Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Is it money to use a scale?
As a truck driver, Li Weidong has a lot of experience. When he passed through Jincheng before, he had dealt with the green men in Jincheng.

Qingpi in Jincheng is a famous scoundrel, and he dares to stop people in the street and ask for money.

The reason is simply that he stepped on his foot, his shoulder was touched, or he stepped on his manhole cover.
But Li Weidong has never heard of charging money for using a scale from a junk shop.

Li Weidong looked at the old man and asked: "Old comrade, if you don't need a scale to weigh it, how do those people in the scrap shop know the weight of the scraps? How can they collect money!"

"Who says it's not reasonable?" The wrinkles on the old man's face wrinkled tightly and he sighed: "But those people are not unreasonable at all. If anyone doesn't pay two cents, they will throw the waste out. , and then throw people out as well.”

Li Weidong said: "Since these people are so unreasonable, why don't you go to other illegal scrap shops to sell scraps, or go to official scrap shops?"

"Oh, young man, it seems you are not from Huangyuan County." The old man looked Li Weidong up and down.He originally thought Li Weidong was the leader of some unit in the county.

Li Weidong nodded and said, "I'm from out of town. This time I came to Huangyuan County to meet friends. I happen to be somewhat interested in the folk customs of Huangyuan County."

As he spoke, Li Weidong took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the old man.

"This, how can this be so embarrassing!" The old man wiped his hands on his clothes and reached out to take it, but he was reluctant to smoke it.

After putting the cigarette in his ear, he picked up the pot hanging on his waist, lit it with a flint, and took two deep puffs.

Then he said slowly: "You are from out of town, no wonder you don't understand the situation in our Huangyuan County. Since the establishment of this black scrap shop on the outskirts of the city, the collective scrap shops in the county were quickly closed, and the other black scrap shops The store was also smashed up in just two months, and the owners of the junk shops all left.

So now there is only one scrap shop left in Huangyuan County. Without this place, we have no place to sell scraps. "

After listening, Li Weidong called him "good guy, Zhang Tiande can actually turn waste products into a monopoly business, what a big deal."

Li Weidong thought for a moment and asked: "Old comrade, how many weighing fees have you been charged in total?"

"I haven't calculated this, and I don't know how to count. It's just that I make a living by collecting scraps, and I come here to buy scraps almost every day." As he spoke, the old man sighed and said, "If it weren't for my daily life, If you don’t go on, who would do this kind of job and end up being bullied!”

Perhaps it was rare to find someone to talk to, so the old man then rambled on about his past experiences.

The old man was originally a resident of the county town. His parents died when he was young, and he grew up eating the food of hundreds of families.

Although he does not have a formal job, he lives a good life by working as a temporary worker because he is diligent and hard-working.

Later, after being introduced by a neighbor, he married a woman from out of town as his wife.

After getting married, the old man lived a good life for several years. He went out to work every day and could eat hot meals when he came back.

If life continues like this, in a few years, the woman will become pregnant, and the old man will be able to live a life of having his wife and children on the hot bed.

But something unexpected happened. Just when the old man was working hard for a better life, the woman suddenly fell seriously ill and fainted at home.

It was the neighbor's wife who discovered it when she came to visit her house. She called some neighbors and sent the woman to the hospital.

And notified the old man, who hurriedly asked for leave for the first time in history and rushed to the hospital, only to learn from the doctor that the woman was suffering from an incurable disease.

Because the old man was not a formal worker and his family members could not enjoy public medical care, the doctor persuaded the old man to give up treatment and take the woman home.

But the old man couldn't bear to see the woman go home and wait to die, so he insisted on keeping the woman in the hospital.

Because of the old man's careful care, the woman stayed in the hospital for a full year before passing away.

At the same time, she also took away the old man's savings over the years and his house. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that she also took away the old man's spirit.

After the woman left, the old man felt that everything became insignificant.

He could no longer stay in the workshop and work as before.

So I caught up with the sound of scraps being collected and sold.

It's just that this job is much harder than expected. The old man himself is a kind of sincere person, but he only earns hard money every day because he cheats and tricks.

