Chapter 17 Threats



Mai Sui and Mai Lao San each carried a large bamboo basket.

Because we brought a lot of prey this time, one bamboo basket couldn't hold it all.

This time, the two did not take a minibus into the city, but rode bicycles, which took three and a half hours.

Mai Laosan stepped on the pedal so hard that it was almost smoking, but Mai Sui was still not satisfied.

But there is nothing you can do if you are not satisfied. Buying a car these days requires more than just money.

The key is that they have no money now!

The two rode their bicycles directly to Sixi Street, which they knew well.

Then, following the same procedure as last time, all the prey in the two bamboo baskets was sold out.

This time Mai Laosan had experience, so he directly quoted three times the price. The other party thought it was too expensive and bargained a little, so Mai Laosan lowered the price appropriately.

In the end, three pheasants, seven rabbits, and twenty pheasant eggs were sold for a total of 62.7 yuan, plus some receipts.

Mai Sui and Mai Lao San were happily packing up their things and preparing to go back, when they were suddenly stopped by two burly men.

The other person was tall and strong, with a full beard and a fierce look on his face, and it was obvious that he had no good intentions.

Just as Mai Sui was about to strike first, he heard Mai Lao San shout, "Lao Ding, why are you here? Are you also active in this area?"

"Mai Lao San?!"

Lao Ding's face was full of surprise, and his fierce expression was immediately ruined.

Just now he heard from his subordinates that the guy who sold pheasants yesterday came again.

Moreover, this time it brought more prey.

Lao Ding hurried over with Lao Li to check, and unexpectedly it turned out to be Mai Lao San.

Lianhua Village, where Mai Laosan lives, and Mujin Village, where Lao Ding lives, are right next to each other, less than ten minutes' walk away.

In the past, the two of them often played cards and fooled around together, and they were very familiar with each other.

Before, Mai Lao San wanted to go to the black market with Lao Ding, but after Lao Ding asked the eldest boss Yan Feng, he did not agree.

He never thought that Mai Lao San would actually go out on his own!

Lao Ding had a complicated expression and asked, "Mai Lao San, where did you get the prey?"

"I caught it in the mountains. There are the most prey in the mountains at this time of year. You should know this best."

"You caught it?" Old Ding looked incredulous.

Mai Lao San said calmly: "Of course, who else could it be!"

Lao Ding thought about it and agreed. He knew the situation of Mai Lao San's family and knew that they definitely didn't have the money to buy prey.

Now the countryside is promoting double-gun hunting, and everyone is working in the fields. Except for idle people like Mai Laosan, no one will go into the mountains to hunt at this time.

All I can say is that he had underestimated Mai Lao San before, and he didn't expect that he had such ability.

However, even though we know each other, we still have to collect the money we owe.

"Mai Lao San, the black market in the south of the city is under the control of Brother Feng. If you want to ship goods here, you have to pay your respects first."

Mai Laosan understood immediately and asked quietly, "How do you worship?"

"Every time you come, pay 50 cents first, no matter how much you sell. Also, the price cannot be lower than the average price we set."

Seeing that Mai Lao San didn't respond, Lao Ding kindly reminded him, "Mai Lao San, what kind of friendship do we have? How can I cheat you?

The black market in this city is very complicated and not as simple as you think.

Brother Feng's place is relatively good. You can go to the north and west of the city, where there are more.

Moreover, once you pay the money, you won't have to worry about the Red Sleeves Soldiers. They will definitely not arrest you.

Even if I catch the wrong person by accident, Brother Feng can still get you out."

Of course, you'll have to spend some money then.

Lao Ding didn’t say this clearly.

We are all adults, and we should all understand that there is no free lunch in the world.

However, what Lao Ding didn't know was that Mai Lao San had no say in this matter and had to ask Mai Sui!

Mai Sui had done this kind of thing before, in her original world.

Even though she is in a desperate situation now, it is a dream to think of taking money from her pocket just by relying on these small fish and shrimps!

