Chapter 40: The Pain of the Dead
Yuan Mengcong didn't know anything that happened after he left. Now Yuan Mengcong feels that his brain seems to be opening unexpected memories with the development of things at any time.
The next day, in a remote county town 5,000 kilometers away from Qinghe Town, Batian County, although the name sounded very domineering. But the lives of the people of this place are somewhat diametrically opposed to the name.
The people here depend mainly on plantations and fruit trees in the mountains for their livelihood. Due to the underdeveloped traffic here. It's a long way from the big cities. Therefore, the ripe fruits here need to have a special receiver from outside to come here to receive the fruits during the ripening season.
The so-called largest wholesale market in the county is actually only the size of a one-fifth football field, and hundreds of merchants gather here to receive goods. There are countless of them.
Most of the people who come here to deliver goods are people from villages and towns dozens of kilometers away. In order to catch up with the five-day harvest season every six months. These villagers arrive a day or two in advance with all kinds of tools. After all, the transportation here is not developed, and whoever has a car that pulls goods can be regarded as rich as a landlord!
Of course, most people come here from a village dozens of miles away with a family of three or four bicycles, with two large baskets tied to each side of the car. If you catch a good consignee to give a high price. Such a family can also sell for a good price of thousands of dollars at a time. These thousands of dollars are enough for their daily life for half a year.
But there are exceptions to everything, and this exception is what people call injustice. And this exception happens all the time.
The largest agricultural wholesale place in Batian County is crowded with people, and from time to time some people shout, "What is the price of Boss Zhang's fruit this year!"
"Not this year, although prices are rising fast, we have to spend a lot of oil and water money on this trip, and we can't make a lot of money by folding around!"
Each grower seems to be talking about the advantages of his fruit in front of different wholesalers, most of whom are of course big contractors in each village. They try to send out all the fruits of the season, and save them all in their own hands when the time comes.
These big households are very selfish, they want to sell all their fruits, and they are actually worried about those retail households, although ↗dǐng↗diǎn↗ small ↗ words, .≧.o£s_(); Each retail investor doesn't have much to offer, but they can't stand the large number of people!
These big investors know that if those small retail investors are cheaper than their own, then their own money will be greatly reduced.
So they will try to negotiate with some buyers, as long as they buy their own goods, they can pump more oil and water. That would also lower the price for other retail investors.
"Hey, old man, why do you just get two baskets this year! What about your wife!" shouted an old man as he watched another old man push a cart over.
When this old man surnamed Wang walked up to this old man Zhang, he said, "Hey! When people get old, they will always get sick." The old woman has been unwell recently, so she didn't let him come. Isn't there a five-day time to receive the goods? I'll sell it today and rush back overnight, and I'll be able to pull it again tomorrow. “
"Yo! It's not a big deal! Hey, we're old, and we usually don't have much to do, so we rely on this diǎn business to make a living. Take care of yourself!"
"Well, this time it's sold out, go back to my house to eat and drink. Wang Laohan said.
"No problem, hey! This life is one year less!" Zhang Laohan said with emotion.
Wang Laohan pushed the cart alone and continued to walk forward.
"Yo, isn't this the old king's head? I'll come here by myself this year!" said Hu Jian, a big contractor in Wang Laohan's village.
"Yes, my wife has been unwell lately, so I came by myself. Wang Laohan said.
"How's this year's harvest!" Hu Jian finished speaking, opened Wang Laohan's basket and looked at it.
"Oh, this year's fruit is not in good condition, and it doesn't seem to be selling for a good price. Hu Jian said treacherously.
When Wang Laohan heard this, he asked in his heart. "Why, my fruit is the best in our village. Can't you sell it at a good price? “
"It's hard to say! This year's fruit purchase price is not high! So be it! I have a friend who buys it there. Let's go over, I'll ask him to give you the price of one diǎn higher!" Hu Jian said.
"That's a good feeling, then thank you Brother Hu. Wang Laohan said.
"It's not easy. Come with me!" Hu Jian finished and walked forward.