If two cents are deducted from those who were targeted for black goods, he can only fill his stomach every day.

After hearing what happened to the old man, Li Weidong let out a long sigh, took out two dollars from his pocket and handed it over: "This money will be used to make up for the process costs of being robbed by those people over the years."

The old man looked at the money. Instead of reaching out to take it, he took two steps back.

"The process fees were stolen by those people and have nothing to do with you. I can't take the money."

Li Weidong stepped forward, put the money into the old man's hand, put his five fingers together, pressed the money, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'm just returning the money to you for those people. I can get the money back later.”

Although the old man didn't understand what Li Weidong meant, he still nodded heavily: "Good man, old man, I have lived for most of my life, and I finally met a good man."

He nodded heavily at Li Weidong, turned and left.

At this time, Wang Erdan and two members got off the bullock cart and felt a little confused when they saw that Li Weidong had bought a bunch of scraps inexplicably.

"Brother Wei Dong, we are here to cause trouble this time. Why are you really starting a scrap business?"

"You'll find out later."

Li Weidong smiled and asked them to carry the scraps to the ox cart. Uncle Wang, the driver, pulled the reins again. The ox cart left the county town, followed the loess road, and came to a barren slope on the outskirts of the city.

The black scrap shop is located at the bottom of the wasteland and consists of several shacks. The gang also deliberately built a circle of wooden sticks and broken boards around the outside of the scrap shop. Although it does not look eye-catching, it also fully displays Zhang Tiande's ability.

For fear of being discovered by getting too close, the cart stopped when it reached a small forest.

"Comrades, the enemy is there, and our food is also there. Let's rush in, destroy the enemy, and get our food back!" Seeing the door of the black waste point open, Bastard Erdan suddenly became excited.

The members waved their sticks and shouted loudly.

That's right, under Li Weidong's suggestion, the original shotgun was changed to a stick. Only Wang Erdan and Li Weidong can use shotguns.

Just when Wang Erdan gathered his team members and was about to rush in, Li Weidong suddenly stood up and stopped them.

"Erdan, have you ever thought about what you would do if there happens to be residents selling scraps in the scrap shop at this time?"

"Of course I'll rush in," Wang Erdan said halfway, and the rest of his voice was choked in his throat.

He knew very well that there would definitely be a fierce battle, and Zhang Tiande's men had shotguns.

If those people are accidentally injured, things will be in trouble.

Although Wang Erdan is eager to get the food back, he will not hurt others for it.

"Stop!" He waved to stop the members who were about to rush forward, and turned to look at Li Weidong: "Brother Weidong, you must have a way, right." Li Weidong looked at the broken door and slowly Sheng said: "Our best way now is to send people into the illegal waste site to investigate. Find out whether there are really people there."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Erdan's expression changed.

Because those who go in for investigation must not carry weapons, and once Zhang Tiande's people discover them, they will definitely be in big trouble.

After the members learned that they needed to go inside for investigation, none of them were afraid and raised their hands one after another.

"Brother Erdan, I was a scout when I was training before. If you send me in this time, I will definitely be able to complete the mission."

"Me, me, me. Erdan, I am the most powerful in our village. I can fight five of them. Even if I am discovered, I can escape unscathed."

"And me, I'm the smartest person in our commune."

Wang Erdan watched the members enthusiastically sign up, nodded with satisfaction, and selected the one who had been trained in investigation.

This guy has a thin body, a dark complexion, and a pair of small eyes that move around, making him look very smart.

"Brother Erdan, don't worry, I will definitely be able to figure out what's going on inside when I get inside." Wang Xiaoshan threw the wooden stick onto the bullock cart, straightened his clothes, and was about to go to the junk shop.

But he was stopped by Li Weidong.

"Brother Wei Dong, what's wrong? Wang Xiaoshan is the smartest young man in our Wangzhuang, and he is very suitable for carrying out this task." Wang Erdan said with some confusion when he saw this situation.

"This man's ability is not that great." Li Weidong frowned and said, "The key is that if you can't even understand Huangyuan County, if you speak a dialect, you will be discovered by others when you go in.

