Wielding a club, Gu Fei weaved nimbly between the thugs, striking one on the leg and the next on the head.
Tie Niu didn't stand idly by. Although he knew Gu Fei was a capable fighter, he saw four grown men and worried she couldn't handle them alone. He charged forward and started pummeling one of the thugs without a second thought.
Xiao Lu and Pingzi, however, weren't family like Tie Niu was. They didn't dare get involved. They were just workers and didn't want to bring any trouble upon themselves.
Aunt Liu, who had been wiping tables, saw the commotion, grabbed a broom by the door, and charged out. She began swinging it wildly at the thugs.
The men were just common thugs with no real combat skill. Er Laizi got the worst of it from Gu Fei. She smashed her rolling pin against his head several times, so hard that it finally cracked on the last blow. Er Laizi clutched his head, writhing on the ground.
