Everyone seemed to have gathered their courage and echoed Bai Jinyao’s words.
“That’s right! We won’t pay the protection fee! We’ve been paying protection fees for such a long time, but you didn’t even protect us!”
“Yeah! You bunch of hooligans are always taking my meat buns without paying! Why should we pay you protection fees?”
“Return all the protection fees we paid before! Otherwise, we’ll go to the town head!”
“That’s right! The town head is a clean and honest man. He will never tolerate a relative like you!”
“If you threaten the town head and he colludes with you, we’ll go to the county magistrate!”
“Right! To the county magistrate!”
…
The people were all talking, and Wang Dazhu was dumbfounded.
He did not expect the people who had always been obedient to him to suddenly rebel because of Bai Jinyao’s words.
He had been collecting protection fees without the town head’s knowledge because he was sure that the people would pay up and didn’t dare to complain to the town head.
But he was afraid that the people would really listen to the fatty Bai Jinyao’s instigation and go to the town head to complain…
A hint of fierceness crossed the bottom of Wang Dazhu’s eyes.
“Boss, what should we do now?”
Wang Dazhu’s men all came up and asked Wang Dazhu in low voices.
Wang Dazhu didn’t say anything. He didn’t plan on explaining anything to the people.
He glared at Bai Jinyao coldly and turned to leave. “Let’s go!”
The underlings were still thinking about the protection fees that they had yet to collect, but seeing that their boss was about to leave, they could only follow.
When the people saw Wang Dazhu and the rest leaving, they stopped shouting.
It was just that after they had calmed down, everyone began to feel fear.
“Wang Dazhu left just like that? Will he take revenge on us?”
“Should we still ask him to return the protection fees to us?”
“Do you dare to ask him for it? It’s good enough that he didn’t collect our protection fees this time! But Manager Bai, I’m afraid Wang Dazhu will hate you for this!”
A lady, who had just bought meat from Bai Jinyao, looked at Bai Jinyao worriedly.
Bai Jinyao put down the knife in her hand and smiled at everyone.
“Don’t worry, everyone. Even if he hates me, he’ll only secretly make things difficult for me. If he really dares to do anything to me, I’ll definitely go to the town head!
“As for the protection fees, don’t worry. If the town head knows about this, I believe he’ll definitely seek justice for us!”
“Then you’d better be careful, Manager Bai!”
“That’s right. Manager Bai, are you still selling the meat on the board? I’ll buy some.”
“I’ll buy some too. I was just about to buy meat!”
The people suddenly had a good impression of Bai Jinyao because of what had just happened. Those who came to the market to buy pork came to Bai Jinyao to buy meat.
Naturally, Bai Jinyao would not reject a business delivered to her door. She smilingly cut the meat for everyone and weighed it. In the end, she did not forget to grab a handful of wedding candies for everyone.
Bai Jinyao heaved a sigh of relief when the little pig’s meat was finally sold out.
She casually packed her things and left the market with her small cart, preparing to go home.
However, halfway there, Bai Jinyao suddenly remembered that Luo Xichu’s medicine seemed to be out, so she had to buy some for him.
Bai Jinyao pulled the small cart and went to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Then she huffed and puffed as she dragged her legs, which were heavy because of her fat, back home.
She walked into a small alley. As long as she passed through this alley, she would not be far from her house.
However, Bai Jinyao had only taken a few steps into the alley when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.
