In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 2 Pay back the money
Upon hearing that Yu Laonian was going to call the police, Gao's wife didn't think much of it and bravely stood up, shouting, "Go ahead and call! Do you think my Gao family is a pushover? You think you're in the right to shoot?"

Yu Dawei gave Old Lady Gao a disdainful smile, knowing that she would soon be crying.

"Dabai, come here." Yu Dawei squatted down and stroked Dabai's head. This time, he was very grateful that Dabai stayed by his side and kept him warm.

Looking at the big white dog snuggling affectionately against him, Yu Dawei felt a pang of guilt.

In my past life, one night I took my wife and children to visit my neighbor. Da Bai had just given birth to a litter of babies, and the two brothers from the Gao family took advantage of Da Bai's weak condition and kidnapped her.

By the time he finally found the two brothers, Big White had already been turned into a pot of dog meat, and the litter of puppies that had just been born had already frozen to death on that cold winter night.

What makes Yu Dawei feel most guilty is that he clearly heard the barking of Da Bai in his own yard that night, but he was too careless to pay attention, which led to the tragedy.

He may have made a mistake, but he won't let the two brothers surnamed Gao off the hook.

Two police jeeps quickly arrived in the village. After understanding the cause and effect and the value of the equipment, the four officers took the two Gao brothers away.

Although Gao Jun and Gao Qiang had been caught stealing chickens and dogs before, they had never seen such a big scene before. They were so frightened that they trembled all over. The tall Gao Jun was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and cried out for his parents.

Old Lady Gao immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to Yu Laonian and Yu Dawei, saying that it was pointless to say anything about past friendship.

Only after the police car drove away did Old Lady Gao realize that all was lost. She lost her composure and fainted, and was taken home by several members of the Gao family's collateral branches.

Yu Dawei certainly couldn't escape unscathed, after all, he fired a shot, and it was a shot at a person.

The authorities have been issuing notices to confiscate guns since last year. Even though Yujiatun is relatively remote, the law must prevail over sentiment and no leniency can be shown.

Yu Dawei thought he would be detained for at least ten days or half a month, but the young Officer Hao only confiscated his hunting rifle and gave him a demerit.

Old Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went back home and took out two old-fashioned hunting rifles, one long and one short, both passed down from his ancestors. He handed them all to the other party.

After giving Yu Dawei a verbal commendation, Officer Hao secretly told him before leaving, "The authorities are currently cracking down on some malpractices. This incident can definitely be used as a case study. They even confiscated several guns. Consider it a favor I, Hao Jianqiang, owe you. Come to town sometime and I'll treat you to drinks."

Finally, Officer Hao revealed that these two people were caught in the eye of the storm, and then a high-ranking city official came to inspect them. In addition, they had a considerable amount of money involved, so they wouldn't be able to get out for at least ten or twenty years.

Yu Dawei felt that this result couldn't be better; without those two bastards, the village could finally have some peace and quiet.

The village was quiet now; everyone went home. The father and son stood facing the wind and snow, watching the car drive away.

"Xiao Fan didn't argue with you, did he?" Old Yu sighed inwardly, glancing at his troublesome eldest son with his hands behind his back.

This kid was spoiled by his grandma since he was a child. As he grew up, he did whatever he wanted, and even his own father couldn't control him.

When I was in junior high school, I swallowed my pride and begged my younger sister to bring Dawei to the city to study. But what happened was that he either got into fights or didn't study. And when he took the college entrance exam, he blamed me for not having a city household registration.

Going back to my hometown only brings more complaints and grievances, it's so annoying!
Later, they found him a wife, but he didn't want her and insisted on finding one himself. As a result, he found a wife who was completely useless.

The old woman complained every day that her daughter-in-law was bullying her. As her father-in-law, she couldn't hit her or scold her, so in the end, she was forced to separate the family.

After thinking about it, all he could think about were upsetting things. Old Yu sighed listlessly.

The only thing that changed his opinion of him was that Dawei handled the matter today with swift and decisive action, without any hesitation or pretense, and unlike before, he didn't act like a pushover.

This slightly changed his opinion of his useless son.

"I haven't told her yet that this equipment was bought with a loan from loan sharks." Yu Dawei grinned, his two rows of neat teeth trembling awkwardly in the wind under the moonlight.

