The young man with the afro slapped away the cigarette that Xia Daqiang handed him. He had no intention of going into the store to eat. Instead, he grabbed Xia Daqiang, who was standing opposite him, by the collar and pulled him forward. He turned around, put one hand on Xia Daqiang's shoulder, and forcefully dragged him out of the store, shouting, "Old Xia, go out and talk to the guys!"
The middle-aged woman who came with Xia Daqiang felt something was wrong when she saw Xia Daqiang being dragged away by several young men. She was mainly afraid that after Xia Daqiang left, the people at the other table would deny their payment and she would have to pay for the meal.
So the woman quickly screamed, "Old Xia! Where are you going?"
Then he took a few quick steps to catch up and pulled Xia Daqiang.
Xia Daqiang turned around and said to the woman impatiently: "It's none of your business, go do what you need to do!"
However, the interaction between the two aroused the interest of several young people.
The man with the afro raised his chin towards the woman, but he was talking to Xia Daqiang: "Mistress?"
"Just, just, we just met, not familiar with each other!" Xia Daqiang answered stutteringly.
The man with the afro looked at Xia Daqiang's useless look, sneered, and then said: "It's okay, don't be afraid, we brothers also do things according to principles. Wrongs have their perpetrators, debts have their creditors. Let alone a mistress, even if she is really your wife, we brothers will not do anything to a woman!"
Then he said to the woman, "Sister-in-law, please lend me your man for a while!"
Although the woman saw that the young men seemed difficult to deal with, she still mustered up the courage to say to Xia Daqiang, "Old Xia, I don't have any money. Give me the money for dinner before you leave!"
Seeing that the woman didn't understand his expression, Xia Daqiang cursed angrily, "You dead woman, you rag, you don't understand what I'm saying, right? I don't have the money to take care of you and those two bastards! Go away and leave me alone!"
The woman was insulted by Xia Daqiang in front of so many people. She instantly lost her mind and rushed forward to grab Xia Daqiang and refused to let him leave.
"Xia, please explain clearly. Who are you calling a rag-and-bone? Have you ever known me and spent so much money on me? I've been following you, begging you to find a place for the two children to stay out of the wind and rain, so they don't end up living on the streets.
"I swear to God, I've never done anything to wrong you, but I never thought you'd be throwing dirty water on me and ruining my reputation in front of so many people. If you don't make this clear to me today, don't even think about leaving!"
The woman recounted her innocence and grievances while kicking and punching Xia Daqiang. The three young men were afraid of being accidentally injured by the woman, so they jumped aside and watched the fun.
These three young men usually do not do the right thing. They do some sneaky things and even set up gambling scams by finding targets. They cheat and deceive whenever they can, and then try to find some evidence against the other party so that those people will think they are unlucky and dare not call the police.
Xia Daqiang, an old bachelor, was one of the victims of their gambling scam. A few days ago, Xia Daqiang owed three young men a 20,000 yuan gambling debt that he couldn't pay back, and now the interest has compounded to 30,000 yuan.
Xia Daqiang also realized belatedly that he had been plotted against, but the other party got in touch with the woman he used to visit frequently, took a video of him, and claimed that he would send the video to his parents and brothers.
Although Xia Daqiang is usually a bit erratic, he cares a lot about his reputation among his family members, so he dares not speak out.
Unexpectedly, a huge pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head. The other party said that if the family of a person named Sun Xiaohao came to find him, he could just act rogue. Especially if Sun Xiaohao's family asked to draw blood from him, he must not let them succeed.
Just for this, the other party generously paid me 50,000 yuan.
Xia Daqiang was very excited when he saw the 50,000 yuan neatly placed in front of him. He immediately took the money and went out to buy a pack of good cigarettes, two bottles of good wine, and some cooked food and stir-fried dishes to improve the meals for the mother and her friends who had just settled in his home.
Afterwards, he generously gave the woman two thousand yuan: "When you have time, take the children out to buy them two new sets of clothes. Don't wear tattered clothes all day long, like I treated you mothers badly!"
The woman happily took the money and took her child to the night market to buy new clothes for herself and her child.
After all, she was a woman in her prime, and she wanted to dress herself up more beautifully from the bottom of her heart. However, the man before her was poor, lazy, and had a bad temper. Whenever he found that she was dressed nicely, he would accuse her of going out to hook up with other men, and beat and scold her with such a fabricated reason.
Now, she secretly wandered all the way to Jiangjin City with her child, and met Xia Daqiang. He was willing to take her and her children in. The woman was grateful from the bottom of her heart, so she stayed at Xia Daqiang's house for more than half a month, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning the room, and taking care of Xia Daqiang's physiological needs, and serving Xia Daqiang very comfortably.
Xia Daqiang also intended to live with this woman. Although he was a domestic abuser in the past, he always felt empty without a woman to take care of the family all these years. When he thought about his own retirement, he was even more worried.
After all, I am getting older and older, and I am no longer able to do many tasks. Moreover, after I turned 60, it has become very difficult to do odd jobs. No one dares to hire me at such an old age!
Moreover, the woman's son is about to become an adult, and she can let him go out to earn money to support himself. Then, after raising the little girl for a few more years, she can find a husband and get married and receive some betrothal money.
Since I don’t have any children, these two mothers are my only hope for support in my old age.
Of course, the woman is only in her early forties this year. If he wants her to follow him all the time, he has to come up with something that can tie her down.
Xia Daqiang has been doing odd jobs here and there over the years. He has been able to feed his entire family. Apart from food and drink, he has some savings, including a fixed deposit of over 100,000 yuan, and a small two-bedroom apartment of 50 square meters in his name.
If he hadn't been tricked by those guys with afros, he would not only have lost all the wages he had just received for half a year, but also owed 20,000 yuan. His assets would have been even greater.
This unexpected windfall of 50,000 yuan solved his urgent need and made him feel a little more financially secure. However, he didn't expect that before he could even use it to his advantage, a few people with explosive hair showed up.
When Sun Aimin and the other two found Xia Daqiang with the Afro, they thought that the meeting was over. Unexpectedly, the woman's interference allowed them to understand the relationship between the woman, the child and Xia Daqiang, saving them some trouble.
When the staff of the barbecue restaurant saw the fight, they rushed forward to separate them. Yuan Siyi also took the opportunity to walk behind Xia Daqiang, and under the pretext of separating them, she quickly grabbed Xia Daqiang on the head.
Xia Daqiang suddenly felt a pain in his head, which then quickly disappeared, so he didn't take it seriously.
The situation was so chaotic that he just thought the dead woman had pulled out a clump of his hair.
