“Mom, I’m back!” Tang Xiu sincerely smiled and could not help but loudly shout when he saw a few words far away from restaurant which was next to his home.
Soon, his smile disappeared.
His mother would usually go out of the restaurant to meet him when he loudly shouted, but this time she did not. Instead, the surrounding neighborhood sighed and felt sympathetic for him when they heard his shout.“Did anything happen to the restaurant?” When he saw neighbors’ reactions, he quickly ran into the restaurant.
When Tang Xiu went inside, he saw the restaurant was in ruins. Food, soup and broken dishes filled the entire hall, dining table and chairs were all kicked to the ground, the walls and floors had been designated beyond recognition.
Smacking sound of “bang bang bang” were coming from the kitchen, faintly mixed with crying.
Hearing the voices in the kitchen, Tang Xiu’s blood boiled instantaneously and his eyes projected the spark of anger.
“Black, please do not smash things anymore, all the things in the kitchen are all we have. If you break them, I cannot continue to do business.” When Tang entered the kitchen, he saw his mother holding an arm of a middle age man while crying. Her face was full of tears.
"Now you know how to ask me for mercy? What did you do just now? I let you pay 5,000 yuan before the middle of this month for the protection fee and you still have not paid at the end of the month. You take my words as passing wind. Just break! If I do not give you a lifetime of unforgettable lessons, you will never remember our words in your heart!” Middle-aged man lifted his arm, pushed Su Lingyun to the ground, and then kick the front of the steamer.
A huge steamer overturned to the ground and at the same time, hot steam poured out and the water went all over the floor.“Mom, be careful!” Seeing the boiling water in the steamer was going to pour on his mother’s body, Tang Xiu rushed into the kitchen to help her up.
“Xiu, you’re back. Are you hungry? I’ll make something delicious for you now!” After being lifted by Tang Xiu, Su Lingyun bursted out of trance then said panically.
At that time, she was reminded of the situation of the restaurant and felt a bit of helpless.
The dishware were all broken by the seven bullies led by Black Three. Su Lingyun cannot make any food for Tang Xiu, even the simplest dish--egg fried rice.
Clearly catching the helpless and hopeless look of his mother in the eyes, Tang Xiu felt sad.
In Tang Xiu’s heart, Su Lingyun not only did the work of mother, but she was perfectly played the role of the father, taking care of him in every possible way.
For more than ten years, his mother has been hard working. She propped up the the sky for him so that he was carefree and had a healthy growth. He almost ignored the fact that not only his mother was a woman, but also a powerless and lonely woman.
Widows would be discussed a lot by others. When thinking of the suffering which was taken by his mother over the years, Tang Xiu felt pain.
"Mom, I'm not hungry, we will be home for dinner." Tang Xiu tightly embraced his mother's thin body and said with red eyes.
“Go home? You want to go home? If you do not hand over 5000 yuan today, you two cannot go home!”The black middle-aged man said coldly, interrupting the conversation between them.
Hearing the words said by the middle-aged man, Su Lingyun was scared and trembled. She hurriedly hugged Tang Xiu in her arms and said shakingly: "Black Brother, this matter has nothing to do with my son, please let him go. Give me a day and at this time tomorrow, I will hand over five thousand yuan!”
"Today, you are able to solve the problem with 5000 yuan but tomorrow, it may not be this number." Black three glanced at Su Lingyun once and said cynically.
"Brother, I remember we only need two thousand yuan for the protection fee before, why did it rose to five thousand this month?" Tang Xiu blocked his mother from behind him without noticing.
The man did not expect Tang Xiu to suddenly stand up to speak and dare to question their charges standards. Reminded of Tang Xiu’s silly look before, he froze for a moment without saying anything and then looked at Tang Xiu surprisingly.
"Fuck you, we do not need you to teach us." The green-haired bully behind Black Three shouted seeing black three seemed to be neutralized by Tang Xiu and rose his hand, about to slap on Tang Xiu.
However, when the green-haired bully’s hand was more than ten centimeters away from Tang Xiu, a broken glass abruptly flew from the ground, mercilessly embedding into the green hair bully wrist. His wrist was bleeding.
