Chapter 379 Sister, they took a knife...
As soon as Aunt Li opened the oil pan and fried the oysters, a burnt aroma immediately spread all around.
Su Chen couldn't help but sniff.
"Come on, this one is ready. Who's going first?"
Old Liao ran over happily: "Give it to me, give it to me. I tell you, if it tastes good or not, I'll tell you after I take a lick."
He was pushed away by Kong Aichun: "Go away, go away, you're just licking fried oysters, who are you trying to disgust?"
"Sister Li, give it to me. I'll help you check whether it's salty or not!"
Aunt Li nodded: "Hey, I'll put it in for you. Be careful of the heat. And by the way, help me check if this paper bag is suitable and whether it's too hot."
Kong Aichun didn't care whether it was hot or not. After taking it, he blew on it twice and took a bite.
"Kacha!"
You can imagine how crispy it is just by listening to the sound.
Lao Liao couldn't help swallowing.
"Is this okay? I see it's red too, it's all coming to the surface. Is it okay?"
Aunt Li: "No, not that fast, wait a little longer~"
Su Chen also wanted to have one, so he waited for more than ten minutes before he heard Aunt Li calling him, and went up to get one.
"How's it, Xiao Su? Is it delicious?"
Su Chen's mouth was clacking, and he didn't bother to speak, just gave a thumbs up.
"Hey, how come I can smell the aroma from so far away? Aunt Li, are you opening your stall today? Why didn't you tell me in advance? I'll give you a red envelope to celebrate."
The person who spoke was Lin Jingyu. He was holding a pile of books in his hands. He threw the books on the bookstall and couldn't wait to go to Aunt Li's stall.
"Quick, quick, get me one!"
He had just received the fried oysters when Su Chen pulled him aside.
"Dude, what are you doing? You want to rob me?"
Lin Jingyu pretended to cover his hand with the paper bag.
Su Chen glanced at him.
"Ahem, I was just kidding," Lin Jingyu said seriously, "What are you doing?"
Su Chen pointed to the alley where the incense and candle shop was located and told him about Awang.
People on Chunming Street may subconsciously avoid dealing with Uncle Zhong on a daily basis because he runs an incense and candle shop, so they don’t know Awang who lives in Uncle Zhong’s shop very well. But Lin Jingyu is different, as he was the one who contacted Awang’s school.
"Skipping classes, getting hurt? Maybe you were bullied because you transferred from a remote place?"
Lin Jingyu sighed: "Brother, I'll go ask Uncle Zhong."
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Watching him walk away, Su Chen continued to wipe his fingers clean with his handkerchief and continued to ponder the jade.
About half an hour later, Lin Jingyu came back.
He pulled up a chair and sat down.
"I'm being charged protection money!"
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "Being beaten by gangsters?"
"No, it's the senior students in that elementary school in Hudong who, after watching some movies, started imitating Young and Dangerous. I give up."
"Awang's money was Lunar New Year's money given to him by Uncle Zhong. He had never been willing to spend it and had always kept it close to him. They searched it and took it away. Awang was unwilling to accept it, so he tried to rob it and was beaten."
"I was beaten right after school at noon. I was afraid Uncle Zhong would worry, so I didn't dare come back or go to school, fearing I'd be caught and beaten again... I wandered around the lake until now and finally mustered up the courage to come back."
Lin Jingyu sighed and glanced at the magazines on his bookstall, feeling a little depressed.
"Why are these kids always learning bad things instead of good ones?"
Su Chen asked: "Will all children be charged protection fees?"
"Maybe. How..." Lin Jingyu reacted, "Will these guys also attack Honghong and the others?"
"It's hard to say..."
However, when Su Chen thought about the money his children were reluctant to spend being snatched away by someone, he didn't dare to say a word.
Can't bear it.
He has no other shortcomings except that he is very protective of his own children.
Don't let him see it, otherwise...
Lin Jingyu glanced at him and quietly reminded him, "Brother, even if you collect protection money, they are all children...underage."
Su Chen put down the chisel: "Don't worry, I know my limits."
In the evening, when they arrived at the gate of Hudong Primary School, Su Chen nodded secretly as he watched Honghong and the others coming out together.
It seems that he was not targeted.
"Dad~" Apeng shook Su Chen's hand and pointed to the nearby store, "I want to buy an eraser."
"Where's the eraser grandma bought you?"
Ah Xiu complained: "He cut it into small pieces. It's useless."
Ah Qiu added in a low voice, "Uncle, brother Ah Peng wanted to divide it between sister Yue Yue and brother Ah Cai, but he couldn't cut it evenly, so he kept repairing it, and then..."
Su Chen looked at A Peng: "Is that so?"
Apeng nodded: "Dad, can I buy another one?"
"Sure, but you have to buy it with your own money."
Apeng's little face immediately wrinkled into a bun.
Honghong hesitated for a moment and asked Su Chen, "Dad, can I cut half of my eraser and give it to my brother?"
"Okay, that's what grandma bought for you, you can use it as you like."
Apeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, sister. Then I won't buy it. Dad, let's go home quickly. I'm hungry."
Su Chen nodded.
After just a few steps, I saw a little boy being quickly pushed into an alley by a group of people.
"Ah, it's He Libin!"
A Qiu said something, seemed to realize something, quickly shut up, and subconsciously leaned towards Su Chen.
Apeng and Axiu took two steps forward out of curiosity and quickly rushed in.
"Hey, don't bully He Libin!"
"What are you doing? You can't rip up the textbook!"
Su Chen: "..."
He looked at the anxious Honghong and asked, "Are you in the same class?"
"Well, He Libin is sitting at the table behind me."
Honghong said this and ran over.
Soon, Apeng's trembling voice came from inside: "Sister, they have a knife..."
Honghong retreated little by little, her eyes filled with fear.
"Humph, even if you have a knife, I'm not afraid!"
"I'm telling you, my dad is very powerful. If you dare to bully me, he'll kick you up into the sky!"
"That's right, my uncle can knock you all over with just one finger!"
Su Chen just walked over and heard this, and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
He even knows how to say harsh words, it seems he is not a pushover.
Honghong finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him coming.
She bent down carefully, picked up the textbooks scattered on the ground, and pulled He Libin, who was standing against the wall and was a little confused.
"Go!"
After hiding behind Su Chen with others, Hong Hong hurriedly helped put the textbooks into the schoolbag and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you run?"
"I saw them coming before and ran. They couldn't catch me."
Su Chen: "..."
So he was targeted, but escaped harm because he ran fast?
He looked at the children holding knives inside, his eyes gradually turning cold.
He Libin opened his mouth and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I won't run."
"Ah? You can't even run?" This time not only Honghong was surprised, but Aqiu was also surprised.
Su Chen turned around and glanced at the boy. He was quite fair and thin. His eyes fell on his hips.
"Easily dislocated?"
He Libin said "Ah" and nodded quickly: "Yeah."
"It's just a minor problem. Ask your parents to bring you here for treatment later."
Su Chen said as he looked at the kids holding the knives again: "What do you say? Are you still acting like gangsters?"
The children were a little frightened when they first saw him, but now they have calmed down. The leader is still defiant.
"Humph, do you think we're afraid of you?"
"Go together!"
