Chapter 509: Chapter 197: A Few More Assistants_2

Those people were showing their respect to Yan Fei, praising his generosity and moral character, while also expressing their ’encouragement’ for Erwa’s reckless demeanor in fighting and his fearless strikes.

Gangsters in the town also have hierarchies. The ones like Si Family’s Brothers and Zhou Dalian from the past, including Niu Laoer who raised chickens, are experienced gangsters. Because they have some assets, it’s easier for them to attract others. But those without assets are considered low-ranking, they can only depend on these top-level gangsters, following them around, doing various chores and hoping to get some benefits.

As for those like Li Fang and Chang Liang, they can’t really be considered gangsters. Because they’re young, they’re simply loafing around with nothing to do.

So these guys definitely ’supported’ Zhang Erwa hitting Zhou Dalian’s cousin with a brick.

Zhang Erwa couldn’t find words to express his frustration after their barrage of comments, finally venting out, "Who can blame me when it was two against one! He deserved it! I was merciful enough to not break his teeth. After all, I’m not even fourteen, and murdering at my age isn’t punishable..."

Yan Fei asked him with curiosity: "Why are you indulging in these bad practices? And what’s that thing you are hiding in your sleeve? Don’t hide it, let me have a look."

He noticed Zhang Erwa touching his sleeve when he was speaking, which seemed to be stashed with something.

When he finally revealed the item, Brother Heizi curiously asked: "I asked you to come with Brother Fei to buy cattle, what are you doing with this thing?"

Zhang Erwa’s face grew red with embarrassment: "I thought that since I’m not going to school anymore, I should at least make a name for myself. In case we meet someone who doesn’t play fair, I have this weapon to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Fei interrupted and grabbed the object from him. He began fiddling with it in his hands: "A military triangular bayonet? Where’d you get this from? I’m confiscating this. You should go back to school. Who told you that killing isn’t illegal under fourteen? What ridiculous nonsense is this!"

This guy was obviously prepared to join the underworld and make a name for himself, armed and ready to grab the chance of immunity from a minor’s crime to earn his reputation! What kind of thought is this? If Uncle Lin Baoguo learned about this, he would certainly scold whoever is teaching these kids such nonsense...

"It must have been Old Ou, right? He once spent more than three months in jail for a fight! Since he got out, he loves bragging about his broad knowledge and experiences, even saying something about how time in a detention center could be credited towards a jail sentence. See, you’re leading others astray!" Li Fang immediately ’reported’ the culprit to Yan Fei.

Old Ou, whose real name is Ou Dongjian, is two years older than the others. Yan Fei had met him a few times and felt that he was usually quiet. He hadn’t said a word during today’s gathering, but when Li Fang pointed at him, he awkwardly replied: "Didn’t you guys used to love listening to my stories? I haven’t talked about that for a long time! It’s not exactly something to be proud of..."

He then turned to Yan Fei and said: "Brother Fei, since we don’t have much to do, and you’re busy buying cattle, why don’t you let us help at your cow farm? If Brother Heizi can do it, I believe we can manage the work too! We only need to shovel cow dung, isn’t it? Who can’t do that! You can pay us however much you want, we just need meals..."

Before Yan Fei could respond, Brother Heizi curiously asked, "What’s going on? Are you guys planning to turn over a new leaf?"

The one named Li Fang also felt confused, "Old Ou, when did you come up with this idea? Why did you not have a discussion with us before making this decision?"

Old Ou gave him a glare: "Do you think it’s promising to bum around like we do? I’ve come to my senses. What I bragged about before isn’t real life experience. The real life experience is seeing those who seem powerful on the outside end up begging like grandchildren inside, eating radish, cabbage soup, and dark-skinned buns every day, and even having to scramble for food. What’s there to brag about..."

"Didn’t you always brag about it before?" Chang Liang refuted him.

