei was surprised. Chang Yuan knew Qin Li, this must have been Xiangmin's younger brother - Xiangyang.
"Quickly come in with me and take a rest." Gu Xiaobei was about to drag Qin Li upstairs.
"No, you're busy, I'll rest a bit then help you." Qin Li looked around, picked up a brick, and sat down under the shade of a tree.
