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

Chapter 491 Cooperation
"Wang Wang Wang!"

A big yellow dog was barking and howling at the landlord, acting as if it would bite him if he dared to come in.

Yu Dawei walked over from a distance without stopping, staring at the big yellow dog with a cold smile on his lips. If this dog dared to bite him, he would bring Gou Shengzi over and teach it a lesson.

Years later, Gou Shengzi became notorious for its ferocity in Yujiatun, especially after Yu Dawei gave away several of its brothers and sisters. The dog went mad and barked at Yu Dawei every day.

He was later woken up by Yu Dawei hitting him with a shovel, but ever since then, he has never been home and likes to bully the dogs in the village.

The male dog fucks relentlessly, and the female dog fucks relentlessly too.

Nowadays, in Yujiatun, most of the female dogs' puppies are probably the offspring of Gou Shengzi.

Eventually, the villagers couldn't stand it anymore and came to Dawei's house to reason with him.

Under pressure from public opinion, Yu Dawei had no choice but to lock Gou Shengzi in a dog cage and have Han Jingfan let it out for a set time every day.

As for Da Bai, it's probably gotten older these past two years and it's been quite listless, but it still loves playing with its young master in the yard and often lets Yu Muyu ride it like a horse.

"Big Yellow! Big Yellow! Behave yourself!"

Before Dawei even reached the entrance of Yu Damin's courtyard, a little girl's sweet shout came from the front of the yard.

Then a little girl, about the same age as Xiao Muyu, wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket, rushed to the doghouse and grabbed the big yellow dog tightly around the neck: "If you bark again! If you bark again I'll... hey!"

When Yu Dawei saw the girl perform a perfectly executed neck lock, revealing a pair of very pretty little tiger teeth, he was amused by her innocent expression: "Qianqian, you have to use some force, yes, tighten it as much as you can."

Seeing that the little girl had taken his words to heart, he gritted his teeth and strained again, which amused Yu Dawei, who burst into laughter once more.

"Oh dear, Dawei! You've become a big boss and you still don't know how to behave properly." Just then, a woman wearing a white polka-dot apron hurried over to the landlord's house. Seeing her daughter trying to rein in the dog, she quickly ran over to stop her: "Let go, let go right now!"

"You brat, all you do is bully the family dog. You've almost killed our only good dog. Go open the door for your fourth uncle." The woman pushed the girl aside and added another instruction.

Then he got up and kicked the dog into its kennel. Yu Dawei felt that the force of his kick was more painful than when the little girl strangled the dog.

"Uncle! What brings you here? Didn't your Yu Muyu come?" The little girl seemed to know Yu Dawei very well. As soon as she opened the door, she looked up and started asking him all sorts of questions.

"No, I didn't see him when I got back. He's probably out playing with Tiezhuzi again." Yu Dawei casually took a peach out of his pocket and handed it to the little girl. "Here, have some."

"Hehe, thank you, Uncle!" The little girl happily ran away with the peach in her hand.

In Yujiatun, Yu Dawei was the fourth child in his generation, and all the children in the village called him Fourth Uncle.

Time flies, and the oldest of the younger generation are already sixteen or seventeen.

"Oh dear, you came all this way, why did you bring anything?" The woman saw Yu Dawei hand over the remaining peaches and took them with both hands, somewhat reproachfully.

"Come and see your sick family member. I just got home from town and heard about this." Yu Dawei still looked at the woman with disbelief. "Sister-in-law, I really don't understand. Damin has been riding horses since he was a child, and his skills are as good as my eleventh uncle's. How could he fall off his horse?"

"Sigh, he rode his horse into the city of Sui, and a car honked its horn behind him, which startled the horse."

"Da Min was riding pretty fast at the time, so he couldn't rein in the rope." The woman got angrier and angrier. "That damned bastard, does he think the main road is his? He's just honking like that!"

"Did you look for him afterwards?" Yu Dawei could tell that the guy driving was doing it on purpose.

"I can't find it, and I'm too lazy to look for it. I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck."

"Did you go to the hospital?" Yu Dawei asked again, following behind the woman.

"He went there. He broke three ribs, and they've been immobilized with a bandage or something. His thigh was badly injured from being trampled by a horse's hoof, so he needs to lie down and recover."

Yu Dawei nodded. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a thin-faced old lady looking at him.

The old lady had half-white hair and was wearing a simple cotton-padded jacket and coat. After recognizing the person who came, she smiled brightly and said, "Dawei is here. I haven't seen you for many days. You are such a busy person."

"What a busybody, Aunt Eleven. Look at my cheeks, they're so thin they're practically sunken in." Yu Dawei said, leaning over to show Aunt Eleven her.

When he was a child, Yu Dawei often went to two places in the village to freeload meals: one was his uncle's house, and the other was his eleventh aunt's house.

My aunt's family used to raise horses for the production team and lived a pretty good life. Yu Dawei liked to go to these wealthy families to freeload.

