CHAPTER XXI

In the early morning of the next day, Mingxiu and her mother got up and walked to the town before dawn, while Ming's father and Xie Zhan went up the mountain with axes to cut down trees.

As long as the house is not officially built, no one will take care of it when they go up the mountain to cut down two trees and repair the house, and it is for this reason that Mingxiu did not think about buying wood, although it is more convenient.

"Mother, I'll push it for a while."

A cart of wild vegetables and fruits, to say the least, there are dozens of catties, Ming's father lifted the weight lightly, Mingxiu didn't notice anything wrong, but now it's Ming's mother, although she didn't see how hard it was, but Mingxiu was still frightened.

"It's okay, I used to be no worse than your father in the rice bag in the field, don't underestimate your mother."

Ming's mother weighed the appearance of her daughter's thin arms and legs, and still shook her head and refused her help, for her, Mingxiu was already very good if she could help, she was sweet in her heart, and felt extremely powerful.

For parents, the most gratifying thing is that their children are sensible, filial and capable.

Everything went smoothly when they entered the town to set up a stall, and even because they came early, the mother and daughter occupied a good place and soon opened their first business.

"I should be able to go back early today to help."

Ming's mother looked at the guests in front of the stall and smiled extremely happily.

"Let's go buy some tiles after selling out in a while, I thought about it, the thatched roof is still not very reliable, and it still can't withstand heavy rain."

It's naturally a good thing to have a tile to cover your head, but Ming's mother is still a little reluctant, "Didn't you say that we plan to build a house next year?" Now it's enough to make a living with thatch, tiles...... It's a bit of a waste. ”

Although she has a little silver, Ming's mother is still reluctant to spend money.

Mingxiu pulled her arm and coquettishly, "Even so, we can still get the tiles on the new roof, right?" Mother, just buy it, please, you don't want it to rain again and our house will be flooded, right? ”

"The little wrongdoer hurry up and let go, my mother is going to be shaken apart by you." Ming's mother was a little helpless, "Isn't it okay for my mother to promise you?" What a debt collector. ”

Although she said that she was disgusted, Ming's mother was serious but still smiled, obviously very useful to Mingxiu's coquettishness.

"Yo, you're new here?"

Before the smiles of the mother and daughter dissipated, a few men appeared in front of the stall.

The customers who had been around the selection saw these people retreat one after another, and after a while, a vacuum area appeared in front of the stall.

Mingxiu frowned slightly, and it could be seen that these people should be the gangsters in this area.

This is......

To collect protection money?

Mingxiu had only heard of this kind of thing before, but now it was the first time she had encountered it, she was slightly panicked in her heart, but she still looked calm.

"A few people want to buy fruit"

She looked at these people carefully, if she only needed some fruit and a few money, Mingxiu would be more willing to spend money to buy peace.

But the world is not satisfactory, the leading strong man frowned, and glanced at these things on the stall with disgust, "Who wants your broken fruit, and your mother came here to set up a stall, why don't you know that this is covered by a few brothers, and the newcomer doesn't even dare to come up to worship the dock, little sister, you can't do this business." ”

"Business is not doing well, but the face is good."

There was immediately a dog leg beside him, and he stepped forward and looked at Mingxiu in a daze.

Now Mingxiu is not the thin appearance when she first came, she has eaten well recently, plus Mingxiu consciously makes the meals at home nutritionally balanced, the earlier sallow face is gone, it is the time to grow her body, she is now convex and backward, her waist is slender, and the clothes on her chest are bulging by her plump figure, and she has the appearance of a woman.

In addition, Mingxiu's appearance does not mention Tubao Village, even if it is in the town, it can be regarded as the top, otherwise, Li Guangyu would not have been willing to marry her even if he knew that Mingxiu was a fool.

Ming's flirtation made Mingxiu's face a little ugly, although she was looked down on and ridiculed when she came here, but she never made her feel so humiliated.

But now there is only one mother by her side, and she can't guarantee that these people who are angry can still retreat with her mother, so she can only suppress the anger in her heart and smile: "I don't know the rules for the newcomers, please forgive me, I don't know how to worship the dock?" ”

Ming's mother was not happy that her daughter was so humiliated, and she was even more worried that her daughter would suffer at the hands of these people, and her face was full of worry, and she wanted to pull Mingxiu behind her and hide her.

But Ming Xiu knew that Ming's mother was not a good speaker, so how could she push her out and let others bully?

"Why be so polite." The boss looked at Mingxiu in a daze, and reached out to touch her face, "Let my brother see if it's really a pretty sister, don't worry, as long as you follow my brother, I will keep your delicious and spicy food." ”

"Our boss hasn't married a wife yet, if you can follow my boss, the good days will come!"

"I don't know if we can pick up a mouthful of soup to drink under the boss."

"Hahaha, don't worry, they are all brothers, if you have Lao Tzu to eat meat, you will not be left without soup to drink, and when Lao Tzu has had enough, I will play with you!"

Mingxiu's face was completely dark, these people were talking about robbing people's girls on the street, without the slightest evasion?

Her eyes fell on the onlookers, those people avoided one after another, these people were rampant and domineering in the town, and the honest and responsible people did not dare to collide with them, and they avoided it if they could, and naturally no one would come out to speak up at this time.

Mingxiu's heart was slightly cold, "You people still have no royal law!" ”

She knew that these hooligans might just be arrogant and didn't dare to really do anything, but even so, the humiliation of not treating her as a person still made Mingxiu unbearable!

In the eyes of these people, no one else has self-esteem?

"Wang Fa?" The boss laughed, "You actually told us about the royal law?" ”

The doglegs behind him also laughed together, and the more they laughed, the more anger in Mingxiu's heart surged.

When she came here a few days ago, there were many officials patrolling in shifts, saying that it was to maintain law and order, but now that there has been a lot of trouble for so long, there has not been a single person wearing official uniforms, is that how those people maintain law and order?

Mingxiu knows that now he can only rely on himself.

"Little sister, if you follow me, you will have any good days in the future, if you don't follow ......"

"What if I don't want to? Can you still rob the people on the street?! ”

Mingxiu still doesn't believe it, really no one can control these people?

"We don't dare, I hope your family has the same backbone as you!"

The boss smiled mockingly, people like them have a lot of means, even if Mingxiu doesn't agree now, he has a way to force Mingxiu to agree!

Mingxiu's face was dark, and he had to admit that what he said was right, these little gangsters don't care about anything, they can be fierce and ruthless, maybe for the big guys, they are all small minions, but for ordinary people, these people ......
