But what came into view was a strange man. The man was probably a bit older, but he looked quite energetic. Hu Wangfu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out that he knew this man, let alone that he had a close relationship with him.

"Who are you? Did you save me?" Hu Wangfu's first thought was that this person must be the one who rescued him: "Are you a policeman?"

Faced with Hu Wangfu's three questions, the man smiled.

“I’m not a police officer, but don’t worry, those who kidnapped you and tried to gouge out your eyes should be caught by the police soon. I called the police after I rescued you.”

"You're lucky. When I came in, they were just about to gouge out your second eye, but I stopped them. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have been able to keep your second eye either."

The man didn't hide the fact that he had saved Hu Wangfu.

"Thank you so much, you are my great benefactor. From now on, my life, Hu Wangfu's life, is yours." Hu Wangfu struggled to get off the bed and wanted to kowtow to the man.

For no other reason than that someone saved his eye, he deserves to be grateful.

Having experienced the despair that makes one wish for death, how could he not be joyful and grateful to find that not only has his life been saved, but he can still see?

"No need to thank me, I was just helping out when I saw injustice. I've been keeping an eye on that illegal hospital for a long time." The man waved his hand, not taking the matter to heart.

As he spoke, he stood up and looked at the watch on his left wrist.

"It's getting late, and I have to go now. I've already deposited enough money into your hospital account to cover your wounds. So just stay here until you're fully healed before you leave."

Upon hearing this, Hu Wangfu immediately straightened up. From the man's words, he understood that the man intended to leave.

At the same time, knowing how thoughtful the man had been in doing things for him, he felt even more grateful.

He said anxiously, “My benefactor, what is your name? I will definitely repay your great kindness today!”

The man didn't say much; clearly, he didn't take Hu Wangfu's talk of future repayment to heart. Or perhaps he simply didn't care.

He said calmly, "You don't need to know my name. I'm just passing through here, and I may not come back again. Maybe we'll meet again someday."

After saying that, the man turned around and walked out of the ward.

As Hu Wangfu watched the man leave, his one remaining eye firmly memorized the man's appearance and features. He would remember this man for the rest of his life, and repay his debt of gratitude.

Because they truly saved him from the clutches of death, he would repay them for any chance he had in the future.

......

In the Qunyi Brigade, Hu Dahai has already stored 7 kilograms of silver in his storage space. This amount of silver is estimated to be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. Fortunately, his storage space is calculated by volume, not weight, so there is enough room for him to store any more silver for the time being.

Therefore, Hu Dahai did not plan to immediately exchange the silver in his hands for cash. He could exchange it when needed, which would be perfectly feasible.

Meanwhile, with the gradual increase in the production of wood ear fungus, and the simultaneous availability of both black and white wood ear fungus, the wood ear fungus business is now significantly more profitable than before.

Of course, what Hu Dahai cares about more is his new house, whose framework has already been completed.

When Hu Dahai learned of this news, he made a special trip to the new house to take a look.

When he arrived, Bao Chengguo was frantically mixing concrete.

Bao Chengguo felt that he was taking Hu Dahai's money, so he tried his best to save Hu Dahai as much money as possible.

Thinking that it would save them the cost of one less worker, Bao Chengguo would voluntarily help them out.

On the shelf, Hu Guanbao was also working as a laborer for the bricklayers, helping them transport concrete.

Upon seeing Hu Dahai arrive, Bao Chengguo and Hu Guanbao immediately put down their work and came over to greet him.

"father."

"Uncle Dahai!"

The two of them, one on each side, followed Hu Dahai as they walked around the house.

When the house was in the blueprint stage, the two of them were very curious as to why they wanted to build such a strange-looking house. Wouldn't it be better to build a two-story bungalow?

But now that the framework has been built, Bao Chengguo and Hu Guanbao are full of admiration. Even the bare shell of the house looks very beautiful, which is truly admirable.

It's fair to say that this house is unlike anything they've ever seen, not only in their village, but also in the entire county and even the city.

The three walked and talked, with Hu Dahai constantly suggesting new directions.

"Dad, are you planning to paint this wall white or just use a muddy yellow mud?"

Hu Guanbao thought of something and asked Hu Dahai.

"The wall?"

At this moment, Hu Dahai realized that he had forgotten about this matter.

"Let's use granite for the walls."

Hu Dahai quickly replied.

"What?"

Bao Chengguo and Hu Guanbao were both stunned.

"Dad, what is granite?" Hu Guanbao asked curiously. He had never heard of granite before in all his life.

When they build houses here, the exterior is basically just painted white or plastered with cement. There aren't even people who lay tiles, let alone granite.

Normally, people would just put some terrazzo on the floor inside the house.

Hu Dahai didn't know how to explain, so he could only say, "Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it myself. These plasterers probably won't be able to handle the granite plastering."

If he remembers correctly, granite cannot be laid directly on the surface; it is dry-hanging.

That day, after Hu Dahai left.

Hu Guanbao and Bao Chengguo were both somewhat frustrated.

I thought it was amazing that they could build such a beautiful house, but I never expected them to be so useless, not even understanding a word about granite.

Hu Dahai, after leaving the new house, immediately headed to Hangzhou.

He had never seen a shop selling granite in Hangzhou, because no granite seller would open their shop in a busy area. They usually operate on a factory-plus-shop model, finding a factory by the roadside and setting up a shop at the factory entrance.

This way, they can sell their products while also processing orders in their own factory.

However, Hu Dahai remembered that when he visited Huang Renfa's house last time, he saw that the floor of Huang Renfa's house was paved with granite.

So he thought he should ask Huang Renfa where he bought his granite.

When he arrived at Huang Renfa's house, only Huang Renfa's wife was home. She was surprised to see Hu Dahai: "Oh, it's Dahai! It's so rare for you to come to our house."

She politely invited Hu Dahai into the house.

"Is Mr. Huang home?" Hu Dahai replied with a smile.

Huang Renfa's wife shook her head: "No, Lao Huang is out negotiating a new business deal today and won't be back until tonight."

"Everyone in the family is incredibly busy right now. My daughter Xiaoya, I don't know how, started a clothing business, and I heard it's booming. She's even booked an entire production line in the clothing factory."

"I'm the only one at home every day, doing cleaning and cooking when I have nothing to do."