The poor green hair bully just wanted to make a show and didn’t think that this would happen. The glass was punctured in the wrist; it was too painful to shout.
Green hair could not beat Tang Xiu but it didn’t mean that Tang Xiu would let him go.
No matter how the students of class 10 abused him, Tang Xiu did not say anything. It was not because he had a good temper and not because he was a coward but because, in the eyes of Tang Xiu, they just wanted to abuse him and did not have real harm to him.
But these bully are not the same, they not only destroyed his mother's efforts, but also pushed his mother to the impasse, both physically and psychologically harming her, which made Tang enraged.
The most critical factor was that his mother was the only emotional entanglement of Tang’s heart.
So at the moment they smashed the restaurant, Tang Xiu already sentenced them to death, not to mentioned his mother was pushed to the ground.
The other bully did not react to what was going on. Tang Xiu had crossed the previous step and stood at the green hair bully’s side. He kicked the green hair’s knees and stepped on the face so that the bully could not speak.
The actions of Tang Xiu were very fast, so only when the green-haired bully was lying on the ground struggling for a long time that the other bully to reacted to what happened.
“Little bastard, you dare beat us! You don’t want to live?”
"Bastard, quickly let go of my brother or I will scrap your dogleg!"
Being aware that their own people were being beaten by Tang Xiu, the group of bully were extremely furious. They all rushed to Tang Xiu almost at the same time and only Black Three stood in place. He did not move, but instead curiously looked at Tang Xiu.
Black Three already lived in the old river street area of more than twenty years and had known the old river street area well. Although the restaurant was opened less than six months, Black Three knew everything about the restaurant.
According to black three, Su Lingyun of the restaurant was from rural areas and has a small son. Before opening the restaurant, she had done a lot of work. Moving bags, picking up garbage, supermarket salesperson. As long as she can make money, this woman would rush to do the work. She was the typical foreign households.
A month ago, there was a man wearing sunglasses looking for black three and paid 100,000 yuan to let him deal with Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu.
Although black three was sympathy to Su Lingyun, he, after all, had no relationship with Su Lingyun. To let him make a choice between Su Lingyun and 100,000 yuan, black three did not hesitate to choose the latter.
"Wasn’t Tang Xiu stupid?” According to his past observation, Tang Xiu’s brain really had a problem. How could he speak rationally and beat people ruthlessly, completely unlike a stupid child?
Commissioned by the sunglasses man, the harassment of the restaurant was only a bait, bullying Su Lingyun was also a trap. The purpose was to lead to Tang Xiu out. Who they wanted to deal with was Tang Xiu, which made black three suspicious about Tang.
"We have seven adults here. He is a weak juvenile and actually dared to take the initiative to attack us! He is looking for abuse!" Soon, black three shook his head, watching at Su Lingyun.
Before, black three had never seriously looked at Su Lingyun. He just felt poor for Su Lingyun’s experience and was worthy of respect. Looking carefully at Su Lingyun today, he found Su Lingyun was quite a beauty, more beautiful than most of the women he had seen, which made his mind wander off for a moment.
"If Su Lingyun was willing to live with me then I would be reluctant to deal with her. Unfortunately, Su Lingyun was too stubborn and did not agree." Thinking of Su Lingyun’s desperate resistance to him this month, black shook his head. A burst of impatience rose in his mind.
When the other five bully ran to Tang Xiu, Tang Xiu did not fail to show any emotion of fear, but instead, it was full of excitement.
Tang Xiu crossed his feet and the green-haired bully flew, directly towards the other three bullies. Then Tang Xiu swept out with another leg, kicked the guy who was attempting a sneak attack to the ground, making the guy lying in the boiling water. He shouted painfully.
When the last person's fist was about to hit Tang Xiu’s forehead, Tang Xiu sneered. He suddenly stretched out two fingers, poked the other's wrist, and then fixed his fist in the air.
Carelessly controlling the five bullies, Tang Xiu looked towards the black and strong middle-aged man, saying icily, "Black Three, the things in our restaurant are almost destroyed by you. We now discuss the compensation!"
