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

Chapter 320 The Difficulty Xu Huang Encounters

Hou Wanshan looked down on his sister-in-law, so even though their families lived in the same village, he preferred to stay in his old house rather than go to his sister-in-law's house for a meal or to spend some time there.

"I understand." Hou Wanqiang didn't explain anything, and just continued drinking alone.

What's the point of explaining that he and Dong Mingzhu are just drinking buddies and complaining about their emotional scars?

Or you could explain that your sister-in-law is actually a very good person, it's just that she met someone as ambitious as you.

It seems he's explained this to his third brother many times.

Why is Hou Wanqiang so conflicted about his marriage with his wife, wavering between breaking it off and staying together?

If there are no feelings involved, then that's definitely not right.

When he was at his poorest and most destitute, the girl he loved married him against her family's wishes.

She's definitely a master at managing daily life; there's nothing she can't do in the countryside, from tending the garden to tending the land.

But when I brought her to the city, she just couldn't adapt. Every day we were either arguing or on our way to argue.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to build a better house in the village so that his wife could return to live there.

Unfortunately, the two people whose lives took different paths drifted further and further apart.

He's thirty-six years old this year, long past the age when he values ​​beauty the most like a young man. Whether a couple can work together harmoniously is more important than how pretty they are.

"Sigh..." Hou Wanqiang's mind was in a mess, and he started frantically chugging alcohol into his mouth again.

On one side is their career, and on the other is their lover and marriage.

It seems we're approaching a point where we have to choose between the two.

"Clink." Hou Wanshan clinked his cup with his second brother's. "That's why I told you before, don't get married easily. People are fickle, and women are even more so. When you're poor, she treats you one way, and when you're rich, she treats you another way."

"But when you become so rich that she can't control you... hehe."

The third uncle didn't say the rest, and the two brothers drank a glass of baijiu.

Yu Dawei slept in the same bed with his third uncle at night.

There was nothing I could do; I had actually taken over the room where my third uncle was staying temporarily. Besides, my third uncle seemed to have drunk quite a bit tonight, and he was still a little tipsy. He wanted to chat with Yu Dawei for a while.

Actually, most of the conversations revolved around the people and events that my third uncle had encountered over the years. Through one story after another, he talked about how the pendulum of human nature played a role in people's choices.

In his final remarks, the third uncle spoke of his second brother: "Dawei, just you wait and see. Based on my understanding of your second uncle, he'll dump his wife sooner or later. The reason he hasn't done so yet is probably because it's not quite right yet, or maybe she hasn't crossed his bottom line."

"His ambition won't allow him to stay in this mediocre position. And that woman named Dong Mingzhu, after hearing what you said, she's not a kind person either. She even invited the two of you to go out for drinks. Her ambition is not much smaller than your second uncle's."

"Trust me, those two won't be together for long. I reckon they'll even be able to have a baby in a few years..."

My third uncle's voice gradually softened as he spoke, and in the end, he only whimpered twice before falling asleep completely.

What he didn't know was that Yu Dawei fell asleep even faster than him. Long before his third uncle started talking about Hou Wanqiang, the brat Yu Dawei had already secretly fallen asleep.

Yu Dawei has a habit of feeling sleepy after drinking alcohol.

At this moment, in a hospital in the oil city, Wang San was writing and drawing in his notebook, with two thin men beside him, both of whom were his capable assistants.

My cousin's younger brother has been helping him look up a lot of useful information these past two days, all of which are people closely related to Yu Dawei.

This includes his wife, his children, his factory in Luhe Town, and the several cars he owns.

However, what he valued most was the road roller that the other party had brought to the oil city.

The matter of bringing disaster upon his family was not something Wang San didn't want to deal with, but rather something he dared not touch.

After all, who doesn't have a wife and kids?

But when it comes to business, it all comes down to who has the more ruthless methods.

“We can make use of Tang Chenwu, and also that Sun Shunli. You two should get in touch with him.” Wang San leaned back against the pillow and thought for a moment. “Try to build good relationships with these two and let them feel our goodwill.”

"Understood." The two underlings beside him nodded.

"I'll talk to Zhou, the logistics guy, in the next couple of days and have you guys moved to Tang Chenwu's dorm. And the other brothers on the construction site, try to move them to the dorm next to theirs." Wang San slowly closed his eyes. "Ma Gua, you're the road roller driver, so you'll mainly be in charge of contacting those two people from now on. That way, it won't seem abrupt."

A squinty-eyed man next to him nodded, grinning to reveal two rows of yellow teeth: "Don't worry, Third Master, this matter will definitely be handled clearly and without leaving a trace."

"Okay. Go ahead, go back and rest early." Wang San finished speaking and then heard someone open the door.

He turned his head and saw a man wearing a black leather jacket and a thong walk in.

"Brother, I heard you got bullied. Tell me about it." The man was over 1.7 meters tall, with a well-proportioned build, and appeared particularly composed when sitting next to Wang San. "Rat, you finally came! If you hadn't come, your brother would have been bullied to death!" Upon seeing the man, Wang San could no longer hold back and buried his face in his arms, bursting into tears.

