Chapter 570 Section Chief Wu, Help! (Seeking monthly votes)

To put it bluntly, a guy like Xiao Rascal is a newcomer who has just entered the world of gangsters.

With a fierce and ruthless spirit, he gathered a group of low-class hutong kids and then swaggered around the streets.

Only by enduring the most immature and rebellious period can there be a future.

Compared to Tiger, this little rascal is nothing.

Although he didn't know the details of the Deshengmen black market, Li Kuiyong was certain that the little rascal would never dare to recklessly touch the nearest black market.

He wouldn't dare to even open a pigeon market, let alone a black market.

In terms of individual martial arts skills, the little rascal is just like him; they both practice wrestling.

There's a significant difference between him and a burly man like Tiger who practices Iron Shirt techniques.

Not to mention someone like Section Chief Wu, who can even make Tiger Brother behave.

I've heard that Section Chief Wu is a true master.

The most notorious troublemaker in Li Kuiyong's neighborhood, or rather, the street, used to be known as "Big Scoundrel."

But this guy has been quite well-behaved in recent months, rarely showing up, and I don't know what he's been up to.

Later I heard that the big scoundrel went to the East City to show off, but was kicked away by Section Chief Wu and has been well-behaved ever since.

Such a capable guy didn't go to work on the streets, but instead became the head of the security department at the repair shop.

Li Kuiyong isn't stupid; he just doesn't like reading.

Based on what he had seen and heard, he was no longer so envious of the little rascal's so-called glory.

They even felt that the little rascal and his underlings were not doing as well as the gang of thugs who occupied the coal station in Gulou Street, Dongcheng District.

At least they have connections at the coal station, so they can leech off the boss and there shouldn't be any problems.

"That little rascal is in trouble!"

The neighborhood friend who called him out hurried along, saying quickly, "He's run into a tough guy and wants you to step in and fight him!"

"They won't use knives, will they?"

Li Kuiyong paused, then hurriedly asked, "If it involves knives, I won't get involved!"

"I don't know, I'll go see that little rascal first!"

Li Kuiyong didn't say much, but he had already made up his mind.

When he finally met the little rascal, the guy was incredibly enthusiastic.

"Kuiyong, your brother is in trouble this time!"

He offered Li Kuiyong a cigarette, but when Li refused, he didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I have a new rival. He hired a wrestling expert from the overpass, and he wrestled me and a few other fighters until we were all dizzy and disoriented!"

"That's why I know you're a formidable wrestling expert, and I want you to help defeat that guy!"

"When and where?"

Li Kuiyong didn't waste any time with pleasantries and said directly, "I usually have to help my dad haul coal, so I don't have any time at all!"

"So, when you're in school, is it okay if you skip class?"

The little rascal clearly knew about Li Kuiyong's situation and immediately set a time: "As for the location, it'll be over at Xinjiekou!"

"No problem, I was just looking for an expert to test my skills!"

Li Kuiyong nodded and smiled, "At school, I received a lot of guidance from my teachers, and I also figured out some tricks myself!"

"You're still going with your dad, all the way to the East District to transport coal?"

Having finished discussing 'serious business,' the young rascal abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Why not join the brothers and be a big shot on the streets!"

"While we wouldn't say we'd eat lavish meals every day, it wouldn't be a problem to go to a state-run restaurant for a treat every few days!"

"There are too few ways for my family to make money!" Li Kuiyong said helplessly. "I have three younger brothers and sisters. If we don't find a way to earn money, it will be difficult for them to grow up smoothly in the future!"

Of course he wouldn't tell the truth!

He could earn more hauling coal in Dongcheng District than an ordinary worker.

If you bring in a truckload of honeycomb briquettes, you can always make a dollar and fifty cents.

Earning half a cent per honeycomb briquette, a cart can carry three hundred honeycomb briquettes, which is one and a half yuan, not bad.

If you can make three trips a day, the income from simply hauling coal is four yuan and fifty cents.

Excluding days when it's raining heavily or windy and it's difficult to go out, a month's income is at least one hundred yuan.

This is also the main reason why Li Kuiyong wanted to drop out of school!
With his help, my father was able to haul honeycomb briquettes up to four times a day, earning six yuan a day.

In addition, I sometimes get jobs transporting people or other goods to Dongcheng District, so my monthly income can reach about 180 yuan!

With just two or three years of hard work, the family's financial situation will be completely turned around.

Why go all the way to Dongcheng District to pick up coal when Xicheng District is closer?
That's true, but to haul coal in Xicheng District, you need the full amount of coal coupons.

As mentioned before, ration coupons are essentially a special form of currency.

The availability of full coal coupons indirectly increases procurement costs.

The customers who buy honeycomb briquettes aren't stupid!
Since the distance wasn't far, they fixed the price of a honeycomb briquette, and in the end, the boss could earn about 0.2 cents.

With intense competition, all sorts of messy things happen.

It's better to go to Dongcheng District to haul coal; at least the Gulou coal station doesn't care so much about coal tickets.

As the weather gets colder, the profits from hauling coal are increasing.

Now, a trip to the Gulou Coal Station in Dongcheng District can earn you 0.8 cents for a single honeycomb briquette.

For all the slab owners, the large-scale emergence of honeycomb briquettes is definitely a huge boon.

As for how long these good days could last, Li Kuiyong didn't consider it; anyway, he felt that hauling coal was better than working on the streets.

Do you really think he doesn't know how people make money on the streets?

Just thinking about being looked down upon and talked about behind one's back makes one feel extremely unwilling.

Seeing his reaction, the little rascal naturally understood what was going on.

There was no pressure; they simply changed the subject: "Kuiyong, didn't you say before that you ran into Brother Tiger from Deshengmen when you were in Dongcheng?"

"He's probably having a tough time lately!"

"Oh, Tiger, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Li Kuiyong immediately perked up and asked curiously, "I heard he's doing quite well around Deshengmen, and has a lot of influence!"

"He's really doing quite well!"

The young rascal squinted and chuckled, "But how can you survive in the underworld without a few enemies? I've heard that some formidable enemies have come looking for trouble!"

"It's said that several of Tiger's men had their tendons severed within a few days, rendering them completely useless!"

"So brutal, do you know who did this?"

Li Kuiyong was startled. He was still at the age where he was brave and aggressive, but he was not ruthless enough to cripple his opponent's limbs at the drop of a hat. Hearing such a thing suddenly, he was inevitably shocked.

"do not know!"

The little rascal shook his head and said, "Rumor has it that it's most likely an enemy seeking revenge, and they're cunning and vicious. You'd better not get involved with them!"

At this moment, Tiger was kneeling in front of Wu Aiguo, begging Section Chief Wu for help with snot and tears streaming down his face. He was truly terrified.
