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

Chapter 452 Eating? Should I come along?
"Give money? How much are you going to give?" Although Yu Dawei didn't intend to pull out a gun to scare them, he had no choice but to go with the flow now that things had come to this.

Let's get rid of these guys first.

"Give me money? They're clearly robbing me. They told me on the phone that it would be no less than 200,000 yuan, but when they found me, they realized I was the only one selling the car, so they said it was a piece of junk and worthless, and they were only willing to give me 20,000 yuan. They even insisted on dragging me to sign and put my fingerprints on the document!" The girl, already feeling wronged because someone was protecting her, blurted out everything when asked this question.

The bald man at the head of the group frowned and gave the girl hiding behind the boy a hostile look.

However, no matter what was said at the moment, an even harsher one came along, and he could only admit his mistake with a forced smile: "Twenty thousand yuan is indeed not fair, but the excavator she sold is up, but the boom and forearm can't be lifted at all. Both of these things must be broken, so I gave a low price."

"Heh, with this low price, you could sell iron for more than that." Yu Dawei glanced at the other party. "Since this girl doesn't want to sell the car to you, stop making trouble here."

"Alright, alright, we're off now." The bald man and his brothers took the opportunity to back down, but seemingly feeling that their pride had been trampled on, they mustered their courage and asked, "May I ask your name, brother? My name is Chen Long. As the saying goes, no fight, no friendship. Once we get to know each other, we're friends."

"I wouldn't dare. Who knows what kind of revenge you'd take after I tell you?" After saying that, Yu Dawei saw the other person's embarrassed face and, without hesitation, told him his name: "My surname is Yu, Yu Dawei."

"Alright, then we'll meet again." The bald man clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yu Dawei, then turned and led his men away from the flea market quickly.

When Yu Dawei turned around, he saw the quirky little girl sticking her tongue out at the group of people who were leaving, and he was speechless for a moment.

"Where are your parents? Aren't you worried about them wandering around outside? And are you going to sell this excavator or not?" Yu Dawei gestured to A Gui to put away his gun before asking the girl.

It's no wonder he asked that; a young girl like her is here looking at cars. And she even called to trick these adults into coming over—it all seems like she's lying or playing a prank.

It's likely that the parents are unaware of this, and given that it's summer vacation, Yu Dawei thinks this is highly probable.

To get the other party to tell the truth, Yu Dawei was very sincere, with his hands on his knees, half-bending over and smiling at the other party.

As he got closer, he noticed that the girl's pink short-sleeved shirt was filthy, and her beige shorts were also stained.

What a dirty little rascal.

"Sell! Why wouldn't I sell! I desperately need the money right now!" Seeing the doubt in Yu Dawei's eyes, the girl retorted loudly, appearing quite confident.

However, when her parents were mentioned, the girl's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head without speaking. The wind blew through her bangs, lifting a strand of hair and revealing skin that was a different color from the others exposed to the sun.

Although she wasn't exactly fair-skinned, compared to her current dark complexion, she had relatively good skin.

I just don't know why I got so tanned.

"So what about your parents? They just left you here like that?" Yu Dawei looked puzzled. He stood up and looked around. All around him were abandoned cars and street vendors in the distance.

There wasn't even any shade vegetation around this place, and beads of sweat were already streaming down Yu Dawei's temples.

But he didn't see the child's parents.

“My mom died of a sudden heart attack in the hospital when I was three years old. I grew up with my dad.” The girl pouted, seemingly used to living with her father. Her tone was unusually calm, especially when she continued speaking, her face still expressionless. “A few days ago, my dad fell off his arm while repairing a car and hit his head there… He’s still in a coma in the hospital.”

The girl took two steps forward and pointed to the front of the tracks on her excavator, which was directly above the travel motor.

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei followed the girl's gaze to the boom of the Caterpillar excavator and the tracks below, feeling a pang of regret.

Damn it! That's where I fell onto the tracks from the upper arm.

Fortunately, he only bumped his waist, but the girl's father was unlucky; he probably lost his balance and fell headfirst.

What can you do? That's how it is when repairing cars. Sometimes, when lifting heavy parts, you can get your fingers scratched, and when installing parts, your arm can even get caught in the car.

In this line of work, you have to be careful, and even more careful! When Yu Dawei was at Fanfan Repair Shop, he would often give a lecture on safety precautions.

Although I'm tired of talking about these things, and my brothers are tired of hearing them, I still have to keep talking about them.

Because if something happens, it can really ruin your whole life.

"So, why did you sell the car? Did your family agree? What about your grandparents and other relatives?" Yu Dawei stared directly at the girl, his heart filled with confusion.

