No.198 Stranger

Half an hour later, Iggy called an old friend to drive a trailer and tow the scrapped truck home.

However, what Eagle didn't expect was that his baby daughter Tessa Eagle actually came home from vacation during the time he was out, and happened to see their trailer dragging an old-fashioned truck back home from outside, and was a little embarrassed.

"Where's the truck, Dad, you're not going to spend all our money on this truck!"

Looking at the scrapped old-fashioned truck that had been towed into front of the yard, Tessa yelled in disbelief.

Although the girl has just reached the age of college, her mother died very early, so she began to take care of her father who knew nothing about life on behalf of her mother at a very young age, and naturally knew very well what her family conditions were.

My father didn't have any proper job at all, and he ran a so-called mechanical research institute, but in fact he only renovated the family's barn, and basically used the money he earned to buy engineering equipment, and the source of income was basically all government relief.

Not only do the father and daughter have to worry about eating and drinking, but they have not paid the water and electricity use, including the bank's land loan, which has not been paid for half a year, and the bank may come to take away their home at any time, so that she and her father have been living beyond their means.

When she came home from vacation, she received a letter from the university in the mailbox, she was accepted to the university, but there was no financial aid, which meant that she had to pay extra tuition fees in addition to living expenses, and she didn't even know how to ask her father for the money.

And now, when she saw her father dragging a scrap truck back, she never imagined that her father would spend his small amount of money on such things instead of necessities, which was simply a joke about the future of their father and daughter.

"Hey baby, this truck has a great engine, it can be sold for a fortune if you just tear it down and fix it-"

Seeing that her daughter looked like the sky was falling, Eagle hurriedly explained.

"No way, we're going bankrupt."

Tessa didn't care about what her father was talking about, she just covered her forehead with a headache and turned away, she knew that nothing she said could stop her father's thoughts, she had to think carefully about how to solve her tuition problem, and her father couldn't rely on it at all.

Seeing his daughter's figure gradually disappear, Eagle was a little embarrassed.

However, he had already bought a large pile of scrap back, and the only thing he could do was to fix them as soon as possible and see if he could sell them for a good price, so he hurriedly beckoned Lucas, who had come back with him, to push the truck into the barn, or rather...... His laboratory.

Two hours passed, and the two of them inspected the scrapped truck inside and out, removing bullet holes and damage all over the car, and the brass shells that were cleaned out of it alone were estimated to be half a ton smaller, or at least they could sell for hundreds of dollars.

"The damage to this car is also too severe, was it removed from which battlefield?"

Looking at the bullet casings all over the ground, Lucas said helplessly.

"The engine is not bad, if it can be repaired, I think it can sell quite a bit-"

"It's really spacious, what do you think, as long as you buy it, it's all yours!"

However, before Eagle could finish speaking, the sound of a car suddenly came from outside the barn, and at the same time, the voice of a woman whom Eagle hated spoke, the expression on Iggy's face changed instantly, and he grabbed a metal baseball bat from the side and walked out.

Sure enough, a silver car was parked outside the barn, and a fat middle-aged black woman dressed in flowers and greenery walked on their land with two middle-aged couples dressed as outsiders, and the fat woman was still happily selling to the couple.

Eagle knew the woman, and was familiar with it, because the woman worked for the bank.

His land was bought from a bank loan, and now the loan has been out of loan for nearly half a year, and payment notices continue to fly to Iggy's mailbox, but Iggy can't take out so much money to pay the loan, and even the water and electricity bills are in arrears.

As an excellent mechanical inventor, he was very clever in connecting his own wires to the neighbor's electrical box, and was very careful to steal electricity, although the neighbor felt that the electricity consumption had increased in recent months, but he did not notice the problem.

And now, when the fat woman appeared with the middle-aged couple, Eagle immediately realized that the bank was ready to take the land and sell it to someone else.

"Hey-hey, this house is mine, it's my land, I'm not going to sell it!"

Eagle walked briskly with his metal bat in his hand, an angry look on his face.

"Mr. Ig, your loan hasn't been paid for six months, and you're stealing electricity from a telephone pole."

Seeing Iggy's appearance, the fat black aunt did not back down, but put on a swaggering appearance.

"That's none of your business, this is my house, and, you two, do you want to see the house - I'd love to take you to see where the other three people who came to see the house were buried by me, and then blow your heads off!"

The rustic Texan demeanor is evident in Iggy, a weak scientist who wields a bat and has a fierce look in his eyes, and yells at the middle-aged couple who came to see the land, so frightened that the couple ran away and ran back to the car.

Looking at the back of the middle-aged couple fleeing in embarrassment, the fat woman hurriedly followed and got into the car, she was not afraid of Iggy, because she knew very well what kind of person Eagle was, and the reason why she was so rude was just to drive them away, she couldn't let the customer be scared away.

However, she didn't bother to deal with Ig, after all, he owed the bank a loan, and when the bank notified him, he had to move.

Sending off these intruders on his territory, Eagle finally breathed a sigh of relief, tossed the metal bat aside, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and turned to return to the barn, while also thinking about what he would do with the next bank bill.

"Maybe..... It's really time to get a serious job......"

The living expenses, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the father and daughter, the daughter's tuition fees, the water and electricity bills of the house, the land loan, and the job that he does not count as a job, all turned into a lot of pressure on the single father, and he was a little out of breath.

But just as he was about to leave, a stranger's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hello, is this Eagle Machinery Manufacturing and Maintenance Company?"

When Iggy turned around and followed the prestige, he saw a yellow and green Hummer off-road search and rescue vehicle driving on the side of the road, and it was a young Asian man in a black casual suit in the driver's seat who was talking to him through the window.
