The peninsula is like a shadow

Chapter 818 Don’t forget your original intention
South Korean trade unions often hold marches, but the results are not always satisfactory. It is unknown whether their demands will be met. Even if there is a short-term victory, the subsequent retaliation will be very obvious.

Retaliation is not uncommon in South Korea, and it applies to all industries, even public positions such as police are no exception.

He took the lead in leading the workers to fight for benefits. After several rounds of talks, they barely reached an agreement. Then, within two months, the leader was fired.

Koreans never wait to take revenge in this regard, and from this point of view alone, it can be said that they are taking revenge. Li Yan turned off the video of Zhumin's speech. Zhumin's speech was of high level and very persuasive, but if you ask Li Yan to say that Zhumin is wholeheartedly thinking about the workers, that would be too naive.

~~~
"If that bastard Zhumin dares to show up in my workshop, you'll see how I'll slap him."

Now that Dahlia is back, the tavern will naturally open. Li Yan heard the news and came to take a look in the evening.

The tavern still looks the same, but there are fewer young people. Now that their families have stable incomes, those young people think the alleys are tacky and have moved out.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction between young people and elders. Li Yan's appearance made everyone a little nervous. But after being scolded by Li Yan and looking at Dahlia's bulging belly, everyone didn't feel nervous for long before their voices got louder.

Dahlia is the representative of the alley. If Li Yan can get her pregnant, then Li Yan is a member of the alley. Not to mention that everyone has followed Li Yan for several years. They all know that Li Yan doesn't care about this. Instead, he likes to watch everyone having fun.

"Did you hear that? Old Quan said he dared to beat Zhumin."

Li Yan touched Dahlia's face and said, "I know you feel sorry for your baby, but have you gained weight again?"

"Who wouldn't dare to hit him? He has the loudest voice in a quarrel, and you won't see him in a fight. He and Zhumin's father are good friends. If he really hits Zhumin, Zhumin won't fight back. At most, he will scold him and leave."

Dahlia looked at Li Yan tenderly and gently pushed the beer a little closer to him so that he would be more comfortable when picking it up.

Li Yan still had a plate of fried rice and a bowl of beef soup. It was a bit hot today, so the beef soup was replaced with braised beef, plus a bottle of beer.

"I'll just be back for three days, and then the tavern will let the tanks run."

"Where are you going this time?"

"Why run? I like the climate over there. I like the spacious feeling over there. I have been cramped in the alleys all my life. I want to live in a spacious place."

Li Yan liked what Dahlia said because the place she was going to was her own country. Of course, this was also related to the fact that she had enough money. Although he could not give her money all the time, it would be too easy for her to settle down.

"Ah, there are no people like you. I have a name, but now you call me Tank. Is that reasonable?"

Tank was carrying a large plate of side dishes. These old guys were so stingy that they ate so many side dishes just for a few drinks.

Tank didn't sound angry when he said this. Li Yan nodded at her. Tank pretended not to see it and held the tray to distribute the side dishes.

"She is very happy. Compared to the fat pig and the fat guy, the tank is pretty good."

Li Yan shook his head when he heard Dahlia's teasing. Is there really a difference? However, why can't Tank lose weight? This is not something I can control. Everyone has their own living habits and everyone has their own deserved gains, good or bad, just accept your fate.

"More than half of the properties in this alley are now under my name. When my son grows up and wants to build a building, you have to help him."

After Dahlia finished speaking, Li Yan did not answer immediately, but slowly drank his beer. Dahlia was not in a hurry either. She held the bar with her hands and watched the drinkers who were playing with Dahlia.

"It depends on whether he is my son. He can't be too much of a jerk, but he can't be too cowardly either. You should understand that too much money may harm people with less ability."

"I don't understand too much, but if we build a building, we will have more rooms to rent out in the future."

"Did Yuner give you this idea?"

"Well, do you think Bae Joo Hyun will agree?"

Li Yan shook his head. In fact, he knew the answer. Why would Pei Zhuxuan disagree? If she helped, she had to be in control. Money could be spent, but it had to be worth it. As for what was worth it, Li Yan didn't know. Let Dahlia and Pei Zhuxuan talk about it.

"Actually, I'm very afraid of that villain."

"If she hears you say mean, your son's building will be gone."

Dahlia slapped Li Yan angrily. Li Yan smiled and reached out to grab her chest. You are deliberately making things difficult for me, knowing that you won’t get the answer yourself.