"Boss Wang, hello, this is one of our elders, and my wife has been sick recently and has not come. You see that they are all surnamed Wang, so the price is right!" Hu Jian said with a smile.
"Well, I'll take a look first!" the boss, surnamed Wang, finished speaking, and looked at the fruit in the basket.
After reading it, his brow furrowed.
Wang Laohan looked at the other party's expression, and his heart tightened.
"Brother Hu, this fruit is not in good condition! You see that there are so many deliveries here, this one is indeed diǎn bad!" Boss Wang shook his head and said.
"Don't! You see that Uncle Wang is also my elder, isn't it? You just look at my face and give more diǎn. Hu Jian said.
"So be it! I will collect other good colors for five dollars and a pound. I'll give you a piece!" said Boss Wang, as if he had made up his mind.
"Uncle Wang, look. How bright this boss Wang is. Just sell it to him!" Hu Jian said.
"I remember last year it was two dollars, why is it so low this year. And my fruit is in good condition!" Wang Laohan said.
After Wang Laohan finished speaking, Boss Wang looked at Hu Jian. "Brother Hu! It seems that this Uncle Wang is not sincere in selling it!"
After hearing this, Hu Jian rolled his eyes and said to Wang Laohan. "Uncle Wang, look at what you said. Although there were two yuan last year, but this year's prices have risen! It's not easy, and Boss Wang also has to make a lot of money. If you don't believe me, go to another store and ask if they can give you this price?"
Wang Laohan heard Hu Jian say this, and thought, what Hu Jian said is also more familiar with the market here. If you sell it yourself, others can't sell it at this price, then it's not cost-effective. After all, my wife still needs money to see a doctor!
Thinking of this, Wang Laohan said in his heart, "Okay, then I'll sell it to you!"
"Haha! That's right! No one else would give you this price!" Hu Jian rolled his eyes and said.
Wang Laohan's two baskets of fruits totaled 300 catties. Boss Wang gave Wang Laohan three hundred according to the price.
looked at the direction in which Wang Laohan left. Hu Jian and Boss Wang laughed.
"Boss Wang is good!" Hu Jian said flatteringly.
"Haha! Brother Hu still has a way!" said Boss Wang.
"Where, where!" thanks to Boss Wang's care.
At this time, Wang Laohan had already pushed the cart out of the far away after taking the money. When he came to Zhang Laohan again.
"Hey, old Wangtou, it's so fast today, how much did you sell it. Zhang Laohan said.
"I ran into Hu Jian just now. He introduced me to a friend, Boss Wang. Sold for a pound. Wang Laohan said.
"What? Hu Jian introduced you to a pound?" asked Zhang Laohan.
"yes! Wang Laohan said.
"Hey, you said that I didn't sue you just now, this Hu Jian and a few bosses over there did this deliberately, just to lower the price of our retail investors. If you look over there, the fruit merchants over there all charge three dollars a catty. The worst is two yuan!" Zhang Laohan said.
"What? three yuan a catty?" Wang Laohan turned his back after hearing this.
"Oh, old king, are you alright? Zhang Laohan said.
At this time, Wang Laohan still had the mind to rest! He said, "No, I'm going to find him, why lie to me." “
"Don't go. They are not easy to mess with!" Zhang Laohan persuaded.
"No, I can't. This son of a bitch. I'm going to have to reason with him. After Wang Laohan finished speaking, he put the car there and walked directly towards Hu Jian.
"Yo, Uncle Wang, why are you back? Hu Jian said with a smile.
"There's you, a king and a calf. Why do you receive three pieces over there, and you have one here. You're a king. Return the goods to me. Wang Lao Han roared loudly.
"I said, old Wang, we just let you go to another house. If you don't go, why don't you come back and ask for goods if you think it's not suitable now, this business is not open by your family. Hu Jian said with a different face at this time.
"Bastard, I still believe in you. You bring me the goods. Wang Laohan said.
"Your goods are not for me, I want to get them myself! Boss Wang is over there!" Hu Jian said indifferently.
Wang Laohan also ignored Hu Jian, and walked directly in the direction of Boss Wang.
