Zhang Laosan's home is at the mountain side of the village, and the house is built at the base of the mountain.
As the name suggests, Wujiatun originally had only one surname in the village, and the rest were immigrants. Zhang Laosan and his family moved here more than 30 years ago.
Their family originally had three children, but their lives were not good. The eldest child died young, the second child had an accident, and only the third child, Zhang, was still alive. In addition to supporting his wife and children, he also has to take care of his parents, who are in their seventies.
There are three adobe houses built in the yard of Zhang Laosan's house. His parents live in the main house, and Zhang Laosan and his wife and children live in a side room. The other side room was originally used by Zhang Laosan, but it is still vacant and is planned to be used by Zhang Laosan. When his son grows up, he will marry a wife.
Liu Fusheng met Zhang Laosan on the Kang in the wing room.
A skinny, dark-skinned, unshaven middle-aged man in his forties.
"Third brother! I'm back from Shanghai!" Wu Daming forced a smile on his face, but sighed in his heart.
It turned out that Zhang Laosan was also a strong man, and he could pull a loaded mine cart from the mine pit to the ground by himself! But now, he is almost a breathing skeleton!
Zhang Laosan leaned on the quilt, raised his eyelids, and said weakly: "My wife told me that you are back! Many villagers have gone to your house, you... ahem! Have you divided all the money? You didn’t leave anything for me, so you came to me so late?”
Wu Daming laughed and said: "What are you thinking about! Are we like that? We agreed at the beginning that your leg would be cut off for our Wu family! If we have one bite to eat, you will have one! This is Two thousand dollars! Count it!"
"Two, two thousand?!"
After hearing this amount of money, Zhang Laosan's eyes suddenly lit up, and even his wife's eyes widened.
But what Wu Daming handed over was indeed two thousand yuan. Zhang Laosan held the money tightly and said with a blush on his face: "You only took away such a few jade pieces, how could you sell them for so much money? Those are all scraps. ah!"
"What about the scraps? Isn't that our Xiushan jade? There are rich people everywhere in the Shanghai market. I wanted to buy it for fifteen yuan at first, but then I found it was too cheap, so I just bought it for fifty yuan a piece, but it still cost less. In two days, I bought them all!" Wu Daming said with a smile.
In fact, of course he took all this money out of his own pocket!
The jade company in Southeast Asia compensated him 50,000 yuan. He deposited 30,000 yuan in the bank and gave 5,000 yuan to each family of his parents and father-in-law. Originally, he wanted to give Zhang Laosan more, but he was afraid that taking too much would cause other people in the village to talk behind his back, so he took two thousand yuan.
Although two thousand is not much, it is definitely enough to feed Zhang Laosan’s family of five for more than half a year!
Zhang Laosan didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't stop nodding his head, his face looked much better, and he said: "Okay! Great! I just said that our Xiushan jade will definitely be sold at a high price! Wait until next time..."
As he spoke, Zhang Laosan's expression suddenly dimmed! Is there a next time? Others still have jade scraps to supplement their wages, but now that he has lost his job, he can’t even get the scraps!
At this time, Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "Brother Zhang! Don't worry about this! My cousin and other villagers have already discussed it! Those jade scraps are too expensive to process outside, and they want you to do it Engraving machine, process jade pieces for them at home! All the work in the village will be done for you!"
"Really, really?!" Zhang Laosan's voice was trembling a little, and hope suddenly rekindled in his eyes.
These words were not discussed beforehand by Liu Fusheng and Wu Daming, but Wu Daming was not slow to respond. He also knew that Zhang Laosan was almost desperate now. Only by giving him hope can he have the motivation to continue living!
"Yes, Third Brother! We have already discussed it!" Wu Daming nodded.
Zhang Laosan and his wife were all very happy, so that he would no longer be a useless person and could support himself by his own craftsmanship!
It was only then that he finally noticed Liu Fusheng: "Da Ming, who is this young man?"
Wu Daming said: "This is my distant cousin, coming to live in our village for a few days!"
"Do you have a cousin like this? The young man is handsome. He must be from the city. He has gone to college, right? High school or university?" Zhang Laosan saw the hope of life and became talkative.
Sudden!
Suddenly there was a commotion outside!
Immediately afterwards, vicious shouting came from the loudspeaker in the village...
"Anyone from Wujiatun who can understand human speech! Who can still breathe! Fuck them all, get out of here to the small square! If I find out, who the hell dares not to come! I burned down his house !”
Hearing this voice, Wu Daming and Zhang Laosan's expressions suddenly changed!
"Wang Yubo! Why is he here?" Zhang Laosan was obviously very afraid of this voice, and he started to tremble while speaking!
Liu Fusheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is Wang Yubo?"
Wu Daming's face lost all color, and his lips trembled as he said: "He is Wang Yuhong's younger brother! In name he is the vice president of Yulong Mining, but in fact he is Wang Yuhong's thug! Those gangsters who came to our village before were all Wang Yubo Found him! People from several surrounding villages and mines are all afraid of him! If he comes today, I'm afraid..."
As he talked, Wu Daming suddenly stopped talking.
Liu Fusheng understood what he meant. As soon as they returned from the Shanghai market, Wang Yubo brought someone to the door. This was definitely not a coincidence! It is even very possible that he came here for Wu Daming!
Liu Fusheng smiled slightly: "Since everyone is here, of course we have to go and meet them."
"Liu County..." Wu Daming was about to call the county magistrate, but he immediately reacted and said urgently: "But these people are hooligans, and they beat people very cruelly..."
"I know it well." Liu Fusheng smiled and shook his head, and then said to Zhang Laosan: "Brother Zhang, you stay in the house to recuperate, and my cousin and I will go out and take a look! Let's have a good chat another day when we have time. !”
Zhang Laosan was a little frightened at this time, but just nodded tremblingly.
After leaving Zhang Laosan's home, Wu Daming lowered his voice and said: "County magistrate! Although you are the county leader, you must not show up this time! Those guys are all desperadoes and can do anything. Yes! Fortunately, they don’t know you are here, so you should go back to my house first..."
"I hid, what should you do?" Liu Fusheng asked directly without letting Wu Daming finish.
Now that we know why Wang Yubo came here, Wu Daming who went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange must be targeted!
Wu Daming hesitated when he heard the words, then bit his tongue and said: "I have nothing to do! The worst is to give in to them for the time being and admit my mistake, they... they can't do anything to me..."
Afterwards, even Wu Daming himself had no confidence. He knew Wang Yubo and those men, so couldn't he really do anything to him? It is very likely that he will become the second Zhang Laosan!
Liu Fusheng smiled and said: "Uncle Wu, don't be afraid. As long as I am still the magistrate of Xiushan County, no one can do anything to the people of Xiushan County. This is true in Shanghai, and even more so in Xiushan County!"
