Chapter 248

These few people are well-known gangsters on this street, and they live by collecting money. Although the Shuntian government officials know about this kind of thing, they have been banned repeatedly, and it is not a serious crime. Meals are really not worth it, at most, no one rewards a few boards, so let's just drive them away.But after a long time, even the yamen gradually didn't care about it. Moreover, since one thing has become a routine, the common people seem to have accepted it. Except for a few shops with people behind them, most of the shops on this street are honestly open. Court fee.

Since the North-South goods store closed, these young people have been paying close attention to the movement of this store. Although they knew that this store belonged to the General's Mansion before, so they dared not come to pay for it, but now they are looking at the shopkeeper inside. I also left, and the decoration was changed. The two people who were doing the decoration inside, one looked like a big boss, and the other was an idiot. I guessed that the shop had already been bought by someone else, so I decided to try my luck.

But who knew that before he came in, he felt that the carpenter looked a little scary, but these people were not intimidated. Usually when encountering such a situation, it depends on who is braver than the other.So before I said a few words, I moved my hands. Originally, these four people were also nicknamed the Four King Kongs on this street, but who knew that the carpenter was hiding his secrets, and suddenly put them all together. Donkey Kong was so beaten that he rolled to the ground and the Arhat was stacked up.

At this moment, I saw a pretty girl standing up to speak again. They wanted to be tough again, but when they saw the carpenter behind him holding an ax and looking at him fiercely, he immediately lost his spine. .

The leader only said angrily: "Brothers, let's go."

Seeing that there was no excitement, the spectators dispersed one after another. A few kind-hearted people were still worried for Zhao Caifeng and the others, so they whispered: "Girl, if you want to do a stable business on this street, you'd better not Those who offend these few people are not good things, just like bastards."

Zhao Caifeng only nodded to thank them for their kindness, and then asked: "Where do they have such courage, there are so many shops on this street, does every family pay the bill?"

Just now, they only got a little knowledge from the old lady of the Sichuan restaurant, but now seeing someone reminding them, Zhao Caifeng felt that the old lady must know something, so she asked one more question.

The aunt is the proprietress of the tea shop next door. She looks a little thin in her early forties, and she doesn't come to the shop very often, so Zhao Caifeng doesn't know her very well.

"Our street, half of the street used to be the ancestral property of Xuanwuhou's family. Later, Xuanwuhou's mansion gradually declined, so they sold and rented the property on this street. The few you saw today The young man who found fault is also a servant of Xuanwuhou's family, if they are not under the cover of the Houfu, would they dare to do this?" The aunt just said, and sighed again: "It's just that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. People who are willing to offend the powerful, those who are really rich and powerful, they don't dare to bully them, and they are all pickers."

After hearing what she said, Zhao Caifeng finally understood, no wonder Shuntian Fu Yin also turned a blind eye to this matter. Matters related to the rich and powerful are such trivial things that those dignitaries think in their hearts. Naturally not to force.If it is delayed for three to five days, it will fade away, and if it is delayed for three to five months, it will be forgotten.Ordinary people want to live a stable life, so they can only obediently pay their bills.

Zhao Caifeng thanked the aunt next door, and squatted down to tidy up things with Yang and the others. Fortunately, those table legs and stool legs were still half-finished, so the loss was not serious.Zhao Wen has always been timid, and just now he was so scared that he hid behind the counter, trembling all over, Zhao Caifeng just squatted down to comfort him, and grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds that Grandma Yu had given her when she went out.

There were scattered shavings everywhere in the small patio in the backyard. Yang swept them into a pile with a broom and put them in big sacks.This kind of wood shavings is best used in raw coal stoves. After drying, they are very fluffy, and they can start a fire with just a little bit.Yang raised her head and saw Carpenter Qian was planing wood over there again. The wooden planer made a creaking sound, which made her feel itchy.

"Uncle, your face seems to be scratched. I'll fetch a basin of water. You can wash it off."

Carpenter Qian only lowered his head, and wiped his face with his hand. Sure enough, there was some blood on his palm, which should have been accidentally obtained when he was fighting with those young men just now.Hearing what Yang said, he said in a low voice, "Don't bother sister-in-law, these minor injuries will heal in a while."

There is no well in this yard, you have to go out through the back door, and there is a well shared by several households in the alley at the entrance of the alley. Everyone gets water there, and it takes about an hour to walk there for a cup of tea. Usually, he rushes Mrs. Yang went to pick up water before she came to deliver food at noon. It was still early today, and she hadn't gone to pick up water yet, so the water tank in the yard was empty.
