The Mightiest Little Peasant

chairs and eating their lunch.
From their clothes, they seemed like peasant workers.

Yan’er was suddenly taken aback.

She realized that Brother Hao was very rich, unlike before.
Perhaps he could not stand eating at those places anymore.

“How about… we eat somewhere else?” Yan’er hesitated.

Tang Hao smiled.
“It’s fine.
We’ll eat here!”

Tang Hao was born in a poor family, just like Yan’er.
He had always felt that roadside restaurants were more intimate.
Even though he was a lot richer compared to before, the intimacy did not lessen.

Tang Hao drove his three-wheeled motorcycle toward the restaurant.

When he parked the motorcycle in front of the restaurant, the people abruptly stopped talking.

All their eyes turned toward the two people.

They gasped in admiration when they saw Yan’er.

They could not believe that such a beautiful young woman would be riding a three-wheeled motorcycle.
It was a rare sight in these modern times.

“Boss! One green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl, please!” Yan’er shouted.

She turned around and spoke to Tang Hao.
“How about you, Brother Hao?”

“Give me the same!” Tang Hao said.

“Two bowls, please!” Yan’er shouted toward the interior of the restaurant.

“Comin’ right up!” The boss shouted from inside.

“Let’s sit here, Brother Hao!” Yan’er looked around, then held Tang Hao’s hand and pulled him to an empty table.

The restaurant soon resumed its usual bustle.

They waited for about five minutes before lunch was served.

“Mmm, smells so nice!” Yan’er exclaimed after she sniffed the food.
She started eating happily.

She blushed when she realized that Tang Hao was watching her.

“Why are you looking at me, Brother Hao?”

“It’s nothing.
Let’s eat!” Tang Hao laughed.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating.

While they were eating, a white car suddenly appeared from one end of the road.
The BMW logo in front of the car was extremely eye-catching.

The car looked as though it was driving steadily straight ahead, but it abruptly slowed down as it neared the restaurant and eventually stopped.

The car window rolled down.
Sitting inside was a slightly plump young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
He looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.

He narrowed his eyes and looked curiously toward the tables on the sidewalk.

Soon, he confirmed what he saw.

His lips stretched into a grin.

“Hey, isn’t that Tang Hao?” He shouted.
There was a hint of mockery in his voice.

The person sitting in a roadside restaurant full of peasant workers and eating a cheap rice bowl was none other than Tang Hao, his classmate in junior high!

That ‘very amazing big-timer’ Tang Hao!

Tang Hao’s presence at the junior high student gathering had shocked him.
Apparently, he had connections with the district secretary.
Even the commissioner of the police station had to be courteous toward him.

‘What a sorry sight.
Looks like he’s merely a peasant worker!

‘He must have fallen from grace.
That’s right.
He didn’t even graduate high school.
He’s nothing but a talentless bum! So what if he knows the district secretary? He’s still a loser.

‘Right, I’ve heard that the earlier district secretary had been transferred.
No wonder he’s back to his poor self now!’

He became happier the more he thought about it.

In his eyes, Tang Hao was a poor kid from a mountain village who could not go to college.
He had always looked down upon Tang Hao.

At the student gathering, that guy had hooked up with the girl he liked.
He was even more frustrated that the guy was acquainted with the district secretary.

Did that guy deserve to be better than him?

He was happy seeing Tang Hao being in such a wretched state, thinking that he had been vindicated somehow.
