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

Chapter 359 Unexpected News While the Car is Being Repaired

As the afternoon approached, the rain had lessened considerably, changing from a light drizzle to a gentle, intermittent shower.

Yu Dawei had already started repairing the Caterpillar excavator. Liu Changyu and his group probably realized they wouldn't gain anything, and given Wang Zhuo's overbearing demeanor, they no longer intended to confront him directly.

Wu Peng also left with his men in the morning, and was driven away by Liu Changyu and others. After all, they were picked up by car, and it would be too embarrassing to make them walk back on their own.

Liu Changyu really hated Wu Peng, that stupid mechanic, so much that his teeth itched. If it weren't for Wu Peng's accidental instigation, Wang Zhuo wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand.

Although the matter seems to have come to an end, the atmosphere remains unsettled and turbulent. No one knows how Vice President Liu will stir up trouble in the factory in the future. This is why Wang Zhuo is still uneasy and worried even after the other party and his group have left.

But none of this had anything to do with Yu Dawei; repairing cars was what he was supposed to be doing.

This Caterpillar excavator is indeed one of the more difficult ones to fix.

The engine is fine, the hydraulic system is working perfectly, and there are no problems with the vehicle's movement. However, after starting the vehicle, I can work for the first ten minutes or so, but after that, I feel like a deflated balloon and can't do anything.

As if possessed by a true man for three seconds, Yu Dawei, sitting in the driver's seat, frowned.

No wonder when he arrived, Wu Peng had two apprentices climb up to check if there were any differences between the engine and the parts assembly. Even Yu Dawei suspected that the problem with this excavator wasn't with individual parts, but rather that there was something seriously wrong with the parts assembly during coordination.

Yu Dawei continued to start the vehicle, without intending to turn off the key. He picked up the blade-type wrench with his right hand and climbed directly from the tracks to the top of the excavator, where he was also observing the various components around the engine.

"Something's not right. It's impossible for none of them to be working. There must be a problem with one system that has affected the others," Yu Dawei muttered to himself. He then turned around, jumped out of the vehicle, and began operating the excavator in the cab again.

After a full twenty minutes, he finally made up his mind. His upper and lower arms were even weaker than at the beginning, as if he had muscle weakness. Later on, he seemed to be able to walk better.

This indicates a significant problem with the hydraulic system.

After understanding the general situation, Yu Dawei removed the key, prepared to let it cool down, and then disassembled the excavator's large pump to take a look.

"Boss Yu, how is it? Can you figure out what the problem is?" Wang Zhuo was anxiously waiting in the still unfinished factory office. When he saw Yu Dawei return from outside, he turned around and took out a patterned towel from the iron cabinet next to him and handed it over.

"It's currently pinpointed to the hydraulic system. I'll take apart the main pump and check it once the excavator has cooled down a bit." Yu Dawei wasn't sure if the main pump was the problem, but his general maintenance principle was that if there was more than a 60% chance, he would take it apart and check.

Looking at this Caterpillar excavator today, it's a Caterpillar 312B. Considering my previous experience repairing vehicles, there's an 80% chance that the problem lies with the main pump.

In the past, Yu Dawei might have boasted about how he judged and determined that the problem was with the large pump, as if the bosses and masters thought more highly of him.

But nowadays, Yu Dawei, who prefers to get things done, has no interest in self-aggrandizement; he has transcended such low-level interests.

Yu Dawei wiped his hair with a towel, glanced at the little boy in the seat next to him who was secretly winking at him, and warned him with a sneer: "You dare to wink at me? I'll have your mom make you write ten more words as punishment later."

The little boy turned pale with fright upon hearing this, lowered his head, and dared not make any more facial expressions at Yu Dawei. He was even more indignant at Yu Dawei's treacherous behavior.

"Mr. Yu, what would you like to eat for lunch? I'll drive to a restaurant and make a reservation in a bit. The new factory is quite far from the city, so it's not very convenient to find a place to eat here," Wang Zhuo explained briefly.

The roads were slippery from the rain, and driving back and forth was exhausting, so Wang Zhuo thought he would help get some food.

"Just take a bite." Yu Dawei handed the towel back. "If this excavator really has a problem with the large pump, it will take me at least one or two days to disassemble and reassemble it myself. If it turns out to be a problem with the large pump this afternoon, I'll have to trouble you to arrange accommodation for me."

“That’s no problem. There’s a really nice hotel downstairs from my house. I’ll arrange for you to stay there,” Wang Zhuo said.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and when Dawei went out again, the rain had stopped. Although the weather was still gloomy, it was a good time to dismantle the large pump.

