Lin Mei came to the stall with tofu as usual, and within half an hour, half of the tofu was sold.

Because the weather is not beautiful, it is drizzling, and there are fewer and fewer people in the market, Lin Mei thinks about waiting and seeing, if it can't be sold, she will pick it up and go home first, and cover the tofu and bean sprouts with the oilcloth prepared before, for fear of being damaged by the rain.

Not far away, a group of menacing street ruffians came.

"It's her, she's been here for a long time, I've been observing it for several days, the business is getting good, and the money is spent." A man in a yellow robe said to another gray-robed man.

I saw the gray-robed man rushing over and shouting at Lin Mei: "Who asked you to set up a stall here, have you paid the protection fee and the booth fee?" ”

Lin Mei saw that this person was not good, so she looked at the gray-robed man in front of her, and looked at the height of one meter seven or eight, from the center of her eyebrows to her left eye, there was a centipede-like scar, and she stood in front of the stall with a fierce look.

Knowing that he would definitely have to spend some money today, he took out ten yuan from his purse and said to the man: "Uncle, I am also poor in my family, my father is sick again, and my younger brothers and sisters need to be fed, so I came here to set up a stall, I don't know that I have to pay protection fees and booth fees to set up a stall here, and no one told me, so I will pay it." ”

The gray-robed man didn't expect Lin Mei to be so cooperative, so he saved him a lot of effort, took the copper plate, and saw that there were ten texts, and he wanted to let her go.

But the man in yellow reminded beside him: "Don't forget Mrs. Qiao's words." ”

The gray-robed man suddenly changed his mind, and said to Lin Mei: "This ten wen is today's protection fee, I heard that you have been here for several days, I am still more fair, I will calculate it for you in five days, you have to give another fifty wen protection fee, and you have to make up for the stall fee of sixty wen, from now on, you have to set up a stall here again, and you have to pay twenty wen a day." ”

Nani, Twenty Wen? Why don't you grab it, Lin Mei roared inwardly.

But Lin Mei knew that she couldn't come hard, and listening to the tone of the man in yellow, it was because someone was deliberately making things difficult.

"Uncle, this early in the morning, you also saw it, there is no one on the street, I just arrived this morning, or you let me for a while, and when I sell the tofu, I will have the money to pay." Lin Mei said weakly.

The surrounding vegetable farmers also began to sympathize with Lin Mei's plight. But they were afraid of harming themselves, and they didn't dare to come forward.

The man in yellow didn't follow, he saw that Lin Mei was still a little bit beautiful before, and his heart was already itching, and he teased: "How can you have the kung fu to accompany you to sell tofu, or you follow the master to drink a few cups, your tofu, our brother has all the package." ”

After saying that, it also caused several other street ruffians to laugh.

The angry Lin Mei clenched her fists, thinking that if they came hard, they would fight to break the net, and they would also protect their innocence.

Seeing that Lin Mei didn't answer, the man in yellow opened his eyes wide and looked at himself angrily, which made him very faceless, thinking that he had to give her a look at the color, he kicked down the basket containing tofu with his foot, and in an instant, the tofu and bean sprouts were scattered on the ground.

Lin Mei was really angry this time, and grabbed the flat pole and held it in her hand to defend herself.

"What do you want to do, you are not afraid that I will report to the official and let the county master arrest you all." Lin Mei bluffed.

"Hahaha, report to the official, do you know how the county government is going? Do you want our brothers to accompany you? The man in yellow laughed and said, then turned his head and said to the man in gray robe: "Brother Qiang, this little girl said that she wanted to report to the official, are you afraid, I'm so afraid." ”

Several other men laughed again, and one of them pointed to the gray-robed man named Brother Qiang with a pockmarked face, and said to Lin Mei, "Do you know who he is?" The brother-in-law of our county master, entering the yamen is like entering your own home, you also report to the official, Zhiqu quickly kowtow to the master to admit his mistake, and accompany the master to have a few drinks for a while, and serve our strong brother well, in the future, on this street, where you want to set up a stall, you choose. ”

Lin Mei really wanted to fight with a flat shoulder, but reason told herself that she couldn't, they were outnumbered, and if they really fought, Lin Mei couldn't beat them, and it angered them even more, and it would be even more difficult to get out.

