It wasn't until Ye Tian spoke that Liu Zhentao and Liu Qingqing realized that family matters should not be discussed in front of outsiders.
Besides, Ye Tian still came to eat.
There is no reason to open a restaurant and still make people hungry.
"Sorry little brother, I will go to the kitchen to make noodles for you now." Liu Zhentao's old face looked slightly apologetic.
Immediately afterwards, he returned to the kitchen and started making noodles for Ye Tian.
Not long after, Liu Qingqing brought a bowl of fragrant beef noodle soup to Ye Tian.
She placed the noodles in front of Ye Tian, and then patiently reminded: "Ye Tian, if you are not full, let me know. Our noodles can be refilled for free."
"Um."
Ye Tian didn't say much nonsense.
He had been hungry all day. When the noodles were served, he immediately picked up the chopsticks and spoon and drank three spoons of the soup base, feeling the deliciousness of the soup base.
Then Ye Tian picked up the ramen noodles in the soup with chopsticks, blew on it for a few times, and then put it into his mouth.
The noodles are chewy and chewy, elastic yet tough. It would have been impossible without thirty years of effort to stretch the noodles to such an extent.
This made Ye Tian feel extremely satisfied.
Seeing him enjoying his food, Liu Qingqing also showed a satisfied smile.
When Liu Qingqing was a child, her family was poor and she often didn't have enough to eat. What she longed for most every day was to have a full meal.
Later, after her parents and grandfather opened this noodle shop together, the family's financial conditions gradually improved.
Liu Qingqing's favorite thing is to watch the satisfied expressions of the diners in the store.
Seeing that Ye Tian was concentrating on eating, Liu Qingqing did not disturb him, but walked back to the front desk to start calculating today's water bill.
However, not long after, a group of uninvited guests broke the silence in the store.
I saw a few gangsters swaggering into the store, and as soon as they entered, they kicked over the tables and chairs at the door of the store.
The huge movement startled all the customers eating noodles in the store, and everyone looked at the group of hooligans at the door.
Liu Qingqing also noticed this group of people. She quickly stood up and walked to a few gangsters. She forced a smile on her face and said, "Brother Hu, what kind of wind brought you here today?"
Zhang Hu is the leader of this street.
He is a full 1.9 meters tall, and his body is extremely strong and muscular. Just standing there gives people a terrifying sense of oppression.
"Money, money!"
Zhang Hu had a cigarette in his mouth. He was very unhappy with Liu Qingqing's attitude of pretending to be stupid. He picked up the leg of the table and smashed the whole table directly next to her, shocking Liu Qingqing.
If this hit Liu Qingqing directly, he would definitely be hospitalized.
"Do you want me to say more about this kind of thing?"
"Brother Hu, can you extend your grace for a few more days? If you give us some time, we will definitely pay off Ziyang's debt."
Liu Qingqing was a little scared and her face turned a little pale, but she still forced a smile. She wanted to postpone the payment.
"Okay! You dare to challenge my patience, right?"
Brother Hu smiled, slapped the table and ordered his subordinates.
"Brothers, smash it for me, don't let me see that there is still a complete piece of this shit."
As soon as Brother Hu opened his mouth, he wanted to destroy Liu Qingqing's family's decades-old store and cut off their source of funding!
"No! Brother Hu! I said it wrong, I'm sorry!"
Liu Qingqing's face turned pale to the extreme.
If there was no noodle shop, she would not be able to support her family on her salary as a trainee nurse.
This is going to drive their family to death!
At this time, Liu Zhentao also rushed out of the kitchen, his face extremely ferocious, holding the kitchen knife tightly in his hand, and quickly protected Liu Qingqing behind him.
"Zhang Hu! The one who owes you money is that rotten gambler Liu Ziyang. What does it have to do with us?"
"Haha, haven't you heard of this sentence, Mr. Sun's debt is repaid?"
Zhang Hu arrogantly blew out a smoke ring and threw it directly at Liu Zhentao's face, not afraid of the kitchen knife in his hand.
If he hadn't been able to find Liu Ziyang's grandson, he wouldn't have appeared here.
"Fart! Don't even think about taking another penny from us!"
Liu Zhentao said angrily.
Ever since Liu Ziyang became addicted to gambling five years ago and owed more than one million yuan to the casino, the Liu family has never had a good day.
In order to help Liu Ziyang pay off the gambling money, they sold all the valuable things in their home and borrowed more money to collect one million in cash.
