Unhappy added, "You can just say it directly, don't scare my brother. We didn't do anything. Although we came here to cause trouble, there won't be any serious consequences."

Lin Minjun got off the tricycle and asked frankly, "I just want to know who ordered you to do this. You don't have to say that there was no one. Your brother has already admitted it just now."

She smiled again, "Besides, we don't have any deep hatred. He just ate so many of my fried potatoes. Can't you let me know who is secretly plotting against me?"

When she said this, Lin Minjun actually had someone in mind as a candidate. She thought it was Shen Hongyu or Dama, because she had only had conflicts with these two people recently.

He hesitated for a long time, looked at his silly brother who had already started eating potatoes quickly, and finally said, "Cao Bin, he asked us to come here."

Cao Bin? A filthy scoundrel from a wealthy family?

He couldn't get over the anger he felt two days ago, so he found these two punks to cause trouble for him, right?

It was clearly their family that did something wrong, yet you still have the nerve to find fault with them?

Lin Minjun was actually very angry in her heart, but she didn't show it. At this moment, she noticed that the things on her tricycle were about to fall off. This was because she had just been in a hurry to trick No-headed and Unhappy away, so she only packed them up roughly, and now the things were shaking and about to fall off.

While cleaning up, Lin Minjun asked again, "He asked you to spread the word that my food is not tasty? He wants me to lose business?"

Unhappy and hesitant, he said, "He told us to tell others that your food is dirty, inedible, and not tasty. It would be best if everyone started a fight in front of your stall and smashed your food."

Seeing Lin Minjun taking deep breaths, and seeing that she was alone and thin, he said unhappily, "I advise you not to confront Cao Bin head-on. You can't beat him."

The fried potatoes were really delicious, especially the original flavor. At this time, the headless man standing next to him ate all the fried potatoes, feeling very satisfied. He said sincerely, "Cao Bin is the leader of this area."

Lin Minjun felt it was very confusing and unreasonable.

"It's not me who wants to fight him, it's him who comes to fight me! He made a mistake and embarrassed himself, and he blames me for it."

They come one by one to pick a fight with her. Do they think she is an easy target and want to bully her?

She took a deep breath. "If you run into him again, tell Cao Bin for me that if he asks around, he'll know that the cause of the incident was his mother and his entire family. I just want to seek justice for Erwa and don't want to have a conflict with anyone. If he knows he was wrong, don't make things difficult for me in the future. If he still thinks I was wrong..."

At this point, Lin Minjun slowly picked up a kitchen knife and wiped it with a rag. A flash of cold light flashed across her face. She then added, "I am an orphan who came to the capital from the border. I have nothing and I am not afraid of anything. I just want to live like a human being. If he tries to force me again, we will fight openly and see who can beat who!"

"Do you two remember what I said? Go back and tell him." Lin Minjun said.

The two hooligans were frightened by the bravery in her eyes, and when they saw the kitchen knife in Lin Minjun's hand, they nodded at once. They didn't dare to make a sound and quickly slipped out along the wall.

After exiting the alley, Wu Lu Lu wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned to tell his brother, "Brother, I think she is a little scary."

I was unhappy and didn't say anything, but at this moment I was also glad in my heart that I didn't really irritate her. She is simply a tigress.

The headless man shrank his neck and said, "Where are we going now? I think we should just go home."

"You can't go home yet. Didn't Cao Bin tell us before that we should go find him after we finish our work? You can come with me to find him and talk to him before going home." He said unhappily.

Unhappy, he looked around, found the right direction, and left with his brother to find Cao Bin.

They were both frightened at first and no one noticed. After they left, Lin Minjun found a secluded place, locked the tricycle, and followed them.

She just wanted to see what Cao Bin would say to these two people.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two hooligans entered another alley near Yueya Hutong. Lin Minjun followed behind and saw a man standing at the end of the alley with his back to the alley entrance, a cigarette in his mouth, and one hand leaning against the wall, thinking he looked very handsome.

Seeing that they didn't notice her, Lin Minjun hid at the entrance of the alley and listened to what was happening inside.

"Is it done?" Cao Bin took a deep breath, threw away the cigarette butt, turned around and looked at the two hooligans, "Zhou Ran, how is it going?"

He was asking about the two brothers who were unhappy. The elder brother was named Zhou Ran and the younger brother was named Zhou Yong.

"This...we."

"Don't talk about this and that. Just tell me whether you are a man or not." Cao Bin said impatiently.

