The few guys Li Yuan met were all well-known gangsters in the village in the city. The yellow-haired leader is Han Bing, who is a few years older than Li Yuan. The other few are his cronies, and they have also known Li Yuan since childhood.
These people originally lived in urban villages, but none of them had stable jobs. What they usually did was stealing and extorting. Most people in the villages in the city hate them, but they have nothing to do with them, and sometimes they even get bullied by them.
In Li Yuan's memory, he has never been less angry with these people since he was a child. When I was young, I was often beaten by this group of people, and when I was older, I was extorted by them for a lot of money. In short, I suffered a lot from this group of people.
Although Li Yuan always wanted to resist, but because he was weak and sick since he was a child, confronting him head-on was simply asking for trouble. Although occasionally they will come up with some "conspiracies and tricks" to retaliate against each other, but in general they still suffer a lot, so let's not say that they hate this group of people to the bone, they are also extremely disgusted.
A few years ago, the boss of Han Bing and others was sentenced for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and they also stopped for a while. But recently, it has returned to its old ways. It often appears on Guanqian Street at night, and it has begun to charge "management fees" from those vendors.
Li Yuan didn't expect that he would meet Han Bing and the others at the door of his house, and they would even be seen by them. He knew that it was too late to run away at this time, and if he really did that, he would definitely be retaliated by these gangsters in the future.
However, Han Bing calling Li Yuan won't do any good, he must just want to squeeze some oil from him. If Li Yuan didn't run away, the money he just earned from selling tomatoes would be lost.
Li Yuan, who was in a dilemma, had an idea, and quickly squatted beside the tricycle, fiddling with the pedals and shouting: "Oh, this broken car, it's broken again!"
Li Yuan pretended to be repairing the car, but in fact, taking advantage of the opportunity that the other party's sight was blocked by the tricycle, he quietly stuffed most of the money under the wooden board of the car body, leaving only a little more than a hundred yuan in his pocket .
There is also a reason why Li Yuan did this. If Han Bing and the others found that he didn't have any money in his pocket, they would have to beat him a few times to vent his anger. And if Han Bing and others didn't return empty-handed, Li Yuan naturally wouldn't have to suffer. These are Li Yuan's experiences gained over the years. It may sound common, but in fact they are all experiences gained through blood and tears.
As soon as the pretending Li Yuan hid the money, Han Bing brought his cronies to the tricycle. He raised his leg and kicked the tricycle, cursing and saying: "What a broken car, just throw it away!"
"You can't throw it away. I borrowed this car, and I have to accompany it after throwing it away." Li Yuan stood up from the back of the car, forced a smile at Han Bing and the others, "What do you want me to do?"
Han Bing said angrily: "Of course my brothers told you to do something! Brother Jun is coming out soon, we have to give him a chance to get rid of his bad luck, but...money is tight recently."
Speaking of this, Han Bing tilted his head and looked at Li Yuan, and then sneered: "Look at your happy face, you have been doing well recently, right? Take out how much money you have, and ask the brothers to help you spend time together!"
Han Bing has said the same thing to Li Yuan many times. For so many years, these guys have always been this kind of virtue and have not improved at all.
And Li Yuan's way of coping didn't change much, he said with a sad face: "Bingge, you know my situation, where do you have any spare money, you are quiet, the whole body is only more than a hundred yuan..."
As Li Yuan spoke, he took out the small change that he deliberately left in his pocket, and Han Bing immediately snatched it away. He quickly counted the zero bills in his hand, his expression became ugly, he looked up at Li Yuan and said, "It's only over a hundred yuan? Are you sending a beggar?"
"It's inconvenient recently, these are all my property!" Li Yuan simply turned over all his pockets and showed Han Bing, expressing that he was not lying.
Li Yuan didn't wear much clothes in summer, so Li Yuan only had three pockets all over his body. Han Bing and others could easily see that he really had no money on him.
Since Li Yuan had nothing to squeeze, Han Bing and the others didn't bother to spend more effort on him. A few people cursed and expressed their contempt for Li Yuan, a "poor guy", and left with the money they just got from him.
If it was a few days ago, more than one hundred yuan would have made Li Yuan feel bad for a few days. But now there is a shadow of a broad road in front of him, and the more than one hundred yuan is nothing.
But this doesn't mean that Li Yuan didn't take it seriously. Although he seemed calm on the surface, his heart was full of disgust for these gangsters.
Looking at the back of Han Bing and others leaving, the smirk on Li Yuan's face gradually disappeared, and he muttered to himself coldly: "My buddies have endured it for so many years, sooner or later, I will settle the score with you!"
In the past, when Li Yuan wanted to teach Han Bing and others a lesson, he had to find a way to do it secretly. And even if this is the case, they can only slightly punish this group of people, there is no way to express the anger in their hearts, and they have to be careful not to be discovered by these guys. But now that Li Yuan has the magical peach pit, his confidence is much stronger than before.
Li Yuan knew that although Han Bing and others were mighty in an urban village, they were just insignificant and small roles in the society. When Li Yuan made a lot of money by relying on peach pits and gained social status, dealing with this group of people was nothing more than a piece of cake.
Li Yuan has already made up his mind, and he must deal with this group of people well. Not only to vent their anger for themselves, but also to avenge other neighbors who were bullied by them.
But for Li Yuan, it's not time to take revenge on Han Bing and others, but to go back and see how the ginseng he planted yesterday is growing.
Putting the money hidden in the tricycle into his pocket, Li Yuan first returned the car to his neighbor, Uncle Wang, and then walked home unhurriedly. When he was still some distance away from home, he saw someone standing at the door.
Seeing this person, Li Yuan frowned again, and could not help complaining in a low voice: "What kind of day is it today, why are you meeting all these nasty guys!"
Standing at the door of Li Yuan's house was his landlord and Wu Hua's father, Wu Jinlong. If you want Li Yuan to make a ranking and name the person he is least willing to meet in this urban village, Wu Jinlong is second only to Han Bing and others, and also belongs to the type of person Li Yuan hates the most.
Wu Jinlong is in his fifties, has a beer belly, and has few hairs on the top of his head. He has grown the hair on one side and combed it to cover the bald top of his head. In Li Yuan's words, this is called "local support to the central government".
However, this hairstyle is okay in normal times, but it will be a little troublesome in windy weather. Today, it happened to be very windy, so Li Yuan could see the long hair on one side of Wu Jinlong's head messy in the wind from a distance.
Wu Jinlong also saw Li Yuan, so regardless of his fluttering hair, he greeted him loudly: "Xiao Li, what a coincidence that you came back, I just happened to need you, come, come quickly!"
