"He said 'Why?'"

  After Bai Mengmeng said the two words "not doing it", Sunflower saw a smile on her face. Again, she spoke out of turn! Women in front of money always can't hold back. As for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, there's no need to mention it.

  Sunflower said: "You should be content, Mengmeng! Think about it, I used to hang out with countless men every day, and it would take several months or even longer to get tens of thousands. But you, just with a smile, just with your lips, without using your body, can get tens of thousands in a very short time! If I compare myself to you, isn't it like a small witch seeing a great witch?"

  "Alright, that's enough for today. I still have things to attend to! I think it's better for me to go home and work on my writing. Staying at home every day is calming!"

  Sunflower said: "Alright then. You go back and think about it carefully! I think, when you're sitting in front of the computer, if you don't get distracted, that's not normal!"

  It really made Sunflower say it was right, when Bai Mengmeng returned home and opened her computer to continue typing, several minutes had passed, but not a single word had been typed! She checked this half-written work, which had not been updated on time, clicks and collections were declining sharply... The editor-in-chief had already sounded the alarm for her.

  What can be done?

  Just thinking about getting a large sum of money from men, especially from Li, in such a short time makes my heart itch. It's a contradictory thing, very entangled, very helpless, very excited, and very painful...

  She wanted to focus on typing, but couldn't calm down; she wanted to call Sunflower and say she was willing to start again with Li, but couldn't open her mouth. It wasn't until it was almost time for lunch that she still hadn't made up her mind.

  Mom came home for lunch. Usually at noon, Mom rarely comes back because of all sorts of students lining up to learn from her, she's very busy! What happened today?

  While eating, Mom said to Bai Mengmeng: "How many years has your father been gone?" Bai Mengmeng was shocked and said: "Many years! Mom, what are you thinking about?" Mom looked at her seriously and said: "You're 26 this year, shouldn't you consider your lifelong event? Once your matter is settled, should I also..."

  Bai Mengmeng smiled and said, "Mom is absolutely right!" Seeing her mom's face turn a little red, she continued, "Mom, what kind of man have you set your eyes on? Can you tell me about the specific situation? I can help you screen him out!"

  Mom smiled and said in a warning tone: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll hit you! Ah, baby, don't you really have a boyfriend?"

  Bai Mengmeng smiled and said, "Really not. Otherwise, mom, you can ask your acquaintances to introduce me to someone, right? Just like you said, I'm really at the age where I should be talking about marriage, otherwise, in another year or two, I'll become an old maid!"

  "Does it still need to wait for another year or two? Now is the age when it's not easy to find a partner. Twenty-six, can compare with girls in their early twenties? You haven't seen those girls online, just over twenty, and there are already many who are looking for marriage."

  Bai Mengmeng disbelievingly said: "Really? At twenty years old, we're already outdated. Doesn't that mean no one will want us anymore?"

  "Think about it," said Mom. "Haven't you heard the philosopher's words? A 20-year-old man likes a 20-year-old woman, a 40-year-old man likes a 20-year-old woman, a 60-year-old man likes a 20-year-old woman...

  Bai Mengmeng continued her mother's words: "I know, eighty-year-old and hundred-year-old men still like twenty-year-old women the most. Because twenty-year-old women are the brightest and sexiest!"

  "Mom smiled and said: 'As long as you know, that's good. Be careful! I'm not letting anyone worry about you now, but when I have a goal, I'll let you get married, and you can't be picky!'".

  Bai Mengmeng said: "Why should I be obedient? Mom is worried about her baby daughter, it's because she loves her!"

  Mom said, "I love hearing that! Baby, there's something I almost forgot to tell you. An old comrade wrote a book with a steel pen, tens of millions of words, and it's almost finished. However, the publisher agreed to publish it, but they don't accept handwritten manuscripts, they need electronic drafts, and you have to proofread them yourself."

  "Don't tell me! I won't take that job, I can barely handle my own affairs. These past few days have been busy with other things, and even my serial updates have been interrupted!"

  Mom said: "I mean, if your classmates or friends have the time and interest to help out, there's pay for it. These days, who would do something for nothing? Hundreds of thousands of words without pay, no one would do that."

  Bai Mengmeng said: "Even with pay, no one would do it. Handwritten, just looking at it is tiring. To be honest, it's even slower than typing out new text! And besides, even if they paid, how much could they give? A small amount of money? It's exhausting to write a thousand words for just a few dollars. It wouldn't be higher than the usual manuscript fee, would it?"

  After bidding farewell to Lao Qi with tears, Qian Li Fang quietly left the village and got on the car. She wanted to hurry back to Shui Quan Yuan, finish what she needed to do, and then it would be okay to fly high, anyway, there was enough money to spend!

  But things took a turn for the worse, a drastic turn!

  When Qian Lifen just started the engine, three men suddenly appeared in front of the car, each holding a dazzling flashlight to block the way.

  Three men almost in unison shouted, Get off and check! Get off and check! Hurry up! Hurry up!

  Qian Lifen had no choice but to get off the car. In the middle of the night, who was blocking the village entrance and checking vehicles? The tallest of the three men spoke to Qian Lifen in an impolite tone: "We are the village patrol team. You're not from our village, what's going on with you leaving at this time?" Before she could speak, the other two men forcibly pushed her into the back seat of the car, one on each side holding her arm tightly as if to restrain her.

  The tall man sat in the driver's seat and drove the car to a narrow small road hundreds of meters outside the village, where he stopped.

  Three men and Qian Lifen got off the bus.

  They first tied up Wang Lixiang's hands and warned her not to speak. Then, from her bag, they searched out a homemade handgun and dagger as well as several thousand yuan in cash.

  Three people were delighted and surprised. The tall-headed man said to the two men, "It seems that this woman is not an ordinary person. She actually carries a knife and a gun? Call the police?"

  Two slightly shorter men, one on each side, tightly grasped Qian Lifen's arm. After hearing the words "call the police", they said in unison: "Don't call!" The taller man asked: "Why?"

  "Of course we can't call the police now!"
