Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Extreme Anger (3 more)
Diao Ruru was very happy today.
Since her older brother went missing, this was the first time she had felt such happiness.
During the days her brother was missing, she was almost worried every day.
Upon opening her eyes each morning, she faced the family’s meals and various expenses.
Money, money, money, money, money.
Without her big brother, the burden of life fell entirely on her shoulders.
Her younger brother, De Yi, tried to find work despite his poor health, but he couldn’t handle long-term jobs and no one employed him for short-term ones either.
Often he would come back home after a whole day out, hungry, without having earned a single penny, still waiting for her to start cooking.
During those days, Diao Ruru nearly couldn’t hold on, and several times considered death as an escape.
Then one day, people from the Black Tiger Gang arrived, bringing the deed of gambling debts incurred by her brother.
At that moment, Diao Ruru felt a darkness before her eyes; the enormous gambling debts were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
Diao Ruru was on the verge of breakdown, even considering degrading herself and selling herself to the casino, in exchange for a way out for De Yi, once and for all.
Unexpectedly, De Yi insisted on joining the Black Tiger Casino as a free worker to pay off the debts to prevent her from selling herself.
It was De Yi’s actions that day that made Diao Ruru decide to survive.
No matter how difficult life was.
Unexpectedly, after that day, it was a turning point for the siblings.
Now, not only did Diao Ruru have five taels of silver on hand, her brother De Yi also had connections in the Foolish Underworld.
Now, Diao Ruru walked with a light, bouncy step, as if regaining the youthful vitality that a girl of her age should have.
"1 tael of silver for groceries, then bed sheets, new clothes, De Yi’s shoes are worn out too, need to buy a pair..."
Diao Ruru was tallying expenses on her fingers.
"1 tael of silver for a reward, to post a notice, to have someone help find my big brother."
Alive we must see the person, dead we must see the body.
Previously without the means, now that there was money, Diao Ruru held onto the hope that her brother was still alive.
"The remaining 3 taels of silver, save it for De Yi’s marriage!"
"These days, young girls are very precious, and De Yi loves to squander money, he definitely won’t save for his wife’s sake, I still need to worry about it."
"Now that De Yi has contacts in the Foolish Underworld, seeking a job like sweeping or similar, earnestly working for a few years, then marry a wife, our Diao family can have descendants."
Diao Ruru was happily making mental calculations.
She had never felt such beautiful longing and anticipation for the future.
"After De Yi is married, then I... I might also find someone..."
Thinking about herself, Diao Ruru’s entire face blushed.
But thinking about suitable or liked people, she found a blank.
The person she most often interacted with was only her brother, De Yi.
Busy with survival each day, barely making ends meet, there was no time to think about romance.
The warmth on her cheeks slowly faded, suggesting that marriage was still far off for her.
When she arrived at the fabric shop.
"Aunt Hong, please show me that green fabric."
"Try the black one too."
"Blue... is it too bright?"
"Pink? Ahaha, it’s not for me, heeheehee! No, it’s not some scholar I fancy, definitely not what you’re thinking!"
Diao Ruru was very chatty, her joy and happiness almost overflowing.
At the same time, the gradually increasing number of bags in her hands also indicated something.
She was very wealthy today.
From the fabric store, to the tailor’s, to the rice shop, to the roadside cobbler...
Diao Ruru had overspent a little, by 300 wen.
But those expenses were necessary.
Like bed sheets, brooms... when there was no means at home, substitutes could be used, but now that there were means, naturally it was better to switch to better ones to make life more comfortable.
Mostly, they were essential living goods.
"De Yi will definitely understand..."
Diao Ruru felt a bit guilty.
Hopping and skipping, she toured the usual streets, and carried bags big and small back home.
Looking at today’s spoils, Diao Ruru was filled with happiness.
She was so immersed in this happiness that she didn’t notice some shopkeepers’ gazes had changed when looking at her.
Some people who rarely appeared on this street were here today.
So, as she hummed a tune that wasn’t quite a song and happily washed the new dishes with clean water.
She didn’t realize that her wonderful day would end so abruptly.
Bang!!
A sound as loud as thunder suddenly resonated, echoing throughout the house.
That old wooden door which had stood for so many years.
In this loud noise, it broke into several pieces, fell to the ground, and was trampled over.
More than ten people broke in and surged into her home.
Clang.
The stunned Diao Ruru dropped the dish in her hand, shattering it into pieces on the floor.
And this was happening just as the sun was about to set.
"What, what are you doing?!"
"What?"
The leader of the group grinned.
He walked over to a chair, sat down, lifted his feet onto the Diao family’s old dining table, and glanced sideways at Diao Ruru.
"Diao Ruru, you really have the nerve of a bear and the gall of a leopard."
"You have money, and instead of thinking about returning it to the Black Tiger Gang, you use it to buy things everywhere."
The man’s smile turned increasingly ferocious, his tone unfriendly.
"Do you know that all you’re using is the Black Tiger Gang’s money!"
"Your money is our money!"
"Who gave you the permission to use that money without our consent!"
Diao Ruru was baffled.
What kind of robber’s logic is this?
She was enraged on the spot.
"This, this is our own money! It’s the money Diao Deyi gave me!"
The man couldn’t help laughing.
"Diao Deyi gave you the money? Do you know that Diao Deyi is our casino’s dog!"
"What money does he have? His money is the casino’s money, the Black Tiger Gang’s money!"
"To take the money that should belong to us, do you know your Brother Hu is very angry now!"
"When Brother Hu gets angry, do you know what happens?"
Brother Hu looked at Diao Ruru, who was biting her teeth and staying silent.
His lips curled up smugly.
Dealing with such young girls, I, Brother Hu, am very skilled.
She just needs to be straightened out.
He looked over his shoulder at the dozen or so underlings.
"You guys know what Brother Hu does when he gets angry, right? Tell her! Tell her loudly!"
Immediately, one of the underlings raised his hand.
Hmm?
Even Wei Kai has become clever?
Brother Hu was somewhat surprised by the underling who raised his hand.
This underling usually kept a low profile, but today seemed like he wanted to show off.
Brother Hu glanced from the corner of his eye at Diao Ruru, sizing her up, probably understanding why Wei Kai had suddenly smartened up.
No matter, let him have a chance to show off.
After all, I’m not going to let her go to him, just let him have a taste of love’s bitterness.
Young people, they need to be toughened up.
"Wei Kai, you tell us, what does Brother Hu do when he’s angry?"
The called-upon Wei Kai stepped out of the line excitedly and loudly declared.
"When Brother Hu is extremely furious, he can slide tackle and kill a tiger!"
