Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Nothing happened that night, and Zhao Wenhao woke up early the next morning.

In view of the current weakness of his body, he began to exercise systematically; he also planned to walk around the village and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment as soon as possible.

Along the way, I met quite a few fellow villagers, most of whom were familiar strangers.

Whenever he met someone, Zhao Wenhao would stop and greet them politely, even if he met a child, he would go up and tease them.

The villagers were obviously not used to Zhao Wenhao's enthusiasm. After all, Zhao Wenhao used to be a taciturn person, and the most he would do when he met people was to call out to them.

"Have you heard? This kid got beaten up by Ma Hongzhi from the town, and he made a scene again last night. And I heard from Jianmin's wife that this kid is trying to break off the engagement on behalf of his sister."

"Not only did I hear about it, but Wei Chunlan even came to my house last night to borrow money. Seeing how pitiful she looked, my family lent her 50 yuan."

"Ah, this is all Zhao Aiguo's fault. Look at Wen Jing, she's so pretty and has such a good temper, but marrying that rotten guy Ma Hongzhi is like a flower stuck in cow dung."

"You know what, Zhao Wenhao has changed a lot after going through this!"

……

The intelligence personnel in the village began to discuss and exchange the information they had obtained.

Zhao Wenhao didn't pay much attention to it and continued to do as he pleased.

He wanted to integrate into society as quickly as possible, and at the same time he also needed to travel around and see what kind of business he could start in the future.

He didn't take the foreign debt of more than 3000 yuan too seriously, but he couldn't stand the worried look on the faces of his whole family.

Besides, being able to borrow this money is all due to favors, and debts of favor are often the hardest to repay.

Therefore, Zhao Wenhao thought that if possible, he must do something for the village in the future to repay this kindness.

I ran slowly around Zhaojia Island, which deepened my impression of the surrounding environment.

When he returned home, Wei Chunlan had already prepared breakfast. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, she quickly went to get a basin of water for him to wash up.

"Mom, you have to keep a good account of the borrowed money. We must know how much each family owes." Zhao Wenhao took off his sweat shirt and wiped his bare upper body in the yard.

Wei Chunlan helped pour out the water, and at the same time said with some concern: "I know, I remember it all. But it's such a large sum of money, it will take forever to pay it back!"

3000 yuan was a huge sum for Wei Chunlan, who had been working in the fields for years. But for Zhao Wenhao, who once had assets worth tens of millions, it was nothing.

Therefore, he said nonchalantly: "Mom, just stay home and I will take care of the money in the future. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

Seeing his son so confident, although I don't know how he will make money, I am at least a little comforted.

Just as the two were chatting, Zhao Aiguo finally came out of the house.

Seeing Zhao Wenhao washing up, he seemed to want to say something.

But Zhao Wenhao didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. He just washed his face and put on the worn sweatshirt as usual.

"I think that even though Ma Hongzhi isn't a very good person, his conditions are there. If Wen Jing marries him and lives a comfortable life, what's wrong with that? You're just worrying about nothing."

Zhao Aiguo finally couldn't hold back and spoke out his true feelings.

Zhao Wenhao turned around and sneered, "Such a scumbag, and you actually think his family is good? He covets my sister's beauty, and it might be okay in the short term; but in the future, his ugly side will definitely be exposed.

There's a saying that goes, "A dog will always eat shit." If my sister marries a scum like this, she'll be walking into a hellish pit."

Zhao Aiguo obviously had different ideas, but before he could say anything, Zhao Wenhao stared at him sharply and said in a cold tone, "Don't worry about this matter. I will take care of it. I also hope that you will not do anything that harms yourself and benefits others again."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Aiguo to get angry, Zhao Wenhao walked straight into the main room and ignored him.

Zhao Aiguo was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent it. Seeing Wei Chunlan standing silently by the side, he immediately flew into a rage. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and serve me breakfast."

Wei Chunlan, who was submissive, said nothing and walked into the kitchen resignedly.

"Is Wenhao at home?"

At about half past ten, Zhao Jianmin arrived as scheduled, pushing his bicycle.

"Uncle San, you're here. Wenhao is in the room, I'll go call him." Wei Chunlan greeted Zhao Jianmin hurriedly.

In the room, Zhao Wenhao had already heard Zhao Jianmin's voice and hurried out.

"Uncle San, come in and sit down." Zhao Wenhao hurried forward to greet him. He habitually reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette, but remembered that he didn't buy any cigarettes.

Zhao Jianmin waved his hand without being polite, and said directly: "The secretary gave me 1500 yuan, and I have also brought my 1000 yuan, please keep it."

After saying that, he took off the small bag hanging on the handlebar of the bicycle and took out a stack of big unity bills.

Zhao Wenhao quickly took the money and handed over the IOU he had already written.

Zhao Jianmin nodded slightly, very satisfied with Zhao Wenhao's approach.

Not only is there his own money here, but also Zhao Yuanchao's money. If Zhao Wenhao doesn't understand this rule, then he has really misjudged the person.

Zhao Jianmin took the IOU without hesitation and asked, "Have you prepared the remaining money?"

"I've got everything ready. Including these, I've brought a total of 3600 yuan. Even if the Ma family wants to pay interest, it should be enough. If they dare to ask for too much, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhao Wenhao stuffed the money into the schoolbag he was carrying, and at the bottom of the schoolbag, there was a screwdriver lying quietly there.

At this time, Zhao Aiguo had disappeared, and Zhao Wenjing went to work on her own.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Jianmin patted the back seat of the bicycle and asked Zhao Wenhao to get on.

"Uncle San, I want to ask you something." After leaving the village and driving on the country road, Song Wenhao said casually.

"you say!"

"I've been wondering since yesterday why the Party Secretary would help our family. You all know our family's situation, so why would he be so confident?"

"Haha..." Zhao Jianmin smiled slightly, "I asked the Party Secretary the same question this morning. So, this is just a way of repaying a favor."

It turned out that one winter more than 20 years ago, the whole county was suffering from famine.

At that time, Zhao Yuanchao was still a minor. He was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back and he was almost on his last breath.

At that time, Zhao Wenhao's grandfather was still alive. Seeing Zhao Yuanchao like this, he couldn't bear to see the child starve to death, so he took out two of the few remaining sweet potatoes at home and gave them to Zhao Yuanchao.

The two sweet potatoes seemed worthless, but at that time they saved Zhao Yuanchao's life.

Zhao Yuanchao always remembered this kindness, but unfortunately, the old man passed away early, and Zhao Yuanchao was unable to repay him.

But Zhao Aiguo was like that again. Zhao Yuanchao tried to persuade him many times, but it was still ineffective, so he just ignored him.

Until this time, Zhao Wenhao happened to come to the door, so with gratitude in his heart, Zhao Yuanchao took the initiative to lend him 1500 yuan.
