Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Xu Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Dabao, let me treat you guys to a drink!"

Dabao hesitated and said, "This is not good! I promised Aunt Xiao'e to take good care of you, and now I'm asking you to treat me."

"Brother Dabao, didn't you say we are brothers? Then you don't have to be polite."

Xu Xiao smiled.

"Row."

Hearing this, Dabao no longer hesitated and took a dollar from Xu Xiao's hand, "One dollar is enough."

After getting the money, he took a few kids to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soda.

Afterwards, several people drank soda on the side of the road.

“Soda is delicious.”

Tuanzi narrowed his eyes and took out a handful of candies from his pocket. "Brother and sister, I have a lot of candies here. My father said we should learn to share. These are for you."

"Thank you Tuanzi."

"Thank you sister."

The younger ones didn't hesitate to take the candies and started eating them.

Sit for a while.

Dabao said, "It's getting late. The elders will get worried. Let's go back!"

Xiaodou said disappointedly, "Ah? Boss, let's go back now! I want to go ice skating in Houhai! How about you, Tiedan?"

"I listen to the boss."

Tiedan smiled innocently.

"Tiedan, you are so boring." Xiaodou said depressedly: "My dad always says that you are the same as your dad. When your dad was a child, he listened to Uncle Liangzi, and now you listen to the eldest brother."

Dabao said faintly: "Oh? Xiaodou, don't you want to listen to me?"

Xiaodou shuddered and said hurriedly, "No way, I will listen to the boss too."

"That's pretty much it."

Dabao explained: "We can't help it. We are taking Tuanzi and Xiaoyu with us now. We will go there next time. Xu Xiao, you can come too."

After hearing what Dabao said, Xiaodou finally gave up.

So Dabao took them on the way home.

After waiting for a while, they were stopped by some young men about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Judging from their appearance, they are all hooligans.

Dabao frowned, protecting his younger brothers and sisters behind him, and asked vigilantly: "Brothers, what's going on?"

Tuanzi grabbed Xiaoyu's hand with some fear.

Xiaoyu is already ten years old. She has also practiced some tricks with Cao Liang. Seeing this, she comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Tuanzi. Sister will protect you."

Xiaodou and Tiedan stood next to Dabao.

Xu Xiao had never seen such a scene before and was a little scared, but he still stood beside Dabao.

The leading thug laughed and said, "It's nothing. We are just short of money recently and wanted to borrow some money from you guys."

Dabao said decisively: "We don't have any money."

"Who are you trying to fool?"

A thug said disdainfully: "We saw you guys coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative just now, and that well-dressed guy over there, he has quite a bit of money."

Xu Xiao's face turned pale. He didn't expect that it was because of him.

The book says that if one does not show off his wealth, it is his fault.

He pulled Dabao's clothes and whispered, "Brother Dabao, how about it?"

"Don't talk."

Dabao interrupted Xu Xiao directly, he knew what Xu Xiao meant.

But he obviously thought too simply, thinking that just giving the money would solve the problem?

That is impossible.

If it were just the older ones like them, Dabao would definitely run away without saying a word.

But now I have two little ones with me, so it’s hard to run away.

Dabao made a decision quickly. He said to Xu Xiao, "Xu Xiao, you take your two sisters and brother back first. Xiaodou Tiedan and I will stop them."

"This...Brother Dabao, I want to stay too."

"Shut up and listen to me."

Dabao said in a deep voice: "Xiaodou and I have practiced with my dad. You are so delicate and tender that you can't help even if you stay."

"Listen to me, I'm the boss."

Xu Xiao opened his mouth but was unable to refute, so he turned around and ran away with Tuanzi and Xiaodong.

Xiaoyu refused, "Brother, I also learned from uncle, so I will stay too."

"Get lost, I don't need a little girl like you to help me, get lost now."

Xiaoyu felt so aggrieved that she turned around and ran away.

"Want to run? Brothers, stop them. The money is with the well-dressed guy."

"Got it, boss."

A few thugs wanted to bypass Dabao and the other three and chase Xu Xiao and the others.

But Dabao would never let them succeed and took the initiative to attack.

...

Xu Xiao and his friends finally returned to the courtyard and immediately told the adults what had happened.

When Meng Xiaoxing and the others heard this, they became extremely anxious.

She asked Qin Jingru to inform Cao Liang and the others, and she and Chen Huilan rushed over first.

Cao Liang was the fastest and found the person first.

But when he arrived, he only saw Dabao and the other three.

Three people were sitting against the wall, each of them had injuries on their bodies.

Seeing Cao Liang coming, Dabao grinned and said, "Dad, I didn't let my brothers and sisters get hurt."

"Uncle Liangzi."

Xiaodou and Tiedan also shouted.

Cao Liang checked the three people and found that they all had superficial injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Cao Liang asked Dabao what had happened. Dabao did not hide anything and told him what had happened.

Afterwards, Dabao said with guilt: "Dad, it's my fault that I failed to protect them."

Cao Liang patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. You have done a great job."

Later, Gangzi and others also arrived.

Chen Huilan asked worriedly, "Hey, Liangzi, are the children okay?"

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

Cao Liang shook his head and said to Meng Xiaoxing, "Xingzi, take the children back to apply medicine first."

Meng Xiaoxing nodded and took Dabao and the others back.

After they left, Wang Dong angrily said, "Liangzi, who on earth dares to bully my nephew and niece? I think they want to die."

"They were just a few hooligans who just wanted to rob money."

Cao Liang said to Monkey, "Monkey, find the people first and meet them later."

"Okay boss."

The monkey agreed and went to work.

Cao Liang said to Gangzi and the others, "Let's go! We'll go back and wait first."

Although they were very angry, they had no choice but to go back first.

More than an hour later.

The monkey is back.

"Boss, we found the person."

Cao Liang nodded.

Looking at Dabao, Xiaodou and Tiedan, "Do you want to go together?"

"Dad, I want to go."

Dabao gritted his teeth and said, "I want to take revenge myself."

"Uncle Liangzi, we want to go too."

Xiaodou and Tiedan also echoed.

Cao Liang nodded and was about to leave with his men.

Xu Xiao suddenly said, "Uncle Liangzi, I want to go too, is that ok?"

"son?"

Lou Xiao'e was shocked. Her son had never encountered such a thing since he was a child, and she was a little worried.

Xu Damao said, "Go! He was the cause of this incident, so he should go."

After he finished speaking, he also stood up, and his meaning was obvious: he wanted to go too.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e was speechless.

After all, what Xu Damao said was right, and if he didn't do this, Dabao and the others would not take Xu Xiao out to play in the future.

Cao Liang and his group left.

Meng Xiaoxing held Lou Xiaoe's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, these are just small matters, just leave them to those men."

Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to nod.
