Chapter 265 [The road is uneven] (2)

In the downtown area, people gathered together.

In the crowd, two young men surrounded the sugar-making old man, one of them grabbed his collar with one hand, lifted his old body a little, raised his other hand high, and said viciously: "Old ghost, hurry up!" Take the money, believe it or not, I'll break your bones."

Meng Xiaodie didn't expect that something would happen here just after she left for a while, but she didn't know the whole story, and she wasn't in a hurry to get ahead.

"What's going on, I think the old man is quite an honest person, how could he offend them?" Meng Xiaodie asked
"The girl is an outsider. You don't know. These two belong to the Xiaozhu Gang. This street is their territory. Every hawker shop that does business has to pay protection fees. The protection fees are more expensive than the imperial court. It's so serious that it doesn't give people a chance to survive." Meng Xiaodie's words aroused the man's resentment, and he told the whole story.

"Even if you beat me to death, I still have no money. I just collected two taels of silver two days ago, and then I came to collect it again after a few days. I don't have so much money to give you even if I open a bank." Lao Tang The man raised his neck and said.I am very disgusted and helpless with this group of people. How much money can he make every month?More than half of it was used as protection fees, and it was even worse this month. He received it three times, not to mention earning money, and even paid for materials. Money can't be given either.

"Our eighth master accepts a concubine, and all the shops pay gift money. If you don't give it, then you are looking down on our eighth master?" the man snorted coldly.

"I don't care about the eighth and ninth masters, anyway, I have no money for you." Old Tang said.

"Why tell him so much, he won't give it, we won't take it ourselves." Another person said impatiently, there are still a lot of bills to be collected today, and whether the situation can be opened depends on the opening shot .

As he spoke, he crossed the old sugar man and came to his stall. His gaze fell on a dilapidated small wooden box, he pulled it out, and opened it with his hands, revealing a few rags inside. Open the rag, half of neatly arranged copper coins appear in front of you.

As soon as this man's eyes lit up, he would be polite, he opened his big hand and grabbed it. The old sugar man became impatient and struggled desperately, but how could his old body be able to match the strength of the young man, and he was pushed down on the ground.

"You can't take my money. I bought it for my wife's medicine. I beg you to give it back to me." The old sugar man hugged one person's leg and refused to let him go. He begged repeatedly, and the muddy tears blurred eyes.

"Go away." The man kicked the old sugar man away and gave a sound of pooh. He didn't care what the money was for, as long as it was in his hands, there was no reason to hand it over.

"Give me back the money, please..." Old Sugar Man persisted. The money was too important to him. His wife was sick in bed, and he was just waiting for the money to save his life. If these two people took it away, he would I can't even imagine it.

"Old ghost, why are you still entangled with me?" The man felt impatient at being entangled by the old sugar man, and kicked out viciously, making the old sugar man's eyes roll, but he didn't let go. His last hope!
People around pointed, shook their heads and sighed, sympathizing with what happened to him, but no one stepped forward to help, afraid of causing trouble to the upper body, which shows the warmth and coldness of human nature.

"Miss, shall we help him?" Xiao Di begged.

Meng Xiaodie remained motionless, noncommittal, Xiao Di knew that she wanted to let her do it herself.

Seeing the sad look of the old man, Xiao Di couldn't bear it anymore.

Stepping forward, he shouted, "Stop!"
