Chapter 6: Killing, what about bowing your head for the time being
"Liu Chen, stop for Lao Tzu!"
Zhao Huaili strode over and pushed Liu Chen, "Lao Tzu is talking to you, are you deaf?" β
Liu Chen's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?" β
"I'm going to pull potatoes again, did you ask us?"
Zhang Zhaotong walked over with a dry tobacco bag.
He glanced at Zhao Huaili and said, "Huaili, what are you doing, everyone is from the township, talk well." β
Zhang Zhaotong smiled at Liu Chen again, "Liu Chen, uncle knows that it is not easy for you to take care of the family alone, we are willing to pull you in, but you have to be obedient." β
"And what do you want me to do?"
Zhao Huaili said: "Let's join forces and let the driver increase the price for us, 2 yuan a car, if the price is not raised, no one will do it." β
"Yes, we have to be united."
"Whoever pulls it in private can't get along with our master!"
"There are only a few potatoes in our village, and people from other villages don't dare to come, as long as we don't do it, they don't have a way to fart."
"Don't worry, they are all foreign vehicles, don't dare to do anything to us, and they will definitely increase the price obediently when the time comes."
Liu Chen instantly figured out why all the potatoes in the previous life were rotten in the ground, it turned out that the roots were here.
He asked, "Brother Huaili, if they don't agree, won't the potatoes all have to rot in the ground?" β
"Hey, this is our, it's not our potatoes anyway, it's rotten."
Zhang Zhaotong knocked the cigarette pouch pot on the board car, and said: "That's it, the money that those who grow potatoes in a year is gone, let's make some hard-earned money, if they don't want their potatoes to rot in the ground, then they can give us the 1 yuan." β
"Hahaha......"
The people in front of them are extremely ugly.
worse than evil spirits, worse than beasts.
After sorting out the memories of the previous life, Liu Chen thought about it.
"You're right, I'm still young, and I'll understand when you say that."
Liu Chen lowered his posture and put the cart on the ground, pretending to obey.
"Brother Huaili, thanks to your guidance, I understand that if you want to make more money, you have to listen to you."
Liu Chen turned his head to look at Zhang Zhaotong again, "Uncle Zhaotong, although your surname is Zhang and my surname is Liu, I call you uncle, you are my elder, I will listen to you in the future, if I do something wrong, you will bear me." β
Zhao Huaili cracked his mouth and smiled, "It's okay, it's all from the villagers, you're welcome." β
"That's right, Liu Chen, if you want to talk about it, we are not outsiders, you will follow us from now on, don't worry, I can't lose you." Zhang Zhaotong said.
Then everyone else expressed their willingness to accept him.
Liu Chen then thanked Dade for his killing, and almost knelt down to kowtow to them.
"Ahh
Liu Chen sighed, bent down and touched the handlebar, and put it down again.
Zhao Huaili said: "Huh? What's wrong with you? β
"Brother Huaili, you know what I was like before, I didn't do a lot of bastard things, not only did I lose all my family property, but I also owed a lot of debts, and I let the debt collectors take away the little money I earned yesterday, and when I came today, the child was crying with hunger, alasββ"
"Don't worry, brother, as long as the driver raises the price for us, are you still worried about not making money?"
"yes, the driver will be coming to talk to us soon."
"Today, I will arrange a place close to the main road for you, so that you can pull a few more cars."
Liu Chen pretended to rub his eyes, "I know everyone is good for me, but I really can't help it now, my children and wife are still hungry at home." β
"You are all elders, how many years older than me, we are all men, even if you are hungry and suffer yourself, you don't want your family to be cold and starving, right?"
Zhang Zhaotong said: "Yes, you kid, you have really grown up." β
"So, Brother Zhaotong, Brother Huaili, uncles, I beg you for my daughter, just let me pull a few carts first, at least give her today's meal money to earn for her mother, okay?"
Liu Chen patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I won't pull if I have more, as long as I earn enough money for today's meal, I will stop." β
"I know I'm nothing in front of your uncles, but I beg you to let me pull some carts for the sake of my dead parents and for the sake of the children at home."
