Hu Xiawen and Ding Xin's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"nice!"

Recently, the two of them have made a lot of money by delivering bricks from Hu Wangfu's adoptive father's house to Li Hongyan's construction site.

None of them were honest and law-abiding. With Hu Wangmei's help, the four of them might have hauled thirty cartloads, but two would have been counted as less.

That car is their net profit, and everyone will share the profits.

Hu Xiawen and his gang were even more outrageous. Not only did they often smuggle in their own goods, but they would also take a few bricks from each truckload and replace them with broken bricks, pretending they were broken during the road, so they could make a profit from it.

Upon hearing Hu Wangfu's analysis, Hu Xiawen was immediately intrigued.

If we could invest all their money in meat, and then sell the meat later, they would have even more money, bringing them one step closer to buying a car.

Hu Wangfu and Hu Wangmei were even more unable to find a reason to refuse.

After all, who the hell would complain about having too much money?

The four men immediately agreed: "In that case, let's do something big."

After planning and deliberation, they decided to invest their own money while withholding a portion of the payment for the goods.

Because their brick-dealing business involved the three parties jointly renting a second-hand, dilapidated truck and having Ding Xin act as a middleman for transportation.

They bought bricks in Ding Xin's name and then sold them to Li Hongyan's construction site in Ding Xin's name.

Therefore, all the money was first paid by Li Hongyan to Ding Xin, and then Ding Xin paid the brick factory. It was indeed possible to manipulate things a little in the process.

"We'll tell the factory we're two weeks behind. I estimate that two weeks should be enough time for us to buy the pork and resell it," Hu Wangfu calculated.

Although Hu Xiawen and his group were reluctant, since they always thought that the longer they held the price, the higher it would rise and the more they would earn, they did not refuse after thinking about it and all nodded in agreement.

So the four of them immediately got to work: one was responsible for finding a cold storage facility, one for finding a way to keep the money, and one for selling the meat.

As the saying goes, if you have money, you'll find a way.

They quickly found a cold storage facility in Shaoxing and successfully purchased a large quantity of meat, which they then stored in the cold storage.

On the day they spent all the available funds on meat, the four of them had a good celebration at the state-run restaurant.

"Hahaha, Wang Fu and Wang Mei, now we're going to make a fortune!"

Hu Xiawen was overjoyed. After drinking some wine, he excitedly said...

Hu Wangmei also drank a little, and her face was round and red. She had made a lot of money recently, and she spent most of it on food and clothing. She ate at high-end restaurants and wore expensive clothes.

She wouldn't even glance at roadside stalls anymore.

She was already thinking that if she made money this time, she would have enough to buy a motorcycle.

As for bicycles? Sorry, she didn't even consider them a good fit.

And it was while they were eating and drinking that...

At Hu Wangfu's adoptive parents' home.

His adoptive father, Hua Fuyou, had a somewhat gloomy expression. In front of him was an account book with some contents clearly recorded on it.

Upon closer inspection, however, there seemed to be a hint of joy in Hua Fuyou's eyes.

“Dad, I noticed something was wrong with Wangfu a while ago. He seems to have lost interest in studying lately, so I kept a close eye on him. He’s been taking a lot of money out of our house recently.”

“He thought I couldn’t see these things clearly, but I was perfectly clear-headed and had already noticed the abnormality. I just couldn’t see it clearly, not that I was blind.”

"It's only because my eyesight is bad that he dares to bully me like this. If my eyesight were good, I would never let him succeed!"

Hu Wangfu's brother, Hua Qizhong, said indignantly, his words filled with a sense of humiliation and anger.

Seeing this, Hua Fuyou suppressed his unhappiness and comforted Hua Qizhong, saying, "Qizhong, it's alright, don't be angry. We know more about this than you do."

"Trust me, Dad. I'll make sure you see it someday."

"As for your brother's matter, don't overthink it. It's not worth your time. One day, he will pay the price for his actions."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qi sighed and said dejectedly, "Dad, don't try to comfort me. I know my situation perfectly well. Who would give me his cornea? If they did, he would go blind."

"Don't worry, Qizhong." Hua Fuyou patted Hua Qizhong on the shoulder and comforted him earnestly, "The world is so big, maybe someone will suddenly give you their cornea."

"You go ahead and do your thing, I'll talk to your mother for a bit more."

Hua Qizhong went out, leaving Hua Fuyou and Hua Qizhong sitting in the room.

"Qi Zhong has gone far away, hasn't he?" Hua Fuyou walked to the door and checked again.

"You know what, after Wang Fu has been at home for so long, I've actually grown attached to him. I'm a little reluctant to let him go," Hua Fuyou's wife said, her eyes slightly red.

Hua Fuyou scolded in a low voice: "Womanly compassion! You really want to keep Hu Wangfu, such a treacherous and cunning person? Look at what he's done, he'll squander all our family's money sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Fuyou's wife also composed herself somewhat: "This child is really too much. We've been so good to him, how could he do something like this?"

"It's alright." Hua Fuyou stuffed all the documents on the table into the drawer and locked it. "The sins he committed now will be the foundation for our confidence to face the consequences without guilt in the future."

“If he had always been well-behaved and sensible, I don’t know how I would have coerced him into donating his corneas to Qiji!” Hua Fuyou’s wife said helplessly, “Now that he’s not doing well, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

Silence fell once again inside the room.

The cold wind suddenly picked up and blew into the room through the cracks in the window, causing a hospital diagnosis report on the table to flutter.

The next few days were relatively calm. Except for the fact that pork was still in very short supply in the market, everything else seemed no different from usual.

"Brother Dahai." That day, Wang Jian rode his bicycle to Hu Dahai's house.

Because he frequently needed to report to Hu Dahai, after accumulating some money, he didn't hesitate to buy a bicycle. Money didn't matter; the main thing was that he needed to tell Hu Dahai any important news as soon as possible.

"Hmm?" Hu Dahai knew that Wang Jian had come because he must have some news.

Sure enough, Wang Jian looked around to make sure no one was watching, and got straight to the point: "Brother Dahai, Hu Wangfu and his gang have been making a lot of noise lately."

"It seems that Li Hongyan started collecting pork on a large scale, so Hu Xiawen also took Hu Wangfu and Hu Wangmei to collect pork together."

"Moreover, as far as I know, part of the money Hu Wangfu used was embezzled from their factory's payment for goods."

Wang Jian paused, then added, "The amount of money involved was substantial. Someone with discerning eyes could probably tell with a little investigation."

"I suspect that Hu Wangfu's adoptive parents must have discovered something."

Hu Dahai listened to Wang Jian's words calmly, without any significant change in emotion.

He simply said, "Oh."

Wang Jian was stunned: This... is this how a father should react? It doesn't make sense, there are two children with the surname Hu there.

However, Wang Jian quickly regained his composure and said to Hu Dahai, "There's something else. Our people have only heard about it and aren't sure, so I don't know whether I should say it or not."
