The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 153 Trouble Comes_1

Kong Zhenggang’s actions made Li Qing’s gaze jump fiercely.

This man was obviously a ruthless character.

He was like a wild dog that wasn’t afraid of death.

If entangled by this man, it would surely be a huge trouble.

Just watching his behavior at the moment was enough to make Li Qing’s scalp tingle.

Old Kong the Third pounced forward, grabbing Kong Zhenggang, who still wanted to duel with Gong Ge, and roared, "Stop it, do you want to get us all killed? Stop!"

"Uncle Third, let me kill this surnamed Gong, my face is ruined!" Kong Zhenggang bellowed.

"Do you want to die, huh?" Old Kong the Third freed a hand and fiercely choked Kong Zhenggang’s neck, "He’s one of Lü Zong’s men!"

Old Kong the Third’s forceful attitude finally subdued Kong Zhenggang.

With reluctance, he asked, "Uncle Third, are we just going to let this go?"

"What else do you want? It could really get someone killed!" Old Kong the Third said in a stern voice, "Let’s go!"

Kong Zhenggang’s face was twisted with rage as he stared fiercely at Gong Ge, slowly tucking the wrench into his waistband.

He then followed Old Kong the Third onto the double-row seat.

Gong Ge leisurely lit another cigarette and said to Li Yumin, "Big brother, just follow our Boss Xiao Li and work with peace of mind from now on. Old Kong the Third won’t dare to interfere anymore."

Li Yumin’s mouth twitched slightly, giving an uneasy smile.

Probably the act of Gong Ge pressing the cigarette butt onto Kong Zhenggang’s forehead had scared him.

"Gong Ge, I think Kong Zhenggang still seems a bit unconvinced," Li Qing said.

Gong Ge chuckled lightly, "A kid that’s good at fighting and being fierce, I was much fiercer than him back in the day when I was really in the mix. Don’t worry, with Old Kong the Third there, he knows his limits and shouldn’t cause further trouble."

"But if there is any trouble, stall them and call me immediately."

Only then did Li Qing truly feel at ease.

The sudden appearance of such a formidable rival made earning money a genuinely frightening experience.

"In this case, when I come to get the goods in the next few days, you don’t need to deliver them yourself," Gong Ge thought for a bit and then added.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat.

With a gloomy face, he said, "Gong Ge, can you give me a clear picture, will Old Kong the Third retaliate?"

Gong Ge laughed silently, "Don’t be so nervous, there generally won’t be any problems, but it’s better to be safe than sorry."

"Old Kong the Third definitely wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you. Lü Zong could crush him with a flick of his finger. I’m just a bit worried about that nephew of his, these foolish young guys, they don’t know their own strength when they strike."

This was something Li Qing had already experienced.

"But I still need to deliver goods to other homes," Li Qing said with concern.

"Then you come with me," Gong Ge said, "Run with me for a couple of days. If there’s nothing wrong, you can continue on your own."

Li Qing nodded, unable to deny that Gong Ge’s considerations were quite thorough.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t feel secure in his heart.

Gong Ge put the cigarette in his mouth and opened the car’s trunk, taking out two gift boxes and handing them to Li Qing.

"Lü Zong asked me to bring these especially for you, a little benefit for the holiday," he said.

"There’s such a good thing, too," Li Qing replied as he took them, smiling.

"Which proper businessman doesn’t provide some benefit to their employees during holidays?" Gong Ge said with a smile, "I’ll take my leave now, I’ll come over again tomorrow morning."

Li Qing waved his hand, watching Gong Ge leave before turning to Li Yumin and asking, "Village Chief Li, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

He could tell that Li Yumin was also somewhat wary of Gong Ge.

He probably lumped him together with Li Yumin as birds of a feather.

"The Wenguan Leaves have already been fetched, it would be best if Boss Li could take them," Li Yumin said with a forced smile.

"Let’s go to my place first," Li Qing suggested.

After bringing Li Yumin home, Li Qing deliberately concealed the incident that had just occurred and did not mention it to Han Mei and the others.

He was worried that if his sister-in-law found out, she would definitely be beside herself with worry.

It wasn’t until after weighing and settling the accounts with Li Yumin that Li Qing learned just how severely Old Kong the Third had undercut the prices for Sanhe Village.

Wenguan Large Leaves had been pressed down to 25 yuan per jin, so it’s no wonder Li Yumin took the initiative to contact Han Mei after receiving the news.

Moreover, this included the Wenguan tender leaves.

Sorting two or three jin of tender leaves out of the 130 plus jin was not difficult.

The profit margin here was extremely terrifying.

After agreeing on the next method of purchase with Li Yumin, Li Qing personally escorted the guest to the village entrance.

In the evening, Li Qing and Gao Li made a trip to the county town, delivering today’s goods in person.

When Gong Ge left today, neither he nor Li Qing remembered that today’s goods had not been delivered. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But fortunately, the thing Li Qing was worried about did not happen.

Kong Zhenggang did not stop them halfway to cause trouble.

...

The next day.

The sky was slightly overcast.

In this hot summer, this was a rare and refreshing weather.

When Li Qing and Gao Li returned from collecting Wenguan leaves in the mountains, Gong Ge was already at Li Qing’s house.

He was holding a disposable paper cup, sitting under the pomegranate tree outside Li Qing’s house, sipping tea.

He was chatting idly with three women who were working.

"Gong Ge," Li Qing greeted as he approached.

"How’s the preparation going?" Gong Ge looked up and asked.

"We can load in a bit," Li Qing said.

"Good, you get ready. Once I’ve finished this cup of tea, we’ll head out," Gong Ge nodded and said.

This man, with a stature like an iron tower, still wore a stern expression.

But perhaps because they had become acquainted, when Li Qing looked at him now, he seemed somehow kind and amicable.

This kindness and amiability, in another sense, could also be a feeling of security.

Li Qing packed both the Wenguan tender leaves sorted out yesterday and the newly purchased leaves from today.

Just as he was about to load the truck, Shi Liang suddenly called.

"Bro, I’m afraid I have to break my promise today."

This statement made Li Qing’s heart suddenly tighten.

What does that mean?

"You don’t want it anymore?" Li Qing asked anxiously.

Shi Liang burst into laughter, "No, it’s not that. My car broke down on the way, I’m fixing it right now. It might be a bit late before I can get there."

"Where are you? I’m just about to go to the county town to deliver goods, and I can bring them to you on the way," Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling nearly scared to death, thinking the guy really didn’t want them anymore.

"That would be great," Shi Liang said excitedly, "I’m at the repair shop next to the gas station on the national road."

"You going to the county town should be right on the way. I’ll cover the gas expenses."

"If doing business means sweating the small stuff, then we can’t cooperate. Brother Shi, you concentrate on fixing your car; I’ll call you when I get there," Li Qing said.

"You’re a straightforward guy, so I’ll wait for you at the repair shop," Shi Liang agreed readily.

Li Qing had not initially planned to ask Gao Li to deliver again.

The Wenguan tender leaves were not many, and they could be directly fitted into Gong Ge’s trunk.

But if the Wenguan Large Leaves were included, that wouldn’t work.

In three days, Li Qing had accumulated a total of over 760 jin of Wenguan Large Leaves.

He had no choice but to ask Gao Li to come along and use the three-wheeled motorcycle for a delivery.

After loading the vehicles, a three-wheeled motorcycle and a small car pulled out of Sanhe Village together.

While passing through the town, Li Qing asked Gao Li to stop the vehicle.

He had just gotten out of the car to buy a pack of cigarettes for Gong Ge when he suddenly ran head-on into three young men with dyed yellow hair.
