21. The scumbag of the 1990s (1)
When Wei Mingyan went out again, there were people lying on the ground mourning and howling.
They all had one characteristic. There was no injury on their faces, but they were so hurt that they were so weak. Brother Long was the one who was beaten the worst. When he saw the man coming towards him, his eyes widened in horror, "What are you doing? What are you doing?" !”
The pain made him cringe. Even if he wanted to keep up his reputation as the boss, he still couldn't hide the fear on his face.
He really couldn't figure out how the bastard became so good at fighting. Although they were brothers before, he had never seen the bastard's skills because he had never gone out with them.
"Brother Long, I'm really sorry today. I drank too much and I didn't see you fall down." Wei Mingyan smiled mischievously, with no guilt on his face. He took out a dollar and stuffed it into Brother Long. In feeble hands.
"This is the medical expenses. Take the brothers and give them a good meal."
"you you……"
Seeing the person lying on the ground looking at him with a malicious look, Wei Mingyan's smile widened, he knelt down and whispered, "You should be careful next time and don't come to our village again. The road in our village is uneven, unlike the village next door. All roads have been paved by oxen.”
"You threaten me!"
Brother Long was stunned at first, and then became even more angry. However, seeing the person in front of him smiling but not smiling, as if he still respected him as before, he felt chilly in his heart and did not dare to speak out.
The fact that he led people to steal the cow from the next village was obviously well hidden. No one except his own brothers knew about it. It was impossible for a gangster like him to know about it.
If you are reported, the minimum is three years.
He was scared. He usually went out to scare people and used force to intimidate others. Now that a bunch of brothers like him can't beat a gangster, what else should he mention...
Brother Long had some concerns in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "We are all brothers, don't care, don't care."
"There's nothing interesting about your village. I won't come next time."
"That's good." Wei Mingyan smiled and stood up. He saw a few people outside the door looking around. When he looked over, they all shrank back in panic as if they had seen some savage beast. He knew it was a neighbor who heard the noise and came out to see. He lifted his feet and walked out.
Several people watching outside his house were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Only a lame old man from the neighbor on the left couldn't run. He moved back in panic and looked at Wei Mingyan with fear in his eyes.
They had watched Wei Mingyan grow up. Although this person was a bit inconspicuous, he would always say hello and call uncle and aunt when they met. He wasn't so scared, but he couldn't stand up to the people lying on the ground. .
What he saw was real. Those were the gangsters in the town. Even they dared to beat them. There was nothing the gangsters didn't dare to do.
"Uncle Chen, are you scared?"
Seeing the pitiful old man's calf trembling with fear, Wei Mingyan smiled first and explained, "We were practicing just now. If you are afraid, next time we will go to the town to practice."
"Practice, practice martial arts?"
Old Chentou obviously didn't believe what he said. How could anyone lie down while practicing martial arts?
"Really, it's a new trick I learned, but Uncle Chen, I remember you know how to do carpentry, right? When I was a kid, you even made a wooden whistle for me to play with."
I don't know why he raised this issue, but Lao Chen replied with a trembling head, "You still remember."
In the past, the bastard was always beaten by his father, and the little child's body was bruised and bruised. Their neighbors could not see that it was useless to persuade him, and they almost got beaten. Later, they could only watch the child being beaten.
The little child didn't have enough to eat and was always beaten. Other children were afraid of his father and wouldn't play with him. At that time, Old Chentou's little grandson was about the same age as Wei Mingyan. Seeing how pitiful he was, he made a wooden whistle. If you give it to him, he won't be able to just dig dirt and play.
Speaking of which, most people in this era are simple and honest. After Wei Mingyan's father died, he was raised by almost a hundred families. Unexpectedly, he raised a bastard. Normally, everyone just sighed and didn't dare to talk to this person. People interrupt.
Today, Lao Chentou was in the yard watching whether his chickens had laid eggs. He heard Brother Long's voice coming from next door, and the banging on the door became louder and louder. Then there was a fight there again. He was afraid that something would happen. , using crutches, he hurried to see it.
I originally thought that if Wei Mingyan was beaten by Brother Long and the others, he could help call the police, but he didn't expect that when he came over, he saw someone else lying on the ground.
How did the gangsters in the past know about Old Chen's good intentions? They must have thought that he was just here to watch the fun, but at this moment, Wei Mingyan knew it all.
He knew the image of a gangster in the village, so if he wanted to change this image, he had to start with the people around him.
