Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

Chapter 48 Protection Fee

"That's different. If you come one or two, we won't bother you. It's not easy for everyone to make a living, right? But there are too many of you coming at once. If you do this, we won't be able to do business. Ask your hunters if they have sold any of the furs they brought."

Fu Cang looked back and saw that the hunters were all shaking their heads dejectedly.

"Look, I was right. Selling like this won't work. Not only will you lose business, but our business will also be affected. Naturally, I have to come and ask you for some compensation. As a result, you started fighting over a disagreement, so you are not responsible for this matter.

But we are not petty people. Please leave here immediately. We will not interfere with each other from now on. If you really want to do business here, then we have to discuss it. If you pay a stall fee of 100 coins, I can let two of you set up stalls to sell furs. No more than that."

Fu Cang's face turned completely cold: "After all, you are all here for money! Our homes were destroyed, and we got some fur along the way. We just wanted to sell them at the market to get some silver so that we can buy some winter clothes. I didn't expect to be exploited by you. This is simply unreasonable!"

The man with big earrings looked at Fu Cang and was about to get angry, so he said hurriedly, "Hey, calm down. I know it's not easy for you. I can tell by the way you dress. Look at what month it is now, and you are still wearing straw sandals!

But we have to deal with things one by one. I can't break the rules of our market just because I sympathize with you. These rules are not set by me alone. We have a boss. If I can't handle your matter well, my boss will also teach me a lesson. You see, it's not easy for me, so you can be more considerate of me. In this way, you can give me 100 coins and everyone can set up a stall here. Do you think this is okay?"

Hearing the man with big earrings say that this was the rule of the market, Fu Cang's expression relaxed a little. Just as he was about to turn around and ask other hunters for their opinions, Mo Xiaonian's voice came from behind.

"There is no such rule in this market. This group of people are all local thugs. They saw that we are refugees from other places and they want to make some money from us!"

As soon as Mo Xiaonian said this, everyone's face changed.

The man with big earrings looked at Mo Xiaonian viciously, but was stunned when he saw her face.

This little girl is so fair and pretty!

In just a flash of thought, Fu Cang punched him in the face again.

"If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyeballs out! Since you're a hooligan, there's nothing to say. I'll count to three and tell you to get out of here. If you don't, I'll beat the shit out of you with my next punch!"

When Big Earrings saw that their identities had been discovered, she realized that she couldn't defeat these people and could only leave in shame.

Fu Cang looked around and found that some of the hunters had minor skin injuries but no severe bone injuries. He felt relieved and walked to Mo Xiaonian's side.

"Didn't I tell you not to come over? We can't take care of you when we're fighting. What if you get hurt?"

Mo Xiaonian originally wanted to say something to Fu Cang, but seeing so many hunters around, all pricked up their ears to listen, Mo Xiaonian felt that he should still save face for Fu Cang, so he smiled and nodded to Fu Cang: "I understand, Brother Fu Cang, I will definitely pay attention to my own safety in the future."

Fu Cang's brows were tightly knitted together.

"Why did you become Brother Fucang again? You clearly called me husband when we were at the car dealership just now!"

Mo Xiaonian felt a little embarrassed.

At that time she didn't know what was going on, and the word "husband" came out of her mouth, which was completely incomprehensible.

Mo Xiaonian sometimes felt that there was another soul inside her body. This thought made her feel creepy. She was afraid that the soul would take control of her body and do something strange. She really wouldn't be able to explain it.

But now is not the time to deny it to Fu Cang. According to her observation, when she said the word "husband", Fu Cang's expression was shocked and satisfied. If she denied it now, not only would she be suspected of being unreasonable, but most importantly, it might also anger Fu Cang.

So Mo Xiaonian showed a shy expression and looked at Fu Cang with dissatisfaction: "Don't say anything!"

The hunter standing behind burst into laughter.

"Fu Cang, you really don't understand women, do you? She's just shy!"

"Yeah, I can tell from the fact that you've never been in contact with a woman before! But luckily you arrived in time, otherwise, we would have suffered a loss today."

Talking about what happened just now, Fu Cang's face became solemn. He turned to Mo Xiaonian and asked, "You said that group of people just now were hooligans? How did you know about this?"

"While you were busy fighting, I went to the surrounding shops and asked many passers-by who were watching the fun. They all knew this group of people. They have been hanging around in this market for years. They don't target local people doing business here, but bully outsiders. As long as there are outsiders doing business in the market, they will come to collect protection fees. Those outsiders can't beat them, so they can only pay them obediently. I heard that some outsiders can't sell their goods in the market for a whole day and can't even make up the money they pay."

"How abominable!"

Fu Cang looked up at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon. He simply said to the hunters, "I think we should leave it at that for today. Let's go back first and come back tomorrow."

The hunters all nodded, picked up the skins on the ground, dusted them off, carried them on their backs, and followed Fu Cang away.

When the hunters saw the cart that Fu Cang bought, they were stunned.

"Oh my God, Fu Cang, you even bought a car?"

"Fu Cang, you are too amazing, aren't you?"

"How much does this little car cost?"

Fu Cang smiled at them.

"Let's go home first. I guess everyone at home is waiting anxiously!"

As Fu Cang spoke, he easily carried Mo Xiaonian to the car, then pressed her with his hands to make sure she was seated securely. Then he pushed the car and headed towards where the tribe had set up camp.
