1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 216

Chapter 216 We are very measured

“Shitou, please come with me first.”

Having lost a lot of money with stones, my heart is bleeding: "Can you wait until I know how to play? I will play two more games."

Li Duoyu frowned and looked at Shi Shi. He could have ignored him.

However, this kid is actually quite good and has never gambled. This is probably the first time he has seen this thing.

　　I was tricked and lost.

"I just met Tang Ping. If you don't come, the fishing spot next time will be given to him."

“Brother Yu, you can't do this.”

People nearby started cheering: "Yeah, I'm having a good time, what does it have to do with you?"

“Yes, if you don't want to play, then leave quickly.”

Li Duoyu sneered and said: "It's none of your business that I told him to go back. Why are you so anxious? Didn't you just shout for him to get up quickly? Everyone else is up, so hurry up and play."

When Li Duoyu said this, the group of people felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and they directly said: "It's up to you to control whether I want to play or not."

At this moment, Shitou also felt something was wrong. Brother Yu obviously just told him to leave, but why was he targeted by these people.

After calming down for a moment, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Those people who were attacking Brother Yu were the same ones who had won money just now, and they had been encouraging him.

Shitou followed Li Duoyu for a while, with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Yu, you have seen a lot of the world. Am I being deceived?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

“There's something wrong with that machine. There's a switch underneath that changes the direction of the marbles. You can't win at all.”

“Fuck him.”

Stone was immediately furious and planned to go back to them to argue.

Li Duoyu was a little speechless: "Can you use your brain? There are at least six of them, and they all speak with northern accents. They are obviously desperadoes wandering around. You go there alone and get beaten."

“But they defrauded me of almost forty yuan, so let's forget it. Brother Yu, are you sure their pinball machine really has a mechanism?”

When Li Duoyu heard this, he immediately knew what Shitou wanted to do: "Yes, there is a switch just above where the marbles bounce, wrapped in leather."

“Okay, it just so happens that my brothers-in-law are all in town, and a few friends are also here to attend the fair.”

Shitou gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, if you dare to come to our town to cheat, I will kill them all."

Li Duoyu reminded:

“Be safe and don't make matters worse.”

“No, we are very measured in our actions.”

Li Duoyu really hates this group of people, because most of those who engage in fraud have no bottom line. Many times, they even dare to defraud others of their life-saving money.

And this kind of people are just like gamblers. They become addicted to deceiving others. Once they make money through fraud, they will no longer be able to do serious things.

Stone ran to shake people angrily, but the dealers playing pinball machines repeated their old tricks.

Not even two minutes.

Some people who cannot withstand temptation have fallen into this trap again.

Li Duoyu sighed.

turned around and came to a store in town that specializes in custom-made signboards.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man wearing reading glasses. He is carving words on the wooden board with a hammer and chisel.

There are many styles in the store, including vertically hung fabric signboards, all-wood engraved signboards, and cement-lettered signboards.

When the middle-aged man saw customers coming to his door, he said, "Do you want to make a sign?"

“Well, I plan to make one.”

Li Duoyu knew this carpenter, and he was quite familiar with it. Others usually called him Dai Laoer, and he was the one who worked on Dandan Island.

His brother was the carpenter who was killed in the fight on their island, and Dai Laoer was the primary school teacher on Dandan Island before it was opened to the outside world.

However, during the time when his brother was being fought, he also suffered a lot. Later, when he found an opportunity, Dai Laoer escaped from Dandan Island.

From then on, he refused to accept any business from Dandan Island.

Fortunately, Li Duoyu has changed a lot, and when Dai Laoer left, he was still just a young boy. Otherwise, if he was recognized, he would probably not be given any extra money.

Dai Laoer said: "The styles are all hanging on the wall. Which one do you plan to make?" "The most common white background with red letters will do. I want four square signboards with one word on each, which should be larger. Something more eye-catching.”

Dai Laoer said: "Is this sign of yours placed on the factory building?"

“The master is still very good, he knows what I want to do right away.”

Dai Laoer pushed up his glasses and said, "I'm not bragging to you. I personally made all the signs on the factory roofs in our town. Recently, our town is building a cold storage and an ice factory, and they came early." Booked a sign with me.”

Dai Laoer then said: "How big do you want that one to be?"

“Each one is one square meter.”

"Okay, no problem. When the time comes, I'll give you better paint so it won't fade easily. By the way, can you write?"

"Write."

“There is paper next to it. You should write down the words for the sign first. By the way, your sign is relatively big, so you have to pay half of the deposit first.”

"no problem."

Li Duoyu wrote the four words "Minlong Food" and gave Dai Laoer a big unity ticket as a deposit.

Actually, Dai Laoer is not only good at making signs, he is also good at carpentry. If what happened that year had not happened, he really wanted to invite him back to the village.

After all, Dandan Island is really in short supply of carpenters, but thinking about it, it's not very possible. If the incident that happened back then were placed on him, he would probably only do worse.

However, what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that not long after he left, Dai Laoer returned to the small room behind the store.

He took out a photo frame and gently wiped the glass mirror with a cloth. There were photos of several people in the photo frame, and Li Duoyu knew all of them.

Inside were Zhou Xiaoying's deceased parents, and his father Li Zhengtian, and the ones standing at the front were him and Zhou Xiaoying.

At that time, they were still very young, but the overall outline of the boy in the photo still looked very similar to Li Duoyu.

Dai Laoer sighed:

“I didn't even go back when your children got married. I didn't expect it would be fifteen years in the blink of an eye. It's time to go back and see you.”

Li Duoyu left the sign shop and passed by the market, but found that the place was in a mess, and there were sounds of fighting.

“Damn it, you dare to fight back.”

“Don't let me catch you, or my hands and feet will be broken.”

I didn't think the boy of the stone, and he found a group of people so soon, and was chasing the bartender who was pushing the bartender.

The dealer who plays the pinball machine is very skillful and runs away after encountering a tough situation. Shitou and the others also have a clear goal, they only chase the dealer who plays the pinball machine.

What a coincidence, the dealer happened to run away in the direction of Li Duoyu.

Li Duoyu pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces. When someone came running over, he suddenly stretched out his feet, causing the other person to fall out on the spot.

His knees and face rubbed against the rough ground, and blood oozed out instantly.

Li Duoyu said with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do it. I didn't know there was someone behind me. You are bleeding. Do you want me to take you to the health center in the town for a checkup?"

The fallen dealer was about to curse, but when he saw that the person who tripped him was the young man who had taken advantage of him just now, his face instantly turned pale, and he realized that he had done it on purpose.

He got up and continued running quickly.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The moment he fell, the group of people chasing him rushed up and surrounded him.

Some were holding wooden sticks in their hands, and some were holding iron rods in their hands. Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, the pinball machine sellers knelt down on the spot.

“I was wrong, I will give you the money back.”

“Please don't hit me.”

But no matter how he begged for mercy, it was in vain. As an iron rod hit his hand, the screams spread throughout the market.

Those who are caught committing fraud these days will suffer roughly the same fate as thieves. They will probably die or be disabled.

Seeing how badly he was beaten, Li Duoyu frowned and suddenly felt a little ashamed that he would not be there today.

This group of people will probably make a lot of money and start eating big fish and meat directly.

“Stones and sticks will do, don't use iron rods. I don't want to go to the police station to get you.”

“I got it, Brother Yu.”

“We are very measured.”
