Zhao Hong's store also closed on the 28th. Although the store had only been opened not long ago, the business was good and she made a lot of money.
She closed the shop early in the afternoon and went to the vegetable store to buy some food. When she came home, she found that Jin Kun was at home. She couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why are you back so early today?"
"Oh, I said hello to the factory and I'll go out for a while because I have something to do."
Zhao Hong put the dishes in the kitchen: "What's going on?"
Jin Kun didn't want to talk more: "Liangzi and the others have something to do with me."
Zhao Hong sensed something was wrong, and immediately lowered his face and said, "Are you going to fight again? Can't you just live your life in peace?"
"Don't worry about what's going on between men."
Zhao Hong said angrily: "You went out to fight with others, what if you were hacked to death one day?"
Jin Kun stood up and walked to her side, and said pointedly: "Don't worry, I can only die on you."
Listening to his vulgar words, Zhao Hong frowned in disgust. Seeing him lowering his head to come over and kiss her, he quickly turned away and said, "Go if you want. I'll make dumplings tonight. If you don't come back, I'll eat them myself."
Jin Kun glanced at her, turned around and picked up the clothes on the bedside: "It depends on the situation, try to come back as soon as possible."
After that, he put on his clothes and turned around and left the house.
"Brother Kun."
As soon as Jin Kun came downstairs, Zhao Liang hurriedly greeted her from the stairwell: "I happened to see my sister-in-law coming back when I came here, so I didn't dare to knock on the door and call you."
Jin Kun nodded: "What happened this time?"
"You remember Zhao Zhuzhu from the steam turbine factory? He was so good at showing off. That end of the commercial street has always been our territory. Who didn't know that area was under your control? That jerk wanted to extend his hand when he saw how he was making money by collecting protection fees.
They arrived at our territory. After warning them once, they started fighting with our brothers. There are many people at the turbine factory. The two sides agreed to solve the problem by the river tonight, otherwise we won't be able to ask you to come forward."
Jin Kun nodded and walked towards the river with Zhao Liang.
It gets dark very early in winter, and it's already a bit blurry to see people outside at five or six o'clock. However, because few people come up on the ice after the snow falls, the ice on the riverside is a bit brighter than in the city against the white snow.
Dozens of people from both sides were already confronting each other, each holding a hard thing more than one meter long.
When the meat factory saw Jin Kun coming, everyone's eyes lit up in unison.
"Brother Kun!"
Jin Kun nodded towards his brothers and turned to look at Zhao Zhuzhu, who was wearing a military coat and a sheepskin hat opposite him: "Brother, I heard that you want to cross the line?"
Zhao Zhuzhu spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth and said with a disdainful expression: "Brother, you have to be kind. Who doesn't know that there is a fat man on the commercial street? I'm afraid it's not good to eat alone? You can easily be jealous, you say?
Isn’t that right? Let’s discuss it. I don’t want all of the street, but what do you think of half of it per person?”
Jin Kun smiled: "I really have no say in this matter. I have to ask my brothers if they agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a response from behind: "I disagree!"
Jin Kun turned around and said, "You heard it too. My brothers said they disagreed, so don't embarrass me. The Chinese New Year is about to come, and we all have families and families, and no one wants to be proud of themselves. I don't care about what you did before when you crossed the line."
I won’t pursue you any more. I didn’t say anything today. As long as you don’t cross the line again, I promise I won’t pursue you anymore.”
"Hey, your tone is not too small. If you don't hold me accountable, you can pretend to be pretty good!" Zhao Zhuzhu said, raising his hand and giving Jin Kun a slap in the face.
"Brother Kun!" The twenty or thirty people behind Jin Kun immediately stepped forward and raised the guy in their hands. The person on the other side of Zhao Zhuzhu was not to be outdone. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Jin Kun raised his hand to stop it, and then
He wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb, wiping away the scarlet color.
Zhao Zhuzhu thought that he was cowarded, and said with some pride: "People have always said how powerful you are, but it seems that it is just that. If you don't have the ability, don't dominate the other side of the commercial street, otherwise be careful how you die one day.
Don’t even know.”
"Like this." Jin Kun took a step forward and suddenly took out a dagger more than a foot long from his waist. Looking at Zhao Zhuzhu, a look of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "I, Jin Kun, have no other abilities. I only rely on my strength to fight."
You're so strong, if you dare to use this knife to stab yourself in the hole, I won't say anything and the commercial street will be yours today."
Zhao Zhuzhu's eyes flinched: "You, what the hell is wrong with you? I'm so idle that I'm going to stab myself with a knife?"
Jin Kun retracted the action of passing the knife and turned to face his arm. When he pulled out the knife again, it was still dripping with bright red and warm blood.
"Brother Kun!" Zhao Liang exclaimed and immediately ran forward to check, but was stopped by Jin Kun. His face did not change, and his brows did not even wrinkle. He raised his hand and patted Zhao Zhuzhu's shoulder, mockingly saying:
"Brother, you don't even dare to touch a knife and you still want to hang out on the street. Go home as soon as possible and find your mother to feed you."
Zhao Zhuzhu had never seen such a "crazy" person before. He tried his best to swallow, but he didn't dare to speak again.
Can you still fight with a person who is desperate for your life? Anyone with any sense knows how to choose.
Jin Kun silenced everyone present with just one knife. When no one spoke again, he asked his brothers to leave as if nothing was wrong.
After leaving the riverside, Zhao Liang accompanied me to the hospital for bandaging. The wound looked quite deep, but it did not hurt the vital part. The doctor stitched it up and bandaged it before leaving the hospital.
"Brother Kun, brothers know that you are doing it for everyone's good, but it is really unnecessary. We are not weaklings. I'm sure no one will be afraid of you."
"Okay, Momojiji, since there's nothing else, I'll go home first."
Zhao Liang was a little worried: "Will my sister-in-law talk about you?"
"What does a girl like her know? Just don't waste her money."
…
After Zhao Hong finished making the dumplings and put them in the pot, he hesitated for a moment. He left half of the dumplings in the drawer and put them on the balcony to freeze. He went to bed not long after finishing his meal.
Jin Kun woke him up at night. When he saw the bandage on his arm, his expression suddenly changed: "Are you injured?"
"I saw the dumplings you left for me." Jin Kun avoided answering, but kept moving his other hand: "My wife is still kind to me."
Zhao Hong was a little disgusted by his intimacy. She stretched out her hand to push her and said with a gloomy look: "It's so late and your hands are still injured. I'm sleepy. Go to bed quickly."
…
Time flies to the thirtieth day. After breakfast early in the morning, the adults and children start busy pasting couplets and setting off firecrackers, while the women kill fish and chickens to prepare for a sumptuous lunch.
"Third sister-in-law, I have discussed with Xingye and we will contract the supply and marketing cooperative to do it myself in the next year."
While Zhang Xiaoju was working, she was talking to Chen Lishu about her plans for the coming year.
