Chapter 226 Encountering an acquaintance at the west end of the village?
Two days later, Yu Dawei drove to work at the factory in Luhe Town, with Xiao Agui in the passenger seat.
These past two days, Xiao Agui has been fed countless doses of PDA. Luckily, he was able to hide in the backyard. Since he is about the same age as Er Yan, they were able to play together, and in the end, he even stayed in the backyard.
This can be seen as indirectly giving Yu Dawei and his wife some space to be alone, although little Muyu occasionally stares at them with her adorable eyes.
I don't understand why they have such a good relationship; they're always arguing or fighting.
"In a bit, let's go to Team One first to pick up your Uncle Axe, and then head to town. Old Ji should have arrived last night." Yu Dawei drove away from the back door of his house and explained the itinerary to Xiao Agui.
"Mmm." Little Agui nodded. He hadn't seen the two of them for several days and he missed them.
When I first arrived at the factory, Uncle Axe and Uncle Ji took care of me. My master hadn't started doing wilderness rescues yet.
Actually, I was quite scared, but thankfully Uncle Ji liked to joke around with me, which prevented me from feeling too lonely.
"It's a headache. What if there are more field rescue jobs when we get back? Our little car has been carrying too much weight." Yu Dawei sighed. "When we get to the factory, we'll sift through some tools again and try to lighten the weight as much as possible."
Yu Dawei was chatting with Xiao Agui when he drove his red Fiat out of the west side of the village. Just then, the two of them saw a white van parked in front of a house in the village.
"This car looks familiar. Isn't this the front door of Old Tian's house?" Yu Dawei tapped the brakes twice with his right foot, slowing the car down a bit.
"Hmm?" Xiao Agui's memory was better than Yu Da's. He glanced at the white van, and when he saw the deep scratch on the other side of the vehicle, he immediately remembered.
He quickly tugged at Yu Dawei's clothes, then began to gesture with his hands to describe the scene of repairing the car that day.
“I remember now! It’s the car belonging to Stone’s family in town, the one we fixed before, the one with the problem with the brake pads.” Yu Dawei’s face first showed realization, then a puzzled expression. “But how come he’s at Old Tian’s house?”
Yujiatunzi is mainly divided into three streets. Yu Laonian's family lives on the north street at the back, Yu Dawei's family lives on the front street at the front, and Lao Tian's family lives on the middle street.
The gates of the courtyards in the front, middle and back streets of Yujiatun open in different ways. For example, the gate of Yu Laonian's house faces south, and the main passageway of the courtyard also faces south.
However, the gate of Yu Dawei's courtyard faces north, which is similar to the house of Lao Tian, which is located in the middle of the street.
So the van was parked in front of a wide-open gate facing north.
"Wait in the car for a bit. Since you know the driver, you should at least ask him." Yu Dawei pulled the little red car to the side, then got out and walked towards the van. When he opened the car door, he didn't forget to take a pack of cigarettes from the handcuff inside.
When we arrived at the van, we saw a man sitting idly in the driver's seat.
"Knock knock." Yu Dawei knocked on the window twice.
The man was taken aback when he saw Yu Dawei, then his expression lit up with surprise. He hurriedly opened the car door, walked around the front of the car, and came to Yu Dawei: "Master Yu! What a coincidence! Aren't you repairing cars in town? You're from Yujiatun? Oh, I should have known."
That's right, Yu Dawei has finally remembered everything.
What left a deep impression on Yu Dawei were the shattered brake pads on the car and the man's machine-gun-like way of speaking.
Yu Dawei first gave a brief answer to the other party's question, then asked the question that had been bothering him, and casually lit a cigarette for the other party.
“A friend of mine contacted me and said that an elderly person in Yujiatun was sick, so I came here. The couple said they wanted to take the elderly person to the town health center for a check-up.” Shi Tou said, puffing out a puff of smoke as he smoked a cigarette. “It’s strange, I’ve been here for more than ten minutes and I haven’t seen anyone come out of the house.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
A couple of days ago, when he went to Uncle Yu Huai's house, he heard the two of them say that the couple was unwilling to treat Grandpa Tian. Uncle Yu Huai was helping with the free medical consultations, but the couple insisted on kicking Uncle Yu Huai and Chuanzi out.
Now, they've gone so far as to spend money to call a minivan from the town to take Grandpa Tian to the town's health center.
This whole thing just doesn't seem right.
They called a minivan from town, and the round trip would cost at least fifty yuan. Old Tian's second daughter-in-law, Liu Chun'e, really gave up fifty yuan to treat her father-in-law's illness.
Anyway, Yu Dawei didn't believe it.
However, he couldn't figure out what kind of trouble the couple was up to, so he could only pretend he didn't see anything for the time being.
