Hearing that, Gu Chunyang's entire face turned ferocious, the flesh on his face trembled

He grabbed Gu Chunzhu's arm and said, "You damn girl, have you forgotten that I'm you brother? You relied on me to support you and get laid off. I'm your backer!"

"When did I get laid off, I didn't do anything shameful." Gu Chunzhu threw his hand and touched her arm, rubbing the piece of meat that had been pinched.

Seeing he couldn't get ahold of her, Gu Chunyang kicked her bucket of shrimp.

The water spilled on the ground and large pieces of slate becomes wet.

"What are you doing?!! Are you deliberately making trouble!!?"
Gu Chunzhu screamed and the sights of the vendors around her all looked over. The customers coming and going slowly dreaded.

Gu Chunyang's eyebrows wrinkled, clenching his teeth tightly. Unexpectedly, this damn girl made a big noise.

He waved his hand and said to the people around him:
"It's all our family's business. There's nothing to look at! Get lost!" 

"What family, you kicked my bucket! you just want to wreck havoc."
Gu Chunzhu shouted sharply.
Gu Chunyang had already seen that she was being intentional.

"My name is Gu Chunyang, your name is Gu Chunzhu and we are relatives. What happened to being siblings?"
Gu Chunyang tried hard to calm the situation. Unfortunately, it was too late and the movements on this side had alarmed the people in Guanjie.

Seeing that everyone was dispersing, it must be the people in charge of the Streets coming.

Gu Chunzhu knew that her purposed was achieved, her 15 copper was not paid in vain. She took her sleeve and covered it on her face.

She pretended to choke:
"When I was not married, you bullied me. Now I set up a stall to earn some money. You also bullied me. You want to ask me for money to buy wine, whore and gamble. Where do I owe you?"

"You, you..." Gu Chunyang didn't expect that the money he wanted would not arrived, instead he alarmed many people. He was unable to speak for a while.

"Someone is making trouble?" Hongliang's voice came loud as a bell.

Gu Chunzhu took a little peek from her sleeves that was covering her eyes and saw a young man standing in front of her

He was wearing a long robe, his arms like those of an ape (mascular and long)
and his waist slim. There was also a scar on the end of his eyebrow, athough it wasn't vicious, its scary.

"Boss Long is here."

A man standing on the side handed a tomato to eat at Long dàgē.
He looked at Gu Chunzu and Gu Chunyang and asked:
"What happened here?"
(dàgē= brother)

"He made trouble at my stall and kicked my bucket. The shrimp on the ground are almost dying."
She didn't expect to attract the boss of this street directly.

Gu Chunzhu took off the sleeves that was covering her face, there were no tears in her eyes. With her words, the prawns on the ground also cooperated struggling and dying.

At first, Boss long thought that this bastard must have bullied this little woman, but looking at Gu Chunzu's bright eyes. Did this woman really cried?

"Boss Long, don't get me wrong. She is my sister. Im just here to catch up with her." Gu Chunyang just like drinking and gambling but seeing the boss of the street, his legs trembled.

 He had heard the name of Boss Long but didn't expect to see him here. He could only cry inside and pull Gu Chunzhu's sleeve to beg for mercy.

But Gu Chunzhu will not let him bypass!

"I am not familiar with him. Since I paid the stall tax, you should protect my stall. This man kicked my bucket. How do you deal with him?"

Boss Long cast a deep look at Gu Chunzhu and saw the little woman unafraid, did she regard him as a gunman. He did not speak.

Seeing there was chance, Gu Chunyang hurried to Boss Long's leg.
Grabbing his feet and wailing:
"Boss Long, I admire you most, all this is just a misunderstanding."
After saying that, he gave Gu Chunzhu a desperate look.

Where did his confidence came from? Did he think she would cover it up for him? Gu Chunzhu sneered in her heart.
If she could not teach him a good lesson this time, there would be another time. She would not be soft-hearted .

Seeing Gu Chunzhu's pitiful misty eyes. A bit of anger flashed in the eyes of Boss Long, he kicked Gu Chunyang away

After kicking him off, he stepped on his back. Boss Long looked down at Gu Chunyang with half of his face attached on the floor.
"Are you aware of the trouble you made?"

"I'll pay for it... "Gu Chunyang vaguely confessed.

    Boss Long released him

Recently, there were many prawn sellers on the street. He basically understood the market price and glanced at the prawns on the ground. He said:
"Give twenty coppers" 

"So much?" Gu Chunyang's face changed, his mouth crooked.

He was stared by the boss cannibalistic eyes and dared not to linger. He took out twenty copper plates from his arms. However, this money was Hao shi's who asked him for an errand to buy wine in the town. He threw it towards Gu Chunzhu.

"If you dont follow rules here, ten times compensation." Boss Long did not lift his eyelids.

Twenty copper plates fell on the ground and Gu Chunzhu's face also turned ugly. Her index finger pointed to Gu Chunyang and said: "You pick it up for me and hand it over!"

"I paid you, dont push your luck bitch"
Gu Chunyang dared not to make mistake in from of Boss Long. His voice full of resentment was squeezed out between his clenched teeth.

Gu Chunzhu wanted this over and hurried away. Her lips twitched, unmoved, "
"Did you give me the money you paid me? You gave it to the ground. If you don't pick it up one by one, I will take it as if you didn't pay me . Boss long, since this man caused trouble on my stall and didn't pay for it, you can beat him up and I'll even pay for it."

"I.... I pick it up, I'll pick it up!"
Before Boss Long even made a move, Gu Chunyang was already so scared.
Like a cat bending his waist, he picked up the 20 copper plates he had thrown out.

After putting the copper plate in Gu Chunzhu's hands, he slipped away on foot.

Armed with the twenty coppers on her hand, Gu Chunzhu looked at Gu Chunyang's fleeing back and hooked her lips, but found that the tall figure in front of her was still standing infront.

Those cold eyes are very transparent, as if he knows what Gu Chunyang was thinking in a glance.
Thinking of his help, she had to say a few good words: "Boss Long Thank you for today’s business. Tomorrow I’ll sell shrimp. Come and I’ll give you enough to eat.”

 “Okay.” Boss Long raised one eyebrow and left with his hands behind his back.

After Boss Long left, the onlookers also dispersed. Uncle Zheng smiled at Gu Chunzhu, "Little sister-in-law is a lucky girl, you have gotten twenty copper and taught your elder brother a lesson."
