"Mom, I'm back!" Seeing the words "Neighbor's Restaurant" from afar, Tan Xiu's face showed a sincere smile, and he couldn't help but shout.
Soon, the smile on Tan Xiu's face froze.
Because after Tang Xiu shouted, his mother didn't rush out of the restaurant to greet him like before. On the contrary, the neighbors in the surrounding area sighed one after another when they heard his shout, and some of them had sympathetic expressions.
"Did something happen to the restaurant?" Clearly seeing the reaction of the neighbors, Tan Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ran into the restaurant.
When Tan Xiu entered the restaurant, he saw that the entire restaurant was in a mess. Dishes, soup, and broken dishes filled the entire hall. The dining table and chairs were all kicked to the ground, and the walls and floor were scratched beyond recognition.
From the direction of the kitchen came the sound of smashing, and there was a faint sound of begging and crying.
Hearing the sound from the kitchen, Tan Xiu's blood instantly rushed to his head, and his eyes burst with sparks of anger.
"Brother Hei, please don't smash anymore. These things in the kitchen are all of our restaurant's belongings. If you smash these things, our restaurant can no longer operate." When Tan Xiu entered the kitchen, he saw his mother holding the arm of a middle-aged man and begging with tears on her face.
"Now you know to ask me to be lenient? What were you doing earlier? I asked you to hand over five thousand yuan as protection fee by the middle of this month. It's already the end of the month, and the money is still missing. Do you take our words for granted? Smash, you must smash hard for me. If you don't teach her an unforgettable lesson, she will never take our words to heart! " The middle-aged man raised his arm and pushed Su Lingyun to the ground, and then kicked the steamer in front of him.
With a loud bang, the huge steamer overturned on the ground. At the same time, the steaming hot water poured out and flowed all over the ground.
"Mom, be careful!" Seeing that the boiling water in the steamer was about to pour on his mother, Tan Xiu rushed into the kitchen and helped his mother up.
"Xiu, you're back … You haven't eaten yet, right? Mom will make delicious food for you immediately! "After being helped up by Tan Xiu, Su Lingyun was in a trance, and then said in a panic.
After Su Lingyun finished speaking, she remembered the current situation of the restaurant, and couldn't help but stand awkwardly in place, feeling a little helpless.
The tableware in the kitchen was destroyed by the seven gangsters led by Zeta Persei. Su Lingyun couldn't even make the simplest egg fried rice for Tan Xiu, let alone as luxuriously as before to satisfy Tan Xiu 'gluttonous desire.
Clearly seeing his mother's desperate and helpless look in his eyes, Tan Xiu couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.
In Tan Xiu's heart, Su Lingyun not only did her job as a mother, but also played the role of a father perfectly, taking care of him in every possible way.
For more than a decade, his mother had been working hard without complaint, holding up the entire sky for him, allowing him to grow up healthily and carefreely. It was to the point that he had almost forgotten that his mother was a woman, a helpless and lonely woman.
There was a lot of trouble in front of a widow's door. Thinking of the supercilious looks, sarcasm, and rumors that his mother had suffered over the years, Tan Xiu felt a burst of heartache.
"Mom, it's still early, I'm not hungry, let's go home and eat later." Tan Xiu tightly hugged his mother's thin body, and said with a pair of red eyes.
"Go home, you still want to go home? If you don't take out the five thousand yuan today, don't even think about going home! "The dark-skinned middle-aged man snorted coldly, interrupting the conversation between Tan Xiu and his mother.
Hearing the words of the dark-skinned middle-aged man, Su Lingyun trembled in fear. She hurriedly hugged Tan Xiu in her arms, and said with a trembling voice, "Brother Hei, this matter has nothing to do with my son, please let him go. Please give me one day, by this time tomorrow, I will definitely hand over the five thousand yuan with both hands! "
"Today only five thousand yuan can solve the problem, tomorrow it won't be this amount." Zeta Persei squinted at Su Lingyun, and said in a strange tone.
"Brother Hei, I remember that our store used to only need two thousand yuan a month as protection fee. Why did it soar to five thousand this month?" Tan Xiu unobtrusively shielded his mother behind him and said coldly.
Zeta Persei obviously didn't expect Tan Xiu to suddenly stand up and speak, and even dare to question the standard of his fee. Thinking of Tan Xiu's silly look in the past, he was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything, but looked at Tan Xiu with suspicion.
"F * ck your mother, do we need you to tell us what to do?" Seeing that Zeta Persei seemed to be stabilized by Tan Xiu, a green-haired punk behind Zeta Persei roared, raised his palm, and was about to slap Tan Xiu.
Just after the green-haired punk's hand was more than ten centimeters away from Tan Xiu's face, a piece of broken glass suddenly flew from the ground and fiercely pierced the green-haired punk's wrist, and the green-haired punk suddenly bled.
The poor green-haired punk just wanted to show off his power, and didn't think that he would encounter such an encounter. Caught off guard, his wrist was pierced, and he screamed in pain, no longer caring about dealing with Tan Xiu.
