pport, Old Master Zhong followed them out. Back in the conference room, he entered along with everyone else. The experts looked at each other but did not speak up.Seeing their expressions, Old Master...Chapter 227: Hooligans

Once everything was out in the open, they all felt much more comfortable inside. There were smiles on everyone's faces.

At noon, Xiao Yu and his family went to a small shop specializing in donkey meat pancakes that was not far from the antique city. They had a meal of donkey meat pancakes there. The shop was run by a couple in their forties, and after school, their daughter would assist them in serving customers.

The donkey meat pancakes here might not be as authentic as those from home, but it was still quite rare to find such food in the southern city.

It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, and with no customers around, both the boss and his wife were at the shop having lunch while watching TV. They would occasionally chat with Xiao Yu's group.

"You guys are also from the north, right" The boss suddenly said to Xiao Yu's group.

"Yes! Is the boss too" Xiao Yu's group asked curiously.

"Yes, I've been here for almost ten years!" This boss originally had a southern accent but would occasionally speak with a northern intonation.

However, when he heard that Xiao Yu's group was from the north as well, his accent immediately changed to a northern one.

"Where in the north are you guys from" Xiao Yu's group said cheerfully and asked him in their dialect.

This was because they had just noticed that there were some traces of their accent in the boss’s voice.

But then again, it made sense as most shops selling donkey meat pancakes nowadays are run by people from the ancient city.

"Haha, really fellow countrymen! We're from River City in Ancient City!" Hearing Xiao Yu's accent, this boss said in their local dialect too.

"We're actually from the same city. This means we’re truly fellow countrymen!" It was very rare to meet someone from your hometown amidst such a large crowd of people.

Generally speaking, when you leave the province, anyone who is also from that province is considered a fellow countryman. Within the province, people from the same region are called fellow countrymen. Furthermore, in this huge southern city, meeting someone from your own region was indeed very difficult.

The usually taciturn boss lady started talking more when she heard that Xiao Yu's group were also from Ancient City.

While eating, Xiao Yu's family chatted with the couple. Since both families were fellow countrymen, they naturally had plenty to talk about. They were very happy to learn that Xiao Yu’s family was running a clinic near the antique city because having someone from your hometown to rely on in an unfamiliar place thousands of miles away was indeed comforting.

The two families were eating and chatting when suddenly, four or five people entered through the main door. These individuals had their hair dyed in various colors, some even wearing multiple earrings on their ears, while one person even had a metal ring piercing his nose.

The boss and his wife's expressions changed dramatically upon seeing these newcomers, looking at them with obvious displeasure.

"Scrawny punk, how's the decision coming along Are you moving or not"

These individuals walked straight to a place in the house and sat down. One of them, seemingly the leader, took out a foot-long machete from his jacket pocket, using it to trim his nails without looking up, saying indifferently.

"Brothers, it's not that we don't want to move, but your offer is too low. My house is worth nearly a million yuan, yet you're only offering ten thousand! How do you expect us to agree"

The boss knelt and bowed repeatedly in response.

"We won't concern ourselves with the price or how much of a loss it would be for you. We just need you to move out. Refuse, and... hmm... *bang*..."

These individuals didn’t even glance at the boss as they spoke; they laughed coldly towards the end, slapping down their machetes on the table before staring fiercely at him.

The XIAoyu family put down their chopsticks because none of them knew what was going on and could only watch with wary eyes.

Shaken by the sudden noise, the boss quickly said: "Brothers, please go back first. We really can't sell at this price!"

"Heh heh, it's better that you don't sell then. If you sold it right away, we wouldn’t be able to show off our capabilities! Right, brothers..."

With a cold laugh, the man with the machete said.

"Yeah, yeah, Big Brother is right! It's better that they don't move. We've been bored recently and now we have something to do!"

The other individuals snorted dismissively at the boss after hearing their comrade’s words.

Just then, the boss's daughter came out of the room, holding several books in her hands while dressed in a school uniform, apparently getting ready for school.

She didn't even look their way, as if she was used to such scenes.

"Eh Hehe, looks like you’re quite grown up, around fifteen right Look at how developed you are. How about hanging out with us We promise you'll have a great time!"

The man with yellow hair, upon seeing the boss's daughter emerge from inside the house, walked over to intercept the young girl on her way to school. With a lecherous gaze, he stared at the girl’s barely developed chest and said with a lascivious smile.

