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

Chapter 227 Boss Liang's Excitement

Yu Dawei drove away, intending to go find Boss Liang first. He had heard Boss Liang mention him when they were drinking earlier, and he was Boss Liang's junior high school classmate, who was also the director of the town's health center.

Yu Dawei planned to use his connections at the health center to put pressure on the doctor surnamed Liu and find out what the Tian couple had done.

To Yu Dawei's surprise, Boss Liang's shop was closed again. He knew without a doubt that the other party must be with Brother Duan.

When I drove over, Boss Liang was indeed eating and drinking at Duan Dahai's place.

Boss Liang has been having a really tough time lately. He doesn't dare go home now. His wife seems to be taking revenge. As soon as they meet, she strips him naked without saying a word, and then... sigh...

Mr. Liang sat on a small stool, holding a rice bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right, and sighed forlornly.

These past few days, to avoid being caught by his wife, he could only choose to endure things at Lao Duan's place in order to seek a moment of peace.

"Why are you two always together? It feels like you spend more time with each other than with your two wives." When Yu Dawei came in, he found the two of them eating breakfast. He took a set of bowls and chopsticks from the dish rack and sat down around the stove.

The grate had been removed, and a medium-sized iron pot sat on the stove, containing stewed cabbage and frozen tofu, along with some completely shredded potato strips.

Just one glance was enough for Yu Dawei to tell that this was definitely leftovers from the two of them last night.

"Hehe, don't be like that. I didn't hang out with this old guy. He's the one who insisted on coming here to find some peace and quiet. If I hadn't felt sorry for him, I wouldn't have taken him in." Duan Dahai took a bite of his steamed bun and gave Boss Liang a mocking smile.

"What's going on? Have you really become homeless after just a few days?" Yu Dawei picked up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. To be honest, it tasted quite good.

This must have been made by Brother Duan. He makes some famous dishes, like sweet and sour pork and sauerkraut stew with vermicelli, but he makes delicious dishes that are affordable for poor people.

"Sigh, ever since I went home for dumplings on the Winter Solstice, I haven't dared to go back." Boss Liang looked at Yu Dawei with a pitiful expression. "Your sister-in-law is definitely getting revenge on me, she's getting revenge on me! That wretched woman, she's completely emptied my savings and everything I have, boohoo..."

Yu Dawei was speechless, and symbolically reached out to pat him on the shoulder to express his sympathy.

"By the way, Dawei, what did our Fourth Uncle say when you returned to the village?" Boss Liang looked up at Yu Dawei with some anticipation in his eyes.

"Let's not talk about Fourth Uncle's matter for now. How's my matter going?" Yu Dawei asked, inquiring about the issue he was concerned about.

“It was all taken care of a few days ago. The tools are already in my shop, and you can pick them up anytime.” Boss Liang put down his chopsticks and bowl. “The driving school matter is also settled. The guy before was unreliable, so I went directly to the owner of the driving school in our county. He finally set the price at 1,100 per person, but the number of people has to be as we said. Otherwise, the price will never be lower than 1,300 on weekdays.”

1,100 yuan is a reasonable amount; it's not a high price for a county town. I estimate that the price in other places would be around 1,500 yuan.

"Are you still going?" Yu Dawei asked again.

"Just give them the money, and leave the rest to them." After saying that, Boss Liang picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip of water.

“Dawei, I think this price is acceptable. I plan to sign my wife up too. I’ll sign up as well.” Duan Dahai looked at Yu Dawei.

"Okay, add me, my wife, then Yao Jinfu and Lao Ji. I need to go back and ask again." Yu Dawei felt it was a bit hot in the room, so he unzipped his down jacket.

"Even if they don't sign up, it's fine. Since he can offer a base price of 1,100, the final price won't be much different." Boss Liang is very insightful about bargaining. After all, he is a shop owner and understands some of the psychology behind people's asking prices.

"Not bad, Brother Liang is still the same reliable Brother Liang. He hasn't let having a virtuous wife ruin his life." Yu Dawei smiled mischievously.

"Making fun of me again? I can't live like this anymore." Boss Liang got up and sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), indicating that he was very tired and upset.

"Well, given how reliable Boss Liang has been lately, I'll give you this folk remedy on behalf of Fourth Uncle." Yu Dawei didn't get up, continuing to eat and drink as usual, but he took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket with his left hand.

Moreover, the paper was used very casually; it was torn from an empty elementary school notebook with grid paper, and then Uncle Yu Huai wrote a few lines on the back of the paper in a sloppy manner with a fountain pen.

For Uncle Yu Huai, as long as he lived, he could write this folk remedy a thousand or eight hundred times; he truly didn't cherish such things at all.