Yu Dawei exchanged a few more pleasantries with Shi Tou before driving away. He remained preoccupied until he picked up Yao Jinfu in Xinglongtun.
It wasn't because of the Tian family couple, but because of Old Master Tian.
Back when Grandpa Tian was in the production team, I heard that he helped the men, women, and children in the village a lot. At that time, there were people from Lijiatun in the neighboring third team, and their work was often easier than that of Yujiatun. Grandpa Tian always followed behind Uncle Yu Quansheng and helped him argue his case.
Old Master Tian had a good reputation in the village, but it was a waste of his children. His three sons were all good-for-nothings. One went to jail for petty theft, another is in debt and has been missing ever since, and the third is a good-for-nothing who just listens to his wife.
Yu Dawei told Fu Zi what had happened on the way, and Fu Zi suggested that they go to the town health center to see if they were really treating Grandpa Tian. They would know immediately.
Yu Dawei hesitated. This matter didn't really concern him. He could just fix his own car. He wasn't some kind of saint who could save people from suffering. How could he care about so many people and things?
But when he thought about how kind Grandpa Tian was in the village, and then about how this couple was full of bad intentions and might even threaten the safety of other villagers, he couldn't sit still.
After driving Xiao Hong to the factory, Lao Ji had already changed into his mechanic's gear and was doing maintenance on the excavator.
Yu Dawei briefly explained some things that needed to be done, then turned around and drove to the town hospital.
Living in the same village, the worst thing is for this kind of person to cause trouble for their own family. Although the possibility is extremely small, Yu Dawei still cannot allow even the slightest possibility to happen.
So he drove off in his little red car.
When Lao Ji heard Yao Jinfu talk about the Tian family in Yujiatun, he was filled with resentment. He hated those unfilial bastards the most.
I thought to myself how filial I am; the other day when I went home, I bought my father a lot of tonics. Of course, the result was that I got a good scolding from him.
Saying it's a waste of money is ridiculous; you might as well buy some vegetables and meat.
"These two, Lao Tian and his wife, aren't from our village. Otherwise, they'd be drowned in spit." Old Ji said indignantly as he unscrewed the screws with his right hand.
"Mmm." Little Agui also felt that what was said made sense. He also disliked the couple his master was talking about; they were too hateful.
Meanwhile, after arriving at the town hospital, Yu Dawei coincidentally ran into Shi Tou again at the hospital entrance. He had given Shi Tou a pack of cigarettes before leaving, and now Shi Tou was standing at the entrance smoking them.
"Master Yu? What a coincidence that we've run into each other twice this morning." Shi Tou really didn't expect that Yu Dawei would care so much about the Tian couple.
"Oh right, Master Yu, come over here." Shi Tou suddenly remembered something and pulled Yu Dawei to the low wall outside the gate. "Those two are really no good. They made me take a dead body to the town clinic! Are they crazy?! They didn't even bury the dead properly, they just took him to the town hospital!"
"Also, on the way, I heard them whispering about things like framing someone and extorting money. Although I couldn't hear clearly, it was definitely not good stuff."
"I'm not far from them. They're deliberately lowering their voices so I can't hear them very clearly, but be careful not to get bitten by those two mad dogs," Shi Tou warned Yu Dawei.
He was genuinely worried that Master Yu would be extorted by these two scoundrels, after all, Master Yu owned a large repair shop in the town and must have some money to his name.
Yu Dawei, however, frowned in thought, his expression turning somewhat gloomy.
The Tian family and his family lived at opposite ends of the village, one at the west end and the other at the east end. They had always lived in peace, and his grandfather had always had a good reputation and wasn't the type to make enemies.
Yu Dawei wasn't worried that the Tian couple could actually extort money from him, but he couldn't help feeling anxious.
I have a feeling something bad is going to happen in the village.
"Do you know which doctor they asked to see after they went in?" Yu Dawei's intuition told him that the Tian couple must have relatives or friends in the town hospital.
"There really was. When the two of them got to the door, they asked the old man at the door if they were looking for a doctor surnamed Liu." Shi Tou thought back carefully. He hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but he remembered it when Yu Dawei asked him.
Yu Dawei narrowed his eyes. A possibility, though not very likely, surfaced in his mind: if the other party really did that, they would be close to death.
“Hey Stone, do me a favor. Keep an eye on this couple on your way back. If anything unexpected happens, just come to Fanfan’s Repair Shop and tell a guy named Yao Jinfu what you saw.” Yu Dawei said seriously, then handed the other man a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. “I’m going to see a friend later. After all, we live in the same village. Although this couple doesn’t usually interact with my family, I’m just afraid one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch.”
"Don't worry, leave it to Master Yu!" Shi Tou was still bothered by the incident of the dead man being pulled, but after getting a pack of cigarettes and being able to deal with that disgusting couple, he felt much better.
