Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

"Brother Yangyang, I want to eat roasted chestnuts!"

On the street, Zuo You clasped her hands together expectantly, making a pleading gesture.

Gu Yang took out five yuan from his pocket. "Boss, give me five yuan's worth."

The stall owner laughed as he packed the food into bags: "Young man, five yuan's worth isn't enough for two people!"

"It's okay, I won't eat it."

"Gu Yang, you really don't want to eat? It smells so good!" Zuo You smiled like a cat that had just stolen some fish, waving a peeled chestnut in front of him.

Gu Yang swallowed hard and shook his head.

After thinking for a moment, he said seriously, "Youyou, once I've saved up enough money, I'll send you to take the college entrance exam."

The chestnut shell in Zuo You's hand fell to the ground with a thud. She swallowed hard, her expression contorted with rage: "Gu Yang, I have no grudge against you, why did you try to harm me!"

We're all the best beggars, and you actually want to monopolize this street and even send me to the college entrance exam?! You have no heart!

Don't think she doesn't know what kind of lives those college entrance exam takers lead. They get up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than dogs, and their hair is almost bald from exhaustion!

Gu Yang raised his fist, looking somewhat annoyed, and said, "Zuo You, are you itching for a beating again?"

He found this guy in a garbage dump about two weeks ago. He was stupid and couldn't remember anything, but he couldn't resist taking him home.

Gu Yang grew up with a homeless man as far back as he could remember. After the homeless man died, he made a living by doing odd jobs. He wasn't rich, but he was able to make ends meet.

But after picking up this troublesome thing, he switched to begging because she ate too much, and begging was a faster and easier way to make money.

Zuo You stuck out her tongue and, just as he was about to get angry, quickly stuffed a peeled chestnut into his mouth, saying in a coquettish tone, "Brother Yangyang is the best. I don't go to school because of you. It's so lonely for you to beg for food all by yourself."

Gu Yang softened a bit after hearing her words, but still insisted: "That won't do either. Although begging is profitable, it's not suitable for a girl. From today onwards, we'll keep all our money here, and we'll send you to school after the New Year."

Seeing that he wasn't falling for it, Zuo You huffed angrily, "I'm not going! I earn more begging than you do. I'll save up my money and introduce you to a wife next year. Let's see if you still try to control me then!"

She ran off as soon as she finished speaking, leaving Gu Yang far behind.

Gu Yang stared at her retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly. She could genuinely care for someone when she wanted to, and she could also be incredibly infuriating when she wanted to!

He was so angry it hurt his liver!

"I'm sorry!" Gu Yang bumped into a man who came out from around the corner without noticing, and was startled by the lifelessness in his eyes.

The man, wearing a well-tailored overcoat, walked straight past him and said in a cold voice, "One serving of roasted chestnuts."

Seeing that he didn't mind, Gu Yang looked away and went home. That little rascal probably ran so fast to avoid doing his homework, so he had to hurry back and keep an eye on him.

Zuo You, who had slipped home, didn't give Gu Yang a chance to catch her. She picked up a snakeskin bag and climbed out the window.

Her goal today was a villa area, specifically the trash cans.

"Designer handbags? Take them! Plush rabbits? Take them! Designer watches? Take them!" Zuo You happily plunged into the pile of old and used items and started her Taobao shopping spree.

Perhaps wealthy people never wear the same clothes twice, and the old clothes inside look newer than those hanging in the shop windows.

In no time, she had filled a large bag, hoisted it onto her shoulder, and left reluctantly.

"It's you again!" The voice beside her sounded familiar. Zuo You turned her head and saw the sucker she had met in the chaotic alleyway number five.

"Brother! We meet again!" Zuo You's eyes lit up.

Wei Ci frowned as she looked at the scavenging bag, which was almost bigger than her: "Didn't you take that watch to sell?"

"I sold it and got so much money!" The girl laughed happily, two shallow dimples appearing on her face.

She wasn't wearing those tattered, filthy clothes today; although they were still old, she looked like a normal person.

"Then why did you come here to pick up things?" Although the watch wasn't expensive, the money she got should be enough for her to live on for a while.

Before Wei Ci could think further, the girl who had just been smiling began to sob, her thin body trembling, "I gave all the money I earned to my brother..."

Wei Ci hadn't expected this answer. He thought for a moment and said, "Haven't you thought about finding a job?"

He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth; she didn't look very old, and it was questionable whether she was even an adult.

The girl cried even harder: "I... I've looked for so many jobs, but they wouldn't pay me because... because I don't have an ID card..."

Wei Ci looked at her with some surprise. She was a beggar and an unregistered resident. It was really not easy for her to have survived to this day.

Wei Ci suddenly remembered that the old lady had mentioned a few days ago that she wanted to find her a secretary. He couldn't possibly misunderstand what the old woman was thinking, so why not...

"Come be my maid, 30,000 yuan a month including room and board."

Gu Yang, who rushed home, felt gratified to hear the sound of reading aloud coming from Zuo You's room.

As children grow up, they may become a little rebellious, but as long as you reason with them properly, they will still listen.

"Study hard, Yoyo! I'll go make you seafood noodles right now!"

As Gu Yang spoke, he went into the kitchen and got busy, rolling out dough and peeling shrimp. It took him nearly an hour to make two bowls of fragrant seafood noodles.

He placed the noodles on the table and called out to the bedroom, "Youyou, dinner's ready!"

Gu Yang felt something was wrong that the person who usually ate five meals a day didn't rush out immediately.

"Let's go out for noodles!"

However, they were still reciting texts inside.

Gu Yang pressed his ear against the door with great suspicion.

"Zuo You!!!"

Enraged at being scammed once again, Gu Yang grabbed the spare key and opened the door. The house was empty, and the windows were wide open.

The tape recorder on the table was still playing Zuo You's recitation over and over again.

Zuo You was completely unaware that she had successfully ignited Gu Yang's anger, and happily led her two bodyguards into the house.

"Zuo You, I can't follow you forever, but my slaps can!"

The moment the door was opened, Gu Yang glared menacingly at him.

However, the first to enter were not Zuo You, but two burly men dressed in black.

"Brother, don't be angry!" Zuo You peeked out from between the two of them and smiled.

Gu Yang didn't have time to get angry. He rushed over, pulled her out, and shielded her behind him, watching the two men who were much stronger than him warily.

"Who are you? What are you doing following my sister? With me here, you won't lay a finger on her!"

The two bodyguards were about to explain when Zuo You pulled Gu Yang aside and whispered, "Brother, don't worry. I ran into that rich idiot again today. These are his bodyguards!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang secretly sized up the two men, who certainly didn't seem like thugs.

"You've been discovered? They're here to demand compensation from us?"

Zuo You smiled slyly, "I tricked him again and gave him a job with a monthly salary of 30,000. Pack your bags, and I'll treat you to the best of everything!"
