Chapter 381: Chapter 380 Poor Little Boy

Old Zhang Fifth made his start in Beiguan Town with underground boxing matches, and the people of Beiguan Town became wealthy because of these boxing matches as well.

For Beiguan Town, these underground boxing matches represented the most crucial period of time.

During this period, it was a golden opportunity for the people of Beiguan Town to make money, and it was also when Fifth Brother’s income was the highest.

Therefore, during this period, Fifth Brother had his prohibitions. Unless it was something particularly serious, he strictly forbade the people of Beiguan Town from getting into disputes with those who came to participate in the boxing matches.

No matter how much the outsiders fought among themselves, the locals absolutely could not have conflicts with them. After all, this involved the order of Beiguan Town under Fifth Brother, as well as Fifth Brother’s own reputation issues.

Now that Su Yang brought up Fifth Brother, it immediately alarmed everyone around.

They remembered an incident where Fifth Brother punished a local. That local tried to rip off a customer by charging over three thousand for a meal without first discussing the price. The matter was taken directly to Old Zhang.

In this regard, Fifth Brother was very ruthless. Actually, he was quite tolerant of the locals. During the May Dragon Head Meeting, you were allowed to overcharge customers, but you had to agree on the price beforehand. As long as the price was set, even if you charged three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand for a meal, Fifth Brother wouldn’t intervene. However, if you didn’t set a price and charged more than half above the market rate, Fifth Brother would severely punish you.

That local’s whole family was eventually driven out of Beiguan Town by Fifth Brother. Along with them, some of their relatives lost a whole year’s dividends, leading to their becoming social pariahs, pointed at by thousands.

Su Yang’s matter was neither big nor small. But if it really reached Fifth Brother, who knew what the result would be? After all, there was indeed some suspicion that they had bullied Su Yang because he drove an old car!

In the end, one of the elders, being astute, immediately smiled and said, "Ah, so you’re guests here to participate in the boxing matches. Chang Yong, what you did wasn’t right, how could you be rude to our guests? Come on, come on, let’s disperse, let’s not affect our guests’ mood!"

The crowd scattered at once. Although Chang Yong was reluctant, he had to hurry and follow suit. If the conflict continued, it would definitely lead to trouble.

The young boy breathed a sigh of relief and quickly whispered, "Big brother, shall I... shall I take you home first?"

"Hmm!" Su Yang nodded and drove toward the boy’s home.

The boy’s family lived in a remote area, on the outskirts of a small woodland behind Beiguan Town.

According to the boy, this place was where the villagers of Beiguan Town used to live because there was a river here, and the village was originally established in this vicinity.

Fifth Brother came and made sweeping changes. He developed a small town three miles away, complete with tap water and electricity, and without the need for farming, the villagers mostly moved over there.

The boy’s family was in rather straitened circumstances; his parents had long passed away, leaving only a grandmother to support him and his sister. Although Fifth Brother had developed the town well, they didn’t have the money to build a new house, so they couldn’t move into town and still lived in the old house here.

Just as Chang Yong had mentioned earlier, the boy’s family still lived in an old earthen house from long ago, with a dirt road leading to their front door. There were no neighboring houses nearby; it was a tranquil environment.

After getting out of the car, the boy immediately ran into the house, shouting loudly, "Grandma, we have guests. Rest up, I’ll entertain them!"

Su Yang and Ye Wantong walked behind. Ye Wantong had never been to such a place before. Yet, she didn’t show any disgust; on the contrary, she was quite intrigued by the environment. This kind of rural pastoral life was something she had never experienced before.

Walking into the yard, a yellow dog immediately came over wagging its tail and affectionately circled around Su Yang and Ye Wantong. Not far away, five little puppies wobbled over and even pounced directly onto Su Yang and Ye Wantong’s legs.

"Wow, so cute!" Ye Wantong finally showed a rare smile on her face, bending down to touch one puppy then scratch another, playing with great enjoyment.

"Da Huang, go away, don’t bother the guests!" the little boy scolded, and Da Huang, taking the hint, led the little puppies away. However, one little guy stayed persistently at Ye Wantong’s feet, leaving the little boy with no choice but to let it be.

"It’s okay, the little fella is quite cute!" Ye Wantong simply picked up the little puppy and held it in her arms, affectionately stroking its head.

The little guy seemed to enjoy the attention and finally lay comfortably in Ye Wantong’s arms, with its round belly upturned and its head resting unashamedly against Ye Wantong’s ample bosom.

Entering the house, the mess Chang Yong had spoken of was nowhere to be seen. On the contrary, the house was very tidy.

Although the house was old and lacked any valuable furniture, it was indeed very clean.

Inside were a total of three rooms. From one room, there emanated a medicinal smell, and Su Yang saw an old lady lying on a bed, presumably the little boy’s grandmother.

The door of another room was locked tight. The boy led Su Yang and Ye Wantong to the last room and said, "Big brother, big sister, you’ll stay in this room tonight. I’ve already cleaned it up, and the bedding is freshly washed. Rest for a bit first, I’ll heat some water for your baths, and then I’ll cook dinner for you!"

Su Yang was stunned for a moment, "Just one room?"

"Ah, we only have this one room left," the little boy looked surprised. "Do you need another room?"

It was obvious that the little boy thought of Su Yang and Ye Wantong as a couple, which is why he had arranged them in the same room.

Su Yang felt somewhat helpless, and Ye Wantong’s face flushed red.

"What about this room?" Su Yang pointed at the locked room.

"That one is my sister’s," the boy apologized. "My sister doesn’t like others entering her room, so when she goes to school, it’s always locked..."

"This..." Su Yang hesitated. If that was the case, would he really have to share a room with Ye Wantong?

Just then, an elderly voice came from inside the house, "Dongdong, have you prepared the money for your sister’s schooling this week?"

The boy’s face turned awkward as he swiftly replied in a loud voice, "Grandma, don’t worry, I’ve got it ready."

Having said this, the little boy offered an apologetic smile, "Sorry, my grandma’s hearing isn’t good, she probably doesn’t even know about you coming over yet!"

At this point, the boy appeared embarrassed and spoke in a low voice, "Big brother, big sister, I know my family’s conditions aren’t good. This... this is mainly because my sister is studying outside and staying at the boarding school, requiring living expenses every week. I... I haven’t managed to completely gather this week’s living expenses, so... I’m really sorry for the inconvenience..."
