Chapter 511: Not likable
Although the time was long, Wang An's memory of this brother, Cui Tianbing, was still very deep.
Wang An remembered the last time he met this brother, it was at the end of 1982, and the location was at the county railway station.
That time, someone paid Wang An and others to help collect a debt.
Collecting a debt is just simply getting the money back, so generally speaking, it is mainly to scare the other party.
And, normally speaking, as long as one's side has many people, the other party will be afraid and will obediently pay back the money, maybe even without taking action.
However, when they really met, Wang An and others discovered that although the other party had few people, they had guns.
But Wang An's group was just a group of loafers and gangsters who were poorer than their faces were clean. Although they often fought and brawled, it was just for a living, and they were not serious black, and they didn't have guns! It's not that they didn't want to buy guns, but they really didn't have money!
To tell the truth, Wang An thought that time, his group had to explain it there.
Because that time period was just before the big hygiene campaign.
It was also the time when gangsters and loafers were rampant. Those who were doing well and had guns could be seen everywhere.
So, facing the muzzle, Wang An and others were not only beaten up, but the IOU was also snatched and torn up by others.
It must be admitted that the vast majority of people are very honest when facing the muzzle.
Not only very honest, but also quite obedient.
Just when those few people from the other party were implementing a fierce beating on Wang An and others, while Wang An and others were squatting there and didn't dare to fight back, Cui Tianbing appeared.
It must be said that Cui Tianbing's appearance was too timely, because Wang An and others at that time were almost beaten to waste.
So Cui Tianbing fired, but only crippled the person holding the gun, and didn't kill the other party.
But Cui Tianbing's action saved Wang An's group.
Not only did they not dare to fight back when beaten, but they also had to endure it hard, and most importantly, the IOU was snatched and torn up!
You have to know that the IOU was gone, and the money wasn't collected, so the matter was big, because there was no way to explain it to the employer.
You can imagine the grievance and anger of Wang An and others, which had been suppressed to what extent? Then it was the counterattack of Wang An and others.
A group of young people didn't have light or heavy hands, so the seven people on the other side were beaten by Wang An and others until they couldn't take care of themselves.
Not that they couldn't take care of themselves for a short time, but the kind that would spend their whole life in bed.
Naturally, the money was also collected back by Wang An and others.
In fact, Wang An at that time didn't understand things, thinking that Cui Tianbing was just helping, because the other party had guns.
And Cui Tianbing's behavior was completely righteous, and there was no problem at all.
It wasn't until later that Wang An knew that Cui Tianbing couldn't do that.
And Cui Tianbing doing so could be said to be joking with his own destiny, which was very difficult.
It can be seen that this brother, Cui Tianbing, is a very particular person.
At the same time, he is also a very decent person.
Although whether it was helping people collect money or not being able to fight back when beaten.
Or Cui Tianbing suddenly helping, etc., these things have not happened in Wang An's reborn life.
But Wang An cannot take these help that will not happen as a matter of course.
Because man, no matter when, don't forget the person who pulled you or saved your life.
Ten minutes later, Wang An's horse cart arrived at Cui Tianbing's house.
Because it was built and then directly divided into a yard, Cui Tianbing's yard was not too big. The whole yard was only about one and a half mu of land. But the courtyard wall was very high, and the gate was also very high. Wang An, who was over 1.85 meters tall, was not yet at the top of the wall.
And the gate was made of very thick pine boards, which looked very sturdy.
Because the gate was closed and inserted from the inside, Wang An shouted through the gate crack: 【511-3
"Cui Tianjiang, Cui Tianjiang."
After calling out "Cui Tianjiang" a few times, Wang An saw someone walk out from the room through a crack in the gate.
After waiting a moment, the gate was opened from the inside, and only then did Wang An realize that the person opening the gate was a middle-aged woman.
Wang An had never seen this woman before, but he guessed that this was the "Mom" mentioned by the Cui Tianbing brothers.
Wang An hurriedly greeted her:
"Hello, Auntie. I'm a friend of Cui Tianbing. I heard he was coming back today, so I thought I'd come over to see him."
Wang An considered his words to be perfectly fine, because in this era in the Northeast, it wasn't common practice to call someone "Auntie."
However, this middle-aged woman, who was dressed appropriately and looked every bit the leading cadre, didn't pick up the conversation, but just looked at Wang An like that.
I have to admit, the woman's expression at this moment didn't carry any contempt, disgust, or any other emotion that would make one feel unhappy.
But even so, Wang An had the feeling of being stared at until his skin crawled.
After a while, Wang An really couldn't stand this scene anymore and said with a dry laugh:
"Um, Auntie, is Tianbing back?"
The woman didn't answer Wang An's question, but instead asked back with an expressionless face:
"What is your name?"
Wang An was taken aback by this, then pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wang An, and I know both Tianbing and Tianjiang."
Upon hearing the two words "Wang An," the woman's expression finally changed.
Expressions of disgust, contempt, annoyance, anger, and so on, all appeared almost instantly.
Wang An wasn't an idiot; he immediately realized that this woman had heard of him and, furthermore, found him quite annoying.
The woman, upon hearing Wang An's self-introduction, said very coldly:
"Neither of them is home. Don't come again in the future."
As she spoke, the woman closed the gate!
Wang An subconsciously took a step back, which saved his nose from the pain of being hit by the gate! To be honest, Wang An was stunned.
What the hell was this situation? Was he really that unwelcome? But regardless of what he was like, was this something a leader should do?
Was it really appropriate to be so obviously disgusted?
Was he not a member of the people? Really... Wang An looked at the door panel, which was only about two centimeters from his face, and really wanted to punch it.
However, Wang An didn't do so, mainly because he was afraid his hand would hurt.
Sighing, Wang An turned around, untied the horse reins, sat back on the front-left ear of the cart—the driver's seat—lit a cigarette, and then drove off with the cigarette in his mouth.
Loafers and hoodlums, in any time and any era, are truly unwelcome.
But to be honest, as a reborn person, even with a soul over 60 years old, Wang An still felt very resentful and felt that his little heart had suffered a very serious blow! Was this a bit too much?
