Chapter 151: 151 This three hundred is what I loaned you (second update)

Liao Xianghe increasingly felt that staying was a mistake. He should have just gone home to get the money, throw it in this woman’s face, and let her see, see the might of Liao Xianghe.

Having been in his elder brother’s crew for three years and unable to produce even three hundred yuan, needing to work in the factory to pay off his debt, where would his face be if word got out?

Thus, the wisest course of action for him now was to immediately turn around and leave, go home to get the money, and then bring it over to the woman before him.

Su Xiaofeng stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and glanced at him, "Not leaving?"

"Who do you think you are?" Liao Xianghe had been in Xijiang County for three years, and if he had anything in abundance, it was hoodlum pride. He stared vividly at Su Xiaofeng, "Su Xiaofeng, right? Don’t think I’m afraid of you. Let’s be clear, I just agreed to stay out of respect for Captain Hong. My staying doesn’t mean I’m scared of you, I’ll tell you straight up, I might not have much after all these years in the county, but I’ve got plenty of money."

As he spoke, he stood up, stood near Xiaofeng like a wolf, his nose twitching as if sniffing something, "Three hundred yuan? It’s nothing to me, even thirty thousand is nothing in my eyes. It’s just money, and if I’m anything, I’m rich."

The more Liao Xianghe talked, the more he enjoyed it, pointing his fingers at Su Xiaofeng’s nose, "You just wait, I’m going to go home and get the money right now..."

Su Xiaofeng reached out her hand and restrained him.

Liao Xianghe tried to pull away, only to find his arm tightly caught by her and completely immovable. Disbelieving, he tried to pull away with force, to no avail.

"You, you..." Liao Xianghe hadn’t expected Su Xiaofeng to be so strong, and he couldn’t break free from her grip.

"I can’t stand it when people go on about ’old man this, old man that’ in front of me. How old are you to be acting like one to me? You don’t even have the qualifications," Su Xiaofeng said, releasing him with contempt in her eyes, "If you’re so rich, fine. I’ll wait for you here. Is one hour enough? If not, take two. If I don’t see the money, I will go find Captain Hong."

Because Su Xiaofeng had suddenly let go, Liao Xianghe lost his balance and nearly fell. He was used to bragging in front of his brothers and blurted out, "It’s just money, you just... I’ll be waiting."

Su Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, as if encouraging him, signaling, "Go on, then."

Liao Xianghe turned angrily. So what if she had a bit of strength? As if she could really do anything to him. Once he brought the money, he’d make sure she had a good look.

Su Xiaofeng watched him leave without stopping him.

"Brother Wu, Brother Wu," a lackey stumbled over, "Our ma fell in the fields, you need to go back quickly."

Liao Xianghe’s head buzzed—his mom had fallen?

He grabbed the man by the collar, "If you dare curse my mom, I won’t let you off."

"Brother Wu, it’s true. Everyone’s already taken ma to the hospital, but we didn’t have enough money. I went to look for you at your place, and Bangzi told me you were here, so I rushed over. Brother Wu, hurry up. I’m afraid if we’re late, it might be too late for ma."

Liao Xianghe’s legs went weak; how could that be? Although his ma was older and not in good health, she couldn’t be gone this quickly.

"Let’s go, let’s rush to the hospital," Liao Xianghe started to run.

"Wait," Su Xiaofeng called out to them.

Liao Xianghe turned to her with bloodshot eyes and a foul tone, "Su Xiaofeng, what is it? Afraid I’ll run off without paying? Don’t worry, Liao Xianghe is a man of his word. If I say I’ll compensate you, I definitely will."

"But right now, my ma is in the hospital, and I have to go."

It was clear that Liao Xianghe was a filial son, but the hospital needed money urgently now, and he seemed to be out of cash. Su Xiaofeng took out three hundred yuan from her pocket, "This three hundred is a loan from me, on top of the two hundred you already owe me. Now you owe me five hundred."

Liao Xianghe had not expected her to give him money. He—

Took the money, bowed deeply to Su Xiaofeng, and hurried away.

He Ximei stepped forward, looking puzzled as he left, "Xiaofeng, why lend him money? Those guys are gangsters, they can’t be trusted."

Lending money to a gangster was like giving them money to use directly.

The problem was, they might not even give you a word of thanks.

"I didn’t do it for him; it was for his ma in the hospital." Just now, she had felt that he wasn’t a bad person, just on a different path.

"You’ve always been soft-hearted since you were little. You wanted to teach him a lesson, but as soon as you heard his family member was sick, you went soft again," Oldman Su sighed.

