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

Chapter 278 Rescue of a Rollover Truck in the Wilderness
"Mom, keep this money. This is the three thousand yuan you lent us when we bought the house. The remaining three thousand is interest." Yu Dawei insisted on stuffing the money into his mother-in-law's pocket.

"This, this is too much! No, no, you two don't earn money easily. Even if you have money, you can't be so extravagant!" Old Mrs. Han's stubbornness kicked in, and she refused to accept the extra three thousand yuan.

In the end, as expected, Grandma Han only took the three thousand yuan that belonged to her and gave the remaining three thousand yuan to her daughter.

Giving it to their daughter is essentially giving it to Xiao Fan's family.

Although Grandma Han didn't take the money, she was overjoyed and kept praising Dawei while holding his hand.

"Son, to be honest, I wasn't very optimistic about you at first, but I never expected you to change so much in the last two years."

"Xiao Fan is so lucky to have you. It's the best thing that she's ever done in her life. As her mother..."

As she spoke, Grandma Han covered her mouth, for no one knew better than her what kind of life Xiao Fan had gone through.

Several times when she stood by the well, Grandma Han would lean against the door, afraid that the child would jump in.

Xiao Fan was initially unwilling to marry Yu Dawei because Yu Dawei's lazy attitude made her, as his mother-in-law, feel no goodwill towards him.

But she knew her own daughter's capabilities; if she could marry a good man, she wouldn't have chosen Yu Dawei.

At that time, Yu Dawei held such a position in her mother-in-law's heart.

She even had a premonition that Xiao Fan and her husband would have to borrow money everywhere to make ends meet. She had thought that after getting married, she would help them out a little and that they would be able to get by.

As for the three thousand yuan in his pocket, he never expected Yu Dawei to return it to him; it was purely an act of him putting money into it himself.

But now, looking at Yu Dawei, he's lost his laziness and is much more restrained in his words and actions, far superior to his eldest son-in-law.

Even without a formal position, so what? We still managed to get by, albeit in a miserable state.

This is good, this is really good!
Yu Dawei, of course, had no idea what his mother-in-law was thinking. He and his wife comforted her, and finally managed to appease the old lady before the three of them drove away.

Little did Yu Dawei and his wife know that after they left, the house erupted in chaos as everyone discussed their affair.

First, she ate at the same table as Yu Dawei and asked her brother-in-law Liu Liguo if the matter of Yu Dawei's repair shop was true.

After all, not everyone here believes it; most are only half-believing and half-doubting.

But judging from what Yu Dawei just said, this is clearly not a lie.

Han Yanyan was also eavesdropping intently at the kang table. She had just mocked Yu Dawei in front of Bi Yunjie.

They said the other person was just a country bumpkin who couldn't do repairs and was only good at paying money, but he turned out to be the owner of a famous repair shop in town!

The difference between then and now is truly unbelievable.

"He's already admitted it himself, why are you still asking me?" Brother-in-law Liu Liguo was also feeling a bit boastful, especially after thinking about how Bi Yunjie had stolen the spotlight at the dinner table and made everyone feel incredibly awkward. He wanted to teach him what real boasting was all about!
You have to blow in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable!
Liu Liguo pointed with his chopsticks towards his own apartment, 212, at the door: "I took my brother-in-law to his repair shop to get my car fixed a while ago. The heater broke down before, and my brother-in-law didn't have time to fix it for me, so the mechanic at his shop fixed it for me."

"I heard that the repairman surnamed Ji used to work at the Eighth Bureau branch in the oil city; he was even a team leader. My brother-in-law poached him with a high salary to repair cars in our town." Liu Liguo gave everyone a chance to brag, "Tell me, how could this repair shop not be amazing?"

"Wow! Your brother-in-law managed to poach such a talented person! That's really impressive!"

"I knew Fanfan Repair Shop dared to put its sign up in the nearby machinery rental market; they really have some skills."

"You can tell they're professionals just by looking at them."

Bi Yunjie was utterly ashamed. It turned out that everyone at the table knew what Fanfan Repair Shop was all about, except for him. He had been showing off and bragging like an idiot.

“Bi Yunjie, don’t think that honest people are easy to bully.” Sun Shunli sat down in the seat that Yu Dawei had been in at some point, holding a plastic wine glass in his hand. He took a big gulp and, while Liu Liguo was boasting, he spoke again in a cold tone: “I advise you to stop secretly seeing Han Yanyan, because you can’t afford the consequences.”

After saying this, Sun Shunli stood up with a simple and honest expression and toasted everyone, saying, "I've finished eating, you guys continue eating."

After greeting Sun Shunli, everyone continued to focus on the matter of Yu Dawei Repair Shop.

Only Bi Yunjie felt a sudden chill in his body just now, because Sun Shunli knew about his relationship with Han Yanyan.

