Chapter 189 - 189

Chapter 189 Eldest Brother InjuredYun Zhao has been leaving early and returning late every day lately, and sometimes he doesn't even come over for meals. Yun Ting doesn't know how her older brother is doing with his recycling business, so she plans to go and check on him." Older Female Cousin, after we've eaten, let's take some food to my older brother and check on him. He hasn't come over for several days."Actually, Yun Zhao hasn't come over these past few days because she got into a fight while collecting recyclables and has injuries on her face. She was afraid her younger sister would worry, so she didn't dare to go over.The three men were also scrap collectors. They insisted that the area was their territory and wouldn't let him go. But they were all just loafing around, relying on their own abilities. Yun Zhao didn't take their words to heart and went to collect scrap the next day anyway.He's full of energy right now! In just half a month, he calculated that he'd earned several hundred yuan.Because he offered fair prices, many people were willing to buy from him. That's why he was blocked and beaten by those three men. Although he fought back, how could one person be a match for three?Although he was injured, the other three were also injured to some extent.That day, it was an old lady who shouted that the police were there, and that's when the three of them ran away. Otherwise, Yun Zhao would probably have been more seriously injured.The old lady lived nearby. Once, she bought some rice, which was a bit heavy. She happened to run into Yun Zhao, who helped her carry the rice and herself home. She has always remembered this kind young man!Seeing him being beaten, he quickly came up with this idea and shouted it out.The old lady knew those three men were all scoundrels, and nobody wanted to give them any recyclable scrap."Young man, are you alright?" the old lady asked him with concern."Auntie, I'm alright, thank you!""Hey... no need to be so polite. Don't call me 'Auntie,' just call me Grandma Zou! You helped me last time, don't you remember? You bought rice and took me home.""Oh, it's you!""Those three are all hooligans in this area, always causing trouble. They occasionally collect scrap, but they don't do it properly. Sometimes they don't pay, and sometimes they just give a little money and call it a day. Nobody wants to give them scrap. You've messed with them, and you might be in trouble. You should be more careful in the future."Yun Zhao thought to himself, no wonder. When he first went to collect scrap, people were reluctant to give it to him, and some even asked about the price. It turned out it was because of those three people." Grandma Zou, thank you for telling me all this. If all else fails, I'll ask someone for help. My brother is a graduate of Public Security Collegethis year and is currently doing an internship! I'll have him come over and scare them.""Oh, that's great! Have your brother come over, and I guarantee they won't dare to do it again.""Alright, Grandma Zou, shall I take you back?""You child, you're injured, go back and rest. You don't need to take me. You're an honest and kindchild. Grandma will tell you a way. Go to Steel Plant and find their Factory Director Liao. Tell him you want to cooperate with them and collect their waste. They have a lot of waste."" Grandma Zou, but why would the manager of the Steel Plant want to see me?""Don't worry, I know him. I'll talk to him beforehand. You just need to go.""Well, Grandma Zou, I really don't know how to thank you enough.""Haha... If you really want to thank me, just buy me some delicious pastries when you make money.""Sure, Grandma Zou, I'll buy it and deliver it to your home another day.""Just kidding! You really want to buy it? No need, I have everything at home."Yun Zhao hasn't gone out to collect recyclables these past few days, but he's been tinkering with the broken radios he's collected at home; he's quite interested in them.Perhaps he has some talent; after fiddling with it for a few days, he actually managed to fix the radio."Big brother, are you there?"Yun Ting and Tao Cairi arrived at the gate, called out, and pushed the gate, which was bolted from the inside.Yun Zhao hesitated for a moment, then went to open the door. Even after opening the door, he kept his head down, not daring to look at Yun Ting."Little sister, Cai Mei, you've arrived."Seeing her older brother behaving strangely, Yun Ting frowned and looked at him, asking, "Brother, what's wrong? What happened?""I'm fine!""Why are you hiding if there's nothing wrong?"Yun Ting stepped forward and turned his older brother's face around. Although the bruises on his lips and eyes had faded a bit from the beginning, they were still quite noticeable.Yun Ting's face immediately turned cold. "Who did this?"This was the first time Yun Zhao had seen his younger sister so angry. He dared not hide it any longer, fearing she would beat him up the next second."They were three local thugs who also collect scrap. They wouldn't let me go collect scrap, but when I did, they blocked my way, and we got into a fight.""You didn't win?""There are three of them and I am the only one. How can I win? But they didn't fare well either.""Brother, you can't even win without telling us, you're just hiding away. If I hadn't thought of coming to check on you, you probably wouldn't have said anything.""Yeah! Cousin, if you need anything, just tell us. There's strength in numbers. If one person can't beat us, a few of us can, right?""Hmm, Cai Mei's statement makes some sense.""I was originally planning to find my underlings and have him come over in uniform to scare them a little..." Yun Zhao scratched his head sheepishly."You should try to find someone else first. He recently went on a business trip to the next province with his master.""How about we ask Zhou Zhiyong to go with us tomorrow to get revenge for my cousin?""No need for him, brother. I'll go with you tomorrow. I only have two classes in the morning. I'll come back to you after I finish them and see how I deal with them."Seeing that his younger sister was angry, Yun Zhao didn't dare to argue and just did as she said. At worst, he would stand in front of her to prevent her from getting hurt.At that moment, he was unaware that his younger sister could easily take on several men single-handedly. When he finally saw her unleash her fury and beat the men to their knees, begging for mercy, he was utterly dumbfounded. But that's a story for another time."Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."Have you eaten? We brought you some food."Hehe, I haven't eaten yet."Yun Ting noticed a radio on his desk and asked in confusion, "Where did this radio come from?""I received it; it was broken, but I fixed it.""Brother, you have this skill too?" Yun Ting was genuinely surprised."Hey...that's right, your older brother is quite clever."Cai Mei chuckled to herself.Yun Ting said irritably, "Yes, yes, you're so smart. You got hit and then secretly hid."Yun Zhao, who had been smiling, immediately frowned. "Little sister, can we let this go?""What? Feeling ashamed now? Next time Duan Xingye comes back, have him teach you a couple of tricks.""Sure! As long as you don't mind that your older brother is competing with you for her.""Big brother, so this is what you're like... Can you take it away from me?""Haha... I won't fight you for it.""How have you been lately? Is collecting recyclables going smoothly? Except for those three troublesome items.""Little sister, you're absolutely right, the profits here are huge. I've only been here for half a month and I've already earned six hundred yuan." He shared this good news with a face full of excitement and his eyes shining."So much?" Cai Mei was also surprised; she hadn't expected collecting scrap to be so profitable.
