Chapter 146: Whatever Brother Cockroach says, goes!
“You’re not bad, what’s your name? What did you do previously?” Zhang Xiao Qiang finally thought to ask for his name.
Hearing Zhang Xiao Qiang ask for his name, Common-face became slightly emotional, his voice wavering: “My surname is Lu, full name Lu Ren Yi! I used to help transport coal, in the future, I’ll do whatever Brother Cockroach requests of me!”
While his name represented loyalty, somehow, the pronunciation just sounds off. Lu Ren Yi? Passer-by? Even his name wasn’t higher than ‘Passerby-1’.
(This part is a bit hard to translate. Basically, the Chinese name is made up of the characters 仁义 Ren Yi, meaning righteousness. However, with the surname, it sounds like 路人 Lu Ren, meaning passerby, with the 乙 yi, meaning 2nd)
“What happened today? Aren’t they usually obedient and docile? How come there’s a revolt?” Zhang Xiao Qiang asked Frank, who couldn’t answer properly, his face red. Even after muttering for a long while, nothing coherent came out. The older sister behind him became anxious and grabbed Old Frank’s clothes. He noticed and pointed to Three, saying: “He..he..he was there, it’s better for him to explain.”
Seeing Frank selling him out, Three also had a complicated expression. He glared at the pitiful Frank, before revealing a smile that was uglier than crying as he started to explain.
Three had brought 5 women as they drove to the chicken farm. He had settled them in, arranging for them to wait at the 2nd story for Brother Long to distribute, when he came down and saw Su Qian using a gun to point at Frank. In the end, Three and Frank were tied up and Su Qian took Frank’s gun, before releasing all the women upstairs. They then disarmed Drunkard and went to wipe clean the firearms and ammo in Brother Long’s and Chen Yi’s rooms. Su Qian wanted to take all the women away, but 3 of them didn’t believe her and chose to stay, and the women from the granary were unwilling to leave as well. Su Qian thus brought 3 of Chen Yi’s women and one of Brother Long’s women away.
The men who were eating chicken feed saw that Drunkard had been disarmed, furthermore, before Su Qian left, she had announced that Brother Long and Chen Yi had died. As a result, 3 stepped out saying they should revolt and wanted to eat rice and meat, to enjoy women, and like this, all the men were riled up. They had gotten sick of the chicken feed already.
Wang Le saw that things were not right and went to the small garage to notify Three and Frank who were left there. After all, he was living slightly better since Zhang Xiao Qiang gave him the 7 or 8 bags of rice, plus there was the possibility of being gifted with a woman if he continued to work for Zhang Xiao Qiang. Zhang Xiao Qiang had given him some rewards just for making some weapons. If he worked hard, he might even have some kids. Now, this bunch of cowards was threatening to smash his hopes and dreams, he would not allow it. He didn’t want to watch the world burn.
By the time he released Frank and Three, the mob was nearing the garage area. The three of them didn’t have any weapons, hence they started to seal the door and windows shut, staying with the women in it. By then, the mob outside had killed Hairy and Drunkard, and when the cowards saw blood, they lost all their rationality. They wanted to move a ladder to climb into the garage through the 2nd story. Three and Frank were forced to guard. The mob thus started to fling stones at them, injuring them.
At the critical juncture, Wang Le and a few women transported a huge pail of boiling water over, which had been prepared by the chef, and they held their positions like that. It was until Lu Ren Yi and the rest arrived, and Cannon had ended up in the hands of the rabid cowards, and Zhang Xiao Qiang slaughtered a few of them, did the chaos start to die down.
