Chapter 328 Her Eldest Brother Was a Stranger to Her

Brother Fang's face was so gloomy it could wring water out of it. The vote was scheduled for tomorrow morning, and Su Laosan had pulled this stunt on him today. Wasn't he trying to kill him?

hateful!

"Big brother..."

Suppressing his anger, Brother Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Keep searching."

Upon hearing this, the driver frowned deeply, giving a disdainful and speechless smirk.

"Passengers, please settle your fare. I need to go back to the city. I won't take you the rest of the way..."

Brother Fang glared at him, feeling that even the driver was bullying him.

“I can pay more.”

The driver pointed to the sky and said, "It's getting dark. It's dangerous for us to drive at night. I won't take you even if you offer more money."

"You're not making money when you have the chance, you..."

Brother Fang was furious. The driver glanced at him and chuckled, "You think I don't want to make money? You're really something else..."

The middle-aged man next to him laughed out loud when he heard him say that.

Brother Fang turned and glared at the uncle, about to say something to the driver, but the driver waved his hand, "Whatever you say, I'm not taking you anymore, just give me the fare..."

"...I won't give you the money if you don't lead us to the person."

Brother Fang felt that the driver was unreasonable and domineering, and that there was no need to reason with such a person.

Who wants to hear that?!

The driver got annoyed, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "You trying to renege on your debt? Let me tell you, I'm a trained fighter, so pay me right now!"

"You won't get your money back if we can't find the person!"

Fang Erniu stared blankly at him as if she didn't recognize her older brother. She only came to her senses when the driver grabbed her by the collar and was about to beat her up. She hurriedly went up to plead for him.

"Uncle, my brother is just too anxious. He didn't mean any harm. We really have an urgent matter to attend to. Please be lenient..."

The driver glanced at her, released Brother Fang's collar, and spat lightly.

"You're such a grown man, yet you're not as eloquent as your sister. What kind of person are you..."

After complaining about Brother Fang, the driver looked at Fang Erniu and sighed, saying, "Young lady, if I weren't accommodating, I would have left long ago. Taking you two on this trip has really worn out my tires. You should also advise your brother that if you can't find them, try again tomorrow. Searching for so long and still not finding them means you two aren't meant to be. Tell your brother to stop bothering you. If they really wanted to see you, how could it be such a coincidence that they've chased you to so many places and still haven't run into you? It's too far-fetched..."

Fang Erniu's eyes darkened, and she let out a soft "Ah".

He said, "Oh, I see. Well... never mind."

"How can we let it go? We can't let it go!"

Brother Fang immediately chimed in, his attitude very firm: "I must find that person today."

"Big brother, forget it. You can't force things. Let's go with Su Laosan..."

Fang Erniu forced a smile, "Perhaps we are truly destined to be apart."

Brother Fang was momentarily speechless.

What he told her was not the same thing at all!

He took a deep breath and said, "Erniu, let's put your business with Su Laosan aside for now. I need to find Su Laosan right now because of the village election. It's about whether I can continue to be the village secretary and work for the benefit of the villagers. It's about my future. Do you understand?"

Fang Erniu was momentarily stunned, but after realizing what she meant, she nodded repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, brother, I... What should we do now?"

Looking into her clear eyes, which seemed to reveal a kind of foolishness, Brother Fang felt both speechless and annoyed.

"Why don't you go back to the city and check? Maybe they've gone back?"

Fang Erniu thought of Arno's words and felt that it was unlikely that Su Laosan would return to the city, but continuing to search like this was not a good idea. She couldn't make a decision, so she decided to leave it to Fang Dage.

The driver looked at Brother Fang and said, "Anyway, I'm going back whether you guys go back or not. If you want to look for it, stay and look for it yourself. What are you doing, bringing a young girl along in the dark to help you with all this nonsense? And she's the village secretary, for goodness' sake..."

Brother Fang glanced at him sideways, then looked up at the dark, suffocating sky and the increasingly cold air.

He was furious. If Su Laosan really was hiding from him, he could search from dusk till dawn in the countryside and still not find him, and he might even catch a cold!

Damn it, this scoundrel doesn't even care about Erniu's feelings. He's clearly heartless and ungrateful.

"Have you made up your mind? If you have, I'll give you a ride back, and you can pay me when you get to the city. Otherwise, pay me the fare now," the driver urged.

Brother Fang had no other choice but to take Fang Erniu in the car and follow her back to the city.

"Where are you going?" the driver asked, glancing at Brother Fang through the rearview mirror.

Brother Fang thought for a moment, "The alleyway where we took your car."

He didn't believe that he wouldn't go home to sleep after dark, so he went to his house and waited for him!

When they arrived at their destination, the two wanted to get off the bus, but the driver didn't unlock it and told them to pay first. "...The round-trip fare is 121 yuan. Pay first before you get off. Don't you know the rules?"

"Why are there so many?"

Brother Fang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he stared at the driver in disbelief.

The driver clicked his tongue. "Village Party Secretary, don't you know how far you've traveled? I only charged you a third of the fare for the return trip, otherwise it would have been 180! I'm telling you, as the village party secretary, you're not trying to cheat me out of the fare, are you?"

Brother Fang's expression darkened further. "I didn't..."

"If you don't have it, just pay up." The driver was really annoyed by this guy's dawdling. He thought he had picked up a big fare, but it turned out the guy had given him a huge fare.

Brother Fang gritted his teeth and called to Erniu, "I left in a hurry and didn't bring any money. Give him the money first..."

"Brother, I didn't bring any money either."

Fang Erniu was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "I only have a few yuan of pocket money at home, and Su Laosan... he prepares everything for me, so I don't need any money."

As she finished speaking, her eyes reddened.

The driver sighed, "If this is how you're going to go, believe me or not, I'll take you to the police station?"

"What's the rush? We're not so poor that we can't afford a hundred or so yuan..."

Brother Fang looked annoyed and embarrassed. He glared at the driver and called to Fang Erniu, "Get out of the car and ask the Su family for about two hundred yuan. Give the driver one hundred and eighty yuan as fare."

“Brother, why don’t we ask him to take us straight home? If we go home and ask Grandpa and Grandma for money, I… I’m too embarrassed to ask Grandma for money.”

A sinister glint flashed across Brother Fang's eyes. "From now on, we'll all be family. Aunt Li can afford to run a health center and hire a nanny. She's not short of a hundred or so yuan. Go ahead and ask for it."

Fang Erniu pursed her lips.

She realized then that her older brother had been asking for something, not borrowing it.

"Big brother..."

Fang Erniu felt a little unfamiliar with this older brother. She shook her head and insisted on not letting the driver go to their village, but her older brother wouldn't let her say the village's name. The two siblings were at an impasse in the back seat for a while.

Having no other option, Brother Fang asked the driver to open the door, saying he would go down to collect the fare.

The driver refused to release the passenger.

He said, "You're really something else. You don't bring any money with you when you take the bus. Why should anyone give you money? Are they your father or your mother? Even your sister is too embarrassed to borrow money, how can you just ask for money like that? Fine, I'll take you to the police station and have your family bring the money to pick you up."

Brother Fang got anxious when he heard that.

He said sternly, "If you dare send us to the police station, I won't give you a single penny."

"Hey, you... a village party secretary who doesn't know the law? Aren't you a party member? There are still thugs disguised as village party secretaries these days? You're probably done being a village party secretary."

The driver glanced at Brother Fang through the rearview mirror, watching him make sarcastic remarks.

After speaking, the driver started the car and drove straight to the nearest police station.

Brother Fang's expression changed, and he lunged forward to grab the steering wheel from the driver.
