Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 252 All Kinds of Birds (Wishing all readers a Happy New Year)

"Do the three of us look rich? How much does it cost to open this shop? We're just hiring the three of us to watch the shop, and we'll get a share of the profits. You guys better behave yourselves from now on, understand? If you piss these guys off, we'll kill you."

"Really? They own all the restaurants in this area and the ones in front? Holy crap, they're incredibly rich."

"How did you two meet, Lao Wu? And how did you end up watching the shop for him?"

Huang Laowu said, "My upstairs neighbor works at a restaurant, that's how we met, it's fate, you know?"

Everyone in the circle scoffed and gave him the middle finger.

Hei Zi and Lao Hou came over and asked, "What happened?"

Huang Laowu laughed and said, "I kicked him once, and then Xiao Wei threw him into the car and took him to the police station. Hey, didn't you see? Xiao Wei is so strong for his small frame. He picked him up with one hand and threw him into the car. I don't think I could have beaten him." He shook his head and gestured a few times.

Hei Zi said, "You're making a fuss over nothing. Why don't you call the police? You'll have to pay compensation if you fight. It's not worth it." Back in the 90s, fighting started to involve money, unlike before when you could just fight and get revenge if necessary.

Someone nearby said, "Do you own the police station? You think you can just call people and they'll come?"

Hei Zi glanced at him and said, "You don't believe me? I don't know about other places, but in this area, around these few shops, the police station is guaranteed to be there 24/7, and the station chief will even come personally. Do you believe me?"

Huang Laowu nodded and said, "It's true, I'm not kidding you. He's connected to the city's top dog. You all better be careful not to mess with him in the future."

The car is heading towards the police station, which isn't far away, less than two kilometers away.

The kid had already gotten up, sitting half-side up in his seat. His nose was bleeding from Huang Laowu's kick, but not much; he'd smeared it all over half his chin. He rubbed his chin and asked, "Where are we going? Who are you guys?"

Xiao Wei looked at him and said, "Why are you running around causing trouble instead of playing ball? Don't you have anything better to do?"

The guy said, "What's wrong? What's it to you? Who are you? Stop the car, I'm getting out, you hear me? Stop the car."

Xiao Wei said to Xia Maosheng, "Why do I feel like he's a complete idiot?"

Xia Maosheng laughed and said, "Anyway, he's not very good at it, and he sounds a bit dim-witted."

The young man turned to Chen Hui, who was driving, and yelled, "Didn't you hear me tell you to stop? You think I won't smash your car?"

Chen Hui turned and glanced at him, saying, "Can you afford to pay for this car if you smash it? Around 400,000 yuan. Do you have that kind of money at home? If you do, I'll let you smash it for fun."

The guy said, "I told you to stop the car, didn't you hear me? So what if I smashed it? Why should I pay for it? A broken loaf of bread for over 400,000 yuan, who are you trying to fool?"

Xiao Wei laughed and asked, "Have you ever seen bread like this before?"

Chen Hui said from the front, "He's an idiot, why bother arguing with him?" He turned the wheel and drove straight into the police station's courtyard.

Xia Maosheng opened the door and said, "I'll go call someone."

The young man got up and got off the bus as well, but Xiaowei grabbed him and said, "Don't rush, we'll come later."

The kid tugged at it a few times but couldn't get it open, and said, "Let go, you hear me? Let me go."

Several policemen came out of the house and walked over with Xia Maosheng. The one leading them was Xiao Zhang, whom he had met at their first meal. He glanced into the car, nodded to Xiao Wei, and said, "This is it? What's wrong?"

Xiao Wei said, "We set up a billiards hall, and this kid started causing trouble there. He didn't play any billiards; he just made a ruckus."

Little Zhang Chong waved his hand: "Come on, come on, come on."

Upon seeing the police, the shrewd young man didn't bother to get out of the car; he just sat there silently. Xiao Zhang stepped one foot into the car, grabbed his clothes, and pulled him out. Xia Maosheng said, "We're heading back now; we need to pick up the train later."

Xiao Zhang said, "You see all sorts of birds today. Okay, leave it to me, you guys get busy."

Xia Maosheng got into the car, and the three of them walked back. As for the kid, the three of them didn't care. They could still treat him to a meal since they'd gotten this far. Anyway, they figured he wouldn't dare to go to the billiard hall to cause trouble again.

Back here, we parked the car in the dam area and went around to take a look. Old Xu was quite quick; the windows of the watchman's room and kitchen were already sealed up, and they were working on the ceiling decorations. We offered Old Xu a cigarette, and the three of us went out to the billiard hall. (At that time, it was actually called the billiard club; the names "hall" and "city" came later.)

Once inside, the way the people looked at the three of them changed. Huang Laowu, standing at the second table, smiled and asked as they entered, "Where are they?"

Xia Maosheng said, "We came back right after they threw us at the police station, we didn't look at it."

Xiao Wei said, "If something like this happens again, don't get physical. Just take it to the police station. You don't need to stay there with them. Once they're there, they can come back, or you can ask them to come and take them away. Don't get hurt by taking action again; it's not worth it."

Huang Laowu said, "How come you're so energetic? How about we have a contest sometime?"

Xiao Wei looked at him and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, with your physique, I'm afraid I might accidentally break you and I can't afford to pay for it." Everyone around laughed, and Huang Laowu stretched out his arms and said, "Looking down on me, are you? I'm all muscle here too."

Xia Maosheng patted Huang Laowu and said, "Don't compare yourself to him, he's not a normal person."

Chen Hui laughed and said to Huang Laowu, "That day, those two were standing around. Xiao Wei knocked Lao Xia down, picked him up, ran about ten meters, and threw him into a snowdrift. Hahaha, it cracked me up. You didn't see Lao Xia's expression at the time; he was completely dumbfounded."

Xia Maosheng was quite a big man, standing over 1.8 meters tall. Although he wasn't fat, he was still broad-shouldered and thick-waisted. In this room, only Huang Laowu could compare to him in height.

Huang Laowu looked at Xia Maosheng and said with a smile, "Then forget it, I'll admit defeat. I'm a size thinner than Lao Xia, so let's not compete."

Xiao Wei said, "I grew up in the countryside. From childhood to adulthood, I've always been climbing mountains, going down rivers, and fighting. If you're not strong enough, you'll get killed by a bear."

Xia Maosheng said, "The restaurant is closed this afternoon. Let's eat together later tonight. Xiaowei's parents are coming later; their train is at 8:30."

Xiao Wei said, "Forget it, even if you're not hungry, they aren't. Let's get something to eat around 5 o'clock, the carpenter needs to eat too. We'll talk about it when my parents arrive."

Xia Maosheng nodded and said, "That's fine too."

Huang Laowu asked, "Your uncle and aunt have moved here, haven't they? Are they leaving?"

Xiao Wei said, "We're moving here and not leaving. My brother's household registration will be transferred here so he can go to school."

Huang Laowu said, "This is good. A family is one with both parents. Now that you're capable, it's better for the whole family to be together."

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "This is nothing, let's take it slow."

Someone nearby asked, "Boss, when do you open a karaoke bar or dance hall?"

Xiao Wei said, "It was just finished today, and the photos haven't come back yet. I'm not in a hurry, why are you guys?"

The man said, "Since you have such strong connections, just open it for now. What difference does it make if it's opened a day earlier or later?"

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "We have to follow the rules when we do things. If we just do whatever we want because we have connections, things will get chaotic. No matter what kind of connections you have, you'll be finished if you use them like this."
