Chapter 304 Wrong
Wang Yuanchao frowned and glanced at Du Kangwu, but did not respond.
Wang Yuanchao himself had doubts about whether to rescue him.
After all, in terms of ability, Wang Yuanchao felt that Du Kangwu was very capable, as he was able to run a black market at such a young age in this era. Because such people, once they survived the reform and opening up, are often the seeds of the first batch of wealthy people or nouveau riche. With Wang Yuanchao's guidance, his future achievements will not be low.
But is Wang Yuanchao's purpose to cultivate nouveau riche or wealthy people?
Wang Yuanchao knew that he did not have this idea and was not so great.
What Wang Yuanchao was thinking more about was whether this person could be used by him, whether he could listen to his command wholeheartedly and work for him?
Wang Yuanchao thought about it again and again and felt that it was difficult, because Wang Yuanchao himself was not a ruthless person. For someone like Du Kangwu who was full of wildness, rebelliousness, and had a strong subjective consciousness, it would be difficult to subdue him unless he used threats of life and death or inducements.
And from what Du Kangwu said just now, he wanted Wang Yuanchao to rescue his brothers as well.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Yuanchao's thoughts on using Du Kangwu faded.
So Wang Yuanchao did not express his opinion, but said with a smile:
"Come on, everyone, eat the food. I have to say my mother-in-law's cooking skills are great, especially this salt fish, which is fresh, spicy and flavorful. It's simply delicious."
Wang Yuanchao ate while talking and picked up dishes for his young wife, mother-in-law, and Du Kangwu.
Du Kangwu suddenly noticed that Wang Yuanchao's attitude towards talking about him suddenly became indifferent.
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao had not responded to his statement, and not knowing whether he would agree to rescue him, Du Kangwu gradually became anxious.
While eating and drinking, Wang Yuanchao wanted to bring the topic back to the previous topic, but he had already given up on Du Kangwu and didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he talked about something else.
I chatted and laughed with the family while enjoying the delicious food.
With Wang Yuanchao's deliberate acceleration, the dinner with a good atmosphere soon came to an end. After the meal, Wang Yuanchao asked Widow Du to continue to entertain Du Kangwu, while he began to practice standing and boxing in the yard. Seeing this, Du Kangwu didn't want to continue to pester Wang Yuanchao to chat, but felt a little depressed, and didn't know what went wrong in what he said just now.
"Aunt, my brother-in-law and I were chatting just now, why is he suddenly not interested in chatting with me? Do you know what I said just now is wrong?"
Widow Du and Wang Yuanchao had lived in the same bed for more than a year, so they certainly knew where the problem lay.
But in Du Guafu's heart, Wang Yuanchao was her family, and Du Kangwu was just her relative. Naturally, she was biased, so Du Guafu whispered:
"What's the problem? Was there any problem with your conversation just now?"
Du Kangwu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
“Yes, at first my brother-in-law was very interested in my situation and wanted to help me.
I don’t know what I said wrong, but my brother-in-law suddenly lost interest in my affairs and stopped talking to me. It was obvious that he didn’t want to talk to me anymore.”
Widow Du frowned and thought for a while, then continued in a low voice:
"You also know that there is only one man in my aunt's family, Yuan Chao, and he makes all the decisions about family affairs.
Your cousin Yuanyuan and I stay at home every day and basically don't take care of things.
I didn't pay attention to your conversation just now, so I don't know where the problem lies.
Moreover, since we lived together, Yuan Chao would practice martial arts after dinner every day, rain or shine.
How about this, I'll wait until he finishes his martial arts training and when no one is around, and then I'll ask him what's going on, what do you think?"
Du Kangwu glanced at Widow Du, but he did not doubt her words, because what Widow Du said was the custom of that era. Men had the final say in all matters at home, and women should live their own lives and not meddle in other people's affairs.
So Du Kangwu could only nod and say:
"Okay, auntie, thank you for your help."
"Hey, it's no trouble. Yuan Chao is your brother-in-law. It's not that troublesome."
"Okay, auntie, I'll go back today. You can tell me if there's any news. How about that?"
"Okay, Kang Wu, you go back first, I'll come find you later."
"Yes, Auntie."
After saying hello to Du Kangwu and Wang Yuanchao, he walked towards home.
After leaving Wang Yuanchao's yard, Du Kangwu's normal expression suddenly turned gloomy.
Is Du Kangwu stupid? No, if he was stupid, would he be able to manage such a large black market at such a young age in a place where all kinds of people are mixed together?
Courage, knowledge, worldly wisdom, ability, luck, all these aspects are indispensable. Only then could Du Kangwu run the black market for so many years.
Otherwise, there would be no such person as Du Kangwu in this world.
Capable people are admired wherever they go. At the dinner just now, Du Kangwu naturally knew that Wang Yuanchao admired him very much from the beginning, and at the beginning Wang Yuanchao obviously wanted to pull him out and let him live an upright life with him.
In just a moment, I don't know what Wang Yuanchao thought of, but he suddenly gave up on himself.
Du Kangwu once again deeply felt the sadness of having no control over his fate, and his eyes were filled with more and more resentment.
We are all relatives, and you are capable of helping me, but you choose to stand aside and watch. Is this really okay? After returning home, Du Kangwu's father called Du Kangwu into the room and asked, "Xiaowu, how did the discussion go?"
Du Kangwu smiled unruly and said softly, "The talks have failed."
Boss Du frowned and asked doubtfully, "Wang Yuanchao is unwilling to help?"
Du Kangwu sighed and said:
"Wang Yuanchao is smarter than we thought.
As soon as I opened my mouth, he guessed what I did.
Then I asked him frankly for a job as a buyer.
Of course he wouldn't agree. After all, what I'm doing now is very risky, so it's normal for him to be unwilling to help."
Du Kangwu's son, Du Lao Da, had been raised by him since childhood, so how could he not understand him? So he asked, "Then why did you look like that when you got home?"
Du Kangwu said resentfully, "We are relatives, and he is my brother-in-law. He clearly has the ability to pull me out of the abyss, but he chose to turn a blind eye. How can I not hate him?"
After hearing Du Kangwu's news, Boss Du looked at Du Kangwu in a trance and said:
"Tell me everything about your conversation with Wang Yuanchao today, word for word."
"OK."
As Du Kangwu spoke, Boss Du thought about it. After hearing Du Kangwu's final answer,
Boss Du looked at his proud son with complicated eyes and said with a sigh:
"Kang Wu, you are wrong."