Wang San? He and Zhou Hao were sworn brothers since childhood. Back then, Zhou Hao's family was poor, and Ma San would secretly buy him delicious food. You could say he always treated Zhou Hao like his own younger brother.

Ma San was the only son in his family, and Zhou Hao had been devoted to him for many years, entrusting him with many responsibilities.

After listening quietly to Ma San's story, Zhou Hao nodded and said, "Brother Ma, you did the right thing. The other party isn't some kind of Kalami, so dealing with him behind his back was the wisest course of action."

"Did you call me over here so I could help you continue dealing with him?"

“No, no, brother. I asked you to come here not just for revenge, but also to keep an eye on the people at the construction site for me. I’ll replace you when my leg heals.” Wang San explained quietly, “The sand and gravel area can’t function without someone.”

“I understand.” Zhou Hao nodded.

Brother Ma is both a car maintenance business owner and a supplier of sand and gravel. He is also the person who pushed Brother Ma to the forefront and made decisions for him.

However, Zhou Hao always felt that this cousin was unreliable, but since he was Brother Ma's cousin after all, he didn't say anything.

"Brother, I'll go to the site tomorrow to keep an eye on things for you. Don't worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong with the sand and gravel." Zhou Hao patted Ma San on the shoulder. "I'll also keep an eye on those trucks at the construction site for you."

Although Ma San is several years older than Zhou Hao, in daily life, Zhou Hao's maturity and composure make him seem more like an older brother.

"Yes, I'm relieved to have you here. But I still have to remind you, that Supervisor Xu Huang isn't from our side, so be careful not to let them find out anything." Ma San added, "My cousin has a lot of informants at the construction site, I'll tell you who they are in a bit."

In the dead of night, some people are fast asleep, while others are plotting against someone.

Outside a dormitory of the Harbin-Oil Expressway project team, Sun Shunli was squatting at the iron door, holding a book and reading by the bright moonlight.

He only recently learned to read all the characters. When he was a child, his family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to send him to elementary school.

His parents had three children. After his father died unexpectedly, his younger brother and sister also starved to death.

During the year of the severe drought, if he hadn't been in good health and able to withstand it, he probably would have been finished.

Therefore, reading is actually a rather luxurious thing for Sun Shunli.

The moonlight in Northeast China hangs high overhead every night, very bright, like a gentle white lamp. Some words may require Sun Shunli to slowly decipher before he can see them clearly, but he is very glad that at least the moon is not covered by dark clouds.

Actually, there were lights in the dormitory. When Sun Shunli first arrived, he used the dormitory's incandescent light to read, and everyone just made a few sarcastic remarks.

But as time went on, it disturbed other people's rest, so he started to make blunt sarcastic remarks, which made Tang Chenwu unhappy and he disliked Lao Sun more and more.

They even took the lead in turning off the lights, preventing him from continuing to read.

Sun Shunli wasn't angry. He simply took the three old books he had gotten from Boss Duan and studied them silently under the moonlight.

He didn't think too much about it; he just wanted to prove to Boss Yu that he was useful and that he could stay.

"Hmm?" Just as Sun Shunli was immersed in the complex explanations in the book, a layer of dark clouds suddenly covered the sky, and the moon had disappeared into the clouds.

Sun Shunli looked at the dark night with some disappointment and murmured softly, "It seems this is all I can see tonight."

He got up, quietly opened the door, tiptoed onto the bed, and slipped under the covers. Then, he began to use his left hand as the base and his right hand as a pen, constantly writing and drawing in his palm.

These were all things he had written down in his notebook during the day, after asking Xiao Tang questions.

He simply felt that it was better to keep some things in your mind than to write them down in a notebook.

The next day, Yu Dawei arrived at the construction site on time, instructing Tang Chenwu while searching for Xu Huang's whereabouts.

This guy drives around to different construction sites every day, stopping to check on the progress of the work.

As for Sun Shunli, who was silently squatting and learning on the side of the road roller, Yu Dawei completely ignored him.

At first, seeing how seriously the other party was studying, Yu Dawei intended to give him some guidance, but when it came to intelligence, this guy simply couldn't compare to Xiao Tang.

It's truly hopeless; there's no point in trying to carve out a piece of rotten wood. Thinking about it, Yu Dawei won't bother.

"Old Xu!" Yu Dawei's eyes lit up as he stood on the road roller, and he waved to the people who got out of a black Volkswagen. "Stop for a moment, you two get to work first, call me if you need anything."

After Yu Dawei finished speaking, he jumped off the road roller in two steps and ran enthusiastically to Xu Huang.

"What... are you doing?" Seeing Yu Dawei's enthusiasm, Xu Huang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, his brows furrowed, and he even considered turning around and driving away.

There's no other reason than that this guy came running over like a bear, his momentum was truly terrifying.

Xu Huang was, after all, a refined man, and he was afraid of being retaliated against on the spot.