Seeing that Zhou Ran still didn't say anything, he also knew that Zhou Yong was a little stupid, so he asked Zhou Yong again, "What's the situation over there?"

Zhou Yong shook his head and spoke out, "We did what you said and went to find fault. We also told many people that their food was terrible. But I don't know why, but everyone became curious about her food. We bought everything one by one."

So, instead of finding fault, you ended up bringing them business?

"What happened to you two? You messed up such a small thing?" Cao Bin yelled, and then pointed at Zhou Yong and yelled, "Did you mess it up? You have no brains! I shouldn't have let you go. You're just holding us back."

He started swearing right away.

Zhou Yong didn't understand what was going on. Why did the boss suddenly get angry? He stood there with his eyes wide open, not reacting for a long time.

He was still wearing those ridiculous sunglasses, and his eyes were wide open. Cao Bin felt that he deserved to be scolded. "Why are you staring at me? Am I wrong? Do you have any brains? Can't you handle such a small matter?"

"Okay, Cao Bin, we've done the job. Even if it hadn't been done, you can't scold my brother like that." As he said this, Zhou Ran stood in front of his brother with a cold expression.

Zhou Ran was protective and took his brother with him wherever he went, so Cao Bin stopped talking. He took out another cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and the smoke swirled out of his mouth. "Let's put it this way. You can't let this go on. Go again tomorrow. I can't stand this woman."

"No." Zhou Ran said the next second.

Cao Bin: “What?”

"I said we won't go." Zhou Ran said, taking off the ridiculous sunglasses on his brother's head and throwing them on the ground, then pulling him away.

Before he had taken a few steps, Cao Bin called him. He walked over and tore Zhou Ran's collar. "Hey, what do you mean? You went there and didn't get anything done. Instead, you were brainwashed by the enemy's sugar-coated bullets, right? Just now, you were squatting on the side of the road eating mouthful after mouthful. Did you think I didn't see it? I was standing not far away and saw everything."

"You dare to hit my brother?" Zhou Yong punched him and pushed Cao Bin away.

These two brothers, one has a sharp brain and the other has strong fists. Cao Bin really doesn't dare to confront them head-on.

He raised his hands, with a smile that looked like he was asking for a beating, "Okay, I thought you two were some great guys, but this is what happened. You're not sure at all."

Zhou Ran had already walked a few steps, but when he heard this, he turned around and said, "Don't put accusations on us. This is not the same as it was ten years ago, and we are not your simple-minded little Red Army soldiers. You are such a boring person. You tricked us into going over to pick a fight. In fact, it is not what you said. You have a personal grudge against them, right?"

Without waiting for Cao Bin to say anything, he said, "I've already seen it. Their stall is very clean. They are not the kind of black-hearted vendors. Their food is also delicious. You use us as pawns. We can no longer be brothers. Get out of here."

Pulling the silly younger brother, the two brothers came out of the alley.

After coming out, Zhou Ran found a clothing store. When he went in, he was still wearing bell-bottom pants, but when he came out, he was wearing normal pants. Then he took his brother to the barber shop. After these two trips, the brothers went from being gangsters to being very energetic guys on the street, full of life.

On the way back, Zhou Yong was a little depressed and asked his brother, "Will we not be involved in society in the future?"

"What a waste of time." Zhou Ran spat.

Zhou Yong was a little scared. "You scolded Cao Bin just now, is that okay? Isn't he the leader of our generation?"

"That was in the past, before the hats were removed. Now, regardless of class background, he means nothing. I'm telling you, this guy is boring. Don't bother with him if you see him next time."

Zhou Yong thought for a long time and said, "Okay, but I think he will go to that stall to cause trouble again."

Zhou Yong was right this time.

After the two brothers left, Cao Bin stayed alone in the alley for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly kicked the wall and said, "What is this? Did you get brainwashed when you went out?"

He felt angry and ridiculous at the same time, "This is only happening now. If it was ten years ago, I would have beaten you to the point of no return."

Whenever Cao Bin thought about how he had lost face by being beaten up by his parents at the last assembly, he felt unspeakable.

After thinking about it, he said to himself, "No, I still have to teach her a lesson, otherwise she will get on my nerves." After saying that, he continued thinking and walked out of the alley.

Lin Minjun left after everyone had left. She was increasingly curious about what other tricks Cao Bin had up his sleeve. She waited to see.

At worst, we can just fight openly and see who can win.

