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

Chapter 527 His name isn't Tie Zhuzi, it's Li Guanqi
The SUV was parked in the garage in the front yard. Yu Dawei got out of the car and took the rice and flour he brought back from the flour mill into the warehouse next door.

"Squeak~" As soon as I entered the warehouse, I heard the squeaking of rats coming from the corner of the wall, as well as the sound of rats violently hitting their cages.

Rats were a common problem in rural warehouses, so Yu Dawei welded several rat traps in the factory. The design of the traps was based on the principle that rats couldn't get out once they entered.

After placing the rice and flour on the partition of the warehouse, Yu Dawei turned around, walked to the corner, squatted down, and glanced at the rat traps: "Not bad, both traps have been caught. I'll feed you to the old cat next door later."

Yu Dawei then carried the two cages out and saw Yu Muyu running over with a slingshot, with Gou Shengzi following beside her.

"Dad! Mom! Mice!" Yu Muyu was about to go over and see what goodies his dad had brought him when he saw his dad come out of the storeroom carrying two mice.

Too scary!

"Woof woof!" Gou Shengzi is much calmer now. Even when a child comes to play with his little master, he doesn't bark randomly.

However, today was an exception. It sensed that the two creatures in the cage were not behaving properly and might harm its little master.

"Shut up." Yu Dawei kicked Gou Shengzi, then looked at his eldest son, "Where's your mother? Did she go to town?"

"No, my mom's making pancakes inside." Yu Muyu pointed at the mice and asked, "Dad, where are you planning to throw them?"

"Isn't there an old cat in the house next door? Let's give it some food." Yu Dawei said as he walked over to the next house.

The wall of Yu Dawei's courtyard is the same wall as the one on the west side, which was also built by Yu Dawei. Since no one lived on the west side, Yu Dawei didn't put any broken glass or anything on it. On this side of the wall was his own doghouse, and on the other side was the old doghouse in the west courtyard.

The stray cat next door, whose owner I don't know, often hides in the doghouse. In addition, Han Jingfan always likes to feed the old cat, so it has been staying in the neighbor's yard and won't leave.

Yu Dawei had just stepped over the wall when he suddenly saw that the door to the house next door, which hadn't been opened for years, was now open. Startled, he quickly pulled his leg back and stared blankly at the woman who came out, holding two mousetraps.

The woman was carrying a bucket of swill on her head when she went out and happened to see Yu Dawei. She then subconsciously glanced to Yu Dawei's right and exclaimed, "Oh my god!"

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm feeding this mouse to the cat." Yu Dawei quickly reached out to smooth things over, and then quickly put the cage next to the doghouse.

Not long after, people came out of Yu Dawei's house, and several people also came out of the house next door.

The two families just looked at each other like that.

Because Yu Dawei's courtyard wall was relatively high, Han Jingfan couldn't see the people in the opposite courtyard when she came out, but she could guess their general situation.

She quickly climbed the ladder to the top of the doghouse and explained with a smile to the woman, man, and child in the opposite yard: "This is my husband, Yu Dawei. He just came back and didn't know that someone had moved into our yard. He was thinking of feeding the old cat."

"Oh! You must be Boss Yu. It's a pleasure to meet you." The woman only realized who it was after hearing Han Jingfan say that.

The family of four returned from Liancheng in Liaoning Province. As soon as they entered the village, they heard their family members talking about Yu Dawei's remarkable deeds over the past few years.

I heard that he not only opened a repair shop in the town, but also has branches in other cities, and he owns a lot of excavators, road rollers and the like. He's incredibly rich.

The woman's husband's surname is Zhang, and he is also from Yujiatun. Years ago, the neighbors next door were not Yu Dawei's family, but a family surnamed Fu. Back then, the house was not like this; it was a completely unfinished house, and it was leaning to one side and crooked to the other.

Looking at their high walls, large courtyard, and garage now, they really are a wealthy family. The woman originally thought that Boss Yu didn't usually come back to the village, but she didn't expect to meet him today. She quickly smiled and praised him: "I heard that Boss Yu has made a fortune in town. We just returned to our hometown. We should help each other out in the future."

"Hehe, no problem, no problem." Yu Dawei smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, then looked at the man who came out of the house.

The man had a buzz cut, deep-set eyes, and a high nose. At first glance, he looked like he had some foreign ancestry. Behind him were two little ones, a girl who was taller and seemed to be older than the boy next to her.

The more Yu Dawei looked at the man, the more familiar he seemed. Finally, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "You're Zhang Ergouzi from the Zhang family at the west end!"

"Yes!" The man smiled as he saw that Yu Dawei recognized him.

Old Zhang's family in the west end has three brothers. The eldest brother lives on the street behind Yu Damin's house. He always lived with his father and dutifully farmed the land.

The eldest son's family has two daughters and a son. The son is the same age as the eldest son, but the eldest son has never played with other children; he always plays with Tiezhu.

Unfortunately, at the end of 1999, Tiezhuzi went to the city with his father.

The reason was that a fire broke out in Tiezhuzi's house at the beginning of winter, which burned the old lady to death. Only Tiezhuzi was lucky enough to survive.

Moreover, Tie Zhuzi, who, like A Gui, had a congenital speech impediment, was able to speak after that fire.

It's probably due to stress.

Yu Dawei was on a business trip at the time and had no idea about it. He only found out about it from Han Jingfan after he returned to the village.

Later, when the house burned down, Fanfan brought Tiezhuzi to his house. His father returned a few days later to handle the funeral arrangements for the old lady, and then took Tiezhuzi away that same day.

Han Jingfan also told Yu Dawei that Tiezhuzi's father was not the drunken, smoking hoodlum he was rumored to be. He was dressed very properly when he came back and was very tactful when handling the funeral arrangements for the old lady.

His eldest son also told him that Tiezhu's father was very cultured and could tell myths and legends.

Moreover, Tie Zhuzi isn't called Tie Zhuzi; he has a name, Li Guanqi!
Yu Dawei had no interest in this, after all, that family was just an outsider from the village, and no one in the village had ever been close to them.

If it weren't for the fact that his eldest son had a good relationship with Tiezhuzi, Yu Dawei wouldn't have been able to bring them food and drinks so often. However, the old lady was a really good person, and the fact that she was burned to death in the fire really touched him.

That's just how life is—unpredictable.

Speaking of which, Tiezhu used to call Agui "Master" because Agui taught him some simple sign language and how to read and write.

Of course, these were all rumors that Yu Dawei heard when he returned to the village.

He's been so busy with work these past few years that he's really paid little attention to the little things in the village.

He only knew that the people around him were all very good, and that meant they were truly good.
