Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 57 Hero saves beauty
Kang Qirui and his cousin Bing went to the Paradise Real Estate Company, which is the Xungen Permanent Cemetery, and paid to buy 5 cemeteries. The people from the Paradise Company also gave one cemetery to his cousin Bing as agreed. After all the formalities were completed, his cousin Bing returned to the countryside. He went back to ask his third uncle to choose an auspicious day for his grandfather, Kang Qirui's grandfather, to be buried.

After sending his cousin Bing to the station, Kang Qirui took a taxi home. When he got off the taxi at the street corner, he saw the boss repairing his old bicycle, so he went over and asked, "Boss, your bicycle is broken? Why are you fixing it here?"

"Yeah, I was just about to go get some stock but it broke down here." The boss turned around and saw Kang Qirui and said, lowering his head to continue repairing the car, "It's tiring and troublesome to carry it home to fix it, so I went home to get a wrench and fixed it here directly."

Kang Qirui took a look and confirmed that he could not help much, so he said, "Then I'll go home first, boss." The boss just nodded and continued to repair the bicycle.

After walking two steps, he heard someone shouting "Robbery, catch him." Kang Qirui looked back and saw two men running desperately in front, and a woman and several men chasing behind. When he was about to go forward to help, he saw the boss throw his bicycle to the ground, and then took two pieces of rat glue from the stall selling rat glue next to him, opened them and put them behind the bicycle.

The two men ran too fast, and one of them was tripped by a bicycle and fell to the ground before he could react. The big boss rushed over and pinned him down. The other one reacted and jumped over the bicycle but stepped on the mouse glue behind him and was caught by the people chasing him.

Kang Qirui was also shocked by the series of actions of Big Brother Guang. Big Brother Guang was not very smart at ordinary times, so how could he be so smart when he was brave enough to do something righteous? Kang Qirui thought that it must be because he had rich experience in fighting when he was a child. He heard from the second brother A Yao that when someone bullied them in the past, Big Brother would fight back.

"Can you see if you have lost anything?" The boss took the handbag back from the thief and handed it to the owner. Then he turned around and taught the two robbers a lesson, "You are really brave. You did it in broad daylight."

Before he could finish, the vendor selling rat glue nearby patted Da Lao Guang on the shoulder and interrupted him, "Hey, give me back my rat glue."

"Rat glue?" The big boss couldn't think of it for a moment. "Without saying a word, he took three at once. Don't say anything, just give me the money." The vendor said unceremoniously.

"How much?" The big guy just remembered that he had indeed taken someone else's things.

The vendor said, "Ten dollars a piece, thirty dollars."

"Are you kidding me? You've been selling them for five dollars a piece just now." The big boss' eyes widened. He was just repairing a bicycle next to the vendor and heard him shouting five dollars a piece. Now he's raising the price?

"Five dollars is for catching mice, but now you are catching people." The vendor's crooked logic is full of twisted logic.

Kang Qirui was furious. He squeezed into the crowd and said angrily, "My boss is promoting you for free, but you are still ripping me off. Do you have any conscience?" With a sentence saying that the mouse glue has caught thieves, how can this business be bad? It can even catch people, so what about mice? It's okay that you don't know how to do business, but you are asking for an exorbitant price.

The vendor was also very angry and shouted, "Conscience? Can conscience be eaten?"

Kang Qirui didn't bother to be polite with the vendor, and said forcefully: "I understand that you want to make money. If you keep the price at five yuan a piece, we won't say anything. But what about you? You raise the price and charge double the price. You have no conscience at all. Meng Sheng once said, 'Even if he exists as a human being, is there a heart of benevolence and righteousness?' If you don't even have a conscience, you are not a human being."

"You are not a human, what are you?"

"What is it?" Kang Qirui walked up to the vendor and asked loudly.

The peddler took a step back, speechless and timid. In his opinion, the man in front of him was dressed politely, but his insults were so harsh that he didn't even know how to refute.

"Forget it, here you go, fifteen dollars." The big brother took out three five-dollar bills and stuffed them into the vendor's pocket, then said to Kang Qirui, "It's okay, Arui, it's not worth getting angry at this kind of person." It was also the first time he saw Kang Qirui so angry, and he was a little scared, but he was also very relieved that his younger brother defended him.

"The urban management is here." Someone shouted and the vendor immediately packed up his things and left. Before leaving, he said viciously, "Just wait for me." Hey, who's afraid of who?
"It's true that one kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people." Big Brother Guang suddenly sighed. Then he lifted up the bicycle. Just now, he threw the bicycle so hard that it was almost scrapped.

"Are you studying at Xiguan Middle School?" The woman who had just been robbed came up and asked Da Lao Guang.

The boss was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "How did you know?"

"I can tell fortunes." The woman laughed. Kang Qirui rolled his eyes beside him. Fortune telling? What the hell? It was obvious that an old classmate had recognized him.

"Let's go first." Big Brother Guang had no interest in continuing the conversation with the woman. His bicycle was so broken that he couldn't fix it himself. He just wanted to go to a professional repair shop to fix it.

"Wait, you can't leave. When the police come, you will have to tell them what happened." The woman caught up and said.