But then Uncle Eleven died young, and Aunt Eleven, a single woman, raised four children with great difficulty.

"You've lost weight, but you can't just eat whatever you want outside! You have to eat at restaurants." Aunt Eleven started nagging at Yu Dawei, just like a mother who keeps nagging after seeing her son lose weight.

Perhaps it was because his mother and his eleventh aunt had a very good relationship, and his aunt treated him like a son. Yu Dawei listened to his aunt's caring words as he walked into the inner room on the west side.

Yu Damin's house still has the old-fashioned layout, with the outer room for cooking and the large communal sleeping area further inside.

There was a large kang (heated brick bed), and next to it was a small inner room, not very big, with cabinets, tables, chairs and the like.

Yu Damin was lying at the end of the kang (a heated brick bed), next to a small passageway blocked by a low wooden board, where some clothes and other miscellaneous items were placed.

When he saw Yu Dawei arrive, he forced a smile and said, "You're here. I won't get up to greet you; I can't get up."

"What can I say about you?" Yu Dawei sighed as he sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"You two chat, I'll go cook. Dawei can eat here tonight, it's been a long time since you've come," Aunt Eleven said, turning around and leading her daughter-in-law to the kitchen.

"Auntie, just have a bite, don't make it too complicated." Yu Dawei turned to his eleventh aunt, and after giving her instructions, he whispered to Yu Damin, "When you fell, did you see what kind of car was honking at you from behind?"

Yu Damin frowned, pondered for a while, and then shook his head: "I can't remember, I just know it was a black car, and it was quite big."

"Well... there's nothing I can do. If you can remember the license plate number, maybe I can go to the city and ask around for you." Yu Dawei also sighed.

"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Yu Damin said, feigning indifference.

"A few days won't do; it'll take at least a few months to recover from a serious injury." Yu Dawei glanced at Yu Damin, recalling their childhood friendship of stealing bird eggs together, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you really have to grow these watermelons?"

"Plant, we must plant!" Yu Damin thought Yu Dawei was worried about his injuries, so he stubbornly said, "I'm strong enough to fall off the roof before and be fine. This little injury is nothing! I'll definitely be able to work in less than two months."

"Sigh... what a stubborn fool." Yu Dawei turned around and sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with another sigh.

In the village, Yu Damin was about the same age as him and they both had a rather impulsive personality, so they had always gotten along well since childhood.

Seeing my childhood friend heading down the path of losing money now is truly heartbreaking.

He thought about other things for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he finally tried to persuade him again: "Let me tell you the truth."

“When you came to me before the New Year, I went to the oil city to find an expert who studies the meteorology of Heilongjiang Province. He said that next year, which is 98, the rain will be heavy, especially heavy.” Yu Dawei glanced at Yu Damin, who was listening attentively on the kang. “I reckon that this year, whatever we plant will be flooded.”

“Not only watermelons, I don’t recommend you plant them either. Rent out the land you have at home if you can. There are long-term job openings in our town now. If you recover from your injuries, you can work for a year and it won’t be worse than growing crops.” Yu Dawei suggested again, “If things don’t work out, you can rent out the land. That will be a good source of income.”

"We've been friends since we were kids, I would never hurt you."

Yu Damin was astonished and it took him a long time to react: "It's definitely impossible for you to harm me, but what you're saying is just too far-fetched. How could there be such a powerful expert?"

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, my father and I have rented out all our land this year, and we have no intention of planting anything." Yu Dawei's voice was calm, but his tone was extremely serious.

Yu Damin was truly stunned. Yu Dawei could do whatever he wanted, and no one could control him, but Uncle Jiu would never mess around with this kid!

Is it really going to be flooded this year? When did weather forecasts become so accurate?

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Yu Dawei asked again, "Do you really have to grow watermelons?"

"Yes! I just feel like growing watermelons can make money!" Yu Damin said firmly.

“How about this, you can plant next year. You won’t need to rent land next year; there will be a place for you to plant. If you make a profit, we’ll split it 50/50; if you lose, we’ll share the losses equally,” Yu Dawei said.

"How big?"

"It's hard to say, but we should have a result by the end of the year," Yu Dawei said cryptically.

Yu Damin seemed to have guessed something. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded: "Okay, waiting another year is fine. It's a good time to recover from my injury. I'll go crazy with you one more time. I won't farm this year. Once I'm healed, I'll go find a job!"

"That's right." Yu Dawei smiled, which could be considered as making up for a small regret from his previous life.

Watermelons? What a load of watermelons! There's been a huge flood in Northeast China this year; everything we grow will be ruined.

He wanted to tell everyone in the village that there would definitely be a major flood this year, but who would believe him? Even his childhood friend was skeptical.

"Um, is your repair shop hiring? Can I work there?" Yu Damin asked with a smile.

"Sure, but apprentices won't earn any money."

Yu Damin: "..."
