Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Zhao Wenhao nodded seriously. "I mean what I say, but I also have a few requirements for you. If you can't do it, then you can do whatever you want in the future. I won't bother you anymore."

Zhao Aiguo pondered for a moment, and seemed to think it was no big deal, so he said, "Tell me what you want first, and I'll consider it."

"First of all, if you dare to hit me again, even if I can't do anything to you, I can pay someone else to do it. I hope you know what's going on and don't push me too far."

"Secondly, you can play cards and the like, but you need to limit yourself to the amount of money you have. If you go out gambling and lose, and your family goes into debt, we won't pay it off for you.

Believe it or not, I am now able to find a place to live in the city and bring my family there to make a living. I will leave you here alone to guard your ancestral home."

"Third, you are absolutely not allowed to do anything sneaky again. I hope you don't mind being embarrassed, and I hope you can take the feelings of the whole family into consideration. Do you think that if our family goes out now, people won't criticize us behind our backs?"

Zhao Wenhao finished speaking in one breath without any pause, and Zhao Aiguo couldn't interrupt him even if he wanted to speak.

Zhao Aiguo was very conflicted at this time. On the one hand, he felt that the conditions were not too harsh. He had money, so who would be willing to do those things?

However, it felt like the power in the family had been lost, and he had almost no say. He couldn't even control his wife's desires, so where did he get the authority of the head of the family?

But he had no special skills, and apart from earning a little money by doing odd jobs, he had almost no other income.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, but the key is to bow to this little beast, which makes Zhao Aiguo very uncomfortable.

"Either you two should get divorced, you go there alone, and we move out."

Seeing that Zhao Aiguo was still hesitating, Zhao Wenhao showed no mercy to him.

Zhao Aiguo felt somewhat frustrated, feeling completely controlled. He could only nod and agree, "Okay, that's it."

Seeing that Zhao Aiguo finally agreed, Zhao Wenhao immediately took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it over, which was his living expenses for this week.

In fact, Zhao Wenhao knew that some people's nature was like this, and it was not easy to change them. He did this in the hope of restraining Zhao Aiguo to a certain extent, otherwise he would inevitably cause trouble in the future.

If spending money can solve the problem, Zhao Wenhao is willing to spend this little money to make his adoptive father behave himself.

After working hard for several days, Zhao Wenhao was already exhausted. He didn't want to say much to Zhao Aiguo, so he went straight back to his room to rest for a while.

As for what Zhao Aiguo and Wei Chunlan were whispering about, he was too lazy to ask.

He finally understood that as a traditional woman, Wei Chunlan was ultimately unable to let go of the constraints and divorce Zhao Aiguo.

That night, when Zhao Wenjing and Zhao Wenxia came back, they immediately knew what had happened in the afternoon.

After all, Zhao Wenxia was still young and didn't know what to say; but Zhao Wenjing couldn't help but mutter a few words.

She had always lived under her father's oppression, so she only dared to grumble a few words. If Zhao Wenhao hadn't helped her, she might have married Ma Hongzhi directly after the New Year.

"Mom, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

After dinner, Zhao Wenhao picked up his bag, said hello to Wei Chunlan, and walked out of the house.

Wei Chunlan knew what her son was doing, so she didn't say much. Zhao Aiguo, on the other hand, wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

......................

"Is Third Uncle here?"

Seeing the dim light on in the main hall in the yard, Zhao Wenhao shouted inside.

A figure ran out from the courtyard gate. It was Zhao Jianmin’s eldest son, Zhao Haijun.

"Who?"

"Brother Haijun, it's me, Zhao Wenhao. How come you're free at home today?"

Zhao Haijun is three years older than Zhao Wenhao. He usually works in a factory in the county. He lives in the dormitory most of the time and rarely returns to his hometown.

The two of them can only say that they know each other, but they are not familiar with each other.

"Wenhao, looking for my dad?" Zhao Haijun did not seem enthusiastic. He asked calmly and opened the gate at the same time.

Zhao Wenhao walked in immediately and disagreed with Zhao Haijun's attitude.

The two of them didn't have much of a relationship, and what happened in the afternoon must have been heard by every household, so Zhao Haijun naturally wouldn't care about their family.

Zhao Haijun looked around casually and walked into the yard with Zhao Wenhao.

At this time, Zhao Jianmin's family had just finished their meal. Third Aunt was already washing pots and dishes in the kitchen, while Zhao Jianmin was sitting in a recliner, leisurely drinking tea and smoking.

Seeing Zhao Wenhao coming, he smiled slightly, "Wenhao is here! I see you've been busy these days. How is your business going?"

"Thanks to you, it's not bad." Zhao Wenhao respectfully took out a cigarette and put one in each of them.

He was still quite grateful to Zhao Jianmin in his heart.

In rural areas, in this era, if someone is willing to lend you 1000 yuan, it is definitely considered quite generous, even if the two families are relatives.

"You are so polite, kid. Your third aunt was saying yesterday that she helped to harvest honeysuckle and made a lot of money during this period. If your mother hadn't come over and said hello right away, how could she have earned more than others?"

Zhao Jianmin looked at his nephew with satisfaction, but then he thought of his brother Zhao Aiguo.

The two families shared the same great-grandfather, and originally had a good relationship. But because of Zhao Aiguo, their interactions gradually became less frequent.

If you can't afford to offend someone, why not avoid him? Anyone who encounters someone like Zhao Aiguo basically wants to avoid contact with him as much as possible.

Not to mention outsiders, even his own brother, Zhao Wenhao's second uncle Zhao Aimin, is like this.

"Aunt San is being polite. They helped me, and I should thank them." Zhao Wenhao still answered modestly.

"However, the purchase of honeysuckle should be temporarily suspended. I plan to start purchasing bupleurum later. If Third Aunt is interested, you can go and get some back soon. Don't worry about the price; I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

Zhao Jianmin laughed and was very happy.

He was not happy because his wife had earned more than 200 yuan during this period, but he was pleased with Zhao Wenhao's grateful nature.

The two chatted for a while. In the middle, Third Aunt Qian Chunhua finished her work and learned that Zhao Wenhao was going to buy Bupleurum again. She immediately seemed very happy.

In just over a month, she, a country woman, earned more than two hundred yuan, which was higher than some workers working in the county. Of course, she was happy that such a business could continue.
