Rebirth of the Nine-Three Era

Chapter 0366: Eyes open at the sight of money

Huo Buqiang thought to himself: These two old men were too careless. The strangers were talking about hiding gold and silver before they left. Fortunately, he didn't have evil intentions. If it were other people with evil intentions, something might have happened. .

When he returned to Zhongbao Village, he saw that Sun Laizi and others had almost removed the beams on the roof.

Li Huadong had strict requirements, requiring them to try not to pry off the wooden slats on the beams, and to remove everything that could be removed intact.

A large pile of dismantled beams was piled nearby.

He asked Li Huadong to go back to Haikou. After all, it was dozens of kilometers away from Haikou, and it would take Li Huadong nearly an hour to ride a motorcycle.

Li Huadong also asked him: "What are you eating at night? Or you can drive to buy a fast food and come back, and then I will go back. It doesn't matter if I go back later."

Huo Buqiang said: "I buy two packs of instant noodles from this grocery store and that's it for dinner. I've always been very casual about eating."

He told Li Huadong: He went to Shangbao Village to find dozens of pieces of old furniture. The truck that will bring the old furniture tomorrow will basically be full.

"An old man owns two large huanghuali coffins. Mr. Yin said he could take them back at a high price."

He said to Li Huadong: "Today they took down the beams, and tomorrow they will take down the walls. You can go to Xiabao Village and buy anything as long as it is Huanghuali wood."

Li Huadong agreed.

Purchasing old furniture can earn hundreds of thousands per village. What else can be more profitable than this?

But he must also pay attention to maintaining a harmonious cooperative relationship with Huo Buqiang.

The business of demolishing the old house cannot be delayed.

He rode back to Haikou, went to the bank to withdraw more than 100,000 yuan, and then came to the hotel.

Ahua was very happy to see him come back. The two returned to the rental house and cooked rice and vegetables.

Since he resigned from the hotel, they rented a house near the hotel, paying special attention not to live with Alian and the others.

Li Huadong also asked Ahua: "Is that Wang Shuilian still working in the hotel?"

Ahua told him: "When she came to work this morning, the manager asked her to go to the financial settlement and leave. That Qing Dayong said he would work as a porter at the station, loading or unloading trucks, and said he could earn twenty yuan a day."

Li Huadong said: "Being a porter is exhausting and you can't make much money."

He hung the bag with the money on the hanger at the door of the living room and helped wash and chop the vegetables.

He told Ahua: "I found dozens of pieces of old furniture in Zhongbao Village. I can load the truck and deliver it tomorrow, and I can earn hundreds of thousands like in Xiashan Village. Today the old house in Zhongbao Village started to be demolished. . While I was guarding the construction site, Huo Buqiang went to Shangbao Village and negotiated for dozens of pieces of old furniture. He also said that he had negotiated for two large huanghuali coffins from an old man. Mr. Yin told him that he could take them back at a high price. I guess he will take them back today. What we talked about this afternoon can earn more than ten or two hundred thousand."

Ahua said with emotion: "That Qing Dayong worked so hard that he only made twenty yuan a day. Huo Buqiang made more than ten or two hundred thousand in half a day. How can he compare with others?"

Li Huadong also believed in his heart that without Huo Buqiang taking him there, he would never have been able to find such a way to make money.

The two cooked the food and were about to eat when there was a knock on the door.

Li Huadong turned to look at Ahua and asked her, "Have you made an appointment with someone else?"

He was afraid that something bad like that would happen to him that Huo couldn't afford.

Ahua said: "If you are not at home, who should I date? Last night Alian asked me to come to see me, but I rejected her. She always wanted to ask me about Huo Buqiang, but I said I didn't know."

The knocking on the door continued, and Li Huadong stepped forward and opened the door.

Standing at the door is Wang Shuilian.

He said: "Li Huadong, I saw you came back just now."

Although Li Huadong didn't want her to come in, he couldn't bear to drive her away. After all, they were acquaintances before, and he and Qing Dayong had a good relationship on the surface.

Wang Shuilian walked in.

Li Huadong closed the door and returned to the dining table.

Ahua asked Wang Shuilian: "Have you eaten?"

Seeing her looking lonely and sad, she said to her in her heart: You brought it upon yourself, you deserve it!

Wang Shuilian shook her head and said, "I can't eat it."

Ahua brought her a bowl and asked her to eat some food together.

Li Huadong said: "I'll cook some more rice."

Wang Shuilian said, "Don't bother me. I came here to ask you something."

Li Huadong said: "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after dinner."

He gave her a bowl of rice and asked her to sit down and eat.

