"Damn it! Shengzi, tell me, who have I ever been afraid of? Which of the thugs from the surrounding villages dared to cause me trouble?"
And now? I'm being yelled at to my face by that bastard manager and I don't even dare to talk back!
If I didn't have a wife and kids to support, I'd smash his skull open!
Da Gang was strong and healthy from a young age. He used to fight with people in his village when he was a child, and later he fought with thugs from other villages. He was considered a big shot in the town.
When Yang Sheng was a child, he was quiet and reserved, and only knew how to study. As a result, he was often bullied.
It wasn't that he was cowardly, but that he knew that if he got into a fight, his parents would be called in and he would have to pay compensation, which would make his already impoverished family even worse off.
But one time, when he was being bullied so badly, Yang Sheng took a pencil and poked a hole in the leg of the person who was bullying him. Three or four people surrounded him and beat him, but Yang Sheng kept poking until he broke the pencil.
It was on that occasion that Da Gang thought this quiet, studious boy from the same village was quite interesting, so he helped chase away the people who were surrounding and beating him.
That was the first and only time Yang Sheng's parents were called in when he was a child.
Although he had to pay the other party several hundred yuan in compensation, his father did not scold him. Instead, he took him out for a barbecue and told him some words.
One should not fight for a steamed bun but for a sense of pride. Taking a step back does not necessarily lead to a brighter future, and enduring for a moment does not necessarily bring peace.
Never lose your integrity, no matter what. Even if you are poor, you should not be servile.
After that, no one ever bullied Yang Sheng again. Some people even went out of their way to cause trouble for Da Gang when Yang Sheng wasn't around.
Yang Sheng remained an excellent student with outstanding grades, but some hooligans both inside and outside the school avoided him.
Some had heard of Yang Sheng's deeds, while others were skeptical and suffered greatly, even developing psychological trauma.
Yang Sheng poured Da Gang a glass of wine and patted him on the shoulder.
"With something on my mind, I can no longer act as recklessly as before."
Before Yang Sheng could finish comforting Da Gang, Ming Ze suddenly burst into tears again.
"I do the most work at the company, so why do I get the lowest bonus and work the most overtime? Why do they all ostracize and bully me? I haven't hurt anyone!"
Mingze was a thin young man with glasses. He was a better student than Yang Sheng since childhood, and he won scholarships all the way to get into a key 211 university. After graduation, he went to work in Shanghai.
However, Mingze has always been weak-willed and has low emotional intelligence since childhood, and this is still the case as he grew up. Naturally, this kind of personality makes him a target of being bullied and ostracized in the company.
But Mingze dared not resign.
His parents worked three jobs to send him to school in his early years, and now they are both seriously ill and unable to work. The whole family depends on Mingze's salary. How dare he quit his job?
When they were kids, Da Gang always bullied him and made him do his homework.
However, if any outsider dares to bully Mingze, Dagang will definitely fight back for him immediately.
But as he grew up, even though those people didn't physically assault him, their words and actions were like knives, stabbing him painfully and making it hard for him to breathe.
Yang Sheng poured Mingze another glass of wine, but didn't know how to persuade them.
Faced with injustice, Yang Sheng chose to pick up a knife and take his own life, determined to fight for his honor even at the cost of his life.
But he couldn't persuade Da Gang and Ming Ze to do the same.
When you have something on your mind, you can never give up everything.
But in this messed-up world, there are always some people who insist on pushing people to the brink, leaving no room for maneuver.
Da Gang downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, then cursed helplessly, "What a damn world!"
Just then, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Uncle Cai looked around before shouting at Yang Sheng and the other two, "Stop drinking! Something bad has happened!"
Liu Donghong and his men beat up Xiao Sheng, your second uncle, and Da Gang, your father, and they're trying to forcibly seize your family's land!
"grass!"
Da Gang's eyes immediately turned red, and he went to the back kitchen, grabbed a cleaver from the restaurant, and headed out.
Mingze wiped away his tears, picked up a sharp fruit knife and put it in his pocket, following behind Dagang.
Yang Sheng suddenly grabbed Da Gang's hand, and the force was so strong that Da Gang couldn't break free and unconsciously let go of the kitchen knife.
"Liu Donghong? Is that the guy who got rich by digging sand and then became so smug?"
"Don't be impulsive. You have a wife and children. I'll go check on them first."
