The shop owner's surname was Shen, and it was he who was called 'Fat Shen' by the market scoundrel outside the door. As soon as Boss Shen heard this voice, the expression on his face immediately changed. He didn't even bother to collect the money and hurriedly greeted him. .
"Brother Li, you are here!"
Boss Shen had a bright smile on his face, and his round face looked like a chrysanthemum blooming for a moment.
Lin Kun looked towards the door and saw a man in his thirties walking in. He was dressed in a very arrogant style. Behind him were two equally arrogant young men. Both of them looked like they were in their early twenties. He has baked yellow hair, one head is covered with hairspray, and his hair is standing upside down.
Brother Li was the middle-aged man who came in first, holding a toothpick crookedly in his mouth, tilting his neck to look at Boss Shen, and said frivolously: "Fat Shen, I haven't seen you for half a month, you have gained weight again. "
As he said that, he glanced sideways at Lin Kun and the two children, then turned around and continued: "What's wrong, you're trying to trick people here again. The prices for the things you're selling are not fair at all."
Boss Shen immediately laughed awkwardly, winked at Brother Li, and said: "Brother Li, you are really good at joking. I, Fatty Shen, have always been honest and fair in my business dealings. People here don't know, Li Brother, you are the eldest brother in our area, and you should know the best about small traders like me."
Brother Li chuckled, raised his hand and slapped Boss Shen on the face. The force was not strong, but the slap was very loud, and it sounded like a slap in the ear.
Boss Shen immediately shrank his neck nervously, but did not dare to dodge.
Brother Li smiled and scolded: "Two days ago, my second uncle came to your place to buy salute guns to worship our ancestors. You didn't kill my second uncle. When the old man found out afterwards, he was so angry that he lay on the kang at home for three days. "
"this……"
Boss Shen immediately made a grimace and wanted to explain, but Brother Li waved his hand and interrupted: "Stop making excuses for me here. This is your fault. The slap I just gave you will be treated as a crime." Lesson learned.”
Boss Shen suddenly looked confused. This shouldn't be the case. This brother Li is the biggest gangster in the area, covering all the businesses in the town. When did his temper become so good? He cheated his second uncle a lot of money. Regardless of whether the old man was really angry and had been lying on the kang for three days. According to Brother Li's temper, it should be more than just a slap on the face. Could it be...
Boss Shen's mind was moving rapidly, and he suddenly thought of something. He came to Brother Li's side and said with an embarrassed look: "Brother Li, it's my fault this time. Next month's protection fee, I... …I paid you on time and added some more. I won’t dare to cheat anyone who is your relative in the future, and I will guarantee to sell to them at the lowest price.”
Although Boss Shen's voice was not loud, Lin Kun could hear it clearly.
Brother Li suddenly raised his eyebrows. Instead of showing any happy expression, he actually became angry.
"Fat Shen, what do you mean? Am I, Mr. Li, such a money-grubbing person? I have one more thing to do when I come here today. From now on, the protection fee... will no longer be collected!"
"What?"
Boss Shen suddenly screamed in surprise and blinked his eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
Brother Li suddenly became unhappy, frowned and said, "Fat Shen, what do you mean, you don't believe me?"
Boss Shen quickly explained, "Brother Li, don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."
"What did you say?" Brother Li frowned and stared at his eyes, looking like he was going to hit someone.
"I, I..." Boss Shen hesitated, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Brother Li raised his hand as if he was going to hit someone. At this time, Boss Shen's fat wife came out from the inner room of the store, ran over and said: "Brother Li, calm down, I don't know how to talk. Don’t mind, our protection fees are paid on time every month, so don’t be like him.”
Brother Li put his hands away, looked at Boss Shen and his wife, then looked at Lin Kun and the two children, and said: "Fat Shen, let me tell you the truth, in our Jianghu in Gissen City, there are no A new king has been elected, and this new king has spoken. The phenomenon of protection fees must never happen again, so you should be more honest when doing business in the future. Don’t try to follow the law from the common people just because you paid protection fees. It was calculated on his body."
"Really, really?" Boss Shen was stunned for a moment, still a little unconvinced.
"I said, Fatty Shen, I really need to beat you up before you can believe it, right?" Brother Li said impatiently.
Fatty Shen quickly said: "No, no, no, Brother Li, you have misunderstood, I believe...but, what is the name of this new king? This is simply for us people..."
Seeing Brother Li suddenly raise his eyebrows, Fatty Shen quickly changed his words and said: "Brother Li, please don't get me wrong. What I mean is that I have admired this kind of king since I was a child. It is seen that I, Fatty Shen, do not have the skills to get around in the world, but I still have a heart for martial arts."
Brother Li sneered and said, "It's okay to tell you, Lin Kun."
"Lin Kun?" Boss Shen and his wife repeated together.
"Okay, I'm leaving. I won't charge you any more protection fees in the future, but if I find out that you, Fatty Shen, are still deceiving your clients, I will cut you off."
"Brother Li, walk slowly." Fatty Shen's wife immediately said with a smile.
Brother Li left in a swaggering manner with his two younger brothers. The two younger brothers followed behind Brother Li and couldn't help but ask: "Boss, we won't charge protection fees in the future, so what are we going to eat?"
Brother Li said: "We have both hands and feet. I have already bought a shop in this town. In the future, the three of us will open a hot pot restaurant. We should not starve to death."
It took Boss Shen and his wife a long time to recover from the joy. Boss Shen grabbed his fat wife's slap and slapped him in the face.
"Old Shen, are you crazy?" the fat wife immediately said unhappily.
Fatty Shen said with a shy smile: "Daughter-in-law, this happiness comes so suddenly. In the past, the monthly protection fee was so small. It was fine when there was business, but when there was no business, I was almost bald." .”
The fat wife rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't make any excuses. Your bald forehead is due to kidney deficiency!"
Boss Shen suddenly looked embarrassed and winked at the fat wife, which meant that someone was there. The fat wife also realized it and immediately looked at Lin Kun and smiled sheepishly.
Lin Kun walked over with a smile, handed over the red banknote, and said: "Boss, pay the bill."
Boss Shen took the money with a smile, and Lin Kun asked the two children to leave.
Boss Shen held a hundred yuan in his hand and was about to kick it into his pocket when the fat wife reached out and pinched his buttocks. Boss Shen immediately hissed in pain and the fat wife whispered in his ear. : "What did Brother Li say just now? Are you still cheating on me?"
Boss Shen immediately reacted and wanted to say something, but felt that he was indeed in the wrong, so he simply shouted to Lin Kun: "Hey, brother, wait a minute..."
