CHAPTER 256: CHAPTER 256: HELP HER BEAT PEOPLE UP

As soon as Su Wenbing heard this, he immediately got nervous: "Mom, are you three okay? Did those two make things difficult for you?"

Liu Cuilan picked up the enamel cup on the table and took a big gulp of water, then waved her hand and said, "No, no, they just asked if I knew a family with the surname Su, whose daughter works at the department store."

"When I heard that, I knew they were obviously talking about our third child, so I deliberately chatted with them a bit and learned that they were here looking for our third child, then they left."

"However, I got the feeling that those two really don’t look like good people."

Xu Zhaodi patted the little stone in her arms and agreed, "Absolutely, those two looked fierce and terrifying, even scared the little stone to tears, they seemed like people from the underworld."

While the two were talking, suddenly someone banged loudly on the front gate outside.

Everyone was startled. Who would come by at this hour?

"Su Xiaoxiao, hurry up and open the door, I know you’re home."

It was Zhang Dongmei’s raised voice coming from outside the gate. Hearing it was her, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

What’s wrong with Zhang Dongmei? Why come to her house so late at night?

Su Xiaoxiao cursed as she walked over to open the door.

"Zhang Dongmei, are you out of your mind? What are you doing knocking on my door so late? Stuffed yourselves too full?"

Just as she finished swearing, she saw two fierce-looking men standing behind Su Xiaoxiao, and the rest of the words got stuck in her throat.

Zhang Dongmei showed an eager-to-watch-the-drama stance: "I’m not the one looking for you, it’s these two comrades here to see you."

She said with excitement to the two men behind her: "Comrades, this is the Su Xiaoxiao you are looking for, who works at the department store."

These two people didn’t look like anything good at first glance. Zhang Dongmei was startled when she first saw them, and if it weren’t to make trouble for Su Xiaoxiao, she probably wouldn’t have dared to deal with them.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered with her, frowned as she looked at the two men behind her, the one on the left was big and burly, with an old scar on his cheek, looking very unapproachable.

The one on the right was of medium build, but was so skinny that he looked sharp and rat-faced.

Upon a first look, neither of them looked like good people. Su Xiaoxiao evaluated them in her mind and subconsciously took a step back to maintain a safe distance from them.

She thought to herself, if these two dare do anything to her, she’d shout loudly and call out the neighbors.

No matter how tough they are, two fists can’t rival four hands.

Even just a few of the aunties next door with their fierce nature, each with a mouthful of spit could drown these two.

Zhang Dongmei, eager to see the drama unfold, quickly moved aside to make room for the show, feeling immense pleasure at seeing Su Xiaoxiao in a bind.

Su Xiaoxiao placed her hand on the courtyard door, ready to close it and call for help at any moment.

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

Skinny stepped forward and looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down, he didn’t expect that the legendary capable Comrade Su was just a girl who looked eighteen or nineteen years old.

Could it be that they found the wrong person?

He had heard that this girl had quite the connections, able to get her hands on things like electric sewing machines that no one else could, and even high-demand college exam prep materials recently.

He spoke with some uncertainty: "I heard you can get your hands on those mini electric sewing machines?"

In response to his inquiry, Su Xiaoxiao neither confirmed nor denied, but looked at him and asked: "Why are you asking?"

"Skinny, why are you being polite? She’s just a little girl, I could handle three like her with one hand!"

Before Skinny could respond, Liu Dadan stepped forward fiercely: "Hey, little girl, quickly tell us where you get your mini sewing machines, or else..."

As he spoke, he raised his thick right arm, flexing it so that even through the fabric, the bulging muscles were visible: "Will you tell us? If not, I’ll be rude to you!"

While talking, he suddenly swung his fist and hit the door frame beside him.

With a bang, the man’s face visibly contorted, and his face turned a shade of white.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him sympathetically, the door frame was built with bricks, and this guy hit it with his bare hand, he’s a real man.

She couldn’t help but ask: "Doesn’t your hand hurt?"

Liu Dadan forced a calm face: "This... is nothing, I’m known for my iron arms, so you better fess up, otherwise I’m going to get rough with you."

Such intimidating words, Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with an expectant expression: "Comrade, do you see that big rock over there? I want to split it in half, could you smash it open for me?"

Liu Dadan: "..."

Looking at the huge stone near the entrance that would require a full embrace to wrap around, Liu Dadan silently averted his gaze: "Why should I listen to you? Just because you ask, I should smash it? That’s not very dignified."

Skinny rolled his eyes at him, this big idiot really had a screw loose, they were there to ask for a favor, not to make enemies.

He promptly pushed Liu Dadan aside and approached with a smile, pulling out a box of cigarettes from his pocket which was clearly not a cheap brand.

"Comrade Su, do you smoke? Let’s have a cigarette and chat slowly."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Zhang Dongmei, who had been eagerly awaiting some drama, was dumbfounded. Seriously, these two came in so aggressively, and it turned out just like this...

It felt like being constipated for days, finally feeling the urge, yet as soon as you crouch over the toilet, everything gets stuck again.

It was exasperating, truly frustrating.

Before Su Xiaoxiao could say a word, Skinny already started to put the cigarettes away, making it clear he never really intended to offer them.

"Sorry, forgot that ladies don’t smoke."

The cigarettes cost several dimes per box, he normally didn’t even spare himself, and here he was just putting on a show to get closer, he wouldn’t really give them away.

As he spoke, he was about to put the cigarettes away, but unexpectedly, a slender white hand swiftly snatched the cigarettes from him, "Then I won’t stand on ceremony, I’ll take it back for my brother and my boyfriend to smoke, thanks."

Skinny: "..."

He really thought he was shameless enough, but this person was even more brazen.

Just as he was about to retort, he heard Su Xiaoxiao say, "Are you asking about the mini electric sewing machines? You really asked the right person."

Skinny was about to ask for the cigarettes back, but hearing these words, he lost the thought instantly. The cigarettes were worth it.

A box of cigarettes for the sewing machine supply chain, it was too valuable.

Just as he thought of this, he saw Su Xiaoxiao pointing to Zhang Dongmei beside her: "I can tell you, but... you have to help me with something, that woman is my arch-enemy, help me beat her up first."

Upon hearing this, the three people present besides Su Xiaoxiao all had their expressions change.
