"I'm out, ha ha, pay up, pay up, hurry and pay."
A bald man, with a cigarette in his mouth, laughed heartily while waving his hand at the others at the card table.
"Damn it, Brother Hu, your luck is too good, you've won seven hands in a row."
"Exactly, Brother Hu, if you keep winning like this, we'll have to starve this month."
"Take it, take it, my luck is terrible today."
The other three at the card table, with faces full of reluctance, still took out money and handed it to the bald man.
The bald man picked up a stack of money, spat on his hand, and started counting it one by one.
After counting, he put it into the drawer in front of him.
"Da Bao, I heard you got screwed over a few days ago?"
While arranging his cards, Brother Hu looked at Du Da Bao on his left.
When asked by Brother Hu, Du Da Bao scratched his head awkwardly, "I was careless. A guy who just got out of prison sneak-attacked me when I wasn't paying attention. Damn it, I'll take care of him in a couple of days."
He was talking tough, but when he thought of Du Fei's murderous eyes that day, Du Da Bao couldn't help but tremble.
"What the hell, Da Bao, can you handle it? Do you want us to help you out?"
"Yeah, why wait a couple of days? We'll take care of him for you right now, but you'll have to treat us to a 'dragon dive' tonight."
The other two had lost too much, so they took this opportunity to quickly end the card game.
"Da Bao, since you call me Brother Hu and have always been generous, I'll make sure you save face today."
"Ah Biao, go call two brothers, and bring your weapons. I want to see today, how capable a young guy who just got out of prison can be!"
Brother Hu had won enough and didn't want to lose his card partners in the future.
With his words, the guy who had spoken earlier immediately responded, took out his phone, and called for backup.
However, Du Da Bao's expression was very grim. He was truly intimidated by Du Fei's terrifying skills last time.
But in front of Brother Hu and the others, he absolutely dared not refuse to go, because he knew Brother Hu's character well – he was truly unpredictable, bold, and ruthless.
If he dared to refuse at this juncture, he would surely have his legs broken in front of everyone.
With things having come to this, Du Da Bao could only take it one step at a time.
...
"Son, what is this dark bowl of stuff you've cooked?"
Wu Chunmei looked at the bowl Du Fei brought over, and asked with confusion.
Du Fei smiled, "Mom, I met a TCM master in prison. He taught me a lot about Chinese medicine. This bowl of medicinal soup nourishes qi and blood and refreshes the spirit. Drink a bowl every day, it's very good for your health."
"Okay, okay, it's rare for you to have such filial piety. Mom will drink it now."
"Mom, be careful, it's hot."
Wu Chunmei picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Just as Du Fei took the bowl, Du Yunyun walked in from outside.
"Brother, where is that fragrance coming from?"
The little girl sniffed the air.
Wu Chunmei pinched her daughter's nose, "Your nose is really sharp, girl. Your brother cooked me a medicinal soup. It's good for my health."
Hearing this, Du Yunyun also immediately clamored that she wanted to drink it.
"Okay, okay, okay. Brother will make you a medicinal soup that makes you smarter and more beautiful next time, alright?"
Upon hearing Du Fei say this, Du Yunyun was finally willing to back down.
Du Fei asked Du Yunyun to sit down first.
"Mom, little sister, there's a hundred thousand yuan in this card. It's enough for the debt and tuition."
Du Fei took out the bank card Hu Weiguo gave him and placed it in front of the two women.
Du Fei had originally planned to cure Old Man Liu Shishi's grandfather for a consultation fee, but unexpectedly, Liu Shishi's second uncle, who appeared out of nowhere, ruined it.
Little did he know, when Du Fei went to Renxin Tang to buy medicinal herbs, he accidentally solved the money issue.
Regardless, he hadn't broken his promise to his mother and sister.
"Brother! You're too amazing! You earned a hundred thousand yuan in such a short time?"
Du Yunyun looked surprised, but now that they had money, she could finally go to school, and the little girl was very happy.
Wu Chunmei thought a bit more than her daughter, but trusting Du Fei, she didn't ask where the money came from.
"But Brother, our family owes a hundred thousand yuan in debt. Why don't we pay it back first? I can go to school later."
Although she was eager to return to school, Du Yunyun was a sensible child who knew the importance of priorities.
Du Fei was very happy that his sister was considerate of the family in everything. He patted Du Yunyun's head, "I've inquired, and our family doesn't owe anywhere near a hundred thousand. It's all from compound interest that the money accumulated so much. Now that Brother is back, you don't need to worry about this matter. I'll take care of it. You just go back to school with peace of mind, and studying hard is your main task."
Du Yunyun nodded vigorously.
Wu Chunmei looked at Du Fei with joy. Her son had truly grown up. From now on, with him as the backbone of the family, she could finally relax.
Suddenly, the sound of a car engine roared from outside, and it seemed like a car had stopped at their door.
Du Fei heard the sound and asked his mother and sister to sit inside while he went out.
In front of the old house, an SUV and a van were parked, completely blocking the courtyard gate.
As Du Fei walked out, he saw a group of people getting out of the cars.
"Du Da Bao, looks like I went too easy on you last time, didn't I?"
Du Fei immediately spotted Du Da Bao standing at the very back.
After being taught a lesson by him, this guy not only didn't learn his lesson but also brought a group of people to block his home. This time, he had to make sure he left an unforgettable lesson.
"Actually, I..."
When Du Da Bao saw Du Fei, his legs went weak with fear. He instinctively wanted to explain, but the people who came with him thought Du Fei was provoking them.
"Damn it! Are you acting tough? Think you're great just because you've been to jail? Back in the day, when I was in jail, you were still a kid who hadn't even grown any hair!"
One of the guys, holding a steel pipe, pointed at Du Fei.
He had lost thousands tonight and was in a bad mood, looking for someone to vent on. Du Fei just happened to run into the muzzle of his gun.
"Get lost! If you leave now, there's still time. Otherwise, begging on your knees later will be useless!"
Du Fei looked at these people and said coldly.
Brother Hu patted the guy holding the steel pipe and walked to the front of the crowd.
"Kid, I, Zhao Hu, am in a good mood today and don't want to see blood," Brother Hu pulled Du Da Bao over. "As long as you crawl between Da Bao's legs and kowtow to each of us, I'll spare your dog life!"
Zhao Hu was a truly ruthless man. It was said that he once fought five people alone with a watermelon knife.
In the end, Zhao Hu was stabbed over thirty times all over his body, almost becoming a blood bag. But with sheer ferocity, he managed to defeat all five men.
Since then, Zhao Hu had successfully made a name for himself. Now, he had fifty to sixty subordinates and was somewhat renowned in the underworld.
