Next, Lu Yuan asked them to show him around their place.
However, Xiwen was a little embarrassed because their house was really too small.
The tent only has enough space for two people; there's no room for more.
They kept ordinary daily necessities under their beds.
Once inside the tent, you could only hunch over; there wasn't even room to put your feet down.
Upon arriving at their location, Lu Yuan saw their miserable living conditions and couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't worry, once I've sorted out the oil issue, I'll resume production immediately. With oil and coal available, we can start building houses on a large scale."
Upon hearing this, Xiwen was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
He longed to provide his wife and children with a more comfortable home, and now that Lu Yuan had solved his problem, he could only think of Lu Yuan; he was truly their savior.
However, Lu Yuan then sighed slightly and prepared to say goodbye to them.
Han Wen had a very sharp eye. She immediately sensed that Lu Yuan probably had something to discuss with them today, and it was definitely not just a casual visit to an old friend. So she called Xi Wen over.
Seeing his wife's cautious demeanor, he sensed that she must have something important to tell him.
So Xiwen leaned closer and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you think it's a bit too sudden that Lu Yuan came to see us today?"
Xiwen nodded: "Yes, it was quite sudden. Did Lao Zhou and the others mention our matter to him?"
Han Wen shook his head slightly: "No, Lao Zhou isn't that kind of person. He doesn't like to talk about other people's business unless it's something particularly important. He doesn't like to gossip behind people's backs, I'm sure of that. I reckon it was Lu Yuan who took the initiative to find Zhou Tong and get our contact information."
Upon hearing this, Xiwen immediately sensed that something was amiss.
"So you mean Brother Lu came to see us today? What brings you here?"
"Yes, otherwise why would he have been talking to us for so long? Look at the huge difference in our status now. He is now the master of the entire camp!"
As for us, if we're just low-level workers, we mean nothing to him right now. So, he's only treating us this way because he sees us in this situation as friends. If we were ordinary people, Lu Yuan probably wouldn't have shown us any more appreciation!
Upon hearing this, Xiwen frowned. What his wives said was indeed reasonable and true, but it stung him. He felt that Han Wen's description of Lu Yuan was too devoid of emotion.
"Why are you saying that? Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Han Wen is definitely a woman with a very good eye for people. After seeing Xi Wen's reaction, she couldn't help but laugh.
"You've lived with me for so long, don't you know my personality? When I say things like this, I'm basically being objective!"
In my mind, Lu Yuan is definitely a good person. He is our friend. How could I gossip about him? It's just the two of us right now.
I only said that when I was talking about this, don't take it to heart. Even if something really goes wrong for us, Lu Yuan would definitely not stand idly by if he knew. He's not that kind of person!
Hearing Han Wen say that, Xi Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he thought of the question the two of them had just mentioned.
"By the way, what do you think Brother Lu wanted to see us about? What's the matter?"
"Perhaps it's about oil, but I can't guess what it is. How about this, after you finish stacking all the remaining bricks, go find Lu Yuan!"
See if he needs any help. We don't have much income right now anyway, so just treat him like a friend. Cash on delivery, help him out and give us some extra income too. Don't be silly and go running over to help him like before, understand?
Hearing his wife make this arrangement, Xiwen felt quite uncomfortable.
"Isn't this a bit too mercenary? Lu Yuan is our brother. He's saved us so many times. Isn't it a bit too hurtful to talk to him about money now? Don't worry about this. I'll handle it myself!"
After saying that, Xiwen ignored Hanwen, picked up his clothes, put them on, and walked out of the camp.
Seeing Xiwen's reaction, Hanwen simply sighed softly, gently stroking her belly and murmuring something.
"Son, with a father like you, you might be in for a rough time in the future!"
He wasn't angry after saying that. He knew Xiwen's temperament and personality too well, and she wouldn't get angry over such a small thing.
And since her hope was genuinely for her brother's sake, she didn't stop him.
It's just a bit of a pity that people are still concerned about so many things at this point. Lu Yuan would never consider so many things. Even if it's his friend, he feels he would offer a very fair price.
He simply didn't want to put Lu Yuan in a difficult position, so he proposed a price that Lu Yuan would feel more comfortable accepting, and didn't want him to owe him a favor.
It was that simple, but Xiwen didn't quite understand. He took these things for granted and assumed that he should do them.
This is perhaps the biggest difference between Hanwen and Xiwen: Hanwen is a rational person, while Xiwen is an emotional person.
Lu Yuan returned to his office and sighed.
He originally planned to tell Hanwen about this, but seeing that she was heavily pregnant, he realized he couldn't continue working.
There are still three months left in the pregnancy period. If we call the other person over to work at this time, it is very likely to tire them out.
So Lu Yuan was too embarrassed to speak up, but it seemed that there were no people in the camp with this kind of talent, which gave him a bit of a headache.
Just then, the voices of soldiers came from outside.
"What are you doing here? Show me your identification. This is the cult leader's office; not just anyone can walk in!"
"I'm Xiwen, I'm here to talk to my older brother about something!"
Lu Yuan was slightly surprised to hear Xiwen's voice.
He quickly got up, opened his door, and called out, "Let Xiwen in!"
The soldier nodded, then took his gun and let them pass.
Xiwen glanced at the two of them, then looked at Lu Yuan's house, and then pushed open the door and went inside.
