Jiang Changshun initially thought Lu Yao was bluffing.

They wouldn't dare to actually shoot and kill someone.

So he stubbornly tries to act cool in front of women.

As a result, Lu Yao actually fired a shot.

My head jolted, and I thought I had been killed. I tumbled to the ground.

Jiang Jianhai was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

But then they saw that Jiang Changshun's left ear had been blown off by a bullet, and his face was covered in blood.

Lu Yao pressed the gun against his forehead again:

"Offal, want to try some more?"

"No, spare me, you little rascal! I'm your brother!"

Jiang Changshun was so scared that he peed himself.

They dared not be arrogant anymore.

Jiang Jianhai also crawled over on his knees:

"You little rascal, don't kill your cousin! We were wrong!"

The young boy, Jiang Laifu, quickly knelt down with his grandfather and begged Lu Yao.

Lu Yao sneered, "Jiang Changshun, not only do you abuse your wife and beat your father, but you even dared to attack the commune militia company commander with a knife! I'm going to take you back to the militia company and send you to a labor camp for a few years to correct your bad habits!"

As he spoke, he took out the handcuffs from his waist.

Handcuffs were an arresting tool that only militia company commanders possessed.

Jiang Changshun was terrified.

"Tuwazi, you...you're...a company commander now? I was wrong, please don't arrest me. I don't want Chunyan anymore, I'll give her to you, just don't arrest me!"

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Lu Yao was both angry and annoyed.

"Damn it, how did I end up with such a useless relative? Get out of here."

Then he reached out and picked up Jiang Laifu, calling to Chunyan:

"Sister-in-law, come inside with me. Put your pants on, I need to talk to you about something."

The swallows were already shivering from the cold.

Jiang Changshun forcibly pulled it off inside the house.

He swung a broom and hit it.

Startled, she ran out, but he grabbed her and pinned her to the well platform after only a few steps.

Back inside, she put her pants on and kept crying.

Lu Yao sighed, "Sister-in-law, don't confront him directly in the future. If anything happens, come to the militia company to find me. If it happens again, I'll have him locked up for a few days. Once he knows the consequences, he won't dare treat you like that again!"

"No, no!"

Before Lu Yao could finish speaking, Jiang Changshun, who had one ear covered, came in.

A fawning smile on his face:

"You little rascal, I promise I'll never hit her again. Did you come here to sleep with your sister-in-law? Give me the child, I'm going to your uncle's room in the backyard. You two can do whatever you want!"

This guy changes really fast.

Upon seeing that Lu Yao had been promoted to the position of militia company commander in the commune, no one dared to provoke him anymore.

His father, Jiang Jianhai, bandaged his ear while telling him to come over and say some nice things.

Otherwise, being taken to the militia company would be no good.

He was arrested by the militia for beating his wife at the commune gate in town.

He got a good beating.

Hang him up and beat him.

They even sent it to a sand quarry to pick sand for half a month.

My soles were covered in blisters.

I never want to talk about this after I came back, because it's too embarrassing.

Those two weeks were a shadow that would haunt him for the rest of his life.

So he was afraid whenever the militia was mentioned.

Fearing that her son might disobey and upset Lu Yao, she told him about what happened back then.

Jiang Changshun was so frightened that he rushed over.

After taking the child, they need to make room for Lu Yao.

Lu Yao tugged at his collar and pulled him back:

"I'm warning you again, if you ever lay a finger on Sister Chunyan again, I'll come and arrest you."

"I wouldn't dare! I went to the city yesterday with some people to find odd jobs. I was carrying heavy loads with them at the freight station, trying to earn some money for the New Year. I saw those people playing cards and got a little tempted, and now I've racked up some debt. They said they'd come to collect it this morning, but I can't afford to offend them!"

Just then, someone called from outside the door:

"Is Jiang the Fool home?"

"Oh no, they've come looking for me! It's Sun Erbiao."

Jiang Changshun immediately looked at his wife, Chunyan:

"Quick, give me the bracelet, I'll use it to pay off the debt, or they'll beat me to death!"

Lu Yao slapped him in anger:

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Changshun was so frightened that he scrambled out of the room.

"Brother Erbiao, you're here?"

"Give me back the ten dollars you took from me right now, hurry up, don't make me waste my time!"

