Chapter 52 Suspension of Work
"Boss, are you okay?"
When Little Lai Tou and Li Jiazhi saw Zhou Dalai running away, they hurriedly followed him.
"Are you two blind? Can't you see that my head is bleeding from being hit by that crazy woman?"
"Boss, let's go find a young doctor to bandage you up, shall we?"
The little bald head asked in a very flattering way, and two people helped Zhou Dalai to the young doctor's house.
After a simple bandage, he returned home and saw many cars loaded with Acanthopanax senticosus rods parked in front of his house.
Seeing Zhou Dalai coming back, someone came up to him with a smile.
"Zhou Qing, I heard you also buy Acanthopanax senticosus stems, six cents a pound?"
"Yes, yes, six cents a pound."
Seeing so many cars, all green, immediately wiped away the bad luck on Zhou Dalai's face.
"Zhou Qing,"
Hearing this, someone came over and asked carefully with a smile on his face,
"Is it cash? Did you steal cash from that little fool?"
"Cash, cash, what are you two still looking at? Hurry up and weigh them. Hurry up, hurry up."
In this way, Xiao Laitou and Li Jiazhi were busy weighing the goods for others, while Zhou Dalai's wife was keeping track of the bill. It was a bit awkward when Zhou Dalai paid the bill.
He was so focused on getting the goods that he forgot to exchange them for change at the bank. Now he was holding a handful of money and looked at everyone who was a little embarrassed and said with a smile,
"Everyone, I'm sorry, you have seen the money in my hand, it's all big bills.
Tomorrow, I'll go to town early in the morning to change the money and then settle the bill for everyone, okay?"
The person who had just weighed the money felt regretful when he saw that Zhou Dalai was unable to get the money.
Although Zhou Dalai was smiling from beginning to end today, everyone knew that he was trying to cover up the situation in order to collect the Acanthopanax pole.
But once it turns against you, this thing will immediately bare its ferocious fangs and bite you.
"Okay then, we'll come back tomorrow to get the money."
Upon hearing this, those who did not weigh themselves immediately turned their cars around and headed outside.
"Hi, hi hi hi..."
When the little bald head saw that the people behind him were not going in, he raised his hand and shouted,
"What are you doing, coming here to be weighed?"
When Zhou Dalai saw someone pushing a cart secretly outside, he sneered.
He casually stuffed the money in his hand into his wife's hand and stood up.
"Dad, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."
Although Zhou Qing's wife was extremely afraid of her man, at least he was doing something serious this time, so naturally she didn't want him to cause any more trouble.
"Why? Are you afraid that I, Zhou Dalai, won't pay you?"
After hearing what his wife said, Zhou Dalai was smart. He quickly concealed his unhappiness, put on a hypocritical mask and stopped those who were about to leave.
"Everyone, since you don't trust me, Zhou Dalai, I'll give you the money first.
If you don't have change, then give me the whole amount. If you give more, I'll deduct it from the payment tomorrow. If you give less, you can give it all at once when you come tomorrow. How about that?"
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Upon hearing this, everyone cheered and turned the car around and pushed it in again.
Xu Huimin sat at the table in the yard and looked at the fact that only a dozen trucks of Eleutherococcus senticosus stems arrived that night. She couldn't help but start to worry.
"Sister Huimin, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Han Changping still had that indifferent expression, Xu Huimin became even more worried.
"What should we do, Xiao Si? We've already collected more than a dozen truckloads of Eleutherococcus senticosus this evening. If this continues, will we really have to shut down?"
"If we have to stop working, then we can stop working. It's so hot, and I can't stand having to stay by the cauldron all the time."
"Xiao Si, if we stop working, aren't you really afraid that Zhou Dalai will poach your people?"
"Sister Huimin, don't think too much. As I said before, if it's my, Han Changping's, then naturally no one can take it away.
If it's not my fortune, then no matter how much I plan, it will all be in vain. Okay, okay, that's it for today, and you should go back and rest early."
"well!"
Xu Huimin sighed softly, stood up, tidied up the things on the table and went home.
For three consecutive days, Zhou Dalai was busy harvesting Acanthopanax senticosus.
Only a few families in the village who had a deep hatred for him had to come to Han Changping to sell their meat for five cents per pound.
"Xiao Si, how about we charge six cents too?"
Seeing that there was no more Acanthopanax senticosus root paste, Wang Zhisheng came over to discuss it with Han Changping.
"Brother, tell everyone that they don't have to stay up late tonight. It's time to go home and rest.
Also, tell everyone not to worry. Even if you take a break, I, Han Changping, will still pay everyone their wages on a monthly basis."
"Xiao Si, what about you?"
"Second brother, just tell everyone."
Han Changping didn't explain much and stood up and walked into the house.
Holding the protein powder and milk powder exchanged from the system, Han Changping walked towards home.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard my father, Teacher Wang Zhilin, talking to my mother.
"Zhou Dalai's return to the village this time is quite significant. I heard that one of his brothers is quite powerful in the city.
I gave him money and asked him to come back and collect Acanthopanax senticosus stems to make ointment. I think our Xiao Si has met his match this time.
I've noticed that not many people are delivering goods to him these past few days. If this continues, won't his business go bankrupt?"
After waiting for a day, Han Changping received a call from Wang Shigui. It turned out that the matter was really not simple.
Zhou Dalai actually has a cousin who works at the city's Drug Administration. Even this cousin, who is a leader, has heard that boiling Acanthopanax senticosus ointment is very profitable.
Zhou Dalai was immediately taken out of the detention center and sent back to do this business.
"Second sister, I'm back."
Before entering the house, Han Changping deliberately shouted outside.
Wang Zhilin, who was still talking non-stop, stopped immediately and saw his silly brother-in-law walking in with a lot of things.
"Second sister, how are you feeling today?"
"You kid, you bought so many things again. These past few days, you've been eating chicken and pork. You've made your second sister gain a lot of weight."
Han Yuemei was exaggerating a bit when she said she had gained weight, but her complexion had indeed become rosier, and even her energy and spirit had improved a lot.
"Xiao Si, why aren't you angry yet?"
Wang Zhilin snatched the things from Han Changping's hand and put them on a box on the side.
"My second brother-in-law thought you were so smart, but since this thing is so profitable, you should also sell it for six cents a pound!
At only six cents a pound, the villagers will sell it to you instead of to that Zhou Dalai."
"Yeah, Xiao Si took away so many buckets last time, didn't you say he made over 10,000 yuan in one go?
You kid, since you make so much money, why are you reluctant to spend this little money?"
Han Yuemei also looked at her silly brother anxiously and said,
"Listen to your second brother-in-law and let's buy it tomorrow at six cents a pound."
