Beside the stove, Zhang An's eyes were lifeless, and his appearance was emaciated.
These two were a few years older than Zhang Cheng and his group, and they didn't usually interact much.
Zhang Zoushan glanced at Zhang An, a strange smile playing on his lips:
“Anzi, Er Gouzi has made a fortune now. As his own brother, didn’t he lend you a hand?”
"Er Gouzi"
The three words pierced Zhang An's ears like needles.
He suddenly looked up, staring intently at Zhang Zoushan, his teeth grinding together.
"Don't you dare mention that beast in front of me!"
"Tsk tsk, that's your own brother. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected."
Li Dali slowly replied.
"Shut up!"
Zhang An roared.
Zhang Zoushan and Li Dali exchanged a glance, their smiles deepening.
"Anzi, do you hate Er Gouzi that much?"
Zhang Zoushan asked.
"I want to skin him alive and tear his tendons out! If he hadn't cursed my son, my son wouldn't have died!"
Zhang An's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse.
"Then do you want him to experience what it's like to lose the most important thing?"
Li Dali lowered his voice, his tone like a viper flicking its tongue.
Zhang An was startled and warily sized up the two men:
What do you want to do?
"When Er Gouzi said one thing, we rushed to the county town to help him."
And now? Just because we didn't help him get a loan, he's treating us like dirt!
Zhang Zoushan was indignant.
"We can't let this ungrateful wretch get away with it until he's taught a lesson!"
Li Dali pulled three crumpled Pegasus cigarettes from his pocket, handed them to the two men, and continued to fan the flames:
"His dealership is his most prized possession."
If it's the stuff inside... hehe...
Zhang An's breathing became rapid:
"The consignment shop is looked after by Aunt Hua, and there's also that crazy woman, Shi Yangyang..."
"We already found out!"
Zhang Zoushan moved closer.
“Zhao Zhiqing often called Shi Yangyang away, leaving only Aunt Hua, an old woman, in the shop.”
Moreover, Er Gouzi brought back a lot of good stuff to the store this time…
A glint of greed flashed in Li Dali's eyes:
"Anzi, just tell me, are you in or not?"
Zhang An's expression shifted between light and shadow.
If this gets out, you could go to jail!
"Anzi, what are you afraid of?"
Zhang Zoushan sneered.
"No matter how ruthless Zhang Ergou is, can he really send his own brother to jail? Besides, if we keep things clean, who will know who did it?"
Li Dali added fuel to the fire:
"Everyone in the village says that Zhang Ergou is a dragon, while you, Zhang An, are not even as good as a worm."
Why does he get to live so well, while you can't even protect your son? Can you swallow this insult?
"What makes him...?"
Zhang An muttered to himself, the bloodshot in his eyes growing thicker and thicker until they finally coalesced into a crimson hue.
"Damn it! I'll fight you!"
Zhang An slapped his thigh and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
"good!"
"That's more like a man!"
Li Dali and Zhang Zoushan wore triumphant smiles.
"Anzi, wait for our news."
"Don't let me down!"
"I, Zhang An, always keep my word!"
The two left satisfied.
Zhang An stared intently at the flickering firelight, which distorted in his eyes into Zhang Cheng's face.
"Er Gouzi, don't blame me... you're the one who killed my son first!"
He firmly believed that Zhang Cheng's curse had taken everything from him.
Before returning to the village, Zhang Cheng anticipated some gossip, but he did not expect that the evil in people's hearts would come so directly and fiercely.
