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

Chapter 399 New and Old Grudges

After Yu Dawei finished making the phone call, he was just about to go back to sleep when he heard another knocking sound at the door.

He stood there speechlessly, gazing at the sky, thinking to himself, "So this barbershop isn't a place for people to sleep at night."

"Who is it?" Yu Dawei asked impatiently.

"I am Zhao Yi." The person outside the door spoke with a slightly trembling voice, as if he were enduring pain.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Dawei reached out and opened the door. He saw Zhao Yi with an injury on his right arm and holding a little girl of about five or six years old in his left arm.

The girl was wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt and matching shorts, and was fast asleep in Zhao Yi's arms with her eyes closed.

Beside Zhao Yi stood a woman. The woman's face was rather pale, perhaps because she had just woken up; her large eyes were bloodshot, and her expression still held an unresolved worry.

"What are you doing..." Yu Dawei turned to the side, first welcoming the person in, then closing the double doors, locking them from the inside, before turning and entering the house.

Yu Dawei remembered that when he first came to the barbershop, he saw a small first-aid kit while tidying up the bed. He rummaged through the corner and found the first-aid kit, which contained disinfectant, bandages, and pain relievers.

He moved very gently, afraid of disturbing the little girl's sleep.

"Dawei, Brother Yi, I need your help. My wife and child can stay here for the night. I'll bring them back tomorrow when I get back." Zhao Yi turned and handed the child to his wife, his eyes filled with guilt. "Listen to me, if I don't come back tomorrow, I'll have my second brother take you and the child back to your hometown."

"As long as you leave the train station safely, those guys from Yantian won't do anything to you."

The woman gripped Zhao Yi's arm tightly with her other hand, wanting to say something but afraid that the child would wake up and cry, so she forced herself to look at Zhao Yi.

Her eyes held blame, resentment, and worry... Ever since she brought her child to this wretched place, the couple had been arguing every day, and every night she was terrified that something would happen to Zhao Yi. Now that something had actually happened, she couldn't utter a single word.

"Brother Yizi, don't worry. I just called Brother Erdan, and he'll be here soon." Yu Dawei said, while tending to the other man's wound with gauze, as he briefly recounted what had just happened.

When Zhao Yi heard that a black Mercedes-Benz was approaching, he could no longer sit still. He shook off Yu Dawei's bandaged hand and rushed out of the house.

The reason was not explained, only a few drops of bright red blood were left on the ground.

"Sister-in-law, you and the child should go to bed first." Yu Dawei glanced back at Zhao Yi's wife and felt that she wasn't someone who could handle things well. Her expression was full of deep fatigue, so he didn't ask anything more.

After arranging for the mother and daughter, Yu Dawei turned around, took the crowbar, and lay down on the sofa. As for the door of the barbershop, he didn't lock it. He would have to open it again if Zhao Yi came back, and the same would happen when Erdan came over.

Even if someone breaks in, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to leave three or five people behind. Besides, the fact that Zhao Yi thought of leaving his wife and children here means that this place is still quite safe.

Otherwise, that group of people in the Mercedes might have already barged in.

Time flew by and it was three in the morning. Jiang Shang, dragging his tired body, suddenly opened the door and stepped in.

He plopped down in the first barber chair right next to the door, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and the smoke coming out of his nostrils finally relieved some of his fatigue.

"Brother Erdan." Yu Dawei heard someone come in and quickly got up. He didn't put the crowbar aside until he saw who it was.

"Hmm." Jiang Shang looked at Yu Dawei, who couldn't sleep well, and smiled bitterly with a cigarette in his mouth. "Sorry for causing so much trouble these past few days. Shenzhen is pretty much like this, some places are quieter, and some places are more lively."

“There are many opportunities here, but whether you can seize them is another matter.” Jiang Shang exhaled a puff of smoke. “How about I find you a hotel tomorrow? Although there is no danger here, being constantly disturbed will affect your rest.”

"No need, no need, it's fine here. I'm just used to it and don't want to move." After saying that, Yu Dawei got up and closed the door. The wind outside was a bit strong, and the warm air blowing in brought waves of humid heat, which was a little uncomfortable.

"Second Brother." A woman emerged from behind the curtain, staring anxiously at Jiang Shang, her hands clenching unconsciously. "How is my husband?"

"Sigh." Jiang Shang glanced at the woman, picked up his cigarette butt with his right hand, and sighed helplessly. "His life has been saved, and he's in the hospital receiving treatment. I saw Jin Song from Yantian. It was indeed your husband who broke the rules first, crippling the person who came to Yantian to seek refuge."

“That person was Jin Song’s younger brother. When I arrived, he was already lying on the ground.”

Jiang Shang looked up at the distraught woman and said, "Yi Zi instructed me to take you to the train station tomorrow so you can go back to your hometown to live."