Yu Laonian: "..."

Forget it, there's no greater sorrow than a broken heart.

He frowned habitually, and like everyone else, he pulled his wife and turned to go back to his own home.

"Hey Dad, could you help me move the equipment back?"

"Get lost! Just looking at it annoys me!" Yu Dawei watched his parents' departing figures. His mother turned back and looked at him with heartache, then turned her head and secretly tried to persuade his father. His father remained unmoved and resolutely walked into the yard with his wife.

Having completely calmed down, he finally realized one thing.

He was truly reborn, returning to the snowy winter of December 1992.

He was only 22 years old that year! Although he was already married, he was still very young. That year, China began to vigorously promote infrastructure construction. The infrastructure boom not only changed the appearance of every city, but also continued to build railways and highways. This was the beginning of a period of vigorous development.

In the wind and snow, he also saw his two younger sisters. He wanted to greet them, but they gave him cold looks, so Yu Dawei could only smile bitterly.

"It's just the two of us left, Da Bai, cheer me on." Yu Dawei reached out and stroked Da Bai's head, then turned around and went to the tricycle to move the equipment by himself.

"Woof woof!" Big White jumped and bounced around Yu Dawei.

It was like this when he bought it; he carried it bit by bit through the snow all by himself. He bought the equipment for 30,000 yuan at a 4/50 profit margin, and everyone in the village called him a daredevil. Maybe he was before, but definitely not now!
"Have you ever thought that they're not stealing from other people's homes, but instead targeting you, Yu Dawei?"

In the wind and snow, a gaunt old man, fully armed with a dog-skin hat and gloves, bent over and pulled hard on the air pump.

Yu Dawei looked up and saw the old man, his heart warmed, and he tightened his grip on his hands: "I know, no matter if I borrowed money from loan sharks or bought the equipment with my own money, there will always be people in the village who are jealous, afraid that they will live better than him in the future. Besides, my father is the richest man in our village."

The old man glanced at him in surprise, then forcefully dragged the air compressor into the warehouse. He had a good feeling; it seemed the simpleton had finally figured things out tonight!
He thought for a moment, then looked up at the moon and let out a long breath: "People are not worried about scarcity, but about inequality. You should pay attention to that in the future."

Yu Dawei also sighed. Only after going through it all again did he understand the importance of keeping a low profile. Especially in rural life, it's always better to be low-key.

"Dad, I plan to return the equipment tomorrow and pay off the loan sharks." Yu Dawei looked at his father, whose face was already somewhat aged, and the few white hairs gleamed silver in the moonlight.

"It's good that you know what's going on." Old Yu nodded and walked to the tricycle, silently accompanying his eldest son as he moved the equipment.

No one knew how much relief was hidden beneath his calm expression. He especially wanted to tell Dawei, "It's never too late for a prodigal son to turn back."

But he was afraid that he would become complacent, so he decided against it.

"What are you planning to do in the future?" Old Yu asked timidly.

"I want to own an excavator," Yu Dawei said.

Yu Laonian: "..."

Sure enough, he was right not to praise him.

He figured out why he wanted to buy an excavator while lying in the pile of firewood.

This was a time when China was vigorously promoting infrastructure construction, and the more engineering equipment the better. Moreover, in his previous life, he had spent his entire life repairing engineering vehicles and had seen many bosses who had become rich by owning excavators.

Excavators can be used for everything from crushing rocks and mining to road construction, building houses, and digging ditches, making them far more versatile than other construction vehicles.

This is why many big bosses started their construction vehicles with excavators.

Even in 92, excavators weren't cheap, but Yu Dawei wasn't afraid.

Having spent his entire life repairing excavators, both domestic and foreign, Yu Dawei is capable of solving any problem.

If he could go back to 1992, his biggest advantage would be his extensive experience in car repair.

So he had to maintain excavators, from one to two, to many, and then road rollers and loaders!

If possible, he even wants to create a heavy industry brand that belongs to China!

That heart, which had long since died in its previous life, began to beat powerfully again at this moment of returning to 1992!

It's been so long! I'm finally back on Qidian to start a new book. Thank you all for your support and love. I wish you all happiness and prosperity every day!
