Chapter 41 -41 Minor Turmoil at the Vegetable Market

Han Min looked at her daughter getting truly angry and was slightly stunned for a moment.

Then, a smile appeared on Han Min’s face, “Yuechan, look at you, getting all worked up. There’s no need for that, dear. Mom was just joking, come on, get in the car, let’s go home together.”

“Mom, that kind of joke isn’t funny at all.”

Li Yuechan got back into the car.

And Han Min also opened the car door for Long Chen to get in.

Long Chen remained silent, sitting quietly in the back seat.

Although he was angry at Han Min’s behavior, he didn’t take it to heart.

After all, Han Min had done far worse things in the past; it was pointless to argue with someone like that.

When they returned to the Li Family’s villa, Long Chen saw three somewhat unfamiliar guests sitting in the living room, a middle-aged couple and a young man.

As soon as Han Min saw these three people, she enthusiastically rushed over, “Big brother, sister-in-law, something came up, and we are late, I’m really sorry.”

“It’s okay, we’re all family, no need to be so formal.”

The middle-aged man stood up with a full-faced smile, his gaze lingering on Li Yuechan for a moment, then nodding his head in satisfaction.

And that young man’s attention was fixed on Li Yuechan the whole time.

“Yuechan, aren’t you going to come over and greet your uncle and auntie? Oh, and this is Han Jieke, your second cousin,” Han Min pulled Li Yuechan over.

With a helpless heart, Li Yuechan nonetheless had to greet everyone with a smile on her face.

“It’s true what they say, girls change so much as they grow up. Yuechan, you’ve become even prettier than those stars, and those long legs of yours, even I am envious.”

The middle-aged woman beamed with a brilliant smile.

Her name was Gao Jinlan, the wife of Li Yuechan’s uncle, Han Xiao.

“Auntie flatters me too much, I’m not in the same league as the stars. Please take a seat.”

Li Yuechan said.

“Let’s all sit, let’s all sit down and chat, it’s not often we get to gather,” Han Xiao said.

“Everyone sit, oh and, what’s-his-name, Long Chen, go to the kitchen and cook some rice, then go out and buy a chicken and some other dishes,” Han Min casually turned her head and said to Long Chen.

Long Chen was taken aback. Was this a deliberate targeting?

“Mom, I’ll go. Long Chen is still recovering from saving Grandpa.”

Li Yuechan stood up quickly.

“It’s nothing major, don’t worry. Your uncle and his family rarely visit; you should spend more time with them,”

Han Min held onto Li Yuechan.

“Yuechan, I’ll go buy it, it’s no problem,”

Long Chen said with a smile.

He also didn’t want to stay in this place any longer.

“Then be careful and come back soon,” Li Yuechan instructed.

“Mhm.”

Long Chen turned and left the house.

“Is that Yuechan’s husband?”

Gao Jinlan asked Han Min in a low voice.

“What husband? He’s just a husband in name. I tell you, I can guarantee there is no actual marital relation between him and Yuechan,” Han Min immediately said.

“Oh, is that so?” Gao Jinlan’s eyes clearly brightened, “From what I can tell, I think my Jack is a much better match for Yuechan, it’s just a pity our relationship is a bit too close.”

“You’re mistaken; that isn’t an issue at all. I find Jack to be very pleasant no matter how I look at him,”

Han Min said.

Gao Jinlan, upon hearing this, exchanged a knowing smile with Han Min.

Their conversation was overheard by both Han Jieke and Li Yuechan.

Han Jieke was secretly thrilled, while Li Yuechan was filled with worry.

Her mother was truly unbearable, even going so far as to consider her second cousin, who was a close relative.

“Han Min, I heard that your family recently landed the project for the Wanxing shopping mall but are short on funds, is that right?” Han Xiao suddenly asked.

“Yes, big brother, I have indeed been worrying about this,”

Li Shiqi replied with a wry smile.

“I don’t have much, but for the children’s sake, I can lend you twenty million,”

Han Xiao said.

Upon hearing this, the couple, Han Min and her husband, were instantly excited.

For the children’s sake, they both understood what that meant.

“Big brother, if you don’t mind the close family ties, I would be a hundred percent in favor of Jack and Yuechan getting together,” Han Min said bluntly.

“Nowadays, who still cares about that? But what about Long Chen, are you sure you can handle it?” Han Xiao asked.

