A guy who was obviously a gangster from Ming Jue City passed by Zhou Yuan and walked into the shop.
And when he walked over, he yelled at Zhou Yuan.
In addition to him, at least a dozen other people walked into the shop one after another.
The noodle shop owner stopped what he was doing, and the girl stopped serving tea and water to the customers.
When Zhou Yuan saw this scene, he probably knew what happened.
It's similar to what I've seen before, probably just to collect protection money.
"Yeshan! Is it time to pay this month's protection fee?"
When the customers in the noodle shop saw this scene, some of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and left the noodle shop in a hurry.
In the end, only Zhou Yuan was left, still eating noodles leisurely.
Fortunately, he didn't move too much, so he didn't attract anyone else's attention.
"The protection fee...wasn't it just given last week?"
The noodle shop owner known as Ye Shan has a somewhat unsightly expression.
This is already the third time this month!
And every time they say it's for protection money, in fact, except for these gangsters, no one else will pay attention to their noodle shop!
"Really? Why did I forget?"
The gangster leader had long, messy hair, a somewhat weird hairstyle, and an unruly expression on his face.
It makes him look very weak, but he doesn't seem to know it.
Zhou Yuan ate the noodles quietly and was not in a hurry.
There must be something weird about that girl, and now is the opportunity to test her weirdness.
So he won't rush to do it.
"Dad! Don't give them money. If you do, mom won't have money for medical treatment this month!"
The girl with the ponytail ran to her father and looked at the gangsters nervously.
After the gangster saw the girl, his eyes lit up.
"It's not impossible not to pay the protection fee. As long as sister Ruoshui goes out to play with us, your family won't have to pay the protection fee in the future."
Zhou Yuan understood clearly that the protection fee was probably just a pretext.
What these people are really interested in is the daughter of the noodle shop owner.
When the noodle shop owner heard what the gangsters said, his face turned red and he became angry.
The scar on his face has turned a little red!
"What? You want to fight with us?"
Several gangsters each took out daggers from their waists.
The noodle shop owner was holding a kitchen knife, and his palm was full of veins.
But in the end I put the kitchen knife down.
"You are really kidding me. I only have a daughter, and there is no way I can let her follow you."
After saying that, he took out a box wrapped in oilcloth from the drawer of the table next to him.
Take out a thick stack of money from inside.
"Dad! Don't give it to them!"
The noodle shop owner's daughter was already in tears.
"Mom is in the hospital, she is still waiting for the medical bills!"
"Silly boy, it's nothing to give them, I'm sure you can still borrow money!"
The noodle shop owner's face was full of misery.
Where are the opportunities to borrow money?
All those relatives have been borrowed by them!
Some kind-hearted people are willing to give them more money, but after one or two times, everyone will know.
Their whole family is a bottomless pit. If you lend them money, don't think about getting it back!
"Sister Ruoshui, for the sake of your mother, you should leave with us."
