Transmigrated to a parallel world, he became Fatty, the apprentice of傻柱 (Shazhu). With elderly parents above him and three sisters worrying about marriage below him, Fatty hones his culinary skills...
Perhaps Xu Damao's act was too over the top, which allowed Banggeng to grab Xiao Heiji's foot:
"Yes, yes, you're rich and powerful, so why did you have to falsely accuse me of stealing your radio?"
Hey you...
Banggeng said loudly, "The shop owner told me that you can make money as long as you get your hands on the game consoles. Just bring your TV out of the house, plug it into the street with an extension cord, connect the game console, and let the kids play. It's 50 cents for 15 minutes. Do you know how much money you can make in a day?"
When it comes to accounting, is there anyone better than the Yan family?
The old man calculated quickly: "50 cents for 15 minutes, that's 2 yuan for an hour! Wow, that's more than what the workers at your steel mill earn."
But to his surprise, the three women retorted, "You're dreaming. How much money could a kid have? Plus, he's clumsy and might break the machine. Are you going to pay for it yourself, or go to his house and ask an adult to pay for it?"
You want me to pay you back? I'll slap you across the face! You're even making money off kids, you've got a black heart!
Right now, in this courtyard, you can count how many businesses there are.
Even Li Xianying has recently gone into business and started working at Xu Damao's parts factory.
A dog like Bang Geng, whose belly can't even hold two ounces of sesame oil, dares to try and fool people? Does he even deserve it?
Seeing that everyone was starting to belittle him again, Banggeng had no choice but to continue using the same words that Smiling Tiger had taught him yesterday to fool him:
"Can you broaden your perspective?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Li, Chen Mengqi, Xu Damao, and Qin Jingru all focused their attention on the fat man.
He felt extremely uncomfortable: "Why are you all staring at me?"
Haha, isn't this "opening up one's perspective" thing your invention?
"..."
Banggeng, unaware of the trickery involved, continued, "Liu Guangfu, what do you have? You just made a little money trading rebar. Building relationships and engaging in trade won't last long!"
Liu Haizhong got anxious: "You, you, you're talking nonsense!"
"Bullshit! Second Uncle, you should really think about yourself. You're only good enough for what others don't even want. As for the real big stuff, can you compete with those kids from the compound?"
Bang Geng's words really hit the Liu family where it hurts!
They're just eating leftovers, and the fact that they have their current quotas is only because Director Lan is taking care of them out of old friendship.
Seeing that Liu Guangfu was speechless, Banggeng seemed to have regained his confidence: "I'm different, you just wait. I plan to rent a house and put a row of TVs in it, and connect them all to game consoles; Uncle, one game console earns 2 yuan an hour, but what if there are 5? Or 10!"
Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat. Ten units? That's 20 yuan an hour! Goodness!
Seeing that he had intimidated everyone, Bang Geng dropped another bombshell: "The boss I'm talking about, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, you two brothers also know him; do you remember Smiling Tiger?"
A smiling tiger?
This kid has shown up too!
It seems that 1984 was indeed the year all the missing persons returned. First Ran Qiuye, then Lou Xiao'e, and now even the Smiling Tiger has appeared.
During the special operation that year, Smiling Tiger was the first to run away when he saw that things were not going well, and then his whereabouts became unknown.
The Five Tigers of Red Star have officially become a thing of the past. Unexpectedly, he has now become a big boss.
It seems that Banggeng has really hooked up with a rich guy.
Xu Damao knew this person; back then, Yang Weimin took money and had someone bring him over to beat him up.
It was thanks to Fatty's intervention and his advance warning that Xu Damao was able to return to his hometown and hide in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
He had always suspected that these people were hired by Lou Xiao'e for revenge!
But despite his suspicions, Xu Damao couldn't find Lou Xiao'e to confront him.
Even now, no one knew that Lou Xiao'e had returned from Hong Kong and had given birth to a son for Fatty...
Despite Bang Geng bringing up even the Smiling Tiger, he ultimately couldn't escape being taken back to the police station.
Xu Damao's aggressiveness was one aspect; the other was that the three old men, Uncle Yi, Uncle Er, and Uncle San, couldn't stand Qin Huairu leaving Jia Zhangshi to them while they stayed home, afraid of making her spend money.
Liu Haizhong asked Liu Guangtian to call the police, and the person who came was an old acquaintance—Niu Qin.
After Niu Qin arrived, he first greeted the fat man, and then listened to everyone's feedback on the situation.
As for the stick-like thing, Niu Qin didn't give him a chance to argue at all.
The moment Bang Geng speaks, he'll yell at him: "Did I ask you? Shut your mouth!"
"..."
And so, Qin Huairu, Bang Geng, Xu Damao, and Liu Haizhong went back to the institute with Niu Qin.
The first two are "defendants," and the last two are "plaintiffs." Xu Damao sued Bang Geng for stealing from their house, and Liu Haizhong sued Qin Huairu for failing to support her elderly parents!
The Jia family will be badly hurt this time, even if they don't die.
Later that evening, Benleihu came to Fatty's house.
As soon as she entered the house, she asked him nervously, "I heard that Smiling Tiger is back, is that true?"
The fat man looked at him strangely: "What do you care if it's true or false? What's it to you?"
Benleihu gritted his teeth: "I'll settle the score with him! If it weren't for him, Da Niu wouldn't be crippled!"
The fat man clicked his tongue in disbelief: "That can't be right, wasn't Da Niu injured because of the Golden Tiger?"
Thunder Tiger was unusually violent: "What do you know? It was Smiling Tiger who betrayed them! One of the two who went to inform the other side was his confidant!"
What?! Such a thing exists!
Even the fat man couldn't sit still anymore: "That bastard, he's utterly inhuman!"
Seeing that his brother-in-law was also about to get involved, Ben Leihu calmed down instead: "You must not get involved; our family is so successful now, and we owe it all to you. Da Niu and I will handle this matter. It's time to settle this score properly."
The fat man grabbed him, preventing him from leaving: "Who do you think you are? You think you're still young and can take on seven or eight people by yourself, huh?"
Benleihu smiled sheepishly: "Don't worry, times have changed, and we won't be wielding machetes anymore. I just want to find him and teach him a lesson he'll never forget."
Seeing that Benleihu wasn't completely fired up, the fat man finally relaxed: "Then let's get our brothers to help us look for him. I'll also help you look for him. Once we find him, don't act rashly. I'll deal with him."
Benleihu looked suspicious: "You're here?"
The fat man nodded: "Didn't he approach Banggeng to introduce business to us?"
Thunder Tiger shouted, "He would be so kind?!"
The fat man smacked him on the head: "Of course you can see it, how could I not?"
