Chapter 43: Hatred Value Ammunition Depot
"First Uncle, what does this mean? Let Zhao Gangzi act like a hooligan toward the Deaf Old Lady? I can't even bring myself to do that..."
A look of disgust appeared on Jia Dongxu's face.
Slap! Yi Zhonghai gave Jia Dongxu a direct slap and cursed, "Cut the crap! What kind of talk is that?"
"The old lady's meaning is very clear; it's to have Zhao Gangzi act like a hooligan toward Qin Huairu, and then we can find a legitimate reason..."
Yi Zhonghai explained it to the few of them, and in an instant, it was as if they had been enlightened; it had to be said that it was indeed a brilliant idea.
However, as the executor, Qin Huairu felt afraid in her heart.
"Then what if Zhao Gangzi really does something to me? I'm still carrying a child!" Qin Huairu said, clutching her stomach in worry.
"That's right! This is my wife!"
Jia Dongxu shook his head.
He did not quite approve of this plan.
"Rest assured, nothing will happen. When you make a sound at Zhao Gangzi's house, we will rush over immediately. Zhao Gangzi definitely won't be able to hurt a single hair on your head!" Yi Zhonghai patted his chest and promised with absolute certainty.
Even to put Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu at ease, he went all out and took five yuan from his pocket to give to Qin Huairu.
And upon seeing the money, Jia Dongxu's eyes immediately lit up, and without even thinking, he agreed to the matter on behalf of Qin Huairu.
After all, being able to deal with Zhao Gangzi and still get money, what a wonderful thing.
"First Uncle, I think with my appearance, it's still possible for Zhao Gangzi to act like a hooligan toward me,"
Seeing the money, Shazhu also started to get eager, but the next moment, he was slapped back by Yi Zhonghai.
Ever since he was beaten up by Shazhu last time, Yi Zhonghai's attitude toward this foster son had also changed, no longer as kind and gentle as before.
"Good! It's settled then!"
Once the plan was confirmed, the few of them let out a series of sinister laughs in unison.
Anyone who didn't know would have thought First Uncle was throwing a party at home.
And these conversations made First Aunt, who was washing dishes on the side, frown incessantly; she hadn't expected First Uncle to be this kind of person, capable of doing such vicious things.
"Sigh..."
First Aunt let out a sigh, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Waiting until the next morning.
Zhao Gangzi's house was likely the earliest to rise in the entire Siheyuan.
Even someone like First Uncle would sleep until six, while Zhao Gangzi could get up on time at five-something in the morning, and the first thing he did upon waking was to cook breakfast.
Every morning, a fragrance would waft out from Zhao Gangzi's place, waking countless people from their sleep.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Is Gangzi home?"
A knock on the door came, and Zhao Gangzi frowned, wondering who would come knocking on their door so early in the morning.
Holding the batter he had just mixed, he saw First Aunt with a kind face outside the door, and Zhao Gangzi asked curiously, "First Aunt, what brings you here so early?"
Toward First Aunt, Zhao Gangzi was still very polite.
And seeing that Zhao Gangzi was still so carefree, First Aunt hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Gangzi, there isn't much First Aunt can do to help you, but you should be careful these few days..."
"Also, don't tell anyone else that I've been here..."
First Aunt finished saying this, then turned and headed back to the Back Courtyard, leaving Zhao Gangzi standing there in a daze.
"Damn it!"
Zhao Gangzi had a sharp mind and instantly understood First Aunt's meaning.
Telling him to be careful these few days, didn't that mean someone was out to harm him? No need to think, it must be that old black dog Yi Zhonghai who had come up with some rotten idea again!
"First Aunt is a good person! I owe her a favor."
"Hmph, I haven't looked for trouble with you, yet now you want to provoke me? I'll definitely make you pay dearly!!!"
Zhao Gangzi's eyes were filled with malice.
Anyway, he was currently sitting on over a hundred thousand in Hatred Value; daring to fight him, they definitely had zero chance of winning. For a transmigrator, would he dare to come out and mix without some self-defense skills?
He immediately hardened his heart, went back to the inner room to pull up the System Panel, and started browsing through the weapons category.
"Hand Grenade, 50,000 Hatred Value per unit........."
"98k, 200,000 Hatred Value per rifle............"
"Blue Fire Gatling, 1,000,000 Hatred Value per unit........."
"Crushing Tyrannosaurus Battle Tank, 10,000,000 Hatred Value per unit........."
".................."
Seeing these "awesome-plus" weapons, Zhao Gangzi's face had already twisted into a look of utter despair.
"Where is this a Hatred Value System! It's simply a massive ammunition depot!!!" Zhao Gangzi's legs trembled involuntarily.
Things like hand grenades were still within an acceptable range, but the ones further down were truly getting more and more outrageous; even tanks had appeared. If he flipped further, he might even find a hand-crafted Two-way Foil...
However, these things were not realistic. Although Zhao Gangzi had this thought in his heart, the required Hatred Value points were likely something he couldn't save up in eight lifetimes.
"Should I exchange for two hand grenades and throw them into the Back Courtyard?"
Zhao Gangzi stroked his chin, hesitant.
Indecision leads to trouble; he still felt he should strike first.
Before Zhao Gangzi could make a decision, the main door rang again.
"Brother Gangzi, are you home? It's your Brother Damao; I have something to discuss with you!"
Xu Damao stood at the doorway with a smile on his lips, and he was even holding a plucked rooster in his hand; one look at this posture and it was clear he was asking for a favor.
It is hard to evaluate a person like Xu Damao; one can only say he is not a good person, though he usually has no dealings with Zhao Gangzi.
Zhao Gangzi opened the door, leaned against it, and looked at Xu Damao with a sidelong glance, unable to help but laugh: "Isn't this the Film Projectionist? Which villager's house did you pilfer this chicken from again?"
"Sigh, I, Xu Damao, am not that kind of person; I specifically brought this for you from the supply and marketing agency."
Xu Damao was carrying a chicken in his hand, and without waiting for Zhao Gangzi's consent, he walked into the house in a brazen manner.
Xu Damao is usually stingy; let alone asking him to give things to others, it would be good enough if he didn't pilfer things himself.
And now, with this behavior, there is no telling how much mischief he is brewing in his stomach.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly; don't interfere with my cooking!"
Zhao Gangzi said impatiently.
"Hehe," Xu Damao gave a lecherous smile, no longer hiding or holding back, and said seriously: "Gangzi, you must help me with this matter."
"I want to borrow your house for a few days, just for these few days, until I can fool my blind date..."
Xu Damao is no longer young, and with his status as a Film Projectionist, many young girls want to marry him, but he does not think that way.
If he is going to find someone, he must find someone with power and influence so that he can consider his own future.
Zhao Gangzi has also heard about this; it is said that this kid Xu Damao has recently climbed up to a high branch.
If there are no surprises, it must be the Lou Family!
"Gangzi, in a few days my date is coming to the Siheyuan, and I told her that I live in a big house in the Middle Courtyard, and that the furniture and everything at home is complete,
you have to help me with this, just for these few days!"
Xu Damao's lecherous old face was almost pressed against Zhao Gangzi's body.
"It is possible, I suppose," Zhao Gangzi said with a wicked grin, rubbing his two fingers together.
"Just this one chicken is not quite enough..."
