"Mom, I'm back!" Seeing the words "Next Door Restaurant" from a distance, a heartfelt smile appeared on Tang Xiu's face, and he couldn't help but exhale loudly.
Soon, the smile on Tang Xiu's face froze.
Because after Tang Xiu shouted, his mother did not walk out of the hotel to greet him as quickly as before. Instead, the neighbors around him sighed or expressed sympathy after hearing his shout.
"Did something happen in the hotel?" Clearly seeing the reactions of the neighbors, Tang Xiu's heart "thumped" and he quickly ran into the hotel.
When Tang Xiu entered the hotel, he saw that the entire hotel was in a mess. Food, soup, and broken dishes filled the entire hall. The dining tables and chairs were all kicked to the ground, and the walls and floors were scratched beyond recognition.
There was a banging sound coming from the direction of the kitchen, mixed with faint sounds of begging and crying.
Hearing the voice coming from the kitchen, Tang Xiu's blood instantly surged, and sparks of anger burst out of his eyes.
"Brother Hei, please stop smashing it. These things in the kitchen are all the property of our hotel. If you smash these things, our restaurant will no longer be able to operate." When Tang Xiu entered the kitchen, he saw The mother was holding a middle-aged man's arm and begging, her face full of tears.
"Now you know how to beg me for mercy? What have you done? I asked you to hand over five thousand yuan in protection fees before the middle of this month. The money is still missing at the end of the month. You are turning a deaf ear to our words. Damn it, you must pay it. I hit her hard. If I don't give her a lesson she will never forget, she will never take our words to heart!" The middle-aged man raised his arm, pushed Su Lingyun to the ground, and then kicked her in front of him. steamer.
There was only a loud "clang" sound, and the huge steamer fell to the ground. At the same time, steaming boiling water poured out and flowed all over the floor.
"Mom, be careful!" Seeing that the boiling water in the steamer was about to pour on his mother, Tang Xiu rushed into the kitchen with a sword step and helped his mother up.
"Xiu'er, you're back... You haven't eaten yet, right? Mom will prepare something delicious for you immediately!" After being helped up by Tang Xiu, Su Lingyun was in a trance, and then said in panic.
After Su Lingyun finished speaking, she remembered the current situation in the hotel and couldn't help but stand there awkwardly, feeling a little at a loss.
The tableware in the kitchen was completely destroyed by seven gangsters led by Hei San. Even if Su Lingyun wanted to make the simplest egg fried rice for Tang Xiu, she couldn't do it, let alone satisfy Tang Xiu with the utmost luxury as before. The gluttonous desire.
Seeing his mother's helpless look clearly in his eyes, Tang Xiu couldn't help but feel sad.
In Tang Xiu's heart, Su Lingyun not only did her job well as a mother, but also played the role of a father perfectly, taking good care of herself.
For more than ten years, my mother has been working hard and supporting herself, so that she can grow up healthily without worries, so much so that she almost ignores that her mother is a woman, and she is a helpless and lonely person. woman.
There were many disputes in front of the widow's house. Thinking of the looks, cynicism, and rumors his mother had faced over the years, Tang Xiu felt heartbroken.
"Mom, it's still early and I'm not hungry. We'll go home for dinner later." Tang Xiu hugged his mother's thin body tightly and said with red eyes.
"Go home, you still want to go home? If we don't come up with five thousand yuan today, you mother and son will never even think about going home!" The leader, a black middle-aged man, snorted coldly, interrupting the conversation between Tang Xiu and his son. .
Hearing the words of the middle-aged Hei Zhuang, Su Lingyun was trembling with fear. She hurriedly hugged Tang Xiu in her arms and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Hei, this matter has nothing to do with my son. Please let him go. Please Give me a day, and at this time tomorrow, I will definitely give you five thousand yuan with both hands!"
"Today we only need five thousand yuan to solve the problem, but tomorrow it won't be that much." Hei San glanced sideways at Su Lingyun and said in a sinister tone.
"Brother Hei, I remember that our store used to only need two thousand yuan in protection fees every month. Why did it skyrocket to five thousand yuan this month?" Tang Xiu blocked his mother behind him without leaving a trace, and said coldly. .
Hei San obviously did not expect that Tang Xiu would suddenly stand up and speak, and he would dare to question his charging standards. Thinking of Tang Xiu's foolish behavior in the past, he was stunned for a moment and did not say anything, but looked at Tang Xiu in confusion.
"I'm fucking your mother, do we need your advice on how to do things?" Seeing that Hei San seemed to be stabilized by Tang Xiu, a green-haired gangster behind Hei San roared angrily, raised his palm, and was about to slap Tang Xiu. slap.
Just when the green-haired gangster's hand was still more than ten centimeters away from Tang Xiu's face, a piece of broken glass suddenly flew up from the ground and plunged into the green-haired gangster's wrist, causing the green-haired gangster to bleed profusely.