He thought: The worst he can do is skip a bowl of rice and go out to buy some late-night snacks later.

Ahua also told Wang Shuilian not to be polite and just eat whatever you wanted.

After dinner, Wang Shuilian said to Li Huadong: "Isn't that Manager Hua a very good friend of yours? Can you say a few nice words to me and beg him to help me recruit me back to work?"

She said: "I have a brother at home who is still studying, and my mother has no ability to make money at all. Now my mother doesn't know that Huo Buqiang and I have a falling out, or that I have been fired. I told her last time I have found a boyfriend with good conditions and he treats me very well. If she knew that I broke up with him, my mother would definitely scold me to death."

Li Huadong thought to himself: I was the one who asked Manager Hua not to agree to your resumption of work. I will definitely not be able to ask him for your help again.

I already told him about this when I asked him for a drink last night when I came back.

He said, "Didn't you go and beg him? What did he say?"

Wang Shuilian said: "Manager Hua said that Qing Dayong fought hard and had a bad impact on the hotel, so he did not dare to hire me again."

Li Huadong said: "That's true. If you work in a hotel, Qing Dayong will often go to the hotel to cause trouble. He will definitely not dare to come to you."

Wang Shuilian said: "As long as he allows me to go back to work, I will break up with Qing Dayong immediately. He will never go to the hotel to find me again in the future."

Li Huadong thinks her idea is too naive. If you agree to go to work, you will break up with Qing Dayong. If you don't agree, you will still stay with Qing Dayong.

You said before that you and Huo Qingfeng were together, but you and Qing Dayong were no longer together long ago. That was because Qing Dayong was locked up and couldn't get out.

As soon as he came out, he found you and fooled around again. Who would dare to believe your promise?

To take a step back, you really broke up with Qing Dayong. Qing Dayong knew that Wang Shuilian was re-hired on the condition of breaking up with him. He would not use a knife to chop others.

Li Huadong expressed his thoughts directly. He said: "I don't want to help you with this matter. I guess Manager Hua will never agree to you going to work. Why should he cause such trouble."

Wang Shuilian also tried to ask: "Aren't you and Huo Buqiang collecting wood from the old house now? Did you say anything about this incident between me and him? What did he say?"

Li Huadong rolled his eyes at her and thought: Are you still thinking that people will talk about your kindness? Stop daydreaming. No matter how good you are in other aspects, no man will accept your capricious character, not even an ordinary man, let alone someone as outstanding as Huo Buqiang.

He said: "Huo Buqiang promised to see clearly what kind of person you are earlier, before getting married or buying a house. He is very lucky to know that you are this kind of person. He once thought about buying a house in Haikou and staying here for a long time. Life. I still don’t understand why you are obsessed with Qing Dayong. He is in good health, and Huo Buqiang is not bad, right? "

Wang Shuilian said regretfully: "I must have lost my mind."

She added, "Can I borrow your mobile phone and call him so I can have a few words with him?"

Ahua glared at her and said, "Don't you have a mobile phone yourself? Huo Buqiang is good enough to you. He rents a house for you, buys you a mobile phone, buys clothes, and even agrees to buy a house together. Until now, I still don't know I don’t understand, why are you doing this?”

Wang Shuilian said: "He saw my number and didn't answer my call. He went to a public phone outside to call. When he heard it was me, he immediately hung up without saying a word to me."

Li Huadong said: "I suggest you not to pester him again in the future. It is no longer interesting. There is no possibility of reconciliation between you."

At this time, there was a knock on the door again.

Li Huadong opened the door and saw Qing Da standing at the door with courage, and said loudly to Wang Shuilian: "Wang Shuilian, what's the matter with you? I worked hard at the station for a day as a porter, and when I returned to the rental house, it was cold. The stove was cold, the rice was not cooked or stir-fried, and there was no one around.”

Wang Shuilian yelled at him: "You haven't given me a penny. I've been out for a few days. You eat and live in mine. How much do you think my monthly salary is? Now I have no job and I can't even support myself." , what can I use to support you?"

Qing Dayong said: "Didn't I work as a porter today? I made thirty yuan today, but I ate fast food at noon, drank a bottle of wine, and smoked a pack of cigarettes. I still have ten yuan here. I'll give it to you." you."

He took out ten dollars from his pocket, squeezed in from beside Li Huadong, and handed it to her.

Wang Shuilian remembered the last time Huo Buqiang took out three thousand yuan from his pocket and gave it to her.

"Go buy a mobile phone and a few sets of other clothes. Give your mother and brother some money. If you don't have enough, ask for it from me."

