Chapter 403 Are You Her Brother?
Xiaoting looked up and saw two ruffian-looking young men opposite her.
"Xiaoting." The other party called.
She was stunned for a moment, looked at the other person carefully, and finally recognized him, feeling a little surprised.
"Xiaoting, you won't pretend not to know us!" Lin Zhendong laughed.
Lin Zhenbei also responded: "Yeah! Don't you brothers recognize me?"
"Brother Zhendong, Brother Zhenbei." Xiaoting thought for a while and called them brother.
"Oh, that's right!" Lin Zhendong said with a smile.
"I'm going home for lunch. If I don't go back soon, my mother will come looking for me." Xiaoting said again.
"We haven't eaten yet. We haven't eaten either. Come on, come on, let your brothers treat you to a meal!" Lin Zhendong showed no intention of letting go and began to pull her bicycle.
"Yes! We haven't seen each other for several years! Let's go and catch up. Just tell me what you want to eat. The brothers will treat you." Lin Zhenbei continued.
"No need, maybe next time!" Xiaoting insisted on holding the bicycle tightly.
"Why are you being so polite? Let's go!" Lin Zhendong pulled the bicycle hard.
They are both very strong, Xiaoting definitely can't pull it apart.
Just as the two men were pulling the bicycle and Xiaoting, Xiaoting suddenly let go. The two men were caught off guard and fell to the ground with the bicycle.
When they got up and looked at Xiaoting again, Xiaoting had already run far away.
My mom taught me that if someone tries to take something from you, just give it to them and run away.
Uncle Zhou taught me that if you are not sure you can win, then run away. Don't fight the opponent, run to where there are more people.
Xiaoting quickly crossed the street and ran towards the bookstore. At this time, someone came towards her, and she didn't have time to stop her feet and bumped into that person.
"Xiaoting, what's wrong?" The man's voice was anxious, but familiar. It was Dongzhe.
"Lin Zhendong, Lin Zhenbei, they insisted on taking me away!" Xiaoting pointed in the direction of the alley.
Two people were already pushing the cart towards this side.
Dongzhe thought for a while when he heard these two names, and then he remembered that they were Xiaoting's two cousins from the Zhuang family. Because of doubts about their background, they left with their mother Lin Fang, and their household registration was transferred to Lin Fang's household registration, and they took the surname Lin.
Lin Fang left them at her mother's house and went to work in the town factory. She could stay at her mother's house for a day or two, or a month or two, but there would definitely be conflicts in the long run. In the end, her mother's family felt that the two children were not suitable for her, so Lin Fang had no choice but to take the two children to live in the town.
The two of them stayed in the town until they graduated from junior high school. When they turned sixteen, they went out to look for work, but they were neither smart nor hardworking, so they couldn't stay anywhere for long. Now they rely on asking Lin Fang for money to make a living, and usually hang out outside.
Dongzhe supported Xiaoting and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Xiaoting shook her head.
At this time, the two of them had already arrived with the cart, and Dongzhe stopped Xiaoting behind him.
"Oh! You have an appointment with someone! No wonder you don't want to have dinner with us." Lin Zhendong teased.
"Brother Zhendong, Brother Zhenbei!" Dongzhe exclaimed in surprise.
The two were stunned when they heard him call them so affectionately: "You are..."
"I'm Lin Dongzhe! Xiaoting's neighbor, don't you recognize me?" Dongzhe stepped forward and said.
They didn't visit Huang Ling many times after she moved, and they had no impression of the neighbor's children's appearance, but there was one person they remembered.
"If you want to borrow a bicycle, I'll lend it to you! Xiaoting, this is for girls." Dongzhe said this in a light voice, but his expression was very cold.
"We haven't seen Xiaoting for a long time and want to invite her to dinner." Lin Zhenbei replied.
"Eat! Okay! Treat me too! I haven't eaten yet!" Dongzhe stepped forward to grab the bicycle.
As he walked forward, he waved his hands behind his back, signaling Xiaoting not to come forward.
The two of them didn't let go, feeling that they were not afraid of a two-on-one situation:
"We don't even know you, why should we invite you to dinner? Who do you think you are?"
"Then why don't I treat you guys to a meal?"
