The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

Upon hearing this, Fatty Liu's face turned green.

Forget about saving face, he put on a mournful face and started to play the victim: "Brother Wolf! Brother Tiger! I'm innocent! My business has been really bad lately. Look, I haven't sold much meat."

"My wife and kids are waiting to eat at home, and there are also stall fees and management fees..."

"I really don't have any more money. Can I return the hundred yuan?"

"I admit my mistake, and I will never dare to take money arbitrarily again."

"Shut up!" Wolf Bro interrupted him impatiently, his eyes fierce. "Whether business is good or not, I'm not blind."

"There are only a few butcher shops in the entire Daliang Town. How bad can your business be, Fatty Liu? Don't fucking complain about being poor!"

"Regardless of whether you have business or not, you have to take this money today!"

If you can't come up with the money, find a way to borrow it or scrape together the funds.

He paused, took a step closer, almost face to face with Fatty Liu, and said in a low, threatening voice, "Otherwise..."

Fatty Liu was so frightened his heart nearly jumped out of his chest, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his voice trembled: "No... what else?"

Wolf Brother's lips curled into a smile as his gaze swept over Fatty Liu's fairly tidy meat stall, then over his face, and he said slowly, "Otherwise, you can forget about this stall."

"Don't come to the vegetable market in Daliang Town anymore."

"Not just the market, you're not staying in this entire town of Daliang any longer, understand?"

This threat is no longer a simple matter of paying money to avoid disaster; it's about cutting off his livelihood and even driving him out of Daliang Town.

Fatty Liu shuddered, instantly realizing that this was definitely not as simple as him collecting a hundred yuan for the stall.

He must have offended someone he shouldn't have, and that person was quite capable, able to command Wolf Brother and Tiger Brother to come and cause him trouble.

His mind raced. Apart from that kid who gave him the money, he hadn't offended anyone today, had he?

Could it really be that kid?

But that kid looks ordinary, and doesn't seem like someone with such great abilities.

Fatty Liu felt a mix of fear and confusion, but more than anything, he was terrified of the unknown forces at play.

He knew that bleeding was inevitable today, but he wanted to die knowing why.

"Brother Wolf, Brother Tiger, I...I admit defeat!"

He gritted his teeth, his voice trembling with tears, and asked, "I can find a way to get the money, but... but could you two please tell me which deity I've offended?"

"Let me learn my lesson and avoid this place in the future."

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

As soon as he asked the question, Tiger, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly stepped forward, raised his hand, and shoved Fatty Liu hard, making him stumble. He cursed gruffly, "Just remember, loose lips sink ships! Watch your stinking mouth!"

"As for who you offended, go back and think about it carefully. Who did you talk to today, and whose money did you take?"

Tiger's reaction was tantamount to admitting Fatty Liu's guess that someone had indeed contacted him, and that this person was very likely the one he had a grudge against earlier that day.

Yang Shuisheng's face flashed through Liu Pangzi's mind again in an instant.

He simply couldn't believe that the country boy who seemed to have no background could have such great power.

He couldn't care less about anything else, clinging to his last sliver of hope, he pressed on, "Was it a young man? The one dressed very casually? Was he the one who contacted you?"

As soon as he said that, Wolf Brother's face darkened.

"boom--"

Tiger's reaction was even more direct. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his fist. Without any warning, he delivered a solid punch to Fatty Liu's round belly.

"Aww—"

Fatty Liu screamed, clutching his stomach and bending over, his face turning a deep purplish-red as he cried out in pain, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"You son of a bitch, show me some respect!"

"If you dare to spout nonsense again, I'll break your legs."

Tiger withdrew his fist, cursing fiercely as he swept his eyes across the crowd of onlookers with a warning.

His reaction was tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked.

Everyone present, including Zhao Erniu and his group who were watching from a distance, heard and saw everything clearly.

Zhao Erniu and his companions in the crowd instinctively turned their heads in unison and glanced towards the noodle shop outside the market, their faces filled with shock and lingering fear.

Considering that Yang Shuisheng had left for a while earlier, how could they not understand?

Yang Shuisheng went to find people, and those people were Tiger Brother and Wolf Brother.

Previously, there were rumors circulating in the village that Yang Shuisheng had a good relationship with Brother Kun in the town, but they were skeptical and thought it might be exaggerated.

But now that I've seen and heard it with my own eyes and ears, how could there be any exaggeration?

In an instant, all the resentment and jealousy Zhao Erniu and the others felt towards Yang Shuisheng vanished, replaced by a sense of awe and relief.

I'm glad I didn't really fight Yang Shuisheng to the death on the election stage, and I'm also glad I agreed when Yang Shuisheng asked them for help.

Yang Shuisheng is someone they can't afford to offend.

From now on, not only should we not provoke him, we must also cling tightly to this powerful figure.

"Brother Wolf, Brother Tiger, I was blind to your greatness, I was wrong."

Fatty Liu took a punch, and the pain made his stomach churn. But at the same time, he finally understood that it was that kid!

That young man he looked down on actually had such a powerful background.

"I really know I was wrong!"

He dared not harbor any more illusions, and ignoring the pain in his stomach, he forced himself to straighten up, forcing a fawning smile that looked worse than crying, and shakily pulled out two crumpled hundred-yuan bills from his pocket.

This was almost all the liquid funds he had, which he held in both hands and respectfully handed to Brother Wolf.

"This two hundred yuan is a small token of my appreciation to you two gentlemen. Please, I beg you, have mercy on me and let me go. I promise I will never do it again."

"I promise, if I see that person again... I'll avoid them."

Wolf Brother's expression softened slightly as he looked at the two hundred yuan, but he didn't take it. He just silently looked at Tiger Brother.

"Damn it, it's been quite a few days since I've had a proper meat meal."

Tiger snorted and didn't even look at the money. Instead, he clicked his tongue, as if talking to himself, or perhaps deliberately saying it to Fatty Liu: "There's not much money in this."

Fatty Liu was a shrewd man, and he immediately understood the implied meaning.

This is like demanding sex as payment when money isn't enough.

His heart was bleeding, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, and hurriedly nodded and bowed: "Yes! There's meat! Brother Tiger, if you want meat, it's easy enough!"

"Please feel free to pick any meat you like! There's plenty!"

As he spoke, he quickly turned around, ran behind his meat counter, and without caring about the loss, picked up a sharp cleaver and, with a few quick cuts, chopped off a good four or five pounds of pork belly and tenderloin from the best piece of lean and fatty meat on the cutting board. He strung it with hemp rope, wrapped it in clean oil paper, and presented it to Brother Tiger with both hands.

"Brother Tiger, do you think this amount of meat is alright?"

"Take it home and stew it, or stir-fry it, it'll be delicious!"

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, a treat for you and your brothers."
