In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 108: Barbarian's Misoperation? PW40 Broke?

"Come inside, Dawei," Aunt Hou Xiaorong said, then asked, "Where did you get so many cabbages?"

Yu Dawei glanced at the old woman's wrinkled face and suddenly forgot the reason he had come up with on the way.

"Well, well, I work on a construction site, and I get along well with the canteen cook. He bought too much cabbage today, so he gave me some. I took two bags, but I can't finish them all. You can have one bag with your family." Yu Dawei smiled a little awkwardly. "Auntie, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

The old woman's eyes clearly held a hint of scrutiny, but she concealed her emotions well. She pulled Yu Dawei's arm and said, "Come inside and stay for a while. It's been so long since you've come to my house. You can't just come and leave like that. It's not too late to leave after you've eaten."

"Auntie, I really have something to do. My wife is waiting for me at home." Yu Dawei pleaded with the old man and woman for a while before finally leaving their house.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. Hopefully, he hadn't given himself away. The old lady wasn't usually a suspicious person; she probably wouldn't overthink it.

After comforting himself, Yu Dawei drove his four-wheeled vehicle to the old man's house in the backyard, gave the old man half a bag of cabbages, and took the rest back to his own house.

That evening, Yu Dawei took his wife to his grandfather's house, where they ran into Uncle Yu Chen.

From what he said, it seemed that the old lady was very happy that he was thinking of her, and praised herself for being successful in the past two years, knowing how to bring things home. Then she belittled her own youngest son.

Especially now that she's been in Hohhot for several years without any news, Aunt Hou occasionally complains that her cousin Yu Dafu has no conscience.

Yu Dawei smiled but didn't say anything. In his previous life, Yu Dafu was much better off than him. Back in the oil city, he had to rely on his cousin for help.

There aren't many entertainment options in the countryside at night; people mostly just chat, and once they've had their fill of conversation, they go home.

The next day, Yu Dawei did what he always did: first, he went to Manzi's place, then to the highway construction site in town, and finally to his third uncle's place. There, he saw his third uncle had laid out a bunch of delicious food on a small table in his room.

Yu Dawei immediately stopped on his way home, thinking of asking his third uncle for a favor.

Actually, getting a free meal was secondary; the roast chicken and other dishes were just so-so, and the braised pig's head was also only average in taste.

He was simply keeping his third uncle company, waiting for news from Teacher Wang. It was true, more real than real gold!

And so, as the father and son were eating and drinking at night with the light bulb on, Baldy Si and Big Belly Qi drove back in their 212. They entered Third Uncle's room one after the other, laughing.

"Heh, roast chicken and braised pork knuckle again, Third Brother, you really know I haven't eaten." Fourth Baldy didn't care about that and went up to break off a chicken leg and started gnawing on it.

Qi Dadu wanted to follow suit, but Hou Wanshan pulled off his leg first and threw it to Yu Dawei, who was sitting opposite him.

Then the third uncle tore off a large piece of the chicken's tail and threw it into Qi Dadu's hand: "The chicken tail is yours today."

"Slurp." Qi Dadu couldn't help but swallow, his eyes shining as he stared at the chicken's rear end: "Thank you, Third Brother, we're really in for a treat today."

Normally, chicken butts and duck butts were reserved for Third Brother. Today, Qi Dadu never expected that Third Brother would give him his favorite parts.

"Tell me about it," Uncle San said, shoveling a glass of baijiu into his hand and looking up at the two of them.

"Hehe, this morning all his relatives and insiders went over and blocked his parents' way." Baldy Si chuckled as he chewed on chicken. "Not only that, we also went to... cough, protect, protect anyone who has anything to do with Xiao Wang."

"We've also been paying close attention to the principal and teachers of Erdaogou School," Si Tuzi added.

While eating chicken butt, Qi Dadu added, "That guy surnamed Wang also has an engaged woman. We found out this morning. We were worried that Teacher Wang might attract too much attention and offend some people she shouldn't, so I specially sent more people to her fiancé's house. Right now, all of our brothers should be loitering around his house."

"Also, that guy surnamed Wang left Songyong Village and went back to his hamlet this afternoon. He wanted to find someone to deal with us, but we ignored him. Anyway, we have somewhere to vent the grievances that Si Tuzi and I suffered," Qi Daduzi added.

Four Baldy felt a surge of satisfaction. He poured himself a jug of baijiu and took a big gulp: "He probably figured out what was going on when he got home. He kept begging us to let him go when we drove away! Third Brother, I reckon he'll finally shut up this time."

"Heh, what's that saying again?" Third Uncle tilted his head, a cold smile playing on his lips: "I won't offend others unless they offend me; if they do, I'll grind them to dust. Since this kid dares to act so arrogantly, don't blame me for turning the tables on him!"

“Observe him for two days and see if he still dares to incite other villages. If he really calms down, call him back first.” Then, Uncle San changed the subject, “Then do me a favor in the next few days. Dig up dirt on this Wang guy as thoroughly as possible, from when he was three years old until now. I want to know all the mistakes he has made, the stains on his life, and the dirty things he has done.”

"Row."

"no problem."

The two readily agreed.

