Chapter 279 Waiting

Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan looked at each other and could probably guess the purpose of Chu Dashan's visit.

Before the cowhide box is opened, you can't say too much to Chu Dashan.

When Mu Chenze and his wife walked into the main room, Chu Dashan was eating an apple in big bites.

Click, click, click...

Chu Dashan smiled awkwardly after seeing them. "It's been a while since I've had such delicious apples. I'm a little greedy, so..."

Pointed to the apple core in the spittoon.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, three apple cores.

Including the one in Chu Dashan's hand, this was already the fourth one. "Uncle Chu, I'm not sorry for the apples, but you can't eat them like this. My stomach can't handle it."

Chu Dashan disagreed, "I heard eating apples is good for the stomach. Eating more will naturally be better."

Chu Xuan didn't want to waste any more time talking. "Whatever you want! When you go to the toilet, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Chu Dashan chuckled, "I won't eat the remaining half for now. I'll take it home and eat it tonight. Tell me first, what should I do next?"

As he spoke, the remaining half of the apple in his hand went into his shirt pocket.

Mu Chenze whispered, "I can't tell you what to do next until at least tonight. Go home and rest for a few hours."

Chu Dashan stood up, looking cheerful. "Okay, I'll come back tonight. Tell everyone I'm here to discuss buying the yard with you two. You're asking for 60,000 yuan, and I want to buy it for 6,000 yuan."

Mu Chenze and his wife nodded in agreement.

After watching Chu Dashan leave, Mu Chenze went to talk to Qin Mahua, and Chu Xuan returned to the bedroom to rest.

Qin Mahua was kneading dough in the kitchen, preparing to steam chopped green onion leavened oil pancakes.

Mu Chenze washed his hands and walked forward while rolling up his sleeves. "Mom, let me knead the dough."

Qin Mahua waved her hands repeatedly, "No need. You've been tired all night, I don't want to let you work anymore. Tell me! What did you dig out?"

Mu Chenze whispered to her.

Her eyes widened in shock. She had never expected that digging for a gold bar would involve unknown dangers.

Fortunately, my son was alert.

Mu Chenze didn't want his mother to worry too much, so he quickly diverted her attention.

"Mom, let me tell you something. After I deliver the goods to the city, I want to partner with Lin Yong to buy some New Year's goods and sell them back in the county..."

Before he could finish, Qin Mahua gently interrupted, "All losses and gains are yours."

"Mom, you are the best mom in the world! I asked my eldest brother about it, and he said he had to go to his father-in-law's house to help out and didn't have time to sell New Year's goods."

Qin Mahua looked relieved. No matter what good things happened, her youngest son would think of his elder brother.

"He usually doesn't have time to help his father-in-law. So, while he's free now, he should help if he can! If you bring this up to him and he gives up on it, he and your sister-in-law won't be too embarrassed to be jealous of you when you make money in the future."

"My elder brother and his wife will never be jealous. When I make money, they will only be happy for me."

"Exactly. I'm so happy for you!"

After saying this, Qin Mahua chased Mu Chenze back to the house to rest.

Because she knew digging a hole was tiring.

Her son didn't want to talk about the specific things, so she didn't force him.

At this moment, Chu Dashan has returned home.

He walked into the kitchen, took out the remaining half of the apple from his pocket, put it on the chopping board, picked up the kitchen knife, and carefully cut off the bitten part.

He put down the kitchen knife, held half an apple and went to the bedroom to find Widow Qiu.

"Qiu Mei, I brought you half a big apple."

Widow Autumn was knitting woolen socks. When she heard that there were big apples to eat, she immediately put down her work and took it.

"It's really hard to find apples this big. Where did you get them..."

"I got it from Mu Chenze's house and brought it back especially for you. He might have bought it from the city. This quality is sometimes not available even if you have money."

Widow Qiu was about to eat the apple when she glanced at Chu Dashan and said, "Brother Dashan, you eat first."

Chu Dashan said cheerfully, "I've eaten, you should eat now!"

"Okay." Widow Qiu finally ate her apple in peace. As she ate, she continued, "Mu Chenze is willing to treat you with apples. Does that mean that your negotiations to buy the yard went smoothly?"

"It's not going well. They won't lower the price. After dinner tonight, I'll go back to their house to grind it. If an iron rod can be ground into a needle, I don't believe they can't grind it down to a lower price!"

"I support you! Brother Dashan, will we really get rich if we buy Chu Xuan's family's yard?"

"It should be! That yard has good feng shui!"

Chu Dashan didn't intend to tell the truth. After all, in his opinion, women are not very careful with their mouths.

Widow Qiu pointed to the wool socks and said, "These socks are almost done. Wear them when you go out tonight."

"Good! Qiu Mei, you are so nice to me!"

Chu Dashan said this, but he was not sure in his heart whether Qiu Mei would still be nice to him when he didn't have so much money.

At this moment, a voice came from the village office loudspeaker, "Chu Dashan, come to the village office to answer the phone."

Chu Dashan was nervous, worried that it was that person calling.

I have to go and answer it.

Say hello to Widow Qiu and walk towards the village office.

I told myself that if it really was that person calling, I must not reveal my identity.

When I arrived at the village office, I took several deep breaths before walking in.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Li Lai, a newcomer on his first day at the company, he sat by the phone and waited.

Less than a minute later, my stomach started to hurt and I wanted to go to the toilet.

"Xiao Li, excuse me! Do you have toilet paper? I have a stomachache."

Li Lai was a generous man. He patted the three pieces of toilet paper in his hand and said, "Go!"

"Thanks."

Five minutes later, Chu Dashan walked out of the toilet and scooped half a bucket of water from the water tank to wash his hands.

As soon as I walked into the office again, the phone rang.

Chu Dashan ran over to answer the call.

My heart was trembling with fear, but I tried to remain calm on the surface, "Hey..."

Feng Shuai's voice came from the phone, "Chu Dashan, this is Feng Shuai."

Chu Dashan's heartbeat instantly returned to normal, and he realized that the newcomer, Xiao Li, didn't know Feng Shuai, otherwise he would have told him who was calling when he walked in. "Feng Shuai! What's going on?"

"Chu Zhi was beaten up and is hospitalized in the county town. He urgently needs 200 yuan for hospitalization. Can you lend it to him first? His sister will send someone to deliver the money tomorrow..."

"No! I have nothing to do with him anymore! I wouldn't care if he died outside!"

Chu Dashan hung up the phone directly.

Li Lai said politely, "You may not know since you just arrived, but Chu Zhi and I have long severed our father-son relationship. If he or Feng Shuai wants to call me in the future, remember not to ask me to come over to answer the phone."

Li Lai looked apologetic and said, "I'm so sorry! I made you come here for nothing and made you angry."

Chu Dashan smiled and waved his hand, "I don't blame you. After a while, you will know the specific situation of every household in the village. I'm leaving!"

After Li Lai watched Chu Dashan leave, a hint of an unknown smile flashed across his eyes.

He muttered softly, "This old man is so cruel that he can ignore Chu Zhi..."

On his way home, Chu Dashan's heart suddenly started beating faster. He cursed himself inwardly. It wasn't that person calling, so why was he so nervous?

We have to catch that guy as soon as possible.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Chenze went to the dock to collect high-end fish and still hired Lin Yong's car.

After delivering the goods to the city and settling the payment, Mu Chenze told Lin Yong to wait for him in the car for a while, and then he found a public telephone booth to contact Min Yi.

Min Yi told him to go to a yard in the suburbs to pick up something and meet him.

He immediately thought of what to take.
