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

Chapter 16: 1,000 Yuan in Hand
The next day, Yu Dawei began cleaning as usual. He had already removed about a third of the cement from his excavator, though he hadn't yet found the time to clean the particularly difficult sections.

Duan Dahai got up and saw that Brother Yu was still busy with his car. He couldn't help but remind him again, but Yu Dawei didn't tell him the actual situation.

The car outside looks exactly the same as it did yesterday. Even the pair of oil gloves on the car haven't moved an inch. Anyone who goes to look would just guess that Yu Dawei didn't repair the car at all.

Yu Dawei thought this was a good idea. Otherwise, if people found out that the car had been repaired, and someone reported it to Zhang Mazi, the car might break down again after it was fixed.

I've already experienced human nature once since returning to this era.

The onlookers had been waiting since around 8 a.m., and continued until noon and into the evening, but the young man from the recycling station never came out to repair the car. He didn't even climb onto the car to take a look.

This has led many to speculate that this kid might really be just a braggart who doesn't think before he speaks, and probably doesn't have any real skills.

During this time, Zhang Mazi repeatedly went into the courtyard to mock Dawei.

He even saw the Hitachi excavator in the yard completely covered in cement, kicked it, and arrogantly said, "This machine is a piece of junk. Can it be repaired? If it can be repaired, I'll eat shit."

Yu Dawei didn't care at all about the other person's face, which looked like he was always out there eating and drinking for free.

He was busy with his excavator, waiting for the moment when evening would arrive.

As the sun began to set, Xu Tianzhu and his men rushed to the scrap metal recycling station. He immediately launched into a tirade against Yu Dawei: "Are you taking advantage of my kindness? You think you can fool me?!"

Two hours earlier, Xu Tianzhu learned that the young mechanic surnamed Yu hadn't looked at his car once all day, and he knew something bad was going to happen.

He'd definitely been tricked! Xu Tianzhu couldn't stand this insult! He spent a fortune to quickly arrange a tow truck while rushing towards the scrap metal recycling station, determined to beat that bastard to a pulp today!
"Mr. Xu, let's talk this out, let's talk this out." Duan Dahai ran up to Xu Tianzhu and tried to smooth things over with a smile. "Young man, you're too young and ignorant. Please forgive my rudeness."

"Hmph! I earned five hundred a day, including labor and wages. If you pay me that and apologize, I'll let it slide because you're so young." Xu Tianzhu also had his own thoughts. He had already delayed the project for many days and dared not delay any longer. He had to hurry up and get the truck to the oil city.

"I told you so, a kid who lives in a garbage dump and hasn't even grown his first hair can repair imported cars? He should take a good look at himself in the mirror." Zhang Mazi stood aside and mocked without any politeness.

I felt incredibly relieved. Today, I was able to let out all the resentment I felt from yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before that, from the car repair.

"The car is fixed." Yu Dawei casually placed the sledgehammer aside, took off his "steaming" hat, and wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks.

"You're talking nonsense! He hasn't left the yard a single step all day!" Zhang Mazi explained, then stared at Yu Dawei and said sarcastically, "You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

Duan Dahai also noticed Yu Dawei's stubbornness and recklessness, and hurriedly pulled him to his side to persuade him gently: "Dawei, now is not the time to be temperamental. If you really didn't touch the car, we should apologize to the other party and compensate them. If you don't have enough money, I have some here, you can use it first."

Yu Dawei felt a warmth in his heart and smiled at Duan Dahai: "Don't worry, Brother Duan, I know what I'm doing."

"Mr. Xu, come with me." Yu Dawei led Xu Tianzhu and his group to the Komatsu 850 excavator. "Mr. Xu, send a mechanic to test drive it."

"You, surnamed Yu! How dare you say that! Do you really think all these people are monkeys, letting you run around like a fool!" Zhang Mazi angrily pointed at Yu Dawei, "I'm not afraid to tell you, I've been watching you since last night! I can vouch for everyone, this kid has never even touched this car!"

The trailer truck driver who had been following behind Xu Tianzhu seemed to be getting impatient as well. He coldly approached Xu and said, "I'm telling you, are you going to tow this truck or not? I have other jobs waiting for me today, and I don't have time to waste with you guys." "I don't care about your few minutes!" Xu Tianzhu glared at him, making the driver shrink back in fear. "Master Xiao, you've heard what Zhang Mazi said, don't make a fool of yourself. Hurry up and pay me so I can leave."

"Master Zhang, don't speak too confidently." Yu Dawei sneered, his burly figure strutting towards the other man. "Do you really dare to say you've been waiting since yesterday?"

Faced with the overwhelming pressure emanating from Yu Dawei, the frail Zhang Mazi's heart trembled: "Hmph! I left last night because it was too cold. Even if I wasn't here in the middle of the night, you couldn't have fixed this car in just a few hours!"

Zhang Mazi took two steps back and moved closer to Xu Tianzhu: "This kid is obviously a swindler!"

"Whether it's a scam or not, we'll know once we test the car and see if it moves." Yu Dawei put his hands in his coat pockets and walked to the base of the wall.

"Fine! I'll test drive it myself!" Xu Tianzhu's face was icy cold. "But let me tell you, if this car doesn't move today, you'll regret it!"

Xu Tianzhu made a harsh statement and stepped into the driver's seat.

When the people around saw that the car was about to start, they quickly followed Yu Dawei's example and moved to the base of the wall, where it was sheltered from the wind and warm.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A scene that seemed like a miracle appeared.

The excavator, which had been parked on this site for more than a month and had broken down, suddenly trembled briefly the moment Xu Tianzhu started it!
This is a good sign! It means the car has enough pressure and power, which is completely different from the previous days. There's a very high chance it will be able to move!

Even Xu Tianzhu, who was sitting in his seat, began to have his heart pounding uncontrollably.

Then, the people at the base of the wall saw that the boom and boom, which had been "resting," had all sprung up, and the excavator's tracks had also started to exert force!
Walk forward, walk backward, spin...

Looking up at the excavator raising its bucket, everyone's face was filled with shock.

Zhang Mazi and his apprentice were utterly shocked, their eyes wide and mouths agape, their expressions filled with disbelief!
"Master, this, this car is moving!" The apprentice was completely overwhelmed by the shocking scene before him. He had been working with his master to repair cars for over a month, but in the end, he had never seen a car move so smoothly.

"It moved, it really moved." Zhang Mazi's heart sank to the bottom as Xiaosong moved quickly.

He gritted his teeth, wanting to publicly explain that he had fixed the car himself, but he was also afraid that the other party would get angry and damage the repaired parts again, making him fix it all over again.

Zhang Mazi knew his own limitations; if the other party dared to do this, he was definitely finished.

It's not a big deal if it's not fixed properly, but it's a problem with my character. I guess no one will ever ask me to fix their car again.

The thought of being publicly humiliated made his old face turn pale.