"You... What do you want" Upon seeing their demeanor, the boss immediately pulled his daughter behind him and sternly asked them.

"Heh-heh, what do we want Boss, it's best for you to move out obediently. Otherwise... heh-heh, when we come back tomorrow and see that you haven't moved out… such a pretty girl being taken by over ten men... hahahaha..."

Seeing the boss’s reaction, these people were completely unfazed and spoke with arrogance before bursting into loud laughter.

"You... are you not afraid of the law!"

The boss was so angry that he trembled as he yelled at them.

"The law Heh-heh... there is a law! Where would there be no law I'll tell you, our boss's words are the law!"

These hooligans said nonchalantly. After speaking, they even struck the boss’s face with the knife in their hand.

"Boss, think about it properly, this house was also priced at 100,000 when you bought it, and you've already been using it for many years now—it's long since recovered your investment. Our boss giving you 100,000 is actually a good deal."

A green-haired punk pushed through the others and spoke to the boss in an amiable manner.

"Besides, you don’t want anything bad to happen to your daughter either!" Seeing that the boss didn't respond, the green-haired punk pointed at the boss’s daughter with a finger.

“Scumbags!” Xiao Jianying said as he put down his mutton pancake.

Xiao Yu and the others were taken aback; they had no idea what was going on when they came out to eat, so none of them spoke up, but instead wanted to see what would happen. Although those few people didn’t look like good guys, you couldn't say someone wasn’t a good person just because they didn’t seem like one.

But gradually, Xiao Yu and the others understood that these people were likely trying to force them to sell their house at an unfair price. Before Xiao Yu could speak up after hearing what they said, he found out that it was actually Xiao Jianying who couldn't hold back any longer.

Since Xiao Jianying had vented everything she had been suppressing in her heart, her mindset had become much younger. When she heard those few punks’ words now, she could no longer contain the anger inside her.

You see, when Xiao Jianying was young, she was also someone who hated evil and injustice, with a chivalrous disposition akin to that of ancient female heroes. However, after becoming pregnant and going through what happened to Xiao Yu's father, her personality changed significantly.

Xiao Jianying had previously harbored thoughts of avoiding the Old Wang family and also needed to take care of two children, so she suppressed her own disposition.

The son and daughter have grown up, and everything has been told to them. What happens in the future will depend on their own judgment.

As the saying goes, it's easier to change the江山易改 (landscape) than to alter one's本性難移 (nature). Although I've changed quite a bit in terms of personality over these years while raising them, now that this heavy burden has been lifted from my mind, my inherent nature is starting to come back.

"Shout, eating sunflower seeds and finding a stinky bug!"

Although Xiao Jianying's voice wasn't loud, the few hooligans still heard it. They glanced over at Xiao Yu's table and said.

"Are you looking for a beating Motherf*cker, eat your meal properly or get out right now!"

The little hoodlum with a circle on his nose and red hair pointed at Xiao Jianying and shouted arrogantly.

"Get lost! I won't say it again."

Hearing the words of these few hooligans, Xiao Yu's expression darkened. He turned around to look at them and said.

"Haha, even more rampant than us brothers!"

One of the silent yellow-haired hoodlums laughed after hearing what Xiao Yu had said.

The moment his words ended, he casually picked up a restaurant chair by its leg and threw it at Xiao Yu's head. Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and focused on the approaching chair.

Seeing the chair heading towards Xiao Yu, Xiao Jianying and others instinctively wanted to warn him but stopped themselves when they remembered Xiao Yu’s strength. What he did yesterday had surpassed their wildest expectations since Xiao Yu was always seen as an ordinary kid who would not retaliate even when bullied.

Therefore, their minds hadn't adjusted yet to the fact that Xiao Yu possessed such prowess. Seeing the chair heading towards him, they instinctively wanted to warn him.

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and saw the approaching chair. After narrowly dodging it by moving aside, he swiftly kicked this hoodlum in the stomach with a flying kick.

There was a resounding "bang" as Xiao Yu's foot hit the hoodlum’s stomach; the chair that had been thrown at him fell to the ground.

The hoodlum who got kicked in the belly flew backward like a shrimp, arching his body for two meters before landing on the ground with continuous wails of pain.s of the family without responsibility for passing down the medical techniques, allowing them to do as they please with relatively less support from the family.However, members are different; they don...