Yu Dawei, who was quietly eating a chicken leg next to him, couldn't help but silently mourn for Teacher Wang for three seconds.

Why did you have to mess with this petty third uncle? In Dawei's memory, no one is as petty as his third uncle.

Although your third uncle is usually quiet and reserved with outsiders, you'd better respect him, otherwise he might hold a grudge for a lifetime.

These were things his cousin Yu Dafu told him when he was a child, and Yu Dafu, in turn, heard about from his mother when he was a child—the same Aunt Hou who delivered vegetables to him. In short, it all comes down to this: Better to offend the head of the Minquan household than to offend Aunt Hou alone.

Just as Yu Dawei had predicted, although Teacher Wang did indeed behave himself and continue teaching.

But within a few days, rumors began circulating throughout the village, the town, and even the village itself, about some of the stains on Teacher Wang's life.

One of them was something that no one could tolerate, and it even surprised my third uncle.

When this guy was teaching at the central school, he got very close to several female junior high school classmates. One of them even dropped out of school because of him.

This person is not as honest as he seems.

However, the old headmaster couldn't find any fault with him, so he eventually sent him to teach in the village on a fabricated pretext.

Then, the third uncle once again manipulated human nature, continuously expanding the impact of this matter, so that all the parents in the entire Erdaogou Elementary School knew about it, especially the class taught by this teacher, Mr. Wang, whom the third uncle even arranged for someone to pay special attention to.

Parents at Erdaogou Primary School began to worry about their children's health and inquired whether Teacher Wang had been getting too close to them.

This is still rational. Some irrational and short-tempered parents went directly to Old Wang's house, opened the door, and gave Mr. Wang a good beating, trying to force something out of him.

Ultimately, this seemingly honest and kind teacher, Mr. Wang, couldn't withstand the pressure from the whole village and actually broke his promise.

And everything was just as Uncle San had predicted. How could a beast who could lay a hand on a junior high school student teach a primary school student with such purity and indifference?

And just like that, the scandal at Erdaogou Elementary School was completely confirmed. When the parents of several children found out, they almost killed him with a knife.

When Yu Dawei heard this bombshell, he was also filled with disbelief. Who would have thought that Teacher Wang, who used to be quite well-known in various villages, would have such a drastic change in public opinion?

He had previously returned to his village and talked to the principal of Heshan Elementary School about Teacher Wang. The principal of Heshan Elementary School also spoke highly of Teacher Wang. I wonder what Principal Zhang from his own village is feeling now that he has heard such a big piece of news.

Yu Dawei never expected that his third uncle would do a good deed for Erdaogouzi without his knowledge. Teacher Wang was very lucky to have met someone with his third uncle's relentless and vengeful nature.

In the end, Mr. Wang's marriage didn't happen. When the woman heard that he was such a scoundrel, she broke off the engagement and didn't even return the betrothal gifts, which could be considered kicking him when he was down.

Meanwhile, the Wang family's relatives and friends have begun to distance themselves from them, and the neighbors living in Erdaogouzi are now spitting on the Wang family every day.

It was all because they offended his third uncle—Hou Wanshan!

The third uncle's final verdict on Teacher Wang was: "He brought this upon himself, what does it have to do with me!"

Very well, the matter has been completely wiped clean.

Yu Dawei actually wanted to praise his third uncle a bit more.

Because of the unseen intervention of the third uncle, the county education bureau issued an official document, which on the one hand vigorously investigated the teachers' professional ethics, and on the other hand conducted moral re-education for young teachers who had just started their jobs.

In short, because this was the first case of its kind involving Teacher Wang in the entire county, all levels of leadership attached great importance to it.

Little did his third uncle know this, he was simply working hard alongside his fellow workers at the construction site, occasionally keeping track of the project's progress.

Besides, ever since Yu Dawei took the cabbage back last time, his third uncle would occasionally ask Yu Dawei to go to the kitchen to get some leftovers or something.

Anyway, Yu Dawei knew without his third uncle saying it that his aunt's family had a share of everything, from the vegetables to the meat products.

As August approached, the watermelons in the Northeast watermelon fields were fully ripe, and Yu Dawei no longer needed to carry watermelons home from his third uncle's place.

Just when Dawei was thinking of taking a few days off to enjoy the best time of summer.

Sun Heming, the old village chief of Heshan Village, came over again on his old bicycle. As soon as he saw him, he shouted, "Dawei, something bad has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Yu Dawei looked embarrassed. He was just thinking of stocking up on some watermelons when he had some free time, and now this has happened again!
"Don't rush, come inside, have some water, and tell me slowly."

"No, no, I'm not drinking. Master Huang sent me to tell you that he broke that wheeled excavator. You should go and take a look." The old village chief said in one breath, then quickly paused to catch his breath.

Yu Dawei's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "It's over, what I feared has come to pass!"
These past few days he'd been wondering if the replacement parts would last until fall and winter, and then this happened to him!

"Come on, go to the backyard and get the tools. Put your bicycle in the four-wheeled truck bed, and I'll drive you back." Yu Dawei said goodbye to his wife first, and then left Yujiatun with the old village chief, heading straight for the second team's Shanwopengtun.