The poor green-haired gangster just wanted to show off his power and didn't expect that he would encounter this. He was caught off guard and his wrist was pricked. He screamed in pain and couldn't care less about Tang Xiu.
Just because the green-haired gangster didn't bother to deal with Tang Xiu, it doesn't mean that Tang Xiu let the green-haired gangster go.
No matter how much the classmates in Class 10 insulted him, Tang Xiu didn't say a word. It wasn't because Tang Xiu had a good temper, or because Tang Xiu was a coward, but because in Tang Xiu's eyes, those classmates in Class 10 were just a group of children, and they were just trying to treat him. It was just a matter of words, and it did not really offend Tang Xiu.
But this group of gangsters in front of him was different. Not only did they destroy his mother's hard work, but they also pushed her into a desperate situation, causing harm to her both physically and psychologically. This made Tang Xiu furious. .
The most important thing is that his mother is the only one in Tang Xiu's heart.
So from the moment these gangsters smashed up the restaurant, Tang Xiu had already sentenced them to death, not to mention that they pushed his mother to the ground.
Before the other gangsters could realize what was going on, Tang Xiu had already taken a step forward and stood beside the green-haired gangster. He kicked the green-haired gangster on his knees, knocking the green-haired gangster to the ground. He stepped on the other person's face, leaving him completely speechless.
Tang Xiu's movements were so fast that the green-haired gangster lay on the ground and struggled for a long time before the other gangsters realized what had happened.
"You little bastard, you dare to touch us, don't you want to live anymore?"
"You bastard, let go of my brother quickly, or I will destroy your legs!"
…
Realizing that one of their own had been beaten by Tang Xiu, a group of gangsters were furious. They almost all rushed towards Tang Xiu. Only Hei San stood there without moving, but looked at Tang Xiu curiously with his eyes wide open.
Hei San has been living in the old area of Hejie for more than 20 years and knows everything about the old area of Hejie. Although the restaurant next door has only been open for less than half a year, Hei San has a thorough understanding of the ins and outs of the restaurant next door.
As far as Hei San knew, Su Lingyun from the restaurant next door came from the countryside and had a half-year-old son. She worked many jobs before opening a restaurant. Moving bricks, carrying cement bags, picking up garbage, working as a supermarket salesperson, delivering fast food, as long as it can make money, this woman will do any dirty work. She is a typical migrant.
A month ago, a man from Sunglasses suddenly came to Heisan and offered us 100,000 yuan to deal with Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu's mother and son.
Although Hei San sympathized with Su Lingyun's experience, he was not related to Su Lingyun after all. When asked to make a choice between Su Lingyun and 100,000 yuan, Hei San chose the latter without hesitation.
"Isn't Su Lingyun's son Tang Xiu a fool? According to my past observations, there is indeed something wrong with Tang Xiu's brain. Why is it that today he speaks with reason and is ruthless, and he doesn't look like a fool at all?"
In Sunglasses' commission, harassing the restaurant next door was just a bait, and bullying Su Lingyun was also a trap. The purpose was to lure Tang Xiu out. What they really needed to deal with was Tang Xiu. This made Hei San have to cheer up and check on Tang Xiu. What's different about repairing.
"A fool is a fool after all. We have seven adults here, and he, a weak young man, dares to take the initiative to attack us. He is completely ignorant of current affairs. Isn't this looking for abuse?" Soon, Hei San shook his head and said His eyes fell on Su Lingyun.
Hei San had never looked at Su Lingyun seriously before. He just thought that Su Lingyun was pitiful and respectable. After carefully looking at Su Lingyun today, he realized that Su Lingyun was a rare beauty, better than most women he had seen. Beautiful, this made him think twice.
"If Su Lingyun is willing to live with me, I really can't bear to attack her. It's a pity that Su Lingyun is too stubborn and doesn't pay for herself at all." Thinking of Su Lingyun's desperate resistance over the past month, Hei San shook his head, thinking in his heart A moment of impatience.
Heisan stood on one side and thought about it, while the battle on the other side was in full swing.
When the other five gangsters roared and rushed towards Tang Xiu, Tang Xiu not only did not show any fear, but his face was filled with excitement.
With the sole of Tang Xiu's foot hooked, the green-haired gangster flew up and directly hit the three gangsters rushing towards him in front of him. Then Tang Xiu swept out with his other foot, killing the person on the left who was trying to sneak attack. He fell to the ground, and the other person happened to be lying in the boiling water, screaming in pain.
Seeing that the last person's fist was about to hit Tang Xiu's forehead, Tang Xiu sneered. He suddenly stretched out two fingers, poked the opponent's wrist, and then put the opponent's fist in the air.
After casually restraining the five gangsters, Tang Xiu turned his attention to the middle-aged Hei Zhuang and said with a frosty face: "Hei San, you have almost destroyed everything in our hotel. Let's discuss compensation now." The problem!"
