Chapter 30 This man was not saved in vain

The seven or eight thugs who came with Wu Xin immediately started to overturn the stall and smash things. Chunzhi couldn't resist them alone, and watched as the whole basket of tofu was smashed to the ground by them...

At this moment, a crutch suddenly flew over and hit Wu Xin right on the ground, knocking him and several thugs to the ground.

Chunzhi quickly pressed down the tofu basket, looked back, and saw Huo Zheng appear in front of her.

She suddenly felt extremely grateful that Huo Qi was there.

It was a close call, the tofu was almost smashed to pieces.

Wu Xin covered his chest with one hand and asked angrily, "Who? Who is hiding in the dark and beating up your Grandpa Wu? If you have the guts, come out here..."

Huo Zheng walked out slowly with his other crutch, and gave Wu Xin another crutch, pinning him to the ground with it. "I'm standing right here. What do you think?"

Wu Xin wanted to get up and fight back, but the wooden crutch in the man's hand seemed to have a tremendous force, pressing him so hard that he couldn't move, let alone get up.

Huo Zheng looked down at him condescendingly.

Wu Xin was like a fat pig on a butcher's stool. He was extremely panicked and shouted loudly, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and teach this cripple a lesson!"

The thugs who were traveling with them relied on their numbers and saw that Huo Zheng was a disabled person who had difficulty walking, so seven or eight of them rubbed their hands and rushed forward together.

Huo Zheng slowly picked up his crutch and stepped on Wu Xin's head. Without saying a word, he knocked down all seven or eight thugs.

A group of people were lying on the ground in a mess, crying out in pain.

The guests who were originally scared away couldn't help but shout "good!" when they saw this scene.

Wu Xin didn't expect that Chunzhi's disabled husband was actually a martial artist. He brought so many people with him but didn't get any advantage at all.

Chunzhi stepped forward, picked up the fallen crutch and handed it to Huo Qi.

Huo Zheng took the cane and held it in his hand. Before he could do anything, the thugs threw their heads in their hands and begged for mercy, repeatedly shouting, "Hero, spare our lives! We won't dare to do it again!"

"It was Wu Xin who asked us to come! He said that this tofu workshop was left to him by his mother, and as long as we can get it back, he will sell it for silver, and we will all get a share of the money!"

"I... I'm just here to make up the numbers. When they started smashing things just now, I didn't move a thing!"

These thugs usually rely on their numbers to bully others, but now when they meet a tough guy, they can't wait to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.

Seeing this, Wu Xin almost vomited blood.

Huo Zheng said to Chunzhi, "Report to the police?"

Chunzhi nodded and said, "I'll go to the county and report it to the police right away!"

Wu Xin shouted, "I'll report it to the authorities if I want. This tofu workshop is mine. You've illegally occupied it. Even if I report it to the authorities, you have to return it to me!"

Wu Xin relied on the support of others and became even more arrogant even after being injured.

The daughter of the prime minister and the wife of the top scholar could not help but say that Chunzhi did not have any house deeds or land deeds at all, so even if she reported the matter to the authorities, she would not get any benefit at all.

The thugs who came with him didn't know what Wu Xin was so arrogant about, "Stop talking now, or he'll beat you up again."

Wu Xin suddenly: "..."

"Today's matter has nothing to do with me. We'll take our leave first."

The thug turned and walked away after saying this.

"Wait." Huo Zheng's voice was indifferent.

A group of hooligans who were about to escape heard this and felt a chill on their backs. They stopped immediately, then turned around slowly with a bitter face, "Do you have any other instructions?"

Huo Zheng said, "Compensate for the damaged items according to their price."

"Right." Chunzhi immediately agreed, "You guys broke my door, you have to pay for it!"

A few hooligans looked at each other, took out all the small change and copper coins on their bodies, and put them on the table, "Here is all the money we have..."

Huo Zheng said nothing and gave Wu Xin a cold look.

Several thugs immediately surrounded Wu Xin and searched him from head to toe, taking out all the money he had on him, not even the last copper coin, and placed them all on the table. "It's all here."

Wu Xin was so angry that he yelled, "We are here to fight for the house, not to be dogs!"

Upon hearing this, several thugs immediately covered Wu Xin's mouth and said, "Don't you think we haven't been beaten badly enough?"

"Just shut up!"

The thugs, wishing they could sew Wu Xin's mouth shut, nodded and bowed to Huo Zheng and Chunzhi, saying, "Can we leave now?"

Huo Zheng said coldly: "Get lost."

"Let's get out of here, get out of here!"

The thugs just left when they were told to.

Even Wu Xin ran out after them. Once outside, he started yelling, "You two, just wait! I'm going to report this to the authorities. Whether you like it or not, you have to return this house to me!"

Huo Zheng pretended to hit him with his cane.

Wu Xin's back stiffened and he immediately ran out the door.

The customers who came to buy tofu watched the fun and, seeing how capable Chunzhi's husband was, they all began to praise him.

Huo Zheng's face was expressionless. Chunzhi smiled and thanked everyone for the compliments. She turned to him and said, "If you're not used to being praised, go inside first."

Huo Zheng said "hmm" and turned to walk inside.

After taking two steps, he turned back to Chunzhi and said, "If you run into trouble again, just call me."

Chunzhi smiled and said "Okay".

This man was not saved in vain.

It is still very useful at critical moments.

Huo Zheng then continued to walk into the house.

The customers who bought tofu all praised Chunzhi for her good taste in choosing such a useful husband.

He was walking with a cane, but he was able to beat off seven or eight thugs.

While Chunzhi was weighing tofu and making tofu bags for them, she said, "It was raining heavily a few days ago, and he accidentally fell and injured his leg. He's using a cane temporarily, but he'll be fine in a few days."

She explained to everyone that Huo Qi was not disabled.

When they got married, the neighbors all thought that Chunzhi was forced by the government and had no choice but to find a disabled man to marry.

Some people also said that Huo Qi was good-looking, but it was a pity that he was disabled.

Chunzhi didn't care about it at first and didn't explain too much to anyone.

But when everyone said this today, she couldn't help but explain.

She herself couldn't explain why she did this.

Originally, there weren't that many people coming to the door to sell tofu, but after Wu Xin and his men made such a fuss, more people came to watch the fun and buy some tofu to take home.

People came to buy tofu one after another throughout the morning. Chunzhi only made one basket of tofu today, and it was sold out very quickly.

She prepared to make a second basket.

While grinding the beans, Huo Zheng walked over to Chunzhi on crutches and asked her, "Didn't you say you were going to report to the police?"

Chunzhi said, "I'm just trying to scare Wu Xin. I only make a few copper coins a day selling tofu. If I go to the county government office once, all my work this year will be in vain."

Huo Zheng asked, "Then how are you going to deal with them next time they come looking for trouble?"

Chunzhi was grinding the beans round and round. When she heard him say this, she stopped, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and said with a smile, "Aren't you here with me?"
