The Great Era of Siheyuan

Li Wenqiang walked to the next room and pushed it open. Liu Ergou was still lying on the bed, sleeping with his shirt off. He woke up suddenly after hearing the noise, and when he saw Li Wenqiang clearly, he looked at him with panic on his face.

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Ergou encouraged himself and said.

"Nothing, I just wanted to have a good chat with you! Why, you don't welcome your brother-in-law?"

Li Wenqiang looked at him with amusement, and his eyes became unfriendly. A cheap and bastard brother-in-law wanted to give him a bad face.

"I don't want to talk to you, get out!"

Liu Ergou said angrily, "Chat? What the hell! I was beaten three times in a row by him the day before yesterday, and I'm still hurting!"

"You don't want to drink my toast, so you have to drink my punishment. Do you really think that I won't punish you if I marry your sister? I think you are asking for trouble!"

Li Wenqiang's face turned cold, and he was ready to beat him after he finished speaking.

Everyone has a different way of dealing with others. When dealing with good people, you can reason with them, use morality to control them, or use sympathy to influence them. But when dealing with evil people, you can only fight violence with violence. Only when you beat them hard and make them subdue, will they know they are wrong.

"No, let me talk. Can't I talk? What do you want to talk about?"

Seeing that Li Wenqiang was serious, Liu Ergou gave in instantly. His old injuries had not healed yet, and if he got new ones, he wouldn't have to go out for the next few days.

"I found a job for you, do you want to do it?"

Li Wenqiang said casually.

"Really?"

Liu Ergou's eyes lit up instantly.

If he had a job at his age, it would definitely be something to brag about.

Although he was a slacker, he was not stupid. His father sent money to his family every month, which did not mean that he did not want a job.

Even if he spends money lavishly, he knows that others still look down on him and think he is just a gangster. The self-esteem of a young man is so high that the more he is looked down upon, the more he wants to prove himself, and in the end he becomes a nobody.

"Of course, resource recycling manager, how about this job, is it okay?"

Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

"What kind of job is this? It sounds awesome!"

Liu Ergou was completely confused when he heard such a long name and was unable to react for a moment.

"Of course! To put it simply, it's waste recycling. From now on, all the waste in Nanluoguxiang belongs to you alone! If anyone dares to come into your territory, you will beat him to death! How about it, is it awesome?"

Li Wenqiang said casually.

"What? Collecting junk? I won't do this job. Even if you don't find it embarrassing, I do! If others see this, how can I, Brother Long, continue to work here? I won't do it!"

When Liu Ergou heard that it was a job to collect junk, he immediately refused. What was the difference between a junk collector and a manure collector? How could he survive in this area if his brothers found out?

"Do you think I'm here to negotiate with you? And you still want to refuse! I'll come to you the day after tomorrow. If you don't do it, I'll beat you up until you agree. If you don't believe me, just wait."

Li Wenqiang grabbed his collar and looked at him with a smile.

This guy really has no sense of vision and is short-sighted. He only sees that collecting waste is not good, but never thinks about how much money he can make from it. There are a total of seven or eight waste collectors in the waste station, and it can be said that each of them is rich. Everyone has his own way of making money, and he is the one who earns the least.

"Fuck, I can't do it!"

When Liu Ergou saw Li Wenqiang like this, he knew that he couldn't refuse. He would definitely be beaten if he didn't agree. He could only grit his teeth and agree. As for whether they would work or not, would it be his business at that time?

Li Wenqiang knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression and had already seen through his heart.

"Do you really think this is a bad job? What if I tell you that you can earn at least 40 to 50 yuan a month, or even several hundred yuan?"

Li Wenqiang let go of him and said lightly.

"Really?"

When Liu Ergou heard that he could make so much money, his eyes widened instantly. Although he liked to spend money recklessly, it didn't mean that he didn't know how rare it was to have so much money.

"Of course. I'm your brother-in-law, how can I lie to you? This job, no matter how badly you do it, you'll get a guaranteed income of thirty yuan a month. If you're smart, doubling it won't be a problem!"

Li Wenqiang patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, I did it!"

Liu Ergou gritted his teeth and said reluctantly.

"Don't be ungrateful. This is a good job. If you weren't my brother-in-law, you wouldn't even be able to get your turn in the queue. It's like you've been wronged. You don't have to punch in for this job. You can sleep until you wake up naturally every day. You can go to work whenever you want. You can visit two alleys a day and walk through Nanluoguxiang once a week. Isn't this good enough?"

Li Wenqiang slapped him in annoyance. If he didn't want to give the job to outsiders, he could find anyone in the courtyard and treat him as his own father. Not to mention, there are several recyclers in the scrap yard, who doesn't want to bring his son in to do this job? It's just that he can't do it even if he wants to because of the regulations.

"Okay, I like this kind of free and easy thing, I agree!"

Liu Ergou smiled when he heard that he had so much freedom. He could run through the two alleys in less than half a day in the morning, and it would not prevent him from going out to play in the afternoon, killing two birds with one stone.

"The day after tomorrow I'll take you there and teach you what to do. You can also meet some people. Be polite to them. Don't hang out on the streets anymore. Do you understand?"

Li Wenqiang said seriously.

"understand!"

Liu Ergou is now immersed in the fantasy of going to work, and he just nods whatever is said.

"I hope you'll do what you say. Many people living around here are either officials or their relatives. Don't make trouble for me. I don't want to see you in jail next time. If you don't listen, there's nothing I can do. Anyway, I won't be the one who suffers in the end!"

Seeing that he didn't care, Li Wenqiang kindly reminded him for the sake of his wife.

There are many state agencies nearby and a lot of officials live nearby. If you really mess with someone you can't afford to offend, they can be shot with just a word from others, without any procedures.

"I know, I know! Why are you saying so much?"

Liu Ergou still looked indifferent, but Li Wenqiang was too lazy to say anything more. That was all he had to say. In the end, he deserved what happened.

"You've been out there for so long, how many people do you have under you?"

Li Wenqiang asked casually.

"Why are you asking this? Didn't you tell me not to hang out?"

Liu Ergou said vigilantly.

"I want them to do something for me. Help me find a man who likes to eat, drink, gamble, smoke and have a bad temper. He should be older, but not too old. Preferably around fifty years old, and live far away from here. Please ask him if he wants a wife. If he does, I'll send her to him later!"

"What do you want to do?"

Liu Ergou was also confused when he heard such a weird request. Why didn't someone give a wife to someone for free? He felt that he was not bad at all!

When he asked, Li Wenqiang did not hide anything and told him directly about Jia Zhang's affairs.

"Fuck, he dares to bully my sister, wait and see how I deal with him!"

When Liu Ergou heard this, he immediately got angry and wanted to go and cause trouble for others.

"What are you yelling at me for now? Haven't you bullied me enough? I'm leaving this matter to you. Call all your brothers over to me later. If you can handle this matter well, I will definitely benefit from your help. Do you hear me?"

Li Wenqiang stopped him casually and looked at him with contempt.

"Okay, leave this to me, I will definitely do it for you!"

Liu Ergou assured very confidently.