As for Cao Bin, he couldn't get over this humiliation and on the way home he was thinking about how to deal with Lin Minjun. It would be best if he could defeat her in one go and make it impossible for her to survive in the capital.

But what he is best at is fighting people and putting accusations on people. He really has no tricks up his sleeve. He has been thinking for a long time but has not come up with any solution. He is so angry and frustrated.

But when passing a small street, Cao Bin slowly stopped and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

There seems to be a dispute over a stall. What is this?

"Comrade, do you remember me?"

"Who are you?"

"I just bought a bunch of candied haws from you."

The vendor exhaled white air from his mouth, "I remembered it, what's the matter? Do you want another one?"

Unexpectedly, the man turned hostile and threw a half-eaten string of Tanghulu at the vendor, pointing at him and angrily saying, "Bah, you want another string? Look at this Tanghulu yourself. There are maggots in the half that was bitten open. If I hadn't seen it, the child would have eaten it. This is food for children. How dare you be so cruel?"

"That's impossible. How could there be maggots inside?" The vendor was also shocked. He was also afraid that this matter would become a big deal, so he quickly said, "Don't make a fuss. Can I change it for you, or two?"

Well, for this kind of food for children, hygiene is the most important concern. Who would dare to feed their children this kind of candied haws with maggots on it?

The customer yelled, "Why are you still asking for another string? Your food is infested with maggots. Can you feed it to your children? Come and see, this person is selling candied haws with maggots. Come and see, my child almost ate it. Don't buy anything from this person!"

Hearing the sound, not only passers-by but also vendors nearby came over. When they saw the red hawthorn fruit, they found that it was indeed not clean. Some people immediately started to vomit. "No, let's go find the police. He is too wicked. We can't let him sell food anymore. Let's learn from this lesson and don't buy anything from him in the future."

In just a few minutes, the Tanghulu stall was smashed down. Do you still want to use Tanghulu to seal the deal? Forget it!

After seeing the vendor being pinned to the ground, Cao Bin lost interest in observing anymore. He withdrew his gaze and continued to walk down lazily.

But halfway through the walk, he slapped his head!

"Why didn't I think of that!"

Because of what happened just now, he immediately had a plan to deal with Lin Minjun!

No matter when, the first thing people pay attention to is the hygiene of food. He can also make a fuss about this!

Cao Bin walked quickly into Yueya Hutong. When he entered, he glanced at the back house, then continued humming a song as he went to the second courtyard.

The moon was high in the sky, it was time for dinner, every household was cooking, and the air was filled with the smell of smoke.

As soon as I entered the door, a lady came up to me and asked, "Son, what are we going to eat today? I'll wait for you to come back and cook for you based on what you want to eat."

Cao Bin was thinking about his plan to deal with Lin Minjun the whole time, so he didn't have the time to think about what to eat. He just said, "Dead rat."

"What? You want to eat a dead mouse?!" The mother was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground. She raised her voice and said, "Son, where did you see this dish? You can't eat mice. They are a pest!"

Cao Bin came back to his senses and glared at the old lady, "What are you yelling about? Are you afraid that others can't hear you? I said something wrong. Is there any meat left for the New Year? I want to do something big. Just make some meat for me to replenish my energy."

"There's still some meat at home. I'll cut it up and stew it with cabbage. It's so delicious with pork and cabbage and some vermicelli." The mother went into the kitchen and saw her son following her in. She asked, "But you just said you were going to do something big. What is it? Have you found a good job, son?"

When people reach middle age, what they worry about is their son's marriage and work. These are two huge stones weighing on a mother's heart.

Speaking of work, Cao Bin touched his nose, but then an idea popped up in his mind.

According to his observation, although Lin Minjun's small stall may not look down on you, it has people coming and going every day and can make a lot of money.

Anyway, fried potatoes are simple and easy to make, and potatoes are cheap. Even if I can’t make it taste like Lin Minjun’s, I can still make it taste good by mixing it with some chili powder, right?

If he could make Lin Minjun unable to make it in the capital, wouldn't he be able to let his mother go over there and set up a stall? She could also sell fried potatoes, which would provide an extra income for the family and also save his mother from having to keep an eye on him and ask him about his work every day, which was really annoying.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Cao Bin became even more excited. He approached the mother and whispered, "Mom, can you get me a dead mouse?"

With a clang, the shovel in the mother's hand fell directly. She was very dumbfounded, "Child, what's wrong with you? Why are you obsessed with dead mice? That thing is really not edible."

