Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 1188

Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Heart-to-Heart (Fifteenth Update)

"Mom, I said I don’t want to get married right now." Zhang Qiang felt really awkward; here he was, an adult man, still being dragged by the ear by his mother on the street.

"No way."

Liu Cuixong tightened her grip, but Zhang Qiang took advantage of a moment when she wasn’t paying attention and ran off, quickly darting into an alley. Once he finally shook off Liu Cuixong, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Qiang."

Liu Cuixong called out his full name, but Zhang Qiang was intent on hiding, and she couldn’t catch up. She could only stand there, fuming, glaring at the bustling crowd.

Zhang Qiang wandered around by the roadside, when suddenly, he remembered who the girl selling zongzi was. Wasn’t she the same girl he met in Huayue Park who helped the elderly lady yesterday?

The girl with the bright smile.

So she was selling zongzi there.

Zhang Qiang thought about how she was just a young girl, yet was working hard selling zongzi all alone.

Zhang Qiang roamed around aimlessly, watching as the day grew darker, realizing he had to head back.

He planned to catch the last bus back, hoping he wouldn’t run into Liu Cuixong.

Zhang Qiang’s plan was a good one. As he wandered around, he suddenly heard people shout ’catch the thief’.

Zhang Qiang rushed forward immediately to catch the thief who had stolen a bag. He was fast, and although the thief had a head start, Zhang Qiang quickly caught up, not only retrieving the bag but also apprehending the thief.

"Thank you."

A panting girl spoke, looking at the bag in Zhang Qiang’s hand and said, "Thank you for getting my bag back."

"You’re welcome." Zhang Qiang returned the bag, and upon closer inspection, realized this was the same girl with the bright smile, the one selling zongzi.

"What happened to your hand?"

Zhang Qiang noticed the girl; she looked quite disheveled, with blood on her hands and knees, bleeding profusely, a truly sorry sight.

"It’s nothing."

The girl glared at the thief angrily and said, "How dare you? This is the money I saved to buy medicine for my mom, and you stole it. Aren’t you afraid of karma?"

The girl scolded fiercely and hugged the money, giving it a hard kiss.

She had been saving for so long, and today after selling zongzi, she finally had enough money!

"Thank you, really thank you so much." The girl bowed repeatedly to Zhang Qiang, expressing her gratitude, and was about to leave with her bag.

"Wait a moment." Zhang Qiang tied up the thief, and when the police arrived, they took him away directly.

Zhang Qiang stopped the girl.

The girl, eyes brimming with tears, said, "I know you helped me, but I’m really short on money."

She tightly hugged her bag and said, "My name is Yan Wei, I live at No. 10, xx Alley. If you don’t mind, I’d like to treat you to a meal."

Zhang Qiang found it both funny and frustrating; he didn’t stop her to ask for thanks or money, he said, "I just wanted you to apply some ointment. Your knees and hand are injured, and with the weather getting hotter, if it gets infected, that wouldn’t be good."

"It’s not a big deal," Yan Wei said dismissively, these wounds she had long gotten used to.

"It’s not okay."

Zhang Qiang directly pulled Yan Wei and went back to his uncle’s place.

"Wait for me a moment."
