Reborn in the red age

Li Laosan was so distressed that he almost vomited blood when he saw the slot machine he had purchased with great effort being smashed to pieces.

His wife shouted at the top of her lungs, asking people to help stop Lin Hong from continuing to smash things.

Everyone had seen Li Laosan's cheating just now, so naturally no one was willing to help at this moment. The people around were just watching the scene in front of them with interest, and cheers could be heard from the crowd from time to time.

After Lin Hong smashed the last machine, he threw the bench away. His face was not red, he was not out of breath, and he didn't even sweat much.

Li Qingfeng, who was watching from the side, secretly sighed in his heart, on average, each machine hits three times with full force, which means thirty times of full force. He is worthy of being a sand casting worker in the steel rolling mill, he is really strong.

If it were him, he would probably be gasping for breath by now. Li Qingfeng had already secretly begun to wonder whether he should take some time out to exercise.

Lin Hong rubbed his hands and looked at Li Laosan with a bad look: "Li Laosan, I'll smash ten of your machines, each for five thousand, and you still owe me forty thousand. Pay me quickly, or I'll tear down your house."

When Li Laosan heard what Lin Hong said, he was so angry that he shook all over and cursed at Lin Hong.

"Do you know how much my machine costs? One machine costs more than 9,000 yuan, and you cost me 100,000 yuan. Just wait, I will call the police now, and you should get ready to go to jail."

Facing Li Laosan's threat, Lin Hong was not intimidated at all. He waved his hand in disgust and said, "Go quickly, go now. I also want the police to come and judge the case. Let's see what the police say."

"Hello, I'm calling 110 now, just wait and don't run away"

As he said this, the furious Li Laosan was about to take out his mobile phone to call the police station.

"Third brother, forget it, don't fight, don't fight"

Li Laosan's wife was still rational. She knew that she was not in the right, so she quickly grabbed his hand and stopped him from calling the police. She whispered in his ear: "Don't fight. Once the police come, we will be left with nothing."

Although slot machines are not considered gambling these days and are classified as game machines, the amount of money involved today is so large that if the police really come, given the poverty-stricken nature of the grassroots, they will definitely be punished. At the very least, all the gambling money will be confiscated.

After being stopped by his wife, Li Laosan regained his senses and looked at Lin Hong with red eyes: "Lin Hong, you've smashed it, the machine is worth 100,000 yuan, and the 90,000 yuan I owe you is written off, get out of here!"

"You said it's worth 100,000, so it's worth 100,000. I only recognize 50,000. The remaining 40,000 must be paid." Lin Hong pinched his nose, looking as if he didn't care about Li Laosan.

"Lin Hong, don't go too far. Believe it or not, I will make sure you don't survive in Gusu."

"I want to see how you make it difficult for me to get by." Lin Hong pulled his hand out of his nostrils and flicked it casually, his eyes full of provocation.

Without waiting for Li Laosan to speak, Lin Hong waved his hand and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone has seen that Li Laosan is dishonest. I will divide the remaining 40,000 yuan equally among you. Anyone who sees it today can take a share. Take whatever you want from here. Consider it as a payment from Li Laosan to me."

The crowd that stayed here to watch the fun was reluctant to go home at noon and became excited instantly. Everyone was whispering to each other with excitement flashing in their eyes, and some people were already getting ready to make a move.

Seeing the greed in everyone's eyes, Li Laosan's face turned red and he shouted angrily: "Lin Hong, you are robbing! Why do you touch my things!"

Lin Hong had no intention of paying any attention to him. He winked at the two friends he brought with him, and the two of them immediately understood.

After shouting, "Whoever grabs it first keeps it," he rushed to the deposit counter first.

With the leadership of these two people, the greed in the hearts of the onlookers was instantly ignited. Most of the people who could come here were not honest children. Seeing someone taking the lead, the others rushed to the counter and the game machines outside, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Qingfeng was stunned. This was not in the plan. Why did Lin Hong modify the plan without authorization?
Li Laosan's wife wanted to go up to stop them, but was pushed to the ground. It was unknown which hooligan took advantage of the chaos to do all kinds of things to her, pinching and squeezing her, causing Li Laosan's wife to scream in fear.

Li Laosan, who was standing by, got red-eyed when he saw this scene. He ignored the others who were frantically grabbing things and rushed towards the guys around his wife. He didn't care who did it and started hitting them on the head. The two sides immediately got into a fight.

