Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

It was already afternoon when Lu Hai got home, and Jiang Lanqing was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the village.

After all, Lu Hai said when he went out that he would be back soon, but today he was almost two hours later than usual.

It would be strange if this wasn't worrying.

Fortunately, when Jiang Lanqing saw the mule cart appear in the distance, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, slowly settled down.

"It's windy at the entrance of the village, how did you get out?" Lu Hai saw Jiang Lanqing waiting here, and hurriedly ran up to ask.

"I'm waiting for you. I'm worried because you haven't come back for such a long time." Jiang Lanqing said unhappily.

Lu Hai scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Wen Bo has already settled the matter, so I went over to sign the agreement and pay the money. Didn't this delay a while?"

Then, Lu Hai asked, "They haven't left yet, right?"

"No, we're all waiting for you." Jiang Lanqing replied.

"Okay, then let's go back quickly and don't waste other people's time." Lu Hai then pulled the mule cart and rushed home.

"What did you buy? So many things?" Jiang Lanqing looked at the large and small bags on the mule cart.

"It's just some meat, two chickens, some egg cakes, candies and so on. Give them out after they leave." Lu Hai said nonchalantly.

Although the local people can help build a house without paying any money, according to local customs, it is necessary to give a meal and a red envelope to the master when raising the beam, and a banquet must also be held.

But now because it is a brick and tile house, the land and sea construction is omitted, but it is still necessary to treat everyone working on the construction to a meal.

After all, since they were able to complete the work so quickly, I have to show my appreciation.

Moreover, my brother-in-law will also need to start construction later, so I will have to trouble them then.

As for the banquet, it is actually equivalent to a wedding banquet at a new house. Lu Hai will host it in a few days.

"Ah? Do you need so many?" Jiang Lanqing naturally knew about these things, but Jiang Lanqing did not expect that Lu Hai actually bought so many.

After all, it looks like it cost at least dozens of dollars. The egg cakes alone probably weigh twenty or thirty kilograms, not to mention the White Rabbit ones.

"It's not all for them. You're pregnant, so shouldn't you take good care of yourself?" Lu Hai said casually.

Hearing this, Jiang Lanqing felt sweet in his heart.

After all, don't women all want their men to pay more attention to them?

So seeing that Lu Hai was always thinking about her, she naturally felt very good.

"You are the only one who talks too much. Go back quickly. People have been waiting for you for a long time." Jiang Lanqing urged.

"Ah."

Not long after, Lu Hai saw the door of his home.

But at this moment there was a person standing at the door, obviously waiting for him.

"Tiezhu, why are you here?" Lu Hai asked in confusion, "Is your mother okay?"

Jiang Lanqing was also a little confused when she saw Tiezhu. After all, she knew that Lu Hai had lent money to Tiezhu before.

And unlike Lu Hai, she knew about Tiezhu's mother's condition. Logically, Tiezhu should be in the hospital taking care of his mother at this time, so why did he come here?

"Lu...Brother Lu." Tiezhu's voice was a little choked.

As soon as Lu Hai heard this, he knew something was wrong.

I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, "Tiezhu, don't cry, tell me what's the matter, I'm here."

After all, when the whole village boycotted him before, Tiezhu was the only one who ignored the opinions of the whole village.

Although Tiezhu might have done this for the sake of making money, the child's filial piety did touch Lu Hai.

Especially since Lu Hai was alone in his previous life, he naturally attached great importance to these feelings.

So he really wanted to help the kid, otherwise he wouldn't have lent him money without saying anything.

After hearing Lu Hai's words, Tiezhu slowly controlled his emotions, but his voice still sounded a little tearful. It was obvious that Tiezhu had cried for a long time before coming here.

"Brother Lu, I...my mother is gone." As soon as Tiezhu said this, his tears naturally continued to fall.

Tiezhu's father left home when he was young, and he has been dependent on his mother and his younger brothers and sisters since he was a child.

His mother was ill and his younger brothers and sisters were young, so the burden was on him.

In the past, he could still complain to his mother whenever he had any problems.

But now that his mother is gone, Tiezhu has no one to complain to. After all, his younger brothers and sisters are too young, and talking would only add to their troubles.

