Chapter 964: The Money Power of Yongan’s Richest Man (November Monthly Tickets Plus 221)
Zhang Dongzhi and Zhao Jicheng said before that they met Zhang Yuanmin who was coming home from the mountain. At that time, Zhao Youcai was a little panicked.
But Zhao Youcai was panicking, not because he was afraid that these four people would cause trouble, but because he asked Li Baoyu to tell Wang Meilan yesterday that he didn't go home last night to cook for the tiger team.
Although Li Dayong told this lie, the result is the same.
Logically speaking, this panic is quite round. Furthermore, if normally there were no bad guys causing trouble, the group of people would have gone back to collect the reward with the tiger carcass.
Then, Zhao Youcai could go home at night, and the matter would be over.
But the current situation is that the tiger has not been defeated, and he is still in danger of overturning.
Zhang Yuanmin went back and made a fuss. Wang Meilan knew that Zhao Youcai was out hunting tigers and was still lying and talking. Wouldn't that be a big trouble?
"Boss Zhao!" Li Chunming was startled by Zhao Youcai's muttering and asked hurriedly: "What was ruined?"
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai came back to his senses.
"Boss Zhao!" Li Chunming asked Zhao Youcai again, "Do you think we should gather the fire to roast the dry food, or go back to Lengchang to have a bite to eat?"
When five people came out of No. 42 Langchang today, Jiang Ershuan prepared a bag of two-faced steamed buns for them.
No way, there is no way to spread big pancakes in Lengchang, so it would be nice to have steamed buns.
But after a whole morning of tossing, the steamed buns were frozen solid. If you wanted to eat them, you had to raise the fire first, and then bake the steamed buns over the fire. Bake each layer until thoroughly chewed, otherwise you won't be able to eat it for an hour.
This is quite troublesome, and now it's not far from the 42 Leng farm. At least I can have something hot to eat when I go back.
"Don't eat!" What people didn't expect was that Zhao Youcai raised his hand to stop Li Chunming and said, "Let's get in the car and then take the car around to the west end to see where the big paw went!"
When he said the last words, Zhao Youcai said with firm eyes: "We must fight it today!"
Zhao Youcai said this, and Li Chunming responded immediately. As for the four people fighting the tiger, Li Chunming was the leader. He had spoken, so the other three naturally had no reason to object.
The Zhao family's father and son each led a group of people to look for tigers in the mountains, and at this time, the Zhao family was stationed in Yong'an.
When Jiechen parked the car in front of Zhao's house, Wang Meilan and a group of women came out to pick up dogs and meat as usual.
But as soon as Wang Meilan came out of the room and saw Heihu and Erhei running into the yard, she felt something was wrong.
At this time, she didn't realize that she was missing a dog. She just saw that her dog was not in the right mental state and was not as cheerful as usual.
Immediately afterwards, Jie Chen, who had let the dog go, went around to the passenger side. He helped Li Baoyu open the door and reached out to pick up the rhubarb held by Li Baoyu.
Wang Meilan and Jin Xiaomei knew at a glance that Dahuang was injured, so they hurried to the door to greet him.
When passing the kennel closest to the door, Wang Meilan paused and turned her head to take a look at the kennel.
The oversized one-piece doghouse was for Big Fat and Three Fatty. At this time, Jie Chen had turned around, so there should be no dogs in the back compartment.
Wang Meilan blinked, feeling a little uncomfortable, but then she thought about it, her son and brother hadn't come back yet, and she couldn't have prepared for them to bring other dogs behind.
After Li Baoyu got out of the car, he carried Da Huang directly back to his house. This dog cannot be left outside, it must be kept inside.
But before entering the house, Li Baoyu asked Wang Meilan to go home to get medicine, and asked Jie Chen to drive Jin Xiaomei to Han Shang. He carried the rhubarb into the house and placed it on the kang in his and Li Ruhai's house.
The kang was warm, and Rhubarb became much more energetic after lying there for a while. Li Baoyu saw that it was in better condition, so he went to the outhouse and took the remaining steamed buns from the morning from the dish rack, broke off a piece and brought it to Dahuang's mouth.
Dahuang glanced at the steamed buns, and then looked at Li Baoyu with raised eyes.
At this time, Wang Meilan came over with two penicillins. Seeing that Rhubarb didn't eat, she put the penicillin on the table next to her and said, "Baoyu, if it doesn't eat, don't feed it yet. I'll give it to it." Just warm water."
After saying that, Wang Meilan went outside, took Dahuang's dog food bowl, and filled it with less than half a bowl of warm water.
After Wang Meilan put the water basin in front of Da Huang, Da Huang stood up tremblingly.
Seeing Da Huang getting up, Li Baoyu smiled unconsciously on his face. Zhao Jun said before that Rhubarb was not very good, and Li Baoyu was heartbroken.
But just now Li Baoyu almost shed tears when she saw Dahuang not eating.
