Chapter 185 Stop making a fuss
Ma Junjie was suddenly stunned upon hearing this.
"You like me?"
Ma Junjie shook his head in disbelief. He stretched out a hand, pretending to hit Pang Hu.
He said in a serious tone,
"Gian, stop talking nonsense!"
"Li Xuemei isn't a promiscuous woman. Don't spread rumors and ruin her reputation, or I'll beat you up!"
Fat Tiger chuckled, took a few steps forward, and said,
"Brother Jie, believe it or not is up to you."
"Although I've never had a girlfriend, I'm pretty good at judging people!"
As he spoke, Fat Tiger turned around and yanked the pants hanging on the clothesline in the yard down.
Then he strode out of the yard.
He said,
"Brother Jie, let's go!"
"Let's go back to the dorm early, then we can get a little nap!"
"This afternoon, I have to go to the factory to 'go to jail'—just thinking about it gives me a headache!"
Ma Junjie shook his head and walked into the courtyard.
Then, suddenly remembering something, he turned around and looked at the house behind him.
He silently muttered to himself,
Goodbye, Wang Na!
May you be happy and joyful on the other side!
After saying that, Ma Junjie turned around and left quickly.
Fat Tiger was pleased to see Ma Junjie following him.
he said,
"Brother Jie, stop causing trouble. I advise you to just stay in the dorm with me!"
"The dorms aren't great, but there are lots of people and the positive energy makes for a good night's sleep!"
"Look at that place we just saw, it was so eerie and scary, the room was so cold, it still gives me goosebumps!"
Ma Junjie remained silent.
However, I already had a plan in mind.
That little courtyard is definitely no longer a place we can live in.
It's just a pity that over seven hundred yuan was wasted, which is almost a month's salary.
"Damn it!" Ma Junjie spat on the ground, angrily saying.
"They say the city is full of tricks, and they're right."
Fat Tiger smiled faintly.
"Brother Jie, this is what they call learning from your mistakes."
"From now on, never try to get a bargain again; you get what you pay for!"
As he spoke, a sly smile crept across Fat Tiger's face.
"Brother Jie, it's alright, you're a workshop team leader now, your salary should be around two or three thousand."
"Losing a few hundred is nothing, don't overthink it."
Ma Junjie thought to himself, what can I think about? I can only suffer in silence.
Even if you go to that old landlord, he's not going to give you the money back.
As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the Sichuan Restaurant.
The waitress, Xiao Liu, spotted Ma Junjie from afar.
They greeted him warmly and shouted.
"Brother Jie, Brother Pang Hu, where are you going?"
Hearing the sound, Ma Junjie and Pang Hu looked towards Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu was squatting at the restaurant entrance, eating sunflower seeds, and waving at the two of them.
"Hey Jay, Fatty Tiger, come over for a chat and some sunflower seeds!"
Fat Tiger hesitated and looked at Ma Junjie.
"Brother Jie, this...?"
Ma Junjie thought for a moment; both of them had things to do that afternoon, so he prepared to decline.
"Xiao Liu, we still have..."
Before he could finish speaking, the proprietress, Li Yuanyuan, came out of the restaurant.
When Li Yuanyuan saw Ma Junjie, her eyes lit up.
He greeted them warmly, shouting,
"Ah Jie, Fatty Tiger, come sit down here!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie did not hesitate any longer.
He said to Gian, "Gian, let's go say hello and then go back right away."
Fat Tiger let out a sigh of relief, somewhat helpless.
Ma Junjie walked over to Li Yuanyuan, who then led them into the restaurant and sat them down.
With a "thud," Li Yuanyuan placed a plate of melon seeds on the table.
Then, staring intently at Ma Junjie, he asked,
"Ah Jie, have you packed all your things?"
"You're not planning to stay there anymore, are you?"
Fat Tiger was cracking open a handful of sunflower seeds when he suddenly heard Li Yuanyuan's question. He stopped and stared at Ma Junjie.