His daughter, she was perfect in every way, just too soft-hearted.

"It’s no different from you," He Ximei shot him a disdainful look.

Su Lao’er chuckled. If they weren’t like him, whom would they resemble?

"Big brother, big brother," Liao Xianghe knelt in front of Baldie. "Big brother, my mom needs surgery, and the doctor said we need at least ten thousand yuan. I don’t even have a thousand on me, can you lend me ten thousand?"

His mom had injured her head and needed surgery, but the cost was not low. The doctor asked him to prepare ten thousand to start with. Over the years, basically having no substantial income, living paycheck to paycheck, he had no money at all.

Baldie took a puff from his big cigarette holder and kicked Liao Xianghe away with his foot. "You still have the nerve to ask me for money? Tell me, how are we going to settle the matter with my car?"

The issue with the car hadn’t been resolved, and now he was asking to borrow money, and not just a small amount, but ten thousand.

"Big brother," Liao Bang saw an opportunity and quickly stepped forward. "Our aunt took a fall while working in the fields, it’s quite serious. The doctor said she needs surgery."

"His mom isn’t my mom. Just because he comes asking I have to lend?" Baldie kicked him again. "You tell me, at your age, you can’t do anything right, not good at anything."

"Big brother," Liao Xianghe pled while kneeling on the ground. "I know I’ve embarrassed you, rest assured, after this is over, I’ll definitely follow big brother and work hard."

"Big brother," Liao Bang whispered something in Baldie’s ear, and after hearing it, Baldie seethed with anger.

He raised his hand and slapped Liao Xianghe across the face. "Useless thing, acting all high and mighty working for a woman, truly shaming me. From today onwards, you don’t need to follow me, get lost, just get out of my sight."

Useless thing, not a single thing pleasing to him, and now even Captain Hong was keeping an eye on him.

"Bangzi, what did you say to big brother?" Blinded by the stars from the slap, Liao Xianghe stared at Bangzi.

Liao Bang stood respectfully, "I just told big brother that Brother Five tried to cause trouble for the food factory but failed, and Captain Hong has his eye on him. Captain Hong also said that you have to work at the food factory to offset the compensation."

That was the truth, he wasn’t exaggerating.

"Is what Bangzi said true?" Baldie fumed. "You knew Su Xiaofeng and I had issues, yet you still work for her. Where do you put my face? Starting today, you no longer follow me. I don’t have a brother like you."

"Big brother, whatever you do to me is fine, can you just lend me ten thousand yuan first, my mom, she..."

"If it weren’t for my kindness back then, your mom would have died long ago. The year I saved your mom, it was because I saw potential in you and wanted to pull you in. Now that you’re no longer my brother, why should I care about your mom, get lost." He was Baldie, a man of transactions, not of sentimental bonds.

"Bangzi, please plead with big brother for me. If I can’t borrow the money, my mom... she won’t be able to have the surgery." Thinking his mother might die because of this, he couldn’t stop his tears from falling.

He’d been picked up by his mom, raised by her to this age. He was hoping to make lots of money so that she could lead a better life.

Now he couldn’t even afford his mom’s medical bills. How ironic.

Bangzi stood respectfully in front of Baldie, mockingly saying to Liao Xianghe, "Brother Five, look at you, so capable now, able to work and earn money. You ask your boss, get on your knees, beg a little, maybe she will lend it to you. You’ve just wrecked big brother’s car, and you’re thinking of borrowing money? Big brother is easygoing, but if it were me, you would definitely have to pay back this debt."

A small car is worth a lot, it’s not something three old ladies can compensate for.

"Bangzi, you..." Liao Xianghe looked at Liao Bang, disbelieving that these words were spoken by his good brother.

Bangzi had grown up with him from a young age and knew his situation the best. Now, not only did Bangzi not plead for him, but he also kicked him while he was down.

"Brother Five," Liao Bang said with regret. "You should leave. You’ve heard what big brother said, he wants you out. You don’t want me to have the guys throw you out, do you?"

Liao Xianghe got up from the ground.

He wasn’t stupid, so he understood. Bangzi wanted to clear him out to climb the ladder himself.

Such a good brother, huh, haha...

"And what are you?" Liao Xianghe glared at Bangzi. "You’re just a dog I raised. As for who you’ll obey in the future, I couldn’t care less."

Really thinking his spot was so grand. What’s so great about it? His mother needed surgery and he couldn’t even afford the fees.