Not long after, the little boy seemed to have finished his homework and came out to chat with Yu Dawei.

Yu Dawei didn't care this time. He'd disassembled hundreds, if not thousands, of large pumps in his past life. He could find the screws with his eyes closed, so he naturally didn't mind chatting with the little guy for a bit. However, it was usually the little boy who was rambling on and on, like a little chatterbox, with endless things to say.

Wang Zhuo seemed to have finished his work in the office. Since there was still some time before noon, he came out for some fresh air and thought he might try to get closer to Yu Dawei.

She had personally witnessed how highly Liu Changyu's master chef spoke of Boss Yu when he saw him. Wang Zhuo naturally had to treat someone who was trusted by his peers with great respect.

Although their family's factory sells laundry detergent, no one knows if they will have any further dealings in the future, just like this time.

"Mr. Yu, how many siblings do you have?" Wang Zhuo handed Yu Dawei a bottle of mineral water and asked in a gentle tone.

“Five. I’m the eldest. The youngest in our family is in high school in the county.” Yu Dawei thought of the loud and boisterous Yu Fang. He’d buy her something and send it over after he finished fixing the car.

This little glutton is so focused on getting into university that he doesn't even go home on weekends; he just stays at school to study.

Yu Dawei wasn't sure if she was just as hardworking in her past life, since he hadn't paid much attention to his younger siblings in his previous life, but he truly admired his little sister's tenacity in this life.

"When will the crane arrive?" Yu Dawei jumped off the side of the excavator and glanced at Wang Zhuo.

Now that all the screws on the outside of the large pump have been removed, we're just waiting to see when the crane from their Longmen laundry detergent factory will come over so we can put the large pump directly on the ground.

Only in this way can we proceed with the next step of disassembly.

"It'll be there in about ten minutes." Wang Zhuo smiled at Yu Dawei, seemingly remembering the previous topic, and said again, "It's good to have many brothers and sisters. If something happens, the younger brothers and sisters can help each other out. They may be young now, but when they grow up, get married, and have their own jobs, they will be a great help to each other."

Yu Dawei wholeheartedly agrees with this. In his previous life, he was dirt poor. When his eldest son got married, he couldn't even afford the bride price, let alone buy a house for his child.

Later, it was his younger siblings who stepped in to help. Some contributed 50,000 yuan, and some contributed 100,000 yuan. In the end, they not only helped with the wedding and the down payment on the house, but also covered the money for the bride's formal address.

Although the money was borrowed, at least someone can lend you money when you're in trouble. If Yu Dawei were the only one in the family, his two sons would probably both be bachelors. Who would lend Yu Dawei money to help his sons get married?

After all, Yu Dawei was already considered a deadbeat at that time. When he was preparing for his eldest son's wedding, he still owed money to his younger siblings.

The reason why the siblings have such a strong bond is that Yu Dawei should be most grateful to his grandfather. Without his grandfather's guidance in educating the children, there would be no mutual support among the Yu family as a whole in the future.

Now that he has a second chance at life, Yu Dawei wants to repay all the debts he owed to his younger siblings and make up for his past regrets.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously recalled Da Feng's illness, shook his head, and sighed.

Wang Zhuo stood aside, seemingly noticing that Yu Dawei was preoccupied. Normally, she shouldn't have spoken up about someone's private matters, but she was trying to build a closer relationship.

So, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, he said, "Boss Yu, after this incident, I think we can be considered friends. If you need any help, just let me know."

"Don't think that just because my family is from Suishi, I went to school and worked in other places for a few years. So I have some friends both in and out of the province."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei's eyes lit up. He looked at Wang Zhuo with a thoughtful expression, and finally asked with a try-it-out attitude, "To be honest, my younger sister is not in good health. We were thinking of going to Kyoto to see a doctor, but we really don't have any connections. If you know anyone here, that would be great."

"Kyoto?" Wang Zhuo raised an eyebrow. "What illness does our younger sister have? Is it convenient for you to tell us?"

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it. It’s a brain tumor. I’ve had it since I was a child. It seems to be congenital.” Yu Dawei stood there for a moment and thought for a while. “My fourth uncle in our village is an old Chinese medicine doctor. When he examined my younger sister, he said that she had something in her brain and that she shouldn’t use her brain too much.”

"Is it a problem with your head..." Wang Zhuo's face scrunched up like a steamed bun. "I do have a high school classmate who's a doctor in Kyoto, but she studied gynecology..."

When Yu Dawei heard it was "gynecology," he immediately knew he had no chance. This specialty was completely irrelevant and didn't fit at all.
