Chapter 107: 107 Driving Without Paying Attention (Part 1)
Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow listening to He Ximei’s words, "From what Auntie is saying, it looks like you’re planning to settle down in the city now."
He Ximei just smiled, "It’s just that I still have goods to sell, I figure why not sell them before going back."
Only fifty bottles had sold; there were still more than half left unsold.
"Auntie, if you want to sell, it’s that you might not sell them all."
He Ximei thought about it and agreed, "I was thinking, sell them all and then go back, gather some more peppers, and start making the sauce again."
At a price of one yuan fifty per bottle, earning roughly one yuan per bottle, and based on the sales these past few days, making a profit was certain, and not a small amount at that.
"Let’s settle the house repairs first. Once my dad is healed from his injury, he’ll take charge of buying peppers, I’ll be responsible for hiring people to make the pepper sauce at home, and you and my elder brother will handle the sales, so we need to take things slowly," Xiaofeng shared her plan with He Ximei.
Hearing this, He Ximei felt that Xiaofeng had arranged things quite well.
Buying peppers wasn’t physically demanding work; you just needed to know how to ride a tricycle. That job would suit Guaizi perfectly. As for herself, unable to ride a tricycle, She could ride with Pengzi, going from house to house.
Thinking about it, He Ximei frowned, "That means we’ll need to get another tricycle for our family."
One for Guaizi, and another for herself and Pengzi.
"Transportation is definitely essential," Xiaofeng said, placing items on the tricycle, "I’m going to the bus station first. Take your time on the road, you and Pengzi."
"Okay, I got it," He Ximei was still not giving up, "You take the vegetables home first, and Pengzi and I will make another trip to the train station."
It’s still early now, and making another trip and return trip would still be early, no hurry.
Hearing her say this, Xiaofeng didn’t comment. She carried the vegetables, said goodbye to He Ximei, and walked to the bus station alone.
Buses from the ’90s had a strong gasoline smell if you couldn’t withstand that smell, getting carsick was inevitable.
Xiaofeng found a seat and sat down next to the window.
"Sister Xiaofeng," someone took a seat beside her, appearing lean with a pair of glasses, carrying a backpack, around fifteen or sixteen years old.
Xiaofeng looked up and smiled at him, "Is school out for the weekend?"
This was Su Xiaotao’s younger brother, Su Zhiyuan, attending high school. Su Zhiyuan didn’t resemble Su Xiaotao much; Su Xiaotao looked more like Hu Xiulan, while Su Zhiyuan took after Su Changgeng more.
Except Su Zhiyuan was thin, while his dad was sturdy.
"Today’s Saturday," Su Zhiyuan said, grinning, "I finished my homework late yesterday, so I didn’t go back. When did you come down?"
"I came down yesterday afternoon," Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Why didn’t my sister come down with you? You guys used to come down together," in the past, the two of them always went to the city together, and his sister would even give him a few bucks.
"Your sister took a tumble and broke her leg. What happened to Su Xiaotao had nothing to do with me; she brought it upon herself."
"My sister took a tumble?" Su Zhiyuan frowned, "How could she be so careless?"
He would sometimes go home once a week or every two weeks, not paying much mind to domestic affairs. Now that he heard about his sister’s injury, he was somewhat surprised.
"She got frightened by a snake, then fell." Since Su Xiaotao herself said it was a snake, it must have been a snake.
"That’s just like my sister," Su Zhiyuan said, learning it was due to a snake, "How could she be so careless."
Xiaofeng chuckled silently. Right, how could she be so careless? That’s a question for the culprit, Ye Cheng, why he had to be so rough with a girl.
After disembarking from the bus, Su Zhiyuan went to borrow a bicycle from an acquaintance and headed back first. Su Xiaofeng walked slowly on the road back to the village by herself.
...
Ye Cheng parked his vehicle at the bus station, watching as Su Xiaofeng boarded the bus, his brows furrowed. What kind of look was that from that woman? His car was right beside her; could she not see it?
As the bus slowly pulled out of the station, Ye Cheng started his car and followed behind.
Not far from Ye Cheng, in a corner, a man with a big gold chain raised an eyebrow to another man, "Did you memorize that car’s license plate, and that person’s face? Make sure you remember them clearly. Find an opportunity to teach him a lesson."
Show that young man what it means to mess with Boss Wu.