At this time, Dahuang was able to get up and drink water, and Li Baoyu's heart suddenly dropped to the ground.
But when Rhubarb put its mouth into the basin and stretched out its tongue to lick the water, as its tongue continued to swallow and drink the water into its mouth, red colors spread and floated in the water.
Wang Meilan has been observing Dahuang because she didn't see any external injuries on Dahuang, but she didn't look very energetic.
At this time, when she saw blood entering the basin, Wang Meilan said "Ouch" and looked at Li Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, this dog has internal injuries!"
Wang Meilan has known Zhao Youcai for more than 20 years, so she understands it somewhat.
When Wang Meilan asked this question, Li Baoyu burst into tears instantly, grinned and cried: "Auntie!"
Wang Meilan suddenly felt bad, but she knew that Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang were fine, otherwise Li Baoyu would not have come back like this.
"What's wrong, kid?" Wang Meilan took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped it on Li Baoyu, and asked, "What happened to you going up the mountain today?"
Li Baoyu: "Auntie, we met a big paw!"
"Ouch!" Wang Meilan was shocked when she heard this and asked hurriedly: "What about brother and the others?"
"They went to avenge the dog!" Li Baoyu cried, "The dog is dead!"
Wang Meilan opened her mouth but couldn't speak. She blinked twice, patted Li Baoyu's shoulder with her handkerchief, and said, "Okay, Baoyu, don't cry. Han Shang will be here soon. Let's not let people laugh at us."
After that, Wang Meilan walked outside.
After leaving the Li family's house, Wang Meilan looked at the three empty doghouses of the Li family.
She knew that Dahuang was in the house, but Huamao and Hualang would definitely not come back.
Seeing Wang Meilan, Xiaohua, who was standing in front of the doghouse, shook her tail.
At this time, Xiaohua was not in a good mood. Its tail was not upturned, but the tip of its tail was shaking downward.
Wang Meilan walked over, pulled the dog chain to tie Xiaohua, then touched Xiaohua's neck and walked out.
Today, Wang Meilan did not jump over the wall, but walked back to her own yard through the courtyard gate. When she saw the empty doghouse, Wang Meilan's eyes instantly became hot.
She sniffed and took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe the corners of her eyes.
At this time, Zhao Chun was coaxing the child in the house, and the old lady and Jie Sun were cutting cloth in the house. They were both old, and it was easy to catch a cold if they went in and out, and were exposed to cold and heat, so Wang Meilan didn't let them come out.
Yang Yufeng, Zhao Ling, and Xu Chunyan, the three of them, had just tied up the seven remaining dogs of the Zhao family.
In the past, even if they were acquaintances, these dogs would not cooperate very well if they were tied up, and they would definitely shake their heads and add obstacles to people. But today, except for Huanglong and Hualong, the other seven dogs did not struggle.
After tying up the dogs and seeing Wang Meilan coming in, Yang Yufeng and the others were about to ask Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and Jie Zhong why they didn't come back, but they saw Wang Meilan wiping tears.
This scared the three of them, and they rushed to Wang Meilan.
"Sister!" Zhao Ling held Wang Meilan's arm and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"Second Aunt, why are you crying?" Xu Chunyan asked while holding Wang Meilan's other arm.
Yang Yufeng didn't get a seat and stood in front of Wang Meilan, but before she could speak, the dogs in the yard exploded.
"Woof woof woof..." The first one was Bailong, who suddenly jumped forward, and the iron chain tied to him instantly straightened. Bailong was seen barking at Wang Meilan fiercely.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Aoao..."
Black Tiger, Blue Dragon, and Black Dragon also bit at Wang Meilan, while Erhei, Hualong, and Huanglong were a little confused.
At this time, Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan reacted, and the two of them quickly let go of Wang Meilan's arm and left Wang Meilan with Yang Yufeng.
Seeing this scene, the four dogs quickly calmed down.
They were not barking at Wang Meilan just now, but at Zhao Ling and the other three. Although they were familiar with each other, the dog knew that they were not family members, let alone the master. The dog could let Zhao Ling and the others tie the chain to it, but it could not let people "hold" Wang Meilan hostage.
That's right, the actions of the three people just now fell into the dog's eyes, and the dog thought that they were offending Wang Meilan.
So, they had to protect their master.
The four women in the yard understood what was going on. Wang Meilan looked at Bai Long who was nearby, and her tears could not stop.
If Big Fat Za and Three Fat Za were there, especially Big Fat Za, they could break the iron chain, but Big Fat Za and Three Fat Za could not come back.
She walked quickly into the house, and Yang Yufeng and the other two hurriedly followed her into the house.
At this time, the kang in Zhao Jun's room was full of cotton cloth, and the old lady and Xie Sun were sitting on the kang busy.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old lady shouted, "What's wrong, girl?"
"It's okay, aunt." Wang Meilan replied with grief, and then took Yang Yufeng and others into the east room.
