Who would marry into the family after being reborn?.

Chapter 143: If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too.
This was originally a return trip.

Wu Wei planned to stop in the provincial capital to visit the Red Star Machinery Factory to purchase a brick-making machine.

As a result, the Qiao Guoliang incident happened.

Not only is there one more person on the road, but there is also an extra expense.

Wu Wei was worried that Qiao Guoliang would cause trouble again when he arrived in the provincial capital.

In addition, the rotary kiln has just started to be built, and the brick kiln factory is in a state of disrepair.

Even if the brick-making machine is purchased, there is no place to put it.

It would be better to wait until the kiln is almost built and the brick kiln factory is almost finished after the new year.

Come here specially to buy.

After all, as long as Wu Wei keeps trading treasury bonds, he will have no shortage of opportunities.

So the return ticket that night was directly back to Pengcheng.

The three of them took care of each other along the way and everything was safe and sound.

Around three o'clock in the morning, we arrived in Pengcheng under the stars.

As I came out of Pengcheng Railway Station, the cold weather from the north suddenly hit me.

In addition, it was still dark, and I felt as if I had been thrown into an ice cellar.

Wu Wei immediately took the two of them and found a noodle restaurant.

Each of them had a bowl of hot noodle soup, and after swallowing it all, they felt themselves coming back to life.

Then he ran to the nearby bus station, took the first minibus ticket back to the county town, and rushed back to the county town without stopping.

Even so, when we returned to Beilun, it was still bright outside.

As soon as he got off the car, Qiao Guoliang excitedly took the phone number Wu Wei gave him and wanted to give it a try.

Wu Wei raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "It would be a wonder if you could find anyone if you called over at this time! If you have the time, you might as well go home and report that you are safe."

Qiao Guoliang thought about it and it made sense.

It is true that it is easy to get through the phone at this time in the morning, but there is a high probability that no one will answer.

As for going home to report safety first?
Qiao Guoliang knew without thinking that this was a dead end.

Even though he had gifts for everyone in his family in his bag, he didn't have the courage to do it.

But on the surface, he still tried to hold on and said, "How about you come back with me? Then we can hold a welcoming banquet and a thank-you banquet together, and it will save my mother from having to work twice."

Wu Wei laughed when he heard this: "I have a lot of things to do. I don't know when I can finish them."

Qiao Guoliang insisted: "I'll wait for you."

So Wu Wei had no choice but to take the two of them back to the courtyard on Bayi Road.

There was no one in the courtyard on Bayi Road during the day.

Only Dahuang hid under the eaves, watching over the house silently.

Wu Wei opened the door and entered the house. The three-burner coal stove had its damper closed, leaving only a few small gaps.

Even so, the warmth inside the house is incomparable to that outside.

Wu Wei and Ma Haitao took off the military coats they had been wearing all the way, then fetched a pair of scissors and started to remove the stitches.

Qiao Guoliang touched the cup and poured himself a cup of tea.

Then he silently watched the master and disciple take money out of their tattered military coats.

At first, Qiao Guoliang remained calm. After all, this way of hiding money was not uncommon.

But when the great unity on the Eight Immortals Table became more and more, Qiao Guoliang began to feel restless.

Just like that, the two military coats were only half taken apart.

How much money will it cost to completely demolish it?

After an hour or so, Qiao Guoliang finally got the answer, which was 13 yuan.

In comparison, he only earned a few thousand yuan by working hard, enduring a beating, and going to a detention and repatriation center.

Not even a fraction of that.

After confirming the number was correct, Wu Wei ordered 30 big unity tickets to Ma Haitao on the spot and said, "This is your reward for your hard work. Take it back and buy a new car."

Ma Haitao subconsciously declined.

After all, he hadn't spent a penny these past few days, and had been eating, drinking, and running around. Now, how could he get any reward for his hard work?

Seeing this, Qiao Guoliang said, "Take it!"

Then he said to Wu Wei: "If I had known, I would have done it with you too."

But Wu Wei responded: "With your body, can you take a beating or bluff?"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Qiao Guoliang had given up resisting. After all, he had lost face in front of Wu Wei, his cheap brother-in-law.

After counting the money, Wu Wei roughly coded it and divided it into two parts.

Then, holding two silk scarves that she had bought at the First Department Store, she stood up and said, "I'm going to run some errands. Haitao, take this opportunity to buy a new car. I'll be back soon after I finish my work, and it'll be just right for the three of us to ride a bike each."

Qiao Guoliang was left alone, so he volunteered, "I'll go with you."

In this way, Qiao Guoliang accompanied Ma Haitao, rode Ma Jinbao's old bicycle, and went to Xingfu Road.

Wu Wei also locked the door and went straight to the Bayi Road Bank.

He first deposited a savings certificate for 80,000 yuan, and then took the remaining 50,000 yuan directly to the meat processing factory.

Today is thursday.

Although it is New Year's Day, there is no holiday.

So as soon as Wu Wei arrived at the meat processing factory, he easily found two beauties in the factory.

The three of them found an empty meeting room and counted the money in person.

Finally, Wang Jing held the money in her arms, but still stretched out her hand to Wu Wei and asked, "Where's the gift?"

It turns out that this woman cares more about gifts than business.

Fortunately, Wu Wei was well prepared and brought two identical scarves.

In the eyes of Wang Jing and Yu Lili, Wu Wei was treating both of them equally.

But in Wu Wei's view, it was just a casual souvenir.

The price is not expensive and anyone can use it.

After finishing all this, Wu Wei returned to the courtyard on Bayi Road.

Ma Haitao has already bought a new bike and is riding it back and forth on the Bayi Road ahead.

It felt so fresh, just like when you first learned how to ride a bike.

The three of them went to a noodle shop on Bayi Road and had a bowl of beef noodles to fill their stomachs.

Wu Wei then said to Qiao Guoliang: "Let's go, it's time to go back."

Now it was Qiao Guoliang's turn to hesitate, "How about we wait until dark before going back?"

Are you afraid of being embarrassed when you go back during the day?
Wu Wei laughed and said jokingly, "It's okay to go back later. Master will be off work soon. I'll make you a meal of bamboo shoots and fried pork. You can skip dinner."

Qiao Guoliang obviously had experience with this, and even his buttocks tensed up when he heard it.

After a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind. If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife too. Let's go back!"

So the three of them each pushed a cart and went out.

Ma Haitao was naturally riding a new bike, and Wu Wei's 28-inch bicycle was not old either.

Only Ma Jinbao's old bike, which Qiao Guoliang was riding, made a rattling sound along the way.

However, he had no time to care about these things. He was worried and was thinking with a frown about how to face his parents and the villagers.

All the way out of the Beiguan Bridge, Ma Haitao pedaled the new bike very fast.

Wu Wei was walking in the middle, not too far away.

From time to time, he would turn around and urge Qiao Guoliang, "Hurry up!"

No matter how long Qiao Guoliang hesitated, he returned to Taoyuan Village in half an hour.

Wu Wei did not stop when he passed by the fenced yard, and did not stop when he passed through the village office.

He pedaled all the way to the gate of Qiao's compound.

Qiao Moli, who had been standing on the stone roller at the door, jumped down and clapped her hands, saying, "Brother Guoliang looks fine, with no missing arms or legs..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Hong next to him glared at him fiercely.
