"Don't talk about this. How are you? Do you need to go to the hospital?" An Hongdou asked him.
"I should be fine, just my face hurts a little, my chest hurts a little, and my legs hurt a little..." Er Gouzi said as he moved his hands and feet, "I can still move, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly turned around to look for his partner.
Zhou Dazhuang is also in his twenties or thirties. As his name suggests, he is tall, strong, white and fat. At this moment, he looks even worse than Ergouzi. He has been lying on the ground and has not gotten up yet.
Er Gouzi ran over and half-helped the man sit up so that he could rest his head on his legs. He asked with concern, "Brother, how are you?"
"It's...it's okay, but my chest feels a little stuffy, as if I have lost my breath." Zhou Dazhuang replied with a trembling voice.
"Do we need to go to the hospital?" Ergouzi asked again.
"Let's go and have a look. I feel like my bones are broken." Maybe because of his fair skin, Zhou Dazhuang felt so wronged that even his eyes started to turn red.
Considering the bruises all over his face, it was only thanks to An Hongdou's good eyesight that he could see them.
"Where is the hospital? Is it far away?" An Hongdou asked them.
"It's not far. An old Chinese doctor just opened a small clinic at the corner of the street." Ergouzi replied.
An Hongdou looked at the half-paralyzed Gao Dazhuang and asked, "What about him? Can he still get up?"
Er Gouzi looked at Gao Dazhuang and had no choice but to get up even though he couldn't.
Gao Dazhuang was tall, and Ergouzi was short and thin, so it took all his strength to help him up.
An Hongdou couldn't bear to watch this, so she grabbed his arm with one hand and pulled hard, pulling him up.
Er Gouzi quickly supported him with his thin body and slowly walked towards the small clinic.
An Changyue looked at Li Hu who was still sleeping beside him, and asked An Hongdou, "Aunt, what should we do with this man? Will he call the police? Will we be arrested?"
"I don't think so. He is the one who collects protection money. If the police are called, he will not be able to escape." Because what Li Hu did was illegal in the first place, but because he was so famous in this street, no one wanted to offend him for fear of revenge.
But if the police are involved, An Hongdou won't be able to escape even if he is wrong.
Besides, it was Li Hu and his gang who started the beating. Even if she over-defended herself, the most she would have to do is pay some medical expenses.
An Hongdou was not in a hurry, so she and An Changyue followed them slowly.
The distance was not very far to begin with, but Gao Dazhuang took small and delicate steps and made it seem like he was walking for a long time.
If it were just that, it would be fine, he is a wounded person after all.
But after checking out at the small clinic, it was found that he only had some superficial injuries, not as serious as Ergouzi's. This made people feel really fucked up.
The first to bear the brunt of the attack was Er Gouzi. The person who endured the injury and fought hard to get here was not as seriously injured as him, so why did he ask him to support him?
On the way back, Ergouzi was so angry that he ignored Gao Dazhuang. Gao Dazhuang knew he was in the wrong, so he followed behind like a bullied wife, and never dared to cry out in pain again.
An Changyue quietly moved to Er Gouzi's side and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Er Gou, who is this person? How do you know him?"
This is the first time she has seen such a weird man.
Not to mention her, even An Hongdou had never seen anything like this.
Er Gouzi glanced back quietly and said, "Why are you asking so many questions, kid? Go play somewhere else."
"Hmph!" An Changyue snorted coldly and stopped walking with Ergouzi.
When we got back to Ergouzi's residence, there was only a small room that the two of them shared. They ate and slept together, and in the corner, half of the space was occupied by some unknown item.
There was not even a place to sit in the room, which made Ergouzi feel a little embarrassed.
He went out and brought back two small stools, then came back and put them on the ground, "Hongdou, Changyue, the place is small, please don't mind, just sit where you are."
An Hongdou frowned and asked him, "What on earth are you doing here? And those few people, since they are collecting protection fees and you have paid the protection fees, why would they catch you and kill you?"
There are so many people setting up stalls on the street, don’t they target others?
"I don't really know what happened. We were fine a few days ago, but these past few days, Li Hu was obviously picking on us. He first said that the protection fee would increase, but he didn't increase other people's fees. We naturally didn't want to do that, so we said a few more words. Then he seemed to say that we had offended someone we shouldn't have offended, and he wanted to pick on us so that we couldn't stay here, but I don't know the details." Er Gouzi sighed, "I really don't know who I offended. Since I came here, in addition to buying a piece of land as you instructed, I met Da Zhuang later. We started a small business together. We usually greeted each other with smiles, so we didn't have the chance to offend anyone!"
An Hongdou asked for a long time but couldn't get to the point, so she changed the topic to the piece of land.
Er Gouzi was immediately very proud, "Sister, you don't know, it's a good thing you let me come early, the land I bought has increased in value a lot now, and several people want to buy it recently. I didn't dare to make the decision without your permission."
When An Hongdou asked him to resign and come here, he was still hesitant, after all, his job as a driver was a stable job.
But then he thought, it was An Hongdou who gave him the iron rice bowl in the first place. Besides, he had never missed a thing by listening to An Hongdou in the past few years. She had handed over hundreds of thousands of yuan to him with confidence. So why would he care about the iron rice bowl?
An Hongdou had only one purpose in asking him to bring the money here, which was to buy a piece of land here, preferably in a downtown area. If that wasn't possible, then find a place with the most factories. At worst, it would be in a remote area. It's not that he couldn't make money, but it would take a longer time to get his money back.
Of course, Ergouzi didn't know what she was thinking, but he completely implemented her ideas.
Fortunately, he arrived early and with the financial support of An Hongdou, he was able to buy a good piece of land.
If you sell it now, the price will be slightly doubled.
He had never felt that making money was so easy, but after calling An Hongdou several times to ask, she refused to sell, so he could only watch the money slip away with a painful heart.
But Ergouzi really has a dog's nose and is very sensitive to money.
After working with Gao Dazhuang for so long, I have made a lot of money.
It's just that Li Hu has been causing trouble recently, making life difficult for both of them.
Ergouzi was still injured, and even if An Hongdou was impatient, she couldn't let him accompany them to see the land with his injuries.
He took out an ointment mixed with ginseng essence from the space and told him to apply it on his body on time. Then he took An Changyue back and planned to come back to find them in two days after Ergouzi recovered.
However, fearing revenge from Li Hu, An Hongdou still asked them to move to another place first.
After all, she was also living in Shen Xiangzhi's friend's house, and it would be inappropriate to bring anyone back rashly.
