70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 120: Helping Xu Xue Resolve Trouble

"Alright, let’s go." Xu Mumu didn’t refuse, and while Xu Minglei wanted to tag along, Xu Mumu decided not to take him this time; one companion was enough.

Fortunately, the little guy had been there once yesterday, so he wasn’t too disappointed about missing it today.

"Sis, I want an ice pop, buy one for me," Xu Minglei said expectantly, remembering the sweet, icy taste from yesterday.

"Okay, but it might melt on the way back." Xu Mumu said, pinching Xu Minglei’s cheek while glancing at the weather.

"Wrap it in that piece of clothing, then it won’t melt as fast." Xu Minglei suggested, eyeing the old shirt inside the basket Xu Mumu was carrying.

"Alright, I’ll bring each of you one when I come back." Xu Mumu nodded with a smile.

The little brothers have been quite well-behaved lately, indulging them a little isn’t a big deal.

With Xu Jiaojiao in tow, the two headed towards the town. It wasn’t quitting time yet, so there were still plenty of people working in the fields.

"Big sis, what’s the supply and marketing cooperative like?"

"I’ve never had an ice pop, big sis, what does it taste like?"

"Are there buildings in town? Are they tall?"

Listening to the little girl’s cheerful voice all the way there, Xu Mumu patiently answered all the things Xu Jiaojiao wanted to know.

"Big sis, look, isn’t that second sis? She looks like she’s being bullied." Xu Jiaojiao’s voice came through.

Following Xu Jiaojiao’s gaze, Xu Mumu saw Xu Xue holding a basket filled with some vegetables, glaring angrily at the man bothering her.

"Let’s go, take a look." Xu Mumu nodded.

"I’ve told you, I don’t know you, go away." Xu Xue said angrily to the man trying to grab her hand, noticing there were hardly any people around. She regretted taking the shortcut, knowing the man was a good-for-nothing from the neighboring team.

"But I know you, sis, lend me some money for fun." The man said, reaching to put a hand on Xu Xue’s shoulder.

"No money, move, I have to go home, you’re blocking my way." Xu Xue said angrily, thinking she must carry a knife next time for self-defense. She’d encountered troublemakers several times, but she had been lucky to escape them before. This time, Wang Dajin had managed to corner her.

Xu Xue avoided Wang Dajin’s hand, contemplating how to get away.

Suddenly, she noticed in the distance that Xu Mumu was approaching with Xu Jiaojiao.

"Second sis, are you alright?" Xu Jiaojiao ran over, concerned for Xu Xue. At eight years old, she could tell what the man intended to do to her sister.

"I’m fine, why are you here?" Seeing Xu Mumu, Xu Xue’s face remained tense.

"Oh, another little beauty, such a pretty beauty, wanna make friends?" Wang Dajin’s eyes lit up when he saw Xu Mumu. While Xu Xue had a delicate face, she had been lacking nutrition previously, making her quite thin. But Xu Mumu was different, having been pampered, her skin was fair, and her figure was developing well.

"You’re looking for trouble." Noticing his intent to touch her face, disgust flashed in Xu Mumu’s eyes, her body acting faster than her thoughts, she kicked Wang Dajin away.

"Ah!!" A scream echoed.

Xu Xue stood stunned, seeing Xu Mumu kick Wang Dajin airborne two or three meters away. Although Wang Dajin was tall and sturdy, weighing over a hundred pounds, Xu Mumu effortlessly kicked him away.

Wang Dajin hit the back of his head on a stone and passed out.

"Big big sis, did you kick him to death?" Xu Jiaojiao shivered, eyes wide in fear. Though young, she knew killing was illegal.

"It’s okay, I know what I’m doing; he just passed out." Xu Mumu calmly said, her chest still heaving. At most, he’d just be in pain for a couple of days from her kick.

"Good, that’s good." Xu Jiaojiao sighed in relief, as long as he wasn’t dead. It’d be a big problem if he was.

"Why are you here?" Xu Xue pursed her lips seeing Xu Mumu and them.

"Just taking a walk around town, better head back early. Don’t walk the back roads alone next time, it’s dangerous." Xu Mumu said casually.

"Right, second sis, the roads are dangerous. Luckily big sis is here. My mom doesn’t let me go out alone to play far away either." Xu Jiaojiao agreed.

"Got it." Xu Xue muttered, then came over to Wang Dajin, pulling out five yuan from his pack. "Do you want it?"

"No." Xu Mumu refused outright, her mouth twitching.

"Jiaojiao, here." Xu Xue placed three yuan in Xu Jiaojiao’s hand, "What about him?"

"Second sis?" Xu Jiaojiao was a bit confused. Her second sis gave most of the money she took to her?

"Let him lie here, he’ll wake up soon." Xu Mumu glanced at the unconscious Wang Dajin on the ground.

"In that case, I’ll go back first." Xu Xue nodded, Xu Mumu had saved her today, though she still disliked her, especially her face that resembled someone she didn’t like. It only made her more resentful.

After speaking, Xu Xue turned around and left.

"Big sis, what do we do with this money?" Xu Jiaojiao clutched the three yuan in her hand. Three yuan could buy a few pounds of meat. Her second sis just handed it over, maybe she was crazy, giving away money just like that.

"Keep it, if you hadn’t seen your second sis being bullied, we couldn’t have saved her. Let’s go to the state-run restaurant now." Xu Mumu said with a smile. Xu Xue might be hostile to her, but not to Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Xue intended the three yuan for her, but since she didn’t want it, she passed it through Xu Jiaojiao instead.

"Big sis, you beat away the bad guy, you should take the money." The little girl, despite wanting the money, had only said a few words and hadn’t contributed much to helping out.

"I don’t want it, use it to buy candies, big sis doesn’t need money." Xu Mumu said generously, although she only had a bit over a hundred in savings.

"Then let’s use this money to buy ice pops, everyone can have some, and we’ll get some for brother and Tiedan too." Xu Jiaojiao beamed.

"Alright." Xu Mumu nodded, not refusing.

The two arrived at the state-run restaurant; it was nearing lunchtime, so it was already quite busy. People at the restaurant recognized Xu Mumu, and she led Xu Jiaojiao through the back door.

Master Yang was surprised to see Xu Mumu arriving so early, but it was just in time to add more dishes later.

"Master Yang, weigh this." Xu Mumu said with a smile, while Xu Jiaojiao was already taken aside by Qin Liang, who handed her a piece of meat to keep her from disturbing Xu Mumu and the others.
