These days, Tiger is busy building a new house.
Because the whole village disliked his family, they had to hire people from other villages to build their new house.
They lived in Li Baotian's old house, where people would come and vandalize it from time to time. So the family simply stayed at home most of the time, except when they went to check on the progress of the new house.
After all, going out would only invite disdain.
On this day, Tiger went to check on the progress of the house as usual. As soon as he got near the new house, he heard the workers discussing something.
"Li Weidong is really capable!"
"That's right! They made money from Moutai liquor, they made money growing mushrooms, and now they're making a fortune as a liquor distributor. You have to say they're lucky!"
"We have so many wines and spirits, how come he was so lucky to choose Kongfujia? If I had known this wine would be so popular, I would have become a distributor too!"
"Come on! Where did you get that kind of insight? If you ask me, Li Weidong isn't just lucky, he clearly has good judgment and ability!"
"Exactly, exactly. Other people's sons are so capable, why is my son so disappointing?"
The group discussed things as they worked.
Tiger was startled and rushed forward, shouting, "What kind of agency are you talking about?!"
"you do not know?"
A man said with some doubt: "Kongfu Family Wine! The advertisement is broadcast on CCTV-1, the whole country knows about it!"
"Now even young children know that when buying wine, you should buy Kongfu Family Wine."
As he spoke, he mimicked the mannerisms of a TV commercial: "Kongfu Family Wine makes you homesick."
"You haven't heard of such a famous advertisement?"
Even if you don't have a TV at home, you can still watch it outside when you go to the market!
Tiger shook his head: "No, what's wrong with Li Weidong?"
"He's an agent for Kongfu Family Wine!"
The man was even more surprised: "Now the news has spread far and wide. The wine is selling well, and he, as the big distributor, is making money that he can't even imagine."
The people next to him nodded in agreement, looking on with envy: "If I had his good eye, I wouldn't be here doing manual labor building houses."
Tiger then remembered that Li Weidong had been a liquor distributor before the New Year, and his face turned deathly pale.
At that time, he knew that Li Weidong had become a liquor distributor, and he even mocked him for it.
After all, that Kongfu Family Wine is a small, unknown brand. Becoming an agent for it is like throwing money down the drain.
Who would have thought that this liquor would become so popular just over the New Year?!
The more Tiger thought about it, the uglier his face became, and a feeling of jealousy he had never felt before welled up deep in his heart.
Why should I?!
Why is it that Li Weidong succeeds at everything he does, but he fails at everything he does?
Not only are they not making any money, but they're also drowning in debt and have offended everyone in the village. Now they don't even have a place to live!
"Boss, you don't look well. Are you sick?"
The workers' voices brought Hu Zi back to reality.
Tiger didn't even glance at him before turning and walking away.
The workers were completely bewildered.
What's wrong with him?
"Who knows! I heard he doesn't have a very good reputation in the village."
"That's right! They took people to grow mushrooms before, then went back on their word about the agreed price, and even reported that the villagers had dug up antiques!"
"If he had a good reputation, would he be able to hire people from other villages to build his house? Forget it, let's just get paid for our work, why say so much?"
The group chatted as they continued building the house.
Hearing the whispers behind him, Tiger's face grew even uglier, and he stormed home in a fit of rage.
Upon entering the room, he could no longer contain his anger and overturned the table.
Wang Dahua was dozing off when she was startled and immediately became angry: "What are you doing!"
This table was salvaged from a burned-down house. It was mostly destroyed by the fire, but we made do with it. Now that it's been salvaged again, the table legs are broken, and we have nowhere to sit to eat!
Zhao Shunqiang frowned: "I asked you to go and check on how the house was being built, and you came back and flipped the table. What do you mean by that?"
"Li Weidong has struck it rich."
Tiger said something out of the blue.
Wang Dahua retorted angrily, "His wealth isn't something that happens today, why are you getting so angry?!"
Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that Li Weidong is capable. Several years ago, he was already living a life of eating meat to his heart's content by growing mushrooms. Last year, he led the whole village to grow mushrooms and made a fortune.
Why bring this up now when we already knew this?
Tiger squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "This is no small matter; this time, he's really made a fortune."
Then he recounted how Kongfu Family Wine, which Li Weidong represented, had become a nationwide sensation.
Finally, he slammed his fist against the wall, exasperated, and said, "Why does Li Weidong always get all the good things?!"
Wang Dahua was stunned: "Is it... Kongfu Family Wine, the Kongfu Family Wine that makes people miss home?"
Although there's no television at home, this liquor is so popular that you can hear people talking about it everywhere you go.
Before, villagers would just buy whatever they wanted to drink, since they all tasted pretty much the same and the prices weren't that different.
But things are different now.
When anyone wants to drink alcohol, they always say the same thing: "Buy Kongfu Family Wine."
With such a huge influence, it's easy to imagine how much money Li Weidong, as an agent, can earn.
Tiger gritted his teeth and said, "That's the one. Didn't I say it last year? Li Weidong endorsed a small brand of liquor. I even said he was out of his mind, but I didn't expect that a blind cat would stumble upon a dead mouse, and he actually got it right!"
Who would have thought that a small brand that I had never even heard of before would suddenly become so popular overnight?
Wang Dahua immediately became jealous, and the mother and son cursed Li Weidong, pointing to the sky and cursing the earth.
Zhao Shunqiang's face was also very ugly.
Suddenly, he roared, "Enough! Li Weidong is capable, what are you comparing yourself to him for?"
"If you hadn't insisted on growing mushrooms and competing with him, would our family have ended up like this?"
"Even now, you still say he was just lucky?"
Zhao Shunqiang glared at Hu Zi: "Even if you are my son, I still have to say that you are no match for me. Don't say anything more. After the house is built, you go out to work and live your own life honestly."
Stop thinking about those unnecessary things!
Before Hu Zi could even speak, Wang Da Hua retorted, "Zhao Shunqiang, you know Hu Zi is your son, don't you? You keep siding with that little bastard Li Weidong, you want to flatter him, but does he even acknowledge you as his uncle?"
"You still say he's not as good as us? What's wrong with our son?"
Zhao Shunqiang glared at him: "Don't you know how bad it is?"
The couple started arguing.
Tiger sat to the side, his face ashen, his mind and eyes filled with only one thought.
He is not convinced!
If he's not doing well, then Li Weidong shouldn't expect to have an easy time either!
A glint of cunning flashed in Tiger's eyes, and he secretly hardened his heart.
Li Weidong, you just wait and see!
