Chapter 37: Street Turmoil
In the afternoon, Ren Xiaotian accompanied the old spy to the snack street, saying that he was here to check the upcoming restaurant and choose the best boutiques to add to the hotel's menu.
When they were tasting, there were also a lot of ordinary people around, sitting there to enjoy snacks and talking at the same time. Because of the loud voice, from time to time there will be some chatter, which will reach their ears.
“…… Do you know the truth? The rooster at the police station didn't have the ability to catch thieves, and he let go of the thieves caught by others. A middle-aged man said in a press release.
"I'll tell you, those two criminals were caught by Ren Officer. The one surnamed Ji, I don't know if he was really confused, or if he received other people's benefits? Despite the opposition of so many people, he just let people go. "This man knows a little more about the situation than the person who just spoke.
"Cut, this kind of person can also be the director, and he has disgraced the face of the police. Tell me, if there really is something you can count on? "It's an old man throwing a tantrum.
Someone next to him persuaded: "Yes, that's the truth." It's just that we don't need to be idle, we don't have to be ordinary people, who will deal with the police if there is nothing to do. ”
…………
Hearing such a discussion, Xiang Ziliang's eyes swept over Ren Xiaotian's face, and found that this kid turned a deaf ear, as if he hadn't heard it, and was still ignoring it and gulping down the snacks on the table. Xiang Ziliang smiled secretly in his heart, this kid is material to be an agent. After doing something, he didn't show it at all.
Some people saw Ren Xiaotian also sitting here enjoying snacks, and of course they would ask him to verify the authenticity of the matter. Everyone thinks that his reply is the most official and true, because he has captured the two criminals.
"Director Ren, tell us all about it, what's going on?" The middle-aged man who spoke first asked.
"Yes, you know best. Tell us if Director Ji is an old fool and let go of the criminals you caught. The old man who lost his temper also inquired about the news with concern.
What disappointed everyone was that Ren Xiaotian had a different cheerful personality than usual, and he always just hummed and didn't say anything useful. It's just that the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, revealing a looming smile.
Such a reply, with or without, is equivalent to without. There are also reasonable people who nodded thoughtfully, realizing that this news belongs to the truth. For what? Because it's not easy for people to show their attitude. They are all people from the same unit, how can the subordinates expose the leader's shortcomings in public?
Xiang Ziliang, who was sitting on the side, never spoke, and only then did he show a smile towards Ren Xiaotian. Good boy, silence is better than sound here. On the surface, it seems that nothing has been said, but in fact the best explanation has been made.
Seaside City is not a big city, and the same gossip spreads in different places. It's unbelievably fast. It's no wonder that social journalism is inherently engaging. What's more, the story of this kind of police and bandit family is even more interesting.
Ren Xiaotian didn't know what had happened in the Lu Dao Institute, so he still stayed on the snack street and accompanied Xiang Ziliang to taste snacks for a while. Just as he was about to get up and go home, he suddenly heard a fierce quarrel in the direction of his cousin Ren Yulan's stall, and the noise became louder and louder. Many diners gathered around to watch the excitement.
As a package police officer on this section of the road, of course, he can't ignore such a thing. He immediately threw a dollar and put it on the table and shouted, "Boss, settle the bill." Without waiting to find money, he walked in the direction of the quarrel.
When I arrived at the destination, there were a lot of people who watched the excitement, and of course, there were also many people who helped fight grievances and speak fairly. They surrounded both sides of the dispute in a crowd.
Ren Xiaotian stood outside the pile and looked inside, and found that the party arguing was his cousin Ren Yulan. Because he was a relative, he was afraid that people would say that he was pulling the strings, so he did not directly stand up to mediate, but stood aside and listened to what happened. As soon as he heard this, his anger also rose.
This afternoon, Ren Yulan's business of selling tofu brains is particularly hot. Not only was she so busy that her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but even Ruan Xiaojuan, who was on summer vacation, couldn't care about doing homework at home, and ran out to help her mother.
When there are many customers, it is inevitable that you will have to wait for a while. People who abide by the rules and speak politely are just that, and the left and right are just a moment of effort, and no one will have disputes with others just to eat a bowl of tofu brain.
Who knows, there are people who gossip about a bowl of tofu brain.
Ten minutes ago, a mother and son in relatively bright clothes came. Although the woman's waist is a little in the direction of a bucket, she is still wearing a young girl's fashionable short skirt, which makes people feel a little nondescript after looking at it.