"Is it shameful to be afraid of your wife?"

“Brother, of course it’s not shameful, otherwise if he was accidentally beaten to death, wouldn’t you have to find another one?”

Li Yan stopped and looked at Basong. You have followed me for so long, but you still haven’t learned my qualities. I am a good person, so you should learn something good from me.

Basong looked at Li Yan and suddenly smiled.
"I mean, her big bear paw can easily kill me with one blow. When she finds another man to spend my money, I'll be so pissed off in the underworld."

That's right. Li Yan nodded and strolled in the alley with Basong. Occasionally, they would meet young people in a hurry on the road. They looked unfamiliar and should be office workers who came here to take advantage of the preferential rental prices.

"That's right. Commander Xu sent several people to beat me up back then."

"Brother, you won't kill them all, they are soldiers."

"I didn't fight back."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he stared at the wall. That bastard Dongxun was the one who attacked him, and he was just sitting there to catch his breath.

Basong remained silent. Li Yan turned to look at him.

"Why don't you speak?"

"I used to be beaten by the boss of the boxing gym because I was ugly, but I knew that I only needed three moves to break his neck."

Li Yan laughed and patted Basong on the shoulder. What you said is not completely right, but that is the meaning. Sometimes in life, we feel powerless. We cannot resist just because we have the courage and ability.

"Xu Xian is my wife, how did you do this?"

"I don't know if he had a daughter, but when he died he was still cursing me, saying that I would be an ugly ghost in my next life."

"He is quite a character. Believe me, Basong, you won't be ugly in your next life. After all, I am so handsome. When you are reincarnated, you will follow me."

"Well, follow big brother closely, and I will be a handsome guy in my next life."

Hearing Basong's words, Li Yan burst into laughter. This bastard Basong knew how to make him happy. He shook his head and continued walking forward.

"It's possible now, with so many plastic surgeries." "Forget about this life, I'll protect my big brother, it's better to be ugly and fierce than handsome."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Basong."

"It's an honor to serve you, big brother."

The alley left Li Yan with too many memories, bitter, sweet, and sour. He walked slowly around it, and the memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Li Yan finally returned to the car.
"I saw many people online saying that I have not forgotten my original intention and have always been thinking about the people at the bottom of society. I just tried to think about it. Basong, do you think if I really succeed, can I make their lives better?"

"Brother, if you don't care about money, they will certainly live much better. Then we can cut the necks of those chaebols one by one and let them bleed. We can live one day at a time and make every family happy. By then, Brother will have great merits. Even if we kill many people, we will definitely be forgiven."

Li Yan nodded. He had never known what the ordinary people's original aspiration was, but after walking around the alley a few times, he seemed to have found the answer: give back to the people what belongs to them, and don't be so harsh. There will be rewards for your efforts, and let more people feel that this sentence is right.

"Basong, how many people are taking photos of me over there?"

"The news from my brothers is that there are three media outlets, one of which is a gossip outlet."

"Then let them take the photos. I suddenly feel like being on the news."

Basong said something into the headset, then slowly drove away. When he reached the entrance of the alley, he felt the light of the flash but had no reaction.

[Some people shout that everything is for the grassroots people every day, while some people are secretly changing all this, President Jin’s poor alley lover. 】

Seeing this title, even Li Yan couldn't help but click in to take a look. He didn't believe that the small gossip newspaper really had the courage to report on Dahlia's story. Didn't they give them a reward for their hard work?
It turned out that the people in the entire alley were taken care of by him like lovers. Li Yan thought about it and felt that this metaphor was quite appropriate. However, you are so good at making up titles, so you’d better not do it next time.

Many of the comments below are questioning the conscience of the newspaper. According to the nature of your reporting, the title about President Kim Tae-hoon's lover makes sense, and everyone has an image of a simply dressed alley girl in their mind. Now tell me, how much money did you take from President Kim?

[From here, we just arrived at the cafe where Kwon Eun-bi took photos before, so the reporter has reason to suspect that this is President Kim Tae-hoon's secret route. Moreover, after the reporter's inquiry, the famous actress Kim Min-joo lives upstairs from Kwon Eun-bi. ]

This newspaper still has some courage. It is obviously a soft article that was criticized, but it created suspense in the end. Kwon Eunbi, Kim Min-joo, and the secret route, this seems to be right. No wonder they wrote so many words praising President Kim. It turns out that the most crucial part is yet to come. It's you who are so brave for the sake of popularity.

