Chapter 151 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 19
When Zhou Yaoqi returned home in the afternoon, he found Shen Xinran sitting alone on the sofa, staring at the TV screen intently, with the volume of the TV unusually loud.
Zhou Yaoqi didn't think much about it and turned around to take a shower. But when he came out of the shower, Shen Xinran was still watching that channel.
You know, what's playing on TV now are advertisements. In the past, Shen Xinran would have changed the channel long ago.
After Zhou Yaoqi noticed that something was wrong with Shen Xinran, he sat down next to Shen Xinran and asked casually, "I was away at noon. Did you have a good meal?"
Shen Xinran's face didn't show much expression. She replied calmly, "I went to my mother's house to eat, and I also gave them the clothes I bought for them for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhou Yaoqi gently put his arm around Shen Xinran's waist and continued to ask with a smile: "Then why do I feel that you are in a bad mood today?"
Speaking of this, Shen Xinran became angry.
She turned to look at Zhou Yaoqi and complained, "Zhao Pengbo gets into fights every now and then. How can I be happy?"
Zhou Yaoqi smiled slightly, "This guy is fighting and causing trouble, most likely because he has too much free time. Find him something to do, and the problem will be solved."
Shen Xinran rolled her eyes at Zhou Yaoqi and said unhappily, "That's easy for you to say."
It’s not like the Zhao family didn’t find work for Zhao Pengbo, but he didn’t even want to manage his own fruit shop.
Question 2: When Shen Xinran arrived at work on time as usual, she happened to meet Feng Xue at the door, who had also arrived on time.
Feng Xue smiled mysteriously at Shen Xinran, "Guess who I ran into after get off work last night?"
Shen Xinran frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Who did you meet?"
Feng Xue leaned close to Shen Xinran's ear and whispered, "I saw Jiang Ying also got her hair done."
Shen Xinran's expression was indifferent, "What does this have to do with me?"
Feng Xue seemed a little disappointed, but still took Shen Xinran with her to wait on the road that Jiang Ying had to take to get to the drama troupe.
Then, Shen Xinran saw Jiang Ying appear with a striking red hair, the color of which was even brighter than her own.
Moreover, the clothes Jiang Ying was wearing were exactly the same style as the one he wore yesterday.
Feng Xue said with a hint of joking, "See? She's imitating you."
Not only did Shen Xinran see Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying also saw Shen Xinran. She walked up to Shen Xinran with a proud look on her face, "It's not illegal to do hair. There's no rule so only you can do it!"
Shen Xinran: “…”
But how should I put it? This is difficult to evaluate.
Jiang Ying has a darker skin tone, a healthy wheat-colored one.
I really don't know where she got the courage to choose the bright red color that doesn't suit her the most.
Shen Xinran tried her best to maintain a polite smile and said lightly, "It's okay, as long as you like it."
…
At the same time, Zhao Pengbo spent the whole afternoon moving goods at Zhao's house. He was exhausted and had to rest for three days.
When he woke up in the morning, he saw He Hongxia busy in the kitchen, so he walked over and said with a flattering smile, "Mom, can you give me some money?"
He Hongxia glared at him and replied, "Your father manages the family's money. Where would I get the money from?"
Zhao Pengbo insisted: "Last time I came back, I must have given you money. I only want five dollars, okay?"
Seeing that He Hongxia was still unmoved, he took He Hongxia's hand and said coquettishly: "Mom, you are the best. Everyone else has money, but I don't. How embarrassing."
He Hongxia finally smiled, took out five yuan from her apron pocket and handed it to him: "Okay, I really can't do anything about you."
After Zhao Pengbo got the money, he immediately kissed He Hongxia on the cheek, turned around and left, saying as he walked, "I'm eating out at noon today and I'm not going home."
He Hongxia sighed deeply and could only shout at Zhao Pengbo's back, "Remember to spend sparingly, don't spend it all at once."
Zhao Pengbo took the money and found his good buddy, a yellow-haired guy who was about the same age as him, and said, "Come on, I have money, I'll treat you to a meal."
However, the first thing Huangmao asked when he saw him was, "What happened to your face? Did your sister hit you again?"
Zhao Pengbo rolled his eyes. "My dad always beats people with a stick. Apart from my sister, who else would slap me with their hands?"
Huangmao shook his head, puzzled: "Doesn't your mother love you very much? Why doesn't she care about you?"
Zhao Pengbo chuckled: "This is what my life will be like. She is still counting on my sister to support her in her old age. What can she say?"
Huang Mao frowned and offered a suggestion: "But you can't let your sister bully you forever. Have you ever thought about resisting?"
Zhao Pengbo's eyes widened. "Do you think I'm so brave? If I fight back, my sister will chase me with a knife and chop me."
With his character, his death wouldn't cause any loss to his family. Maybe his parents would even feel lucky and help his sister hide the body.
Zhao Pengbo and Huangmao had a lot of fun outside and spent all the money they had. They didn't separate and go home until dark.
As soon as Zhao Pengbo arrived at the door of his house, he saw a familiar figure downstairs. It was Zhou Yaoqi.
Zhao Pengbo felt a little nervous, but he still walked forward and greeted with a smile: "Brother-in-law, why don't you come up and sit down?"
Zhou Yaoqi's voice was low and serious: "No need, I came to see you."
Zhao Pengbo's heart tightened, and he asked cautiously, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhou Yaoqi smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "I heard that you like fighting, so I specially arranged two sparring partners for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yaoqi made a gesture, and two shirtless miners came out from behind him. Their arms were thicker than Zhao Pengbo's thighs.
A sense of fear rose in Zhao Pengbo's heart. He stepped back involuntarily and said with a stiff smile, "Brother-in-law, I like fighting, but I don't like being beaten."
However, two miners blocked him from the front and the back, with Zhou Yaoqi on one side and a wall on the other. Zhao Pengbo had nowhere to hide.
One of the miners held Zhao Pengbo's arm, while the other attacked him with his fists.
Zhao Pengbo let out a scream that echoed through the sky.
Zhou Yaoqi stood aside and calmly reminded: "Be careful, don't be too loud, don't disturb the neighbors."
The miner who had hit Zhao Pengbo nodded, took off his coat and stuffed it into Zhao Pengbo's mouth to stop him from shouting.
Zhao Pengbo looked at Zhou Yaoqi with tears in his eyes. You are a nice person. You are actually worried about disturbing the neighbors. But since you care so much about the feelings of people around you, why did you still come to beat him!
At this moment, He Hongxia upstairs turned on the light, sat up from the bed, frowned and said, "Why do I hear Xiaobo calling?"
Father Zhao sighed and comforted her, saying, "You just gave him five dollars today. He won't come back until midnight. Let's go to bed early. We have to get up early tomorrow."
He Hongxia thought it made sense, so she nodded, turned off the lights, and lay down again.
The sudden flickering of the light sent Zhao Pengbo into a state of turmoil. He wanted to call for help, but something was stuffed in his mouth, preventing him from making a sound.
A line of sad tears quietly slid down from the corners of my eyes. Mom and Dad, why don’t you take a look downstairs? Your beloved little son is being beaten by a group of people!