It had already happened, and Li Qingfeng and Hu Jiadong were powerless to stop it. They could only stand aside and watch the scene in front of them coldly, making a comment or two from time to time.

"Li Laosan can't afford to lose. If he had kept his word from the beginning and paid the money with gritted teeth, he would have had a chance to make a comeback."

Li Qingfeng shook his head. When he won a few hundred dollars from him for the first time, he acted as if he wanted his life. How could he possibly give it to him, let alone a hundred thousand? This was the inevitable result.

Hu Jiadong sighed: "Winning 100,000 yuan a day from here, what a gimmick, isn't this a living advertisement? If more people are attracted later, they can earn back ten times the 100,000 yuan according to the odds he set."

"It's useless. Where does he get the money to pay? Haven't you calculated the funds he has? Tens of thousands, not thousands. Where did he get so much money at once? Have you forgotten our plan? The slot machine is bound to be smashed."

As the two were talking, the chaos here subsided a little. The game room was empty and most of the things had been looted.

None of the game consoles outside were spared; they were all unplugged and carried out; even the tables, chairs and benches were snatched away.

After the last person walked away carrying the quilt he had snatched from the house, the only people left in the game room were Li Laosan and his wife, who were cursing loudly, and Li Qingfeng.

Looking at the two people sitting on the ground, one cursing and the other crying and wiping tears, they looked at each other and quickly left.

After all, you've seen the excitement. Why don't you leave now and wait for someone to treat you to a meal?
The two men came to the car and just as they opened the door, Lin Hong jumped out from the side.

"Brother Hu, Brother Li, is it okay to do this today?"

Looking at Lin Hong who looked guilty, Li Qingfeng raised his eyebrows: "Are you scared now? When you asked someone to rob him just now, you were so generous."

"I was so excited at that time." Lin Hong scratched his head: "Now that I have calmed down, I am afraid that something will really happen and I will be implicated."

Li Qingfeng shook his head: "If it was just smashing the slot machine, it wouldn't be a big deal. Li Laosan couldn't get into trouble because of this. But you let people rob things in the game room, this is a bit too much."

"Ah!" Lin Hong exclaimed, and immediately felt a sense of fear, and asked quickly: "What should we do then?"

"Don't worry, they even dared to rob a police car, let alone a small game room. What's more, you have a reason for doing this, the police station will not intervene."

"." After Lin Hong's repeated questioning, he got the conclusion that everything was fine. Then Lin Hong handed over the cheating device, put the 15,000 yuan he won today in his arms, and rushed home anxiously.

The fact was just as Li Qingfeng said, what happened at noon was nothing in the eyes of the police station.

According to the information we got from Hu Jiadong, Li Laosan didn't even go to report the case at noon. It was only after the police station received the news that they found out that the game room in his jurisdiction had been robbed.

After rushing over to inquire and learning the whole story, the two police officers scolded Li Laosan, then rode their motorcycles back to the station cursing, without even filing a case.

It was already the middle of 94, and public security was in a mess. There were countless car bandits and road bullies outside the city, and bloody incidents would occur from time to time. For example, the police station did not care about the conflicts caused by Li Laosan's incident.

Li Qingfeng also had some instructions for Lin Hong, asking him to take the more than 20,000 yuan he won and take his children to another place for medical treatment, and to stay out of the spotlight to avoid revenge from Li Laosan, who had suffered a great loss.

But Lin Hong didn't care about it, thinking that Li Laosan wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

Li Qingfeng did not try to persuade him and let him decide for himself.

After all, both parties got what they wanted. Li Qingfeng wanted to deal with the slot machine operator with the same name as himself, and Lin Hong wanted to make some quick money. When he let Lin Hong in, he had already told him the risks of doing this.

Now that the deal was over, Lin Hong received nearly five years' salary in three days. Since he did not listen to Qingfeng Li's advice and hide outside, he should bear all the consequences himself.

After having dinner at a restaurant with my brother-in-law, we went home together.

The car had just stopped downstairs. Looking at the row of bicycles and motorcycles parked downstairs, Hu Jiadong was stunned and quickly pulled Li Qingfeng to his side: "Brother-in-law, there should be relatives coming to our house. It looks like there are quite a few people."

"Yes, that's true. Jiabao told me last night that some relatives are coming to our house today." Li Qingfeng glanced at the vehicles downstairs and nodded, clearing up the confusion for his brother-in-law.