He knew, he actually knew!
But then Bi Yunjie thought again, even if he knew, what could he do? He had done what he should and shouldn't have done, and what evidence could Sun Shunli possibly have?
I've always lived in the city.

Bi Yunjie sat alone on the stool, pouring himself a drink. He was now the laughingstock of the whole room, so whatever. He didn't care anymore.

Once he leaves this village, Bi Yunjie will be a hero again.

"This is the man you found." The aunt sat next to her eldest daughter, while her second son and daughter, who were still young, sat at the children's table.

It's a good thing the whole family didn't do it together, otherwise everyone would have turned their eyes to us, and we would have been laughed at!
"Mom, stop talking." Mi Yao lowered her head and drank the half-full glass of liquor in one gulp.

There are some things that even my parents don't know.

She must have been blind to choose such a man. He claimed to work in a legitimate, government-affiliated organization and be a junior manager, even driving her around in his car.

The job is fake, and the car is fake too, just like that Xiali parked outside.

Even the leather suit he was wearing was fake.

It was just to satisfy her vanity, and the reason she didn't stop her was because she was afraid her parents would see that she wasn't doing well.

In the years since they got married, he has been indulging in a life of pleasure outside, while she has been working hard at the hospital to earn money.

Fortunately, the other party never gambles, so I can still save some money even if I'm short on cash.

She had been trying to correct Bi Yunjie's bad behavior, but how easy is it to change someone's lazy nature?

When Mom told me that Xiaofan had also found a husband like that, she was sad for Xiaofan for many days. She wondered what sins the two sisters had committed in their past lives to encounter such people.

But looking back today, it seems like I'm the only one who committed sins in my past life, and the only one who feels so helpless and lost.

"Drink less. When you have holidays, go stay at Xiaofan's house more often and learn from her. See how she brought Yu Dawei back to a good life." The aunt spoke softly, her tone full of concern for her daughter.

No mother would want to see her daughter marry such a jerk!

He was so angry he wanted to tear him apart.

"Hmm." Mi Yao nodded her little head blankly. "Mom, you're not lying to me, are you? Was my brother-in-law really that unreliable before? I can't tell at all when we meet today."

"Can you tell that Xiaofan is so well-mannered and knowledgeable now? I've been a matchmaker for so many years, and I've told you this before." The aunt picked up her wine glass and sighed, "Husbands and wives are blessed if they help each other up; if they don't support each other, they can't live together."

When Mi Yao heard her mother say those words again after many years, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings—regret, guilt, sadness, and disappointment…

She chose this path herself; her parents practically forced her to give it up at knifepoint. She has no choice but to accept the outcome today.

----

On the way, Yu Dawei inquired about his apprentice's accident. It's not surprising that a large truck overturns. The weather was cold and the road was slippery. If it were on a plain, it would be fine, but if it was going around a mountain, one's life would most likely be in danger.

After listening to his apprentice's explanation, Yu Dawei felt relatively confident about the large trailer truck rescue.

The other party was towing a Caterpillar E200B excavator. The trailer overturned, and the excavator also overturned on its side. The owner of the trailer truck not only found them, but is also contacting a crane.

Yu Dawei needed to repair an overturned trailer. After the trailer overturned, the rear axle couldn't bear the weight and somehow cracked. The crack was quite large. He had consulted several mechanics in the vicinity, but none of them dared to touch it because they were afraid that if it wasn't welded properly, it would cause a second overturn, which could be fatal.

"To encounter something like this during the Chinese New Year, I wonder how upset and anxious that boss must be," Han Jingfan said with some emotion as she sat in the passenger seat, her right hand resting on the driver's side door.

“The boss should be alright. The one who’s really upset is the truck driver. He not only has to repair the truck, but also check if there’s anything wrong with the Caterpillar excavator.” Yu Dawei held the steering wheel with his left hand and placed his right hand on the gear shift, analyzing the situation rationally. “I think the reason he’s looking for me is twofold: firstly, the rear axle is cracked, and secondly, the excavator owner is unwilling to accept this and wants to find a more skilled mechanic to help with the repairs.”

"You're so shameless." Han Jingfan smiled and gave her husband a gentle, sidelong glance.

"So this is thick-skinned? I think I'm nowhere near as thick-skinned as Mi Yao's husband." Yu Dawei couldn't help but laugh when he thought of that guy, especially when he learned that Yu Dawei was the owner of Fanfan Repair Shop. The guy's complicated expression when he wanted to explain but didn't know how was hilarious.

“However, Mi Yao’s husband is indeed a bit unreliable. What was your sister Yao Yao’s taste in back then? How could she have chosen such a man?” Yu Dawei expressed his incomprehension. Although Mi Yao was not tall and had an average figure, she was fortunate to have an 80-point baby face.

It's quite easy to find a good man in the village, and even if you go to the city, you're not necessarily going to have trouble finding a good partner.

"Who knows? Maybe I misjudged him." Han Jingfan glanced at Yu Dawei silently, then quickly looked out the car window.
