Chapter 192 old friends
A daughter is the treasure of her father's heart. It will definitely not be easy for any brat to marry someone else's girl. Wang Lang still knows that.
But he was surprised that Zhou Shou actually disagreed with Dahu and his daughter because of his family. He didn't understand this.
"What does he think of our family?" Wang Lang asked.
He wasn't angry, but it was quite strange. After all, their family was ranked high in the town in terms of wealth and influence, and was no different from the Zhou family. What was there to dislike?
"Uncle Zhou didn't go into details, so I just came back to ask you. It seems that Uncle Zhou thinks our business is not serious, right? Or did our family have any conflicts with Uncle Zhou in the past?" Wang Dahu asked tentatively.
"Conflict? No! When I was young, I used to hang out with that old boy Zhou Shou on the streets. It was just that I was young and naive. Later, after I got over it, he and I became friends, so there was no conflict!"
Wang Lang became more and more confused. They really had no conflict. He promised that neither he nor Zhou Shou would take the petty quarrel seriously.
"What about business? Does Uncle Zhou think our business is not good?"
After all, he runs a gambling house, and it really doesn't sound good to say that, but his family's business is so established, and his father has worked hard for most of his life to build it, and there is no way he will give up.
"I'm afraid it's for this reason. When I opened the gambling house, he advised me that it was very dangerous and the town was very chaotic at that time. To be honest, our gambling house is not completely clean. Hey!
At that time, the situation forced me to do it, and there was nothing I could do!"
Everyone is unclean, and they don't realize that this is wrong. Many families have been ruined and people have died. The competition between their gambling houses is all about gangsters and gangsters, and death and injury are inevitable.
As for Zhou Shou, it may be because his younger brother is the mayor of the town. Their relationship gradually became distant later on, and he didn’t want to be in a dilemma!
"You can go back and ask the girl from the Zhou family. If Zhou Shou is really responsible for this matter, then I will meet with him and make it clear."
The matter between children is also a major matter and should not be affected by past events. He and Zhou Shou have not seen each other for many years, and it is time for them to meet.
The Wang family father and son were worried, and Zhou Shou was also worried. They couldn't stay at home anymore and ran to Zhou Cun to discuss countermeasures.
"What do you think is so good about Wang Dahu? Why does Yan Yan like him at such an old age?" Zhou Shou was worried.
He said he would consider it, but that girl Yan Yan started to look at him every day without wanting to speak. He didn't understand why, she just urged him to make a decision quickly.
"I've known about this for a long time, and I don't agree with it, but Yun Niang insisted, giving a lot of reasons. In short, she didn't allow me to interfere with this matter. I originally wanted to tell you, but I thought you would also agree.
I found out very quickly and didn't say anything." Zhou Cun sighed and said.
Because of this matter a few days ago, Yun Niang had a quarrel with him and ignored him for several days. He simply stopped thinking about it and let nature take its course!
"Hey! My younger siblings are also women, so they must be thinking the same thing as Yan Yan, but this matter is not as simple as they think!"
"Actually, I went to check on Wang Dahu. To be honest, this guy is a good guy, honest and capable, and he has some skills. It's a pity that he is from the Wang family, otherwise I wouldn't object so much. After all, Yan Yan likes him." Zhou Shou
Sighed.
He looks good, he is honest, and he treats Yan Yan well. There is nothing wrong with him except that he is a little older. The most important thing is that Yan Yan still likes her.
Being a son-in-law is enough, but he is from the Wang family! The Wang family has a good family background, but it is difficult to ignore the dangers involved.
"Speaking of which, it's me, the uncle, who is dragging Yan Yan down. If it doesn't work, just let them do it! It's not easy for two people to be happy..."
Zhou Cun was also relieved. Even after what Yun Niang said, he had some thoughts in his heart. Moreover, if Yan Yan were to marry in this town, there was no suitable candidate. Wang Dahu was really good.
"No. Even without you, I can't worry about it. The Wang family has too many enemies."
When Zhou Shou said this, Zhou Cun didn't say anything. He also thought of those things in the past.
When Changlefang first opened, he had not yet become the mayor, but he knew that his brother had a friend who planned to open a gambling house.
Zhou Shou was very worried in those days. He and Wang Lang had never known each other before. They were both young at first and living on the streets with a few younger brothers. It was inevitable that they would not be convinced by each other.
They were just having a little fight, and the two of them had the same temperament, and became friends.
They didn’t deliberately play together, but the two of them were no longer at odds with each other, and sometimes they even had meals together. They didn’t talk to each other, but they recognized each other as a friend in their hearts.
Later, there was no point in playing anymore, and it was boring to spend the whole day doing nothing, so the two of them wanted to do something together.