The boy who came with her was wearing a brand-name T-shirt that was rare in China at the time. It can be seen that the identity of this mother and son is extraordinary. Or rather, there is a little bit of origin in the family.
After standing for a while, the woman probably covered her nose with her hands for reasons of nobility, and complained about her son at the same time: "You are really, where is it not easy to go?" I want to go to this dirty and smelly place. What foods are not tasty? To come and eat this non-nutritious garbage. ”
The woman's mouth is more nagging, and she says it over and over again. That's it, but this person's son recognized Ruan Xiaojuan, who was helping, as his classmate.
"Ruan Xiaojuan, is that you? How can you help out here? At that time, the child didn't have much wit, and the boy took the initiative to say hello when he saw that it was a classmate.
"Hello, Chen Gang. Wait a minute, I'll be here. Xiaojuan, who was helping her mother wash the dishes, saw that it was a classmate in her class, and she responded. And put down the work in his hand and prepared to come to receive his classmates.
No one could have imagined that this was where the conflict began. There is nothing to do in the world, and after there are more long-tongued women, there will always be some troubles at the same time. At this time, this is the scene.
Just as the two classmates were greeting each other, the classmate's mother opened her mouth. The woman pointed to Xiao Juan, who was wearing a little shabby clothes and said, "Son, you have to study hard, otherwise you can only be a countryman, and you can only do this kind of unproductive work." ”
If this woman just talks about it, it can be regarded as not being heard. But she also pointed at Ruan Xiaojuan again, and made this contemptuous look.
As soon as she got it, Xiao Juan, who was full of enthusiasm and was about to run over to receive her classmates, stood there. Not only was he so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, but even his eyes were full of tears. Seeing Xiaojuan sad like this, how could Ren Yulan, who regarded her daughter as the meat of her heart, accept it.
She was originally a high-minded and arrogant woman, otherwise she would not have done anything to slap Ji Shengli's face. What's more, in the past few days, I have been very worried about the 'agricultural to non-farming' index, and I feel sorry for my daughter.
At that moment, Ren Yulan also shot back coldly: "What about the countrymen? We don't steal, we don't rob, and eating with our own hands is much better than relying on a vase raised by a man. If you don't think it's dirty, don't eat it. ”
As soon as Ren Yulan said this, it didn't matter, and immediately made the woman jump. On the contrary, on the contrary, a woman who does a small business dares to fight back against herself in public, which makes her feel dull and unbearable.
That woman originally relied on her father-in-law to be a big official, and her husband was a small official in the city, so she swaggered around the market. When Ren Yulan said this, it was tantamount to poking at her weakness.
Usually, when others look at the face of her family, no matter what happens, they have to give up a third or two points. At this time, when she heard Ren Yulan fight back like this, she immediately sprinkled and rushed up to hit Ren Yulan.
At this moment, she ran into her opponent, and she was beaten a few times. This is because Ren Yulan doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, otherwise, where can this woman be the opponent of Sister Ren, who does manual labor all year round, that woman suffers a loss, where is she willing to follow, she will scold the 'countryman' one by one.
Later, the more he scolded, the more outrageous it became, and all the people who did small businesses on this street were scolded. It is said that people who have no quality will do this kind of low-quality business. At this moment, of course, it also aroused public anger. There are so many people present, every word you say, I scold one word.
It was just a war of words, but someone spread the news and spread it to a room next to the side street. A few young people who were playing cards heard that someone was looking for trouble with Ren Yulan, and they immediately made an uproar.
"What? Someone is looking for trouble with Sister Ren, doesn't that give us face? ”
"Brother Xiang, we can't let Brother Tian lose face."
"Go, hit her mother."
…… A few people shouted like this, and those little gangsters who shouted Ren Xiaotian as 'Brother Tian' on the street rushed into the encirclement under the leadership of Qian Xiaoxiang.
On this occasion, no one can be more professional than these little gangsters. They didn't face the woman directly, but stood behind the crowd and did something dark.
For a while, he shouted, 'Whoever dares to bully the people on our snack street, we will beat him', and then he shouted and said, 'Beat, beat that stinky girl, let her understand the power of our people on the snack street'.
They elevated what was originally a small dispute to a war on the street.
While shouting, they pushed the crowd behind the people, making the mother and son stumble like a flat boat in the sea. When did the wives and children of that kind of official eunuch family encounter such a scene?
The child could only be so frightened that he hugged his mother and cried. As for the mother, at this time, she also shouted helplessly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let us go." ”