Even if it were a car sale, it wouldn't be up to this teenager.

“My grandparents passed away before I was born. I have two aunts, but I don’t know how to contact them. My family has a phone, but my aunts are all in Hohhot, and I don’t know their exact addresses…” The girl’s eyes reddened as she spoke.

Since her father's accident, she has been carrying the burden alone. Although her father's friends occasionally come to help, they also have their own things to do.

The grandparents across the street are quite old, and they're not very familiar with the family. She's always been alone.

"Sigh." Yu Dawei subconsciously rubbed his cheek. What the hell is going on here?

"Master, the gun is in place." At this moment, A-Gui led Duan Xiaowu over from the red car, without even glancing at the girl.

He's a little hungry now; it's almost noon, and he wants to eat.

The girl with wheat-colored skin next to him glanced at A-Gui intentionally or unintentionally as he walked over.

"Let's eat first." Yu Dawei didn't have any better ideas at the moment, and he was quite exasperated with the girl in front of him.

Such a young child dared to sell him a car for 200,000 yuan, and even managed to negotiate it down to 150,000 yuan later.

Yu Dawei glanced at the Caterpillar excavator next to him. If the problem was really just with the hydraulics, it would be worth at least thirty.

Those people thought he didn't know anything and said his upper arm and forearm were broken. That's utter nonsense. How could that iron lump break?

At most, it's a problem with the hydraulic system or the cylinder.

However, Yu Dawei glanced at it and felt that the problem was more with the hydraulic pump. The cylinder itself was very new, so the chances of it breaking down were too small.

Just as Yu Dawei was leading Duan Xiaowu and Agui forward, he suddenly noticed that the little girl behind him was standing still, her two index fingers intertwined.

Yu Dawei frowned, his tone impatient: "Let's go?"

"Huh? Can I go too?" The girl looked completely bewildered. She thought that the boss in front of her had turned around and was about to go home after learning the truth.

After all, in the past ten days or so, she had encountered quite a few bosses like this. They all turned around and drove away without saying a word after learning that she was selling her father's excavator.

Some kind-hearted bosses would even take out a few hundred-yuan bills from their wallets and hand them to her. Although she would lick her chapped lips longingly, she ultimately did not accept them.

My dad used to say that a person should have backbone. Even if someone forces something on you, you shouldn't accept it. If you do, you'll worry about it and won't be able to eat or sleep well.

She doesn't want to be unable to eat or sleep well every day.

"Let's go! Let's eat first, then take me to the hospital so I can see if what you said is true." Yu Dawei's face was filled with helplessness.

But deep down, she was still struck at her weak spot. She even thought about how she had gone through the same thing as this guy before, and imagined what it would be like if her eldest son was only ten years old at the time, and he had to run around trying to save her...

I don't dare to think about it, I'll cry.

"Ah? Okay!" The girl was taken aback at first after hearing what Yu Dawei said, but then she was overjoyed. "I know a noodle shop nearby that's both delicious and cheap!"

"Their stir-fried noodles with green peppers and shredded pork are so delicious!" The girl reverted to her mischievous and adorable self.

"Alright, you're the host, I'll listen to you." Yu Dawei got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and let out a long sigh.

Duan Xiaowu remained in the passenger seat, while Agui, having switched driving positions with his master earlier, remained in the back seat.

The girl sat next to him, but now that she was so close, she didn't dare look at him anymore. Instead, she excitedly leaned between the two seats in front of her and started introducing Yu Dawei to the delicious food of Kunming.

However, when she heard Yu Dawei say that he was the "host", her wheat-colored face blushed slightly. "Um... I, I don't have any money... I used all my money to pay my dad's hospital fees."

"What are you thinking? This meal is on me." Yu Dawei rolled his eyes at the shy girl in the rearview mirror, started the car, stepped on the gas, and quickly left the flea market.

"What's your name?" Yu Dawei asked on the way.

"My name is Shao Mingxue! You can just call me Xiaoxue. What about you?"

In the car, Duan Xiaowu immediately started talking, turning his head and saying with a grin: "My name is Duan Xiaowu, and the man next to you is Jiang Gui, nicknamed Agui. He's my senior brother, and the one driving is naturally our wise and brave master, who is skilled in both literature and martial arts!"

“Speak properly. You’ve only known your Uncle Ji for a few days, and your flattery skills are already so masterful.” Yu Dawei’s lips twitched.

Now, thanks to Lao Ji's leadership, Fanfan Repair Shop is filled with praise every day, making the customers who come in laugh.

Yu Dawei simply ignored it, but now it seems he'll have to talk to Lao Ji when he gets back, lest he corrupt the child.
