Zhang Pengfei's enthusiasm was extinguished, and he followed Xie Qingxiao and asked, "No, why did you hit my brother?"
"Um."
Zhang Pengfei frowned: "Did something happen?"
He is not stupid. Yesterday he asked Brother Xie why his family did not come back. He noticed something strange from the looks of Xie's father and mother.
It can't be because of him, right?
"It's none of your business."
Zhang Pengfei nodded.
It’s good that it’s not about him. Mr. and Mrs. Xie have been good to him, and he doesn’t want to cause any rift between Mr. and Mrs. Xie and their biological son because of him.
Without a mirror, Xie Qingxiao couldn't see the wound on his face, so he asked Zhang Pengfei to describe it to him.
Zhang Pengfei said there was a scratch as long as a little finger, and some blood seeped out.
Xie Qingxiao frowned, took the ointment and asked Zhang Pengfei to apply it on him.
"Brother Xiao, you have become squeamish now," Zhang Pengfei mocked Xie Qingxiao, "You didn't even take this wound seriously before, but now you need to apply medicine."
Xie Qingxiao said succinctly: "Your sister-in-law will be worried."
Understood!
Zhang Pengfei clicked his tongue a few times.
"Aren't you taking a rest today? Why are you back?" Xie Qingxiao remembered.
"Oh, I wanted to look for you," Zhang Pengfei finally remembered his business, his eyebrows and eyes slightly solemn: "Er Laizi said that four or five people from the neighboring county came to us yesterday and said that they wanted to buy braised food from us to sell."
“Good.”
Zhang Pengfei hesitated.
Xie Qingxiao noticed: "What?"
Zhang Pengfei: "But Brother Long's people are bothering us again! They wanted to copy our braised food, but failed. Customers still prefer our braised food. They were not happy because they couldn't sell it. They beat up several people who bought from us and forbade them to buy braised food from us and sell it. If they want to sell it, they have to pay protection fees."
Xie Qingxiao frowned.
The Long Brother Long that Zhang Pengfei mentioned, Long Fei, was one of the earliest people doing business in the neighboring county of Chenchong. As more and more people were doing business there, Long Fei, as a senior, accumulated a certain reputation and had a group of followers.
Xie Qingxiao's braised food became very popular after being tried out in Chenchong County. More and more people bought braised food from them to sell, which to some extent impacted the business of Long Fei and his gang.
Long Fei's gang often made things difficult for the people on their side.
Before it was just a drive away, but now it has escalated to beating people.
Xie Qingxiao's brows darkened.
"Brother Xiao, should we take some people to defeat them?" Zhang Pengfei asked. When he said this, he was full of banditry and violence.
Xie Qingxiao looked up at him.
Zhang Pengfei paused, then quickly stood up straight.
Bah, what is he talking about?
The current Brother Xiao is no longer the same Brother Xiao as before. In the past, if Brother Xiao disliked someone, he would bring his brothers to settle the score with that person.
But now, he has to apply medicine on such a small scar for fear that his sister-in-law will worry... He probably won't bring anyone to cause trouble.
Sure enough, Xie Qingxiao looked at him disapprovingly: "We are civilized people now, so we should try to speak and act in a civilized way. If the civilized way can't be used, then talk about other things."
After hearing the latter sentence, Zhang Pengfei felt relieved.
He said that his brother Xiao's temper had been restrained, but his nature was still there. How could it be changed so easily?
It's just that it hasn't touched his bottom line yet.
Zhang Pengfei smiled awkwardly and said, "How do we solve this problem now?"
Xie Qingxiao stood up, patted Zhang Pengfei on the shoulder, and walked out with big strides: "Let's go to Chenchong County."
"Ah? Are we just the two of us going?" Zhang Pengfei was stunned for a moment and hurriedly chased after them.
"Um!"
Zhang Pengfei!!!
Wouldn't it be like entering a tiger's den for two people to go there? If a conflict occurred, would they be able to win?
"Are we just the two of us going?" Zhang Pengfei asked for confirmation.
"Didn't we say that we should solve the problem in a civilized way? Aren't two people enough?" Xie Qingxiao asked impatiently.
Zhang Pengfei shut up, followed Xie Qingxiao out of the door obediently, and locked the shop door.
"Don't worry, I won't let your wife become a widow!" Xie Qingxiao got on the bicycle, raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Pengfei lightly.
Zhang Pengfei: “…” If you can’t speak, then just don’t speak, okay?
In the end, Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei went straight to Chen Chong County and came to Long Fei's home.
This is a house that looks quite grand, and there are two young men guarding the door.
Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei looked at the situation and felt that the current situation was indeed much more open. If it were a few years ago, Long Fei and others would probably have been sent to the farm for reform.
"Who are you looking for?" The two younger brothers guarding the door came over to question and drive them away with unfriendly faces when they saw Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei: "Go away, this is not the place for you to come."
Zhang Pengfei was timid in front of Xie Qingxiao, but he was no longer timid in front of his opponent.
Seeing the other party's bad attitude, he immediately frowned and said, "How dare anyone be so arrogant? Where is Long Fei? Call Long Fei out."
The younger brother saw his aggressive posture and took a look at their clothes. He found that although their clothes were ordinary, they had an extraordinary aura.
His expression eased a lot: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Xie Qingxiao gave his full name: "Xie Qingxiao."
"Xie Qingxiao?" The younger brother's face changed.
Although he had never seen Xie Qingxiao, he was not unfamiliar with Xie Qingxiao's name. Xie Qingxiao had taken away a lot of their business, and they all hated him.
"Are you Xie Qingxiao?" The younger brother looked at Xie Qingxiao angrily.
Xie Qingxiao: “Yeah.”
"How dare you come? And you only brought one person with you? Do you think you are very confident? Come on, come on, fight with me--ah!"
He reached out to push Xie Qingxiao, but Xie Qingxiao grabbed his wrist and twisted it.
“Ah!” He screamed in agony, “It hurts, it hurts, let me go! Someone, Xie Qingxiao is here, he’s causing trouble! Help, Brother Long, come and save me!”
Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei: “…” Idiot.
The younger brother who was originally guarding the door with him saw that the situation was not right, and immediately rushed in to call for help.
After a while, there was a noisy sound from inside, and a group of people came out surrounded by their boss.
"There, there," the younger brother who just rushed in pointed in the direction of Xie Qingxiao and the others and said to the man in the lead.
The man who turned around was in his early 40s, wearing a hat, with a thin body, and a pair of hawk-like eyes that were very sharp, shooting straight at Xie Qingxiao: "Xie Qingxiao?"
Xie Qingxiao: "Long Fei."
Long Fei: "You really dare to come!"
"Why don't you dare to come?" Xie Qingxiao slowly let go of the younger brother.
Long Fei, who originally thought that he would take his younger brother as a hostage, said: "..."
He glanced behind Xie Qingxiao and found that in addition to his arrogant attitude, he only brought one person with him.
Was it because she was too confident or because she didn't take him seriously?
