Chapter 170: Robbery of a woman and extermination of her entire family
"This, this, this!" Li Erlang was stunned. "I didn't expect that there was such a complicated family story behind Zhao Ji Noodle House."
"Don't comment without seeing the whole picture" is one of the principles that Li Yuer believes in, especially in such complex ethical matters of love, hate, and vengeance, where truth and falsehood are mixed. As an outsider, it is better not to take sides easily.
In previous lives, many poor people were led by unscrupulous media and eventually committed suicide due to cyberbullying.
Li Yuer said nonchalantly: "No matter who is the successor of Zhao Ji Noodle House, we just need to eat noodles."
As she said that, she walked towards Lao Zhao's Noodle House.
The waiter was so angry that his mouth was crooked. He had spent so much time talking, but the other party didn't buy it at all.
"You guys are too confused about right and wrong. You know that the neighbor is not legitimate, but you still go to his house to eat noodles."
Li Laosan said angrily, "What does it have to do with you where we go to eat noodles?"
"You, you, you! You don't know what's good for you!" The waiter angrily threw the rag and walked away.
Li Yuer had no intention of arguing with him any further and walked into Lao Zhao's Noodle House.
When the door curtain was lifted, Zhao Yanyan was seen standing there. Zhao Yanyan wiped her eyes, smiled to hide her feelings, and said, "What would you like to eat?"
Li Erlang strode towards his usual seat, "Same as always, one bowl of big meat noodles per person, two pounds of pork belly, and four side dishes of your choice."
"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment."
Zhao Yanyan went into the kitchen to read the menu. Zhao Changgeng saw her eyes were red, and he sighed and said, "Yanyan, don't be sad. Your uncle is just having a hard time. At worst, we can just stop running the noodle shop. Dad has saved some money over the years. When you get married, Dad will be waiting to coax your grandchildren."
There had been no guests for a long time and the stove had gone out. Zhao Yanyan sat on a bench and started to make a fire and boil water.
"Dad, why didn't Grandpa pass the noodle shop to Uncle?"
She felt very upset, firstly because of what her uncle had done, and also because was her grandfather really partial to her father?
"Hey!" Zhao Changgeng said as he kneaded the dough skillfully, "Your grandfather is not a partial person, otherwise how could your uncle have the opportunity to study? Your father and I didn't have the opportunity. It's just that your uncle didn't like to study, and he let your grandfather down."
Zhao Yanyan pouted and said unhappily, "Why didn't Grandpa let Dad go to school and let Uncle make noodles? Wouldn't it be better for everyone this way?"
Zhao Changgeng didn't understand it either. "Then I don't know. Maybe your grandfather thinks your uncle has more talent for studying, and I have more talent for making noodles."
Soon, the noodles were ready and served on the table.
On a cold day, hot noodle soup is the most comfortable thing to eat.
"Bang!"
Just as everyone was getting ready to move, the door was kicked open with great force.
"Where are all the people? I didn't see any guests come in."
Several burly men walked in. Li Yuer and the others were shocked immediately because it was Ma Wu and his gang again.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other. Li Laosan and his companions looked at Ma Wu and others with unfriendly expressions. Could it be that they were deliberately causing trouble for them?
The clay man still has some character. Time and time again, the worst that can happen is that he will fight with them. Li Laosan's fists under the table were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.
Li Yuer was also a little unhappy. She didn't cause trouble but she was not afraid of it either. She even dared to look for trouble. She absolutely could not let them off easily this time, otherwise who would she think was easy to bully?
But unexpectedly, Ma Wu just glanced at them and then looked away.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The big man slammed the table loudly. "Are you deaf? Or dead?"
Zhao Yanyan wanted to go out, but Zhao Changgeng pushed her back, "You stay here to light the fire, I'll go out and take a look. Remember, don't go out."
Zhao Changgeng walked over with a smile, "I'm sorry, there are not many people in the store today, and I hope we can forgive you for not hosting you well. What would you like to eat?"
The leading man put his feet on the chair, crossed his legs and said, "Why should I tolerate you? Do you deserve it? Ask your daughter to come out and entertain us! I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you so much!"
"Uncle Leopard is right! Call that little hot pepper out. Our Uncle Leopard likes spicy food, it will be more fun to clean up!" said Ma Wu's lackey.
Zhao Changgeng's expression changed immediately and he said, "I'm sorry, but our small shop can't handle your business. Please leave and eat across the street."
"Bang!" Uncle Bao kicked the chair, and Zhao Changgeng's leg was hit by the chair, and he fell to the ground with a "thump!"
Li Laosan was about to help, but was stopped by Li Erlang.
"Uncle San, calm down."
Zhao Changgeng struggled to get up and said coldly, "Please leave, or I will report you to the police!"
"Report to the authorities? Hahahaha!" Lord Bao and his men laughed wildly, "Go ahead and report to the authorities! Do you think I'm afraid of you? I'm telling you, Zhao Changgeng, don't refuse my toast. I'm going to talk to you nicely now. If you report to the authorities and are taken to the government, I guarantee that you will be sent to the mines as a laborer, and your daughter will be raped and sold into a prostitution trap."
"Pa pa pa!" Leopard slapped Zhao Changgeng's face without any hesitation. "I'll count to three, and you make your choice. Either you hand over your daughter to us and we'll take her away. We'll send her back to you after we're done. Or I'll take her away anyway, and you'll go to the mines, and your daughter will become a whore. I'll beat that old man in the backyard to death and feed him to the dogs!"
"Bah! You're dreaming! Even if I fight you, I won't let you take my daughter away!"
"what!"
Leopard kicked Zhao Changgeng in the heart, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't even stand up.
"This is too much!" Li Laosan's face turned red with anger.
Li Erlang was afraid that he would rush forward and give himself up, so he looked at Li Yuer for help: "Yu Baoer, let's go."
Li Yuer lowered his head and said nothing.
At this time, Zhao Yanyan rushed out, holding a rolling pin in her hand, and smashed it towards Leopard Master.
"You beasts, let my father go!"
Before she could get close, a big man easily grabbed the rolling pin that was falling down.
"Little Pepper, you finally showed up! What a pity, your father didn't accept your toast and you have to drink the wine for punishment, and you will suffer the consequences."
As he said that, the big man waved his hand and pushed Zhao Yanyan into Bao Ye's arms.
Mr. Leopard held her waist and sniffed at her ear, "Hmm, it still smells like a baby bird."
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Zhao Yanyan cried out of fear, but she could not escape the shackles of Mr. Bao.
Zhao Changgeng crawled towards Leopard Master and said, "Please, let my daughter go. I am willing to lose everything I have, just to let my daughter go."
"Hahaha! Lose everything?" Lord Bao looked down at Zhao Changgeng who was struggling on the ground and said unscrupulously: "Even if I take away your daughter and send you to the mine, won't your house still belong to us? Do we need your consent?"
"Why! Why! Oh my God! Open your eyes and take a look at what kind of life the people of Xinpu Town are living now! The officials and bandits are colluding and killing innocent people. There is simply no way to survive!"
Leopard Master stepped on Zhao Changgeng's head and said, "The strong prey on the weak, that's the way of heaven. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being incompetent!"