When the man in yellow saw Lin Mei's trembling appearance, his heart was even more itchy, and he couldn't wait to hold it in his arms immediately. So he was bold and reached out to pull.

Seeing this, Lin Mei reflexively hit her directly.

When the man with a pockmarked face saw that his companion was beaten, he also reached out to pull it, and the man in yellow was beaten with his hand, and he was embarrassed and angry, and raised his hand to Lin Mei's face.

"Pain, pain, pain, ......"

The raised hand of the man in yellow was grabbed by the catcher who rushed over.

"A few masters, if you have something to say, how can this delicate little lady be willing to do it." Said quickly.

"Ouch, it's Ding Zhutou, who should I be, no, this lady offended Brother Qiang, let her apologize, she still refused, and started beating people, you see I was beaten by her, ouch, it hurts Lao Tzu." When the man in yellow saw that the person who came was an acquaintance, he was relieved to talk nonsense.

Ding Zhutou still doesn't know this group of people, relying on the relatives of the county lord to be powerful in the town, saying that the relatives are all promoting him, but he is just the brother of a concubine favored by the county lord, and he dares to call himself the brother-in-law of the county lord.

If it were on weekdays, Ding Zhutou might turn a blind eye, but now he can't, I heard that King Qin is going to Taiyuan Mansion in the next few days, and he is just passing by Baishui Town today, in case he is bumped into, not to mention his official uniform, even the black gauze hat on the head of the county master has to be lifted. But I don't want to offend people plainly, in case I annoy him, so it's time to put on my own shoes.

Ding Zhutou said to Brother Qiang: "Brother Qiang, it's convenient to take a step to speak." ”

Ding Jiuzhou saw Brother Qiang following Ding Zhutou towards a place where no one was, and muttered something to himself. He was very anxious, he had just recognized Lin Meilai, and wanted to talk to Uncle Ding, but he couldn't interject.

Finally waited for the uncle to finish speaking, and walked over, Ding Jiuzhou shouted: "Are you the sister of the Lin family?" ”

Ding Zhutou asked in surprise, "Jiuzhou, do you know her?" ”

"I've seen it in Poplar Village before." After speaking, he whispered in Ding Zhutou's ear, "This is the woman that the cousin of the Gu family has taken a fancy to, and the two families are preparing to discuss marriage."

Oh, that's a coincidence.

Gu Fengnian and Ding Zhutou, but they grew up in a small village, their relationship is very good, the two families are still in-laws, Gu Muqing is also what he has seen since he was a child, if he really becomes the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, he will have to call him an uncle in the future.

"Brother Qiang, this is my future nephew and daughter-in-law, for my sake, forget about today's affairs." This can be regarded as finding a bright step for Brother Qiang to go down.

Lin Mei knew that this was an excuse for her again, and she was embarrassed to tear down the stage, just staring at the two and listening to them.

"Today's matter, for the sake of Ding Zhutou, but you are not allowed to set up a stall here in the future."

Ding Zhutou hurriedly agreed for Lin Mei, and in his opinion, a woman should be at home to teach her father and son, and this work of making money should be a man's business, so he didn't agree with Lin Mei's showing up to do business.

Lin Mei heard that she couldn't set up a stall, wouldn't she have cut off her financial route, and when she saw Brother Qiang turn around to leave, she wanted to argue a few more words, but was stopped by Ding Jiuzhou.

"Sister, listen to my uncle's advice, you can't put this stall on, they all know you, or let your family change their faces and come out."

Ding Zhutou also knew that he could protect it for a while, but he couldn't protect it for a lifetime. Unless the county lord is transferred, Lin Mei doesn't want to continue on this street.
