“If we don’t return our hard-earned money, we will destroy the store!”
The area outside the People's Barber Shop was full of old men and women, all of them excited and noisy.
Tang Qing was a little panicked and even a little scared when he rushed out of Lao Zhang's tofu and steamed bun shop, but now he breathed a sigh of relief.
Those old men and women just gathered in front of the People's Barber Shop and did not even go up the steps of the People's Barber Shop. Although they shouted loudly, they did not make any other movements with their hands.
Tang Qing first observed the door of the breakfast shop opposite for a while, then moved a stool from inside, stood on it and looked down at the old men and women for a few minutes. When the noise subsided slightly, she shouted:
"Who dares to try to smash the store?!"
There was silence for a moment in front of the People's Barber Shop. Not only was there silence in front of the People's Barber Shop, but there was no sound in the entire downtown street. There were only the sound of car horns and the footsteps of people running in the distance.
"What? You're not shouting? You're shouting!"
As Tang Qing's second shout came out, the old men and women gathered around the door of the People's Barber Shop all turned around and faced Tang Qing.
"From the first time Wang Banxian called me "Master Jiujin", I regard the People's Barber Shop as my life. Whoever dares to touch the People's Barber Shop today will be shaved with the razor in my hand!"
Tang Qing held up the shining razor with one hand.
No one spoke, but more and more people were watching.
"Return your hard-earned money? Now you know it is hard-earned money? Why don't you cherish your hard-earned money and still rush to invest in it? I tell you, if it weren't for the sake of you getting older, I would be here today.
I want to charge you with picking quarrels and provoking trouble, gathering a crowd to cause trouble, and disrupting business order!"
The old men and women lowered their heads, and a few began to retreat.
"Stand still and don't move. There's no way you can leave! Even if you leave now, I will still remember you one by one. Aren't you the blacksmith on East Street? Are you not the four eyes on West Street?
Really? Aren’t you the crying mother-in-law from South Street? Aren’t you the flower lady from North Street?”
…
Tang Qing stood on the stool and pointed out the old men and women one by one. After giving instructions, the hand holding the razor pointed at Lao Zhang, the owner of the tofu and steamed bun shop who had retreated to the door of his shop:
"You, the initiator and culprit of this incident, I want to teach you a lesson! Shiba, drag him over!"
Shiba Pei just saw Tang Qing rushing out of Lao Zhang's Tofu and Steamed Bun Shop in a panic, and he followed him out. However, when he saw the posture of the old men and women at the entrance of the People's Barber Shop, he didn't dare to come back. He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants again.
Later, when he saw Tang Qing standing on a stool and blaming those old men and women, knowing that the situation was completely under Tang Qing's control, Shiba Diao calmed down and felt a surge of blood in his body. He thought to himself, Qingtuan, my
It would be great if Fa Xiao, my classmate and my Jiu Jin master, could become my wife!
Tang Qing identified the old man and old woman who were leading the trouble one by one. The arrogance of the old man and old woman disappeared. Shiba Diao felt even more happy. He simply picked up a basket of tofu and steamed buns from the coal stove next to him and ate them.
While admiring Tang Qing's majesty.
As soon as Tang Qing shouted for him to drag Lao Zhang over, Shiba Di quickly swallowed the last hot tofu bun and went to catch Lao Zhang.
"Brother, please bear with me. I am also confused for a moment."
Lao Zhang hid in his shop.
"Brother, I can't bear it anymore. My Master Jiujin has already spoken, and you are already confused. You should come with me. No, my Master Jiujin asked me to drag you away. I must obey her order!"
Shibatu grabbed Lao Zhang by the collar and dragged him backwards to Tang Qing's feet.
Tang Qing stood on the stool and spoke condescendingly to Lao Zhang:
"Boss Zhang, can you explain it to me carefully?"
"I, I, I..."
"Don't goosegogoose, Master Jiujin is the most annoying to goosegoose!"
"Master Jiujin, do you want him to sing songs to the sky?"
"Let's just let the white hair float on the green water and let the anthurium stir the clear waves!"
"Master Jiujin takes such good care of you, how dare you gather others to destroy the People's Barber Shop?!"