Dongzhe was not afraid at all. He walked closer and whispered fiercely:
"How about I ask you to eat jail food? I advise you to let go, otherwise the next sentence I will say is not 'eating', but 'robbing'! Don't talk about brother and sister, are you her brothers? Are you doing what a brother should do?
She is the victim, I am the witness, the police station is 200 meters away, do you think there is lunch for you there?"
"You are so arrogant!" Lin Zhendong said angrily.
"Of course I can! I can even knock out both of your teeth before the police arrive, and earn the title of a hero!"
As Dongzhe spoke, he pulled the bicycle with such force that Lin Zhenbei's hands were not in the right place and he let go because of the pain.
He shook his hands and shouted, "You kid!"
Dongzhe was ready for a fight, so he loosened his grip and clenched his fists.
Xiaoting was afraid that Dongzhe would suffer if they took action, so she was about to run to the bookstore to find someone to help her. At this moment, someone called out:
"Lin Dongzhe!"
Xiaoting and Dongzhe looked sideways and saw that it was Chen Shurui.
Chen Shurui was holding a lunch box in his hand, and it seemed that he was bringing food to his mother.
He walked up to Dongzhe and asked:
"You're here to buy books! Let's go find my mom. I'm bringing her food. These two are..."
Lin Zhendong and Lin Zhenbei looked at each other. Lin Dongzhe looked very arrogant and now he had a helper. The helper's mother also worked in the bookstore, so he seemed difficult to deal with, so they let go.
"Xiaoting, since you have made an appointment with your friends, we brothers will treat you to dinner next time." Lin Zhendong smiled and tilted his head to Lin Zhenbei, and the two left.
The three of them watched them leave, and Chen Shurui breathed a sigh of relief before Xiaoting and Dongzhe.
"What are you doing here!" Dongzhe gritted his teeth.
"Bring food to my mother!" Chen Shurui said, holding up the lunch box in his hand.
"No, I'm asking you why you came up to join in the fun!" Dongzhe said unhappily, but he put away his cold demeanor.
"What else can I do? Help! Those two are obviously not good people. You pushed Huang Xiaoting's car and stopped her. How can I not understand? As good brothers, I must help!"
Chen Shurui was also smart. He felt something was wrong when he saw their situation from a distance, so he quickly took two steps forward to help.
"Thank you!"
"No need to thank me, it's a small matter. But I have never fought before, and I don't know how to fight if I really do..." Chen Shurui looked sincere.
"Forget it!" Dongzhe gritted his teeth again, "Xiaoting, let's go."
He got on his bike and waited for Xiaoting to get on.
"Oh, thank you, Chen Shurui."
"You're welcome. Goodbye."
Xiaoting sat sideways on the back seat, and Dongzhe made sure she was seated firmly before he started riding the bike.
He rode very fast all the way and took her home.
Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi were both at home, having just prepared lunch. Seeing the two of them coming back together, Huang Ling asked:
"We met in the bookstore!"
Xiaoting looked at Dongzhe.
Dongzhe told Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi everything that had just happened.
They all knew that nothing could be hidden from these two.
After listening to this, Zhou Huaiyi took off his apron and handed it to Huang Ling: "You and the children eat first, I'll be back soon."
"I'm going too." Huang Ling put her apron on the table.
Zhou Huaiyi thought about it, he had only met the other person once or twice, and was afraid that he would not recognize him, so he replied:
"Okay, Xiaoting and Dongzhe, you two can eat first. You don't have to wait for us."
"Dongzhe, call your mother and tell her you are having dinner here so she won't be anxious later." Huang Ling instructed again.
"I understand, Auntie."
After watching the two of them leave, Dongzhe made a phone call. Afraid that Song Ying would be worried, he didn't say much. He just said that he met Xiaoting in the bookstore and wanted to go to her house for dinner together.
"They ran away a long time ago. Where can we find them?" Xiaoting said worriedly.
"Don't worry! With the abilities of my Uncle Zhou and my Aunt, we will definitely find it. It's time for dinner!" Dongzhe sat down at the table and put a big shrimp into Xiaoting's bowl.
Xiaoting understood that the two of them must be eating at a small restaurant near the bookstore.
Before opening Suihualou, her mother and Aunt Zhu had researched all the restaurants, big and small, in the entire area and were very familiar with them.