At that time, in addition to studying, they were just working as hawkers selling some things. Wang Lang and Zhou Shou were the kind of people who didn't like reading. They were not too young, so they planned to do some business.
Zhou Shou started out in the fur business, and he did it in the town for a year. The business was not good, but not satisfactory.
Wang Lang started working in a big job. He wanted to open a gambling house. Because he had several younger brothers, the gang also needed a place to live. Wang Lang's family was not poor, and his father was spoiled by him. He wanted to open a gambling house.
It only took half a month to choose a good place.
This matter has been decided, I must tell my brother, but Zhou Shou is not very optimistic about this.
"The town is very chaotic. Doing business is not necessarily safe, let alone opening a gambling house. It is too dangerous. There are already two gambling houses in this town. There must be competition between them, but the gambling houses are all extremely vicious people.
, they will definitely not let you go easily. You have to think about it, you just got married last year." Zhou Shou advised.
"What are you afraid of? I thought about it before I opened a gambling house. There are definitely risks, but the profits of the gambling house are high. Just because I married my wife, I should earn her a share of the family business. I can also give her a share of the family business when I have children in the future.
He has a good life." Wang Lang said nonchalantly.
He knows his own temperament, and he is not that easy to offend. He also has a group of people under him, which will definitely develop when the time comes. Even if those colleagues are trying to take advantage of others, he is not afraid, and he is not the only one who knows how to use evil methods.
Zhou Shou couldn't persuade him, so let it go. Anyway, they were just ordinary friends, and their relationship was not really deep. He said that, and it would be up to Wang Lang himself in the future.
Zhou Shou was also busy with his own affairs, but he just heard that another gambling shop opened in the town, called Changlefang. It had many tricks and the shopkeeper was also bold. Many gamblers were eager to try it.
When Zhou Ting heard about it, he knew it was Wang Lang's new gambling shop. He sighed and sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and that was all.
He didn't pay special attention to it, but since he was a businessman, he still knew a lot of gossip. There was a big fight between Changlefang and two other gambling houses, and some people were injured or killed. This matter couldn't be hidden.
At that time, the mayor didn't care about the matter and didn't dare to take care of it. If the person died, he would just spend some money and get over.
Zhou Shou is not a heartless person. He has gone to see him a few times. It cannot be denied that Wang Lang has done a good job. He is worthy of being a street person. There are many new tricks in the gambling house, and more and more people are coming, so the money will naturally be made.
Make a lot of money.
"Would you like to work with your brothers? I'll tell you the truth, this gambling house is really damn profitable." Wang Lang didn't hide it from Zhou Shou. After all, people came and went and made money, and everyone knew it.
"No, I'd better run my own business. Although I don't make as much as you, it's still okay. The most important thing is that I feel secure." Zhou Shou refused.
"That's up to you." Zhou Shou didn't mean anything, and Wang Lang didn't try to persuade him.
"I still want to say a few words. Don't get carried away by making money. It's better to do your duty. Don't imitate those people. You'll lose your conscience."
"Don't worry! I know it in my heart. Except for those who are deliberately looking for trouble, I will not target innocent people."
Wang Lang wasn't angry either. After all, Zhou Shou was doing it for his own good and he could still hear his good and bad words clearly.
Zhou Shou also nodded and repeatedly told him to be careful. He was not alone. He had his family behind him. Wang Lang nodded one by one.
Later, it was Zhoucun High School. He said himself that he would probably come back to do something. His wish was to transform the town.
As the eldest brother, Zhou Shou was naturally happy and even took him out for a walk to learn about the situation in the town.
Although Zhou Cun also grew up in the town, he really didn't go out a few times. He focused on studying, and because the town was not peaceful, he didn't go out much.
This town is not that chaotic after all, but there is a huge gap between the people living in it. The rich are extremely rich, while the poor are really poor. It is not very prosperous, but people rarely starve to death.
After they all went out, Zhou Shou took Zhou Cun to Changlefang. Since we wanted to see the current situation of the town, Changlefang was also necessary to see.
Wang Lang had said hello, and Zhou Shou had also been here several times, so they went in without anyone stopping them.
Zhou Cun and Zhou Shou were both frightened. Wang Lang was torturing a man. The man was dripping with blood and refused to tell him what Wang Lang wanted to know even if he died.
At that time, Wang Lang was not as cold as usual. He had no expression on his face at all. But when the man's hand was crippled and the man screamed in pain, Wang Lang didn't even have an expression.
"Wang Lang, we failed this time, and next time there will be another time. I curse you, you will not die well, and your family will not die well -"
Before the man finished speaking, there was no sound inside. Zhou Shou's expression was very serious. As expected, Wang Lang's opening of this gambling house had already affected his family.
Even though Wang Lang has repeatedly said that he will be careful and protect his family, what if something happens?
