Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

We only started notifying the villagers this morning, but in just one afternoon, we had already purchased 128 kilograms.

This effect is already good, after all, these are lightweight dried herbs, not iron blocks.

"Hey, take my wages for today."

Zhao Wenhao was just about to say a few words to Wei Chunlan when Zhao Aiguo beside him couldn't help but ask for his wages.

Faced with such a man, Zhao Wenhao was helpless and could only take out money from his pocket and hand it over with an expressionless face.

Even with such a cold look, Zhao Aiguo was still not unhappy. Instead, he took the ten yuan, ran out of the yard happily, and no one knew where he went to fool around.

"Brother, I want to eat fried dough sticks."

Looking at the stacks of banknotes in Zhao Wenhao's hands, Zhao Wenxia, ​​who had already returned from school, couldn't help licking her lips.

"You stupid girl, where can I buy fried dough sticks now?"

Wei Chunlan finally couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Wenxia, ​​wanting to take her away.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhao Wenhao hurriedly stopped her and handed over two yuan. "It's not normal for little girl to be greedy. It was okay before when we didn't have money, but now we don't need this little bit. Here, take it, buy whatever you want to eat."

Zhao Wenxia was a little hesitant. After all, she had never had more than two dollars in pocket money in her life. This was a huge sum of money for her.

"That's too much. It's such a waste to give her so much money." Wei Chunlan had been used to a hard life, and she couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw her son directly taking out two dollars to buy snacks for his little daughter.

Now Zhao Wenhao really doesn't care about this. If his cheap father was not so disappointing, he would be willing to smoke Zhonghua cigarettes and drink Moutai every day.

As for the little girl, he was of course dedicated and responsible, and it was impossible for him to let her live the same difficult life as before.

Seeing that Zhao Wenxia was still hesitating, Zhao Wenhao stuffed the money directly into the little girl's pocket and said, "Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something to eat. If you don't have enough, tell me."

The little girl jumped and skipped away happily.

Seeing Zhao Wenxia so happy, Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but think of his daughter who was about the same age as her.

Unfortunately, he can never go back now and can only bury that longing deep in his heart.

"What are you still looking at?"

Zhao Wenjing, who had just returned from get off work, walked over curiously, patted Zhao Wenhao on the shoulder, and also looked into the distance.

"Nothing." Zhao Wenhao took a deep breath, put away the sadness, and deliberately smiled. "Sister, why don't you quit your job at the match factory and just help out at home."

I originally thought that Zhao Wenjing would happily agree, but I didn't expect her to shake her head repeatedly.

In her opinion, the match factory is a town-owned enterprise, and it is a stable income regardless of drought or flood, so it is considered a stable job.

What my brother is doing now, in the old way of speaking, is speculation and profiteering, and something unexpected might happen one day.

And the family has no other way to make money. If she doesn't do this job, if something happens, how will the family live?

Seeing Zhao Wenjing's determination, Zhao Wenhao didn't force her for the time being. There were still many days ahead, so he'd take it slow.

After a few rounds of trading, he would definitely have more than 50,000 yuan in his hands. When he presented this 50,000 yuan to Zhao Wenjing, she would definitely not insist on it anymore.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, just after dawn, Zhao Aiguo finally ran back home from some unknown corner.

Looking at his tired face and the constant yawning, I knew he had been gambling all night again.

Fortunately, Zhao Wenhao was still asleep at this time, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to say seeing him like this.

That afternoon, the villagers returned one after another and began to move the things to Zhao Wenhao's home.

"Zhao Erhu, twelve pounds and four ounces."

"Zhao Sanbang, 13.8 jin."

……

"Those who can write, just sign. Those who can't, just put your fingerprints."

It was rare for Zhao Aiguo to be so busy and serious.

There was no other way. He had lost over twenty dollars last night, and even the money he earned from stealing chickens was almost gone. Now he had less than ten dollars on him. If he didn't work, he wouldn't even get the ten dollars he earned today.

"Brother, I'm busy." Zhao Aimin's wife Zhou Li smiled ingratiatingly and pulled two sacks over with great effort. "This is what our family collected. I weighed it at home, and it weighs a total of 54 kilograms."

Zhao Aimin is Zhao Aiguo's younger brother, and Zhou Li is of course his sister-in-law.

But the relationship between the two brothers is not good. They even had a fight a few months ago, and they don't even say a word to each other when they meet.

Now that Zhou Li had delivered the goods, Zhao Aiguo was of course somewhat unhappy. Even when Zhou Li took the initiative to greet him, he seemed to be indifferent.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenhao hurried forward, took the sack next to Zhou Li, and piled it directly next to her. "Auntie, I can't help but believe it. I don't need a scale, it must be 54 kilograms."

After saying that, he took Zhou Li to Wei Chunlan to do the accounts.

At this time, Zhao Wenhao was really afraid that Zhao Aiguo would show his displeasure again, and the relationship that had finally eased would be made worse again.

He knew clearly that his second uncle was very good to their family. Even though he had conflicts with Zhao Aiguo, he was really sincere to their children.

Even if Zhou Li is a bit snobbish, these are minor issues and there is no need to pursue them further.

Seeing Zhao Wenhao behave like this, without even weighing the money and just recording it directly, Zhou Li of course said goodbye happily and left.

As for Zhao Aiguo's rolling eyes, she pretended not to see it.

54 kilograms, the purchase price for others is 6 yuan/kilogram, but Zhao Wenhao privately calculated the price for their family at 8 yuan/kilogram.

This is a full 432 yuan, and the profit is 162 yuan. Of course, she can't go against the money just because of Zhao Aiguo's cold eyes.

"Wenhao, there must be something fishy going on here." Zhao Aiguo was furious and pulled his son aside. "Other people only buy a little over ten kilograms a day, and the most is only about twenty kilograms. But his family got so much. There must be something fishy going on."

Zhao Aiguo didn't know that his son paid 8 yuan per kilogram for his younger brother's family, otherwise he would have been even more angry.

Zhao Wenhao certainly had something fishy going on, but he was confident that his second uncle, Zhao Jianmin, would never do such a thing. Zhou Li must have bought some from other families and sold it to him, profiting from the difference of two yuan.

Zhou Li might really be able to do such a thing.

But Zhao Wenhao didn't intend to care about it. He just wanted his aunt to take advantage of him. As long as she didn't go too far, he would turn a blind eye.

But Zhao Aiguo was very unhappy with his attitude and even clamored to get clarification.

"Are you too idle?" Zhao Wenhao glared. "What's there to worry about between brothers? Just do your job well, and I'll take care of the rest."

"You loser, I'm doing this for your own good. I've eaten more salt than you've walked."

Zhao Aiguo couldn't help but curse again. He felt that he was completely kind-hearted this time and couldn't let others take him down.
