Chapter 63: Forcible Collection of Booth Fees



Chapter 63: Forcible Collection of Booth Fees

Seeing this, Hang Jingshu became even more anxious. He pushed through the crowd and rushed in, not wanting to let his parents suffer any loss.

Compared to Hang Jingshu's panic, Wang Silan and his wife were much calmer.

Wang Silan stepped forward to block the line of sight, while Hang Renshan deftly put away the items on the stall behind her.

Wang Silan looked at the familiar faces and calmly asked, "Who didn't pay? I have the receipt!"

The leader had his red armband crookedly on his arm and had long, messy hair. Before he spoke, he blew his hair in front of his forehead, thinking he was very handsome: "I said I didn't give it to you, so I didn't give it to you. What's the matter?"

After packing up his things, Hang Renshan stood in front of his wife, took out a few cigarettes from his pocket with a smile, and looked prepared: "Hey, Xiao Ma brother, you guys smoke first, we can talk it out!"

Seeing Hang Renshan’s frightened look, Ma Tianming exchanged glances with his brothers around him. Today, he caught another fat guy!

The younger brother beside him took the cigarette from Hang Renshan's hand without any hesitation, and said with a dirty mouth: "Old man, you are very considerate. Hurry up and pay the booth fee. Our Xiao Ma is busy!"

The surrounding stalls are no longer surprised by this. In the past year or so, almost every stall that makes money has experienced such an incident.

This guy took turns collecting money before, and it was only a few dollars in total, so no one said anything.

In business, harmony brings wealth. It would be even more troublesome if we had a quarrel over a few dollars and couldn't set up our stall here.

Ma Tianming and his men were used to showing off their power and authority at the market, and they believed that they had the final say in the entire market. However, today was the second time in a short period of time that they came to Wang Silan to ask for money.

Hang Renshan protected his wife behind him and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiao Ma, how much do we have to pay this time? We paid once this morning."

Ma Tianming took a deep puff of the cigarette in his mouth, and exhaled after several seconds: "Pay another 15 yuan, your business is doing well, and we brothers will take care of you~"

15 bucks!

Everyone watching the excitement gasped in shock, this is a copycat!

Wang Silan had been asked for money once before when she set up a stall here. As she had just arrived, she paid the money painfully. After all, less trouble is better.

But I didn’t expect that these people would come here because they see the good business here!

This is really too much!

Hang Jingshu took this opportunity to squeeze to the front, but she was carrying so many things that she looked really cumbersome.

Further ahead is Ma Tianming and his group. It is obviously not a wise move to rush over at this time.

I am still young, and if I rush over now, it might cause other troubles for my parents.

How about...

Hang Renshan and Wang Silan were embarrassed when they heard that Ma Tianming wanted 15 yuan. Hang Renshan wanted to say something nice: "Brother Ma, 15 is too much. My husband and I just want to earn some hard-earned money. You see..."

Not only Wang Silan and his wife felt the same way, many people in the crowd were also scared. How could they come to this market in the future? Even if business was good, the money earned would never go into their hands. What was the point of doing business?

Hang Jingshu hid in the crowd, covered his face with the cloth he had bought, and shouted loudly: "This is not collecting money, this is clearly robbing!"

After saying that, he quickly grabbed the cloth and moved to another place.

There were also some people in the crowd who dared to speak up and echoed: "That's right, who will still set up a stall here in the future!"

“This is too much!”

The power of the masses is strong. Hang Jingshu fought guerrilla warfare in the crowd and shouted loudly twice without being noticed.

Wang Silan had already recognized the young lady's voice, and secretly praised the girl for being smart. If she had rushed over directly, it would have been really troublesome.

Ma Tianming is 20 years old this year and started to live a lazy life before graduating from junior high school.

He usually takes a few brothers with him to cause trouble everywhere. The neighbors around him hate him but can do nothing about it.

Who wants to provoke a mad dog? Everyone in the family is out at work. What if they secretly come over and cause trouble with a grudge in their hearts?

People tend to seek profit and avoid harm. With families and children, no one is willing to take the initiative to touch mold.

However, since the crackdown began last year, Ma Tianming has gradually become more restrained.

Mainly because his family was afraid that he would get shot because of his bad behavior, they begged their grandfather to find a job for their son as a market manager.

Although it's not a formal job, it's still something to do.

The result was unexpected. This kid didn't behave himself for long and returned to his old ways. He started to gather a group of younger brothers at the market and show off his power everywhere!

Those who had better business in the market became their blood bags!

Every time I find something to do when the market is about to end!

I heard that his family had already started arranging a marriage for Ma Tianming, but when the people nearby heard that it was the Ma family, they all shook their heads. No one was willing to marry their daughter to them.

The girl is still young and has a bright future ahead of her, she can't let these second-rate guys see her.

Spending a few bucks is no big deal, but letting them target the young lady is a big deal!

These shouts also made the hearts of the people who followed Ma Tianming start to beat fast. They were being severely punished now, what would they do if they were caught?

There was a timid one who went over and pulled Ma Tianming's sleeve and said, "Brother Ma, why don't we retreat first this time?"

The people behind Ma Tianming exchanged glances and thought, if you make a big fuss, we brothers won’t help you.

Otherwise, why do people say that Ma Tianming is hated by people and ghosts? In this situation, the right thing to do is to say a few harsh words and run away quickly, but he didn't do that.

Facing these accusations, he stiffened his neck and became even more stubborn. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and pointed it at Hang Renshan's face fiercely: "Don't try this on me. Don't think about leaving without 20 yuan today!"

It was 15 just now, and now it has increased to 20!

Is this crazy?

The discussion in the crowd became louder.

Ma Tianming turned around and scratched his ears without hesitation, then threatened the people watching the excitement: "What are you looking at? If you dare to speak for them again, I will collect money from you one by one! Watch my performance, Brother Ma, 20 cents per person!"

What kind of person is this? So shameless!

It seemed that there was no room for negotiation. Hang Renshan put away the smile on his face and began to look for a stick that he could use. He definitely could not hand over the money!

Otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Seeing that not only was there no room for negotiation but the price was getting higher and higher, Hang Renshan held a stick in his hand and stared at Ma Tianming, and it seemed that both parties were about to start fighting.

When Hang Jingshu squeezed to the front of the crowd, he saw his mother Wang Silan winking at him, meaning that he should go find someone quickly.

Even though she wanted to rush over to speak for her parents, Hang Jingshu could understand the current situation. She had to find someone who could control Ma Tianming!

Meanwhile, Ma Tianming and his men were still pressing forward, but Wang Silan didn't care. She rushed to the front, ruffled her hair, brushed off a lot of dirt, and started crying.

"Oh my! That's so unfair!"

"A market manager is making things difficult for ordinary people!"

"They are practicing privilege to collect money and embezzle!!!"

"Someone come! Look at the young people who are bullying an old woman like me! Oh no! I can't live anymore!!!"
