After hearing that, Kerr Lin was very curious. She wondered if Xiao Chen and Tang Tang came back to sell breakfast again. So, she found a little free time and rushed over excitedly.
When she arrived at the place, Kerr Lin took a closer look and found that although the stall was also selling fried dough sticks and fried cakes, the man and the woman were very strange. She didn't know them at all.
Disappointed, Kerr Lin was about to leave. Suddenly, the corner of her eyes caught the equipment of the stall … It seemed a little familiar! Why did it look like it was used by Xiao Chen before?
"Excuse … excuse me, is your Tang's Breakfast Shop … newly opened? I don't think I've seen it before! "Kerr Lin hesitated for a moment, but still plucked up her courage and went forward to ask.
"Yes! We just opened a few days ago. " Xiao Chen answered casually. Suddenly, he felt that the voice was a little familiar. He looked up subconsciously and was stunned!
Kerr Lin? Why is she here?
For Kerr Lin, this simple and kind little girl, Xiao Chen's heart had always been very complicated. He didn't know how to position himself. It was true that he liked her a little, but it was estimated that there would be no development between them!
After all, there was no more intersection in life. Xiao Chen could only help her family as much as possible.
"Oh … My house used to be at the place where you are now, so … I'm sorry, I just … found your equipment a little familiar, so I wanted to ask if these things were given to you by Xiao Chen? You … Do you know where he and Sister Tang Tang are? " Kerr Lin didn't know that Xiao Chen had recognized her. She hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously.
"Oh, they seemed to have left Songning City after they transferred the stall to me. I'm not too sure where exactly they went. Why don't you call them and ask?" Xiao Chen could only find a perfunctory excuse to brush her off. He couldn't protect himself now, so it was better not to let Kerr Lin know the truth.
He didn't know what had happened when this little girl suddenly came to find him. Could it be that her family's shop was threatened by hooligans again?
"I … I called them, but their phones were turned off. I couldn't get in touch with them!" Kerr Lin shook her head in disappointment.
Although she didn't have a cell phone, she always remembered Xiao Chen and Tang Tang's phone numbers. She had already tried to contact him a few times, but his phone was always turned off. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get through.
In fact, Kerr Lin's main purpose was to find Xiao Chen. It wasn't because she had encountered any trouble, but because he had often helped the Lin family in the past. Although he looked scary, he was still a good person. She had finally saved some money and wanted to treat Xiao Chen to a meal to thank him in person, but she couldn't get in touch with him no matter how hard she tried.
"Xiao …" Cheng Mengying sold out the stock in front of her in a flash, but she didn't get any fresh fried dough sticks for a long time. She was still wondering why there was no movement from Xiao Chen. When she turned her head, she found that he was actually chatting with Kerr Lin. She almost died of anger.
Due to inertia, Cheng Mengying subconsciously called out Xiao Chen's name. Fortunately, she found something wrong halfway, so she immediately stopped and changed her words, "Xiao … Kid, what are you doing? Hurry up and get to work! Are you stupid when you see a young girl? Don't talk nonsense there. Don't you see so many people waiting in line? Are you making them anxious? "
Maybe it was still not enough, Cheng Mengying asked Kerr Lin, "Little girl, are you going to buy breakfast? If you are, you have to line up according to the rules! "
"No … I'm not buying breakfast. Sorry … Sorry to bother you. You guys go ahead!" Kerr Lin was shocked and quickly waved her hand. She took a few steps back and turned to walk to her stall.
But before she walked two steps, she seemed to think of something. Kerr Lin suddenly turned her head and looked at Cheng Mengying a few times in confusion. She felt that her voice was a bit familiar as if she had heard it somewhere, but her face was very strange. Did I hear it wrong?
After thinking about it, Kerr Lin still shook her head and left. There were too many people in the world with similar voices. She didn't know the one in front of her at all. She must have heard it wrong.
"I say, Eldest Miss, Lin Ke-er was just curious and came over to ask. Why are you so fierce to her? Don't tell me you're jealous?" Xiao Chen teased as he continued to fry the youtiao in his hands.
When he was with Tang Tang and Shen Jingxuan, the Miss didn't seem to be so resistant! Only when she was facing Kerr Lin, she always looked at her with hostility. He didn't know what was going on.
"Hmph! Who has the time to care about your romantic debts? " Cheng Mengying rolled her eyes and snappily said, "You brat, you've never been able to keep your mouth shut, especially after seeing Lin Ke-er, it's as if you've lost your soul!"
"Did I?" Xiao Chen scratched his head. He didn't seem to have much of a reaction, did he?
"Of course you did!" Cheng Mengying glared at him hatefully and said, "What if you accidentally expose your identity and the people from the Kui Mountain Sect find out?"