Lu Yao recognized the voice and came out to find that it was Sun Erbiao, who was with Zhao Balai.

It turned out that Jiang Changshun went to work as a temporary worker at the train station in the city with his fellow villagers.

Freight transport is very busy during the Chinese New Year, so every year we hire temporary workers to do the work.

It costs one dollar and thirty-eight cents a day.

You generally can't get this job without connections.

Jiang Changshun had only been there for two days when he got to know the stevedores and started gambling secretly.

Sun Erbiao was shipping goods at the freight station on behalf of his company.

They also often secretly played cards here.

Back then, gambling was a serious crime. If caught by the police, you would be beaten and fined, so you had to gamble secretly.

Yesterday, Jiang Changshun lost so much money gambling that he owed Sun Erbiao ten yuan.

His fellow villager vouched for him, which allowed him to go home, saying he would come to his house this morning to collect the money.

Jiang Changshun knew that Sun Erbiao was a notorious thug in the city, so he naturally dared not lie to him.

When I get back, I'll go find the jade bracelet that Chunyan brought with her as part of her dowry and sell it.

As it turned out, Chunyan had already hidden the bracelet.

This guy was afraid of being beaten by Sun Erbiao, so he forced Chunyan to take it out at home.

At this moment, Sun Erbiao arrived.

He quickly went over to plead his case, hoping to get a few more days' grace.

Sun Erbiao was furious when he heard this:

"You motherfucker, you don't know who I am, do you? Do you know how many people I've killed? You think you can fool me out of my money?"

Sun Erbiao was a fierce general under Zhao Balai.

He once captured a leader of the opposing faction in a brawl and used a sharp knife to gouge out his kneecap.

He is a notoriously ruthless person.

She also has a very explosive temper.

This is when things are about to erupt.

Jiang Changshun also knew his character.

Terrified, he trembled and kept begging for leniency.

Just then, Lu Yao came out:

"Brother Erbiao, what's up?"

Sun Erbiao never expected to run into Lu Yao here.

His anger instantly turned into a smile:

"Oh my god, isn't this Brother Lu?"

When Lu Yao first met Zhao Balai, he thought this young man was quite tough.

He's a real man.

But as I got to know Lu Yao better, I realized he was extraordinary.

Especially after hearing about him leading a team to fight a wolf pack, I admire him even more for being a real man.

When he came out carrying a Mauser pistol, he looked incredibly imposing.

Come over quickly, grab my hand, and let's chat.

Knowing that Lu Yao was already the deputy company commander of the militia, they admired him even more.

"Sure, bro, if I ever need anything in Shuiling Town, you can always come to me."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "I plan to develop my career in Jiangzhou in the future, and then we'll make a fortune together!"

"Haha, okay, let's do it together!"

The two chatted for a while before Sun Erbiao remembered to ask Lu Yao why he was there.

Jiang Changshun, who was standing to the side with his back bent, quickly said:

"Tuwazi is my younger brother. My own younger brother!"

I never expected that Lu Yao and Sun Erbiao, that big hooligan, would be so familiar with each other. I quickly tried to establish a connection.

Lu Yao nodded: "He's my cousin. I'll pay you back whatever he owes you."

Sun Erbiao quickly waved his hand: "It's not about money, it's not even money I actually had, it's just money I won. If it were our relative, I wouldn't want it!"

He patted Jiang Changshun on the shoulder:

"You should have said you were Brother Lu's older brother earlier, then I could have taken care of you!"

Then he added, "Those guys at the freight station who play cards are all up to no good. Don't play anymore. You can lose ten dollars playing for five cents. People call you 'Jiang the Fool' behind your back, don't you know that?"

Jiang Changshun nodded repeatedly.

He didn't believe what others said, but in his mind, Er Biao was an extraordinary person.

The stevedores at the freight station all treated him like royalty.

After Sun Erbiao left, Lu Yao called Chunyan's sister-in-law over.

There's something I haven't told her yet.

Jiang Changshun, appearing very sensible, pulled the child close.

"Laifu, come here. Don't delay your mom and uncle's business. Come with me to grandpa's house!"

Then he said to Chunyan, "Come inside with your brother and serve him well!"

Lu Yao felt a surge of hatred looking at him.

How could a man live such a despicable life? It's so vile!