In the previous life, Liu Chenhe had been so low to people.
But now in order to make a lot of money, for the sake of his next plan, it is nothing to bow to them temporarily.
His next plan needed money, and the 15 dollars he had left at home was not enough.
Liu Chen's performance directly lifted Zhao Huaili and them to the sky, and Zhao Huaili immediately didn't say a word, and waved him directly.
Liu Chen chose the piece of land closest to the main road.
At the end of yesterday's work, Liu Chen's whole body was numb, all his movements were almost mechanical, and he didn't feel tired.
After resting for the night, when he bent down to carry a box of fifty pounds of potatoes today, the pain in his muscles and joints made him gasp.
I really want to put it down.
No!
No!
This is just the beginning, there is no unbearable hardship in life!
What am I compared to the sins my wife and daughter have suffered in the past few years?
Gritted his teeth and persevered, picked up a box of potatoes, and turned on the running mode again.
Pulling the first cart of potatoes to the corresponding truck, Liu Chen began to unload the truck, stacking it neatly as yesterday.
A thin driver in his 50s came over to greet Liu Chen.
"Young man, take your time, don't rush." The driver said and handed a cigarette to Liu Chen.
"Uncle, I don't smoke."
The driver took a puff of cigarette and asked casually, "Why are you alone, why haven't they come yet?" β
Liu Chen looked left and right at no one, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, yesterday, the gang of potato pullers united to ask you to increase the price, and it must be raised to 2 yuan a car to work, otherwise they will strike and not work." β
"!" The driver's uncle burst into a foul mouth and coughed under the smoke.
Liu Chen glared at him.
The driver's uncle lowered his voice and asked, "What the hell is going on, you tell me in detail." β
So Liu Chen told him what he had just done.
The driver's uncle threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground, stepped on it hard, and said, "This grandma's bullying is a bully!" Tate is bullying! β
The driver muttered, his face full of helplessness and resentment.
Liu Chen said: "Uncle, I have a way. β
Speaking of this, after the potatoes were unloaded, Liu Chen continued: "Uncle, don't make a noise first, I'll pull down the car and tell you in detail." β
The driver's uncle looked at him and didn't understand what he meant.
Pulling the second car back, Liu Chen told the driver his plan.
He would rent a tractor at night and use it to pull the potatoes, and he would work with all the potato growers to help load the trucks and make sure it was done overnight.
"Will this work? What if they knew? β
"I'll figure it out, as long as you all agree, and you go and ask the other drivers."
"Hey, okay, I'll ask."
Next, three more truckloads of potatoes were pulled over, and the driver's uncle also came back, telling Liu Chen that the drivers and masters were very angry when they heard about Zhao Huaili's thoughts, and they were also very grateful to Liu Chen, and they were all willing to cooperate with Liu Chen's plan.
Liu Chen said: "Uncle, 5 yuan a car." β
"Okay, 5 yuan a car, this price is fair."
Liu Chen said: "Master, you don't have to discuss with other masters? β
"No, you're helping us, don't say that the price of 5 yuan a tractor is very fair in itself, even if it's a tall one, we don't care, I have the final say."
"yes, that's fine." Liu Chen nodded and continued: "In order to pull more in one trip and try to finish it as soon as possible, I will tie two more carts to the back of the tractor body, and then add 1 yuan to one cart, and the total amount will be 7 yuan per trip, no problem, right?" β
The driver's uncle was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Then I have to discuss this with them, and I'll give you a reply later." β
Later, the driver's uncle replied that everyone agreed to the price proposed by Liu Chen.
So the plan is finalized.
The reason why Liu Chen dared to talk to them like this was that he also knew about these drivers who collected potatoes, although it was said that these ten miles and eight towns were all potato growers, but the farmers who planted potatoes would sell them to familiar carts every year.
If these drivers go somewhere else, let alone receive potatoes.
Even the trucks that people have there will not allow them to steal business.
After arranging the cart, Liu Chen was about to arrange the potato growers.
This project could never be completed by him alone, and he had to rely on the help of potato farmers.