So, when Mai Lao San turned around to ask her opinion, Mai Sui replied directly and domineeringly:

"Old Ding, right? Go back and tell your boss that we are just trying to make a living. If he turns a blind eye, I won't make things difficult for him.

If he doesn't know what's good for him and wants to take advantage of others, I don't mind spending some time to teach him how to behave!

I have said all that needs to be said. I hope you will take care of yourself.

Mai Lao San, let’s go!”

After saying that, Mai Sui left without looking back.

Upon seeing this, Mai Lao San quickly bowed to Lao Ding and said, "I'm sorry, Lao Ding, my daughter doesn't agree."

Lao Ding scratched his head in disbelief, then said angrily, "No, Mai Lao San, you are making fun of me!

You are a father, and you can't take care of a little girl? Stop pretending!

For the sake of our acquaintance, I am talking to you in a friendly way now, so don’t let things get ugly later. "

"Mai Laosan, why aren't you leaving yet!" Seeing that Mai Laosan didn't catch up, Mai Sui turned around and shouted.

“Here it comes!”

Mai Laosan was so frightened that he no longer cared about Lao Ding. He immediately put on the bamboo basket, pushed his bicycle, and chased in the direction of the wheat ears.

Only Lao Ding and Lao Li were left, looking disheveled in the wind.

It was not until Mai Sui and Mai Lao San walked away that Lao Li came to his senses and asked, "Aren't you going to chase them?"

Lao Ding said angrily: "Don't worry, I know where he lives. The monk may run away, but the temple cannot.

But his eldest brother is the captain of Lotus Village and has connections in the city, so I have to ask Brother Feng for his opinion on this matter first."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news. However, this Mai Lao San's daughter seems to be quite strong-willed, much stronger than Mai Lao San."

Old Ding glared at Old Li calmly and said, "Who are you from? You are just a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Once you see how powerful we are, you will be afraid."

Yan Feng is a native of Xiangxi, 25 years old this year. Although he is young, he has been in the black market for more than ten years and has seen all kinds of scenes.

In the past few years, the nationwide anti-corruption campaign was so strict, but he was able to remain safe and sound. He must have some real skills.

Lao Ding explained Mai Lao San's identity to Yan Feng and relayed Mai Sui's words.

Yan Feng was so angry that he laughed.

If his rules can be broken by just a harsh word, how can he manage the people below him!

Therefore, Yan Feng ordered Lao Ding: "If Mai Lao San dares to come again next time, just beat him up and confiscate all his things. I'll see how he can keep his mouth shut!"

Speculation is something that should not be tolerated in the open. If something is stolen, people can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

But there are also some tough ones.

Yan Feng has experience in this regard. If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times. Even the hardest bones will eventually become soft.

As for the fact that Mai Laosan's brother is the team leader, Yan Feng is not afraid.

No matter how well connected a rural team leader is, he cannot compare to the people he has done in the city over the years.

Besides, this matter cannot be discussed openly. Perhaps the other party simply does not dare to stand up for Mai Lao San.

.......

On the other side, Mai Sui acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't care about Lao Ding and the others at all and was happily strolling around the supply and marketing cooperative.

Mai Lao San was a little worried and asked Mai Sui repeatedly: "Girl, is it really okay for you to just refuse like this?"

Mai Sui was annoyed by the questions and frowned, "Mai Lao San, are you a man? Can you have some backbone? You are scared like this by just two words from the other party?"

Being told by his daughter that he was not a man, Mai Lao San looked embarrassed: "A wise man does not suffer a loss in front of him, and a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. I am just worried."

"Don't worry, they are not local tyrants, at best they are just rats in the gutter.

If they dare to come, it will be a good opportunity for you to open your eyes and see how powerful I really am!"

For some reason, Mai Laosan suddenly became a little worried about Lao Ding.

But please don't let anyone get killed. He has never gotten into such a big trouble in his life.

"Don't worry, I know my limits!"

Mai Sui looked at Mai Lao San with disdain and decided not to bring him tomorrow. He would replace him with Mai Hongcai and let Mai Lao San go to work in the fields.

Mai Hongcai: Sister is wise!
