Chapter 49 Huang Wenlong's Request
Liu Yongming scratched his scalp irritably and squatted on the ground. He was on the verge of collapse.
"Brother, Fang Meixiang has something on me! In order to divorce Lin Qin, she contacted someone for me, and the other party lent me 150 yuan. Now Fang Meixiang said that the person was a loan shark. If I can't pay back the money, I'm done!
"As for Lin Yi's matter, any one of these things will make me feel very sorry for myself, brother! I have finally come this far, and I am about to graduate and be assigned a job. I can't take any risks!"
It was the first time that Liu Yongguo felt so aggrieved. "So you're just going to let that woman control you? It's fine if we can't get a divorce, but do you really want to raise that child?
You took all my savings, and now I have to rely on foreign loans to make ends meet. If I have to support that little girl, I will be so angry that I will die! And I can't explain to your sister-in-law!"
It would have been better if he didn't say anything. The more Liu Yongguo talked, the angrier he became, and he wanted to kill someone to vent his anger.
Liu Yongming grabbed Liu Yongguo's clothes tightly and said, "Brother, I decided to go back to school to hide for a while and come back when the school assigns me a job. Anyway, there are only about two months left. Please help me carry the load. I will repay you when I come back to work!"
Liu Yongguo looked embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse his brother's pleading, so he could only bite the bullet and go back to explain to Ma Cuihua and Xu Manzhi.
"What? We can't get a divorce, and we still have to raise Fang Meixiang's daughter? You're dreaming!" Ma Cuihua's voice was extremely sharp because of her anger, and she wanted to hit Liu Yongguo with a stick.
Liu Yongguo quickly retreated to the yard and looked at Ma Cuihua warily, "Mom, my younger brother said that he has to go back to school to avoid the limelight. I think he is right. Let's think about these things carefully after the work is assigned.
Fang Meixiang still has some leverage over me. What if she tells others about it? She's already in jail, what is there to be afraid of? But we can't take risks! She's just a little girl. Just give her something to eat. As long as she doesn't starve to death, that's how we control Fang Meixiang!"
Ma Cuihua's angry mind gradually calmed down, "You are right, we can't let that bitch ruin your brother. Since Fang Meixiang said so, you go and pick up that money-loser tomorrow, and let them divorce after Fang Meixiang is released from prison."
After Liu Yongming learned that Ma Cuihua was willing to raise the child, he immediately submitted his resignation letter to his internship unit and packed his bags to return to school.
Chen Wenjun only found out about this when he went to Guoxing Hotel to deliver fish and shrimp.
He snorted in dissatisfaction, "He got it easy for himself, he didn't even follow me in!"
Zheng Guoxing now knew the past of Chen Wenjun and his wife, and comforted them: "Just because he is not in prison now doesn't mean he will be fine! There have been so many troubles here and outside, and he is famous in Anshi. He will definitely come back after graduation. Which unit dares to hire him! You just wait and see!
By the way, my brother who works in engineering will be coming over for dinner later, so you two can get to know each other. His name is Huang Wenlong, and he is my childhood friend. "
As they were talking, a group of dusty men entered the restaurant.
He sat there and shouted casually at the top of his voice: "Stinky head, make us a table of food, three dishes and a soup, whatever is cheap!"
Zheng Guoxing yelled back angrily, "You're the stinky one! My name is Zheng Guoxing!"
"What the hell? Did you eat the ammunition?" Huang Wenlong finally looked at Zheng Guoxing. Seeing the two unfamiliar faces, he reacted and walked forward with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Did I bother you? Well, good brother, we are all hungry. The city leaders will come to inspect soon. I guess we won't have lunch today. Can you get us something to eat first?"
"Go, go, go! Get out of the way!" Zheng Guoxing slapped Huang Wenlong's dirty hands in annoyance and said to Chen Wenjun, "This is my childhood friend who is in charge of the project. Don't think he is unreasonable. In fact, he is unreasonable. If you want cement, sand and gravel, just talk to him. It's okay to cheat him as much as you can. I'm going to cook first!"
Huang Wenlong was so angry that he jumped up and down, "You heartless bastard! Sooner or later, I will eat you up!"
He cursed a few times, then turned around and showed his eight teeth to Chen Wenjun and Lin Qin in a friendly manner, "Sit down, sit down! Are you the friend who bought the deserted island that Choutou mentioned?"
Chen Wenjun nodded, "We are planning to build a house. Boss Zheng said that you are building a road here, so we can ask you to help buy cement, sand and gravel. It will be cheaper."
"That's right! The director of the cement factory is my second uncle! How can it not be cheap? It won't cost much to build a house!"
Huang Wenlong restrained his frivolous look.
Chen Wenjun said helplessly: "We want to build a house on the deserted island, so we need to raise the foundation. There is no shortage of stones on the deserted island, but we need cement and sand. According to the plan, we want to raise the foundation by about one meter, and the total area of the house will be about 230 square meters."
Huang Wenlong took out a notebook and a pen from the counter, and calculated according to what Chen Wenjun said, frowning more and more, "If we do it according to what you said, it will cost about 20,000! If you pull cement from the cement factory yourself, it will be 120 per ton. I'm doing the project here, and the internal price is 90 per ton. If you can accept it, come to me and I'll get it for you."
"Okay, okay, okay." Chen Wenjun was so surprised that the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
When he was selling fish, he had asked around at the vegetable market and found out that it was indeed costing 120 yuan for people to go to the cement factory to pick up the goods themselves. What's more important is that the people there had a very arrogant attitude and the cement they gave them was not necessarily good.
If you buy things with Huang Wenlong, even if they are not the best, they will not be bad at all.
Huang Wenlong looked back at Zheng Guoxing and saw that he was still cooking in the kitchen. He lowered his voice and asked, "Do you send fish and shrimp to Choutou every day?"
Chen Wenjun nodded, a little confused.
"Where is your wife?" Huang Wenlong asked again.
Chen Wenjun was even more confused, but he answered honestly, "She didn't come out with me today."
Huang Wenlong came closer and said, "Well, to tell you the truth, I just took on another project not far from here, and my brothers said that eating out every day is too expensive, so they want to cook their own food.
But this is a difficult matter to arrange. First of all, it is difficult to satisfy everyone. None of us rough guys can cook as well as Choutou. Also, we don’t have time to buy groceries and cook. We want to find someone to be responsible!
I heard that my sister-in-law is a nice person. Would you like to come and cook for us? We will buy all the fish and shrimp from you. How about that? "
Chen Wenjun was shocked. "This, this, this, this won't do! She only knows how to order ordinary dishes. She doesn't have the cooking skills of Boss Zheng."
"Hey! Lao Zheng runs a restaurant. If my sister-in-law has his cooking skills, I can't afford her! Our request is very simple. We just want to cook home-cooked meals for the workers. Three dishes and one soup or four dishes and one soup are fine. The main thing is that everyone works very hard on the highway. I also want everyone to eat something good. I will give them some fish, shrimp and other things every day, and two more dishes will be enough!"
