Li Jin glared at Lao Cui and said, "Don't you think I'm inferior to you, my squad leader! I won't dare come here again!"
Having said all that, Lao Cui had no choice but to accept the red envelope and tell Cui Xinni to quickly come and thank Uncle Squad Leader!
Besides Li Jin, Li Xiangdong, Zhou Hongsong, He Chaochao, Bai Yulong, and Luo Yonggang all made their own gestures. Even Li Jiabao gave Cui Xinni a small round mirror he bought from the supply and marketing cooperative as a wedding gift.
This deeply moved the Cui family.
Although they stayed at our house for a month, we still spent a lot of money buying them fresh food and treats.
Before leaving, they gave out so many big red envelopes. Just by feeling the thickness of those envelopes, you can tell there's a lot of money in them!
The next day, Li Jin took the pastries he had bought earlier and went to the old village chief's house to say goodbye.
When the villagers learned that Li Jin was leaving, they all rushed over to see him off, and the festivities lasted all night.
...
Sheepskin Pass, Xu Yunfeng's home.
Recently, Xu Yunhai and his team have been running around so much that their legs are almost worn out, but they finally managed to collect 600 jin of fourth-grade ginseng and 200 jin of red ginseng from some remote villages.
Xu Yunsong pounded his aching calves, cursing under his breath, "My legs are almost ruined just trying to get this little bit of ginseng!"
"Brother, we harvested too few ginseng this year!"
Da Niu is particularly worried about his income this year.
A few days ago, his mother found him a wife. She was so tender and beautiful that she blushed whenever she saw him. He agreed to give her a dowry of 100 yuan, build her a four-room brick house, and buy her a TV, a sewing machine, and a bicycle!
If you make a promise and then fail to keep it, it would be a huge embarrassment.
Lei Zi's face was already gloomy, but it had become even more so in the past few days, as if it had turned from a cloudy day into the eve of a storm.
"Brother, according to the information my dad found out, Li Xiangdong and his group bought several thousand kilograms of mountain products and hauled them away in a truck along with a lot of ginseng."
"To get from Zahatun to the main road, you have to cross Ant Ridge."
Xu Yunfeng remained silent, lost in thought.
Lei Zi's voice was a little urgent, "Brother, they're leaving tomorrow morning!"
Clearly, this was not a spur-of-the-moment idea from Lei Zi.
After he finished speaking, Da Niu, Xu Yunhai, and Xu Yunsong all looked at Xu Yunfeng.
Xu Yunfeng said in a deep voice, "There are eight men in total, young and old, while we only have five..."
That means you've agreed.
Da Niu immediately became excited, "I've found out everything! Only two of them are leaving in a truck; the rest of them are taking the train!"
Xu Yunfeng thought for a moment, but he still didn't want to get involved himself. "Ant Ridge is Potato's territory, so let Potato handle it."
Potato and his brother Soybean were villagers from a nearby village. They were both big and strong, but they didn't like to work much.
They used to love stealing things from the production team and the forest farm. Now that the production team was liberated, they decided to follow in their father's footsteps and became bandits in Ant Ridge.
That's right, their fathers were gangsters in Ant Ridge back in the day, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to understand the underworld slang Luo Yonggang used.
Da Niu wasn't too happy. He rubbed his hands together and said, "Brother, let those two do it. Then all that stuff will belong to Potato and his brother! Let's go together. With more people, we can split what we bring back."
Lei Zi chimed in, "That's right! Brother, we have to make sure they lose everything. Next time they come to Yilan, they'll have to think twice!"
Xu Yunfeng's mind was a bit confused for a moment; it felt like two little people were fighting in his head.
To go or not to go?
His prolonged silence made everyone else anxious.
Li Jin and the others are leaving tomorrow. Tonight we need to discuss with Tudou about what to use for the robbery. Time is very tight.
Xu Yunfeng finally gritted his teeth and thought, "Damn it, let's do it!"
Solving the problem of someone competing with you once and for all will also serve as a deterrent to those who come after.
Upon hearing Xu Yunfeng's words, the others immediately became excited.
"Yun Song, Da Niu, you two go and prepare long iron nails and barbed wire."
"Lei Zi, get all the guns ready and make sure you have enough bullets."
"Yunhai, come with me to see Potato and Soybean!"
Xu Yunfeng put on his shoes and got off the kang (heated brick bed). "We need ginseng. If we can avoid harming anyone, that would be best!"
After the tasks were assigned, everyone went to prepare.
Soon, the figures of the group disappeared into the thick darkness of the night.
Wang Lili was putting her son to sleep in the next room, and she could hear her husband's words clearly.
Before she married Xu Yunfeng, she knew he wasn't a content farmer. Her parents disagreed, thinking she would never have a good life with him.
But she had her eye on Xu Yunfeng and vowed that even if they had to eat coarse food after marriage, she would not blame her parents.
Sure enough, although Xu Yunfeng loved to cause trouble, she did bring home a lot of money. The newly built brick house and the only television in the village made her proud in front of everyone.
Even my parents no longer look down on their son-in-law like before; they now constantly praise my son-in-law.
All of this made Wang Lili feel extremely satisfied.
But today her husband was going to discuss with bandits about robbing a road together. She couldn't dissuade him, nor did she dare to. Her heart was pounding with anxiety.
...
The names "Potato" and "Soybean" are really not fitting for the two people's appearances.
These are two middle-aged men with dark skin, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and particularly large frames.
Xu Yunhai usually enjoys playing Pai Gow, and the two brothers also like to play cards in their spare time, so they are quite familiar with each other.
When Xu Yunfeng and Xu Yunhai arrived at his house, the two brothers were drinking on the kang (a heated brick bed).
A handful of peanuts, two small wine cups, a bottle of loose wine, and the two men's homemade guns were casually placed on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Xu Yunhai got straight to the point, without beating around the bush, and stated the matter directly.
"Potato Bro, Soybean Bro, this is a fat sheep. How about we split the ginseng in half?"
Potato didn't even raise an eyebrow; he directly rejected Xu Yunhai, saying, "Not good at all!"
Xu Yunhai asked anxiously, "Why?!"
Huang Dou is usually more amiable and has a closer relationship with Xu Yunhai.
Xu Yunhai looked anxiously at Huang Dou, who picked at his ear and said slowly, "The place you're talking about, my brother and I robbed before."
oh?
This was something that Xu Yunfeng and Xu Yunhai were unaware of.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Huang Dou decided to go all the way and said, "I'll just tell you directly, this family is also involved in the underworld, and they have several guns."
Xu Yunfeng asked, "They're not from around here, are they?"
Even if they're from different places and work in the same industry, it's common for shady dealings to happen between them.
Huang Dou waved his hands repeatedly and said, "It's a rule passed down from our ancestors that we don't steal from our competitors."
Xu Yunfeng cursed inwardly. "Rules passed down from our ancestors? Why didn't the government execute all those bandit leaders back then?"
Anyway, no matter what they said, the two of them just wouldn't budge.
Finally, having no other choice, Xu Yunfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Potato, Brother Soybean, if you don't want to do this job, could you lend me the place?"
"After it's done, we'll split the profits fifty-fifty!"