He was also extremely curious and hoped to hear a positive answer from Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie knew that Li Yuanyuan had always cared about him.
Hearing her ask so earnestly, Ma Junjie broke his silence and answered truthfully.
"Sister Yuan, I'm not staying there anymore."
As soon as the words were spoken, Li Yuanyuan and Pang Hu both breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yuanyuan smiled happily.
"Ah Jie, it should have been done a long time ago."
"How can anyone live in a place filled with such resentment?"
"There was a young man who worked there before. He was as strong as an ox before he went in, but after less than a month, he became extremely thin."
"Then he suddenly disappeared and never came to my place for meals again. When I inquired, guess what? Someone said he had died of illness."
Fat Tiger listened, his palms sweating, extremely nervous. In a moment of carelessness, he swallowed the sunflower seed shells whole.
"Cough cough cough," came the sound of Fat Tiger's violent coughing from inside the room.
Ma Junjie is alright.
Because he didn't really believe in such superstitious things.
However, after hearing Li Yuanyuan say that, he suddenly remembered something.
He stared at Li Yuanyuan and asked seriously.
"Sister Yuan, I'd like to ask you something."
"You say it!" Li Yuanyuan replied.
"Sister Yuan, I just wanted to ask you, after that woman in the house died, where did her husband go?"
Li Yuanyuan was startled and paused for a moment before speaking with a cold expression.
"Her husband moved out; I heard he found a younger woman..."
"However, they still come here occasionally, and sometimes they even come to my shop for a meal."
Ma Junjie bit his cheek and pressed on,
"Sister Yuan, what's her husband's name?"
Li Yuanyuan frowned, thought for a moment, and then remembered something and said,
"His name seems to be Zhang Chao, yes, everyone calls him Brother Chao!"
"By the way, Ah Jie, why are you asking this?"
Ma Junjie shook his head and gave an awkward smile.
"No...it's nothing."
At this moment, Ma Junjie looked at Pang Hu, slowly stood up, and said,
"Sister Yuan, Fatty Tiger has to go to work this afternoon, and I have something to do too, so we'll be leaving now."
"Let's continue our chat next time we have time."
Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger quickly reached out and grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the plate.
He stood up and said,
"Yes, yes, boss lady, I have to go to work this afternoon."
Li Yuanyuan smiled slightly and said,
"Okay, okay, you can go ahead if you have something to do."
"Come visit more often when you have time."
Ma Junjie nodded, then picked up his things and walked outside.
After taking only a few steps, Li Yuanyuan suddenly caught up and called out.
"Ah Jie, wait a minute."
Ma Junjie was startled, stopped, and turned to look at Li Yuanyuan.
"Sister Yuan, is there anything else?"
Li Yuanyuan chuckled.
"Ah Jie, I almost forgot to tell you something important!"
Ma Junjie was somewhat puzzled and didn't understand, so he asked...
"Sister Yuan, Wh...what's wrong?"
Li Yuanyuan asked with a smile in her eyes.
"Ah Jie, do you still want to find a new place to live?"
Ma Junjie was taken aback, not understanding what Li Yuanyuan meant.
However, he still answered truthfully and spoke his mind.
"Sister Yuan, to be honest, I'd like to start looking again!"
Fat Tiger, listening from the side, let out a "Ouch!" sound, utterly helpless!
Li Yuanyuan's reaction to Ma Junjie's answer was completely opposite to Pang Hu's.
She laughed heartily and said,
"Ah Jie, if you're really looking, I do know a place where you can stay!"
"Moreover, it's cheap, hygienic, and comes from a particularly clean source!"
Ma Junjie's eyes widened, somewhat excited.
Without thinking, he asked,
"Sister Yuan, where are you? Why don't you take me to see you now?"
A smile appeared on Li Yuanyuan's lips.
"Okay, okay..."
"That place is very close..."
