Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 19 Pressure
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, the man was stunned for a moment, then nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

He straightened up, still kneeling, and kept searching his pockets with his hands.

After a while, he took out a pile of change.

"uncle,"

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Cheng with fear, "I only have this little money on me. Can I owe you the money I robbed you earlier? When I have enough money, I will pay it back to you?"

Although he said this, he had already made up his mind.

Wherever Jiang Cheng appears in the future, he will stay away.

Jiang Cheng looked at him quietly.

Until the man could no longer withstand the pressure and lowered his head.

He then said, “No need, don’t think I don’t know where you got all this money. If I ask you to pay it back, you will just rob more people.”

"this,"

The man laughed awkwardly. "Sir, it's not that we don't want to work and make money, but there really aren't many jobs around here. The city might be better, but people like us can't even get in."

"is it?"

Jiang Cheng sneered, "Then you'll go rob others?"

The man was speechless.

"You robbed me in the past, and I can let it go, but if I encounter you again in the future and you continue to rob others, he will be your fate."

Jiang Cheng pointed the stick in his hand at the man on the ground.

"I know, I know."

The man nodded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don't ask them for compensation.

Otherwise, they would definitely have to leave the neighborhood.

But even so, their lives will probably not be easy in the future. Once they are discovered by the person in front of them, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Put the money on the ground, go over and search for the money on him."

"Yes Yes."

The man felt a little distressed and put the money in his hand on the ground.

Then, he slowly stood up and walked towards his seriously injured companion step by step.

For a moment, he had the urge to escape, but in the end he didn't have the courage to do so.

He walked over to his companion and squatted down, the latter looking at him miserably.

"I'm sorry, you heard it too."

The man said this and began searching the latter's body with his hands. After a minute or two, he also found a handful of change.

"Put it on the ground, and then you can take it with you."

Jiang Cheng's voice came from behind.

"Yes, sir."

The man was as if he had been pardoned. After putting down the money, he carried his companion, who had been slaughtered like a pig, on his back and left.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that his companion would be in great danger after returning.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, let alone such a serious injury. Even if they had money, they were reluctant to give him treatment.

After seeing the two people leave, Jiang Cheng walked over and picked up the two piles of change on the ground.

I didn't count carefully, the total might be less than a hundred.

"No wonder you're waiting for me here. You don't even have any money."

Jiang Cheng snorted coldly and picked up the two daggers that had fallen on the ground.

In a blink of an eye, he already had four daggers...

"Too many knives is not a good thing either."

Jiang Cheng muttered.

Hiding at home also risks being discovered.

See if there is a chance to sell some next time. This switchblade is not cheap, one can sell for dozens or even hundreds of dollars.

Looking around, it seemed that there was no one there, but in fact, there were many eyes in the houses on both sides, looking at this place through the gaps.

Jiang Cheng wiped the blood off the short stick with dirt, smelled it, and after making sure there was no smell, he put it back behind him and pushed the tricycle back home.

He fought off two waves of people in succession, and this time it happened in daylight, so there were many witnesses. From now on, no one would dare to stop him and rob him in broad daylight.

After a long while, people began to come out of the house one after another.

"That guy is really amazing. He beat three people away by himself."

"Yes, but they were really brutal. One of them fell to the ground and couldn't move. He was bleeding a lot."

"He's so badly injured, I don't think he can be saved even if we carry him back."

"It would be better if they died. These beasts have their own hands and feet, but they don't go out to earn money and instead come to steal our money."

"That's it!"

Everyone was outraged and had no sympathy for the man's experience.

"By the way, that guy pushing the tricycle looks familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere." Someone remembered something and said.

"Now that you mention it, I have some impression of it, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."

"Hey, never mind him. That guy looks like a ruthless person. We should stay away from him."

……

When he returned home, the old man's eyes widened when he saw Jiang Cheng take out two large pieces of pork from the oil barrel.

These two pounds of meat cost sixty yuan.

Although she knew that Jiang Cheng had just recovered from a serious illness and needed nutritious food.

But food like pork is really beyond the family's affordability at this time.

"Grandma, Aunt Chen lent us three hundred yuan and treated me to a meal. I want to buy some meat and eggs to express my gratitude. It's only natural."

Jiang Cheng took out two pounds of meat, put it on the table, then took out two bags of eggs and said at the same time.

The old woman nodded, she agreed with Jiang Cheng's approach.

But if this happens, there will be little money left from selling sweet potatoes for a few days.

"Grandma, don't worry."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "The roasted sweet potato business has been good these days. I bought so many things and I still have more than a hundred dollars on me. I can make a lot of money by selling these sweet potatoes in the afternoon."

As he said this, he placed the money he had just searched from the two thugs on the table.

And he actually still had more than 500 on him.

It was the money from selling sweet potatoes a few days ago and from robbing the gangsters. Later, he bought charcoal, spending more than a hundred yuan. After deducting the three hundred yuan he had to return to Mrs. Chen, he still had more than two hundred yuan left.

It seems like a lot, but there are only ten days left until the end of the month, and the booth fee and management fee combined total three thousand yuan.

If the previous savings of more than 800 yuan were still there, he would be able to save up the whole amount by the end of the month. But now, unless Jiang Cheng could sell more than 200 sweet potatoes a day, it would be difficult to achieve this goal.

The good news is that his proficiency in roasting sweet potatoes has reached a high level. The roasted sweet potatoes taste much better than before, and perhaps he can sell more.

But if at the end, it's still not enough...

Jiang Cheng sighed inwardly.

In fact, he could accept the booth fee.

But he really didn't want to pay the management fee.

Robberies can happen in broad daylight, not to mention at night. The Wild Wolf Gang is left alone.

If you don't surrender, you're going against the Wild Wolf Gang. Anyone who has tried to resist will have grass three feet high on their graves.

"Grandma knows. You can send these to Aunt Chen and the others." The old woman said, looking at the pork on the other side. "Grandma will cook this piece of meat for you tonight. If you are in a hurry, grandma will cook it right away."

"Don't worry, grandma, eat it in the evening. I'll take the food there and come back to wash the sweet potatoes."

Jiang Cheng walked out of the house with a smile on his face, carrying the eggs and pork he had just bought.

The old man looked at Jiang Cheng's departing back, with a look of heartache in his eyes, and then he sighed heavily.

She didn't blame Jiang Cheng for spending money on meat. After all, who doesn't like meat? She only blamed herself for not having any skills and not being able to make money. She had to save money on eggs, not to mention meat.