Kang Qirui thought it made sense, "Yeah, boss, you have to go and make a statement for being brave enough to do something righteous, so let me take the bike home for you first." Kang Qirui had never ridden a bike, let alone repaired one, and he was afraid that he would be ripped off if he took the bike to be repaired.

"Okay, then A'rui, you take the bike home." Da Lao Guang scratched his head, and Kang Qirui picked up the bike and went home, leaving Da Lao Guang and the woman to wait for the police.

When Kang Qirui returned home, he saw Erlao reading a newspaper on the sofa, "Erlao, why are you at home?" It was afternoon, shouldn't Erlao be in the hardware store at this time?
"There was no business in the store this morning, so I came back to rest." The second brother turned around and saw Kang Qirui carrying a bicycle, "Where did you get a broken bicycle?" "Boss, he just broke the bicycle while doing something heroic. He went back with the police to give a statement, so I helped him carry the bicycle back." After Kang Qirui put the bicycle on the patio, he came back to the living room and said to the second brother.

"Heroic? The boss has always been kind-hearted." The second boss continued to read the newspaper for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "That's not right, the boss went to make a statement, so who is in the store now?"

"No, I have to go back to the store." Er Lao was in a hurry to go back to the hardware store. "What time is it, Er Lao? Didn't you say there is no business today? There is no business at this time, so just take a day off." Kang Qirui pointed to the clock on the table. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and the customers would have come long ago.

"Yeah, they're repairing the road in front of our gate today. There are really no customers coming at this time." The second brother sat back down when he thought about the road in front of the hardware market being dug up again.

Not long after, Big Boss Guang came back.

"Wow, the hero is back?" the second brother joked.

"What a hero you are! A Zong, help me press it twice." The big man said while holding his waist. He was fine just now, but after walking for a while, he found that he seemed to have sprained his waist.

Er Lao didn't refuse. Although he was Da Lao Guang's boss, he always respected Da Lao Guang. Outside the hardware store, they were brothers, not employees. After Da Lao Guang lay down, Er Lao started to massage him, and blamed him: "Big brother, how old are you this year? You are imitating the young people to save the damsel in distress."

"Ouch," the second brother blamed, and unconsciously used more force on his hands, causing the eldest brother to scream like a pig being slaughtered, "Do you want to kill me?"

"Do you want to be castrated now? Why are you screaming so loudly?" the second brother said unhappily.

The big boss said: "Be gentle, be gentle."

The second brother relaxed his grip, but kept talking: "I'm not saying this as your younger brother. You're already in your forties, and you're still acting so hot-tempered. Do you think you're still young? Look at your bones. You don't even have much marrow. And you're trying to be a hero and save a beautiful woman. Even if you saved Lewinsky, you wouldn't be able to enjoy it."

"What are you enjoying?" The eldest brother didn't understand what the second brother meant. The others didn't refute, knowing that the younger brother was doing it for their own good.

"Of course it's to enjoy your beauty." After Kang Qirui said this, he exchanged a look with the second brother, a look that all men understand.

"Is that woman pretty?" The second brother started gossiping.

Kang Qirui smiled and answered on behalf of the big boss: "That woman is more mature than you, the second brother, and is about the same age as our big boss." He thought for a moment and said, "She recognized that the big boss was from Xiguan Middle School. Maybe they are old classmates."

"Old classmate? Wow, first love?" The second brother laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense. I have no impression of any old classmates." Big Brother Guang retorted, "I saw a ring on her hand, she should have a husband, don't talk nonsense when you go out. I think she should be quite rich, don't make trouble for yourself."

The second brother became even more curious when he heard this: "Very rich? Isn't that a rich woman?"

"Yeah, she originally wanted to treat me to a meal at a five-star hotel, but I didn't go. If someone can go to a five-star hotel, he must be very rich." Da Lao Guang's logic was correct. A meal at a five-star hotel might cost more than Da Lao Guang's monthly salary. If someone just casually spent a month's salary on a meal, who else could he be but a rich man?

The second boss slapped the first boss' waist hard, and the first boss' face changed due to the pain. The second boss said angrily: "I have seen many fools, but this is the first time I have seen a fool to the extreme." After thinking for a while, he said: "If you don't go to dinner, you should ask for the red envelope, right?"

Kang Qirui spoke up for the boss: "The boss doesn't steal food even when he's carrying shit, so why would he ask for a red envelope from someone else?"

"Tsk." Er Lao said disdainfully, "Are you carrying shit and eating secretly?"

"Alright, alright, there's more saliva than tea. Press it quickly." Big Brother Guang didn't want to discuss others behind their backs.

The second boss held the first boss' waist tightly and tortured him, "You better confess the truth. Does that old lady have 70 or 80 million? It doesn't matter if she doesn't have 70 or 80 million. Does she still have the charm? Are you attracted to her?"

Seeing the eldest brother screaming in pain, Kang Qirui hurried over to pull the second brother away, "Okay, second brother, you are going too far." While Kang Qirui was talking, a woman walked in from the door. She grabbed the second brother's ear and scolded, "What are you doing?"

"If you dare to bully him again, I will call the police."