The person beside him bit on a cigarette butt and took it out of his hand to throw it on the ground and stamped on it with his foot, "I thought we were dealing with some big shot, but it’s just a green kid. Don’t worry, since Boss Wu has offered a good price, I’ll naturally make sure he’s satisfied."
"Don’t underestimate this kid, his strength is surprising."
"No matter how strong he is, he needs to see whose turf this is." The man snorted coldly, "This is our Brother Huo’s turf. If he wants to live here peacefully, he’d better behave, or at Brother Huo’s word, his dreams of being a doctor and whether he can keep his hands are both up for question."
When you’re in the underworld, you have to know the rules.
And if you don’t, there’s only one outcome for you, and that’s to get lost.
"Okay, arrange this matter." The other side patted the man’s shoulder, "Let Boss Wu know once it’s settled; he’s waiting."
Last time on the street, he threw Boss Wu to the ground, we obviously have to get even.
The man agreed and got into an unlicensed compact car, driving off very quickly, as if in pursuit of another car ahead.
Ye Cheng glanced back surreptitiously and saw a car following him. He pulled out his brick phone and dialed a number.
After just one ring, the person on the other end picked up, "Young Master."
"There’s a car following me, take care of it." He didn’t have time to play cat and mouse with them, especially if he was late, Su Xiaofeng might have to walk back.
With that thought, he sped up the car a bit more.
Hearing that the Young Master was being followed, the person on the other end hung up quickly and drove out.
The unlicensed car behind was about to catch up with Ye Cheng’s car and was trying to block it in front when a truck came charging out from another intersection and made intimate contact with the unlicensed car.
With its heavy weight, the truck sent the unlicensed car crashing into the rice paddy by the roadside.
The truck driver hurried down to check on the casualties in the car, "Sorry, sorry, are you all okay?"
"How the hell do you drive, can’t you see the road?" They got the nerve to drive with their awful skills, unbelievable.
The man, named Huo Wu, all muscle and not looking like someone easy to deal with, got out of the car and grabbed the truck driver’s collar directly, "You blind or something when you drive? If you don’t want to live, just end yourself. You want to drag us down too?"
Just bad luck, they were almost catching up when this idiot came out of nowhere.
The truck driver was a young man, well-built and imposing, "Sorry, the brakes failed, the brakes failed."
"I think you’re just asking for a beating." Huo Wu glanced around and didn’t see Ye Cheng anywhere; his anger rose, and he threw a punch at the truck driver.
The truck driver, who was quite skilled himself, instantly caught the punch and said indifferently, "What, looking for a fight?"
It’s easy to spot a pro the moment they make a move.
Though the other person hadn’t used much strength, his fierce eyes made it clear he wasn’t someone to mess with, his palms were covered in calluses, almost as if—.
Huo Wu considered a possibility, sweating profusely, "Brother, I didn’t want to hit anyone; I just wanted to remind you, if your brakes are failing, you should get them fixed first. It’s not good to rashly drive like this. What if you hit a pedestrian, wouldn’t that be trouble for you too?"
"You’re right." The young man let go of his hand, "But your actions aren’t good; they make you seem like you want to hit someone. Let me tell you, someone wanted to fight me a few days ago, and I ended up crippling his hands. Do you want to try that?"
"Brother, which group are you with? I don’t think I’ve seen you around," Huo Wu said, confused. Is there anyone more formidable than Brother Huo in this territory?
"I’m just a businessman who travels around the country doing small deals." The young man flicked the dust off himself, "Of course you’ve never seen me."
"Huo Wu." The people with Huo Wu tugged at him, "Isn’t this guy bluffing? It was his truck that hit our car, we can’t just leave it at that. If the car is damaged this bad, how are we going to explain it to Brother Huo?"
That was Brother Huo’s only car, and he cherished it dearly. Now that it was damaged so badly, they couldn’t let it go.
"I think he looks like a martial artist." Huo Wu had just been intimidated by the man’s presence and nearly backed down, but then he remembered he had Brother Huo above him, and even if the other was formidable, he would still have to call him ’brother’ here.
With this in mind, he loosened his collar and changed his tone, "Listen here, kid, I don’t care where you’re from, but you hit my car today, and we need to have a proper talk about it. Tell me, how much are you prepared to pay?"
Pay money? The young man laughed.
They were following the Young Master and now expected him to pay them.
That, he had never considered.
