Chapter 353 Entering the Village
A young man beside him heard this and said, “Hundreds of thousands? That costs 700,000 to 800,000 yuan! Zhang Hao bought it! He must have built a five-story house in the village long ago. He’s really shameless. He deducts the salary of the workers in the village every day. He said that he couldn’t afford to pay them, but he bought this luxury car. He went out to work for a few years, but when he came back, he became a capitalist with his heart covered in lard!”
The old man at the side quickly said, “Don’t let him hear you! No matter what, Zhang Hao has brought a lot of jobs to the village. Without him, the roads in our village can’t be repaired.” The young man was unconvinced and said, “So what if he hears it? He wasn’t the one who gave us the job opportunity. It’s just that he invited a bid. In the end, aren’t we the ones who worked ourselves to death and sold our physical strength? He’s just exploiting us! Even without him, anyone else would have hired us to work!”
The old man said, “Other people will still exploit you, right? Zhang Hao is from the same village after all, so he won’t be too arrogant.
“Isn’t he arrogant? He brings a few lackeys to the village entrance all day long. If they don’t like anyone, they will make them kneel down and apologize…” The young man was indignant. A while ago, someone had been bullied by Zhang Hao to the point of kneeling down in public to beg him to be humiliated.
“Sigh, you, Zhang Hao has been petty for a long time. If we can get something to eat, we can just live quietly.” The old man sighed helplessly.
The young man was even more unhappy when he heard that. “So what if we’re going to tolerate him? Don’t think that he can do whatever he wants just because he has a few subordinates!”
However, although he said this, the young man felt a little guilty. After all, Zhang Hao’s strength was really not small.
Then, as they spoke, an engine roared and everyone looked to the other side.
As the Bugatti drove past, everyone began to look at it. The smooth lines, the impressive headlights, and the shining blue body made it obvious that it was an expensive sports car.
The young man was shocked. When he saw the car, he stood up immediately and was extremely shocked. Although he didn’t know what kind of car it was, he could tell from the design that it couldn’t be an ordinary business car. Sports cars were usually very expensive. It should be worth at least a million yuan, right?
Although the young man had never seen a real million-dollar sports car, he had seen many photos.
At this moment, when he saw a real sports car drive past him, the young man’s expression changed. All his words turned into an exclamation. “F*ck! This car!”
The old men looked at the young man’s surprised expression, but they could not understand it at all. They asked him in confusion, “Is this car good?”
“It’s good! That’s great! This car looks like it costs more than a million yuan! It’s much better than Zhang Hao’s Mercedes-Benz! No, I have to take a photo and post it online to ask what brand this car is!”
The elders were also stunned when they heard this.
More than a million?
Wouldn’t that… be enough to build many houses?
The youths and elders at the village entrance looked at Ye Xuan and Liu Yanran with their mouths agape, but the people in question did not notice at all.
The two of them found an empty s.p.a.ce to park, got out of the car, and walked towards a small path.
The house of Liu Yanran’s grandfather was located in the depths. There was no way to drive in, nor was there a place to turn the car around.
The two of them came to a two-story house.
There were some flowers and plants planted in the courtyard at the entrance. They were all trimmed very neatly. There were also some carpentry tools in the courtyard, indicating that the owner of the courtyard loved life.
Liu Yanran knocked on the door and realized that it was closed. When she entered, she realized that no one was inside.
After entering the house of Liu Yanran’s grandfather, Liu Yanran invited Ye Xuan to sit down. Then, she picked up a few fresh fruits from the fruit plate on the table and went to the kitchen to wash and peel them. After carefully cutting them into small pieces, she placed them on an exquisite plate and brought them out.
Ye Xuan looked at the house that was open on all sides and did not have any anti-theft facilities. He could not help but sigh at the peace of this village. This was what they meant by not closing the door at night and not picking up any remains on the road. This house was open from north to south. The windows everywhere were open casually. When he first entered, the door was not closed properly. At this moment, wind blew in from all directions, and Ye Xuan felt especially cool. “Looks like I made the right choice to come with you. This village feels really good. It’s rare to feel this comfortable outside now.” Ye Xuan took a toothpick and stuck an apple into his mouth as he chewed.
Liu Yanran sat down and smiled. “Look, my recommendation is naturally not wrong. I saw that there was no one on the second floor just now. It seems that my grandfather went out for something and hasn’t returned yet. Previously, he said that he has been guarding the door and helping people recently. Logically speaking, he should be back now. It’s really strange.”
“It’s fine. Let’s sit and wait. It’s very comfortable here anyway.” Ye Xuan looked at the layout of the room and saw that there were many wooden tools in the room. There were all kinds of interesting things, such as burr puzzles.
Ye Xuan asked, “Does your grandfather still work as a carpenter?”
Liu Yanran nodded and said helplessly, “My grandfather is the type who can’t stay idle at all. He has dabbled in carpentry, growing plants, calligraphy, and painting. However, so many hobbies aren’t enough for him to have fun. He insists on doing some work to be fulfilled. Seriously, the family gives him money every month. He just doesn’t know how to idle around.”
“Isn’t this good? It’s to contribute to society.” Ye Xuan ate the last piece of apple and threw the toothpick into the trash can. He continued, “Let’s go to where your grandfather is helping to take a look.”
Liu Yanran thought about it and felt that it was indeed not a good idea to just sit here and wait.
She might as well go to the factory to take a look, so she nodded at Ye Xuan.
After the two of them left the house of Liu Yanran’s grandfather, they walked for a while. When they were about to reach the factory, they saw a group of people standing there. These people were all blocking the area outside the factory. No one knew what they were doing. “What’s going on? Why are there so many people? What happened?” Liu Yanran looked from afar. There were too many people.
Standing so far away, she did not see her grandfather for a moment. “Let’s go over and take a look.”
After hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Liu Yanran and Ye Xuan ran to the group of people and squeezed into the crowd. They realized that this group of people was holding a banner at the entrance of the factory.
