Chapter 193 Satisfied
Although the working hours today were not long, as a driver, his duty was to transport as much cargo as possible. Li Weidong drove the truck and made two trips in the afternoon, returning to the courtyard at sunset.
As soon as he walked into the backyard, he saw Xu Damao cleaning the house. Li Weidong was satisfied that Qin Huairu listened to him.
When he heard footsteps, Xu Damao quickly recognized that it was Li Weidong, so his expression immediately became tense and he closed the door without saying a word. Although there was no solid evidence, Xu Damao was convinced that Li Weidong must have been behind the last time he was locked up in the fence.
In addition, seeing that Li Weidong's life was getting better and better, while he himself won the house but lost his wife and job, he naturally felt very unbalanced.
Xu Damao lay on the bed, looking at the mottled marks on the ceiling, his heart full of worries about the future. He had been fired by the steel mill, and it was very difficult to find a job in this era. He was familiar with some leaders because of the preview of the movie, but their requirements were very high. If he wanted to find a job, he had to meet their needs first.
So, the first step is definitely to make money as quickly as possible.
Xu Damao has made up his mind.
"Wife, didn't Xu Damao go to the street office in the past two or three days?" Li Weidong asked.
Yu Li, who was washing clothes, heard this question and shook her head and replied, "Yes, he really didn't go. Maybe he was embarrassed to investigate the matter, so he had to put it aside."
Li Weidong smiled and said, "Not necessarily. You still don't know Xu Damao very well. He never cares about face. As long as it is something he wants, he will fight for it by any means. I guess he may be planning something in private. If he goes to the street office for help, you don't need to intervene, just let Aunt Wang handle it."
Yu Li nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll make a note of it. Go and help me cut the bacon hanging outside. Soak it in hot water first, otherwise you won't be able to cut it later."
Hearing this, Li Weidong immediately stood up and walked out.
Just as he was about to take down the bacon hanging under the eaves, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Brother Weidong, Brother Weidong!"
Li Weidong turned around and found Zhang Xiaolin running towards him in a hurry.
"Young man, is it because you found out that I was going to make fried bacon with garlic sprouts today that you hurried over to eat?"
Zhang Xiaolin swallowed instinctively when he heard about the dish of pickled cabbage, green garlic and bacon. But he quickly came to his senses and realized that he had come to Li Weidong not for the meal, but because he had something very important to discuss.
"No, Brother Weidong, I just have something to say. Is it convenient for me to talk about it now?"
Li Weidong looked at Zhang Xiaolin, whose face was full of embarrassment, and guessed that he might have encountered some trouble.
Before that, he looked around to make sure no one noticed them, then asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhang Xiaolin rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Weidong, are you well off now? Can you lend me some money first?"
"Hmm?" Li Weidong looked Zhang Xiaolin up and down, frowning in dissatisfaction. "It's only been a few days since you got your salary? You've spent it all again? Tell me, how much money do you want this time?"
Zhang Xiaolin is a level 5 driver. With the sports car subsidy, his monthly income exceeds 60 yuan, but he often borrows money from his colleagues. But he always keeps his word. When he gets paid, he will pay off the money he owes as soon as possible, using the borrowed money to repay the debt. Other drivers in the team also lend him money.
Zhang Xiaolin looked at Li Weidong's expression tentatively and carefully extended two fingers.
"Twenty? All right then, I'll go get it for you in the house!"
As Li Weidong spoke, he turned and walked into the house. Zhang Xiaolin quickly stopped him and said, "Brother, it's not twenty!"
Li Weidong asked in confusion: "Not twenty? Then one dollar?"
Zhang Xiaolin immediately shook his head to deny it, like a rattle.
Li Weidong took a breath and raised his voice: "You want to borrow 200 yuan?"
Zhang Xiaolin was startled and asked him to "keep his voice down!"
Li Weidong said unhappily, "Why are you whispering so quietly? Do you think I'm a bank? You said it so casually, but you asked for two hundred yuan. That's half a year's salary for you! Are you going to get married? If that's the reason, I have no problem lending you the money!"
"No, I'm not..." Zhang Xiaolin stammered, and it was obvious that he had encountered some unspeakable secret.
This made Li Weidong even more curious.
"You have to explain things clearly, otherwise don't expect me to lend you money!" Li Weidong warned him.
Seeing his expression, Zhang Xiaolin knew that he could no longer hide the truth, so he stamped his feet and said frankly, "To tell you the truth, I had a car accident today!"
"Overturn? Explain clearly!"
Li Weidong looked serious.
