Chapter 93: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife
Chapter 93: Whispering to the Big Shot
Big Brother's pace was as fast as lightning, profound and unpredictable, clearly not something ordinary people could keep up with.
Zhang San and Li Si kept quiet, not daring to speak, as they were unfamiliar with Gaofeng Town and feared saying something wrong.
Luo Shiliu rubbed his chin and said, "I heard that Gaofeng Town also has people from Li Chengbin. I just don't know if they are Li Chengbin's subordinates or just some disposable henchmen."
"Dealing with subordinates who work for money is easier. If you can't beat them, they will run away. But dealing with those impulsive henchmen without any martial arts skills, it's hard to make them behave unless you have a couple of small knives or guns."
"However," Luo Shiliu changed the topic, "with a couple of small knives or guns, we can make them obedient..."
Making them obedient didn't mean Li Chengbin would be obedient; Li Chengbin was the key focus.
Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment and whispered something in a small, private conversation within the limited circle of people.
Luo Shiliu was slightly surprised but quickly returned to normal. "That's what we should do. Working as laborers every day, my hands are almost getting rusty."
Zhang San and Li Si stared in amazement, their mouths open for a while before making any sound. "Doing this... If the big boss finds out, it will completely break our relationship."
Luo Shiliu sneered, "Has he given you face? Where does the face come from? Do you think that doing a few things for the big boss will make him treat you like brothers? No, you're just cannon fodder, one less dead means one less expense."
Luo Shiliu had been with Xiao Cheng for the longest time, experiencing numerous big and small events. They had analyzed and resolved countless situations together, and their thinking and direction were generally aligned.
In their line of work, it was essential to always recognize their own position. Being emotionally involved would only lead to a faster demise.
The shotgun incident last time was a lesson. If it weren't for Bai Lu, they would be behind bars by now.
The big boss didn't see them as people. Why rush to throw themselves into danger? Even if they died, they wouldn't even get a tattered mat to cover their bodies. A Biao was a bloody example.
Zhang San and Li Si simultaneously thought of Xiao Zhongbiao's tragic fate, and their minds instantly sobered up.
"It's all about interests. Man dies for wealth, bird dies for food," Xiao Cheng casually dropped a sentence.
Turning around, he left.
Zhang San and Li Si looked at the tall and straight back, feeling that he had returned to his ruthless and cunning self.
But not entirely...
It seemed not so straightforward; he might act directly or use cunning tricks behind the scenes.
Working together for so long, the brothers had never seen this side of the big brother. Could it be taught by his wife?
Bai Lu went to the market to buy vegetables and sensed someone following her. She picked up a brick and put it in her basket.
Walking back home, the footsteps behind didn't stop, maintaining a constant distance.
It seemed like they wanted to accompany her home.
Bai Lu squinted, stopped not too far from home, across from Aunt Zhang's house. She didn't move forward.
A small grocery store had opened recently near Aunt Zhang's house, and it was not crowded. Three or four people were coming in and out.
On the right side of the small grocery store was a corner. Bai Lu leaned against the wall, holding a brick, waiting for someone.
She had looked back just now; it wasn't a robust man but a young, slim guy with a familiar look.
After waiting for a while, no one came.
Bai Lu was puzzled. Suddenly, she saw an outstanding figure, a stern-faced big shot holding the back collar of a person, tossing him in front of her.
Five meters away.
Dust filled the air but couldn't reach her face.
Bai Lu quickly hid the brick behind her and lightly landed it on the ground, a smile on her face as she hurriedly went to greet the big shot.
"You're back. Who is he?" Bai Lu grabbed Xiao Cheng's sleeve, her cold eyes turning warm. She kicked the person on the ground.
"Playing dead?"
"No, no, I dare not!" The person on the ground immediately raised his head, hands supporting his aching body.
Bai Lu then saw the face that was grimacing in pain, still trying to smile. "Chen Dafu?"
"Yes, it's me."
Chen Dafu looked like he had been hit by a heavy hammer all over his body. Afraid of being thrown by Xiao Cheng again, he quickly explained, "I wasn't following you home. I just... just wanted to talk to you about candied chestnuts."
Bai Lu didn't think there was anything to discuss. Whoever liked Chen Chunli's fiery sales could go to her.
She didn't want to.
Xiao Cheng took the basket of vegetables from Bai Lu, turned his arm, and walked towards the house with her.
Apparently, he didn't want to listen to Chen Dafu's nonsense again.
Chen Dafu's mind was slow to react. It took a while for him to realize that he hadn't mentioned the main point. He quickly caught up.
"I'm not here to plead for my sister or talk about cooperation on her behalf. I want to sell candied chestnuts with you. It has nothing to do with my sister. I'm not cooperating with her."
"I won't sell them in Qingshui Town either. I'll sell them in other towns, and my sister won't find out."
Chen Dafu was also afraid of being discovered by Chen Chunli. If she found out, she would scold him or even snatch his money. He had already identified a market in other towns.
Seeing Chen Chunli receive so much money that day, he felt the urge to make money.
He had never dared to come to Bai Lu, afraid of the consequences of being discovered. But in the end, the temptation of making money overcame his fear.
As long as he sold candied chestnuts a bit far from Qingshui Town, Chen Chunli wouldn't find out, and she wouldn't be able to take his money.
He could have his own money, save it quietly, and do whatever he wanted in the future.
Bai Lu, still holding onto Xiao Cheng's sleeve, leaned over and asked him softly, "Is this person reliable?"
Xiao Cheng nodded slightly. "He's afraid of being oppressed by Chen Chunli and has some ideas of his own."
"Occasionally, he thinks straight."
Bai Lu couldn't help but laugh. The way the big shot evaluated people was unique and distinctive.
"Isn't he afraid of being discovered by Wang Hao?"
"He doesn't care about him."
"If he goes to sell in another town and encounters a situation like Wang Cuihua's, what should he do? Will he abandon the stall and run away, or will he come back to us for help?"
"He'll find his own way to handle it."
Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu continued
their whispered conversation as they walked ahead. Chen Dafu, not getting a definite answer, wouldn't give up. Since Xiao Cheng didn't drive him away, he followed them home.
The whispered conversation continued until they reached the doorstep.
As the two were about to enter the house, Chen Dafu became anxious, hesitating about whether to follow them in.
Would he be thrown out by Xiao Cheng if he did?
"Come and pick up the goods at eight tomorrow morning."
Chen Dafu had just made up his mind to enter when a big pie fell from the sky.
Looking at the surprise, Bai Lu had already entered the house, and Xiao Cheng was closing the door, cutting off all lines of sight.
Chen Dafu, full of energy as if he hadn't been hurt just now, ran home like a motor.
He was going to make money!
He was about to turn the tide!
