Chapter 110 Why?
Three men came and Hao Mei thought they were here to buy food, so she greeted them warmly.
"What would you like to eat? We have stir-fried vegetables, beer, and dumplings...ah!"
Before Hao Mei could finish her words, the burly man in the lead overturned the table, scaring Hao Mei so much that she screamed.
There are now three small folding tables in Rutang's house, which are filled with workers eating. Just after taking two bites of the meal, the table is overturned.
"What are you doing?" Rutang was collecting money at another table and came over immediately when he heard the noise.
The burly man had a face full of flesh and looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with. When he saw Rutang, his eyes instantly became fierce, and he looked from top to bottom, lingering on her bulging chest for several seconds.
The smoke from selling food was heavy, so Rutang did not wear the red skirt. She changed into a simple plaid shirt, a very dignified style, which covered her tightly. However, it could not block the sight of the obscene people.
"My brother ate dumplings at your house and now he's vomiting and having diarrhea. What do you say we should do?" The sturdy man deliberately raised his voice. The diners eating at the stall immediately started whispering to each other. Some even shouted for a refund. The scene was a bit chaotic.
Hao Mei was both scared and anxious. Yu Yaoyang was not there at the moment, and Hao Mei felt that she and her daughter, two weak women, had no way to deal with these scoundrels. She was so anxious that she couldn't speak and her face turned red.
"Who is your brother? Is he here?" Rutang asked, quickly analyzing the situation in his mind.
Her family has been selling food here for such a long time and everything has been peaceful, but as soon as Yu Yaoyang is not around, someone comes to cause trouble. She must have been targeted for a long time.
The most taboo in the catering industry is unclean ingredients. Before, Chen Guilan wanted to find fault by saying that the ingredients were unclean, so Rutang paid more attention to quality control after that.
"My brother is still in the hospital, vomiting and having diarrhea! You either pay me money or..." The sturdy man licked his lips and smiled maliciously at Ru Tang, "or go out with your brother for a drink alone."
Going out alone, what does that mean? You can imagine it won't be a good thing.
"You can't go!" Hao Mei was so anxious that she didn't care about being afraid anymore. She slid her wheelchair up to argue, but was pushed away by the man behind the burly man.
"Don't touch my mother!" Rutang said in a deep voice.
"Wow, it's quite spicy!" The sturdy man smiled even more obscenely, "I like this kind of chili!"
The three men laughed together.
The diners all spoke up: "Madam Boss, we eat at your house every day, are you guys really having problems?"
"Everyone, listen to me first. If there is any problem with the food in our house, we will definitely take responsibility. You have been eating for so many days, and nothing has happened, right?"
Rutang spoke up to control the situation. She knew that if she couldn't control the situation well, things would become out of control.
"When did your brother eat my dumplings? Where is he now and how is he doing?" Rutang asked the strong man.
"You were the one who sold him what we ate yesterday. My brother even said that you were always flirting with him with your eyes." The burly man deliberately threw dirty water on Rutang.
Rutang felt relieved after hearing this.
"My husband and I were in the provincial capital yesterday to buy supplies. We were not in City D at all. Did you remember it wrongly? Did your brother eat at someone else's house?"
As soon as she said this, some diners remembered it immediately.
"Yes, the boss lady wasn't here yesterday. Her mother and another fat boy were there. The fat boy made a mistake when calculating the bill and gave me 10 cents more. I gave it back to him, and he even gave me an extra stack of dumplings. I remember that!"
Someone testified that the flesh on the sturdy man's face trembled, and he immediately glared at the person who spoke. The worker who testified did not dare to speak anymore and lowered his head to eat.
"Then I remembered it wrong. He ate it the day before yesterday. Anyway, he is in the hospital now. If you don't want to get into trouble, just pay the money quickly!" The strong man was obviously unreasonable.
"You ate it the day before yesterday, and you were hospitalized today? Isn't this a bit of time? Besides, our family has sold so many copies. If something goes wrong, many people will definitely be in trouble. It can't be just him." Ru Tang was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not frightened by the other party's momentum at all.
Seeing that he couldn't scare her, the sturdy man took a step forward and was about to overturn another table. However, Rutang was faster than him. She picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and chopped at the corner of the table.
The sturdy man didn't expect that such a weak woman could be so fierce when she got angry. Rutang's kitchen knife was less than a palm's distance away from the sturdy man's hand. If the sturdy man moved forward a little more, he would have chopped him.
"We are open for business and we run an upright business. You are all welcome to come for dinner. But if you think my mother and I are easy to bully and spread rumors and slander us, I am not afraid of you!" Ru Tang raised her voice and pulled out the kitchen knife with force.
The sturdy man was frightened by her fearless aura and took a step back, but he quickly came to his senses.
"You bitch, you want to play hard to us, right? Don't you want to drink the wine for punishment? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"
Hao Mei was so scared that her legs went limp, but she still wanted to protect her daughter. She wanted to come over to stand in front of her daughter, but she was pinned down by the two thugs brought by the strong man, and couldn't move.
"Hit me! Just try to touch even a strand of my hair! I don't believe that a society ruled by law can't discipline you guys, right?! We make money cleanly, and you are jealous and come to our door to cause trouble. How dare you, a grown man, live like a coward!"
Rutang felt a surge of anger in his heart. He picked up a kitchen knife to protect his chest, his eyes full of sharpness.
Her mother was behind her, so even if she was afraid she could not retreat, let alone give in to these people. If she gave in once and let these people taste the sweetness, they would come to her every now and then.
Although the strong man didn't expect Rutang to dare to resist, after a brief shock, he still had a fluke mentality. He thought that Rutang was a woman and would not dare to do anything to him, so he stepped forward and said in a vulgar tone: "If you have the guts, chop me. I don't believe you, a woman, dare to touch me!"
As he spoke, he moved forward, with his head leaning forward in a lewd manner, as if he was sure that Rutang would not dare to actually use the knife.
Rutang picked up the ladle without hesitation, scooped a ladle of boiling dumpling soup from the pot in a flash, and poured it at the strong man.
The sturdy man tried to cheat by sticking his head forward, but was unexpectedly splashed with Rutang's dumpling soup.
Rutang avoided his face and splashed his legs.
The strong man yelled and jumped up because of the heat.
Fortunately, this dumpling soup has been turned off the heat and left to cool for a while. If it was a freshly boiled dumpling soup, the meat would have burst after taking a scoop of it.
Rutang was not satisfied after pouring one bucket of water on the men, so she scooped up another bucket and poured it on the two accomplices. The three men screamed and ran away in fear.
Ru Tang grabbed a ladle and a kitchen knife and chased after them for a few steps, shouting at the three cowards’ backs, “Come again if you dare! I’ll chop you up as many times as you want, come on if you’re not afraid of death!”
The three scoundrels didn't even dare to turn their heads back. They were afraid of meeting such a fearless and tough guy.
After beating the hooligans away, Rutang returned to the stall. The diners applauded and praised the proprietress for her courage.
"I'm sorry to trouble you all. I'll give you a discount on today's meal." Rutang said generously to everyone. He turned around and tears of grievance fell where no one could see.
Why? Why?
