Chapter 273 The Noodle Shop Owner’s Family Situation
About seven or eight minutes later, a serving of drunken crab was served.
"You're in for a treat, kid. There are only five drunken crabs left. I might as well give them all to you."
The noodle shop owner came over with a plate and started jokingly.
Then, without waiting for Lu Feng to speak, he turned back to the kitchen and brought up a bowl of fragrant crab roe noodles.
"Uncle, this is not right."
Lu Feng looked at the crab roe noodles on the table and spoke.
"It looks like there are more than two servings of crab roe. You can't do that. You'll lose money."
It turned out that the noodle shop owner gave him too much crab roe, so much that he couldn't even see the noodles.
"Hahaha, so you're lucky. It's already so late today, there shouldn't be any customers, so I'll give you all the remaining crab roe. After you finish eating, I'll clean up and then close the shop."
The noodle shop owner said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't charge you more."
Seeing that Lu Feng wanted to say something, the boss interrupted him.
This made Lu Feng laugh and cry. He didn't mean that. He was just worried that his boss would lose money. After all, he knew that his boss's wife was not in good health and had been taking medicine.
"Uncle, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried that you'll lose money."
Unexpectedly, the boss laughed out loud when he heard this: "Hahaha, I gave it to you to eat and didn't throw it away, so strictly speaking it's not a loss. Besides, I have to thank you for helping me get rid of these crab roe."
"Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. After all, your aunt and I have eaten enough of these things. We can't bear to throw them away, and they won't be usable tomorrow."
When Lu Feng heard his boss's words, a warm feeling passed through his heart.
He had known the noodle shop owner for such a long time, so he naturally knew the real situation in the owner's family.
It is true that the crab roe will be unusable by tomorrow, but it is not like what the boss said, that he and his wife have eaten enough.
In fact, he usually took the leftovers from the day's sales home to feed his sick wife, as he himself was reluctant to eat them.
In other words, Lu Feng stole the food from the boss's wife today.
However, although he knew the boss's true situation, he did not expose him, but asked the boss to sit down.
"Uncle, how is Auntie's health these days?"
The boss sighed when he heard this question.
"What can I do? It's still the same. If her disease can't be eradicated in one go, she can only take medicine to suppress it."
"Why? You haven't saved enough money for the surgery yet."
Lu Feng took a sip of noodles and asked casually.
"No, it's not that easy to save up one million. Besides, the doctor at the Magic City Hospital said that even if we do the surgery, they only have a 50% chance of success, unless..."
The noodle shop owner suddenly stopped talking here.
"Unless you tell me what it is, I feel very uncomfortable being stuck in this state.
Lu Feng urged.
Seeing Lu Feng's concern for this issue, the noodle shop owner heaved a sigh of relief and said, "The chief doctor said that unless we can invite a foreign medical team to perform this surgery, the chances of success will be greatly increased."
"But I don't even have the most basic money, so how can I afford to hire those more expensive foreign medical teams?
When Lu Feng heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle, relax. You are such a good person, and you will definitely be rewarded."
"Hey, I hope so."
The noodle shop owner stood up and went back to the kitchen to clean up.
Lu Feng looked at the depressed back of the noodle shop owner and already had a plan in mind.
Soon, he finished the bowl of noodles and a few crabs. Just as he was about to stand up to pay, he heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door.
When I turned around, I saw that the beautiful girl was blocked at the door of the store by a group of thugs.
At this time, the noodle shop owner also heard the noise outside and came out.
When he saw the girl being surrounded, he walked out immediately, so quickly that Lu Feng didn't even have time to react.
"What are you doing? You're actually touching a little girl in broad daylight! Get out of here or I'll call the police."
The noodle shop owner came to the door, pulled the little girl over and protected her behind him.
"Oh, old man, you're already old, but you're still trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress."
A man with a tattoo on his arm said sarcastically.
"Yeah, you must have read too many martial arts novels. It's broad daylight, but it's so late at night, where is the sun?"
Another gangster with dyed yellow hair also laughed.
When the noodle shop owner heard the gangster's ridicule, a trace of anger flashed through his heart.
"Don't do anything evil here, or I'll call the police."
"Hahaha, call the police. I'm telling you, even if they come, they can't do anything to us."
The tattooed man in the lead said arrogantly, and then he took out a loan note and waved it in front of the boss.
"See? Old man, this chick owes us fifty thousand dollars. Here's the receipt, written clearly in black and white. Even if you call the police, it's useless."
Looking at the document in front of him, the boss frowned. If it was really as the gangster said, the police would be of little use.
But it was obvious that this group of hooligans were not here to simply collect debts, because when they looked at the girl, their eyes were full of lust.
Just when the boss didn't know what to say, another gangster spoke up.
"Girl, why are you hiding? We won't eat you. Don't you want to pay back the money you owe? Or do you plan to repay the debt with your body?"
And the words of this gangster successfully ignited the arrogance of the gangsters.
"Girl, if you really want to use your body to pay off your debt, I'll make the deal for you. How about two thousand dollars at a time?"
"Hahaha, Brother Long is right. This price is already very high. What do you think? Consider it. This method can pay back the money and make you feel comfortable. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
"That's right, don't worry, we will definitely make you comfortable. Who knows, you might even fall in love with us in the end."
The thugs' words made the girl hiding behind the noodle shop owner's face even paler.
"I... I don't have any money right now. Can you give me a few more days? I will find a way to pay you back." The girl's voice was filled with tears, and her eyes were full of helplessness and fear.
The noodle shop owner also helped out, saying, "You guys, so many grown men, are making things difficult for a girl. It won't sound good if you tell others about it. Why don't you give them a few more days and let them think of a solution?"
But the gangster who heard this was even more sarcastic: "Grace? What do you know, old man? She borrowed money from a loan shark, and the interest is compounded. Every day she delays, she has to pay more." After saying that, he pushed the boss viciously, making him almost fall down.
