Chapter 14 The Coachman's Dark Moonlight Green Plum 13

While Shen Xinran enjoyed her midnight snack, Cao Xiuyun began to worry. Her daughter had been trying to lose weight for so many days, but she hadn't lost any weight at all.

Even during dinner, Cao Xiuyun kept talking about this topic. "Have you noticed that Wanrong has been getting fatter recently?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Shen Xinran's eyes. She lowered her head to glance at her waist. Did she gain weight? I didn't feel anything! Could it be that I really ate too much?

Chen Qingpeng smiled and said, "What's the big deal? It's better to be a little fatter."

After Chen Qingpeng finished speaking, he picked up a piece of food for Cao Xiuyun. "You are too thin, that's why you need to eat more."

But Cao Xiuyun didn't appreciate it and glared at him. "Thinness is considered beautiful nowadays. If she gets fatter, how will she talk about others in the future?"

Chen Qingpeng waved his hand, raised his chin and said, "It doesn't matter. I hope she can't get married. At worst, we can support her."

Cao Xiuyun rolled her eyes. "You can support her for a while, but can you support her for a lifetime?"

Chen Qidong, who was still standing by, immediately raised his hand and said, "Mom, I'll still be here when you're old! I can also support my sister!"

Shen Xinran's heart felt like he had drunk a cup of thick soup, and he was deeply moved. "Dad, brother, you are so good to me!"

Her requirements are not high, just keep her until she completes her mission.

Cao Xiuyun glared at Shen Xinran, "What do you mean by good for you? They are harming you!"

Shen Xinran reacted and immediately smiled at Cao Xiuyun: "Mom, you are good to me too!"

Cao Xiuyun snorted coldly. Although her face was still sullen, the slightly raised corners of her lips betrayed her emotions.

…

Chen Xinran's little secret was still not kept. It can be said that there is no coincidence in this world. Because Chen Qidong's sleeve was broken, he wanted Cao Xiuyun to help repair it.

Cao Xiuyun thought that Chen Wanrong seemed to have a skirt that she didn't wear, and the fabric was the same as Chen Qidong's clothes. So she went to Shen Xinran's room to look for the skirt.

The skirt was not found, but two taels of silver, a box of mung bean cakes, and a bag of fried twisted dough sticks were found.

After washing the dishes, Shen Xinran returned to her room and saw Cao Xiuyun sitting on her bed with the pile of things.

Shen Xinran could only smile stiffly at Cao Xiuyun and said, "Mom, if I said these were surprises I hid for you, would you believe me?"

Cao Xiuyun glared at Shen Xinran and snorted coldly, "Confiscate them all!"

Seeing Cao Xiuyun taking all her belongings and leaving, Shen Xinran immediately chased after her, "Mom, I was wrong, please leave me two fried dough twists!"

Cao Xiuyun said earnestly, "If you keep eating like this, you'll regret it when you grow up."

Seeing Cao Xiuyun walk into the room, Shen Xinran instantly became lost. She couldn't stay here for long, she just wanted to enjoy herself while she could!

When she turned around, she saw Zhao Huaxing leaning against the door frame, looking at her with a smile.

Shen Xinran instantly put away the expression on her face, looked up at the sky, and created her character.

The person just now was not her. She didn't act like a spoiled child with her mother for two twisted dough sticks.

Little did she know that it was her expression of trying to cover up her guilt that made the smile in Zhao Huaxing's eyes even more intense.

Cao Xiuyun took away Shen Xinran's small private house, which could be said to be taking away Shen Xinran's life.

Because for a seventeen-year-old foodie girl, not allowing her to eat something at night is more painful than killing her.

At night, Shen Xinran couldn't fall asleep and could only stare out the window in a daze. Look, doesn't the moon in the sky look like a giant mung bean cake?

Suddenly, the moon in the window was blocked by someone.

Shen Xinran frowned. Who is this person? Doesn’t he know that she is just trying to quench her thirst by looking at the plums?

When I opened the window, it turned out to be Zhao Huaxing.

Shen Xinran said unhappily: "What are you doing here!"

Zhao Huaxing held up a box of lotus cakes in his hand and asked with a smile, "Want some?"

The last time he was tricked was still fresh in his mind. Shen Xinran shook his head with a strong will, "I don't want to eat!"

But her eyes would look at the Hibiscus Su from time to time.

Zhao Huaxing raised the corner of his lips and smiled slightly, "It just so happens that I don't want to eat it either, so please help me throw it away!"

After Zhao Huaxing finished speaking, he threw the lotus cake through the window and into Shen Xinran's arms.

Shen Xinran was stunned. "Not only are you littering, you're also wasting food!"

But then her eyes lit up with joy. "Since you saved me last time, I'll reluctantly help you deal with it!"

As soon as Zhao Huaxing leaves, she will eat this lotus cake! Shen Xinran thought happily.

Shen Xinran's eyes couldn't hide what was going on. Zhao Huaxing sneered and turned back to his room.

…

Zhang Laowu here waited for a long time and finally his elder brother came.

"This month's protection fee should be paid!"

Zhang Laowu immediately handed the money he had prepared to his eldest brother and said to him with a smile: "Brother, you are finally here. We brothers have been bullied these days."

The eldest brother frowned and said, "You have paid protection fees, who dares to bully you!"

The people who were pulling the cart with Zhang Laowu paid their fare while talking at once:

"It's Zhao Huaxing, the young man who pulled the rickshaw with us."

"He relies on his fast running speed to snatch our customers away at every turn."

"A few days ago, we went to him to argue, and he beat us up."

The person who collected the money was a muscular man with short hair. He glared at her, "You're so bold! Where is he?"

A short, fat man stood up and shouted, "He hasn't come to Qingfengtang to pull a cart these days, but I know where he lives. He lives over there in Wutong Alley."

The muscular man nodded and said, "Okay, take me there and I'll settle the score with him."

The moment the muscular man turned around, Zhang Laowu seemed to see a bruise on his face.

Zhang Laowu didn't care at all, which just shows that his elder brother is a warmonger and good at fighting.

Zhang Laowu completely forgot that these injuries could have been caused unilaterally by someone beating him.

For example, their brothers.

Zhao Huaxing's arm was injured, so he couldn't pull a rickshaw for the time being. But for each fight, the Colosseum would give him 20 taels of silver. Overall, it was still a profit.

He divided the money into three parts and hid them in different places in the house. He took out ten copper coins from under the mattress and went out to buy food.

He bought two buns and ate them while walking.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Zhang Laowu and his group following him stealthily.

Zhao Huaxing raised the corner of his lips. "You brought this upon yourselves." He pretended not to notice and walked to an open area.

When the muscular man attacked from behind, Zhao Huaxing raised his leg and kicked him to the ground.

Then he rushed forward with lightning speed and pressed the muscular man down.

Fighting in the black market over the years has taught him where the fatal weaknesses of humans and animals lie.

So, he kept punching the man, hitting wherever it hurt.

The muscular man was beaten by him and screamed, "I was wrong, I was wrong, let me go."

Zhao Huaxing took a closer look and found that it was actually an acquaintance. He fought even harder.
