Chapter 195 Mao Mao Covers Up!
The mere mention of the Green Gang's name left Master Deng and his henchmen speechless with fear.
After stammering for a while, Deng managed to force a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Brother... let's talk this out. I really didn't know this person was under the protection of the Green Gang."
If he had known earlier, why would he have come to collect protection money?
They treat people like gods of wealth, they can't even keep up with the demand.
"Brother, I promise, I promise I'll never dare to cause trouble for that mother and son again," Master Deng pleaded. "Please forgive me this time."
Nie Zhengyun's subordinates didn't speak, but instead looked at Mao Mao first.
How to deal with this person depends on what their young lady decides.
But Mao Mao had no time to deal with the bad guys; she was busy taking care of the He family mother and son behind her.
"Brother, Auntie, are you alright?" Mao Mao asked with concern. "Did they hit you? Brother, I saw you get pushed. Does it hurt?"
He Mingshu and his mother stared blankly at everything that was happening before their eyes.
The phrase "a young lady from the Green Gang" not only startled Master Deng, but also gave the mother and son a big fright.
When did they get involved with such powerful figures?
It wasn't until they heard the girl's concerned inquiry that the two snapped out of their daze and shook their heads blankly, saying, "N-nothing."
Really?
"Really." He Mingshu hesitated and glanced back at his mother. "Although they pushed me, I wasn't hurt."
Mao Mao was finally relieved.
"Maomao!"
Lou Hongjian quickly caught up, picked up the little dumpling from the ground, and examined her fair and tender face from all sides. Seeing that there wasn't a single bruise, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lou Hongjian lectured his younger sister, "Mao Mao, why are you running so fast? If something happens, you should hide behind your brother. There are adults here. You're such a small child; someone could flick you away with just one finger."
Mao Mao said angrily, "But they bullied my brother."
Lou Hongjian then looked at He Mingshu beside him.
Noticing his gaze, and especially seeing his expensive clothes, both mother and son became somewhat reserved.
Although he didn't know why the mother and son were so favored by Mao Mao, he couldn't blame the younger sister for her righteousness. Lou Hongjian patted his sister's head and reminded her again not to run ahead next time before looking at the thugs who had come to cause trouble.
Over there, Uncle Deng had gone from calling him "Big Brother" to "Ancestor," begging for mercy until he was almost dry-mouthed.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I really won't do it again. From now on, I'll stay far away from them whenever I see them, and I promise I'll never be on the same street as them again..."
Nie Zhengyun's men remained motionless, awaiting orders.
Nie Zhengyun waved his hand.
The subordinate then released Master Deng: "Get out!"
Deng bowed and scraped, not daring to utter a single word, and led his men away as quickly as possible.
"etc."
This time, Lou Hongjian called the person to a stop.
Lou Hongjian nodded his chin, gesturing for them to look at the mess on the ground.
Broken porcelain pieces and wonton soup were scattered all over the floor, and tables and chairs were overturned.
"You've smashed up someone's stall like this? Are you just going to leave like this?"
He Mingshu suddenly interjected in a low voice, "They ate fifteen bowls of wontons and haven't paid yet."
Mother He quickly tugged at his sleeve and whispered a reminder: "Xiao Shu!"
He Mingshu remained stubborn and refused to change his mind.
"Fifteen bowls?" Lou Hongjian was taken aback, looking at Master Deng and the others in surprise: "They can eat so much?"
Master Deng and his men grinned sheepishly, reached into each other's pockets, pulled out a handful of copper coins, and placed them on a perfectly intact table nearby.
Lou Hongjian turned around and asked, "Is this enough?"
With a bitter face, Uncle Deng said, "That's all we have. We can't even come up with a single copper coin."
Although the bowls were broken, the tables and chairs could still be used after being propped up, so the loss wasn't significant. He Mingshu didn't count them; he glanced at them roughly and, seeing that the number was about right, nodded: "That's enough."
Lou Hongjian: "Get out!"
Deng and his men were overjoyed at being granted a pardon and hurriedly ran away.
Mother He led her son forward, bowing repeatedly to the siblings, Nie Zhengyun, and his men, expressing her deepest gratitude: "Thank you so much, thank you so much to all my benefactors, you have been a great help!"
“Madam, you don’t need to be so polite.” Lou Hongjian quickly used one hand to stop the woman from bowing: “We were just passing by and saw it, it was nothing. Anyone else would have done the same.”
Mao Mao nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes!"
Mother He kept thanking her.