"Oppa, do you usually take this route?"

"No matter how far it takes, I always come directly from the north."

"It sounds very realistic, and there are map marks on it, so it seems to be very hidden."

Li Yan looked at the picture in Quan Enfei's hand, carefully identified it, pointed to one of the places and said,
"There's always a broken tricycle parked here. If you want to drive over there, you have to call out Lao Biantou, who is not from the alley. He always curses when he comes out. If anyone dares to talk back or push him, he will fall to the ground and cry for help."

Quan Enfei was a little confused. He blocked the road and cursed. This old man was too fierce. What was the point of just shouting for help? Li Yan seemed to understand Enfei's confusion.
"As soon as he yells, several old men in their seventies and eighties will appear from the alley and lie on top of your car. If you don't have $50, they won't let you go."

Concubine En turned to look at Li Yan.

"Just for 50, Oppa, they really are."

Li Yan smiled. 50? That's a lot of money in the alley.
"Really? Really shameless? Lao Bian has been doing this for more than 20 years. He has sequelae of a stroke. The police shook their heads when they saw him. The subsidy is so little. He can't starve to death, right?"

"Then he has no children to support?"

"I have five sons. They were always in debt. Now they all work in the factory. The fourth son is a small supervisor and his life is OK."

"Then he still does this kind of thing?"

Li Yan nodded, thought for a moment and said,

"In fact, Old Biantou has given you a chance. As long as you don't make a sound when he's cursing, he'll let you go. After all, no matter who asks, he'll say he didn't curse you, but his disappointing son."

"Oppa, will he scold you?"

"He cursed himself because I would just pick up his broken tricycle and throw it onto the roof. Hahahaha. Back then, I beat up all five of his sons. The old man who came to join in the fun had his last front tooth knocked out by me."

Li Yan was laughing, but Quan Eunbi stopped laughing. Oppa, listen to what you say. Others are just cursing at best, but what have you done?

"Oppa, you didn't lie to me?"

"I'm not lying to you. It's just Old Zhang who likes to drink. I really didn't use much force. I suspect he deliberately used his front teeth to hit the porcelain."

"Oppa, you're still laughing. No matter what, you can't hit an old man. You even knocked out his last front tooth. You're really outrageous."

Hearing Concubine En's angry voice, Li Yan nodded.
"It's really outrageous. He insisted on seeing me before he died. Before he died, he pulled me aside and said he remembered that front tooth."

"Then how are you going to compensate him, Oppa?"

"That old bastard insisted on writing my name before his filial son. I was fine, but my father died. The old bastard still took advantage of me after his death. I even paid for the banquet in the end."

Koreans attach great importance to funerals. Just by listening to Li Yan's words, Eun Fei knew that the old man not only forgave Li Yan, but was also very close to Oppa. Otherwise, why would he ask Oppa's name to be written before his son's? Oppa also paid for the banquet. Eun Fei hit Li Yan.
"Oppa, you are so mean. Don't say that again. You and that old man have a very good relationship."

"No fight, no friendship. He once stood downstairs from me and scolded me for two days. I had to buy him a drink to appease him."

Hearing Li Yan's hearty laughter, Quan Enfei was also very happy.
"It must be because you took care of his five sons, Oppa, you are so kind."

"I'm fine again? Concubine Quan Eun-fei, you are so fickle. You wronged me, how are you going to compensate me?"

"I'll give Minjoo to you. Minjoo has been covering his butt at home all day and has been scolding you."

Li Yan started laughing again. It was a wrong hole-in-one, but it felt good. What else could Li Yan say?

"Stop laughing. Order some Thai food for Minjoo later. She said that if you don't understand her feelings and order her something delicious, she won't forgive you."

"Just help me understand, Enfei, you are so nice. I will reward you with delicious food tonight."

"I don't want your delicious food, you should save it for Min Joo. Come on, I want to eat Thai food too."

"But can you handle spicy food? Thai food is more or less spicy. Enfei, do you dare to bet? I guess your butt won't hurt tonight. If I win, your butt will be mine. If you win, I won't bully you."

Kwon Eunbi bit her lips, she didn't dare to respond at all. No matter what she said, she would end up with a sore butt, right? Thinking of this, Eunbi was a little angry with Minjoo. She did it on purpose. Now, she had given Oppa a strange hobby. She would secretly check later how to stop the pain.