"Uh … Even if Kerr Lin knows, it won't be a big deal, right? And it seems that you almost blurted out my name just now. How can you blame it on me? "Xiao Chen muttered helplessly.
"I … I saw that you were just chatting and not doing business, so I blurted it out in a hurry. Now you're blaming me! " Cheng Mengying quibbled, then frowned and said, "But we really should be careful, or else we'll accidentally spill it. How about … we give ourselves a fake name? From now on, when we set up our stall, we'll call each other by their fake names! "
"Okay, what name do you want?" Xiao Chen didn't mind and asked casually.
"Let me think … Oh right! I'll call you Lil 'Yi, and you call me Yaoyao. Okay! It's decided! " Cheng Mengying thought for a while and gave the answer, nodding heavily with a satisfied expression.
"What Lil 'Yi and Yaoyao, where did you find such weird names? It doesn't sound good at all. " Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, but he didn't strongly object. It was just a code name anyway. If the Miss liked to call them that, then let her be!
"It's the main characters in School Belle's Adjunct, Lin Yi and Chu Mengyao! It's a popular drama on IQIYI recently, haven't you seen it? You're simply too old-fashioned! Hurry up and tutor yourself, or else we won't have anything in common. "Cheng Mengying glanced at Xiao Chen with disgust and reprimanded him.
"Okay, I'll go check it out when I have time." Xiao Chen replied casually, but he was pondering in his heart. Why did those two hooligans wearing security uniforms disappear without a trace in the past few days? Logically speaking, according to their attitude last time, they should immediately bring people to find trouble! He was still waiting for them to send money, he was so poor recently!
A few days ago, Xiao Chen installed broadband and wifi in his house, and bought necessary appliances such as a washing machine and a refrigerator. The two thousand yuan had long been spent.
Now, although the income from selling breakfast every day was one to two hundred yuan, it was only enough to maintain the living expenses of the two people. They didn't have much money on hand at all.
However, what Xiao Chen didn't know was that the two punks actually came to the morning market every day, extorting money everywhere, but every time they avoided his stall and went to find trouble with other people.
The two of them didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke Xiao Chen. Anyway, there wasn't much in the morning market, but there were a lot of stalls, and it was enough even if the two of them casually collected money.
"Motherf * cker, we were too unlucky that day, not only did we not receive a single cent, but we also lost a few thousand for no reason. These days, no matter how much money we collect, we can't make up for it. It's a big loss, it's like losing a wife and a soldier!" The tall man had a cast and bandage on his right hand, and he was cursing as he wandered on the morning market, followed by the squint-eyed skinny guy.
"Just bear with it for now! Yesterday, I reported to my big brother, he is now in Lan City, working for some Japanese merchant. He already knows about this situation, and he said that he will bring a few experts back in a few days to stand up for us. When that time comes, we can hold our heads high! "The squint-eyed skinny guy said in a muffled voice as he looked at the surrounding stalls threateningly.
The squint-eyed skinny guy was also very depressed, but the other party's strength was there for all to see, no matter how arrogant he was, there was nothing he could do if he couldn't beat him!
"Eh? Quick, look, that stall seems to be newly opened, it looks quite unfamiliar! "The tall man suddenly pointed at a stall not far away, and shouted in joy.
The squint-eyed skinny guy looked over, and sure enough, he saw a young couple with a stall, running a business selling pancakes and meat buns. However, the couple didn't seem to be interested in the business in front of them, and they didn't seem to be greeting customers. Instead, they kept whispering to each other, as if they were discussing something, and from time to time, they would look at another stall.
"Oh ho, that girl looks quite good!" The squint-eyed skinny guy's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously licked his lips. With an evil smile, he said, "Let's go, let's go take a look! Even if we can't get any benefits, if we can trick that girl into our bed, and make this old man happy, it's worth it! Hehe! "
The two's eyes emitted green light, and they swaggered to the stall. The tall man kicked the leg of the table, and angrily shouted, "Hey! Are you new here? Have you paid protection fees for this stall? Have you applied for a stall permit? "
"What protection fees, permit?" Little Xing, who was disguised as a man, frowned, and looked at the two people in front of her. They didn't seem to have come with good intentions, so she didn't hold back and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I've never heard of a permit! If you don't want to die, then scram! "
It turned out that Little Xing and Ling Qianxue had just bought a stall at the morning market a few days ago, and the location was diagonally opposite Xiao Chen's stall, so that it would be easier to monitor. Little Xing even purposely put on makeup for Ling Qianxue, to ensure that she wouldn't be recognized by Xiao Chen.
However, although the two were very strong, when it came to doing morning work, they were instantly dumbfounded — they didn't know how to do it! Left with no other choice, Xing could only find the previous stall owner and hire him to work for them.
