I was a daigou in the 60s

Yang Xueqin asked nervously, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

Xiao Dongqing nodded firmly.

"Since I promised to help you, I will definitely do it."

A touch of emotion appeared in Yang Xueqin's eyes.

He nodded slightly, uttering an affirmative response through his nasal voice.

Push open the rickety door.

A noisy scene appeared before their eyes.

The hall was filled with card tables and diamond tables.

The area was filled with people of all kinds, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

Yang Xueqin was frightened by this sudden scene.

He involuntarily took a step back and grabbed the corner of Xiao Dongqing's clothes tightly for comfort.

"Hey! Isn't this Xiao Dongqing! You finally came to play!"

Shen Zhong, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked towards Xiao Dongqing with a smile and invited him to join the game.

However, when he noticed Yang Xueqin hiding behind Xiao Dongqing.

The smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by anger.

"Yang Xueqin, you unfilial daughter! How dare you give the money that should be given to me to someone else?"

"At least they are willing to help me take care of my mom, don't you?"

Yang Xueqin bravely refuted.

Shen Zhong's face turned ashen with anger.

"You rebellious girl, I will beat you to death today!"

Just when Shen Zhong raised his hand to hit Yang Xueqin.

Xiao Dongqing acted quickly and grabbed his wrist firmly.

No matter how Shen Zhong struggled, he couldn't break free.

"Let me go! What's this got to do with you? I'm teaching my daughter a lesson, what's it to you?"

Shen Zhong's eyes were wide open and his breathing was rapid. He wanted to break free from Xiao Dongqing's control.

But Xiao Dongqing did not let go. His eyes were firm as he protected Yang Xueqin beside him.

Xiao Dongqing frowned, pushed Shen Zhong away, and said firmly.

"Don't even think about touching her while I'm here."

Shen Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and a smile appeared on his face.

He looked at Xiao Dongqing and said.

"I see, you're attracted to my daughter?"

"Well, in that case, let's follow the rules."

"First, kowtow to me and call me dad."

"Give me another thousand yuan as a betrothal gift, and you can take this woman away anytime."

As soon as Shen Zhong finished speaking, the crowd around him immediately became excited.

People in the casino stopped playing their games and gathered around curiously.

Some people whistled and some people cheered.

"Hey, Uncle Shen, please lend me your daughter for a couple of days."

"If you lose money these two days, I'll cover it all!"

"You're selling your daughter for a thousand yuan? Haha, I can buy two!"

"Father-in-law, come and play with me. I promise you'll have fun, and the cigarettes and alcohol are free!"

……

The noisy sounds made the scene very chaotic.

Xiao Dongqing's face became increasingly gloomy, as if he was in a bandit's den.

He strode towards Shen Zhong and kicked him.

Shen Zhong, who was immersed in the flattery of the crowd, was kicked to the ground, and the pain made Shen Zhong gasp.

"Brothers, someone is trying to destroy our place!"

Suddenly a roar came from the crowd.

Then all the gamblers threw down the cards and diamonds in their hands.

They picked up sticks and surrounded Xiao Dongqing.

They held steel rods and daggers in their hands and looked murderous.

However, Xiao Dongqing's expression did not change at all.

Because he knew that these people were just pretending and would not really take action.

Once upon a time, Xiao Dongqing was one of them and understood the unspoken rules of such occasions.

Whenever someone causes trouble, everyone rushes over.

But in the end, no one will really get hurt, and they can even get some small favors afterwards.

Ignoring the threats around him, Xiao Dongqing continued to walk towards Shen Zhong.

At this time, Shen Zhong was holding his stomach, sweating profusely, and looked at Xiao Dongqing in fear and asked.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Xiao Dongqing stopped and said coldly.

"Where is Zhao Quezi?"

"He...he went out..."

Shen Zhong answered stutteringly.

Without waiting for Shen Zhong to finish speaking, Xiao Dongqing raised his foot again and stepped heavily on Shen Zhong's chest.

Shen Zhong screamed in pain and rolled on the ground.

"I didn't lie to you, Zhao Quezi is really not here!"

he wailed.

Shen Zhong's expression was full of helplessness, and he almost shed tears.

"What about others?"

Xiao Dongqing asked.

"How would I know! Zhao Quezi was hired as a fire general and is not here."

Shen Zhong replied, with a hint of tears in his voice.

"What about my mom? Where is she?"

Yang Xueqin asked anxiously.

Shen Zhong glared at her and wanted to curse.

But when he saw Xiao Dongqing's cold eyes, he swallowed his words back.

He is a timid man and doesn't dare to confront anyone head-on.

Then he pointed to a small door not far away and said.

"Zhao Quezi usually lives there, you can go and take a look."

Yang Xueqin didn't hesitate and immediately ran towards the small door.

Pushing open the shabby door, she saw her mother lying on the bed, looking very weak.

"mom!"

Yang Xueqin screamed, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mom, let me help you out. Let's get out of here."

Yang Xueqin said softly, carefully helping her mother up.

The two of them supported each other and slowly walked out of the house.

Xiao Dongqing noticed that Shen's mother's eyes were full of despair.

This caused a complex wave of emotions to well up in his heart.

Just as Yang Xueqin was about to take her mother away.

A group of scoundrels gathered around again and blocked the way out.

"You can't go!"

a scoundrel summoned up the courage to shout.

Xiao Dongqing frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the person who was speaking.

An invisible pressure followed.

The scoundrel's body began to tremble involuntarily.

"How much does Zhao Quezi pay you per month?"

Xiao Dongqing asked.

This question obviously caught the rogue off guard, and he was stunned for a moment before answering.

"what money?"

Xiao Dongqing asked in a surprised tone.

"You help out in his place, doesn't he pay you?"

The rogue was speechless for a moment. It was true that he was Zhao Quezi's subordinate, but he was just an ordinary gambler.

Most of the people here have nothing to do and make a living by robbing. They use the money they get to gamble.

Even if you win money, you still have to give Zhao Quezi a commission as tea money, so it’s not really a salary.

Xiao Dongqing understood all of this. The reason he asked this was to make these scoundrels realize their place.

"He didn't give you a penny, and now you're trying to stop me with a stick? What do you want?"

Xiao Dongqing asked back.

"Master Zhao said that guarding the place would give each person three cigarettes."

The rogue explained.

Xiao Dongqing said nothing, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to him, saying arrogantly.

"I can give you a whole bag!"

This move not only demonstrated Xiao Dongqing's strength.

It also makes people around understand who really has the final say.

Xiao Dongqing casually threw out a pack of expensive cigarettes, asking for six yuan per pack.

To this group of people who are used to seeing cheap goods, this seems like a fortune.
