“Ah? Benefactor, what is it you want to discuss with us?”
Old Man Sun was taken aback, slowly getting to his feet and looking at Er Zhu in confusion.
Their Pear Blossom Village was a famously poor village in the city. He used to beg others for help, but no one had ever come to discuss matters with them.
“I see you have so much land here. How about our two families cooperate and grow medicinal herbs?”
Er Zhu swept his gaze across the vast, boundless farmland and voiced his idea.
“Hmph, which ignorant fool dares to try and snatch land from me, Liu Jinqiang, now!”
Before Old Man Sun could even react, an arrogant voice echoed from not far away. Er Zhu turned his head and saw a portly, bald man leading a few burly men, swaggering towards him.
“Benefactor, please don’t speak. This Liu Jin is the biggest medicinal herb merchant in Guangyuan County, and his family is also a martial arts family!”
Upon seeing Liu Jinqiang, Old Man Sun looked as if he had seen a ghost. He quickly scurried over to Er Zhu’s side and whispered a reminder.
“Yes, Benefactor, Liu Jinqiang already gave me a deposit last month. I’m afraid I can’t cooperate with you.”
“Liu Jinqiang also gave me a deposit, so I can’t cooperate with you either.”
“And me, he gave me a deposit too…”
…
In the blink of an eye, almost half the villagers had received a deposit from Liu Jinqiang. Seeing this, Old Man Sun’s face turned green, but he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Last month, nothing like this had happened in their village. Who could have guessed that the Benefactor would want to cooperate with them?
“Kid, get lost. My brothers here are not to be trifled with. Don’t blame me if you end up missing an arm or a leg!”
Just then, Liu Jinqiang reached out to push Er Zhu, but he missed.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Liu Jinqiang’s eyes, but it vanished instantly. He merely assumed he had underestimated his opponent and didn’t pay it much mind.
“How much deposit did he give you?”
Er Zhu ignored Liu Jinqiang and turned to the villagers who had accepted the deposit.
The villagers looked at each other and discussed for a long time before someone finally said, “Five hundred thousand!”
This sum was an astronomical figure for rural people. So, when the villager spoke, he was a little scared, as if afraid Er Zhu would get angry and make them return the money.
If it were anyone else asking them to return the money, they would naturally refuse. But Er Zhu was their benefactor. Old Man Sun would definitely order them to return it. Thinking of the opportunity slipping through their fingers, some villagers were reluctant, but considering Er Zhu’s kindness, they could only endure it.
They thought this money was a considerable sum, unaware that to Er Zhu, it was a mere trifle!
“That’s right, I gave them five hundred thousand. But if you want to return the deposit, it won’t be that amount. I want one million!”
Seeing that Er Zhu intended to have these villagers return the deposit, Liu Jinqiang’s eyes darted, and he extended a finger.
From Er Zhu’s attire, he could tell that this kid had a little money. But if he were to demand a million yuan at once, he thought Er Zhu wouldn’t be able to produce it!
A bumpkin actually dared to compete with him for land. He should take a good look at himself in the mirror before acting!
Liu Jinqiang glanced at Er Zhu dismissively. A sly smile crept onto his lips, and he grinned at his brothers behind him, looking like victory was within his grasp.
“Kid, pay up. If you don’t have the money, get lost!”
“Yeah, you want to compete with our young master for business? Do you even have the capital for that?”
“Young Master, you don’t need to waste words with this pauper. Leave him to us!”
…
Liu Jinqiang’s brothers behind him taunted. Suddenly, someone raised his fist and charged forward. Instantly, all those men rushed towards Er Zhu. Their speed was astonishing, and their fists were bigger than sandbags!
“Benefactor, be careful!”
Just as the fist was about to hit Er Zhu, Old Man Sun shouted with concern.
This was it. The Benefactor was just a village doctor; how could he possibly fight against these trained fighters!
Bang!
As Old Man Sun worried about Er Zhu, he saw Er Zhu launch a flying kick. The man’s wrist instantly drooped, and with a shout, he fell to the ground!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
With three more thunderous sounds, by the time everyone reacted, the other strong men had all fallen to the ground!
They clutched their stomachs, moaning in pain, their faces contorted in agony!
“Damn it, is this guy trying to rebel!”
Seeing this, Liu Jinqiang became even more enraged. Before he could even finish speaking, he had already lunged at Er Zhu!
Even if he was a martial artist, so what? Fighting against someone from the Liu family, he could only expect to be beaten…
“Ouch, my hand!”
Before he could finish the last word, Liu Jinqiang felt a sharp pain. Er Zhu grabbed his fist and with a slight pull, his hand was broken!
Overwhelming pain surged through him instantly, and Liu Jinqiang knelt on the ground, his face pale, fine beads of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead!
This kid was too strong, even stronger than the strongest person in his Liu family!
Liu Jinqiang gritted his teeth and looked at Er Zhu, a mixture of shock and fear flashing in his eyes!
“Take the money and get lost. If I see you again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Er Zhu didn’t even look at Liu Jinqiang. He casually pulled a bank card from his pocket and, as soon as he finished speaking, kicked Liu Jinqiang flying!
The strong men lying on the ground quickly got up and fled forward at top speed, none of them bothering about Liu Jinqiang.
They couldn’t help it; Er Zhu was too formidable!
Others might not have felt it, but they knew clearly that in those few moves just now, this kid hadn’t even used half his strength, yet they had gone all out!
Such a vast disparity sent a shiver down their spines. They exchanged glances, seeing the fear in each other’s eyes!
At this moment, only Liu Jinqiang was left at the scene. He had intended to fight back, but let alone fight back, even breathing was painful now!
“What are you doing here?”
Just as Liu Jinqiang was about to flee, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. When Liu Jinqiang saw the beautiful woman behind him, he instantly smiled.
“Cousin, hurry and save me! This brat dares to steal business from our Liu family. You absolutely must not let him get away with this!”
Liu Jinqiang shouted as he crawled towards the woman. Although his actions were pathetic, his eyes were filled with rage!
“Ah? Cousin, how did you become like this?”
Seeing her cousin crawling on the ground like a dog, the woman hurried over, helped Liu Jinqiang up, and walked towards Er Zhu.
Er Zhu looked at the beautiful woman approaching him and couldn’t help but curl his lips.
The world was truly small. He ran into acquaintances everywhere!
Because the person who arrived was none other than Liu Yan, and the fool he had beaten was Liu Yan’s cousin!
“Kid, you’re dead this time! My cousin is the biggest fruit vendor in Willow Town, and her relationship with the richest man in Willow Town is extraordinary!”
Liu Jinqiang, not noticing Liu Yan’s angry gaze, yelled at Er Zhu triumphantly.
