Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Accident
Jiang Xi and Zhou Jiangang exchanged glances. What's going on? Isn't this shop owned by Old Man Ding? Zhou Jiangang didn't understand either.
The people Old Man Ding saw were furious and said mercilessly: "What are you dreaming about! This house is obviously mine, it's none of your business to butt in!"
The muscular man, with a face full of flesh, refused to give in. "You promised us the house, why don't you keep your word?"
The woman also said: "That's right, this house is ours now, you can't sell it!"
Old Man Ding spat, "You two bastards! You want to take over my shop? I'm telling you, I'm still here. You can't rob me! The owner's name is mine, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Seeing that Old Man Ding was unmoved, the young couple turned to Jiang Xi and said, "I'm telling you, he promised to give us this shop. If you want to buy it, we won't agree."
The man also said: "Yes, yes, we want to do business here, we won't sell it!"
Old Man Ding slammed his hand on the table and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What a rotten business you're running! This shop is mine, it's mine! You're trying to wipe out my family and take my shop away. Believe it or not, I'll call the police and have you all arrested!"
Old Man Ding was full of fighting spirit: "You two damned bastards, you still want to steal my things, I will die with you!"
As Old Man Ding was about to hit the young couple across the street, the man was caught off guard and hit by Old Man Ding. Just as he was about to fight back, someone rushed in and said, "What are you doing? Stop it!"
When Old Man Ding saw the newcomers, his usual indifference vanished. He spoke quickly, as if he had finally received help: "Kunzi, it's them! They're trying to rob my shop! Take them to the police station!"
The man called Kunzi was very tall, wearing a black jacket. His arms were stretched so tight that the muscles underneath could be vaguely seen. When he glared at people, he looked fierce.
Even though the man was strong, he was a head shorter than Kunzi. Even Zhou Jiangang looked much thinner compared to Kunzi.
Kunzi glared at the couple fiercely: "You guys are not done yet, are you? Didn't you get beaten enough last time? Now you come looking for trouble again, get out of here right now!"
The young couple huddled together, no longer looking as ferocious as they did at the beginning.
Old Man Ding's face flushed red: "You two bastards, get out of here right now!"
The man wanted to rush forward but was stopped by the woman. He was so angry that he said to Old Man Ding, "Uncle Ding, think it over carefully. If you really want to be so estranged from us, don't expect me to smash the pot for you when you die!"
Old Man Ding pointed at the man and cursed, "You little jerk! I was expecting you to throw the pot at me, but you two are such heartless bastards! What else can you do for me besides stealing my money? Get out of here!"
"Even if I want to find someone to smash the pot with, I won't find you. I'll find Kunzi to smash the pot with me!"
The man sneered after hearing this: "So that's how it is. I was wondering why this guy, who has no relationship with you at all, often comes to help you. He just wants your money."
"Uncle Ding, we are still related by blood. You don't trust us but trust this little scoundrel instead. Don't let this happen and you end up losing both your money and your life. You'll end up spending money and getting nothing in return."
Old man Ding cursed: "Shut up, do you think everyone is like you, you two ungrateful people, Kunzi would never treat me like this."
The man said sarcastically, "Well, just wait and see. Uncle Ding, don't regret it later!"
Kunzi stood in front of Old Man Ding, his eyes fierce: "Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, I will attack you."
The woman tugged at the man's sleeve and said, "Let's go quickly. He has a criminal record. If we start fighting, we will be the ones who suffer." The man then left with the woman in disappointment.
After they left, Kunzi turned to Old Man Ding and said, "Uncle Ding, next time they come to your house, just come to me and I'll help you drive them away!"
Old Man Ding seemed to have used up all his strength. He slowly and tremblingly found a stool to sit down. "I know you're a good person. Don't listen to their nonsense. Even if you have a criminal record, it wasn't your fault in the first place. You're a person who knows how to repay kindness. I believe you. I'm going to sell the shop today and give you the money. You can use it to treat your sister's illness."
Kunzi shook his head: "Uncle Ding, I don't want your money. If it weren't for you taking care of my sister, she would have died long ago. It's my duty to help you."
Old Man Ding said, "I am just a person. I only need food and drink. Why do I need so much money? Now this money can save your life. Don't refuse it."
Kunzi still refused: "I won't take your money!"
Seeing Kunzi's refusal, Old Man Ding got angry: "I told you this money is for you! Stop whining. Don't you want to save Yaer?"
When Kunzi, who had been refusing just now, heard Yaer's name, his eyes turned red. Yaer was his sister, who was only seven years old this year, but was seriously ill and urgently needed money for surgery. The surgery would cost 1,500 yuan, which was a sky-high price for an ordinary family, not to mention that there were only two people in Kunzi's family, him and his sister.
