A single man checks into a couples' room; his life of ease and comfort begins.

Zhao Dashan smiled and nodded, but couldn't say a word. He felt indebted to the other party no matter how he thought about it.

Because Zhao Dashan and Hao Aiguo were brothers who had been friends for generations, their fathers had sworn an oath of brotherhood by blood.

Before that incident, the two families maintained a good relationship, and Zhao Dashan thought highly of Hao Qiangzhuang and sincerely hoped that he could become his son-in-law.

However, his wife disagreed with the marriage, turning what should have been a happy and blessed union into a regrettable one.

However, Hao Qiangzhuang had long since let go of this matter.

In this society, the fault is never that of any one person or any one event, but rather that poverty itself is a kind of original sin.

After Zhao Dashan carried the rice out of Hao Qiangzhuang's house, Hao Qiangzhuang was sitting in the driver's seat, Liu Yaodong was in the back seat, and the female driver, Iris, drove the pickup truck around and headed towards the village road ahead.

Watching Zhao Dashan's retreating figure, Liu Yaodong couldn't help but say, "Brother, do you think you would have become Uncle Dashan's son-in-law if Auntie hadn't rejected you back then?"

Hao Qiangzhuang smiled calmly and didn't say anything. In Liu Yaodong's opinion, he was just afraid that Iris would be jealous.

Thinking back to last night, under the spring breeze and pouring rain, the afterimage in the car did indeed stir up wicked thoughts in Liu Yaodong's heart. Sitting behind Hao Qiangzhuang, he would steal glances at Iris from time to time, thinking to himself, "This foreign devil has a really damn good body, it makes me drool."

The scenery outside the car and the beautiful woman inside create an extreme sense of contrast.

Because the scenery outside the window is visible and tangible, while the beautiful woman inside the car is something you can look at and crave, but you can't touch her.

This made Liu Yaodong feel both itchy and painful. People are so despicable; what others see as treasures are just trash to be thrown away at him.

As the pickup truck drove into the county town, Hao Qiangzhuang turned around and looked at Liu Yaodong, which startled Liu Yaodong so much that his face turned pale instantly.

Hao Qiangzhuang, still thinking it was the lingering pressure from yesterday, handed the list to Liu Yaodong and said with a smile, "Yaodong, you're familiar with the county town, so give me your opinion on where to buy it!"

Liu Yaodong was initially afraid that Hao Qiangzhuang would discover that he was spying on Elise, but he didn't expect Hao Qiangzhuang to talk about this. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and took the order to read it.

A moment later, as they entered the Xiaoshui Bridge, Liu Yaodong hurriedly said, "Tell your sister-in-law to turn right at the intersection later."

Elise listened carefully, drove her pickup truck across the Xiaoshui Bridge, and after going straight for about 500 meters, she turned right at the intersection.

This stretch of road is the most bustling area in the county town, and Zhao Dashan's noodle shop is located near the Xiaoshui Bridge.

Further ahead, there were many shops, some with signs saying "For Sale".

Hao Qiangzhuang said directly to Elise, "Elise, pull over."

Elise paused for a moment, then pulled over to find a place to park the car and looked at Hao Qiangzhuang: "What's wrong?"

"Elise, you stay in the car. Yaodong and I will get out for a bit." Hao Qiangzhuang opened the car door, got out, and turned to close it.

Only then did Liu Yaodong slowly open the car door and bend down to get out.

Liu Yaodong closed the car door, looked at Hao Qiangzhuang with a smile, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Hao Qiangzhuang pointed to the closed shop and said, "How much is this shop? Call and ask."

Liu Yaodong glanced at the shop next door, where a disheveled woman stood with her door open, and said with a wry smile, "Brother, this is the red-light district. Isn't it inappropriate to buy here?"

Hao Qiangzhuang snorted coldly, looked towards the nearby square, and said with a smile, "It is now, but it will change with the times. Stop talking nonsense. I've given you the money. If you don't want to buy, don't stop me from buying."

Liu Yaodong smiled and looked down, saying, "Brother, I don't have a cell phone!"

Hao Qiangzhuang took out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number on the storefront.

After dialing, a woman's voice answered, her voice hoarse: "Hello, who is this?"

Hao Qiangzhuang said, "My name is Hao Qiangzhuang. I'm thinking of buying all the stores in your store."

Upon hearing the voice, the person on the other end paused for a moment, then excitedly exclaimed, "Really? Wait for me at the shop entrance, I'll be right there!"

After the woman hung up the phone, Hao Qiangzhuang and Liu Yaodong squatted down at the entrance of the shop.

Hao Qiangzhuang took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled out two, handed one to Liu Yaodong, and after Liu Yaodong took it, he took the other one, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a puff.

Ironically, the two women standing at the shop entrance deliberately loosened their clothes a bit more, revealing their allure, and swayed as they walked over.

One of the women reached out and took Liu Yaodong's arm, saying with a smile, "Boss, how about you come work at my shop? I'll help you relax!"

Whether Liu Yaodong was faking it or was just being polite because Hao Qiangzhuang was there, he deliberately backed away, saying, "Don't come, don't come, I don't play these games."

Another woman, who had originally intended to approach Hao Qiangzhuang, became enraged upon hearing Liu Yaodong's words and retorted angrily, "Liu Yaodong, stop pretending! Last month when I went back to my hometown, I had sex with him in your haystack, and you haven't even paid me yet!"

Liu Yaodong was instantly terrified, his face turning pale. He looked helplessly at Hao Qiangzhuang, his face ashen, and lowered his head.

Hao Qiangzhuang wasn't actually angry when he saw this scene. There was really no need to be angry. He also wanted to see what they were up to.

Liu Yaodong was exposed on the spot and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

The woman, who had been holding Liu Yaodong's hand, pushed him away upon hearing her companion's words, angrily saying, "You penniless wretch, you want to get something for nothing?"

Liu Yaodong glanced at the woman who had exposed his wounds; she was glaring at him with a fierce look.

Hao Qiangzhuang couldn't help but laugh: "Liu Yaodong, I don't even know what to say to you. If you want to play around with women, can't you find someone cleaner?"

"Hehehe!" Liu Yaodong chuckled a few times, becoming increasingly at a loss, fearing that Hao Qiangzhuang would suddenly attack and beat him up.

Miss Elise, sitting in her car, watched a woman approach Hao Qiangzhuang. A pang of jealousy shot through her, and she honked the horn repeatedly, yelling, "Hao Qiangzhuang, are you done yet? If you don't go buy something soon, you'll miss lunch!"

Someone was still waiting for Hao Qiangzhuang, so he called out in the direction of Elise, "Wait a minute! I have something important to discuss!"

At this moment, the homeowner who wanted to sell the house hurried over. There were two women, about the same age.

Looking at the familiar tenants, then at the two men, she glanced around to make sure no one else was nearby, and immediately asked Hao Qiangzhuang, "Which one is Hao Qiangzhuang?"
