Chapter 302: Revised: Chapter 302 The True Location
The Wuling God Car stopped at the factory gate, and three or five old men immediately came forward, pointing and saying, “How much does this car cost? It’s much better looking than the big car we saw the other day!”
“Of course! This is a small car, don’t you know? You country bumpkin!” An old man puffing on homemade tobacco leisurely rolled his eyes and said mysteriously.
His words naturally annoyed others, and someone retorted, “Old Man Niu, aren’t you just like us? If we’re country bumpkins, what are you?”
The smoking old man, seeing someone refuting him, knocked his pipe against his shoe, hooked it onto his belt, and boasted:
“Back in the days when I was working in the city, I saw lots of small cars! And you? How many cars have you seen?”
The other old men, seeing his arrogance, couldn’t help but tease, “There are plenty of cars in town too, who hasn’t seen them? Just because you’ve seen more cars, doesn’t mean you must have seen more than us. I bet that’s not true!”
Old Man Niu originally wanted to show off, but these people walking with him weren’t giving him any face, making him quite depressed.
Just as he was about to leave with his head down, Wu Xiaoyu came over holding a jar of mushroom sauce, opened the trunk, and laughed, “See this? This door is called a trunk, and it’s used to put things in. Did you know that?”
The few old men, seeing that he was showing off, didn’t take it seriously and asked Wu Xiaoyu instead, “Xiaoyu, how much does this car cost?”
Wu Xiaoyu was busy and had no time for them, so he just smiled and replied, “Maybe fifty to sixty thousand? I’m not sure of the exact amount!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several old men present were a bit shocked. A car costs fifty to sixty thousand yuan? Even without eating or drinking, it would take two to three years to afford one!
“Old Man Niu, why don’t you buy one too? Aren’t you familiar with cars?” An old man who couldn’t stand Old Man Niu’s bragging teased him.
Fifty to sixty thousand might not be much for city folks, and for some rich people, it’s just the price of a handbag. But for the people of Daxin Village, it’s an astronomical number.
Old Man Niu, being teased, felt very indignant but dared not boast wildly and had to head home dejectedly.
The remaining old men saw him defeated, quickly followed behind, and laughed, “Old Man Niu, why are you leaving so soon? Not going to walk a bit more?”
The old men had just walked a few steps when they saw Wu Dushan and his cousins carrying a few sacks, walking towards them with joy.
To divert their attention, Old Man Niu asked Wu Dushan, “Dashan, what good stuff do you have in these sacks?”
Old Man Niu always loved to brag; he was known as the ‘talented person’ in the village, knowledgeable about the world, often making everyone laugh.
Therefore, Wu Dushan did not answer his question directly but instead solemnly said, “What do you think is in these sacks? Don’t you know?”
Everyone knew he was teasing Old Man Niu, and they burst into laughter, while Old Man Niu was completely puzzled. What do you mean by me knowing? How would I know?
Wu Dushan, afraid Xiaoyu might get anxious, did not bother to argue and quickly left. Old Man Niu watched his back and cursed:
“You brat, you’re just riding on Wu Xiaoyu’s coattails! If he ever falls, you won’t fare any better!”
Old Man Niu’s envy was naturally unknown to Wu Xiaoyu. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care too much. After all, the tall tree catches the wind, as long as he could unite the majority, that would be enough!
Wu Dushan and company, carrying the native chickens and mushroom sauce, arrived at the sauce factory gate. Wu Xiaoyu and little Li had already packed all the mushroom sauce, and they just had to wait for the goods to arrive to set off.
Little Li, seeing Wu Dushan carrying a sack, quickly opened the back door of the car, letting him throw the sack with live chickens inside.
After loading the goods brought by Wu Dushan and others, Wu Daqing, full of envy, touched the car and asked, “Brother, where did this car come from?”
Wu Xiaoyu, not wanting to attract too much attention, did not tell everyone about buying the car. Hearing him ask about the car, he simply replied, “This car was bought by the boss of Renji Chicken to transport goods!”
Upon hearing that the car belonged to Renji Chicken, Wu Daqing’s eyes lit up even more. He grabbed Wu Xiaoyu’s arm and pleaded:
“Brother, you’re classmates with the boss of Renji Chicken, right? Could you talk to him and let me drive it for a couple of days?”
Drive? Seriously! Kid, do you have a license? Do you know what a clutch and an accelerator are? Even I don’t dare drive it yet, and you’re already making plans!
Wu Xiaoyu initially wanted to refuse outright, but seeing his hopeful eyes, he couldn’t bear it and replied:
“Alright! I’ll talk to him another day and let little Li teach you how to drive! But you’ve never driven before, I’m afraid you won’t tell the clutch from the accelerator and cause an accident!”
“It’s fine! I’m not afraid!” Wu Daqing said nonchalantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Dushan came up hesitantly and said, “Xiaoyu, can I… also give it a try?”
The other two cousins, seeing Wu Dushan asking, also came forward and expressed their desire to learn to drive.
None of them had a license, and they had barely been in a car a few times, yet they wanted to drive!
Such a request may seem excessive upon first hearing, and even comes off as dangerous, but they were all confined to the village and had not seen much of the world.
Even those old men in their fifties just now hadn’t ridden in a small car. A small car was still a novelty to them, and their interest and desire to try were understandable!
But what saddened Wu Xiaoyu was that while they were eager to try new things like cars and didn’t fear accidents,
they avoided opportunities that could make them wealthy like the plague, fearing failure. Perhaps this was the fundamental reason for Daxin Village’s poverty?
Wu Xiaoyu agreed to their request to drive, loaded the goods, and set off with little Li.
Upon reaching the town, Wu Xiaoyu greeted Zhou Dong, unloaded the native chickens and mushroom sauce into the Renji Chicken’s kitchen, and then went straight to the county.
Wu Xiaoyu handed over the notebook recording client details and demand to little Li and instructed him before taking the car to the city himself.
As soon as he sat in the car and stretched, his phone rang. He pulled it out and saw it was Mu Zhuangfei, quickly answered, and said with a smile: “I’m already on the way; I’ll be there by 10 a.m.!”
On the other end, Mu Zhuangfei, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile. This kid is quite sensible! I haven’t even urged him much, and he’s already on his way.
After hanging up, Mu Zhuangfei hurriedly instructed a police officer to go in plain clothes to wait for Wu Xiaoyu at the bus station.
The officer received the order but didn’t depart immediately, seeming to wait for something?
Mu Zhuangfei glared at him and scolded, “Why aren’t you leaving? Don’t you know military orders are as solid as mountains? What are you standing there for?”
The young newly transferred police officer, unexpectedly scolded, felt deeply aggrieved, with red eyes.
The police officer mustered up his courage and responded, “Chief, I haven’t seen the person you mentioned. Shouldn’t you give me a photo?”
Hearing this, Mu Zhuangfei got even more angry and cursed, “Aren’t you a reconnaissance team member? Can’t you even figure out who you’re picking up?”
The police officer, fearing he would further anger the chief, quickly responded, “Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!”
