Chapter 74: Yan Jiedi

However, Yan Bugui's attitude was quite tough; although there was a chorus of curses from behind, he still led his entire family, young and old, to block the main gate, and even Liu Haizhong couldn't help but curse loudly from the back.

With such a huge commotion outside, even Shazhu came out clutching his buttocks. Looking at the passionate neighbors, he couldn't help but curse: "I don't know what kind of dog-shit luck Zhao Gangzi has; first he had a beauty throwing herself into his arms, and now he's even got a bike!"

"He must have used up all the good fortune for his next life. It's just a broken bicycle, what's he acting so high and mighty for? Sooner or later, I'll dismantle your wheels and take apart your chain!"

Besides Shazhu, even Yi Zhonghai came out. Ever since the hellish terror he experienced last night, Yi Zhonghai's mental state was extremely fragile; he didn't dare to be alone, fearing he might see something dreadful.

He even stayed far away from Bang Geng. At the mere thought of that ghost-like Bang Geng from last night, Yi Zhonghai felt a chill, and his lower body was also throbbing with pain.

"Godfather, tell me, you've been a Level 8 Fitter for half your life and I've never seen you get a bicycle. Even though you've fallen from grace now, I just can't stand that arrogant look on Zhao Gangzi's face," Shazhu said indignantly.

Yi Zhonghai felt the same way. Don't look at him as a night-soil collector now; he still held a sense of maverick pride in his heart.

"Pillar, let's just focus on recovering our health for now. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with Zhao Gangzi later," Yi Zhonghai said, his face full of exhaustion, looking half-dead and speaking with no strength.

"I'm telling you, Godfather, could it be that we've been cursed? Look at us now, neither human nor ghost..."

"Hush!"

"Don't speak of it, don't speak of it. If you want to eat a lead bullet, don't drag your godfather into it," Yi Zhonghai shuddered violently; he didn't want to experience the way the Deaf Old Lady died.

Yesterday, he had seen with his own eyes the Deaf Old Lady coming to claim his life, with such a large blood-hole in her forehead; just thinking about it made cold sweat pour down.

Fortunately, that was just a very realistic nightmare; tonight should be fine.

Outside the Siheyuan, Zhao Gangzi came whistling by on a Forever brand Twenty-Eight Bar, with a large red flower tied to the handlebars, looking extremely vibrant.

Zhao Gangzi had been riding quite fast, and with the sky being a bit dark, if he hadn't grabbed the brakes in time, he could have sent Third Uncle Yan Bugui's family to the Western Heaven.

"Damn it, you scared the hell out of me! Why did you block the gate?"

Zhao Gangzi's heart was pounding; if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, the first person he would have run over would have been Yan Bugui.

He couldn't have his bicycle, bought only a day ago, stained with blood.

"Hehe," Third Uncle rubbed his small hands together, his eyes shining as he looked at the bicycle between Zhao Gangzi's legs, wishing he could suck the bicycle into his own eyes. "Gangzi, congratulations! You're the first one in our courtyard to buy a bicycle. Young and promising!"

Afterward, Yan Bugui gave Yan Jiedi a look. The Yan family's youngest daughter understood immediately, bouncing over to grab the corner of Zhao Gangzi's shirt, smiling as she called out: "Brother Gangzi, you look so handsome today!"

"I've only heard Dad talk about this bicycle; I didn't expect it to be so good-looking! It really suits Brother Gangzi!"

It had to be said that Yan Jiedi had a sweet mouth; even someone like Zhao Gangzi couldn't quite handle it. Plus, thinking of Yan Jiedi's tragic future, Zhao Gangzi felt even more heartbroken.

"Jiedi has such a sweet mouth," Zhao Gangzi smiled, then picked out the remaining few milk candies from the sack on the back seat—estimating there were seven or eight—and stuffed them all directly into Yan Jiedi's hands.

"Here, this is candy for you from your brother. It's very sweet!"

Zhao Gangzi gently touched Yan Jiedi's hair, and Yan Jiedi responded obediently and sensibly: "Thank you, Brother Gangzi! You really are a great person!"

"Hehe, Gangzi, look at this..."

Yan Bugui's brows twitched. As for what kind of person Zhao Gangzi was, how could he not know what he meant? Bringing a family of six to block the gate was nothing more than to take advantage of him.

Looking at the group of wolf-like neighbors behind, who wasn't staring intently at Zhao Gangzi's newly bought bicycle and the large sack on the back seat?

"Gangzi! You can't forget us now that you've bought a bicycle. I've come to offer my congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Brother Gangzi! I'll be counting on you for things in the future!"

As soon as Zhao Gangzi's gaze shifted over, a commotion broke out in the crowd. The three Yan brothers were also still blocking the gate, staring blankly at the bicycle.

If he had such a great treasure, wouldn't all the young women in Sijiucheng be his to choose from?

Seeing this scene, Zhao Gangzi couldn't help but sneer. The good things in the large sack had already been snatched up by the neighbors, and the remaining few milk candies had been given to Jiedi.

There was still quite a bit left in the sack, but it was all the leftovers; there weren't even many peanuts left, mostly just broken melon seeds.

"Alright, today is a day worth celebrating, and I, Zhao Gangzi, shouldn't dampen everyone's spirits, right?"

"Third Uncle, your family go first!"

Zhao Gangzi lifted the sack off the bike, and Yan Bugui, who had long been impatient, reached out to grab from it. This old thing wasn't satisfied with just one handful; he was practically ready to bring out his own ladle from home.

Seeing this, the people behind couldn't hold back anymore. The Liu brothers, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, broke through the Yan brothers' blockade and led the crowd of the Siheyuan to rush forward.

That scene was no different from mad dogs fighting for food.

"Old Yan! You're too unscrupulous! There wasn't much to begin with, and you still grabbed so much!"

"Don't talk nonsense, my family has many people, so what if I grabbed more? Besides, Gangzi didn't say anything!"

"Who the hell kicked me!?"

"............"

Meanwhile, Zhao Gangzi pushed his bicycle toward the courtyard. Giving these guys some benefits today would save them from messing with his bike.

It wasn't that he was afraid, he just found it troublesome.

After all, there were still many people in the Siheyuan whose conscience hadn't completely faded; not everyone was like the Jia Family, who loved to suck blood. Thinking of the Jia Family, Jia Dongxu was currently crawling forward to grab melon seeds.

Like a human centipede, Bang Geng was riding on Jia Dongxu's head, drilling into the crowd with all his might. Especially Bang Geng, who was holding a small stick and poking into the crowd incessantly.

Bang Geng: "I want to eat melon seeds! I want to eat peanuts!"

Bang Geng kept poking around with the stick, and before long, he really poked someone—the Liu brothers, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian. They already disliked Bang Geng, and this time they were completely provoked.

Taking advantage of the chaotic crowd, they threw a left hook, followed by a right hook, all landing on Bang Geng's face, and even Jia Dongxu was kicked over by the two of them.

"Damn, are the Liu brothers this tough? I really appreciate this technique!"

Zhao Gangzi watched this scene with great satisfaction; these two brothers were truly teachable.
