Ever since Wang Fu was rubbed in a bucket of water by Gu Nanjiao last time, although he appeared to be a little scared, he secretly wished he could drink her blood and eat her flesh.
Today, Yang Meiqin suggested that since Gu Nanjiao had opened a new store, they should bring a few more people and smash it up to see how arrogant she would be.
Wang Fu had repeatedly suffered losses at Gu Nanjiao's hands because he had no one by his side.
Today, she specially hired four thugs to follow her, determined to teach Gu Nanjiao a lesson and avenge the humiliation of that day.
After the group came in, they ordered a red bean iced milk tea, a braised tofu, and a mushroom and chicken soup.
Halfway through the meal, one of Wang Fu's henchmen cursed menacingly, "Where is your manager? There's such a big rat in the chicken soup!"
Hearing the sound, the people eating looked over and saw that the big man was indeed holding a rat covered in soup on his chopsticks.
The rats emitted a foul stench, and the sour, putrid smell filled the entire hall.
The guests in the hall instantly lost their appetites, and some who had ordered chicken soup almost vomited.
I don't know if the chicken soup was made from the same pot, but they drank quite a bit of it.
Sister Wang, Gu Nanjiao's newly promoted manager, quickly stepped forward to apologize upon seeing the situation: "Brother, our Meiwuzhai is absolutely clean in terms of food. We have strict requirements for hygiene, so it's impossible for rats to be present."
"Shut the hell up! Your rats disgusted my young lady, I'm going to smash up your shop!" The burly man shoved Sister Wang, who stumbled a few steps and almost fell.
Hearing the commotion, Gu Nanjiao rushed over. When she saw the cold smiles on Wang Fu and Yang Meiqin's lips, she understood everything.
These two were actually working together, and they even brought four thugs with them. Without a doubt, they came prepared to sabotage her business.
Just then, a male voice came from not far away: "Brother, I saw from a distance that the aunt standing next to you took this worm out of her bosom and threw it into the soup bowl. How can you accuse someone of this?"
The speaker was a young man, handsome and thin, not very old. As soon as he spoke, the hall erupted in commotion.
The woman standing next to the burly man was none other than Yang Meiqin, the woman the old lady was referring to.
Yang Meiqin was furious that her trickery had been discovered, and when she heard someone call her "auntie," her face turned red with anger: "You're talking nonsense! We have no grudge against Meiweizhai, why would we harm her?"
"Really? Yang Meiqin, Wang Fu, I never expected you two to get together. You even brought four men with you to dinner. What, are these four men your new live-in sons-in-law?" Gu Nanjiao walked over with her hands behind her back, her voice deep and enigmatic.
Wang Fu was furious and slammed his hand on the table: "Gu Nanjiao, stop ruining my reputation."
When the crowd saw that they could say each other's names in public, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"It seems they know each other; they must have a long-standing grudge."
"I knew it! What kind of young lady brings four men to a meal? She's clearly here to cause trouble. This young lady is wicked."
"Not necessarily. Maybe those four men are the girl's lovers. She just couldn't resist showing them off."
"Oh dear, this young lady is so shameless."
"Look at that seductive and alluring woman next to her, she's really captivating. Maybe the two of them are birds of a feather."
As Wang Fu listened to the increasingly offensive words of the crowd, his face turned ashen: "Gu Nanjiao, it's clearly the food in the shop that's unclean, yet you're spreading rumors and ruining my reputation."
Yang Meiqin added fuel to the fire: "She takes advantage of Young Master Bai and doesn't respect you. I can't vent my anger without smashing up her shop."
Yang Meiqin's eyes turned red with jealousy. Why was she suffering in the Wang family while Gu Nanjiao's business was doing so well?
Why should I?!
Upon hearing the name "Young Master Bai," Wang Fu disregarded his image and hysterically shouted, "Smash her shop! She's actually selling rats to her customers!"
Gu Nanjiao was getting a headache from all the noise. She looked at the four burly men and thought, "They're going to smash up my shop. I won't be polite to them."
He strode forward, grabbed the rat from the table, and shoved it into Wang Fu's mouth with lightning speed.
"You say I'm selling rats? You'll only count it as selling them if you eat them yourself."
Wang Fu was stunned, and everyone eating in the hall was stunned.
"Ugh—you bitch, I'll kill you!!" Coming to his senses, Wang Fu felt nauseous and attacked Gu Nanjiao.
Yang Meiqin watched in horror and quickly backed away. She thought being stuffed with socks was disgusting enough, but she never expected... that they would stuff rats in there!
Before Wang Fu could rush over, the four thugs menacingly approached Gu Nanjiao and raised their hands to slap her.
In an instant, the young man swiftly blocked the big man's punch, clutching his chest and taking a few steps back.