“We’ll take care of it, don’t worry, big brother,” Li Shiqi assured, patting his chest.

Listening more and more to the conversation, Li Yuechan felt increasingly uneasy and immediately said, “I don’t agree.”

…

Outside, Long Chen arrived at the market, picked up some groceries, and was about to head home when he stopped at the entrance.

Because he saw a commotion not far away.

A young man selling fruit from a tricycle was surrounded by a group of people.

“Kid, to set up a stall here, you need to pay a fee, got it? You’ve been here for over ten days, so let’s settle the account today. We won’t ask for much, just two thousand, and we won’t trouble you for the rest of the month. But next month, you’ll need to continue paying.”

The man with a beard and sunglasses, smoking a cigarette, looked ruthless.

The fruit vendor, upon hearing this, was very indignant, “I’m just selling at the entrance, I didn’t even enter the market. Besides, even if I were in the market, would it cost two thousand a month? And to take ten steps back, even if it did cost that much, I shouldn’t be paying you. Which department are you from? Is this how you charge fees?”

“Hey, this little guy doesn’t seem to know how things work. Boys, teach him a lesson.”

The bearded man tossed his cigarette away.

“Damn it, kid, you’re asking for it.”

“Let’s teach this ignorant brat a lesson.”

The bearded man’s two henchmen immediately grabbed the fruit vendor, intending to beat him up.

However, although the young man looked ordinary in build, his strength was surprisingly great, and the two henchmen couldn’t overpower him.

Seeing that things weren’t going his way, the bearded man shouted, “What are you standing around for? All of you, get him.”

At the bearded man’s command, everyone rushed forward.

This time, the young man was outnumbered and was pinned to the ground and beaten.

Bystanders watched, but no one stepped forward to intervene.

Through the crowd, Long Chen saw the young man’s eyes, filled with defiance.

In that second, Long Chen didn’t hesitate, stepping forward and grabbing the bearded man’s neck.

“Who… who are you?”

The bearded man struggled fiercely but couldn’t break free.

“If you don’t want to die, make them stop.”

Long Chen spoke indifferently.

“Let… let go first.”

“Fine.”

Long Chen released the bearded man.

But as soon as he did, the bearded man shouted loudly, “Brothers, take this one down first.”

The group immediately turned around.

“Boss, who do we hit?”

“Him, just him, he was the one who choked me, take him down first,” the bearded man pointed at Long Chen and yelled.

But before the group could make a move, Long Chen swiftly threw a punch, quickly subduing the lot of them.

The bearded man, too, was slapped to the ground, completely overpowered.

“Any Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they can run amok in the market, it seems like you’re the ones looking for trouble.”

Long Chen sneered.

While speaking, Long Chen reached out and helped the fruit vendor up from the ground.

“Thank you, big brother.”

The vendor hurriedly bowed and thanked him, having witnessed the entire scene of Long Chen subduing the group, he felt both grateful and in awe.

“It was nothing, don’t mention it. If you want to sell fruit here, then sell here. If anyone tries to charge you any crazy fees, just call me. My name is Long Chen.”

Long Chen gave the young man his phone number.

“Brother Chen, my name is Fu Li. You can call me Li. You’ve saved me today; if there’s ever anything I can do for you, just say the word.”

Fu Li said earnestly.

“Alright.”

Long Chen patted Fu Li’s shoulder.

Long Chen had a good impression of Fu Li, because facing the oppression of the bearded man and his lackeys, Fu Li didn’t retreat or compromise one bit.

Such a character was greatly admired by Long Chen.

At this moment, the bearded man struggled up from the ground, looked at Long Chen with some trepidation, and said in a low voice, “Big brother, my apologies for earlier. Rest assured, we won’t trouble this young man anymore.”

“Get lost.”

Long Chen’s expression remained calm.

“Yes, yes.”

The bearded man hurriedly staggered away.

Surrounding onlookers broke into applause at this moment.

But Long Chen paid no attention to the clapping.

Because these same people had stood by indifferently watching as Fu Li was beaten.

“Brother Chen, here.”

At that moment, Fu Li brought over a big bag of apples and handed them to Long Chen, “Brother Chen, I don’t know how else to thank you. This is a small token of my appreciation. They’re very sweet. Take them home and try them.”

“Alright, I’m headed home now; I’ve got guests waiting. Call me if you need anything.”

Long Chen didn’t refuse, carrying the groceries and leaving with the fruit.
