I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 10: End of the Project and Changes [Please Collect and Read]

The project will be completed in a week at most.

He was not surprised because he had received the vaccination a few days ago, and it was very rare to do such a small job for three months.

However, he originally thought that he could at least wait until he awakened, but he didn't expect that the panel was so bad that there were still not enough source points.

I currently have less than 15,000 yuan in savings. If I don’t have any source of income, I can only last for two months at most.

But Uncle Ding told him not to worry, as he would be called immediately when there was work, and that with his strength, he would be in high demand at any construction site.

Uncle Ding also advised him not to do physical work for a long time, and to take advantage of the fact that he had made a lot of money during this period to take more rest and have a good New Year.

He had no idea that most of the money Xia Yuan earned was spent on food and he didn't save much money at all, but he didn't want to say that.

……

The project was completed two days earlier than expected. It took only five days from the time Uncle Ding notified us to the end.

After get off work, Xia Yuan received his last day's salary of 384 yuan.

During this period of time, we have been able to receive so much money almost every day. We were shocked at first, but now we have become accustomed to it.

"Xiao Yuan, let's have dinner together tonight to celebrate the completion of the project."

In the evening, Uncle Ding called a few fellow villagers who were working at the construction site to have a farewell dinner together.

Xia Yuan thought about it and decided that he couldn't always be so tense. He still needed some entertainment activities, so he didn't refuse.

After everyone's wages were settled, the eight of them went to Uncle Ding's house together, with a smile on everyone's face.

The project is completed and the money has been earned. We can finally take a break for a while and everyone can have a good year.

When they got home, their aunt had already prepared a large table of food, waiting for them to come over. It was obvious that she had informed them in advance.

Everyone gathered around the table. The country man obviously didn't know what being polite meant. Without the host's invitation, he took the initiative to fill his own glass with wine.

Xia Yuan didn't want to drink, but several grown men invited him so kindly and used moral coercion to fill his glasses, so he had no choice but to follow suit and fill his glasses with wine.

"Hey, put it down, Xiao Xia, I'll help you pour the wine. My eyes are like a ruler, I'll make sure everyone gets the same amount."

At the beginning he was a little restrained when having dinner with these people, but after a few rounds of toasts, the atmosphere suddenly became lively and people talked a lot louder.

"Make way. The dry pot pig intestines you ordered are here. Eat slowly. There will be a stir-fried kidney later."

While everyone was eating, my aunt brought out freshly cooked dishes from the kitchen.

Feeling the atmosphere at this moment, Xia Yuan seemed to be back to the time when he met with his classmates in Seoul. The scene was the same every time.

It was this atmosphere that allowed him to gradually get out of the sadness of the past.

Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since we had dinner together.

"Xiao Xia, don't tell me, I really admire you. A college student can actually endure more hardships than us laborers who have been doing hard labor for a long time."

"He's a man, come on, let's go."

A strong man next to him was holding a glass of wine. He said a few words to Xia Yuan and then drank it all in one gulp.

"How could that be, uncle? When you were young, you were definitely better than me. When I reach your age, I will definitely not be as good as you."

As soon as they took a sip of the wine, everyone cheered.

Xia Yuan felt his throat burning like fire, and he quickly took a few bites of food to suppress the drunkenness.

This home-brewed sorghum liquor from the countryside is incredibly strong, and most people wouldn't be able to handle it. In the past, even a single glass would have been enough to make me cringe. But today, after a single glass, I wasn't noticeably drunk, clearly due to my improved physique.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the group's interest in chatting remained undiminished.

Uncle Ding started talking about something.

"Have you heard what happened in Lao Qin's family?"

"Speaking of this, Lao Qin is really a piece of shit. He deserves to be beaten to death."

Xia Yuan had no idea about this kind of gossip in the village. He hadn't been back for so many years and basically didn't know anyone there. After he came back, he hardly communicated with the people in the village.

Now I heard that something seemed to be happening, so I asked.

"Which Lao Qin? What happened? Uncle, can you please speak more clearly?"

A burly man sitting on his right sighed and explained the reason.

"He's the son of Granny Li, who used to run the grocery store. You should have some impression of him. Old Qin was gambling online and was in debt. He came back a while ago and not only took away all our savings, he also borrowed money from many people in the village."

He took a sip of wine and continued, "Then he disappeared. I heard he was sold abroad as a laborer. Some say he's dead. There are all sorts of rumors."

"It's not a pity for a person like him to die. He deserves it. But those people who borrowed money from him will probably lose everything. Money is not easy to make these days. They just lost it like that. Anyone wouldn't be angry."

"Who says it's not true? That bastard borrowed 10,000 yuan from me, saying he'd pay it back in two months at most. Now he's nowhere to be found, alive or dead."

After listening to everyone's explanation, Xia Yuan finally realized that this was Qin Shuai's father. No wonder he had been in that state for some time. It turned out to be because of this reason.

"Have you gone to his house to ask Grandma Li? He should have contacted his mother, right? And his wife?"

Uncle Ding took a puff of his cigarette and shook his head.

"Don't even mention it. His wife ran off with someone else a long time ago. His mother had no idea what was going on at first. She only found out when everyone went to his house to ask for money. She was so angry that she fainted. We just sent her away a few days ago."

Xia Yuan was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

"That's not right. Why haven't I heard of anyone holding a funeral in the village during this period?"

"It's all because of this incident. My son disappeared, my wife ran away, and he cheated so many people in the village out of their money, leaving behind only a grandson and granddaughter."

"I was too embarrassed to inform the rest of the village about this, so I kept the body at home for two days before cremating it. The neighbors took pity on me and helped out, so in the end, everyone just took a loss."

"I just feel sorry for those two children. They are so young and helpless. I don't know what they will do in the future."

Everyone talked at once and recounted the entire process, leaving Xia Yuan with mixed feelings.

So many things happened while he was wholeheartedly accumulating source points.

Ultimately, this incident certainly cannot be blamed on the villagers who went to her house to ask for money. Everyone just talked about the whole story and didn't make a fuss.

It's simply because Qin Shuai's father is a piece of shit himself. Even after his death, he dragged a group of people to take the blame for him.

He just couldn't accept the fact that this was the end of the kind old lady's later years.

Life is often more miserable than what is written in books.

Not long after this topic ended, everyone said goodbye and left one by one.

Walking on the way home, feeling the cold wind blowing in the air, Xia Yuanchao spat on the ground and cursed under his breath.

"You bastard, you're not a human being!"
