Chapter 172: Kill them with us
"Okay, let's put that aside for now. Did Wang Chengping bring the same people as last time?"
Sang Yu shook his head, stopped thinking about those trivial things, and asked about the main business.
Liu Mao was no longer surprised by her calmness and seriousness in dealing with this matter. After all, this seemingly weak woman was actually a ruthless person who dared to put a knife on his neck.
"Yes, but his wife is here too."
Liu Mao saw Sang Yu get up to leave shortly after receiving the person he sent to deliver the message.
He was planning to volunteer to follow, but when he caught a glimpse of someone next to him speaking, he swallowed the words he hadn't yet uttered.
Last time, he didn't get beaten up with Wang Chengping and the others. Although they didn't say it on the surface, they were actually a little distant from him in their actions. This time, he couldn't be so active.
Moreover, he had enough confidence in Sang Yu. She would never be the cowardly person who would abandon her father and brother and run away alone.
After the two of them left for a while, he slowly said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and sure enough, he met Sang Yu at the intersection.
"Killing people and robbing them for money, and still dragging their families down with them?" Sang Yu was a little puzzled, but these people who were blinded by money were unreasonable.
"What's your plan? Are you going to catch up with us and kill us and rob us after we leave the city?"
Liu Mao nodded slightly: "Almost. Last time you spared my life, this time we've made up for it, and we owe each other nothing from now on."
Sang Yu looked at him with some surprise. She didn't expect that this man was such a grateful person. He was worthy of being from a military family.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly came up with a good idea: "You are helping Wang Chengping out of friendship, right? I can give you whatever money he offers."
"You want to give me money? Of course you can, but..."
Liu Mao hesitated. He himself disliked Wang Chengping's personality; he was too greedy and short-sighted. He clearly looked down on everyone, yet he had to pretend to be friendly.
But he had no choice but to associate with him because it was profitable. He and Wang Chengping had absolutely no feelings for each other, they just used each other.
"But what? You think that following him is a long-term business, and you can only do this one business with me?" Sang Yu seemed to see through what he was thinking and pointed it out directly.
"That's right." Since she had said it clearly, Liu Mao no longer hesitated. "He gave me two taels of silver, and I want three times as much."
"I'm not going to give you any money. But I have a business that I'd like you to join. I wonder if you're interested."
It’s not that Sang Yu can’t come up with six taels of silver. Although the money is a little more, it is still worth spending to buy the lives of his three family members.
"What do you mean?" Liu Mao was a little confused for a moment.
"I'm sure you've seen how popular our skewers are. We're making a lot of money. I'll give you 30% of my profits in exchange for your help. Do you think it's worth six taels of silver?"
When hearing Liu Mao say "spare his life", Sang Yu suddenly felt that this man was not hopeless.
If he had a choice, he probably wouldn't be willing to continue doing this kind of business that is like licking blood on the edge of a knife.
It just so happened that she felt that the skewers business was a little tiring, so she asked him to join the business now, and then handed over the snack business to him completely. Wouldn't it be better for her family to just take the dividends without any worries?
"Dividends? Free?"
Liu Mao had just made a rough calculation. Judging from the long queue in front of their stall and the number of tickets in the bucket, their daily sales must be around three or two taels.
Thirty percent dividends is close to one tael, and the investment can be recovered in six days, and all the rest is net profit? Only a fool would not agree to this.
Sang Yu didn't hide anything and said frankly: "The costs have to be deducted first, and then the profits are shared, but the profit is still nearly 60%."
"make a deal!"
Liu Mao readily agreed. It wouldn't take long for him to earn six taels of silver just by sharing the profits. Moreover, this money would come in continuously, which was much more cost-effective than a one-time buyout.
"When the time comes, I'll hold you back and you guys run." He spoke in his usual short sentences.
"No, I want you to come with us and kill them."
Sang Yu doesn't intend to let these people go easily this time.
If she had ignored Wang Chengping's previous actions and thought they were just minor incidents, then this time when he knew where they lived, it completely touched her bottom line.
She couldn't let these people continue to live. It just so happened that the other party didn't want her to live from the beginning. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, which was fairest.
When Liu Mao heard her say this in such a calm tone, he couldn't help but look sideways at her again.
Sang Yu was very satisfied that he had successfully persuaded one person to defect, which not only provided reinforcements to his own side but also weakened the enemy's strength.
"You go first. Remember to go to the toilet. For other matters, I will tell you what to do."
After she gave a brief explanation, she crossed paths with Liu Mao and returned along the same route.
When she returned to the stall, the skewers in the bucket had almost been sold out, with only twenty or thirty left. Sang Xingjia had already stood at the end of the line with a wooden sign in his hand.
Seeing that the stall would be closed soon, she didn't switch seats with Sang Yongjing and returned to the place where she had rested before.
After they finished their work, they packed up their things and glanced at each other inconspicuously.
Sang Yongjing lowered his voice and asked Sang Xingjia quietly, "Did you upset Yu'er? Why is she in a bad mood after going out?"
Sang Xingjia spread his hands in bewilderment: "How dare I? Maybe it's you, Dad, who caused the trouble."
When they had almost packed up their things, after some pushing and shoving, Sang Xingjia was ultimately at a disadvantage and could not defeat Sang Yongjing, who relied on his status as his "father" to bully the weak.
He took a deep breath, walked over to Sang Yu and sat down: "Little sister, did anything happen when you went out just now?"
"Something's going on."
Sang Yu's answer was completely beyond his expectations. He quickly asked, "What happened? Who bullied you?"
"It's not being bullied, it's..." Sang Yu motioned him to put his ear close to her and whispered the general situation.
The more Sang Xingjia listened, the paler his face became. After Sang Yu finished speaking, he nervously licked his dry lips and tried hard to control himself from looking around.
Then he asked quietly, "Can't we report it to the police?"
He regretted the words as soon as they came out of his mouth. The other party hadn't started any concrete action yet. Even if he reported it to the police, they probably wouldn't handle it.
So he changed the question: "Can't we get rid of them?"
Sang Yu shook his head slightly and sighed, "No, they plan to attack outside the city, and they might even have followed us to Qingxi Village. If we can't get rid of them this time, we'll have to sleep in fear from now on."
All the escape routes were blocked, and now there seemed to be only one way left. Sang Xingjia gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's fight them. Four against four, we have a chance of winning."
