Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Zhao Wenhao had never received such treatment before. He had to ask Zhou Li to deliver things to him specially. This is still the sun rising from the west.

However, she was kind-hearted after all. Although Zhao Wenhao was already very full, he did not refuse Zhou Li's kindness. He took the jerky and took a bite.

"Second Aunt, this tastes really good." Zhao Wenhao wrapped the remaining portion in paper, intending to leave it for his sister and younger sister to taste. "You came at the perfect time. I was planning to send you the payment for your goods. Now that you're here, I can save myself the trip."

"Oh, it's okay, it's not that urgent." When he heard that he could get the payment immediately, he felt happy in his heart, but he pretended to be indifferent on his face.

Zhao Wenhao knew Zhou Li was being hypocritical, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he took out his account book and said, "A total of 121 kilograms. According to what we agreed on, the price for your family is 8 yuan per kilogram. So, the total is 968 yuan."

"We are family, why should we be so calculating? This child, really, makes me, her aunt, feel embarrassed."

Although Zhou Li said this, her hands did not hesitate at all and she took the stack of banknotes directly.

Stay safe!

Zhou Li never expected that in less than ten days, she would earn more than 300 yuan. Even workers in the city couldn't possibly earn such a high salary.

If you can do this for a long time, your family will become rich!

Zhou Li certainly hopes to win over her nephew. Otherwise, given his stingy personality, how could he bring the butcher shop here?

"Wenhao, will you continue to collect money later?" Zhou Li asked expectantly after carefully putting the money into her trouser pocket.

"Of course I will. I'll take whatever you have," Zhao Wenhao replied without hesitation. "But the price needs to be adjusted. It can't be calculated at the previous 8 yuan per kilogram."

"Ah? How can this be done!"

When Zhou Li heard that the price was going to be adjusted, she immediately became unhappy. Her face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly became gloomy.

"Wenhao, don't listen to what others say. I asked my family to help collect all this. I didn't do anything behind the scenes. Those people are just gossiping."

Obviously, Zhou Li misunderstood what Zhao Wenhao meant.

She thought that Zhao Wenhao knew that she had bought some Bupleurum from other people at 6 yuan per kilogram, so he wanted to lower the price.

However, she didn't expect that Zhao Wenhao was planning to raise the price for them. When she said this, it seemed like she was trying to cover up the truth.

Zhao Wenhao laughed and didn't take it to heart. "Second Aunt, I plan to buy all of them from you at 9 yuan per kilogram in the future. I'm not trying to force you to lower the price."

"Raise the price?" Zhou Li blushed, feeling somewhat bewildered. "Raise the price for me? Is this true? You can't joke with Second Aunt."

"Alright, it's settled." Zhao Wenhao didn't want to continue to play along with her. "If you have nothing else to do, Second Aunt, go ahead and get it done. The more you collect, the more profit you'll make."

Zhou Li left, happily leaving with this good news.

But more people poured in.

The news of Zhao Wenhao's return spread quickly, and with Wei Chunlan notifying everyone, everyone rushed to cash in their payment for the goods.

This busyness lasted until the evening. Only after everyone's contributions were settled did Zhao Wenhao finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mom, I'm going to sleep first."

The truck ride back from Yangzhou was a bumpy one. After returning, there was no time to relax. Zhao Wenhao was already feeling sleepy, his eyelids drooping.

So, after finishing my meal, I planned to go back to the house to rest.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. Your sister and I are here." Wei Chunlan urged her son with concern.

As for Zhao Aiguo, perhaps because he had just been arrested, he did not go out to play cards this time. Instead, he sat at home and smoked in silence, feeling a little impatient.

There were no deliveries for several days, and Zhao Aiguo lost his ten yuan a day. Although his son still gave him twenty yuan a week as pocket money, he was used to spending lavishly during this period, and it was a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Wenhao knew what he was thinking, so he naturally ignored him. Instead, he went back to the house, covered himself with the quilt, and had a good sleep.

"Brother Ma, won't this really cause any deaths?"

"Don't worry, Crab. As long as the gasoline isn't poured on the front and back doors, they're not fools and will definitely run out."

"That's good. If someone were to die, it would be a big problem."

"Crab, aren't you known as a brave man on the street? Why are you so cowardly now? Let me tell you, my 500 yuan is not easy to take. If I don't do the job well, the money will not go into your pocket."

"Brother Ma, 500 yuan can't buy a life. If something goes wrong, am I going to be on the run with your 500 yuan?"

In the early hours of the morning, the entire Zhaojia Island was plunged into silence except for the occasional barking of a dog or two.

At this time, not far from Zhao Wenhao's backyard, two black shadows were hiding behind a thick pine tree, looking towards the house.

Not only that, each of them was holding a bucket of gasoline in their hands, and it was obvious that they came here to set fire to the house.

"Stop talking nonsense, Crab. You start from the back door and I'll go to the front door. Just do as we agreed before, and I won't treat you unfairly afterwards." Brother Ma was a little impatient and stopped Crab from continuing.

After saying that, without waiting for the crab to respond, Ma Ge bent down, walked around the house and headed towards the front yard.

The so-called front yard is surrounded by a fence, and it is easy to enter the yard.

Ma Ge swiftly lifted the fence from the corner and slipped in. Looking at the familiar house in front of him, his face couldn't help but show a fierce look.

"Zhao Wenhao, I'll collect some interest today, and then I'll teach you a lesson later."

According to his inner thoughts, he really wanted to pour gasoline directly on the front and back doors, and then pour it all around, so that the whole family would burn to death inside.

But he still had a little bit of rationality after all. Those were the lives of a family of five. Such a major case would definitely shock the entire county or even the entire city.

If such a scene were to happen, the police would definitely treat it as a top priority case. In that case, it would not be easy to escape responsibility.

Ma Ge no longer hesitated, picked up the gasoline barrel, and poured it towards the wall, including the roof.

"Crack!"

A match was lit, illuminating a hideous face.

"Come on, let's just set off a perfect firework display!"

The match was flicked onto the wall by the finger, and with a "bang", the entire wall, roof and even the kitchen next door were filled with sparks.
