Shen Li and the rest were inside the shop but when they heard the commotion, they couldn't help but walk out of the shop. They left the mammies who ca with them to pick up the clothes that they had purchased.
After all, they were only going outside the shop to take a look and nothing more. There was no need for them to take the mammies with them for sothing small.
When the mammy who ca with them saw that Shen Li and the rest were walking out of the shop, she was about to follow them but she was stopped by Shen Li. He turned to look at her and then said lightly, "We are not going to head out. The ruckus is too loud and we are only heading out to take a look at it and nothing else, Mammy Tian."
Mammy Tian wanted to follow Shen Li and the others, in case sothing happened to them there would be a commotion at the Yu house. Thus, she said, "I know what you are saying Master Shen but following you is my duty and Sister Yun is here, there is nothing for to worry about. She will pick up the bags and bring them to us."
When Shen Li saw that he couldn't stop Mammy Tian, he nodded and walked out of the shop with Ye Liu, Chen Mi and Fang Chi. The four r ca to a stop in front of the shop and looked at the elderly r who was lying on the road.
His face was swollen because of the slap that he had received and was trying to snatch the fabrics that were stolen by the thug-looking woman.
"Stop yanking my fabrics! I do not have the money to pay for your protection fees now but I will make it up to you all later on! Let off please, I have no money and my family is waiting for to make money while relying on this small shop," the old r pleaded as he tried to pull the fabric off the hands of the thugs.
The thugs however simply laughed. They looked at the old r as if he was joking with them.
The leader of the thugs said to the old r, "What do you an by that you will pay us huh? You have been saying the sa thing over and over again, you old r. We are tired of listening to the sa bullshit! Either you give us the money or you get lost!"
As the thug spoke, she raised her leg and kicked the old r sending him back to the ground.
"Oof," the r winced in pain as he clutched his abdon.
Though many of the people in the crowd condemned the thugs, no one ca to the aid of the old r. They were worried that they would be the ones who would be troubled by the thugs after the old r. They didn't move forward nor they helped the old r but they were willing to gossip.
"Oh my, this is too much. How can they even think of harming the old r?"
"There is no law in this country anymore, they can bully an old r like this without any problem surely they are backed by the officials."
"This is too much!" Chen Mi chid along with the crowd as he looked at the old r but unlike the crowd, he didn't stay put instead he stepped forward to teach a lesson to the thugs but he was pulled back by Ye Liu and Shen Li.
"What are you doing jumping in this ss?" Ye Liu questioned Chen Mi.
"They do not seem like they are reasonable person, why are you getting involved with them?" Shen Li frowned and said to Chen Mi in a reprimanding voice.
Chen Mi on the other hand pouted. He looked at the old r and then said, "Are we going to leave that old r alone?"
He felt sympathetic towards the old r because there was one ti when they were hounded by the thugs as well. They all wanted them to pay for the loan that Yu Dong had taken and they had to take out all the savings in the house including the land deeds.
The others felt just as sympathetic especially Fang Chi, who had seen his grandmother bow her back in front of many loan sharks in the past after his eldest aunt took a loan from the loan sharks.
They all felt sympathetic and wanted to help the loan sharks but they were afraid as well.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of the three, Shen Li sighed and then turned to look at Mammy Tian. He took out the pouch of money that he was carrying and handed it to Madam Tian before saying, "Go and hand it to the thugs, let them leave the old r alone."
Mammy Tian was stunned when she heard Shen Li's words. Was this the sa r who didn't want to take out two taels for himself yet he was giving away the entire pouch to help the old r? Sure enough, the people who were born with a kind heart were different.
Mammy Tian took the pouch and then nodded.
"Alright, please wait here," she said to Shen Li and the rest before walking down the stairs. She headed to the centre of the circle and then turned to look at the thugs. Mammy Tian asked, "How much money does this old r owes you?"
The leader of the thugs raised a brow, she was about to sneer at Mammy Tian but then her gaze fell on the expensive and fine clothing that Mammy Tian was wearing and she imdiately changed her words.
"He owes more than sixty taels!" The leader of the thugs announced causing the crowd to gasp.
The old r however shook his head and then said, "She is lying I only owe them forty taels. I have paid twenty taels or so to them already."