Four people, Shanghai Auntie, Pig Killer, Da Mao, and Sha Gu, rushed to the scene together.
"Don't do anything yet, let him explain things clearly. Shiba, go get a stool!"
"Here comes the stool!"
Before Shiba could go get it, Carpenter Wang brought out a stool from the breakfast shop and placed it next to Tang Qing.
"Boss Zhang, stand up!"
"I, I, I..."
"Still goose goose goose?"
"Quickly stand up!"
The butcher and Da Mao held Lao Zhang hostage on the left and right and stood on the stool.
"The blacksmith on East Street, the four-eyed man on West Street, the crying mother-in-law on South Street, and the flower lady on North Street, you four stand in front of me!"
Tang Qing pointed with the hand holding the razor, and the two old men and two old ladies obediently walked to Tang Qing's stool and stood there with their hands down.
"Boss Zhang, tell me, why do you encourage everyone to smash up the People's Barber Shop?"
"I……"
After Lao Zhang said the word "I", he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, fearing that he would be killed by the pig man and the big-haired white-haired man would float in the green water again.
"Say it, say it loudly!"
"Master Jiujin, I'm really confused for a moment. These days, I can't eat well or sleep well, and I have nightmares every night. Only then..."
"What? Goose goose turned into a talent, a talent, a talent?"
"Do you want to lie down in the coffin?"
"Pig-butcher, Da Mao, don't interrupt, let him continue!"
"Master Jiujin, I can't eat well or sleep well. I have nightmares every night. I feel so uncomfortable!"
"It's because you have a guilty conscience that you can't eat well, sleep well, and have nightmares every night. If you act upright, how could you not be able to eat well, sleep well, and have nightmares every night?"
"Master Jiujin, it's all my fault that I couldn't figure it out at the moment, was too greedy for money, and let Li Zhen take the bait. As a result, I harmed myself and so many neighbors."
"Why did you hurt your neighbors?"
"In order to become a gang leader, I deceived my neighbors into joining Li Zhen's illegal pyramid scheme."
"Gang leader? What is a gang leader? How is it different from the leader?"
"Master Jiujin, Li Zhen said that the leader is just a senior member of his staff, and the gang leader can set up his own organization and develop members by himself, as long as he pays a certain membership fee to him."
"Boss Zhang, Boss Zhang, you are so shrewd and confused for a moment that you can even believe this? Is it because the four of them have been pestering you that you want to smash the People's Barber Shop?"
Tang Qing pointed at the blacksmith on East Street, the four-eyed man on West Street, the crying mother-in-law on South Street, and the flower lady on North Street.
"That's right. I thought I was unlucky, but why am I greedy for money? But the four of them refused to let me go. They insisted that I take them to boss Li Li to get an explanation."
"Li Li has nothing to do with this matter!"
"I know that this matter has nothing to do with Boss Li Li, but I know that it has to do with her twin sister Li Ya. Just now Shiba Pei accidentally leaked that the person who came to my store to eat tofu and steamed buns just now was not Li Lili
The boss is her twin sister Liya, so I called the four of them and asked them to bring some people to the People's Barber Shop to surround Liya and ask for an explanation."
Lao Zhang timidly told what happened.
When Shiba Pei heard that Lao Zhang said that the incident was caused by his leakage, he quickly withdrew from the crowd and hid by the telephone pole at the entrance of the alley.
"You even dare to surround the People's Barber Shop? Are you tired of living?"
"The People's Barber Shop is a sacred place for all of us, how dare you surround me?"
"Wei Renmin Barbershop is like Master Jiujin!"
"Yes, to besiege Renmin Barber Shop is to besiege Master Jiujin. We will never allow you to besiege Master Jiujin!"
The Pig Killer, Shanghai Aunt, Da Mao, and Silly Aunt all accused Lao Zhang.
"Don't be blind and be quiet. Dear uncles and aunts, you have been deceived and suffered financial losses. I understand your feelings, but you must have done something wrong by coming to the People's Barber Shop to surround Li Ya like this without asking any questions. Let me tell you,
Li Ya is here specifically to make up for your losses, if you don’t believe me, ask him!”