When Wang Laohan walked in front of Boss Wang, he said loudly. "You're a thousand cuts. Dare to lie to me. You bring me my goods, and I won't sell them. “
"Who are you? What kind of goods? Besides, is there any rule for returning this sale? Get out of here. I'm still in business!" said Boss Wang with a disdainful face.
"You return the goods to me. I'm not selling anymore. Wang Laohan said and grabbed Boss Wang directly.
"Old man, what do you want to do?" said Boss Wang while calling out to his men.
At this time, six or seven young men ran over and dragged Wang Laohan along.
Then he fell heavily to the ground. How could Wang Laohan withstand the beating of so many young and strong young people?
But the young man here didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
"Beat me, kill him, I'll carry it. Boss Wang said viciously.
Wang Laohan saw that he was about to be beaten and had no breath, and at this time, a gust of wind blew from Wang Laohan's side, and I saw that several young people who had beaten Wang Laohan just now flew out and fell to the ground. One by one, they howled.
The people around me were stunned by this sudden and strange thing, and they looked left and right as if they were looking for something!
The most shocking person at the moment is Boss Wang. For when the young men were all on the ground, a young man appeared in front of his eyes. If Wu Xiyu was here, he would definitely be surprised. Because this person is the murderer who killed the two people downstairs in the first place.
But now Wu Xiyu has no chance to know.
"You, what are you!" Boss Wang stammered.
"I, I am the one who took your life. The man said.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a foul smell came. It turned out that this Boss Wang was so frightened that he was incontinent.
He did believe that the man in front of him could really take his life, and he saw the breath of death in the other party's eyes.
At this moment, a man behind this man walked up to Wang Laohan. gently patted Wang Laohan and helped Wang Laohan up.
"Are you alright?" said the man.
After Wang Laohan was slapped by this person, he seemed to be full of strength, and he didn't have the feeling of suffocation just now.
"Thank you, benefactor!" After speaking, Wang Laohan was about to kneel, but was stopped by the man.
"You're welcome. After speaking, he walked towards the man in front of Boss Wang.
"Draw rain and ice, or kill less!" the man said.
"I said Chu Mengfei, why are you still so kind-hearted! You didn't see the scene just now!" It turned out that the man who spoke was called Hua Yubing.
"It's all the common people, and he has not yet reached the end of his life, so why should you? Besides, with so many people watching, you can't really kill people so blatantly. The man named Chu Mengfei said.
"Gotta get it, according to you, I'll sell you a favor today. After painting Yubing, he said to Boss Wang, "You are lucky today." But it can't just be left at that. “
"Well, you give the fruit you bought at a low price today to those people at twice the market price. This old man Wang, you give him an extra 10,000. What about my conditions?"
Where does Boss Wang still have the heart to argue? Saving his life is important! "Okay, okay, just do what you say. “
When this qiē was over, Boss Wang drove away with those young people.
Wang Lao Hantong Guò Chu Mengfei's treatment just now was no big deal and left.
Today, there are destined to be some legends that are still circulating here.
On a mountain dǐng fifty miles away in Batian County.
"Brother Painting, what a coincidence to come today!" Chu Mengfei said.
"Where, where, don't you dare to run into it by chance!" said Hua Yubing with a smile, looking cynical.
"Did you just take away that person's more than ten years of yang life?" Chu Mengfei asked.
"Hehe, you say you're good at everything, but you're too kind. If I hadn't made a move just now, it would have been that old man who would have died. Painting Yubing said.
"Maybe you're rebellious by nature. In fact, how do you understand the suffering of the people in this world!" Chu Mengfei said.
"Okay, you know, well, hey, sometimes I don't understand what you patronus spirits think. You tell me that you are the god who protects one side, and you can't really bring anything to those who are poor? Day by day, you will point fingers everywhere for the so-called justice, and sometimes you really look like a woman. Painting Yubing said.
"Forget it, I still have something to do, let's go first. After painting Yubing, he disappeared into the mountain dǐng.
Only Chu Mengfei was left standing there alone, not knowing what he was still thinking.
