It was too late for Yang Cheng to turn around and leave.
I bravely looked at the person who opened the door, "Brother Zhao."
Ma Zhao opened the door to go to the bathroom, but unexpectedly saw Yang Cheng, who hadn't been there for several months.
"Hey! It's Comrade Yang? I thought you were in some awful class and we were no longer friends."
"No, no, Brother Zhao, I..."
"Okay, come in!"
Ma Zhao hugged Yang Cheng and took him to the yard.
"Boss, Mouse, look who's here?"
Everyone in the room looked towards the door. Under the dim light, several people were playing Pai Gow.
"Boss, Brother Haozi, Brother Qiao, Brother Ou, Brother Xiong."
A few people nodded faintly.
Ma Zhao rolled his eyes and pulled him in front of Zhu Hang. "Boss, Yang Cheng must be missing everyone. Let's stop playing and have a good chat! I'll go heat up the food and have a few drinks together."
After saying that, he winked at Wu Haotian. Wu Haotian understood and pushed away the Pai Gow tiles in front of him.
"No more playing. Yang Cheng hasn't come to see us for a few months. Let's have a few drinks with him tonight."
Among the few people, Wu Haotian is the most intelligent and can be considered a military strategist.
Seeing him like this, the other people put down the Pai Gow in their hands and came over to chat with Yang Cheng.
After a few words, the previous strangeness and restraint disappeared, Yang Cheng let down his guard and played with everyone.
Wu Haotian went to the pot room and looked at Ma Zhao who was cooking hot dishes. "What do you mean?"
"When I opened the door just now, the guy obviously wanted to leave, and his face didn't look very good. I heard his business is doing well, you know?
For a temporary job, this guy said he didn't want to associate with us anymore, and I haven't even contacted him yet! He came to me again, I definitely can't let go of such a good opportunity!
No matter why he came today, we have to keep him here. Money is tight for everyone these days."
"Are you trying to mess with his family? Don't forget, he is also our brother."
"Mouse, you misunderstood. He'll get drunk and play mahjong later. His family is in business, so he should have more money."
"Whatever you want, just don't go."
"Okay, I know. Oh, come and watch the hot pot of food. I forgot to go to the bathroom. It's urgent."
Wu Haotian took the spatula reluctantly.
After a while, some leftovers were served, and everyone sat down in a swarm, pulling Yang Cheng to eat and drink.
Looking at his brothers who were more enthusiastic towards him than his family, Yang Cheng felt very satisfied.
After a few drinks, Ma Zhao noticed that he was tipsy, so he put his arm around his shoulder and asked, "When I opened the door, I saw you looked upset. What's wrong? Who made you angry? Tell us, and we'll help you vent your anger."
Yang Cheng was touched by this thoughtful question. He had been feeling very depressed recently and it was a good opportunity to talk about it with everyone.
"Brother Zhao, you're so good to me. I was wrong before. That Ling Ran is such a jerk. For a little girl, he actually ruined my house. Thousands of dollars were gone."
A few thousand yuan? Several people's eyes widened, and Ma Zhao signaled for silence.
Zhu Hang's originally indifferent expression immediately became alert.
"Tell us what's going on, and we'll give you some advice."
Yang Cheng began to tell a story, starting from the revenge against Yang Juan to what happened today.
Ma Zhao listened and poured him wine until he fell drunk.
"Yang Cheng, Chengzi."
Ma Zhao shook him, and seeing that he was fast asleep, he ignored him.
"Boss, what do you think?"
"What else can I say? It must be done! Thousands of dollars! I didn't expect the Zhou family to be so rich."
Wu Haotian stopped Zhong Xiong from speaking, "Don't interrupt. We have to do it, but we have to come up with a set of rules. Although we have been involved in some minor thefts, it's just a few thousand yuan. If something goes wrong, we will all have to go in and eat for free. And from what Yang Cheng said, the Zhou family is obviously different now."
Ma Zhao also nodded. "That Ling Ran seems to be protecting the Zhou family's little girl, and Ling Quan has also said he's protecting the Zhou family. Normally, people like the Ling family wouldn't pay any attention to us, but if something serious happens and we provoke Old Master Ling, we're doomed."
Zhu Hang pondered for a moment, "With so much money, many people in town know about it. Let's observe for a few days before making a decision. The Zhou family must be on guard recently."
"Should we let Yang Cheng know about this?"
"Why let him know? He is a person who can't keep secrets. Humph! His family is so rich, but he pretends to be poor with us." Zhong Xiong was still not satisfied with Yang Cheng.
"Come on, you know what kind of person he is, how can you give him money to spend? I guess it's not about this, he doesn't even know that his family has thousands of dollars."
After carrying Yang Cheng to the bed, the few people lost their desire to play and were no longer sleepy.
More than 8,000 yuan, less than 10,000 yuan! If we get all of it, each person can get more than 1,000 yuan, and we can even get a wife.
The youngest, Chen Ou, is already 25. Who wouldn't want a wife and children? But relying on farming at home, what future can one have? Not to mention that almost everyone is the outcast at home, let alone the majority of the family income.
Sometimes I work so hard and still can’t get enough to eat.
Wu Haotian looked at Ma Zhao, who was fidgeting and ready to make a move. "Don't be impulsive. You might alert the enemy and ruin the boss's plan."
"I, I just think about having so much money, and I'm so anxious. I don't know if the Zhou family can sleep well. Aren't they worried?"
"You're so stupid! I must have put it in the bank."
“Then, then…”
"Well, that's why the boss said just a few days! Let's wait until the Zhou family calms down, then we'll take action. We'll withdraw the money as soon as the bank opens the next day. By then, even if the Zhou family realizes it, they won't be able to find it."
"Yes, you are right, Mouse."
Zhu Hang waved his hand, "Everyone go to bed! Stay quietly for a few days and then we'll talk."
Ling Ran got home late from school because he was on duty. When he got home and heard his father's story, his face darkened.
"After all, the Zhou family is not like our Ling family, so they have been enduring it all along. Now, it's up to you whether you want to endure it or not, and you have been retaliating against the Yang family. Given the Yang family's tyranny, they have endured it long enough to embarrass the Zhou family until now. It's unpredictable what will happen next, and things have already grown from small to big!"
"Does the Yang family no longer want to stay in the town?"
"No, Zhongyang Village would not care about minor incidents in the past, but if things get bigger, Zhongyang Village will intervene. So, you should not get involved anymore. The more you get involved, the bigger the problem will get.
Your grandfather won't help. Zhong Yangcun will only say that this is a matter between the Yang and Zhou families. Your grandfather will only intervene if you are offended."
"Are we just going to let the Yang family go like this?"
"I'm not letting her go. I'm thinking about how Xiang can be independent now. Although this incident has become a big deal, Xiang has shown others how smart and strong she is. Most people won't mess with the Zhou family anymore, and the Yang family won't act rashly unless they have evidence that's unfavorable to the Zhou family."
