A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Sister Li became even more nervous and interrupted me, "What did he say?"

"Sister Li, it's alright." I comforted Sister Li.

"I'm your own brother. No matter what others say, you're still my own sister. That drunkard didn't say anything serious. I'll report back to you when you get back."

Sister Li was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you, brother. We'll talk more when I get back. I'm still in my hometown, planning to visit Xiaogang at the farm tomorrow or the day after."

"Is Sister Li at home?" I was also feeling a bit homesick, and hesitated before asking, "Have you seen any of my family?"

"Brother, I'm torn too. I don't know whether I should go to your house or not," Sister Li sighed.

"How about I buy some things and go see your parents and your second uncle? If they ask you, I'll just say you're helping me with some work; we run a rental agency."

I laughed: "Okay, Sister Li, that's settled then!"

Actually, my second uncle knew everything; it couldn't be kept secret.

After Sister Li hung up the phone, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't told Sister Liang about it.

So I called back.

Sister Li didn't know Sister Liang San, but she knew about Brother Liang Lao Si, and she also knew that Hu Xiaogang was imprisoned because of Brother Liang Lao Si.

"That bastard is in our hands now!"

Upon learning of the situation, Sister Li was extremely agitated: "Brother, hold your fire for now. Let me return and we'll discuss how to deal with Sister Liang. I will not rest until this is avenged!"

"Don't worry, Sister Li, we can do whatever we want to Sister Liang here!" I was also a little excited.

Being able to avenge my good brother is enough to make me a true man.

After hanging up with Sister Li, I knocked on the door to find Gao Jianfeng and the old squad leader.

But none of the guys were there; they'd probably gone off to scam people again.

I turned around and went downstairs, intending to tidy up the card room across the street.

Luo Hongyu stayed there last night and made a complete mess of it; it needs to be cleaned up.

As soon as I stepped out of the building, I heard people shouting and dogs barking.

A large wolfhound, with a long leash around its neck, was chasing a woman in a white dress and a child of about ten years old, barking incessantly.

The woman in the white dress, clutching several books, was terrified, but bravely protected the child, shouting, "Help! A dog is biting me!"

The little child cried loudly, also protecting the woman in the white dress: "Teacher Bai, run!"

I paused for a moment, then pulled out a metal lighter and flicked it out.

boom!

It hit the dog's head squarely.

The wolfhound was startled, took two steps to the side, and barked wildly at me.

I picked up the plastic stool in front of the fat woman's door and bluffed, "Come on, try and bite me if you dare!"

The plump woman was shocked and jumped out, shouting, "Little Wang, don't lay a hand on him! That's Xiong Ge's wolfhound, you can't hit it!"

Dao Zai Xiong's dog?

I didn't care, and turned around and laughed, "Since it's Xiong Ge's dog, then there's even less of a problem. I can beat it to death and eat it as dog meat hot pot, it's fine."

The plump woman frowned and shook her head: "Don't be silly, Xiong-ge really likes this dog..."

As we were talking, Dao Zai Xiong's mistress, Ah Xiang, strolled over, grabbed the dog leash, and frowned at me.

The woman in the white dress, still shaken, hid behind me with the child, repeatedly thanking me, "Big brother, thank you."

"You're welcome." I shook my head and greeted Ah Xiang, "Sister Xiang, out for a walk?"

"Was it you who hit my dog?"

Ah Xiang's expression was unfriendly as she stroked the dog's head: "Brother Xiong loves this dog the most. You hit Brother Xiong's dog, aren't you afraid he'll punish you?"

I was annoyed by that and said calmly, "Brother Xiong considers me a friend, he wouldn't turn against me over something like this, would he? Just now, your wolfhound bit someone, and I did the same..."

"I'm dead meat, I have the money to pay, what's it to you?"

Ah Xiang got even angrier and took out her phone to make a call.

Needless to say, this call was to Dao Zai Xiong to complain about me.