So Zhang Xiaolin told Li Weidong about his experience in detail. He had been busy driving his car since he got his salary, and only today did he have time to think about the monthly charity event to save fallen women. So he went to Yanzhi Hutong, intending to help a few old acquaintances, but found out that their relatives had suddenly come to visit, so he had to give up. But he didn't want to make a wasted trip, so he asked a few friends to see if there were any open shops.
Fortunately, he actually found one.
Then he rushed over with great enthusiasm.
But the final result was beyond his expectations.
It turned out that this was indeed a trap.
It is a trap specially set up for those single people like Zhang Xiaolin who are willing to do charity.
As soon as he entered the room and before he had time to take off his coat, he saw a tall and well-proportioned man rushing in.
They just gave him the title of "saving fallen women"
He concentrated his energy and said through gritted teeth, "Although I am not a good person, I will not do such a thing! These people are habitual offenders at first glance. Just based on their shamelessness and courage, I will be in big trouble."
People around tried to persuade them, but some of the old-fashioned people even turned hostile and cursed at the "fallen woman" by pointing at her nose.
Li knew that if he continued like this, there might not be any results, so he immediately stepped forward and said to the "fallen woman", "You just scolded her quite happily, now look at this!"
After saying that, he threw the two homemade bricks onto the table with a clang, attracting everyone's attention.
As soon as the others saw what was going on, they all showed contemptuous looks, and the so-called "fallen woman" also tactfully retreated.
Shan had no choice but to take out the money that was still not warm enough to solve the problem. Unexpectedly, the other party was still not satisfied after receiving the money, and confiscated his driver's license and demanded 200 yuan to redeem it.
This was a problem. His driver's license was related to his job. If he lost it, his job would be gone. But how could he afford the huge sum of 200 yuan? He usually spent as much as he earned and could not save any money.
He dared not tell his family, as if his father knew, his legs would be broken. So, Shan had no choice but to ask Li for help.
After listening to Shan's description, Li looked at his embarrassed expression and couldn't help but scold him, "You deserve it! I warned you to find a decent wife, but you didn't listen. Now you're in trouble, right?"
Shan smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Li, I know I was wrong. Now only you can help me. Can you help me?"
Li sneered: "Naive, do you think you can get your driver's license back by giving them 200? They finally found a cash cow like you, will they let you go easily? If you give them 200 now, they will know that you are rich and will definitely ask for more!"
Shan said with a headache: "But I have no choice but to go along with them."
Li touched his chin and said, "We can't give them money, otherwise it will just be endless [Too much sensitive content, can't continue to be output]."
Shan asked anxiously: "What should I do then?"
"First, we need to find out their background and prescribe the right remedy. Tell me their address and what those two people look like."
"The address is the fifth house after entering Yanzhi Hutong. There is a wintersweet tree at the door, so it is easy to find. It was too dark at the time, so I couldn't see the woman clearly. She was probably a beauty. The man was very tall, with a long face, and his voice sounded familiar."
"Tall, with a long face?" The image of Xu Damao suddenly appeared in Li's mind, and he blurted out, "Could it be Xu Damao?"
Shan was stunned when he heard this, and then fell into thought: "Now that you put it that way, it does look a bit like it."
Li sneered, "It's almost there. If you're not someone who knows you well, how dare you ask for such a high price?"
Shan thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "This
Yu Li thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will bring this up with my boss when I go to work tomorrow."
"Well, the sooner we deal with it, the better."
"But what about Dan? His driver's license is still with Xu Damao. Will this matter involve him?"
Li shook his head and said, "It's impossible to get away with it. Xu Damao might make random accusations under such circumstances. But we can help him reduce his guilt in other ways."
Yu Li asked curiously, "How do we do it specifically?"
Li smiled and said, "It's very simple. You just need to tell him that he was commissioned by the neighborhood committee to conduct a secret investigation, and the problem will be solved. Even if Xu Damao insists that he has a criminal record, he is now trying to correct his mistakes and is actively acting as bait, which can also be a reason for his defense."
Yu Li's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she gave Li XX a thumbs up: "Weidong, you are so smart."
"Of course, otherwise how can I be your husband!"
Silent all night.
Back at the steel plant, Li was about to start the car when Secretary Zhou, the factory director's secretary, hurried over.
"Weidong, come with me!"
Li looked at Secretary Zhou with a puzzled look on his face: "What happened?"
Secretary Zhou shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The factory director gave me an order to take you to Jiefang Factory."
Hearing this name, Li frowned unconsciously, and the figure of Zhang Gong emerged in his mind.
After that unpleasant separation, Li Yuan thought that the matter had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect that she would come to him again.
