"When you save up two thousand taels, I'll take you to rent some wasteland and build a house."
Xiao Qiang leaned against the pillar, looking hopeless, and muttered, "What if I lose everything but my pants?"
"Xiao Qiang! Why are you discouraged again! You can't do this, you have to stand up! We have a monopoly, there is no reason for us to lose money!" Brother Liu encouraged loudly, attracting the crowd around to watch.
Xiao Qiang sighed softly: "Forget it, brother. I've thought about it. If we really make money, other people won't be blind, right? There are many people in the county who have much more capital than us!"
"How can we think of all the good things? Even if we think of them, we may not run to the end. Maybe we will be lucky enough to have a sip of soup in the end..."
"How about... stop it. We both have a lot of money now. Let's use our connections to get back to the guard team."
Seeing that his only partner was losing his temper, Brother Liu became anxious and held his shoulders and shook them violently: "Xiao Qiang! What are you talking about!"
"Ah? We've been through so much together, how could such a damn thing come out of your mouth!"
"Go back to work? I tell you, it's impossible to work! It's impossible to work in this life! We are free people, I can't go back! None of us can go back!"
Xiao Qiang suddenly became alert after hearing this and shouted, "Then what do you say we should do? Others are richer than us! Others are faster than us! Others are more famous than us! Even if we are the first to think of it, what can we do? Brother Liu, please stop dreaming!"
Brother Liu's breath was choked, and then he gradually calmed down: "No, it's not a dream, Xiaoqiang, don't worry and listen to me."
"I've been thinking about this these past few days. After we've contracted the land and found someone to start the work, you can go to the capital to rent a shop and renovate it, and then go to attract people who want to move to Taoyuan County. When the wasteland here is halfway renovated, let people reserve it, so that we can have money!"
"If someone has reserved it, it means the wasteland is valuable. I will use the wasteland to borrow money from the county, and then use the money to buy more wasteland! This cycle will repeat over and over again. By the time everyone is unaware, all the wasteland around Taoyuan County will be ours!"
"The more I think about it, the more plausible it seems. It's definitely feasible!"
Xiao Qiang smiled helplessly, his eyes full of compassion: "Brother Liu, stop talking nonsense. If you keep doing this, you won't be able to finish repairing the house... Will we pay with our lives then?"
"It can be repaired, it will definitely be repaired, you have to believe me! Even if it can't be repaired, so what? At that time, ask the buyer who has already booked the house to pay more, or they will repair the house themselves, otherwise the little money he spent before will be wasted. Anyway, we all have one life, let's see who can survive longer!" Brother Liu smiled coldly.
It's over, Brother Liu has gone crazy, completely crazy. Is this still the kind and honest Brother Liu I knew before?
Xiao Qiang closed his eyes in pain: "Stop talking, stop talking! They will beat you to death before they repair the house themselves!"
"Beat me to death?" Brother Liu raised his head slightly: "I have some good friends in the guard team. If they dare to mess with me, I will find someone to mess with them first!"
"We brothers are all police officers! And who would help you beat someone up if you cheated him? You don't have to do it until the master finds out!"
Brother Liu's expression gradually became grim. He calmed down for a moment and said slowly, "What's the big deal? Just change your clothes. Who knew that the brothers were officials at that time?"
Xiaoqiang's expression froze. He watched in horror as Brother Liu curled up and buried his head in his knees. He cried and said in a muffled voice, "Brother, you have changed. This is too wicked and inhumane. I won't work with you."
You are immoral and inhumane. I won't work with you anymore.
These few light words instantly broke down Brother Liu's inner defenses.
Brother Liu's lips began to tremble constantly, and his eyes were filled with tears. Suddenly, he kicked Xiaoqiang to the ground, and then pounced on him!
Holding his shoulders, he said fiercely: "Xiao Qiang, we have always been through thick and thin together and depend on each other! You are the only one I have now. If you don't work with me, I will die and leave all the money for you!"
"I want to be law-abiding and do business honestly! But what about those people outside? They bully us, asking for favors and tea money! One after another!"
"The horse seller cheated us! The military department is cheating us! The monkey seller Lao Sun cheated us again, and your wife was also cheated away by that old man. Are you fucking willing to accept this?"
"We follow rules, morality and speak softly to others, but in the end, everyone looks down on us and treats us like fools! Those who don't follow rules and morality always have the upper hand over us!"
"One by one, the higher the morals, the higher the evil! The less you follow the rules, the better off you are! The richer you are, the more you can afford to play!"
"Tell me! Tell me what's the point of talking about morality and humanity!?"
Xiaoqiang was pinned to the ground by him, and his shoulder hurt. But Brother Liu was the runner-up in the arm wrestling competition, so even if his muscles were lost, he still had 70% to 80% of his strength left!
He is already in a crazy state now, and Xiaoqiang is nothing but panicked.
Brother Liu roared: "Morality, human nature? Haven't you seen clearly yet? The market is a jungle where the weak are the prey of the strong. Only the lowest class of people talk about morality all day long! They are all slaves to morality!"
"I've realized it now! I want to turn things around. I, Liu Zhongshun, want to be the goddamn master of morality!"
"Even if I cheated someone, so what? When we become rich, we can just donate a little money to some schools and help some lonely elderly people. Then we will be praised by everyone as great philanthropists!"
"Others only see our glory in front of others. Who knows what we have done before? Who cares what kind of people we were before?"
"Now tell me, are you willing to come with me?"
Xiaoqiang was stunned. Although Brother Liu was excited, he actually felt that there was a little truth in it...
"I...I...I don't know."
Seeing Xiaoqiang's attitude soften, Brother Liu struck while the iron was hot: "The master has always had a keen eye. He just praised us as a pair of talented people! He must have seen our potential. As long as we succeed, we may even be able to work for the master in the future!"
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Xiaoqiang's eyes.
Yes! The master just praised me as a Crouching Dragon and a Phoenix Chick! I don’t know if I am a Crouching Dragon or a Phoenix Chick…
"Brother...I'll do it with you!"
