91: Popular wrestler

Luong Thi Thu blinked at Li Qinghe: "Brother He, do you rich people just do whatever you want?"

"Brother wants to film a video."

Nguyen Thi Linh, who had been with Li Qinghe for so long, helped explain, fully understanding what Li Qinghe wanted to do.

"Ten million vietnamese dong should be enough, all for the wrestlers."

Luong Thi Thu fiddled with her fingers, giving an uncertain answer.

"Come, block this for a moment."

"Hmm! This should be enough."

Li Qinghe, using the bodies of a few people as cover, opened a backpack and pulled out a stack of cash, stuffing it into his pant pocket. This stack was fifty million vietnamese dong, equivalent to over ten thousand dragon country currency.

The sharp-eyed Luong Thi Thu saw that there were a dozen more stacks of similar thickness in the backpack.

This greatly shocked Luong Thi Thu. What did this Brother He do? He actually carried nearly a billion vietnamese dong in cash in his bag.

Her whole family couldn't earn this much money in several years.

Luong Thi Thu subtly looked up at Nguyen Thi Linh's face, then at Nguyen Thi Thuy's long legs.

She felt that only someone with the conditions of the Nguyen sisters could find a man like Li Qinghe.

They were all from Nghe An, who didn't know what Da Mi Fan and Two Rice Grains were all about?

How enviable!

Luong Thi Thu took Nguyen Thi Thuy's hand: "A Shui, let's go look ahead."

The two young girls led the way, browsing the dense rows of street stalls.

"Brother-in-law, hurry, this is so pretty!" Nguyen Thi Thuy loudly called out to Li Qinghe.

What made Nguyen Thi Thuy beam with joy was a lantern stall. At this moment, the stall was crowded with children, with their parents behind them.

Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam is Children's Day, one of the most beloved festivals for all children.

The children were all choosing their favorite lanterns, which were their equipment for parading the streets tonight.

Whoever held a bigger and more beautiful lantern than others would receive more envious glances tonight.

The world of children was that simple.

And the material desires that arose from spiritual needs were a form of comparison, but also human nature.

Therefore, children who were deprived of material satisfaction for a long time often had a relatively barren spiritual world, manifested externally as inferiority and lack of confidence.

When faced with opportunities, they would hesitate, thinking in their minds, 'Such a good thing, such a good opportunity, do I deserve it?'

Although not absolute, children whose parents were generally open-minded and whose spiritual and material needs were mostly met, often saw the world as beautiful and were full of energy and vitality.

Now, Nguyen Thi Thuy was undergoing a major transformation in her life.

Because of Li Qinghe's appearance, her world had been turned upside down, making her realize for the first time that she deserved beautiful clothes, and she deserved a beautiful motorcycle.

Unconsciously, she developed an unusual attachment to Li Qinghe; asking her brother-in-law for whatever she wanted had become her habitual action.

Standing in front of the lantern stall at this moment, her inner child, still alive and well, recalled how in her childhood she could only watch enviously as other children held beautiful store-bought lanterns.

She could only follow behind her older sister and brother, holding the simple lantern her sister had made.

Today, her chance had come. She wanted to make up for all the enjoyment she had missed in previous years and properly compensate for the shortcomings of her childhood.

So she loudly called out to her Li · Aladdin · Qinghe lamp genie.

Li Qinghe smiled, holding Nguyen Thi Linh's hand, and followed behind Nguyen Tan Minh, squeezing to the side of the stall.

This lantern stall occupied a considerable area and should be considered one of the largest stalls at this temple fair.

Not only were the display boards of the stall filled with a dazzling array of lanterns and masks, but the bamboo scaffolding encircling the stall was also hung with various types of lanterns.

Most of these were traditional Vietnamese lanterns depicting stars, carp, and rabbits.

Li Qinghe also saw some lanterns with Chinese language characters written on them, such as "Moon Palace," "Jade Rabbit," and "Thousands of miles share the beauty of the moon."

At a glance, they had a strong Chinese style and were likely imported lanterns.

These lanterns were not expensive. A regular one cost 40,000 to 60,000 vietnamese dong, equivalent to about ten-odd dragon country currency.