Hu Jiadong hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, brother-in-law, you haven't been home for the past two years, and your relatives are very curious about you. If there is anything I say that is wrong, please bear with me. If I ask you to do something..."

Knowing what Hu Jiadong was worried about, Li Qingfeng waved his hand to interrupt Hu Jiabao before he could finish speaking.

"Don't worry, I'm good at dealing with relatives, I won't take it to heart"

As he spoke, Qingfeng Li took the lead and walked upstairs, heading towards home with full confidence.

As soon as I walked in, I saw that there were really a lot of people. The whole room was full, and my father-in-law and his wife were talking with relatives.

As soon as Hu Yuanshan saw Li Qingfeng coming in, he quickly stood up and greeted Li Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, why did you come back just now? Come in, come in, the relatives are here."

"Oh, this must be my nephew's husband. I haven't seen him for many years. If I hadn't seen him on TV so often, I wouldn't have recognized him if we saw him on the street."

"Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years. We should have a good drink tonight. I didn't drink enough last time in Nantong."

"."

As soon as Li Qingfeng came in, he was confused by the various greetings and questions. For a moment, he didn't know which question to answer first.

Standing there in a daze wasn't the point. The key point was that Qingfeng Li couldn't remember the names of any of the people who greeted him enthusiastically.

Hu Yuanshan noticed Li Qingfeng's embarrassment and quickly took Li Qingfeng aside to introduce him to all the relatives in the room one by one.

After more than ten years of marriage, and with my child almost entering middle school, I can still experience the feeling of having a new son-in-law.

As the introductions ended, the atmosphere in the room became more lively due to Qingfeng Li's arrival.

After knowing how to address everyone, Qingfeng Li finally relaxed a little and began to talk with his relatives with ease.

The relatives' questions were all kinds of things, but they mainly revolved around topics like whether the satellite launch was real, how much money Li Qingfeng could make a year, how much money he had now, whether he was the richest man in the world, and whether he had bought his own private jet like the big foreign capitalists on TV.

These questions were neither worth answering nor not answering, which gave Li Qingfeng a headache. He finally managed to fool around with a smile.

Here, another cousin-in-law brought her child to ask Li Qingfeng to help her find a job: "Brother-in-law, you are the boss of a big company, and your nephew is already grown up. There has been no good job in our small place. Can you see if you can get your nephew to work in your company?"

It's not impossible to find a job. If there's no good job, running errands is also possible. Li Qingfeng took a look at this adopted nephew, and he looked very gentle.

Just a simple chat and a few questions, forget it. He wanted to be a manager and manage people. When asked about his educational background, he only graduated from elementary school, and his work experience was cutting vegetables in the factory kitchen for two years. Isn't this nonsense?

Li Qingfeng smiled awkwardly and did not directly answer the question of whether the child could do it or not. Instead, he took out his wallet from his pocket and handed out money to the children in the room one by one, giving each of them a red envelope of 100 yuan.

After giving money to the children one by one, the cousin's wife still kept asking questions. In the end, it was Hu Jiadong who helped Li Qingfeng out of the dilemma. He took the job on himself and said he would take the child to work in his own store in Shanghai. Only then did the situation end.

Fortunately, the only relative of the Hu family who was not very serious was this cousin's wife. The others were all fine and did not ask for help in arranging jobs. They came to the Hu family just because they were curious about the satellite launch, and came to ask Li Qingfeng about it and have a meal.

It lasted until the afternoon. The older ones who lived nearby had already gone home, leaving only a few cousins ​​and other relatives at home. They set up a card table and played cards while listening to Qingfeng Li bragging.

In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, everyone said goodbye. How could Li Qingfeng let them go like that? Otherwise, who knows how people would accuse him of being stingy when they got back.

He immediately stopped them and booked a table at the best restaurant in Gusu, where they could eat as much fish and meat as they wanted, and drink and smoke as much Maotai and Huazi as they wanted.

He did not let them go back at night. No matter whether they were relatives from Gusu or Nantong, Li Qingfeng booked rooms for them in the best hotel in Gusu that night and made all the arrangements very well.

I talked to the hotel again and booked a taxi for tomorrow morning. Whenever they woke up and wanted to leave, they would be taken back by taxi.

After this combination of punches, won’t he be telling everyone he meets about Qingfeng Li’s goodness when he returns? (End of this chapter)