With so many people passing by, not everyone wants to get into trouble. Otherwise, why would a four-year-old child be the one to lend a helping hand?
Moreover, this young girl comes from an extraordinary background.
She had just heard that man call her "a young lady from the Green Gang"!
When did they meet such an important person?
Mother He was filled with trepidation. As a commoner who sold wontons at a street stall, she had certainly heard of the Green Gang, but she would never dare to associate herself with such a famous gang. At this moment, she became particularly tongue-tied and did not know what to say except to apologize.
"Young Master, Miss, thank you so much." Madam He wiped her hands on her apron and said anxiously, "Would you like some wontons? I'll make you a few bowls..."
"You don't need to be so polite."
Lou Hongjian glanced at the thin boy behind her, then smiled and said, "I heard you say that your son is a student at Haicheng Middle School? My younger brother also studies at Haicheng Middle School. It's a good school, so your son must be a very good student."
When talking about her son, Mrs. He's face was filled with pride.
“Our little Shu does have excellent grades; he often gets first place.”
"What a coincidence! My younger brother is also a good student and always gets first place!" Lou Hongjian said, "Good students should focus on their studies. Don't worry, those people definitely won't dare to come again."
In Haicheng, the reputation of the Green Gang is very useful, and most people dare not go against them.
Sitting in her brother's lap, Mao Mao nodded and patted herself with her little hands: "Brother, Auntie, if they bully you again, come find Mao Mao!"
This older brother and aunt are being protected by Mao Mao!
Nie Zhengyun interjected from the side: "The theater is about to open."
oh!
Oh, right!
They were supposed to go see a play.
Upon hearing that the theater was about to start, Mao Mao didn't care about anything else and hurriedly waved her little hand at the mother and son: "Bye-bye brother, bye-bye auntie."
Then she hugged her brother and urged in her little voice, "Quick, quick, brother, let's watch the show!"
What else could Lou Hongjian say?
Of course, I obediently became my sister's mount and quickly carried her back to the car.
Just as suddenly as they appeared, a group of people suddenly appeared, rescued the mother and child, and then suddenly left.
Only after the black car disappeared from sight did He Mingshu bend down to clean up the broken porcelain shards on the ground.
"Xiao Shu," Mother He leaned closer and asked softly, "when did you meet the young lady from the Green Gang?"
He Mingshu answered her in a low voice, "Mom, I don't know either."
"you do not know?"
“Last time at the hospital, she mistook me for her brother.”
It turns out her brother also attends Haicheng Middle School. He was wearing his school uniform that day, which explains why he was mistaken for her.
Last time, he was only concerned about his mother's illness and didn't take the accident to heart, but this time he remembered it deeply. It turned out that her name was Mao Mao.
What an adorable little girl! I wonder who her brother is. However, the young master of the Green Gang is someone he wouldn't normally associate with. He was extremely grateful to them for saving him and his mother and helping them resolve Deng Ye's troubles, but he could only keep this gratitude in his heart, unsure how to repay them.
Upon hearing a certain word, He's mother suddenly fell silent and began cleaning up the mess on the floor with her son.
After a while, the floor was cleaned and the tables and chairs were all rearranged.
He Mingshu suddenly spoke up: "Mom, you should go get treatment."
"Xiao Shu, what did you say?" Mother He turned around in surprise: "Didn't we agree not to mention this?"
"but……"
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine." Mother He shoveled the wrapped wontons into the deep pot, the rising steam blurring her vision. "Didn't you hear what that young master said earlier? Good students should focus on their studies and not worry about those things. Study hard, get into university, and your grandma in heaven will be happy."
"..."
"Now it's all good. That kind lady solved Mr. Deng's problem for us. We don't have to pay him anymore every month. We can use that money to buy you a new pair of shoes... Are your shoes worn out again? I see all the students are wearing leather shoes, so I'll give you some too..."
"No." He Mingshu interrupted her, "My shoes are still wearable, you can just mend them for me."
"Then, I'll buy you some more stationery, like paper and pens, since you go through them quickly while studying."
"Mom, let's go get treatment."
"…Xiao Shu, let's not talk about this anymore." Mother He sighed, supporting her aching back. "Would you like some wontons? I'll make you a bowl."
"..."
"..."
He Mingshu said in a low voice, "How about I quit school?"
"What did you say?!"
Mother He immediately put down the large iron ladle in her hand and walked towards him, her expression anxious: "Xiao Shu, don't talk nonsense! Your grades are so good, it would be such a waste if you didn't study. You're going to go to university! Xiao Shu, don't be confused..."
"..."