At this time, Zhao Chun had just coaxed the child to sleep, and when she saw the four people coming in, she hurriedly asked why her brother didn't come back.
Xiao Zhoudao was sleeping, so Wang Meilan lowered her voice and told the few people about the dog encountering a tiger in the mountains, and the death of Big Fat, Three Fat, Cat, and Wolf.
Several people sighed when they heard it, and at the same time they also thought of Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang and Jie Zhong.
"Sister, it's okay." Wang Meilan was afraid that her brother and sister-in-law would worry, so she comforted Zhao Ling and said, "They have three guns in their hands, and two semi-automatic ones, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
"Yeah." Zhao Ling nodded and said to Wang Meilan, "Sister, I just saw that the dog's stomach was flat."
"Well..." Wang Meilan said, "Take the one that feeds Luo Xiajiao, bring it up and add some potatoes, then take a squash, grab a few handfuls of cornmeal, and put the dog food in it."
"Hey!" Yang Yufeng agreed and walked out, and Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan also went out to help.
The potatoes that Zhao Jun's family feeds the dog must be peeled and washed, and the same goes for squash.
The three of them went out to work, boiling water, washing potatoes, and peeling potatoes. At this time, Zhao Chun heard Wang Meilan sniffing, and hurriedly hugged Wang Meilan's back from behind, whispering to comfort her: "Mom, don't take it too seriously."
Zhao Chun knew that this would not comfort Wang Meilan, but at this moment Zhao Chun didn't know what to say.
"Well, it's okay, my daughter." Wang Meilan patted Zhao Chun's hand, then left her daughter's arms, went to the kang cabinet, opened the kang cabinet door, and pulled out a triangular bag from it.
After giving the briefcase to Li Ruhai, Wang Meilan used the triangular bag to carry money. But it's okay, the briefcase can't hold much money, and the triangular bag is more practical.
Wang Meilan pinched the buckle of the triangular bag with both hands and turned to look at Zhao Chun.
"What's wrong, mom?" Zhao Chun asked in surprise, "What are you going to do with the money?"
Wang Meilan never avoided her eldest daughter, Zhao Chun knew that the bag was full of money.
"Daughter!" Wang Meilan said, "I feel that your brother and your uncle can't handle that big claw today."
"Ah?" Zhao Chun was startled when she heard that, and then she heard Wang Meilan continue: "If they can't handle it today, I don't want them to go tomorrow."
After saying this, Wang Meilan paused and said: "But our dog can't just die like this!"
"Huh?" Wang Meilan's words confused Zhao Chun. She looked at Wang Meilan and asked: "No? Mom, what do you mean?"
You want revenge, but you don't let them go. So what? If they don't go, you go?
At this time, Wang Meilan sat cross-legged on the kang, and the triangular bag containing money was placed between her knees.
The two sides of the bag were tied together to form a buckle. Wang Meilan held the buckle with her right hand, raised her left hand and gestured to Zhao Chun, saying: "Mom, give me a thousand yuan, can anyone in our forest area kill this big claw for me?"
"This..." Zhao Chun was even more confused. If his mother did this, would it be considered hiring a killer?
"Two thousand!" Wang Meilan's left hand changed from one to two, and she cursed: "Fuck, I don't believe no one will do it!"
The richest man in Yong'an was sad, upset, and angry, and decided to use money to smash the big claw to death.
"Two thousand..." Zhao Chun was scared. His father-in-law was the head of the forest farm and managed more than a thousand formal employees, but Zhou Chunming's annual salary plus subsidies were only this amount.
"Then someone must do it." Zhao Chun saw that Wang Meilan was not in a good state, tried to adjust the atmosphere, smiled and said: "This is a conversation between us mother and daughter. If it was my father before, you gave him 200 yuan, he would jump high."
Zhao Chun was talking about her father before. She thought that her mother's family was rich now, and her father could not do that.
The eldest daughter joked, although Wang Meilan did not laugh, but she felt a little relieved. She squinted her eyes and said: "Your father, he is a pure beggar who has never seen sorghum rice!"
The child was sleeping beside her, and Zhao Chun tried hard not to laugh out loud.
At this time, Wang Meilan muttered, "I can't do this yet. Ru Hai... Oh!"
Wang Meilan sighed, stuffed the bag into the kang cabinet, and then said to Zhao Chun, "My daughter, stay in the room. Mom will go to your uncle's house to see Da Huang."
After that, Wang Meilan got up and walked out. At this time, the dog outside the house just started barking, and Xie Chen took Han Shang to the Li family yard.
When Wang Meilan came out, she just happened to catch Jin Xiaomei getting off the trunk. If she went to invite someone, she had to let Han Shang sit in the co-pilot seat, and Jin Xiaomei couldn't squeeze with him, so she had to do it this way.
The two sisters looked at each other in silence and sighed together.
