Super Red Packet

Chapter 255
The village head went to Wu Maojie to discuss buying the tree root.

Wu Maojie asked for 500 yuan.

The village head did not dare to agree, so he went home and asked the painter.

The painter felt that it was too expensive, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind and agreed to 500 yuan.

The village head returned to Wu Maojie's house and said that the artist agreed to the price.

Wu Maojie said: "Then ask him to drive."

The painter hired a truck from the town and three laborers, and drove to the village, ready to pay for the goods.

Because the tree root had been placed for too long, half of it was buried by roadside garbage, and three laborers took a lot of effort to dig the tree root out of the soil.

When the painter handed 500 yuan to Wu Maojie, Wu Maojie took the money, nodded, and then shook his head.

The painter said, "Didn't we agree on 500 yuan?"

Wu Maojie smiled evilly and said, "It's 500 yuan, that's right. I admit that the village chief is the middleman. But I'm a tree root on the way to sell 500 yuan."

The painter was puzzled: "The tree root on the road, yes, it is the tree root placed on the side of the road."

Wu Maojie frowned, and squinted at the painter: "Can you understand Hua Guo dialect? I'm talking about the tree roots on the road, that is, the roots on the road, that is, the roots exposed on the road. This tree root, half-buried Below the road, so you have to pay me for the part below the road."

This is really weird and rascal.

The painter refused to argue, but Wu Maojie insisted on being a rogue.The village head Meng Laosan said that Wu Maojie was wrong, but Wu Maojie instead ridiculed the village head for taking the artist's money and speaking for the artist.

The painter had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and asked, "How much do you want for the part below the road?"

Wu Maojie said: "I won't ask you for more for the part below the road. You can just give 5000 yuan. The total is [-] yuan. Take the money and pull the roots away. If you don't have money, go away as soon as possible."

5000 yuan!
This is nothing short of blackmail.

The painter really couldn't accept buying a rotten tree root for [-] yuan, so he reluctantly gave up.

"Forget it, don't buy it." The painter said angrily, "You give me back the five hundred yuan."

Wu Maojie laughed: "If you don't buy it, I will definitely return the 1000 yuan to you. But you have to pay me [-] yuan first."

"I'll pay you 1000 yuan?" The painter was stunned.The surrounding villagers were also stunned.

"Look at it, look at it," Wu Maojie pointed at the root of the tree, "The good tree root has been planed by you, look, here, and here, have been scratched. I want you 1000 Compensation of [-] yuan is already lenient enough."

The painter was too angry to speak, so he had to call the police.

After a while, the police car from the town police station arrived, and the two assistant police officers got out of the car and asked about the situation.Of course, the police assistant knew Wu Maojie, the son and daughter of the director of the police station, and asked the painter, "Did he beat someone?"

The painter shook his head: "No, but he won't pay me back."

The police assistant asked Wu Maojie again: "Why didn't you pay him back?"

Wu Maojie waved the five banknotes in his hand, "It's not that I didn't pay him back, it's that he owed me five hundred yuan and didn't pay me."

The police assistant spread his hands and said helplessly to the painter: "This is not within the scope of our police dispatch. You can go to the police station to apply for administrative adjustment, or you can go to the court to sue him."

The painter knew that he couldn't fight the local snake, and Wu Maojie grabbed him by the collar and refused to let him go. The painter had no choice but to admit his bad luck, and took out another 1000 yuan, making up [-] yuan, and gave it to Wu Maojie.

Seeing that the painter was easy to bully, the truck driver and the three laborers also yelled at him, demanding that he pay a day's wages.The reason is that they gave up other jobs today, so they must be compensated.

The painter couldn't bear it, so he had to pay another three laborers and the driver a total of [-] yuan.

The painter was frustrated and in a bad mood. He drove his car not far from Mengjia Village and fell into a ditch. The car crashed and people died.

When the painter's family came to collect the body, many people in the village saw the painter's old mother in the town. She was a widow who worked hard to raise her son. The son died in a car accident before he married his daughter-in-law.The old mother bit her own tongue before leaving town and was said to have gone mad.

Everyone in the village scolded Wu Maojie for lack of great virtue, so he must die a bad life.

Unexpectedly, Wu Maojie still lived a healthy life.No one in the local family dared to marry their daughter to him, so he spent money to buy a daughter-in-law from another mountain and went home to marry him.Now, the daughter-in-law has been pregnant for several months.

Such a person also deserves a queen?Meng Xiaoben thought angrily when he heard this.

The village head told the story as a joke, Meng Xiaoben thought there was nothing funny about it, but his heart was very blocked, and he wanted to drag Wu Maojie over and beat him up.

It is inevitable to beat Wu Maojie to vent the anger he suffered when he was a child.

But the most important thing for Meng Xiaoben now is not to vent his anger, but to get the rare treasure of golden nanmu and ebony.

According to the painter's experience and lessons in buying tree roots, Meng Xiaoben knew that he could not use normal methods to buy the tree roots from Wu Maojie.Because Wu Maojie was greedy, even if Meng Xiaoben paid 1 yuan, Wu Maojie would add it to [-] yuan.Meng Xiaoben paid [-] yuan, and he will increase it to [-] yuan.

Meng Xiaoben thought of the old lady in Pushili's fairy tale poems.

Wu Maojie should be the image of that old lady.

That being the case, I will take it away privately.

Meng Xiaoben finished his breakfast calmly, bid farewell to the village chief, and returned home.

He secretly decided: Tonight at midnight, take the golden silk and ebony away!
When they entered the house, sister-in-law and Lin Yun had just woken up, and mother was cooking in the kitchen.

Two beauties came out of the house, which was really eye-catching.Like two magnolia flowers in the morning, with a whole body of fragrance, it rushes straight into the nose.

Mom asked Meng Xiaoben: "Where did you get up early in the morning?"

Meng Xiaoben lied and said, "I'll go around the village and just walk around."

Mother actually knew in her heart that Meng Xiaoben must go out to do some hidden things, otherwise, he would not be able to sneak out of the house at night.Because when Meng Xiaoben walked out, his mother had already been awakened, but she didn't make a sound.

After dinner, sister-in-law and mother went to wash the dishes, Meng Xiaoben asked Lin Yun, "How did you sleep?"

"Chatting with your sister-in-law, I didn't sleep for a long time."

"How is my sister-in-law?"

"I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful woman in this countryside. It's a pity that she stays in the countryside. She should go to Jiangcheng City."

Meng Xiaoben nodded: "I'll talk to the director of the Cultural Bureau when I get back, and see if I can solve my sister-in-law's work."

"You have to hurry up, I'm in a hurry to play with my sister-in-law."

Meng Xiaoben looked at Lin Yun, smiled and said nothing.

Lin Yun said: "Are you going to stay at home for a few days? Or go back today? I'm going back to Jiangcheng today, so I can't delay my work."

Meng Xiaoben was a little mysterious, and whispered, "I still have something important to do tonight."

"What's the big deal? Didn't you release 梼杌 to eat people?" Lin Yun pointed to the 梼杌 ring on Meng Xiaoben's finger.

"Where are you thinking! I want to get a fortune. This wealth is now in the hands of a bad person, and the bad person doesn't know it. I want to take it back and keep it for myself."

"What do you mean? It's so mysterious!"