"Uncle Chen, my family wants to build a bench. Do you think you can help me build one?"
Hit the bench!
Lao Chentou immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the gangster was trying to grab him for a long time. He was trying to bench him for a long time.
The bench is a simple thing. He just goes out to pick up some wood and can make one in less than a while.
"Okay, then I'll give you one."
"Hey! Thank you, Uncle Chen." Wei Mingyan thanked him and stuffed a dollar into Old Chen's hand.
Old Chen looked at it and immediately became anxious, "You kid, how can you pay me back? Isn't it just a bench?"
If this was a table, he would still murmur if he didn't pay. After all, it would take a lot of time, but that kind of small bench wouldn't be worth the money.
He has a simple personality and was about to retreat when Wei Mingyan forced it into his hand. This handsome man with a ruffian air still smiled so heartlessly, "Take it, Uncle Chen, you have been doing it all these years." You take good care of me, don’t you have to pay for buying benches at the market?”
"You can buy it at the market for less than a dollar!"
The two of them pushed each other, and finally Wei Mingyan said, "You watched me grow up, and you always asked Aunt Chen to give me food and drinks. I have long regarded you as an elder in my heart. If you don't accept the money, I will go find someone else to buy it. If it doesn't work for you, just spend a dollar, so you can treat it as a filial piety from me, a junior."
Old Chentou was moved and sour by what he said, so he had to accept the money, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen will definitely take care of it for you."
"Hey, let me go in and wash my face first. I haven't washed my face since I woke up."
Seeing Wei Mingyan scratching his head in embarrassment, the fear in Old Chentou's heart disappeared unconsciously.
After all, it was the child he looked after, so how could he hurt him?
Wei Mingyan went back to the house, and Lao Chentou walked back with a cane with emotion. Several neighbors who were hiding far away dared to surround him when they saw Wei Mingyan leaving.
"Old Chen, what did the gangster tell you? Why did I see him holding you and not letting you go?"
"Yeah, did he scare you?"
They all asked questions, and Old Chen smiled and shook his head, saying, "This kid asked me to bench him."
"Bench?"
Several people looked at each other, a little confused for a moment.
"Yeah, look, he gave me a dollar, but I refused to take it, and he insisted on giving it to me. He said that he had watched me grow up, and he already regarded me as an elder in his heart. Hey, this kid just remembers his gratitude, so It’s been a long time, but I still remember when I gave him a whistle.”
Bastard remembers a favor?
Thinking of the bastard who was always wandering around the village stealing eggs to eat, several neighbors looked at Old Chen with strange expressions.
Wasn't this guy stunned?
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Lao Chentou raised his crutch and beat it on the ground. He hummed and defended, "If you don't remember your gratitude, why have those gangsters in the town been causing trouble in the next village for so long and never come to us?" What about this?”
This is true...
Indeed, no other gangsters came to their village.
Seeing that his neighbors were all thoughtful, Lao Chen stroked his long beard and concluded, "If the gangsters hadn't been close to those people, how could they have let our village go? They usually call us uncle and aunt." Stay with us, am I right?"
"It seems like this..."
"It's true. I heard that the village next door is always losing chickens, but our village has never lost any."
If Wei Mingyan heard what was said outside, he would secretly laugh a few times.
Yes, the bastard did not steal chickens, he stole eggs for sustainable development.
As for not allowing Brother Long and the others to come to the village, firstly, Brother Polong in the village will look down on him, and secondly, if he offends someone too much, he will be kicked out of the village if he is alone and the others he knows are just fair-weather brothers with no sincerity. It’s not like you’re suffering.
But now, these are not problems.
Wei Mingyan opened the back door, looked around, and then whispered after making sure no one was there, "Lan Lan, you go back first, I will go to your house to propose marriage immediately, and I will never let you be wronged!"
The resentment of those drunken women in Yi Zhilan's heart disappeared without a trace after seeing the scars on the man's face that were beaten to protect him. She looked at her lover, opened her mouth, wanted to say something, and then closed it. .
Forget it, just be nice to her and it's okay to suffer a little. Once she can work, things will get better in the future.
"Lan Lan, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life and buy you a lot of gold necklaces!"
In the village, the most enviable thing is all kinds of gold jewelry.
Yi Zhilan stood outside the door, nodded with red eyes, turned and left.
Although, she didn't believe it.
How could he have the money to buy gold jewelry...
