I Led the Entire Village out of Poverty and to Prosperity

Tiger Mountain Village, a provincial-level poverty-stricken village, had worn out three successive poverty alleviation cadres, yet it still maintained a stagnant attitude.

After a continuous ...

Chapter 42: Surrender

Bang!

Brother Xu was immediately furious. He slammed the table and stood up, pointing his finger at Gu Gang, "What the hell are you talking about? If you can't afford to lose, just get out! MMP, you smile when you win, but when you lose, you're just cheating. What do you mean?!"

Gu Gang immediately became intimidated and stammered, not daring to speak.

Liu Shuai also came out to persuade him, "Brother Xu, calm down. Gangwazi must have lost too rashly. His luck was really not good tonight. Calm down."

After finally calming them down, everyone counted the money and found out that Gu Gang had lost more than three thousand again.

Gu Gang had lost all the cash he had on him long ago and had already borrowed three thousand from Liu Shuai. Now he had no choice but to borrow another two thousand from Liu Shuai to settle the debt on the table.

Brother Xu took the money and said, "It's almost time, let's go! Let's drink and eat barbecue!"

When he stood up, he glanced at Gu Gang lightly but didn't call him.

Gu Gang sat in his seat in a daze, watching the girl who had been leaning on him get up and leave without any reluctance, leaving behind only the soft warmth and the empty smell of perfume.

Liu Shuai walked over to him, sat in the seat where Brother Xu had just sat, took out a cigarette box and threw one to Gu Gang, then lit one for himself.

Gu Gang lit it with trembling hands and said in a dry voice, "Brother Liu, I will return the money to you later."

Liu Shuai sneered, "Five thousand, can you afford it?"

Gu was just about to say that he had money, but suddenly realized that he had lost all of it tonight.

He said quickly, "I will do it as soon as possible. In a few days, I will win back and pay you back. I lost so much tonight, I can win so much next time! I've always had good luck, today was just an accident!"

Liu Shuai sneered and said nothing, "You still don't understand? You have already offended Brother Xu with what you just said. How can you still come to this table? Besides, you have no capital left, so why are you still fighting?"

Gu Gang said anxiously: "Brother Liu, lend me another thousand and I will definitely pay you back!"

Liu Shuai ignored him and said, "Gather the five thousand yuan in three days and return it to me, otherwise you should know my ability."

He looked at Gu Gang and said slowly, "We are brothers. When I borrowed money from you, I was nice to you. When you pay me back, you have to be nice to me too. What do you think?"

Gu Gang panicked all of a sudden, stood up and said anxiously: "Brother Liu, don't be like this, give me a few more days."

"It seems like you really didn't understand what I just said." Liu Shuai flicked the ash from his cigarette. "You asked me to borrow money, how long did I wait to give it to you? Less than a minute. I asked you to pay me back in three days. Isn't that enough time?"

"Brother Liu!" Gu Gang pleaded, "You know my family's situation. How can I give you 5,000 yuan in such a short time?"

Liu Shuai put his feet on the table, glanced at him, and said indifferently: "What does it have to do with me? I just want my money."

Gu Gang was dumbfounded. He walked around the table, walked to Liu Shuai's side, squatted down, and said humbly: "Brother Liu, you see, we have been having a good time these days. I will treat you to drinks and cigarettes when I win money. Please be generous and give me some time. I will slowly collect the money and pay you back! I really can't take out that much!"

His eyes rolled, and he suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "How about this, we are now setting up that cooperative, saying that each family can earn tens of thousands tomorrow, and I will pay you back then, and give you an additional 200 interest, how about it?"

"Get lost!"

Liu Shuai suddenly got furious and kicked Gu Gang, causing him to stagger. "How dare you mention a cooperative to me? My financial resources were cut off by your damn cooperative! I won't bother with you, but you really think I'm easy to bully, don't you?"

Gu Gang quickly denied it, but was beaten up by Liu Shuai.

He crouched on the ground, holding his head, until suddenly the punches and kicks stopped.

He raised his head cautiously and saw Liu Shuai sitting back in his chair, smoking silently and thinking about something.

"It's not impossible to give you some extra time. I can even exempt you from it."

Liu Shuai's voice sounded slowly, and it sounded like heavenly music to Gu Gang's ears. He rushed over, squatted beside Liu Shuai, and held his thigh, "Thank you, Brother Liu, thank you, Brother Liu!"

"You haven't listened to my terms yet."

"I can do anything as long as Brother Liu agrees to exempt me from it."

“So I want your family to withdraw from your cooperative?”

Gu Gang fell silent for a moment.

"Tsk!" Liu Shuai sneered contemptuously, "Your cooperative has so many leaders backing it up, who dares to mess around? If you don't want your life, I will."

Gu Gang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not forced to withdraw from the cooperative, everything would be fine.

Even if he was a jerk, he knew that was their family's hope to turn things around and make money.

Liu Shuai leaned over and looked at him, "Help me collect this year's salvia miltiorrhiza in your third group."

Gu Gang looked up in confusion.

Liu Shuai said calmly: "Next year your herbs will be sold to the pharmaceutical factory. I want to make an extra year's worth of money, is that not okay?"

"But the salvia miltiorrhiza in our group has been contracted to the pharmaceutical factory!"

Liu Shuai looked at him with disdain. "So how can you make money with a brain like yours? The pharmaceutical company just said you can take it, but it didn't forbid you to sell it."

Gu Gang seemed to understand something, and heard Liu Shuai continue: "As long as my price is higher than that of the pharmaceutical factory, they will not sell it..."

After a detailed explanation, Gu Gang left full of hope again.

Liu Shuai smiled and called Brother Xu.

"Where is it? Save your seat for me!"

"Done! You guys helped me so much, it must be my treat tonight!"

......

That night, Gu Gang returned home and lay on the bed, his mind lingering on what Liu Shuai had told him, and he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