Think about it, if a member of Shuangshui Village doesn't live for dozens of miles and comes here to sell scraps, anyone will be suspicious. "

As soon as these words came out, Wang Erdan felt frightened.

If Li Weidong had not raised this issue, Wang Xiaoshan, Wangzhuang's outstanding investigator, might have been shot at this time.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, frowned and said, "Then what should we do? We people don't know how to speak Pingyuan County!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a timid voice came from the bullock cart next to him.

"I would say"

Li Weidong was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw that it was Sun Lanhua who raised his hand.

The little girl raised her hands high now, her little face was full of bravery, but she glanced at Li Weidong with a guilty conscience from time to time.

It's just nonsense. Li Weidong frowned and asked, "Sun Lanhua, how come you know Huang Yuan dialect?"

"My aunt is from Huangyuan. When I was young, I lived in my aunt's house for a while, so I can speak some words." When Sun Lanhua said these words, she used Huangyuan dialect.

Even if Li Weidong didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Sun Lanhua's Huangyuan dialect was indeed standard enough.

He was thinking of another reason to refuse, when Sun Lanhua raised her hand again and said: "Brother Wei Dong, I helped my aunt come here to buy scraps a while ago. If I go in again this time, those people will definitely not be suspicious."

As soon as these words came out, Li Weidong could no longer refuse. He could only take a deep look at Sun Lanhua and said, "You must be careful when you go in."

Sun Lanhua nodded obediently: "Brother Wei Dong, don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission. I told you before, what I want most in my life is to be a heroic female warrior!"

Wang Erdan was also moved by Sun Lanhua's bravery and said in a deep voice: "Lanhua, if your identity is discovered, shout immediately and we will rush in immediately."

"Don't worry, I'm very experienced."

Sun Lanhua was not bragging.

After she jumped off the bullock cart, she went to the nearby ditch, took a handful of dust and sprinkled it on her head, rubbed her originally smooth black hair into a mess, and wiped it on her face with her dirty little hands. Twice, and then sprinkled dust on the clothes.

Almost instantly, Sun Lanhua changed from a beautiful girl to a scrap collector.

"I'm going now!"

Sun Lanhua took a deep breath, carried the bag of scraps, and walked into the scrap shop with difficulty.

Behind him, the group of sub-club members suddenly started talking.

"There are so many of us, but it's really embarrassing for a little girl like you to go in to investigate."

"Yeah, if I weren't afraid of being discovered, I would definitely rush to the front and stop him."

"Okay, guys, don't make any noise, always be ready to fight!"

The members outside entered a state of preparation under Li Weidong's order.

At this time, Sun Lanhua had already entered the black junk shop.

As soon as she entered the yard, she felt scared.

Because there was an old man with gray hair who was selling scrap products. If Li Weidong hadn't had the foresight and Wang Erdan rushed in with the members, something unimaginable would have happened.

Zhang Tiande was sitting on a chair in the shed at this time. When he saw Sun Lanhua coming in, he narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered the man next to him: "Er Gou, why is there a girl selling scraps? You go and take stock of the details. Today I always feel Something’s wrong.”

Zhang Tiande didn't have any evidence, but he felt frightened all day long. The last time he felt this way was five years ago.

He took an antique to another place and planned to sell it to a merchant who paid a high price.

But as soon as he entered the guest house, Zhang Tiande felt frightened.

He looked around and found nothing unusual, but he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

A moment later, a group of people in uniform ran out of the guest house, looking for him everywhere.

If Zhang Tiande hadn't been very confident in the den he had been running for many years, he would have been ready to run away just because of this feeling.

Ergou nodded: "Don't worry, no one can escape my eyes."

He stood up and came to the back of the shack, blocking Sun Lanhua's way. He looked at Sun Lanhua up and down with stern eyes: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"

The panic on Sun Lanhua's face was just right, not only making her feel guilty, but also showing the fear of a girl.

"My name is Sun Lanhua, and I sell scrap products for my aunt."
