“Of course, of course. Brothers, please take your seats!”
Yun Gang still wanted to save some face for himself. He did not want to throw away his last bit of dignity in front of his fellow villagers. He hurriedly called out to these burly men who did not look like they would be easily provoked into taking their seats.
These burly men did not stand on ceremony either. They put down the wooden sticks in their hands and sat at the outermost table.
The leader of the burly men gave his underlings a look. Their long-term cooperation had allowed them to have a very deep understanding of each other. With a look from the leader of the burly men, his underlings knew what he wanted to do.
The leader of the burly men wanted this underling to find the person among them who collected the money and kept the accounts. Since they were not willing and took the initiative to pay back this gambling debt, then taking away today’s gift money should not be considered a robbery, right? It was just that taking back what should belong to them.
The few of them did not think that they had actually caught the wrong person. Not only did they catch the wrong person, but this person had also gained the favor of their big boss behind the scenes. So last time, they took quite a big risk and intercepted someone at the entrance of the county high school. Not only did they not get a reward, but they were even taught a lesson by their boss.
Thinking of this matter, the leader of the brawny men felt very angry, and this anger must be vented on Yun Gang. However, for the sake of this gift money, the leader of the brawny men did not plan to tear his face apart now.
After all, this time, he had to get back this debt, or else he might be the one who fell to the ground and got beaten up.
“Big brother, we didn’t find anyone who’s recording the gift money in this house, and we didn’t see anyone taking the gift money.”
The underlings that were sent out walked around the house a few times. They even went to the latrine behind the house, but they didn’t see any money at all.
“What are they doing here? They haven’t received the gift money at this time?!”
The burly man in the lead was also a child who had come from the countryside. He was very familiar with the customs of the countryside.
The burly man in the lead could not sit still anymore. He picked up the thick wooden stick that he had placed beside the table and walked to the kitchen near Yun gang.
“You guys have done this quite quickly. It’s only ten o’clock, and you’ve already recorded all the gifts and put away the money.”
The burly man’s words had a hint of mockery.
Yun Gang naturally knew what the burly man meant. He had also set his mind on this gift money and wanted to use it to replace the gambling debt he owed.
“What are you talking about, big brother? I invited these people over for dinner today, but we didn’t accept any gift money.”
Yun Gang was just telling the truth.
“What kind of nonsense is this? You’re holding a feast at home and inviting these villagers over for dinner, yet you don’t receive any gifts? Could it be that your family runs a charity hall? Are you doing charity here?”
The leader of the big men knocked the wooden stick in his hand, still not believing Yun Gang’s words.
“Big brother, you’ve misunderstood. Today, it’s our third brother’s family who is handling the matter. It has nothing to do with our family. I’m just here as a big brother to help out.”
Yun Gang’s voice became more and more humble.
“Your third brother’s family doesn’t accept money? ! Then it seems that your third brother’s family should be very rich. Since you can’t pay back the money, you can ask your third brother to help you pay it back!”
The burly man in the lead thought that he had come up with a good idea.
“Big brother, you’re joking again. Although he’s my third brother, we’re all adults now. We’re all separated and living separately. He also has a family. How could he help me pay off this gambling debt?”
Yun Gang just helplessly shook his head.
“Since you can’t come up with the money, then I’ll help you today. Let your third brother take out the money you owe, from now on, the debt between us will be written off.”
The burly man in the lead looked like I was very kind.
“Get your gear, boys. We’re going to do something big.”
The loud voice of the big man in the lead called out to the group of dark forces sitting on the table.