The green-haired punk didn't care about dealing with Tan Xiu, but it didn't mean that Tan Xiu let go of the green-haired punk.
No matter how the students of Class 10 insulted him, Tan Xiu didn't say a word. It's not that Tan Xiu has a good temper, nor is it because Tan Xiu is a coward, but because in the eyes of Tan Xiu, the students of Class 10 are just a group of children. They only flaunted their sharp tongues at him, and didn't really touch Tan Xiu's reverse scale.
But this group of thugs in front of him was different. Not only did they destroy his mother's painstaking efforts, but they also forced his mother into a desperate situation. Whether it was physically or psychologically, they had caused harm to his mother. This made Tang Xiu extremely angry.
The most important thing is that his mother is the only reverse scale in Tan Xiu's heart.
So the moment this group of punks smashed the restaurant, Tan Xiu has already sentenced them to death, not to mention that they also pushed his mother to the ground.
The other punks haven't reacted to what's going on, but Tan Xiu has already taken a step forward and stood beside the green-haired punk. He kicked the green-haired punk's knee, directly kicking the green-haired punk to the ground, and then stepped on the other's face, making the other completely unable to speak.
Tang Xiu's movements were exceptionally fast, causing the green-haired bully to whimper and struggle on the ground for a long time. Only then did the other bullies react to what had happened.
"Little bastard, you dare to touch us, don't you want to live?"
"Bastard, quickly let go of my brother, or I will break your dog legs!"
…
Realizing that their own people were beaten by Tan Xiu, the group of punks was furious. They almost rushed to Tan Xiu together. Only Zeta Persei stood in place and didn't move, but his eyes were shining as he curiously looked at Tan Xiu.
Zeta Persei has been in the old River Street area for more than 20 years. He knows everything about the old River Street area like the back of his hand. Although the restaurant has only been open for less than half a year, Zeta Persei has thoroughly figured out the details of the restaurant.
As far as Zeta Persei knows, the owner of the restaurant, Su Lingyun, came from the countryside, and she also has a half-grown son. Before opening the restaurant, she worked a lot of jobs. Moving bricks, carrying cement bags, picking up garbage, being a supermarket salesperson, delivering fast food. As long as she can make money, this woman will rush to do any dirty and tiring work. She is a typical outsider.
A month ago, a man with sunglasses suddenly came to Zeta Persei and offered 100,000 yuan to deal with Su Lingyun and Tan Xiu.
Although Zeta Persei sympathizes with Su Lingyun's experience, he is not related to Su Lingyun after all. If he had to choose between Su Lingyun and 100,000 yuan, Zeta Persei would choose the latter without hesitation.
"Isn't Su Lingyun's son, Tan Xiu, an idiot? According to my previous observation, there is indeed something wrong with Tan Xiu's brain. Why is he speaking so reasonably today, and he is so ruthless? He doesn't seem like an idiot at all. "
In the commission of the man with sunglasses, harassing the restaurant was just bait. Bullying Su Lingyun was also a trap. The purpose was to lure Tan Xiu out. What they really needed to deal with was Tan Xiu. This made Zeta Persei have to pay attention to see if there was anything wrong with Tan Xiu.
"An idiot is an idiot after all. We have seven adults on our side. He, a weak teenager, dares to take the initiative to attack us. He is completely ignorant. Isn't he looking for trouble?" Soon, Zeta Persei shook his head and cast his eyes on Su Lingyun.
In the past, Zeta Persei had never seriously looked at Su Lingyun. He only felt that Su Lingyun's life was pitiful and her character was respectable. Today, after carefully looking at Su Lingyun, he found that Su Lingyun was a rare beauty. She was more beautiful than most of the women he had seen. This made him have a crooked idea for a while.
"If Su Lingyun is willing to live with me, I really can't bear to do anything to her. Unfortunately, Su Lingyun is too stubborn. She doesn't buy into me at all." Thinking of Su Lingyun's desperate resistance for the past month, Zeta Persei shook his head and felt impatient.
While Zeta Persei stood on one side and let his imagination run wild, the battle on the other side was in full swing.
When the other five gangsters roared and rushed toward Tan Xiu, Tan Xiu did not show any fear. Instead, his face was full of excitement.
Tan Xiu hooked his foot and the green-haired gangster's body flew up and directly hit the three gangsters in front of him. Then, Tan Xiu's other foot swept out and knocked down the gangster who tried to sneak up on him from the left. The gangster happened to be lying in the boiling water, screaming in pain.
Seeing that the last person's fist was about to hit Tan Xiu's forehead, Tan Xiu sneered. He suddenly stretched out two fingers and poked the other person's wrist, then stopped the other person's fist in mid-air.
After casually restraining the five gangsters, Tang Xiu looked at the tanned middle-aged man and said with a frosty face, "Zeta Persei, almost everything in our restaurant has been destroyed by you. Let's discuss compensation now!"
