The Byoukidere Is Her Sweetie

Chapter 299: 299: The first argument in textiles, Jiang Zhi runs away from home (second update

“Wait for me there.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Xufang ended the call and returned the phone: “Thank you.”

Her phone had been confiscated, and she had borrowed this uncle’s phone on the road.

The uncle, with his dark and aged-looking skin, was a bit skinny and dressed in camouflage: “No problem.” He got off his tricycle, “Looks like the little girl is lost?”

Zhou Xufang nodded: “My family is coming to pick me up,” she said. “They will be here soon.” She couldn’t explain the specifics.

The uncle took off the straw hat he was wearing and moved the tricycle to the side: “Then I’ll wait here a bit. It’s getting dark, and it’s not safe for a young girl to be here alone.”

Zhou Xufang felt bad: “That’s alright, don’t trouble yourself.”

He waved his hand: “It’s fine.” He picked up the phone and called his wife, “Wife, save some dinner for me, I’ll be home late.”

His wife asked if something had happened.

The uncle chuckled: “Don’t worry, nothing serious, just business being too good. There’s a lot of people buying sweet potatoes.”

He really was a good person.

Zhou Xufang glanced at the sweet potatoes on the tricycle and patted her pockets. Alas, she had no money; her phone and wallet had been taken.

After hanging up, the uncle squatted by the roadside and chatted with Zhou Xufang: “Young lady, how old are you?”

The sun had already set, and the distant horizon still had traces of orange twilight.

Zhou Xufang also squatted down: “Twenty-two.”

“Just like my daughter,” the uncle continued, “Are you still studying?”

She shook her head: “No, I’m working.”

In the past, she probably wouldn’t have squatted by the roadside chatting with a stranger like this, as she used to be very wary of strangers.