"Who said I was going to eat it? I'm using it to deal with people." Cao Bin was speechless, and then he said, "I can see that as long as Lin Minjun stays in this yard, our family will not be able to live in peace. I don't like her. Find me a dead rat. I'll make her stall closed and send her back to Yunnan."

"This is not good. She is just a little girl. You shouldn't be so cruel." After all, the mother has her own children and still retains some humanity. She thinks that this should not be done. "The last incident is in the past. If you keep holding on to it, it will make our family look petty."

Cao Bin disagreed, "You mean I'm petty? Am I not thinking about our family?"

"Think about it, anyone can do her business now. If you drive her away, you can take over the place. Maybe you can even buy her tools at a lower price. It will be another way for our family to make money, and you can help me marry a good wife, right?" Cao Bin said again.

This hit the mother's soft spot, "Is it okay? Just a dead mouse will do?"

"You still don't believe me?" Cao Bin asked back.

Seeing that my mother was getting loose, Cao Bin took the shovel and shoveled it twice perfunctorily, then hurried my mother out, "Go quickly, go anywhere and find the dead rat for me, and be quick."

After brainwashing Cao Bin, she thought that she could get married if she made money, and she could have a big grandson. The mother agreed, and before she left, she did not forget to tell him, "Stir the food more diligently, don't burn it."

So, she didn't even have time to make dinner, and she was already rushing to find a dead mouse for her son.

"Dead rat, dead rat, how can it be that easy to find?" The eldest lady muttered as she walked out of the Chuihua Gate. Suddenly, someone said, "Auntie, are you planning to go out?"

The mother looked up and said, "Hey, Xiaolin, you just came back?"

The person standing in front of the lady was Lin Minjun.

She followed Cao Bin into the house. She had just locked her tricycle outside and arranged her business tools. As soon as she entered the house, she saw an old lady. She suddenly had an idea and thought that she could first learn more about the situation from the old lady.

After all, they are neighbors. Even though what happened last time was ugly, life still has to go on. The mother's mind is full of the three words "dead rat". When she thought of her own son still planning to force the little girl to go back to Yunnan, she suddenly felt very guilty and didn't even have the courage to look Lin Minjun in the eye.

"Well, I just walked into the house." Lin Minjun found it more and more interesting, and asked calmly: "Isn't it time for dinner? What are you doing outside?"

As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, like the phoenix gives birth to a phoenix; a mouse's son will dig holes. When Cao Bin was asked about this, he blurted out "dead mouse". The old woman never thought before she spoke, and now she felt so guilty that she certainly didn't think at all.

Her words were smoother than butter, and every time she opened her mouth, she would say, "Looking for a dead rat."

"Oh, bah, no, I went out to get a pot of soy sauce. All the beans at home were eaten by mice, so I had no choice but to go out to buy soy sauce. I will kill these mice sooner or later." The mother hurriedly explained to herself.

As she said this, she called out to Lin Minjun, "You go home and do your work first, Xiaolin. I'm on my way to buy some soy sauce." Before she finished her words, she hurried out the door.

Lin Minjun's eyes followed the eldest mother until she walked out of the door and then she smiled.

Dead rat? Was Cao Bin planning to use the dead rat against himself?

The mother reacted quickly and made up for it immediately, but didn’t she notice the loophole in her words?

This isn't a few decades later. Who would buy soy sauce without a bottle? Is she planning to get the soy sauce back with her mouth?

When a person is guileless, he will not think what he says. If a grown woman does not think, she will expose the truth.

Lin Minjun understood instantly that the mother and son were definitely up to no good and were planning to make something of the dead mouse.

But when she entered the door, she smiled again. She was not afraid at all, but instead felt a little braver.

When she was reborn, she was just like in her previous life, afraid that she couldn't run a business and that she couldn't deal with those bad guys.

But facts have proved that as long as she musters up the courage, things will turn around. Isn’t Shen Hongyu, who is now notorious among the educated youth, the best proof?

It depends on what Cao Bin plans to do this time. He wants to teach her a lesson, while Lin Minjun also wants to teach this bastard a lesson and make him suffer a big loss!

Let’s talk about the eldest mother. After leaving the courtyard, she searched in the alley, but she didn’t see the rats at the base of the wall coming out or moving around after searching for a long time.

In the past few years, rats were rampant in the alleys. Sometimes, if you entered the place where people stored food, you could step on a rat to death with one foot. But after the organization took action and the street office cooperated, the alleys are now much cleaner, and the rats have kept their tails between their legs and dare not come out to cause trouble.