I simply lit a cigarette and watched Ah Xiang complain.

Ah Heung dialed the phone and spoke quickly in Cantonese.

I don't really understand, but I heard Ah Xiang call me an outsider and Sister Li a little fox...

His words were extremely rude.

She was very polite when I visited Dao Zixiong's villa last time. I never expected that today, because of a dog, she would become a completely different person.

Two minutes later, Ah Xiang finished her call, glared at me, turned and left with the dog, leaving behind the words, "You wait, Xiong Ge will come looking for you."

I smiled wryly and nodded.

It would be better if Daozai Xiong contacted me; I don't like arguing with women like Ah Xiang.

The woman in the white dress picked up the books from the ground, bowed to me, and thanked me, saying, "Thank you so much, brother. We're sorry to have troubled you. That woman just now..."

"It's okay, I'll take responsibility for my own actions."

I turned my head and looked the woman up and down: "Are you... a teacher?"

This woman is very young, about my age, and she's already a teacher. That's amazing.

"I'm a temporary teacher, a substitute teacher."

The woman in the white dress shook her head with a wry smile and pointed to the north side of the street: "My name is Bai Lulu. I teach at the migrant workers' children's school behind here. I've only been here for a little over a month..."

Is there a school for migrant workers' children behind there?

I looked back and was somewhat surprised.

Here, I'm practically a bandit leader, yet I had no idea there was a school for migrant workers' children.

"Yes, it's been running for three years, but it's not making any money." Bai Lulu nodded and invited me, "Would you like to come and visit our school? I'll treat you to dinner."

"Maybe next time," I declined with a smile.

Just then, the phone rang; it was Dao Zai Xiong.

I answered the phone, knowing the answer already, and asked, "Brother Xiong, what's up?"

"It's alright, bro, it's alright." Dao Zai Xiong laughed heartily. "Just now, did you two have a fight, did that nag Ah Xiang? Don't mind her, women always cause trouble."

"We didn't argue, Xiong Ge. It's just that Xiang Jie was walking her dog and she wasn't holding onto the leash properly. The wolfhound chased and bit a passerby, so I hit the dog on the head with a lighter."

I didn't want to ruin things with Daozai Xiong, so I took a step back and said, "I'm really sorry, Xiong-ge, I didn't know it was your dog."

"Haha, we're brothers, what's a dog? We could kill it and eat it, it'd be fine." Dao Zaixiong was quite forthright, then asked, "Have you sounded out Director Song yet?"

"Brother Xiong, give me a day or two, and I'll give you definite news. Whether it works out or not, I'll find out for you."

"It's a deal!" Dao Zixiong hung up the phone.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Ah Xiang, that damn bitch, tried to scare me with that knife?

Bai Lulu hadn't left yet; she was looking at me.

I waved my phone: "The person who just called was the dog owner. He said it's fine, he can kill the wolfhound and eat the dog meat. Teacher Bai, don't worry."

"Thank you, brother. By the way... what's your name?" Bai Lulu thanked him again.

"Wang Yaozu".

"Okay, Brother Wang, here's your phone number..."

"Sure, I'll give it to you." I smiled and gave him my phone number.

Bai Lulu took out a ballpoint pen from her book and wrote down my phone number: "Our school is right behind us. We welcome Brother Wang to come and give us some guidance."

guide?

I smiled, shook my head, and waved goodbye.

I would give you no guidance whatsoever.

At six o'clock in the evening, I sat in front of Fat Sister's fried rice noodle shop and smoked.

Ding Zhili arrived, and Lei Zi and Liang Zai also arrived.

Kuai Dafa came running over with a case of liquor and two packs of good cigarettes, his face beaming: "Brother Zu, you're really punctual!"

I nodded slightly and accepted Kuai Dafa's gift with a smile.

Suddenly, five burly men rushed out of the stairwell and, without a word, pinned Kuai Dafa to the ground: "You fat bastard, don't move! We're checking your residence permit!"