Kunzi had been arrested before and had a criminal record, so he couldn't find a decent job. He could only help others carry bags to earn a little money, but that little money was not enough for the operation. Kunzi was anxious and wanted to work 24 hours a day, but even so, he still couldn't earn enough money for the operation.
Kunzi's parents are very nice people and have a good relationship with Old Man Ding. They are one of the few people who have a good relationship with Old Man Ding, so after Kunzi's parents passed away, Old Man Ding would occasionally take care of the two children.
Because there were no adults at home, Kunzi and his sister were often bullied. Once, Kunzi took his sister to the street. They had no money to buy vegetables, so they could only pick up rotten vegetable leaves that others didn't want after the market was over. At this time, a little boy came over and pushed Yaer, who fell on his butt and started crying.
Kunzi was so angry because his sister was bullied that he rushed over and knocked the little boy down, and punched him twice. However, he didn't expect that the little boy's family had some influence and directly sent Kunzi to a juvenile detention center. Kunzi stayed in the juvenile detention center for two or three months before being released. This is the so-called criminal record of the couple.
For the past two or three months, Yaer had no one to take care of her and had to take care of herself. Fearing of being bullied on the streets, Yaer had to hide at home every day. If it weren't for Old Man Ding occasionally sending her some food, Yaer would have starved to death.
It was also because of this that Kunzi was very grateful to Old Man Ding after he came out. He would rush out to protect Old Man Ding when the couple made trouble. In his opinion, being nice to Old Man Ding was a way of repaying his kindness, and he would never ask Old Man Ding for money.
So even if Old Man Ding got angry, Kunzi still said, "I won't take your money!"
Old Man Ding had a bad temper to begin with, but he didn't expect Kunzi's temper was even worse than his. He usually didn't have a good face towards anyone, and he finally took a fancy to a kid and wanted to help him, but was rejected. Old Man Ding was so angry that he didn't say anything.
Both the old man and the child had stern faces, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Jiang Xi and Zhou Jiangang...
Originally thought it was just a simple matter of buying a shop, but unexpectedly, one problem arose after another. Jiang Xi and Zhou Jiangang, who were watching the whole process, probably understood what was happening.
Zhou Jiangang was greatly surprised. He thought that the couple who ran the shop were good people and were bullied by Old Man Ding. He didn't expect that they actually wanted to steal Old Man Ding's things. They were a pair of evil people.
"Uncle Ding, what's going on?"
Old man Ding was frustrated with Kunzi and turned his back to Zhou Jiangang.
Zhou Jiangang had never met an old man with such a bad temper, and Jiang Xi couldn't let things stay like this. She still had to run the shop and there were a lot of things to do later.
But before the transaction, Jiang Xi had to confirm one thing: "Is this house really yours, Uncle Ding?"
Old Man Ding was angry again because of Jiang Xi's question. He rolled his eyes and said, "Of course. The Housing Authority has my name on it. You'll know when you go through the paperwork!"
Zhou Jiangang was completely bewildered. At first, he'd thought the young couple had been bullied by Old Man Ding and their shop had gone bankrupt. Now, it seemed like the young couple was trying to take over the shop again. "What's your relationship with those two? Isn't he your son?"
Old Man Ding said disdainfully, "Bah, a coward like that can still be my son? If I had a son like that, I would have beaten him to death long ago. They have nothing to do with me. If I had to force a connection, they would just be my distant nephews."
Zhou Jiangang: "I thought they were your sons. What about your children, Uncle Ding?"
When the topic of children was brought up, Old Man Ding looked a little dejected. "My child died a long time ago, and I'm the only one left in my family. So they think I'm easy to bully and want to wipe out my family, but I won't let them have their way. I'd rather sell this shop than let them take a single cent."
Zhou Jiangang suddenly realized: "So you deliberately caused trouble just to drive them away?"
Old Man Ding was a little proud: "Humph, they are shameless. If I don't use some tricks, they will occupy my shop and won't leave. How can I let them succeed?"
Zhou Jiangang and Jiang Xi exchanged glances. It seemed that no one should be underestimated. Who could know from the surface that Old Man Ding had these thoughts? Moreover, such a stubborn Old Man Ding would actually give the money from selling the shop to Kunzi.
Kunzi kept his head down while Old Man Ding was talking. Old Man Ding looked up at him and said, "I'm going to sell the shop and give you the money. Don't talk to me about this. You know my temper. If you don't want the money, don't talk to me anymore."
Zhou Jiangang... He is worthy of being called Old Man Ding. Even talking about giving money sounds like threatening others.
Kunzi still shook his head: "I don't want your money."
For the first time, Old Man Ding felt what it meant to be unable to communicate. He had always been the one to make others suffer, but now it was his turn and he was furious: "Can't you just listen to me? I'm your elder after all. Besides, how long will it take you to earn that much money? How can Yaer even be cured?"
