Chapter 2006: Encountering a Hooligan

Today Su Maiqing went out to set up the stall as usual.

Everything went smoothly in the morning, just like usual, business was average but going well.

That afternoon, a few people suddenly came to the street where they had set up their stall and said they wanted to collect stall fees.

She has been running the stall for so long and has never heard of anyone asking for stall fees.

Obviously, no one else believed it either.

Maybe because she was the youngest and the most outstanding looking, she was targeted first.

Of course she couldn't ask for some stall fee for no reason, so she started arguing with them.

But those people didn't listen to her reasoning at all and just took her things and snatched her bag.

Not only that, he grabbed her arm and said that if he took her back to see the person in charge, she would believe it.

Su Maiqing had long been frightened by the hooligan behavior of these people, and did not believe that they were regular public officials.

When he saw the way these people were looking at him, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't care about his things or money and struggled to run away.

Then he fell while running and hurt his knee.

This was the first time she had encountered such a thing, so she didn't know what to do.

㰴I thought of keeping it a secret for now. Tomorrow is the weekend and Sister Qiao Qiao will be at home, so I can ask her.

Ever since his sister got into trouble last time, Su Maiqing realized that when something happens, you have to find someone capable of handling the matter.

I just didn’t expect my sister to find out.

After hearing this, Su Suihua felt a surge of fear and her face turned pale as she hugged her sister.

Then he scolded her in a trembling voice.

"Are you stupid? If they want you to give it to them, then give it to them. Why are you, a girl, fighting with a bunch of big, strong men? In the end, you will be the one who suffers."

Su Maiqing sniffed, wiped away her tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "I just can't accept it. We worked so hard to make those things, and they just asked for money, 10 yuan each time. What's so expensive about the booth fee? It must be a scam."

Ruoqiao frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It can't be a booth fee. If they really wanted to charge a booth fee, they would have issued an official document first. And it's impossible for it to be 10 yuan at once. Based on your description, they should be some thugs collecting protection money."

The two sisters were stunned and asked in confusion, "Protection money? What kind of protection is this? And what are you protecting? Is there anyone more dangerous than them?"

Ruoqiao was helpless and explained to them in detail, "Of course I'm not protecting you. I won't touch you if you pay me. Of course, this thing is a bottomless pit. Once it happens, there will be a second time. It will never end."

Su Suihua frowned and said angrily, "Isn't this illegal? Can we report it to the police?"

Ruoqiao nodded, "Okay, but if you don't kill the snake, you'll end up hurting it. Even if you report this to the police, they'll only detain you for ten days or half a month at most, and you might even get more severe retaliation later."

The two sisters looked at each other, and Su Suihua hugged her sister tightly, "Then, then you won't report it?"

"Report it, of course. Just make sure they don't dare to retaliate. Let me handle this matter. We need to first see if this is a temporary group or an organized crime."

Su Suihua was puzzled, "Is there any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference. If they are just temporary, then they are just some unpresentable scoundrels, and they are easy to deal with. If they are an organization... have you heard of the mafia?"

The two sisters' eyes widened and they nodded in unison.

Su Suihua was shocked, "You suspect it's a gang? But how could there be a gang here? And how dare they come out so blatantly? Aren't they afraid of being caught?"

Ruoqiao sighed and didn't give them any further explanation, "We have to check first to find out."

Why did the market undergo strict adjustments in 1980? A large part of the reason was due to the underworld.

Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, many educated youth have returned to the city.

Most of these educated youth became unemployed, but some of them were intellectuals who could use their brains to a certain extent, so they were not so easy to settle down.

It just happened to coincide with the reform and opening up, so those who couldn't follow the right path started to take the wrong path.