Gu Nanjiao quickly helped the thin young man up, asking with concern, "Are you alright?" When she saw his face clearly, Gu Nanjiao was stunned. Wasn't this the man who had almost knocked her down last time? She had thought he was a thief at the time. Later, he was being chased, so Gu Nanjiao went into hiding. She never expected to see him in her own shop.
"I'm fine!"
Seeing this, Wang Fu became extremely arrogant and excitedly ordered his thugs: "Capture Gu Nanjiao for me. I want to teach her a lesson myself."
She also wanted to make Gu Nanjiao taste the stench of sewage and the disgust of rats.
At this moment, the four deliverymen of Meiwuzhai returned after delivering food and heard that someone was causing trouble, so they rushed to the kitchen to grab weapons.
"Anyone who dares to lecture our boss will have to ask the knife in their hand if they dare to."
Wang Fu's thugs, far from being afraid, laughed loudly: "Look at you skinny little guys, trying to show off your skills in front of Guan Yu, you're overestimating yourselves."
They're professional thugs, good at fighting and brawling. The guy Gu Nanjiao hired is mainly fast, he's no match for her in a fight.
Without a doubt, the four runners were knocked to the ground.
Wang Fu was extremely pleased with himself, and even Yang Meiqin's eyes were filled with undisguised excitement.
"Sister Wang, report this to the authorities!"
Just as Sister Wang was about to run out, she was blocked by the thugs.
Wang Fu's face contorted with smugness, and even the nausea he had felt earlier had vanished without a trace.
"Go ahead and report it, Gu Nanjiao. You've fallen into my hands today. You'll be lucky to escape with your life."
Gu Nanjiao met Wang Fu's gaze without fear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Is that so? Who really got the short end of the stick?"
Just then, the door of Meiwuzhai was kicked open, and a group of people wielding axes rushed in. The burly man at the head of the group said menacingly, "Who dares to cause trouble on the territory of the Cabbage Gang?"
A familiar opening, a familiar cabbage leaf.
When Wang Fulai caused trouble, Gu Nanjiao asked Lu's mother to take fifty taels of silver to Baicaibang to pledge allegiance and give them 10% of the profits, hoping to become the backer of Meiwuzhai. She didn't expect him to come so quickly.
When the diners saw the cabbage leaves arrive, they scattered and hid, some even hiding under the table.
Upon seeing the burly leader of the Cabbage Gang, the four thugs' arrogance vanished instantly, and they hurriedly stepped forward obsequiously: "Brother Tiger, Brother Dog, you've arrived!"
The burly, menacing-looking man at the head of the group was named Zhang Hu, and his lackey beside him was named Zhang Ergou.
Before Tiger could speak, Zhang Ergou kicked him, saying, "You've got some nerve, daring to smash up Sister-in-law Zhao's shop!"
Zhang Hu gave him a sharp glare, and Zhang Ergou quickly corrected himself: "Pah, I misspoke. I ate too many dumplings today, and all I could think about was finding my sister-in-law! You've got some nerve, daring to cause trouble in Bai Caibang's territory?"
The burly man who had been kicked to the ground immediately begged for mercy: "Brother Dog, spare my life!" He pointed at Yang Meiqin and said, "She gave me the money and even slept with me, which led us to smash up the shop! I was greedy for money and lustful, Brother Tiger and Brother Dog, spare my life!"
"Damn it, you dare to pull the tiger's hair out? Tiger Brother has ordered: no one is allowed to take on private jobs. You guys are all greedy for money and have broken the rules of the Cabbage Gang. Take them away!"
After a series of swift and fierce actions, it turned out that the four thugs were actually subordinates of the Cabbage Gang.
Before the Cabbage Gang escorted the four thugs away, Tiger Brother and Dog Brother even nodded politely to Gu Nanjiao, leaving her completely bewildered.
At this moment, Lu's mother handed fifty taels to Gu Nanjiao and said, "When I went to find them, they said they didn't want money or even a ten percent of the profits. Anyone who dared to cause trouble on the White Cabbage Gang's territory was going against them. Then they came over."
"What?" Gu Nanjiao was even more confused. The cabbage gang was so easy to talk to.
Could it be that he was beaten up by Bai Luochen and subdued? Is that why he's being so polite to her?
And last time when the Cabbage Gang caused trouble, Bai Luochen said it was all staged, and she almost suspected it was Lu Yanzhao. Now that she thinks about it, Bai Luochen's surname is Bai, and these small-time thugs' gang is called the Cabbage Gang, both containing the character "Bai" (white). Could it be that Bai Luochen was the one who staged it?
Bai Luochen must be jealous of her good business and wants to cheat her out of 10% of the profits.
Gu Nanjiao was furious. It turned out that Bai Luochen was the one who was the black sesame dumpling.