Thinking about how comfortable people are with thousands of dollars, and how arrogant and domineering this rotten person is even with ten dollars, she became so angry that she pushed his hand away and shouted: "Get out of here, don't come to me again in the future. I don’t want to mess with you anymore.”

Qing Dayong reached out and slapped him in the face, and said: "Have you ever hung out with rich people, and your eyes have reached the sky? It's a pity that people don't want a bastard like you."

Li Huadong said coldly: "Don't hit people in my rental place, get out."

He is a soldier, and although he is not as tall as Qing Dayong, he is definitely capable of pressing him to the ground and rubbing him in a fight.

Qing Dayong saw his unkind expression and knew that he had offended him, so he hurriedly walked towards the door.

Li Huadong accidentally knocked Li Huadong's bag full of cash to the ground, and several hundred-dollar bills fell out.

Qing Dayong's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Li Huadong stepped forward and collected the money.

Qing Dayong said: "Lao Li turned out to have made a fortune. No wonder he speaks more forcefully than before. If there is a way to make a fortune, I will bring my brothers with me."

Li Huadong glanced at him coldly and said: "Who dares to take you, except those who smash, smash and loot. Forget it, I didn't get along well with you in the past. From now on, you can handle your own affairs and don't disturb me when renting a house. Everywhere, especially when I'm not home."

He looked at Wang Shuilian and wanted her to leave now.

But Wang Shuilian covered her face and cried.

Qing Dayong turned and left.

Li Huadong carried the backpack containing money to the bedroom, took his pajamas and took a shower.

Ahua persuaded Wang Shuilian in the living room.

Wang Shuilian said: "I won't live with him anymore. Tomorrow I will go back to the village to stay for a while. I can't find anything to do in Haikou after the Chinese New Year, so I will go to Jiangming to work. A cousin of mine is a team leader in a craft factory in Jiangming." , you can go find her."

She discussed with Ahua: let her sleep here in the living room tonight, and she would go back to her residence to pack her luggage tomorrow morning.

Ahua went to discuss with Li Huadong: "She and I are from the same village, and we are acquaintances no matter what. If she goes back tonight, Qing Dayong will definitely beat her, so let her sleep on the sofa in the living room all night, right?"

Although Li Huadong is absolutely unwilling, if he refuses cruelly, Ahua will also have opinions about him.

So he said nothing again.

Ahua hugged a blanket and gave it to Wang Shuilian.

He also asked Li Huadong in a low voice: "Why did you withdraw so much money?"

Li Huadong told her that she would use the money to collect the old furniture from Zhongbao Village tomorrow. The old furniture could be taken back after being brought to Jiang Ming.

Ahua went to the bathroom to take a shower and asked Wang Shuilian to do the same.

Wang Shuilian couldn't help but ask Ahua: "Your Lao Li and that Huo Buqiang are making a lot of money collecting wood from the old house, aren't they?"

Ahua had told her because Li Huadong had told her not to tell others about how much money she made, so as not to avoid other people being jealous and causing other troubles.

But she saw the money again just now. She thought about it and said, "Huo Buqiang asked him to fetch that money. The money he will take to the construction site tomorrow to pay for it is not my Lao Li's, but Boss Huo's."

Wang Shuilian believed that Huo Buqiang often put tens of thousands of dollars in the drawer when he was with her.

Thinking of this, she felt extremely regretful and wished she could slap herself in the face.

Ahua went back to her room to sleep, and whispered to Li Huadong: "You have to keep that money well. The money fell out just now. I saw that both of their eyes were shining brightly, especially Qing Dayong. You robbed money. Alian asked specifically about this just now."

Li Huazhong woke up on the spot: "Yes, that Qing Dayong often hangs out with a few bad guys. I don't want him to be jealous of money and come to me in the middle of the night to take advantage of my money."

At this time, he felt that leaving Wang Shuilian in the living room overnight was a disaster. If she opened the door and let Qing Dayong and others in at night, he would probably suffer a big loss.

Thinking of this, he stood up, walked outside and locked the door.

At this time, Wang Shuilian was taking a shower in the bathroom.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the bathroom door was left open a crack, and the sound of running water could be heard from inside.

Li Huadong frowned and went back to the room and said to Ahua: "A simple-minded person like you has no sense of precaution at all. How dare you take in someone like Wang Shuilian? Go to the bathroom outside and see. When I first left, The bathroom door was still closed, but when she heard me going out, she opened the bathroom door on purpose. What do you mean?"

Ahua heard this and went out to take a look. Sure enough, she saw the bathroom door open.

She quickly closed the bathroom door and said inside, "Be careful of the impact. I, Lao Li, am still at home."
