After Shi Xiaolan and An Fu left, An Jing raised one eyebrow and said to Xiao Changyi with a smile, "Husband, let’s go to the town to sell fermented tofu again tomorrow morning. I really want to see how this Sun Beiwei is going to stop the townspeople from buying our fermented tofu."
Sun Beiwei could notify the restaurant owners, but could he possibly send someone to each housewife’s home to warn them? Without having to think about it, it was clear that was impossible; there had to be another tactic.
How could Xiao Changyi not know that An Jing actually wanted to go to the town to take care of someone? He pulled An Jing into his embrace and indulged her with a nod, whispering softly in agreement, "Mmm."
The next day, An Jing and Xiao Changyi went to the town to sell fermented tofu again. Knowing that they wouldn’t be able to sell much, they only brought a small jar, which was about ten pounds, just for show.
Daylight had broken, and the number of people coming to buy vegetables was gradually increasing. An Jing and Xiao Changyi had a good spot for their stall, but even after two hours, nobody dared to buy their fermented tofu.
Because they didn’t dare to buy, but some truly wanted to, those women couldn’t help but take a few more glances at An Jing’s fermented tofu stall.
Seeing the would-be buyers looking hesitant yet desirous, the smile on An Jing’s lips grew even wider.
Excellent, she had finally figured out how Sun Beiwei planned to make her unwelcome in this town.
Early in the morning, at every entrance to the West Market, there were two thugs stationed, threatening the women who came to buy vegetables not to purchase her family’s fermented tofu. The women, fearful and not wanting to cause trouble, didn’t dare to buy even though they wanted to.
The reason for posting men at the entrances, instead of smashing her stall again, was likely because He Ba and his two lackeys were severely injured the day before; none of the thugs dared to directly cause trouble for them again.
An Jing watched as at one of the entrances, two thugs were blatantly intimidating the women, telling them not to buy her family’s fermented tofu. The smile on her lips grew even wider, "Husband, my hands are getting itchy."
Xiao Changyi was extremely calm, "What do you want to do?"
"You beat them up first, then I’ll go and slap each of them. How about that?"
"Won’t your hands hurt?"
"It might hurt, but it should also feel very satisfying."
Xiao Changyi sighed lightly with a mix of helplessness and indulgence, "I’ll do it. You just watch."
"What, you can’t bear to see me in pain?" An Jing’s smile was brilliant, and of course, she felt sweet inside.
Xiao Changyi actually nodded, "Mmm." He paused, then added weight to his promise, "I’ll make it very satisfying for you to watch."
An Jing immediately agreed, "Deal!" As long as it was satisfying for her, it was a deal.
There were four entrances, and eight thugs, each not very capable. They were fine for intimidating a few timid souls, but in front of Xiao Changyi, they were nothing.
Xiao Changyi started by taking care of the two thugs at one entrance. Because their screams were so loud, it quickly drew the attention of the six thugs from the other three entrances.
Upon seeing the six thugs approach, Xiao Changyi swiftly and thoroughly dealt with all of them.
Conveniently, there were two trees nearby, quite close to each other, too narrow for a person to pass through. Anyone who tried to squeeze between them would surely get stuck.
Xiao Changyi picked up each thug he had knocked down, stacking them between the two trees like folded Arhats. They were all lying face down, one on top of the other, piling up high. Then, all eight thugs were thoroughly stuck there, looking not only miserable but also hilariously ridiculous.
