Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

In front of everyone, Zhao Wenhao was unwilling to argue with his father and make a fool of himself in front of outsiders.

So he just walked away, leaving Zhao Aiguo alone to rage and rage.

Seeing that Zhao Wenhao no longer paid attention to him, Zhao Aiguo didn't know where to vent his anger and could only give up for the time being.

That evening, Wei Chunlan handed the statistical data to her son again, a total of 329 kilograms.

Obviously, after a day of fermentation, most of the villagers have actively run out to purchase Bupleurum. After all, there is a precedent of purchasing honeysuckle, and no one wants to miss such an opportunity to make a small fortune.

As for Zhao Aiguo, he once again earned 10 yuan in hard work fees from his son, and also stuffed a bag of Ashima into his pocket. He was so happy that he went out to fool around again.

In this way, after five consecutive days, Zhao Wenhao had purchased a total of 1650 kilograms of Bupleurum.

"Wenhao, why don't you sell some of it first? I'm really worried about having so much of it piled up at home. It's worth tens of thousands of dollars. If the price drops, I'll lose a lot of money."

Looking at the more than ten sacks piled up in the yard, Wei Chunlan looked worried.

"Don't worry, Mom. I know what's going on." Zhao Wenhao said nonchalantly, "Last time I went to Yangzhou, I already made an agreement with them. Several stores need at least 2000 kilograms. Once we have enough, I'll haul it over."

Zhao Wenhao had made plans long ago. Besides, it was impossible for him to get so many goods to Yangzhou by himself.

He was waiting for the contacted truck to arrive.

After negotiating the fruit purchase with Zhao Yuanchao, he contacted Xiang Zhifeng and asked him to help arrange a truck to load the goods.

As for the expenses, they will be borne by the village.

At that time, he would take a ride and take these herbs directly to Xuanzhou, and then ship them to Yangzhou from Xuanzhou Railway Station.

After so many visits, he had become quite familiar with the people at the Xuanzhou Railway Station's consignment office. Every time he went there, he would always be drinking and smoking, and treating them to a meal.

Moreover, since this was the first time for Zhao Wenhao to cooperate with Xuanzhou Food Processing Factory, he had to take Zhao Yuanchao to get to know the factory and introduce the two parties to each other.

Seeing that her son had already made plans, Wei Chunlan was speechless. She herself was indecisive, and now that her son was in charge of all matters at home, she was happy that her life was getting better day by day.

That evening, there was another busy period. Zhao Aiguo happily took the 10 yuan note he had received and stayed out all night again.

"Boom, bang, bang..."

In the early hours of the morning, there was a sudden and hurried knock on the gate of the courtyard.

"Who is it? What time is it?"

Wei Chunlan rubbed her eyes and looked at the pillow. Zhao Aiguo had not returned yet.

The courtyard door was not locked tightly. If it was Zhao Aiguo, he would have pushed the door open and walked in. Since he was knocking on the door, he must be an outsider.

Wei Chunlan put on her clothes, walked out of the house and came into the yard.

"Aunt Chunlan, something happened. Uncle Aiguo was arrested by the police!" A young man shouted panickedly outside the courtyard gate.

Upon hearing this, Wei Chunlan, who had been relatively calm, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Then, crying sounds were heard, and Zhao Wenhao's name was shouted loudly.

At this time, Wei Chunlan was already at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Zhao Wenhao had already woken up when someone knocked on the door. When he heard Wei Chunlan crying, he was startled and quickly put on his clothes and ran out of the house.

Not only him, but Zhao Wenjing also came out.

"Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"

Unfortunately, Wei Chunlan only knew that Zhao Aiguo was arrested by the police, but she knew nothing about the specific circumstances.

Zhao Wenhao hurriedly helped Wei Chunlan up from the ground, and asked Zhao Wenjing to open the gate.

The person who came was Zhao Xiaoliang from the same village.

"Xiaoliang, what's going on?"

"Uncle Aiguo was playing cards with my dad and a few others tonight. Just now, a group of police officers suddenly showed up and arrested all five of them." Zhao Xiaoliang explained the situation clearly in one breath without further ado. "You guys figure out a solution quickly. I still need to notify the other families."

Zhao Xiaoliang was about to leave when Zhao Wenhao grabbed him.

"Don't leave yet. At least tell me if it was our town police station or someone else who arrested him, so we know where to look for him!"

"I don't know if it's the police station in our town. They ignored me. But the two people from the joint defense team are from our town. I have seen them before." Zhao Xiaoliang looked bitter. His father was among them and was also taken away.

"What the hell, I told him not to gamble, but he just wouldn't listen. Now he's been arrested by the police. How are we, an orphan and a widow, going to survive?"

Wei Chunlan's tears and snot flowed down her face, and her hands did not stop beating her chest, feeling like the sky was falling.

In Wei Chunlan's heart, although her husband is not very ambitious, he is still the pillar of the family. Without him, this family would not be a family.

After hearing what Zhao Xiaoliang said, Zhao Wenhao felt secretly relieved.

He thought it was a big deal, just a gambling arrest. With their limited capital, at most they would be detained for a few days, fined, and released. What was the big deal?

Zhao Wenhao even secretly hoped that the police would detain Zhao Aiguo for a few more days to teach him a lesson. He stayed out all night every day, what a mess he'd become!

"Mom, don't worry, it's just gambling, it won't do anything to them."

Seeing Wei Chunlan still sitting on the ground crying and wailing, Zhao Wenhao could only go forward to comfort her.

But Wei Chunlan remained unmoved. In her opinion, being arrested by the police would be a painful experience for anyone. Moreover, Zhao Aiguo, who always preferred leisure and disliked work, could not endure such hardship.

"Mom, it's the dead of night. Even if you want to find someone to help you, you can't do it now." Zhao Wenhao was helpless and could only continue to comfort her, "Don't worry, I will definitely find someone tomorrow and find a way to get him out."

Upon hearing her son's words, Wei Chunlan quickly wiped away her tears and anxiously sat up from the ground, "Really? Wenhao, you can't lie to me. Can you really find someone to help?"

"Don't worry, I will find a way."

Zhao Wenhao rubbed his brows. He really didn't want to ask for help. But Wei Chunlan looked like this. How could he feel at ease?

As for Zhao Aiguo, he didn't want to bother with him. It would be best if he stayed in the police station for a few more days, so that he could have a taste of what it was like.

"Sister, help Mom in first. It's late at night, and there's a lot of chaos going on. It's really worrying."

Zhao Wenhao sighed inwardly, and at the same time his resentment towards Zhao Aiguo increased.
