I am The Villain’s Dad

Turns out, three days ago, when his son Su Yaotian was begging on the street, the so-called Uncle Liu had already appeared.

Strictly speaking, he and Su Yuyang weren’t friends, and at most, they were co-workers in the same factory. However, he and Su Yaotian’s mother, Dong Shuying, should be familiar with each other. Both of them grew up in the same compound.

Both parents were also employees of the same factory.

Even the factory director under whom the original owner worked for was a former co-worker of Father Dong, who saved the factory director. That was why Su Yuyang was able to transfer from his original workplace to this factory.

People heard that he also squeezed out whoever was in the team leader position.

The original owner didn’t care about these things, and didn’t know the specific situation.

Then, when ‘Uncle Liu’ came to visit relatives in this city, after recognizing Su Yaotian, Uncle Liu mentioned his mother’s name and some information about his family.

Because of that, Su Yaotian believed that he was a friend of his parents, but he didn’t just leave with him immediately.

That day, Uncle Liu gave Su Yaotian a few yuan.

This morning would be the second time this happened.

Su Yuyang suddenly came to his senses. He thought, ‘How could my son be so lucky these two days, bringing back money twice in a row, and both times with such large amounts?’

When people see beggars, even if they were kind, they would usually give only around 2 to 5 cents. Giving 1 yuan was too rich.

But his son brought back 5 yuan both times.

The father and son bought enough buns for them to eat two meals.

“Uncle Liu said that Mom and Dad quarreled, and Dad won’t take me back to find Mom. But he also said he had a good relationship with Mom, and could take me back.”

“Then, why didn’t you go with him?”

Su Yuyang’s heart was shocked. Unexpectedly, his son’s abduction and trafficking was not just another regular case of human traffickers, but someone had targeted him from the start.

He did consider that it might be an acquaintance who committed the crime, or that the original owner was too hard on his son, and his son couldn’t stand it.

But it never occurred to him that this so-called Uncle, surnamed Liu, gave his son to the traffickers.

What the exact situation was like, what happened back then, he wanted to find out.

“I wanted Dad to come home and make up with Mom. I didn’t want to leave Dad. I didn’t believe what he said, and Mom didn’t know him very well.”

But then, Su Yaotian scratched his head.

“However, he said he would come back the day after tomorrow, and if I still didn’t want to follow him then, I won’t have another chance.”

“Well, Baobao did the right thing. Even if he knows Mom and Dad well, you can’t just go with anyone without Mom and Dad’s permission.”

Su Yuyang advised his son again and got his promise. Only then did he settle down.

Now, it was just that unkind Uncle Liu left that he would never let go off.

“Boss, are you interested in cooperating with me?”

Su Yuyang spoke as he took the money from his boss once again.

“What kind of cooperation?”

The owner of the waste recycling station looked curious, having never heard that there was cooperation in garbage collection.

“Don’t you have a truck over there? Let’s use the truck to recycle trash in the provincial capital, where the recycling price is higher.”

As a beggar, the original owner knows these things very well. After all, he lives around garbage dumps and waste recycling centers, and has more or less heard some news.

“The provincial capital isn’t far. You can travel back and forth in about an hour. The question is, is this price difference enough to save money?”

The boss understood Su Yuyang’s meaning, except that as he collected scrap here, every once in a while, a big truck from the province would come and haul away the scrap he had here, making a good profit for him.

His truck was only a small truck which couldn’t carry too many things. If he doesn’t make enough money, how tiring would it be to go?

“Of course it is enough. Even that big truck is willing to come, so why couldn’t you go instead? Surely, you could also reconsider this matter, but what I want most from you in working with me is that you will only accept scraps from me from now on, and nothing else. Of course, the price you pay for that could be reduced by a dime from what it is now. When we have a pleasant cooperation, we can also change to a big truck and transport it directly to the provincial capital. If we go back and forth three or four times a day, we will earn more money.”

This was just a small waste recycling station, so the truck from the other side of the provincial capital only comes once a week.

If they followed Su Yuyang’s mode of operation, they could fill up this scrapyard in just a day’s time.

“Can you pile me up several times a day?”

The boss gave Su Yuyang’s words a listen. Indeed, this young man had a way of getting him a lot of stuff, and was afraid he wouldn’t be able to have enough to eat here, and even suggested that he transport to the provincial capital himself.

He is an ambitious man.

Fortunately, he was the only regular recycling station certified by the state in this city. Otherwise this guy might not be working under him.

“I can do it, but I need you to sign a contract with me.”

“Then, you try it once tomorrow, do it, and I’ll sign with you.”

He was also a simple man. Otherwise he wouldn’t have gone to get this certification so early.

“Okay.”

In the next two days, he recruited a group of people, who were all old, weak and sick.

But they weren’t afraid of hardship or fatigue.

Due to various reasons, they were jobless, but still needed to bear the responsibility of supporting their families.

Seeing the boss agree with his selection of recruits, he turned around and left. Three hours later, the boss saw a batch of waste sent in.

***

Sure enough, after a while, the waste recycling station was full.

After getting the money, he paid those people on the spot, and everyone went out happily to continue collecting waste products.

