Chapter 81: A Trip to Genshui County
The moment Liang Xuetao made his promise, Wei Hongyu had a hunch - this matter would never be so easy and simple.
Sure enough, the next moment, he put forward another proviso.
Without the permission of one party, the other party is not allowed to leave the other party without authorization, to put it bluntly, Wei Hongyu can only have him Liang Xuetao as a man in this life, don't think about the second spring or anything like that.
Wei Hongyu felt that she had three children by her side, she was already very satisfied, and she never considered the so-called second spring, not to mention, she was bitten by a snake for one year and afraid of the well rope for ten years, she was miserable enough by Liang Xuetao, and she was not interested in this kind of thing at all.
So without much thought, she nodded in agreement.
During this time, a dark cloud has always hung over Datian Village, and all kinds of bad news have come one after another, and there is so much bad news that the attitude of the villagers gradually tends to be numb.
If it were normal, after the news of Zhou Cheng's settlement in the village spread, it would probably cause an uproar. However, at this time, after a few words of discussion, they were left behind, as if a small stone had been thrown on the surface of a rough lake, and without even a ripple, there was no trace.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are alert to smell a hint of crisis.
Soon, Zhou Cheng's site selection and building of a house were put on the agenda.
He looked at a few places in the village, but he was not satisfied, and finally Mrs. You, who was in charge of cleaning and cooking in the village committee, took the initiative to ask him if he could build the house next door to her house.
Mrs. You's residence is located in the southwest of the village committee, and there is a vacant land next to it, which is not large, about less than one acre, but it is quite close to the water source.
After Zhou Cheng saw it, he decided to choose the homestead here on the spot.
Xu Rongguang got the news and wanted to stop it: "Zhou Zhishu, this is not in accordance with the rules, the formalities have not been completed yet, how can you start building a house?" ”
"Extraordinary times, very treated!" Zhou Cheng hugged his shoulders and asked with a smile: "Why don't you hold a villager meeting and let everyone vote?" ”
Xu Rongguang scolded secretly, and now as soon as the villagers heard that a meeting was going to be held, they were worried in their hearts, if such a big thing was to be voted on, he would not be drowned by everyone's spittle.
Zhou Cheng trusted some connections and quickly contacted a builder in Genshui County who specializes in hoarding cement and sand.
Genshui County is located in the northeast corner of Datian Village, about 50 kilometers away.
On this day, Zhou Cheng and Liang Xuetao arrived in Genshui County at the agreed time.
The builder was anxious to get rid of what he was holding so that he could return to his hometown early, so the price was not high, and the two sides quickly negotiated various matters.
After finishing their business, Zhou Cheng and Liang Xuetao saw that it was still early, so they drove around the county.
Genshui County is slightly larger than Rongshui County, with a permanent population of nearly 10,000, and it used to be a prosperous town, but at this time the entire county was in a dead silence.
Many poplar trees on both sides of the road have been uprooted, and the dead branches and leaves have fallen in the middle of the road, and some of the shops along the road have pulled the shutter doors, and some have wide open doors, tables, chairs, and shelves have fallen to the ground, and discarded items and glass slag are everywhere, making it a mess.......
There are only a few sporadic vehicles on the road, and there are not many pedestrians, most of them are piled up in twos and threes, staggering, and looking decadent.
After walking around, Liang Xuetao was about to turn the head of the car and drive in the direction of Datian Village.
At this time, there was a sudden noise of footsteps from a distance.
"Catch him ......"
"Don't let him run!"
"Damn lame!"
Liang Xuetao's heart moved, and he immediately stopped the car and looked over-
A middle-aged man in ragged clothes was limping forward, followed by several people not far behind, all of them fierce, one of whom also carried a long cement pipe in his hand.
After all, the middle-aged man was disabled and could not walk, so he was soon chased by the other party and kicked to the ground.
Pedestrians passing by looked at this scene, lowered their heads, and hurried away.
The middle-aged man probably realized that this time he was in a catastrophe, gritted his teeth and curled up on the ground with his head in his hands, allowing the opponent to add punches and kicks, and did not resist.
"Dead lame, if you have the ability, you can run again......"
"Look how your grandpa broke your other dogleg!"
This sentence poked Liang Xuetao's sore spot, his eyes flashed, and he pushed the car door without hesitation.......
"Brother Xuetao......." Zhou Cheng was a little surprised, and also got out of the car, only to see Liang Xuetao walk over quickly in three steps and two steps, then raised his right leg and kicked the person who was about to raise the cement pipe and wave it at the middle-aged man.
Because of what happened in his previous life, Liang Xuetao was somewhat resentful at this time, and this kick unconsciously used thirty percent of his strength, only listening to the sound of "bang", the other party flew more than three meters in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, his neck was crooked, and he was lying on the ground unconscious.
These people are just a group of rabble, as soon as they saw the boss being thrown to the ground on the spot, they were immediately frightened and scattered, and ran away, one of them was quite a little conscientious, picked up the big brother who fell to the ground, and then left in a hurry without looking back.
Liang Xuetao stepped forward and patted the middle-aged man: "What's the matter?" Can you still move? ”
"I can move, I'm fine." The middle-aged man wiped his face, staggered up, and said in a crying voice: "Benefactor, thank you, thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I..."
Liang Xuetao's gaze moved to his left foot, which was not very dexterous, and he couldn't help frowning: "Where do you live?" I'll give you a ride. ”
When Zhou Cheng heard this, he glanced at him suspiciously, and in his impression, Liang Xuetao was a person who swept the snow in front of the door, and he never meddled in things, but why was he unusually today.
Twenty minutes later, Liang Xuetao's Grand Cherokee came to a house on the outskirts of the county and slowly stopped.
The middle-aged man led Liang Xuetao and Zhou Cheng in.
The furnishings in the house are extremely simple and very messy, there are burlap bags everywhere, round tables, coffee tables and other places are piled with large and small jade.
Genshui County is rich in Hetian jade, Liang Xuetao and Zhou Cheng saw this and immediately guessed each other's identities.
The middle-aged man poured two cups of hot water and introduced himself.
Sure enough, as they expected, this Master Li's family is engaged in jade trading, and his ancestors have passed down a small processing factory.
After the processing plant closed, he planned to dispose of the batch of jade in his hand, and then go back to his hometown to reunite with his family, and he didn't know how to do it.......
When Master Li said this, he naturally had a series of words of gratitude, and then, he suddenly remembered something, and found a boxy wooden box from the cabinet, and after opening it, he took out two jade bracelets with good water heads and handed them to Liang Xuetao and Zhou Cheng respectively.
"I don't have any good things, these two bracelets are a little heart." He pointed to the box and said, "There are also some safety buckles, jade pendants or something, take them back to the children to play." ”
Liang Xuetao waved his hand: "We are all rural people, we don't need these things......."
"I know these things are worthless now, and you may not be able to look at them!" Master Li sighed and said with a wry smile: "You saved my life, don't say a little, I feel uneasy.......
Seeing him say this, Liang Xuetao and Zhou Cheng glanced at each other and accepted it on the spot.