Yu Dawei, however, was unaware of the effectiveness of the folk remedy developed by the Fourth Master, so he took it lightly.

He planned to let Boss Liang try it first, and if it worked well, he would naturally want to try it himself.

After all, even if a man has a lot of assets, who would complain about being born with an inexhaustible fortune?

"My God, there really is a folk remedy! Thank you, my fourth uncle! He's a lifesaver!" Boss Liang's aggrieved expression vanished instantly.

He got up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and ran quickly to Yu Dawei. He stretched out his hands to take the paper, but then he paused, thought for a moment, wiped his hands on his clothes, and carefully took the almost translucent paper with both hands. He felt as if he had obtained an incredible treasure.

Yu Dawei and Duan Dahai both got goosebumps watching this.

"It can't be that bad, bro." Duan Dahai couldn't stand how disgusting this guy was to them.

"What do you two know? This is my hope for regaining control of the situation." Boss Liang folded the thin piece of paper again and put it in the pocket of his inner clothes.

He had heard Yu Dawei mention before that Yu Huai, the fourth uncle of Yujiatun, was a renowned doctor. He had also heard of Yu Huai's reputation when he lived in Heshan Village.

He wasn't very familiar with the people in Yujiatun. When he and his wife had difficulty having a child, they thought about going to see Doctor Yu, but his wife took him to the city. After some treatment, they finally had their own child.

However, ever since giving birth, he has felt particularly powerless, and with his mother's shrewish nature gradually emerging, his life has entered its darkest period.

He knew that there were some mysterious little pills in the pharmacy, but many people said that these things were too harmful to the body, so he really didn't dare to use them.

I got my hands on the old man's folk remedy today, and I'm determined to go home and try it again.

The thought that he might actually be able to regain his former glory filled him with excitement, and he couldn't wait to go home right now.

"Uh, I suddenly remembered I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll be going now. You two can chat." Boss Liang prepared to go and get some medicine according to the prescription.

"Wait! You old codger, you think you can just leave after getting what you want?" Duan Dahai saw the other man about to leave, put down his chopsticks and hurriedly stopped him. After stopping him with righteous indignation, he suddenly smiled and said, "At least give me a copy of the folk remedy before you go."

Yu Dawei: "..."

As expected of you, Brother Duan.

"Hey, I can't just take things for free, Lao Liang. I have something I need your help with." Yu Dawei quickly put the last two pieces of frozen tofu in the pot into his mouth. "Don't you have an old classmate who's the director of the town's health center? Take me there later, I need his help with something."

Afterwards, Yu Dawei told Boss Liang and Brother Duan what he had seen that morning, and also told them his purpose.

Mr. Liang had a good relationship with the director of the health center, being an old classmate. Upon hearing this, he readily agreed and then got into Yu Dawei's Fiat to go to the town health center.

Brother Duan didn't have much work today, so he went along to join in the fun. Lately, he's become more and more skilled at using the excavator, and his job has become much easier since he got it.

There is a peak season before the end of the year, when every household will sell unwanted items in advance to make some money. Duan Dahai is always busy at the end of the year, but this year he is very confident in his excavator.

These days, I can finish my normal workload in half a day. In the afternoon, I can even take some time to have a couple of drinks and enjoy a cigarette.

However, since we just moved this year, it's not very convenient for some individual garbage collectors to find this place yet. But once people gradually accept this place after the beginning of next year, most of the garbage collectors in the village will pass by here, so there will be more work and business will be even better.

With the increasing workload in the past two years, waste recycling will definitely be easier to do in the future.

Duan Dahai's only regret was that no matter how much money he made in this line of work, he would always be looked down upon when he returned to the village. If he showed any signs of wealth, some people would look at him with envy.

Ultimately, it feels like an industry that's even worse than the lowest of the low.

That's probably how people are: once they're well-fed, clothed, and have money, they start to have newer pursuits.

The idea of ​​changing industries had been ingrained in Duan Dahai's mind for more than just a day or two.

"Old Shen isn't very funny, and he speaks in a rigid way. Don't be offended if you two chat with him later," Boss Liang explained on the way.

Ever since I met Lao Shen in junior high school, he has always been a bookworm. He was always more hardworking than anyone else in school, but his grades were only average to below average.

If it weren't for his powerful father, he might not have gotten the position of hospital director.

"It's just a simple question, there won't be much involvement." Yu Dawei knew that Boss Liang was a person who cared a lot about his reputation, especially after the last time he introduced Yu Shui's friend, he probably had a bit of a phobia about introducing friends.

"That's good, that's good." Boss Liang was really afraid that Old Shen would embarrass him again.
