Chapter 47
She was just curious about where the magistrate would arrange her stall.
In the future, she will sell mushrooms in the name of the county magistrate, and the mushrooms will definitely sell better than before! Thinking of this, Tangchi feels that the money is bright, and the mushrooms sold can quickly go around the city, so she is in a good mood.
Great, I decided to have a meat-free celebration for myself.
She remembered that there was a meat stall in the alley where she sold mushrooms last month, and the uncle who sold the meat was a very kind man.
However, as soon as Tangchi reached the entrance of the alley, he heard some discordant sounds.
"Old woman, if you don't pay, I will throw away all your food!"
"Didn't I just pay it at the beginning of the month... I already have no money."
"No money? Brothers, throw it at me!"
"No, no! Please...please..."
I saw an old grocery shopping lady who had chatted with Tangchi before, lying on the ground, pulling on a gangster's trouser leg and begging hard.
"If you don't pay, why are you selling vegetables?" The gangster kicked her hard.
The old woman was kicked so hard that she fell backwards and could not stand up. "I beg you..." She looked distressedly at the fact that her dish was about to be poisoned by the gangsters, with despair in her eyes.
The stalls in this alley are the cheapest. The people selling things crowded in the alley are farmers from nearby villages, just to exchange their own things for some money to go back.
Some of them were teenagers and some were elderly people. They all huddled aside in panic, watching carefully, for fear that they would be next.
Tangchi looked around, but she didn't see Zhong Cheng. She only saw one person who often followed Zhong Cheng. She had never seen the others.
Tangchi, who was well aware of the terror of the gangsters, stopped at the entrance of the alley and did not dare to take another step forward looking at the chaos in the alley.
It was hard for her to move around the city properly, and she must not offend them again.
In the alley, a group of poor farmers were either panicked or desperate. The burden of life bent their backs and made it almost impossible for them to survive. Outside the alley, there were constant cries, and it was still a lively scene.
Tangchi just stood between excitement and despair, feeling complicated and heavy.
Reason told her that she could not protect herself, and she must not offend these gangsters again, otherwise, the scene in front of her would be her tomorrow. However, looking at the old woman lying on the ground begging, she couldn't bear it and wanted to go up and stop her.
.
"Damn old woman! I'm going to smash your things right now so that you won't be able to sell vegetables in the future! Smash it for me!"
"No!" The old woman's hoarse voice was desolate.
The vegetables in the bamboo basket were dumped on the ground, and a few gangsters stepped on them and crushed them.
"I beg you! I will kowtow to you!"
Seeing the old woman kneeling staggeringly, looking at the green vegetables mixed with dust, and then thinking of the potatoes and corn that had just sprouted in her vegetable garden, Tangchi gritted his teeth and said, "It belongs to his second master!" Then he pulled it.
He ran in with the bamboo basket on his shoulder.
"stop!"
Because the scene was too chaotic, Tangchi's voice did not attract anyone's attention.
"Stop that, Mr. Tang!" Tangchi yelled, with an overbearing aura in his words, and the whole alley fell silent.
The thug who was smashing things stopped and looked at the soup pool.
The leader among them saw her, snorted coldly at the old woman, and walked towards her. "Hey, isn't this Tangchi! I haven't seen you for more than half a month!" This person was following Zhong Cheng all day long, and he was very mean.
