"Chen Laizi, stop right there!"
Suddenly, a thunderous roar was heard in the vegetable market, followed by a commotion.
Chen Xiaoru was just about to go home when she heard this voice out of the blue. Her heart skipped a beat. This voice... why did it sound familiar?
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin figure with shifty eyes running wildly in front, followed closely by five burly men with sticks in their hands.
If that thin figure isn't Chen Laizi, who else could it be?
Chen Xiaoru paused. Cheap dad?
Looking at the scene of pursuit again, she took a breath and said in her heart: Damn, isn’t this being chased by people from the gambling house?
Do you want to save him?
As soon as this thought went through her mind, Chen Xiaoru cursed herself for being so stupid. This scumbag father had already run to her, so how could she not save him?
"Dad! Over here!" Chen Xiaoru gritted her teeth and shouted at Chen Laizi.
"Xiao Ru, run, the people from the gambling house are chasing us!" Chen Laizi grabbed Chen Xiaoru's wrist and turned around and ran away.
Chen Xiaoru's hands were full of things, and when she ran, they made a lot of noise, which was very inconvenient.
"No, Dad, why are you running?" Chen Xiaoru staggered and almost fell down. She was a bully, when had she ever been so embarrassed?
"How can I not run? What if they set their sights on you? My daughter is so beautiful." Chen Laizi looked back while running, with an anxious look on his face, and did not forget to boast to himself, "My daughter's looks are all inherited from my good qualities, Chen Laizi!"
"I'm not running anymore. I'm so tired." Chen Xiaoru stopped abruptly, supported her knees with her hands, bent over and gasped for breath. Her chest was wheezing like a bellows. She really couldn't run anymore. If she continued running, she felt like her lungs were going to explode.
When Chen Laizi saw his daughter stop, he stamped his feet anxiously, but there was nothing he could do so he could only stop and look behind him with a worried look on his face.
"Run, why don't you run?" The leader caught up, one hand on his waist, the other pointing at Chen Laizi, bent over and panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, "Damn it, I'm so tired!"
He took a deep breath, stood up straight, held out his hand, and said viciously, "Hurry up, Chen Laizi, return the twenty taels of silver! Otherwise, we will go to your house to ask for it!"
"No, no, big brother, I will definitely pay you back if I have the money! Can't you...can't you give me two more days?" Chen Laizi nodded and bowed, with a pleading look on his face, speaking softly without any spine.
"Damn it, two days of leniency? What are you dreaming of!" The man spat, his tone stern, "I gave you ten taels for a month before, and you borrowed another ten taels yesterday. What? Do you think this gambling house is a charity? You have to pay me back today!"
He suddenly stood up straight, touched his chin, and his eyes fell on Chen Xiaoru. He looked her up and down with ill intent and chuckled, "Can't pay it back? I think... your daughter is pretty good!"
"Zhang San, you are looking for death! How dare you set your sights on my daughter? I will fight you to the death!" When Chen Laizi heard this, he immediately became furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on. His eyes widened, and he pointed at Zhang San's nose and cursed loudly, his saliva almost spraying on Zhang San's face.
"Tsk, you? Still fighting for your life? What are you fighting for?" Zhang San looked at Chen Laizi with disdain, completely ignoring him. He took a step forward and said arrogantly, "If you can't pay the money, you have to pay it back with something! I think your daughter is pretty good! It's her blessing to be favored by me, understand?"
The midday sun made her feel dizzy. Chen Xiaoru had been standing there for a long time, growing impatient. She frowned slightly, cursing inwardly: "Will these two ever stop?"
The crowd gathered around the scene, three layers deep and three layers deep, making it impossible to get out. Many people in the town knew the father and daughter and had been bullied by them. Seeing them in trouble, they folded their arms and waited for the show to begin.
"Dad, don't these people know me?" Chen Xiaoru narrowed her eyes slightly and asked Chen Laizi with a hint of doubt. After all, she was a well-known "bully" in the town. Who would dare to provoke her?
Chen Laizi shrank his neck and explained awkwardly, "Um...my dear, this Zhang San is new here. He's only been at the gambling house for a few days..."
"Hey! What are you two whispering about? Pay me back quickly!" Zhang San was getting impatient and interrupted them in a gruff voice.
Chen Xiaoru glanced at him coldly and stuffed everything she was holding into Chen Laizi's arms. Then, she slowly walked towards Zhang San, each step carrying a heart-pounding momentum.
When she walked in front of Zhang San, Chen Xiaoru suddenly changed into a delicate look, and her voice was as soft as honey: "Brother, am I beautiful?"
She blinked her eyes deliberately, her eyes were captivating and had a hint of provocation, and she sent electric shocks to Zhang San.
The crowd around was silent for a moment, as if they were all waiting to see the show. The air was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.
Zhang San couldn't stand such "enthusiasm" and immediately felt his soul was hooked. He nodded and bowed like a pug: "Beautiful, beautiful, really beautiful, it's like a fairy from heaven!"
Chen Xiaoru curled up the corner of her mouth in a sneer, but a cold light flashed in her eyes.
The next second, she raised her leg without any warning and kicked Zhang San in the stomach!
"Ah--" Zhang San screamed, and flew backwards like a shrimp, falling heavily to the ground. He grimaced in pain and couldn't get up for a long time.
The crowd watching the excitement around them suddenly exploded, with exclamations and discussions one after another.
Chen Xiaoru didn't care about that. She flexed her wrist, glared fiercely at Zhang San, who was wailing on the ground, and cursed: "Fuck you! You have the guts to tease me? You're tired of living, aren't you?"
She rushed forward and started punching and kicking Zhang San.
"I'll teach you how to be so mean! I'll teach you how to be so blind! How dare you set your sights on me!" Chen Xiaoru rode on Zhang San, swinging her fists and hitting him like raindrops, without mercy. She hit him and cursed at the same time, her voice sharp and piercing.
Zhang San was beaten black and blue, and had no power to fight back. He could only hold his head and curl up on the ground like a dead dog, wailing: "Auntie... I was wrong... Stop hitting me... If you hit me again... I'm going to die..." His voice was intermittent and full of tears.
There was silence all around, with only Chen Xiaoru's yelling and Zhang San's screams. People were stunned. They didn't expect that Chen Xiaoru, who was usually arrogant and domineering, could be so cruel when she attacked.
When Chen Xiaoru finally vented her anger and stopped, Zhang San had been beaten beyond recognition. Even his own parents probably couldn't recognize him.
Zhang San was beaten dizzy. He never dreamed that this woman was flirting with him in a coquettish way one second, and then turned her face against him and started beating him the next second.