The cheapest ones were 20,000 vietnamese dong each, about 5 dragon country currency.

Of course, there were also more expensive ones with more lights, complex designs, and larger sizes, costing 100,000 vietnamese dong each, which was nearly 30 dragon country currency.

For rural Vietnam, these were considered relatively expensive toys or lanterns.

Nguyen Thi Thuy chose a large rabbit lantern for herself and Luong Thi Thu, and Nguyen Thi Linh paid the 200,000 vietnamese dong fee.

Because Li Qinghe didn't have any small change; he only had 500,000 vietnamese dong bills.

Nguyen Thi Linh was quite a rich woman now; most of Li Qinghe's small change was tucked into her small purse.

"A Shui, I don't want it."

Luong Thi Thu saw that Nguyen Thi Thuy had bought a lantern for her too, and waved her hands repeatedly.

"A Qiu, take it. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You and A Shui each get one."

Nguyen Thi Linh intervened. Although she was only a few years older, her habitual older sister demeanor made Luong Thi Thu accept the lantern.

The five of them strolled around the long street of the temple fair, mainly with Nguyen Thi Thuy and Luong Thi Thu, the two young girls, happily walking ahead with their lanterns.

Li Qinghe and the other three followed behind as backup.

Along the way, Nguyen Thi Linh's small purse was constantly opening and closing as she bought many snacks for everyone.

Finally, for lunch, they had a meal of Yen Chau rolled rice noodles, a very distinctive local delicacy from Nghe An. Minced pork mixed with celery or wood ear mushrooms was stir-fried, then rolled into translucent rice paper.

Nguyen Thi Thuy and Luong Thi Thu had already filled their small stomachs with snacks, and looking at the plate of rolled rice noodles in front of them, they couldn't even pick up their chopsticks.

So, the main eaters were still Li Qinghe and Nguyen Tan Minh.

Nguyen Thi Linh only picked one rolled rice noodle for Li Qinghe's plate and didn't touch her chopsticks again after that.

Because she had eaten almost as much as Nguyen Thi Thuy earlier.

Finally, the group of five rested for twenty minutes at the rolled noodle shop before heading to the wrestling venue.

After digesting their food, Nguyen Thi Thuy and Luong Thi Thu regained their vitality.

It was a vigorous life force bursting forth from their bodies, making one feel very beautiful just by looking at them.

"Brother, Sister, let's hurry and grab a front-row spot."

This time, it was Luong Thi Thu who was anxious. She jogged, her headband's bow fluttering up and down with her steps.

She truly lived up to her reputation as a mixed wrestling enthusiast.

Li Qinghe and the Nguyen siblings were all tall with long legs.

What took Luong Thi Thu two steps, they covered in one, so they didn't feel there was anything to be overly anxious about.

Led by Luong Thi Thu, the group actually found an excellent spot next to the wrestling ring, perfectly within the covered area of the large tent, protected from both sun and rain.

At this time, people nearby also began to flock in to claim spots.

As they settled into their positions, others seemed to receive some news and swarmed in, instantly surrounding the entire wrestling ring, making it packed.

Li Qinghe only heard a cacophony of Vietnamese voices.

Everyone was discussing who the wrestlers were today.

Were there any local wrestlers competing?

How much was the prize money for this competition?

Suddenly, a 'buzzing' sound approached from a distance.

Everyone present turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

A group of men and women were seen walking towards the wrestling ring, led by several people dressed like officials.

As someone loudly called out a wrestler's name, in an instant, the area around the wrestling ring seemed to transform into an idol fan meeting.

Many people were shouting themselves hoarse, cheering for their favorite wrestlers.

These wrestlers were clearly accustomed to such an atmosphere; as the surrounding crowd roared, they merely waved calmly to the onlookers.

Soon, a line of wrestlers stood on the wrestling ring, and then two more wrestlers, a man and a woman, went up from backstage.

Thus, there were eight wrestlers standing on the wrestling ring.

This scale indicated a considerable wrestling performance event.

"Qinglian Jie, come on!" Luong Thi Thu shrieked, triggering another wave of fervent cheers.
