Chapter 1303
Returning to Anguo
However, when it comes to fighting, Wang An is the expert. So before Du Bin's basket could even come at him, Wang An swiftly raised his foot and kicked Du Bin directly in the stomach.
Du Bin took several small, shuffling steps backward until his buttocks bumped into the consultation table behind him, causing the table to shift half a meter to the side before finally stopping.
However, this kick really made Du Bin feel bad, and he vomited while clutching his stomach.
Wang An did not continue, but instead said to one of the pharmacy clerks:
"Go and fetch Du Huaiping."
The main problem was that the kid's vomit looked extremely dirty and smelled like fermented liquor, so Wang An really didn't want to get close.
After Wang An finished speaking, the man nodded hurriedly and ran towards the back door.
In the county towns of that era, whether it was a pharmacy or any other store, they were basically all self-built houses. The kind of commercial halls that existed in later generations were extremely rare.
That's why in later generations, there were so many people who became rich overnight through land expropriation and demolition, which was incredibly enviable.
The three shops belonging to Han Xiaomin's family are very likely to be expropriated in the future.
Once the land is acquired, Han Xiaomin will instantly become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire.
The vast majority of these self-built houses used for business purposes are entrance rooms.
To put it simply, the front building facing the street is used for business, while the back building in the yard is used for residential purposes.
After the waiter left, Wang An casually found a chair and sat down, waiting for Du Huaiping to arrive.
Soon, in less than 10 minutes, the guy led a group of noisy and shouting people in.
That's right, it was a group of people, all cursing and swearing, and they all looked like they were going to kill Wang An and the other two.
Furthermore, this group of people were carrying shovels, hoes, pickaxes, forks, and other agricultural tools.
Upon seeing this scene, Wang An's eyelids twitched involuntarily. The main concern was: what kind of contestants were these?
They're clearly a bunch of troublemakers!
Without Wang An's instructions, Mu Xueli and Wang Li took out their large 54 pistols and pointed them at the group of people.
The moment the weapon of equality for all beings appeared, the group of people who had been cursing and swearing immediately shut up. They all stared at the dark muzzle of the gun and stood there motionless.
Wang An smiled and said to the group of people:
"I'm here to collect debts. I don't want to involve innocent people. This has nothing to do with you, you bastard. Get back to where you came from."
By the time he finished speaking, Wang An had reverted to his usual thuggish, scoundrel-like demeanor.
Admittedly, while Wang An's arrogant demeanor may be off-putting to some, it is indeed very intimidating to ordinary people.
Because any normal person must have seen the thugs and gangsters that are everywhere at this time.
The group of people, carrying shovels and pickaxes but dressed in tattered clothes, were clearly ordinary farmers living on this street.
And how could ordinary people dare to show off and act tough with thugs and hooligans?
To be honest, there's no way to avoid it!
Moreover, Wang Li and Mu Xueli are still holding the artifact of equality for all beings.
So although Wang An's voice wasn't loud when he said these words, the group of people all listened very obediently and turned around to walk back to the door they had just entered through.
When they haven't encountered a tough opponent, they're all incredibly boastful and talkative, but when it comes to actually fighting, they're all incredibly cowardly and quick to run away.
Finally, only a middle-aged man, about the same age as Ma Xingyao, was left.
If Wang An wasn't mistaken, this middle-aged man was the person he was looking for—Du Huaiping.
Wang An didn't waste any words and said directly:
"You must be Du Huaiping? We've taken over Han Xiaomin's debt. Including interest and our travel expenses, it's a total of 1200 yuan. Pay up."
Without those unruly villagers wielding shovels and pickaxes to rely on, Du Huaiping watched as Mu Xueli and Wang Li manually attacked the 54, just like Ma Xingyao before.
At this moment, Du Huaiping was trembling all over, his face filled with fear, yet he dared not speak out against his anger. Even though his own son was vomiting beside him, he didn't dare to go forward and help him up. Hearing Wang An's words, the old man forced a smile and said:
"Um, comrade, I don't remember having any debt dealings with this Han Xiaomin I mentioned to you."
Wang An was taken aback when he heard this. The main reason was that this old guy was already so scared, how could he still be so stubborn?
Wang An smiled, did not answer, and turned to Wang Li, saying:
"Fifth brother, go beat him up, beat him up badly."
Wang Li agreed, put away the large 54, and then leaped up.
Even though he was a middle-aged man with frail arms and legs, Wang Li could easily beat him up.
So Du Huaiping only resisted for a short while before Wang Li beat him until he was screaming and howling.
Two minutes later, perhaps unable to endure the physical pain any longer, Du Huaiping covered his head and begged for mercy:
"Give me my money back, give me my money back, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me."
Only then did Wang An wave his hand, signaling Wang Li to stop.
Du Huaiping groaned on the ground for a long time before finally managing to get up with great difficulty.
Du Huaiping, who had gotten up, stopped trying to pull the strings and didn't question the interest or travel expenses. He readily took out 1200 yuan, and there wasn't a single coin in it, only large bills.
This scene left Wang An somewhat bewildered.
I just don't know what Du Huaiping was thinking, insisting on getting beaten up before paying back the money. To put it bluntly, isn't that just being a jerk?
Without lingering, Wang An took the money and left with Wang Li and Mu Xueli.
Back in the car, Wang An, as usual, handed the money he wanted back to Han Xiaomin.
Perhaps because of the money she had received before, Han Xiaomin wasn't as excited this time. Instead, she suddenly wanted to divide the money in half among Wang An and the other two as a token of her gratitude.
Wang An naturally had no intention of accepting this money, and after some back and forth with Han Xiaomin, he finally said helplessly:
"Alright, alright, Xiaomin, tonight you invite Yuan Hongmei and Tao Wenjing over, and then we'll have a good drink and play all night, as your reward."
After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Li and Mu Xueli, who were sitting in the back, widened their eyes instantly, their faces filled with surprise and delight.
Han Xiaomin blushed and immediately stopped refusing, saying shyly:
"Hmph, you're all a bunch of thugs."
Upon returning to Anguo, Wang An and his two companions went back to their hotel to catch up on sleep.
The first thing Han Xiaomin did was to call back all the workers and shop assistants who had worked for her shop and pay them back wages for the first few months.
All the workers and shop assistants who received their money chose to stay; not a single one resigned.
Furthermore, according to these employees, when Han Xiaomin couldn't pay their wages, it wasn't that they wanted to leave voluntarily, but rather that Han Xiaomin told them to go home.
It has to be said that Han Xiaomin is definitely a very qualified boss for being able to win over all her employees.
Next, Han Xiaomin's shop began operating at full capacity, and everyone got busy.
Of course, the main tasks were preparing and transferring goods. You should know that the business brought by Wang An was almost half a year's worth of business for Han Xiaomin.
Whether it was because Wang An brought in this business or not, Han Xiaomin's shop, which had always been deserted, suddenly had a lot more customers.
It gives the impression that these customers were specifically sought out.
With more people, there were more people who could actually place orders and buy goods. In no time, Han Xiaomin's business was booming, with orders pouring in like paper scraps.
By the time the store closed that evening, the transaction volume of medicinal herbs had reached over 700 yuan, with a gross profit of over 100 yuan.
Of course, these were all things that Han Xiaomin said intermittently but with great excitement, when Wang An was chatting with her naked at night. (End of Chapter)