However, after handing over one million to the casino, he was told that the one million could only be counted as interest, and there was still one million short of the principal!
Because of this incident, Liu Ziyang's parents once argued with people at the casino, but they were beaten to death by Zhang Hu and others from the casino!
From then on, Liu Zhentao understood one thing.
People like Zhang Hu had no intention of letting them go.
Not to mention repaying them one million, even if it were to repay ten million, it would be useless!
Therefore, Liu Zhentao was determined not to succumb to the majesty of people like Zhang Hu, and would never pay a penny to repay him until his death.
Big deal!
Just use his life, which has only a few years left to live, to fight against them!
"Brothers! You have heard me now! It's not that I, Zhang Hu, don't give them face, it's that they don't give me, Zhang Hu, face. How dare you not pay back the money you owe! It's quite arrogant!!"
Zhang Hu sneered a few times, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stepped on it hard.
"Then we can't blame you. I think your granddaughter is also pretty, so let's use your granddaughter to pay for this million!"
Liu Qingqing's face turned pale and everyone was frightened.
She knew Zhang Hu was not bluffing.
The daughter of Lao Li next door was captured and sold by Zhang Hu and others for five years. She just came home the year before last and jumped off a building three months ago!
Liu Zhentao's eyes were wide open. He protected Liu Qingqing with one hand and clenched the kitchen knife with the other hand, threatening Brother Hu and others.
"You dare to touch Xiao Qing. Even if I risk my life today, I will drag you all to see King Yama!"
"Oh! The old immortal has quite a lot of momentum! Brothers, copy those guys! Beat the old one to death, but don't hurt this woman, otherwise it will be us who lose!"
Zhang Hu was fearless and lit another cigarette.
Opening your mouth will cost someone's life!
The younger brothers beside him took out various weapons.
Knives, steel pipes, baseball bats, and some weapons were stained with solidified blood.
This is not meant to scare people!
Anyway, they have a lot of backers, so killing one or two people with no background is just a trivial matter.
"Xiaoqing, run quickly!"
Liu Zhentao was anxious, he knew that he would not be the opponent of these people.
"I don't!"
Liu Qingqing's eyes filled with tears and she cried: "Grandpa, what will you do if I leave?"
Her idea is simple.
If grandpa died here, she wouldn't be alive either!
"Silly girl, it's enough for grandpa to live such a long life, but you are different. You still have a lot of youth, how could you fall into the hands of these beasts?"
Liu Zhentao was in tears, and he was also reluctant to let go of his granddaughter.
But there is no way.
If they don't do this, Zhang Hu and the others will capture Liu Qingqing, and her life will be over by then.
"Want to run away? Hahaha, if you can really run out of this street, then I, Zhang Hu, won't have to mess around anymore!"
Zhang Hu snorted coldly.
"Fuck them all!"
Zhang Hu's men slowly forced forward, some of them were on guard against Liu Zhentao's knife, and some were ready to rush forward and catch Liu Qingqing.
"You beasts don't even think about touching my granddaughter! I will fight with you today!"
Liu Zhentao's eyes were also red, and he was about to chop at these people with a kitchen knife.
But he got old after all.
Before he could slash with the kitchen knife, a gangster stepped forward and kicked Liu Zhentao in the stomach. He flew away and hit the cashier's front desk.
There was a bang.
Liu Zhentao was kicked almost to death. He couldn't hold the kitchen knife in his hand and threw it aside.
"grandfather!"
Liu Qingqing was so anxious that she cried and quickly ran to Liu Zhentao to check on his condition.
Her grandfather was already over fifty. At this age, even if he got cold, something might happen, let alone being kicked like this.
However, this scene caused some diners who had not left the store to complain and criticized Zhang Hu and others.
"Oh! The old store manager was kicked to death, right?"
"You really don't care about human life, and you dare to arrest people and sell them."
"How come there are such lawless local snakes these days! Call the police immediately!"
After Zhang Hu heard these people's words, his face instantly became gloomy.
He didn't expect that these days there would be so many people who were not afraid of death and dared to interfere with Zhang Hu's affairs.
It seems that to give these people some power, they don't know how to write the word "death"!
Zhang Hu glanced around, then came to a dining table. Without saying a word, he picked up the ramen in front of a young man who was feasting on it, and then smashed it to the ground.
"I, Zhang Hu, am doing things. Who dares to stand in front of me?! Get out of here!"