If Tiezhu hadn't been under so much pressure, he probably wouldn't have come to find Lu Hai.

Lu Hai had a guess when Tiezhu said the first sentence, but when he heard Tiezhu's answer in person, he still felt like a bolt from the blue.

Although I knew that Tiezhu's mother died of illness, I thought that I was there in this life and Tiezhu had the money to send his mother to the hospital for treatment, but I never thought that this person would still pass away...

He thought he could change the fate of many people in this life, but the departure of Tiezhu's mother sounded a wake-up call for Lu Hai.

He turned around and looked at his wife, and then thought of his parents...

Since I have repented and become successful, they shouldn't leave early like they did in my previous life...

Lu Hai stood there for a long time without saying anything. Finally, Jiang Lanqing patted Lu Hai on the shoulder, and he came to his senses.

"Where is your mother now?"

Tiezhu wiped away the tears that were about to fall from his eyes and said with a choked voice, "At home. I brought her back from the hospital this morning."

Lu Hai took a deep breath, suppressed the worry in his heart about his family, and then patted Tie Zhu on the shoulder, "Crying is useless. If your mother were still alive, what would she say to you like this?"

"Think about your brothers and sisters. If you collapse, what will happen to them in the future? They are still so young."

Although Lu Hai knew that his words were a bit harsh, the most important thing was to set a new goal for Tiezhu.

If he gives up, no one can save him.

Then, Lu Hai looked at Tie Zhu and continued earnestly, "Besides, your mother has been ill for so long, maybe this is a relief for her?"

"So what you should do now is not to give up on yourself, but to take good care of your brothers and sisters, and take good care of yourself. I think your mother will be very pleased if she knows about this."

Hearing Lu Hai's words, Tiezhu remembered the suffering his mother had endured in the hospital, what she said to him before she left, and the look of relief on her face.

Tiezhu felt like he had been given a shot of cardiac stimulant.

"Thank you, Brother Lu, I understand." Tiezhu bowed to Lu Hai.

Seeing that the dejected expression on Tiezhu's face had disappeared, Lu Hai also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Lu Hai asked again, "Do you still have money now?"

Tiezhu lowered his head. "I have already spent all the money during my mother's hospitalization. Now I still owe the hospital nearly twenty dollars. If it weren't for the doctor's kindness, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to bring my mother back."

Lu Hai sighed when he heard this and whispered a few words in Jiang Lanqing's ear.

After listening to this, Jiang Lanqing did not hesitate and walked into the house.

Tiezhu was a little confused when he saw this.

However, Jiang Lanqing soon took out ten big unity tickets and handed them to Tiezhu.

Seeing this, Tiezhu waved his hands quickly, "Lu...Brother Lu, no need, I can figure out the money issue myself, I still owe you money now."

However, Lu Hai directly stuffed the money into Tie Zhu's hand and said, "Take it first. Where else can you find a solution in your current situation? The weather is starting to get warmer. If you can't think of a solution, are you just going to let your mother lie there like this?"

"But..." Tiezhu was a little embarrassed, he knew that Lu Hai was telling the truth.

My mother has been ill for so many years, and her family has borrowed everything they can. Not to mention the money from the hospital, there are still dozens of yuan left to be repaid from the villagers.

Who would be willing to lend it to him...

"Okay, just take it with confidence. This money is not given to you for free. If you can't find a job after you settle your mother down, you can come to me. The money you owe will be deducted from your salary. You also know that I opened an aquaculture farm and I need people to work."

"Besides, this is your mother's last journey. You have to let her go in a dignified way, right?"

After hearing this, Tiezhu stopped being so hypocritical.

Then he took the money and said firmly,

"Brother Lu, thank you. Once I have my mother settled, I will come and help you with the work."

"I will repay your kindness to our family even if I have to work like a cow or a horse for the rest of my life."

However, when Lu Hai heard this, he waved his hand.

"Go away, what do you mean by working like a slave? If your mother hears about this, won't she just take me away?"

"Okay, go take care of your mother's affairs first. If there's anything you need help with, just tell me directly."

Upon hearing this, Tiezhu nodded heavily.

He bowed to Lu Hai again, then turned and walked towards his home...