“You have talent!”

The boss couldn’t help but praise him.

The biggest obstacle in doing recycling was getting dirty.

Few people were willing to go through the trash. They thought, how much would they gain by just relying on the little scraps they have stored at home?

So, when a young man came to sell waste products, the boss felt it was very strange.

He thought the guy might stop working after a few days, but he didn’t expect him to have the idea of expanding and improving his garbage collection practice.

On top of that, he even recruited so many people.

In the past, when the boss tried to recruit helpers, he couldn’t even get one. He thought that the salary wasn’t high enough. As a result, no matter how high it was, no one came to work. Instead, it attracted some local ruffians and hooligans that caused trouble.

“Boss, you…”

“Sign the contract, let’s sign the contract now, and I’ll get a truck for us tomorrow. My friend’s house has one, just make sure you guarantee delivery to me.”

He was also a thoughtful man of 40 years. Why would he want to spend the rest of his life in this recycling station? Unfortunately, things haven’t improved since he started, and he was thinking of selling it off after another year.

But, he never expected to meet such a worthwhile individual at this moment.

“Okay.”

Su Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief.

With a way to earn more money, he now gained the confidence to confront those traffickers, and ultimately, the man who, in the original, killed his son.

***

Liu Dashi stood at the intersection where he had made an appointment with Su Yaotian, looking a little impatient. He waited for two days, but the boy didn’t show up. What happened? Has that father of his taken him back again?

He had already come to an agreement with the other party for 5,000 yuan for the boy, and he’ll have him brought over by tomorrow.

This was the first time he did this kind of thing, though it wasn’t the first time he contacted that side.

The person he knew from that side was one he considered a drinking buddy. He had little skill, but always had money to drink and play cards. He was intent on getting close to the other guy, and one way or the other get him to spill the secret of how he made his money.

He also knew that the things that guy did weren’t legal, and he had never entertained the thought before, but who told him to be short of money recently?

Besides, that Su brat deserved it. Who told his father to waste his mother’s love. That scum father also stole the girl he liked.

Anyway, now that his father is divorced from his mother, he was only a beggar outside. If he was sent away with human traffickers, he might even be able to live better. Liu convinced himself that he was doing a good deed, and was helping the boy.

“This kid, it’s not like something went wrong, did it? I better go find out.”

Liu Dashi muttered as he started to look for Su Yaotian. Children couldn’t walk too far, so if he looked around for a little while, maybe he could find the kid.

He also made a mistake, thinking that children are gullible, give him money and he wouldn’t take it, so he didn’t follow him back. If Su Yuyang found out, he wouldn’t be able to get out of this later.

5000-yuan, he can’t just let it slip through his hands.

***

“What are you looking for?”

Su Yuyang was standing in front of him, wearing a clean shirt, with his hair cut very smartly. He was holding Su Yaotian, also dressed in the same level of cleanliness.

“I heard from our family’s Tiantian, that the money that we used to buy food came from you. Here, this is the money I should return to you. Thank you, Brother Liu.”

Su Yuyang smiled innocently and handed over the 10 yuan he was holding.

Liu Dashi really didn’t want his money back. What he wanted was Su Yaotian, who was worth 5,000 yuan! Why would he want a meager 10 yuan?

Besides, isn’t Su Yuyang a beggar? Why is he suddenly so clean again, and give him back the money?

“How did you…?”

“I’m rich, I won the lottery. I’m going back to my wife now.”

Su Yuyang smiled brilliantly and proudly, exactly like the bragging face of the original owner.

“Won the lottery? How much money have you won?”

Liu Dashi reluctantly pressed down his sour heart. This bastard was really lucky, right?

When he took the technician exam, it was because the questions were too simple that he passed the exam. Later, he married such a good wife and got lucky. Now, he finally got divorced and lost his job, but he won the lottery.

“It’s not much, just tens of thousands.”

Su Yuyang didn’t think of hiding the amount. The original owner was a fool with a few hundred yuan to spare. If he won the lottery, how could he remain lowkey?

“Let’s go, I’ll invite you to dinner!”

Without waiting for Liu Dashi to react, no matter whether he liked it or not, Su Yuyang just pulled him into a restaurant.

After going in, he ordered 7 or 8 dishes in one breath and ordered 2 bottles of good wine, like a nouveau riche.

“You really hit the jackpot, huh?”

Looking at him like this, Liu Dashi really believed that Su Yuyang won the lottery.

“How could I lie to you? This was a lottery ticket bought with the 5 yuan you gave me. It stands to reason that I should thank you well, but it’s also because of my own good luck.”

Su Yuyang’s cheap appearance was exactly the same as when the original owner bragged.

“Hey! Brother is right, that money was given to you. Of course it is yours, and you also won the jackpot because of your good luck. What does it have to do with me?”

Liu Dashi’s heart was vomiting blood to death. But on the surface, he had to follow Su Yuyang’s words and praise him.

In the back of his mind, however, he had already begun to calculate what it would take to extract the money from Su Yuyang’s hands.

What was the 5,000 yuan for selling Su Yaotian? The real fat sheep now is Su Yuyang, and he could kill him if he wanted to! He is stupid anyway.
