Aunt Xu - Tu Nian's pupils shrank suddenly, and her tightly clenched fist finally couldn't hold back and swung hard at the disgusting fat face in front of her.

Liu Laowu seemed to have expected it. He shook his belly and easily dodged Tu Nian's fist with a flexible movement that was completely inconsistent with his image. He shook his head as if with pity: "I know that you can fight very well. I just don't know if you can take care of others with your little skill."

As he said this, he glanced at the piano store, his threat clearly evident.

The IOU in Tu Nian's hand was almost crushed by her. Aunt Xu didn't know about her family's debts, and she didn't want Aunt Xu to get involved in such a thing. And with Liu Lai's power in Ronghai City, if she doesn't agree to give money today, maybe tomorrow, the words "Xu's Piano Shop" will completely disappear from Ronghai City.

After some deliberation, Tu Nian threw the tattered IOU back at the man.

"How much?" she asked.

Liu Laowu calmly pinched the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile: "Twenty thousand..."

"Okay, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon..."

"And a slap."

Tu Nian raised her head in disbelief. She saw Liu Laowu patting her face teasingly: "You said that if I didn't dodge in time, I would have been hit just now. If I don't give him a small punishment, Lai Ye's Where are you going to put your face, right?”

"Twenty thousand, and a slap in the face. Any less would make our boss Xu's life uneasy." Liu Laowu grinned with a disgusting smile.

The clenched fists gradually loosened, and Tu Nian felt calmer than ever before. She quietly looked at the boundless sky. It was strange that it was clearly raining, but there were not many clouds.

"Pa—" a crisp sound broke the condensed air. The low buzzing sound echoed in Tu Nian's ears and lingered for a long time.

Huangya left.

No matter how cold the falling rain was, Tu Nian never moved his eyes away from the sky. Gradually, her whole face turned red.

Withdrew his gaze, turned around, and opened the door. She took the coat off the hanger, wiped the rain off her hair and face, and finally left the coat naturally on the left side of her face.

"Why haven't you taken an umbrella out after so long?" Aunt Xu was still playing the piano, but she had already changed it to another one, or maybe it wasn't necessarily which one.

"It's about renewing the bar contract. We've been talking for a long time." Before Aunt Xu could raise her head, Tu Nian continued: "I'll go see how Tiantian is practicing first."

When Aunt Xu finished wiping the body of the piano, Tu Nian was gone. She sighed softly, looked at the empty staircase and smiled: "You are so old, but you are still so unstable."

Back in the piano room, Tu Nian had already put on the mask he always had on hand.

She asked Tiantian to play the chords for her from beginning to end.

After listening to it again, everything else is good, but the smoothness is still a little lacking. Tu Nian thought for a while, then picked up the guitar and demonstrated it himself.

"Look sweetly, do mi sol..."

ˉGood guy, you can't move even after this slap. Miss Tu is really tough.

"Put your finger down and put it here..."

ˉI'll go find you to get the money tomorrow.

"Don't use too much force, otherwise your fingers will hurt..."

ˉIf you dare to take action again, it won’t be as simple as a slap.

The chords of the guitar were still echoing in the piano room, but Tiantian suddenly walked up to Tu Nian and raised his hand to touch the corners of her eyes.

"Sister Ayang, why are you crying?"

Tu Nian didn't even notice that she shed two lines of tears while playing the piano.

She rubbed it randomly, and when she wiped away the tears, her cheek hurt again when she touched it.

She put down the guitar, hugged Tiantian again, and gently squeezed her soft little face, as if squeezing this tender baby's face would make all the sadness and sadness fly away.

"It's okay, sister... I just suddenly want to eat Xiaolong Baozi." She said.

Xu's Piano Shop's afternoon classes are slightly longer than those in the morning, but the lobby of the Piano Shop is already filled with parents who come to pick up their children. Some parents knew each other and chatted about each other all the time.

"Whose class is your child enrolled in?"

"Teacher Du, who else can it be?"

"Why did I remember that you wanted to report to Teacher Tu..."

"Hey, don't mention it. Boss Xu said that she only takes care of two students a semester, and this time she was snatched away by others."

"Hey, and when you were robbed?"

"Shh... the person is right over there..."

The speaker touched the friend next to him and motioned her to look at the seat not far away. She was a woman in her early thirties, plainly dressed, and ordinary-looking.

The woman held an umbrella in her left hand, a mobile phone in her right hand, and a light yellow children's jacket in her arms. Her eyes moved from the phone to the stairs from time to time, obviously waiting for someone.

The woman kept looking at the stairs until a small blue figure jumped downstairs. She stood up and waved to the figure: "Tiantian!"

"Mom!" As soon as Tiantian saw that figure, she immediately let go of Tu Nian's hand. She descended several stairs and rushed into her mother's arms.

The woman rubbed Tiantian's head and put on her jacket: "Are you tired? Is it difficult to learn today?"

Tiantian rolled up her clothes and shook her head, but she looked obviously tired. Just as Tu Nian came over, he answered for her: "Today's teaching is a little difficult, but Tiantian has practiced very well, so you don't have to worry."

"Teacher Tu taught me well. Oh, by the way... keep this." The woman suddenly took out five hundred yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into Tu Nian's hand.

"What is this for?" Tu Nian frowned and was about to return the banknotes.

Seeing the situation, the woman hurriedly said: "Teacher Tu, have you forgotten? We still owe you tuition. You keep these first, and I will bring the rest in two weeks."

After hearing what the woman said, Tu Nian remembered that she had only paid half of the tuition for this semester. Looking at the money in his hand, Tu Nian felt a little hesitant, but he still returned the money to the woman.

"Your family has been in need of money a lot recently. Let's talk about the tuition fees after this time has passed."

"This..." The woman looked at Tu Nian awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Tu Nian didn't say anything more, he just handed Tiantian's guitar into her hand, then bent down and pinched Tiantian's cheek and said, "Remember to practice more when you go home."

Tiantian nodded obediently: "Okay!"

The woman made no excuses. She thanked Tu Nian again and left with Tiantian.

About half an hour passed before and after, the parents took their children away, and the teachers who did not have the evening shift went off work together.

Normally, Tu Nian would have gone back after work, but today she obviously had no intention of leaving on time. At this moment, she was leaning on the sofa in the living room, thinking about something, and she was holding a slightly old but exquisite book in her hand.
