243: Chapter 239 Winery?
Despite being angry at heart, girls are usually softer-hearted after all.
Upon seeing those two on the ground, lying there like dead dogs, with so fresh bloodstains beside them, Ye Qingqing quickly tugged on Chen Hai’s sleeve.
“Okay, I’m satisfied now, let Brother Qiang and Brother Zhong stop right away!”
“If they continue to beat them so ruthlessly, they might kill soone, and that would be trouble for both of them.”
Ye Qingqing said to Chen Hai with obvious unwillingness.
“Mhm!” Chen Hai nodded his head.
In an era when even specialized phone numbers like Police phone number existed, fights and brawls in places like dance halls were already too common for the clientele.
Fearing that there wouldn’t be enough chaos, there was no shortage of onlookers who relished the spectacle.
The kind who would go out of their way to call the police were rare indeed.
After all, few people knew the police station’s phone number, and payphones nearby were scarce.
Even if soone wanted to call the police, they had to run a mile or two to the nearest police station themselves.
By the ti the cops arrived, at least half an hour would have passed.
“Brother Zhong, Brother Qiang, that’s enough, let’s go!” Approaching Sun Jinzhong and Brother Qiang, Chen Hai instructed.
“Mhm!” Upon recognizing Chen Hai, the two stopped their attack and agreed.
“Make yourself scarce, and don’t let see you two at Happy Dance Hall again, or I’ll beat you down every single ti I see you!”
Brother Qiang spat a viscous wad of saliva onto the heads of the pair sternly.
After issuing a few harsh warnings, he then followed Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong out of the dance hall.
Of course, they weren’t the only ones leaving the dance hall.
Everyone who had been involved in the fight also made their quick exit.
As old hands in this business, getting away quickly after a fight was second nature for them.
Including Chen Hai and Ye Qingqing, the group was imposing, with more than a dozen people.
“Ladies and gentlen, my girlfriend was slightly wronged earlier, and I thank you all for stepping in.”
“I am one to return favors and avenge wrongs.
You’ve all helped out, so naturally, I won’t leave you shortchanged.”
“Tonight, I’m treating; let’s eat, drink, and have fun!”
Watching the dozen or so young n around him, Chen Hai took out the one thousand yuan he carried in his pocket.
He didn’t try to hide it from the crowd and handed the money directly to Sun Jinzhong, instructing, “Brother Zhong, take these one thousand yuan.”
“Good cigarettes, good booze, good food, and good drinks—take good care of all the brothers here.”
“Let’s all bear witness; if you don’t spend all this money tonight, nobody goes ho.”
…
His words made everyone’s hearts bloom with joy.
A thousand yuan back in those days was quite a sum.
Sun Jinzhong, Brother Qiang, and their buddies might’ve looked tough, but in reality, they were often strapped for cash and couldn’t even muster a few yuan.
Hearing that they’d have a thousand yuan to indulge in food and entertainnt for the night, several of the lads couldn’t hold back and let out wild howls of elation.
“What about you, cuz?”
“All you guys will be there, so Qingqing and I won’t join you.
Having us around might cramp your style when you’re chatting and boasting!” With a light smile, Chen Hai casually replied.
Sun Jinzhong was his own cousin, and Brother Qiang had done him favors.
For that reason, he was willing to co out and gather with them.
As for the pals of those two, Chen Hai actually didn’t want to associate with them much.
Besides, he wasn’t alone, he had Ye Qingqing by his side, and naturally, he didn’t want to join the hustle and bustle.
“Alright, then I and Brother Qiang will page you tomorrow and contact you!” With a sigh, Sun Jinzhong responded.
He actually understood that his cousin was fundantally on a different plane from their group.
When Chen Hai ca back to Liuyuan County, he went to the dance hall to look for him, which was just to extend a helping hand based on past affection.
Chen Hai didn’t want to go eat, drink, and be rry with them, so Sun Jinzhong naturally wouldn’t insist.
“Brother Qiang, Monkey, Cripple, let’s go, we’re off to the night market at the shopping mall, tonight, we won’t return until we’re drunk…”
Waving to all his friends, Sun Jinzhong, and Brother Qiang at the forefront, the group marched towards the back door of the fruit market in high spirits.
As for Chen Hai, he walked toward the direction of Wenchang Pavilion, where his new ho was located, with Ye Qingqing.
…
The next few days were calm.
Sun Jinzhong and Brother Qiang started bustling about the county, beginning to inquire about the general state of various enterprises within the town.
Though both were people from the suburban areas of the county, they hung out in the county all the ti and were definitely considered local snakes.
The economy in Liuyuan County was pretty bleak at the mont.
Other than one textile factory, if the other factories weren’t completely shut down, they were practically on their last legs.
To find out about the situations inside these factories wasn’t a difficult task for them at all!
In the county, which was only so big, with their wide social circle, it was easy to connect with so insiders’ children from these factories.
According to what they found out, what interested them the most was still the county liquor factory.
Seven or eight years ago, the liquor factory had already ceased operations, becoming a huge burden on the county.
So of the equipnt in the factory was supposed to be preserved, but in reality, anything that could be sold had almost all been sold by so insiders.
As for the factory buildings, the surrounding thatch had grown several feet high.
However, Liuyuan County had its monts of glory over a decade ago.
Back then, the Peach Blossom Brew produced by the Liuyuan liquor factory – Sun Jinzhong and Brother Qiang had gotten their hands on a couple of bottles from so insiders and tried it.
Perhaps because the batch of liquor had been aged for so years, the Peach Blossom Brew tasted truly exceptional.
Anyway, Sun Jinzhong and Brother Qiang felt that this Peach Blossom Brew was even better than the so-called national liquor.
The old masters who used to brew the liquor were mostly still around.
It’s just that, having been laid off, they had changed their trades; so sold dumplings, so sold sesa cakes, so roasted sweet potatoes!
They had almost gathered all the information they needed about the liquor factory.
These past two days, they had been trying to make contact with related people here, but unfortunately, it seed to be quite a challenge for them.
Sun Jinzhong and Brother Qiang were almost leg swollen from running around, but until now, they hadn’t seen anyone actually in charge.
As for Chen Hai, he hadn’t gotten involved in these affairs at all.
On his fourth day back in Liuyuan County, he and Ye Qingqing had already taken Chen Zhonghua and Jiang ixian on a plane to Yang City.
