I don't know how long they were silent, one of the middle-aged men suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank the wine in it, then quietly put the glass back on the table.
The unextinguished cigarette butt was also pressed into the wine glass.
He let out a breath and stood up. "Let's just leave it at that. People are demoralized now. There's no point in dragging it out any longer. Brothers have to live, too. Instead of forcing everyone to stay together and wait for an unknown future, it's better for us to go our separate ways and look for hope."
Hearing what he said, the other person sneered, "Don't talk so high-soundingly. You just want to go out on your own because you can sell things openly now. Be a real man and take responsibility for your actions. Don't use that brother as an excuse."
The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he looked at the other man who just lowered his head and drank slowly. Then a trace of determination and resoluteness flashed in his eyes.
He took a breath and admitted frankly, "Yes, I don't think there is anything wrong with my choice. Everyone has their own pursuits. I just want a better life and want to earn money to support my family in an honest way."
"Bullshit! If it wasn't for Brother Hao taking you in, you wouldn't know where to pick up trash now. Why didn't you say anything when the gang was doing well before? Now that the gang is like this, you just pat your butt and walk away. You are so ungrateful!"
The middle-aged man seemed to be angered by his words. He slammed the table with his big hand and roared, "I am ungrateful? I admit that Brother Hao has done me a favor, but I have also done a lot for the gang and almost lost my life several times. Even if I owe him something, I have already paid it back!"
"you!"
"That's enough." The man who had been drinking finally spoke.
The two of them immediately fell silent and turned to look at him.
Liu Haoyun pinched the wine glass with three fingers and exhaled a puff of smoke.
The man in middle-aged's eyes unconsciously fell on the hand with two missing fingers. A hint of avoidance flashed in his eyes, and he immediately turned his eyes away as if he was stabbed.
"Brothers have the freedom to choose, and this includes anyone in the gang."
After hearing what he said, the two of them suddenly had different expressions.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and a hint of joy flashed across his face, while the outer-aged man looked indignant.
Seeing that the man wanted to say something, Liu Haoyun raised his hand to stop him and continued, "When I founded the gang, I said that I hoped to give the brothers the right to choose the life they want in the future. Now that the opportunity has come, and everyone wants to choose a lifestyle that suits them, I won't stop them. I just hope you won't regret it in the future."
When listening to the previous part, the middle-aged man's brows relaxed and he nodded repeatedly.
When he heard the last sentence, he frowned again, and then looked at Liu Haoyun with a hint of dissatisfaction and sneer in his eyes.
Maybe they thought that his last sentence was actually an expression of his dissatisfaction and ridicule towards them.
His face completely turned cold, and he didn't want to say anything more. "We are all adults now, so we must be responsible for our own choices. No matter what the future holds, I chose the path myself, and I will accept it. Thank you Brother Hao for taking care of me these days, and I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."
After he finished speaking, he strode out.
Just as he was about to open the curtain, he suddenly paused and turned his head.
"Brother Hao, my final suggestion is to disband the gang and start a business. It's obvious that the situation is going to be cleaned up. Times have changed. If the gang continues like this, there will be no future."
"Get out if you want to!" The man was so angry that he threw the wine glass at her.
The middle-aged man dodged sideways, then sneered, opened the curtain and walked away without looking back.
Soon the sounds of doors opening and closing were heard outside.
The man was so angry that his cheeks turned red, "Brother Hao, you just let him do this?"
Then he saw the man lowering his head and drinking in silence again. His heart suddenly sank, "Do you really want to disband the gang?"
Liu Haoyun still didn't speak.