"I was just afraid of losing face, and scared, and feeling inferior, you understand?" Old Ou became excited as he spoke. He was sitting on the running tricycle, he had to raise his voice to speak, and now he just roared out loud.

"It feels empowering when you boast a lot, but when heard Erwa offend Zhou Dalian, you guys cheered enthusiastically. But can you actually fight them? They’re rich and powerful, if we get injured we’d have to ask our parents for medicine money. Isn’t that embarrassing?"

"We used to look down on Brother Heizi for shoveling cow dung, but even he managed to get a girlfriend. Now even Zhang Dawa has gone thousands of miles away to farm. What’s the point of us idling around aimlessly? Do you guys want to end up like me, already in my twenties and can’t even find a girlfriend because no one respects me?"

Li Fang, Chang Liang and Song Tianjie suddenly fell silent...

Zhang Erwa who was at the side also received a tongue-lashing: "And you, you think it’s powerful to gain some fame? The one who came to the ranch last time with a gun, how powerful was he? Wasn’t he carried away like a dead dog, what good could have come to him? Oh, that’s right, Niu Laoer was released during the New Year, go ask him if life in prison is particularly happy, ask him how it tastes to eat a bun that has fallen on the ground and stepped on...".

After his rant, he tremulously fished out a crumpled cigarette, but just couldn’t light it up despite several tries with his lighter. Between the wind and the bumpy ride of the tricycle, he finally gave up, throwing away the cigarette in frustration, and finally cooling down a bit. He turned to Yan Fei and said, "Fly Brother, I’m sorry, I’ve been holding it in for half a year now. I feel suffocated. If I talk about these things to them normally, they probably wouldn’t listen, only today when you are here, can I speak out...".

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Yan Fei smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. Come on, tell me more about Heizi having a girlfriend? I haven’t heard about it yet!".

Heizi suddenly got anxious: "Brother Fei, don’t listen to his nonsense. Can’t you see he’s just blabbering, you can’t take him seriously! I think this guy is also preparing to turn over a new leaf, what do you think about considering him if you’re short of people?"

Yan Fei didn’t bother to respond, this guy definitely had something on his mind - when he was asked to bring these young brothers to work in the farm before, he had said that they were not suitable for it. Now, he is speaking for them.

However, he didn’t want to expose him in front of everyone, so he just smiled and said, "Alright! If you want to come, just come! The sooner the better, learn how to feed the cows while we still have fewer. Do you three want to come too?"

It was obvious that Old Ou hadn’t discussed with Li Fang and the others before saying this, so they hesitated a bit.

But it was just a moment of hesitation, then one of them raised his hand, and the other two spoke up at the same time.

The one who raised his hand also shouted: "I’m coming...."

The other two spoke at the same time: "I’m coming..."

Yan Fei suddenly laughed: "Then all of you come. This job isn’t really a good one, but you can try it. If you can’t do it, that’s fine. When Heizi first came, he thought about running away every day. He was just unlucky. He once ran to the county town but happened to be seen by me just as he got off the vehicle. Have you ever seen someone as unlucky..."

Although it had not been a full year, it seemed like a long time ago to Heizi and he couldn’t help but sigh, "That’s not called bad luck, it’s good luck! What a blessing that I didn’t run away. Otherwise, I don’t know where I’d be wasting my time now!".

This guy is even proud of this!

Looking at Heizi boasting shamelessly, the others didn’t laugh, their faces instead filled with envy.

They all used to play together as kids, now looking at Heizi, his face is shiny, clearly living a good life, even though they’re not sure how much money he’s making working at the ranch. More importantly, Heizi can now negotiate with big hooligans like Zhou Dalian.

Everyone could clearly see that Zhou Dalian, a seasoned hooligan, would definitely give Brother Fei some face. Whether it’s about using soft or hard tactics, public or private matters, Brother Fei can easily handle him. Having Heizi go over there and say a few polite words could easily resolve Erwa’s problem...

But just thinking that they’re now also part of the ranch team made their hearts flutter with excitement...