“Jin Song is a vengeful person. To avoid his retaliation, I suggest you take the child and leave for me tomorrow morning.” Jiang Shang said, taking out his briefcase and pulling out a bankbook from it, which he handed to the woman. “Sister-in-law, there is 200,000 yuan in here. It’s for buying an excavator, including those two abandoned Jiefang trucks.”

“Take this money back to your hometown and raise the child well. If you’re frugal these next few years, it should be enough. As for Yizi, I’ll take care of him, so don’t worry about him.” Jiang Shang stood up and comforted her again. “You can come back with the child when this matter is completely over.” “I’ll listen to you, Second Brother.” The woman didn’t object. Before she left, Zhao Yi had told her that if anything happened to him, she must take the child and listen to her Second Brother, and never make decisions on her own.

Jiang Shang then gave the woman a few more instructions before leaving with Yu Dawei, instructing her to lock the door of the barbershop.

He then took Yu Dawei to stay overnight at the hotel across the street.

The two of them asked for two beds in one room, but perhaps because Jiang Shang had something on his mind, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, I tentatively asked Yu Dawei if he was asleep.

"It's in the works," Yu Dawei replied casually.

"Regarding the parts supply chain, I've inquired with a few people these past few days. One of them, a Mr. Ye, agreed to meet with you sometime in a few days. I'll take you to talk to him whenever he's available," Jiang Shang said.

"No problem, once my car is fixed, I'll be all set." Yu Dawei was quite grateful to Jiang Erdan, who, despite having his own troubles, still remembered to help him inquire.

"Hmm." Jiang Shang lay on the bed, seemingly thinking of something again. "Let's put aside your repair costs for now. With me here, you definitely won't be shortchanged."

“I understand,” Yu Dawei replied.

"Actually, Zhao Yi is a pretty good person. He's responsible and has a strong sense of duty. You know that people from Northeast China aren't good at teamwork, but he still has a certain quality that can bring people together."

Jiang Shang paused for a moment, then continued, "Unfortunately, he was too impatient and couldn't stand being taken advantage of. There shouldn't have been anything wrong tonight, but he completely lost his temper because of a few words from the other party."

"Brother Erdan, what will happen to the rest of the construction workers if Brother Yizi falls down?" Yu Dawei asked, somewhat curious.

"Let Claws take the lead for now. Someone has to keep things in check, otherwise those guys from Yantian will definitely escalate their actions." Jiang Shang put his hands behind his head, looking somewhat melancholy. "So do you know, Dawei, just how precious the ordinary is in Shenzhen?"

After Jiang Shang finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, recalling the scene of being humiliated by Yantian's gang when he chased after Zhao Yi that night.

While the verbal insults were nothing, Jiang Shang couldn't say what he was really thinking deep down.

His biggest thought right now is to give his wife a proper wedding. Everything else is secondary; this is the only thing he must keep his promise to.

The next day, Yu Dawei didn't wake up from the hotel until after eight o'clock. There was a breakfast on his bedside table, but Erdan had already left, probably to take the mother and daughter to the train station.

After having breakfast, Yu Dawei prepared to continue to inquire about information at various auto parts markets, especially about the Boss Ye that Erdan had mentioned. He wanted to learn about the other party's reputation in the auto parts market before meeting him.

Having gathered enough information, Yu Dawei passed by a department store and wondered if he should pick out some clothes for his wife and also clothes for Yu Muyu's child.

The clothing in Shenzhen is at the forefront of fashion in China. Even if you don't buy anything, you can still go in and check it out.

There were many cars outside the mall, all colors including blue, black, and red. Yu Dawei glanced around at the crowded entrance and then turned around and squeezed in through the main entrance.

Just before going inside, Yu Dawei looked up at the sign at the top of the department store: J&R Group.

"Jierun, Jierun..." These two words filled Yu Dawei's mind as he walked in. If he wasn't mistaken, this must be the place opened by Jiang Erdan's father-in-law.

Unfortunately, Erdan is still in the dark. After the wedding, his father-in-law's true colors will be revealed to him, provided he can seize the opportunity.

With that thought in mind, Yu Dawei wandered from the first floor to the fourth floor, and then back to the first floor.

Overall, everything here is good, but it's just too expensive, ridiculously expensive, more expensive than anything he'd seen in Kyoto department stores.

After much deliberation, Yu Dawei finally gave up the idea of ​​buying anything. He didn't have much money left after Dafeng's surgery, and he still had several cars in the factory. He couldn't let his cash flow be cut off in case he needed money for anything.

"Sigh, let's talk about it later. We'll come back here when we get the repair money." Yu Dawei turned around and prepared to leave the department store.

However, as he walked out the door, he secretly glanced behind him.

He realized that someone had been following him.
