1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"You? I heard you're pretty awesome? No one can stop you from saying anything, right?"

After stepping through the gate and entering the yard, Chen Tiezhu glanced at the middle-aged man and said.

"Brother, this brother, do we have any misunderstanding?" The middle-aged man hurriedly said carefully, and took two steps forward.

Chen Tiezhu noticed that there was a small low wall next to where he was standing, and behind the low wall, there was a crowbar hidden.

"Who the hell are you trying to get close to? Don't you know that your family has made this thing so messy and annoying?" Chen Tiezhu said with his eyes wide open.

"I'll talk to you today and move out in the afternoon. Even if you want to move out at night, I'll tear down your house, do you believe it?"

"Brother, brother, let's calm down first. I think this brother looks familiar, he should be Murakami, we can discuss it if we have something to discuss, if we have something to discuss." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Brother Tiezhu..."

Erlin felt that it was time for him to play his role.

"Shut up, is it so hard for me to find a warehouse? You can't even do such a small thing?" Chen Tiezhu turned around and glared at him.

Erlin was so scared that he didn't know how to cooperate.

"You're still silent? Are you not convinced? What can you do? You embarrass me all day long, right?"

As Chen Tiezhu spoke, he poked Erlin's body with his fingers.

Erlin's small body couldn't stand his poking. He poked and retreated, and his expression was also very ugly.

And seeing his wet crotch and pants-wetting look, Chen Tiezhu seemed to be even more angry. He grabbed his neck and threw him to the side, and Erlin fell to the ground.

Erlin was really confused now, and there was no thought in his head. He didn't even notice that he didn't hurt much when he fell.

But others didn't know what was going on, especially Niu Er, whose heart was lifted.

Brother Tiezhu doesn't look like he's acting. He's too arrogant. Has he really been a big brother?

"What are you looking at?"

Chen Tiezhu turned around and looked at the middle-aged man.

"I just want to find a place to use as a warehouse. I've chosen this place. You can move it or not. Don't be shameless. When I help you move, I won't discuss it with you."

"Brother, we can move, we can move. Can we discuss it? Give me a few days. A poor family also has a lot of small things." The middle-aged man said hurriedly.

Chen Tiezhu nodded with satisfaction, "That's about right. Take me in to have a look and see how to put it in order."

Hearing his words, the middle-aged man's face suddenly froze, "Brother, my wife has been feeling unwell these days and is lying in the room..."

"Are you being shameless again? Do you think I'm thinking about your wife? I have plenty of women." Chen Tiezhu's eyes widened again.

"Boss, I'm up. Let this brother go in and have a look."

At this time, the door opened and the middle-aged man's wife pushed the door open and walked out.

She looked sick and had her head wrapped in a headscarf. The one holding her hand was their son.

Now the little boy was looking at Chen Tiezhu with horror.

Looking at the little boy, Chen Tiezhu felt pity in his heart, but he still tried to maintain his domineering look and walked into the room without looking away.

The layout of the houses in the county is similar. The couple lives in the west house, and the east house is filled with sundries.

But after walking in, Chen Tiezhu became more and more certain that this family has a problem.

The house is well organized, but the outside is so messy, which is inconsistent with a person's living habits.

"Niu Er, take a look, can you clean up this house in the future and let people live there?" Chen Tiezhu said, and at the same time, he used the corner of his eyes to pay attention to the expressions of the couple.

He noticed that when he asked Niu Er to look at the east house, the expressions of the couple were obviously "relaxed".

"Brother Tiezhu, I'll go in and take a look."

Niu Er responded and walked into the east house. He also moved around with it, as if to check the size.

"There's no need to make a good place for those monkeys. It's enough for them to help us keep an eye on the appliances we brought in." Chen Tiezhu said casually, and then he walked into the west house.

"Eh? You know what, Erlin, your house is really nice. It looks much wider than ours. If we clear out all the things and remove the kang, we can really put a lot of things in it."

While saying this, he also looked carefully at the house.

There is a set of bedding at the head of the kang, a kang cabinet at the bottom of the kang, and a round table top stuck on the edge of the west wall.

A pair of large boxes on the groundThere is a cabinet on the top and a cabinet below. There is also a floor cabinet on the west side.

The glass on the cabinet below was accidentally broken, so it was filled with broken paper.

"Brother, can you give us two days? It's winter and the New Year is coming soon. Without a place to stay, our family will freeze to death." The middle-aged man spoke.

"You look down on me? Can I do such a thing? I'll find a hotel for you and let you stay for ten days for free." Chen Tiezhu's eyes widened again.

"We are not short of money, but we just need a place to store the electric appliances. The big truck will be here tomorrow, and the payment for the goods is more than 100,000 yuan. Isn't it more valuable than you?"

"Brother, please be kind. Let us clean up for a day. When your goods come tomorrow, we can clean up everything, even the things in the yard." The middle-aged man's wife spoke.

"Why bother? Just say what's there to take from these broken boxes and cabinets in your house?" Chen Tiezhu said as he walked to the side of the floor cabinet and opened the upper cabinet door.

"Look, there are broken bedding and clothes inside. Can't we just pack them up and take them away? What's underneath? Oh my god, it smells musty and there are rat feces."

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely clear them out for you tomorrow." The middle-aged man's wife said hurriedly.

Chen Tiezhu was happy, "I won't play with you anymore. I guess I have a little kindness, otherwise I would have broken your hands and feet."

"Brother, you... what are you talking about? We don't understand." The middle-aged man said hurriedly.

"Brother, we will definitely be able to clean up everything before noon tomorrow. Just give us half a day tomorrow, please, brother." After his wife finished speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed.

"If you hand over the child now, I guarantee that you can accept the punishment of the law intact. When I find him, at least one hand will be cut off." Chen Tiezhu's face also darkened.

"Too clever is foolish. The rat shit you put there may be fooling others. But what kind of rat shit is that? It's been there for a long time. Even if you are a sloppy person, how can there be so many rats running around in the closet when the house is so clean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the couple collapsed on the ground, their faces turned pale.