So the old lady walked from the entrance to the end of the alley, and saw only a little mouse. She picked up a broom and swept it over, but not only did she not catch it, she also sprained her waist.

It was almost dark and the old man was about to go home. The old lady limped back to her home, supporting her old waist. But halfway through the journey, her eyes lit up.

The kids in the alleys are out playing! A few years ago, the school had a summer homework assignment. Every student had to hand in 15 rat tails after the holiday. This was to eliminate the four pests.

Because of this, all the kids in the alley are experts in killing rats and are very good at catching rats. Why not just ask these kids to help her catch a rat?

The mother immediately turned around and walked towards the children. As she walked past, she saw that the children, led by Goudan, the leader of the children in the neighboring compound, were standing under a wall, looking at something intently.

Goudan was looking at an advertisement on the wall. Just now, when he was out playing with his brother, he saw someone stealthily posting a small advertisement on the wall and then ran away. Goudan was very curious, so he brought people over to take a look.

"Brother, what's written here?" The younger brother couldn't read and couldn't reach it, so he stood on tiptoe and asked anxiously.

Goudan squinted his eyes and said, "I changed jobs from Shijiazhuang Post Office to the capital. Contact address: xxxx."

"This one is boring, how about the other one?" the younger brother said again while jumping.

Goudan: "Wow, this is interesting. It is specially used to treat chicken eyes, beriberi, onychomycosis, psoriasis, epilepsy."

Goudan said sincerely: "This man can cure so many diseases."

As he was talking, a lady came over and cleared her throat. "Goudan, I heard that the school asked you to hand in rat tails during last winter break?"

"Yeah? What's the matter?" Goudan said suspiciously.

"Don't worry about it. You are a child, you should listen to adults. Go, help me catch a mouse with your brother." The mother said, relying on her family background as a leader of the courtyard. "Do you know what a leader is? Our family is the leader of this courtyard and alley. Go catch one for me."

Goudan almost died of laughter, "You think I'm a fool, what hospital leader? Your family was so embarrassed last time. Grandpa Ma is the big leader, you are nothing! Stay away from my brother."

The mother originally thought that the child was easy to fool, that's why she was so rude. But when she saw that Goudan had become so talkative out of nowhere, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

But Cao Bin at home was still waiting for a dead mouse, so she had to change her words, "Grandma is joking with you. Let me tell you, I have some candies here, share them among you and find me a dead mouse."

Children prefer soft food to hard food. Seeing that there was candy, Goudan grabbed it immediately, tore it open and threw it into his brother's mouth, then peeled one for himself. Then he asked, "What do you want the dead mouse for? Do they also require adults to hand over the mouse tail? Do you want it again in the future?"

What a cunning man he is. He wants to eat candy in the long run and make a living by selling dead mice to eat candy.

The child thought that adults also had the responsibility to deliver the dead mouse, but would the mother dare to tell the real reason? Of course not.

She lied to Goudan, "It's for medical treatment. Someone in my family needs treatment."

"Yeah, using dead rats to treat diseases, you're not going to make soup to drink, are you?" Goudan thought about that scene and gulped, "How disgusting, what kind of disease are you treating? You have to eat dead rats."

One lie must be covered up with another lie. It is unrealistic to eat dead mice for common diseases. It is only reasonable to eat dead mice for those difficult and complicated diseases that can only be cured by folk remedies.

The mother thought for a long time, and then she remembered what Goudan said when she came over just now. She immediately thought of a good excuse, "Epilepsy."

She also reminded him, "Don't tell anyone that I came to you to kill a mouse. This is not a glorious disease. Do you understand? If you tell anyone, I won't give you any candy."

"No, I won't tell you." Goudan agreed immediately.

"Okay, then, when can you give me something?" The mother seriously made a deal with her child.

Goudan thought for a moment and said, "There are few rats now, so they won't dare to come out easily. Maybe after three days."

The two of them actually agreed on the delivery time seriously, and agreed that Goudan would deliver the goods to the door at the appointed time. One dead mouse was exchanged for five candies, and the deal was done.

The mother thought she was very smart. She only spent five candies and was able to replace Lin Minjun and run the fried potato business in three days.

When the time comes, money will run to your home as if it has legs. Just thinking about that scene makes me feel so happy.

But she had no idea that she had dug a big hole for her son.

The author has something to say:

Bad Guy Cao Bin: I heard someone is saying outside that I have epilepsy?
