Chapter 92: Maomao accidentally helped
He was speechless, and Huang Xinran was even more questioning his life.
Why is it that every time she goes into the city, she is either robbed by hooligans or targeted by thieves? Does she have an easily bullied face?
Thinking of this, Huang Xinran secretly exerted force with his hands, causing the thief to open his mouth and gasp for air in pain, but no sound came out.
"Everyone, come and look! This thief tried to cut my pocket with a razor blade to steal money, but I caught him. Is there any kind-hearted person who can help me call the police? Thank you everyone!"
Passersby did not come forward to watch. They either hid and ran away quickly, or hid far away and pointed and talked.
But there were more kind-hearted people who ran to call the police.
By the time the two police officers slowly came over, the thief had been beaten until he was covered in blood, his clothes were covered with footprints, and he was squatting in a corner, protecting his head. His eyes were dim, and he no longer had the ferocity he had when he first tried to beat people up.
"Who hit the person?!"
The police shouted: "Even if he is a thief, you can't hit him! Everyone, come out and tell us who started it first?"
"It's her!~"
Passersby looked around for Huang Xinran, but unfortunately, when everyone started beating people, Huang Xinran had already squeezed out of the crowd with her two children and sneaked away.
At first, passers-by were minding their own business and avoiding them. Huang Xinran saw that something was wrong and when the thief resisted and failed to stop him, he crashed into the nearby canteen, damaging the goods and then he grabbed the goods in the canteen and threw them at her.
This has stirred up a hornet's nest!
The owner of the canteen was not willing to accept this loss, so he immediately gathered a lot of people to demand compensation.
I don’t know who took the opportunity to shout in the crowd: “Hit him!~”
This sentence stimulated everyone's sensitive nerves, and passers-by rushed forward, punching and kicking the thief...
Huang Xinran, who caught the thief at the beginning, had already hidden his merits and fame. He led his two children out of the crowd and went straight to the store he had taken a fancy to before.
"Are you scared?"
The situation was urgent just now, and Huang Xinran only had time to check on the two children now.
Unexpectedly, both of them stared at her with great interest in their eyes, without any sign of fear.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Yaya shook her arm happily: "Mom, that person was beaten so badly!~"
"Sister, don't feel sorry for him. He did something wrong and he deserves to be beaten."
Maomao rarely spoke.
"Pfft!~"
Huang Xinran bent down and pressed Maomao's mouth, smiling: "You can only say this in front of Mama, understand? Because, no matter if it's a thief or anyone else, you can't just infringe on other people's rights! Anyway, remember, if this happens again in the future, you must clean up the mess secretly. Don't say this when there are outsiders around. Understand?"
"Why? Mommy..."
"No reason, just remember it."
Oh, she seems to have corrupted the children by saying this. But who made her really think that those thieves should be beaten?
Huang Xinran was very satisfied with the two stores he chose last time.
Coming back to check again this time actually means it’s finally finalized.
She looked at both stores again, but still felt that both stores had their merits.
But after a comprehensive consideration, she still thinks that the store, which will be demolished in a few years, has a better location. This is not only reflected in the wider store, but also in the location and the greater flow of people, and the business is more planned.
Of course, the disadvantages are equally obvious. For example, the business can only be run for a few years. As soon as a stable customer base is established, it has to move to another location. The rent is twice as expensive as the other store based on the area. The boss is not easy to talk to, so there is not much room for negotiation on the price...
There are so many advantages and disadvantages, but Huang Xinran still can't bear to give up.
Actually, although the unit price of the other store is half the price, the total area of that store is larger, and it also includes the house behind the store and the rooms upstairs. Overall, the total price of the two stores is not much different.
Huang Xinran was very hesitant.
Perhaps because she was too entangled, Maomao, who had been following her quietly, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Hey!~Are you going to buy a house?"
"What do you mean by buying a house? I'm planning to rent a shop..."
Huang Xinran was stunned when he realized what was happening. "Why would you think so?"
She never said in front of the children that she wanted to buy a house, right?
Although she has always wanted to buy a house, as we all know, house prices will continue to rise over the next few decades, so it is definitely more cost-effective to buy a house now than to buy it in the future.
"Aunt Tang said she was going to buy a house. I thought..." Maomao slowly lowered his head. His family was so poor. He must be crazy to think that this bad woman was going to buy a house...
"Aunt Tang? Are you talking about Tang Yueyue? When did she say she wanted to buy a house?"
Yes, this is in line with Tang Yueyue's personality. However, now that Xiao Huayu is in trouble and has been arrested by the police, is she still in the mood to buy a house?
"After that wild man was arrested, Aunt Tang came to your house to look for you. When you were not at home, she told Grandpa about it."
Maomao is a thoughtful child. He usually speaks very little and is very quiet.
It's easy to overlook him.
In addition, because he was young, the adults thought he didn't understand anything and didn't speak behind his back.
Last time, Tang Yueyue came to Huang Xinran to plead for Xiao Huayu, but Huang Xinran was not at home, so she chatted with Lu Tianlei for half a day. During the conversation, she talked a lot and even said something harsh. As long as Huang Xinran was willing to forgive Xiao Huayu once, she was willing to let Huang Xinran live in the house she had just bought.
Lu Tianlei had long known about the past between Huang Xinran and Xiao Huayu. He had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, but that didn't mean he was happy to see his daughter-in-law interacting with her former fiancé.
Tang Yueyue was willing to let Huang Xinran live in the house she had just bought, which was tantamount to flattery. Lu Tianlei was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and drove her away.
Afterwards, naturally, he did not mention it in front of Huang Xinran.
Now, when Maomao saw Huang Xinran asking about the price of the house, she thought that her mother wanted to buy a house and asked subconsciously. This exposed the fact that Tang Yueyue had come to see her.
“We are not buying a house for the time being…”
Yes, why didn't she just buy the store?
Huang Xinran's eyes lit up and a plan came to mind.
"Oh, you are so kind, Maomao! Just one word from you has helped Mama so much without her realizing it!~"
Huang Xinran was so excited that he held Maomao and kissed her twice.
Two sweet kisses fell on Maomao's forehead, and his little face turned red with embarrassment.
Mom, she actually kissed him?
Mom kissed him!
He likes Mama so much...
"Mom, so many people are watching us. Let me go..." Maomao struggled shyly, broke free from Huang Xinran's arms, and felt a little lost.
He also wants his mom to kiss him again.
