Chapter 320 The noodle shop closes down
Shen Mingzhu rushed to the noodle shop and saw that it was in a mess.

Broken bowls, noodle soup and solidified noodles were scattered all over the floor, making it difficult to even stand.

Five or six social youths who were not easy to mess with at first glance occupied several tables in the noodle shop. They all had cigarettes in their mouths and looked arrogant.

Outside the store, several passers-by stopped to watch the excitement.

"Little sister, why are you here? Where is Pei Yang?"

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu was only carrying Shen Hongmei behind him, Shen Chaobei hurriedly dragged Shen Mingzhu out of the noodle shop, as if he was afraid that Shen Mingzhu would be bullied by the gangsters in the store.

Shen Xiangnan and Qin Jinlian also ran out of the noodle shop and surrounded Shen Mingzhu, their faces full of panic.

"Mingzhu, think of a way quickly. These people are beating and smashing them. They can't be driven away, and the business can no longer be done."

Shen Mingzhu ignored Qin Jinlian's words and turned to ask Shen Chaobei what was going on.

Things have to start a few days ago.

A few days ago, two of these gangsters came to a noodle shop to eat noodles. They didn't pay for the noodles, saying they wanted to get them on credit.

The two brothers naturally disagreed, after all, they didn't know each other.

There was a quarrel between the two parties. Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan were tall and strong, but the two gangsters did not take advantage and left cursing.

Today, two gangsters brought a group of people to the noodle shop to find trouble.

Not only did he deliberately beat and beat the customers away, but he also occupied the table and refused to let the brothers do business. They had been causing trouble all morning.

"Have you called the police?"

"If you report it, these people will leave as soon as the police arrive. When the police leave, these people will come back."

Shen Mingzhu turned around and asked Shen Hongmei to call the police, while she prepared to go into the noodle shop to meet this group of people.

The two brothers and Qin Jinlian held her back and refused to let her go.

"What good will you do if you go? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten?"

"Little sister, don't go. These are not good people. They can do anything."

"Where's Pei Yang? We have to let him come."

The three of you said one sentence to each other.

Shen Mingzhu said: "Pei Yang went to the countryside to harvest apples and won't come back until evening."

Hearing this, the three of them all stood down like eggplants beaten by frost.

"It's over now, what should we do?"

Shen Mingzhu asked the frowning Qin Jinlian to wait outside the noodle shop, while she took the brothers Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan in to negotiate with each other.

Seeing her, the gangsters all had malicious smiles on their faces, and their eyes on Shen Mingzhu were as sticky and disgusting as slugs.

In two lifetimes, Shen Mingzhu faced such a scene for the first time. His scalp was numb, but he tried hard to maintain his composure.

"I wonder who the leader is?"

As she finished speaking, a young man with a crew cut and a conspicuous scar on his left face knocked on the table and looked at Shen Mingzhu wildly.

"Little sister, do you have a problem with your brother?"

Shen Mingzhu raised her feet to walk towards that person, but Shen Chaobei pulled her back, "Little sister..."

"fine."

Shen Mingzhu motioned with her eyes to Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan to follow her, then raised her feet and walked towards the man.

"My surname is Shen. This noodle shop is opened by my eldest and second brother. I wonder what your eldest brother's surname is?"

Shen Mingzhu's humble attitude was very helpful to Scar Man, "Cao Cao knows, right? He and I are from the same family."

"It turns out to be Brother Cao. I'm sorry." Shen Mingzhu said politely and turned to ask Shen Xiangnan to pour water for a few people.

"Brother Cao, my eldest brother and my second brother just came from the countryside. They are uneducated and have no experience. They accidentally offended Brother Cao. I will apologize to Brother Cao and your brothers on their behalf."

Cao Haigang's eyes wandered on Shen Mingzhu's jade-white face, and his tone was frivolous, "Little girl, do you have a partner? My brother is very interested in you. As long as you follow him, I will ensure that you are well-off and popular."

Shen Mingzhu smiled back, "I am from a rural area. I married young and my son is already six years old."

After saying that, he changed the topic directly, "Brother Cao, I don't know what my eldest and second brothers did wrong, which made you feel unhappy. You might as well talk about it. Everything is easy to discuss."

"Okay, since you're so honest, I'll just tell you."

Cao Haigang gestured with two fingers and said, "Starting from today, you will give me 200 yuan every month."

Shen Chaobei became anxious when he heard this, "Why should I give you money?"

Cao Haigang sneered, "Just because this area belongs to me, Cao Haigang, you might as well go out and find out who I am, Cao Haigang!"

Even if Shen Mingzhu was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by Cao Haigang's lion's mouth.

Although the business of the noodle shop is okay, the profit from working from dawn to dusk for a month is only a little over [-]. Cao Haigang asked for [-]. They opened this noodle shop together to help Cao Haigang make money.

"Brother Cao, to be honest, this noodle shop has only been open for less than a month, and it has not made a total of two hundred. Do you think it can be less?"

"Stop your mother!"

A gangster next to Cao Haigang slapped the table and stood up, pointing fiercely at Shen Mingzhu and threatening, "You bitches, don't be so shameless. Two hundred a month, one cent less, you won't even think about it!"

At this time, a gangster sitting at the door reminded him: "Brother Cao, the police are here."

Cao Haigang tapped Shen Mingzhu in the air with his finger, "Little girl, I will come over at [-] noon tomorrow to collect the money. If you can't get the money, don't blame me for being rude to you."

After saying that, Cao Haigang led a group of men and walked away.

The police entered the noodle shop and saw that the three of them had nothing to do. After asking a few questions in a routine manner, they left.

"Little sister, what should I do now?"

"Damn it, just fight them!" Shen Xiangnan was very angry.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Jinlian punched her hard, "What are you talking about? Just stay alone!"

After scolding Shen Xiangnan, Qin Jinlian pulled Shen Mingzhu with a flattering look on her face, "Mingzhu, please think of a way quickly. Otherwise, how about asking Miss Zhong you know for help? Their family is rich and powerful, so how can we deal with it?" These scoundrels are certainly out of the question.”

Shen Mingzhu ignored Qin Jinlian and turned to the two Shen Chaobei brothers: "You guys clean up the store and I'll go out for a walk."

After walking out of the noodle shop and looking around, Shen Mingzhu went to the grocery store diagonally across the street and bought a pack of Yuxi.

After giving the money, Shen Mingzhu handed the cigarette to the boss.

Facing the boss's puzzled eyes, Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "Boss, I want to ask you something."

After coming out of the grocery store, Shen Mingzhu went to other shops on the same street before returning to the noodle shop.

"Pack your things and get ready to move."

"What? Move away? Move to where?"

"What are you talking about? Your eldest and second brothers have rented this store for a year and paid the rent. Now that we move, what will happen to the rent?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at the three Shen family members, "I just asked, except for those related to Cao Degang, all the shops on this street have to pay protection fees to Cao Haigang every month, and the minimum is one per month. Hundred."

"Except for the protection fee, Cao Haigang and his men could eat and take whatever they wanted on this street without giving any money."

"Any money you make from doing business on this street belongs to Cao Haigang. If you lose money, you have to pay the protection fee out of your own pocket."

The three of them were stunned by Shen Mingzhu's words.

"Then the police won't care?"
