CHAPTER XVI
The next morning, Su Chen continued to sell Su Ji sugar gourds on the street, and the customer base was still mainly children, of course, there were also some maids and servants who came over to buy them for the little ladies in their house, or the curious Kuo Shao.
Su Chen was dressed in a shirt and dressed as a scholar, so he threw his head on the road to do business, in the eyes of many pedestrians, it was misguided and willing to fall, but he himself didn't realize it at all.
Self-esteem on the surface is not important, only if you are strong in your heart, not shocked by humiliation, inspirational, self-reliant, and relying on yourself to become strong, is the real self-esteem!
Su Chen was peddling there, sometimes boasting, joking and laughing, very naturally, his face was full of sunny smiles after making money, and there was no sense of disobedience.
At the entrance of the street, in a delicate carriage, Bai Susu and Peng Jingqing sat inside to watch Su Chen, who was doing business surrounded by several children.
"He is Su Chen?" Peng Jingqing was a little surprised.
Su Chen at this moment was different from what she expected.
At the beginning, Su Chen's poems and fonts were highly praised by Xu Cainu, and Peng Jingqing felt that this Su Chen Su Yixuan must be knowledgeable, handsome and talented, gentle and elegant, polite, chic and handsome, and has an extraordinary temperament......
Later, when I heard Bai Susu's introduction and Xiaotong's inquiry, I felt that this Su Chen was a profligate skeleton, sharp-beaked monkey gills, lacking education, wild and uninhibited, greedy for money and lustful, addicted to gambling, and couldn't support the mud on the wall......
But at this time, Peng Jingqing saw Su Chen with his own eyes, neither like a genius nor like a gambler, very delicate, well-behaved, although he had a hippie smile but gave people a sense of intimacy.
Bai Susu quietly watched Su Chen's every move and nodded: "Yes, he is Su Chen, and Yixuan should be his name." ”
"Look, it's not as unbearable as Xiaotong described!" Peng Jingqing is straightforward and fast-talking, and his position will change at any time.
Xiaotong retorted: "I don't know my heart, my deeds have spread in the area of Dasuo Street, and when it comes to Su Chen, there is no one who doesn't scold him, so I can't smear him." ”
Bai Susu sighed lightly, she couldn't see through this Su Chen, although she had been doing business in the past few years, representing the Bai family and dealing with many partners, bargaining, superficial entertainment, etc., she had seen many dignitaries and nobles, or wealthy businessmen, most people, character and temperament were easy to see through by her.
But Su Chen's previous impression gradually blurred, and Bai Susu suddenly found that he didn't seem to be familiar with him at all, and he hadn't communicated much.
"What he sold in his hand is the sugar gourd you bought last time?" Peng Jingqing looked at the red rock sugar gourd, which was crystal clear, and felt that the corners of his mouth were saliva.
"It should be his original creation, and he plans to sell it to pay off his debts!" Bai Susu sighed, this sugar gourd is indeed a new thing, and the taste is also very good, after she ate it, she was full of praise. But after all, the daily sales volume is limited, and the price of a string is not high, and it is not easy to plug the hole of 500 yuan with half a profit every day.
"The gap of five hundred guan, was he stupid before, he lost so much, he must have been calculated and set up by that Cao family Saburo, how can this be reasonable, the next time I meet Cao Saburo, I will definitely be beaten up."
Peng Jingqing is very chivalrous, and Cao Jia Saburo was remembered by her like this.
Bai Susu thought about what her grandfather mentioned to her, and the day before yesterday, she came to propose marriage, but was rejected by Su Chen, although Bai Susu is such an independent and strong girl, she still has no feelings for Su Chen, and she doesn't like this marriage, but after hearing that she was rejected by a man, she still has a little pimple in her heart.
As a woman, this kind of contradictory mood is indescribable, probably only a woman can understand.
Just when she was stunned, Peng Jingqing reached out and grabbed her arm, interrupting Bai Susu's thoughts: "Su Chen seems to be in trouble there. ”
When Bai Susu looked intently, he found that Su Chen seemed to have a quarrel with a few people.
"I don't care which one you belong to, if you sell things on these streets, you have to pay us a guarantee." Several ruffians surrounded Su Chen and were asking him for protection money.
"How much?" Su Chen frowned and asked.
"One hundred dollars!" A sloppy man dressed in sackcloth and with an open chest shouted.
"It's too much, no, big deal, it's not sold here." Su Chen listened to the other party's lion open his mouth, he didn't plan to sell it here, if it was ten yuan, he planned to settle the matter, but if he opened his mouth for a hundred yuan, this was deliberately bullying the newcomer.
"Hmph, don't you pay it? Then you can't go! ”
"That's it, I've been selling here for a long time, we've all seen it, you make a lot of money, don't pay the insurance money today, don't want to leave."
These splashes laughed, with banter and coldness on their faces, and stretched out their hands to stop Su Chen, clearly looking for fault.
Su Chen snorted lightly: "In broad daylight, you are planning to rob it openly, is there still a royal law in your eyes?" ”
"What is Wang Fa and how much is it worth? We are rampant in this area, and you don't go to inquire, Jiao Lao Dadi, who dares not to pay the premium here! ”
"Things are smashed, and money is snatched."
After five or six splashes shouted a few words, they didn't continue to theorize with Su Chen, but rolled up their sleeves, couldn't wait to rush up, and began to do something to Su Chen.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Chen picked up the pole and swept it, hit two people, kicked out, kicked one of them, and took the opportunity to escape.
Although he had studied taekwondo in college for two years, he could barely fight alone, but he had no experience in fighting with a few ruffians, and he didn't think he could resist it.
So he found the right opportunity, and planned to take thirty-six plans as the best plan, and the girl wanted to run away.
However, a splash man pounced over, hugged Su Chen with his arms, and several other people gathered around, rolled up their sleeves, and began to punch and kick Su Chen.
Su Chen struggled in pain, but his arms were hugged, and he couldn't get up from lying on the ground, so he could only roll back and forth, trying to let the body of the splasher behind him block his fists and feet.
Even so, he was kicked several times, and he cried out in his heart: will he be killed here today?
Suddenly, a figure in Tsing Yi flew over, like a shock, with chic movements, and immediately after, several screams were heard.
Several ruffians who were beating Su Chen were kicked by a volley, and their figures flew out upside down like sandbags.
"Oh, who attacked it?"
"Who dares to beat Lao Tzu!"
These ruffians stood up with a wail, their faces full of anger, and saw a young woman in a blue neon pomegranate skirt appear in front of them, with picturesque eyebrows, slim and elegant, and naturally beautiful, especially the pair of straight legs, slender and slender, giving people the feeling that there were legs below the chest.
"Stinky woman, you dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu!"
"Teach her a good lesson!"
When these shrubs saw a long-legged girl standing up for righteousness and bravery, they were not afraid, but with a bit of ruthlessness and other meat ideas.
In the corner of the alley not far away, Cao Dan and Boss Jiao were hiding to watch the excitement, and when they saw this woman in Tsing Yi appearing and making a move, her face changed, and she pulled Boss Jiao next to her and hurriedly left: "Flash, the mother worm of the Peng family is here." ”
