Zhao Dong calmed down and then asked, "Dazhi, tell me, what's going on with uncle?"
He was deeply impressed by Uncle Yu, who was a good cook. When he was a child, he often stayed at his house and had a meal.
He is a very nice person, honest, kind-hearted, and polite to everyone. I have never seen him lose his temper.
Yu Zhi's face wasn't very pretty. He took a sip of tea and then explained everything.
After hearing this, Zhao Dong felt a little gloomy.
It turns out that the two of them took on a decoration job out of town last year, covering everything from materials to decoration. If it was completed, they would have 70,000 to 80,000 yuan left over.
As a result, problems arose during the construction stage. It was not that the quality was not good, but that the owner insisted on knocking off a load-bearing beam, saying it was not good-looking and would affect Feng Shui.
Although I don't know anything about architecture and structural mechanics, I have been doing renovations for so many years and I know that the load-bearing beams cannot be easily moved.
However, my father was easy to talk to, and the owner added money and promised that even if there were problems in the future, they would not be blamed, so I agreed.
The result was unexpected and trouble arose the next day.
The property management company connected water and electricity, the police cordoned off the site, and people from the developer also arrived.
It is said that it affects the overall earthquake-resistant structure of the building. After evaluation, it seems that a compensation of more than 600,000 yuan will be required.
At this time, the owner retorted and refused to admit it. He said that the decoration was all left to the two father and son, without any involvement or knowledge.
Finally, as a last resort, both parties filed a lawsuit, with the owner and them each bearing half of the responsibility.
With the compensation of more than 300,000 yuan reduced, Uncle Yu's hair turned gray overnight. Coupled with the constant self-blame, the psychological pressure was too great, and he left not long after.
When Yu Zhi said this, the big man cried out, "Damn it, Dongzi, how honest is my dad? Tell me, how dare we do that without the consent of the owner?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, "With a compensation of more than 300,000 yuan, how many years will we have to work? Aren't they looking down on us part-time workers?"
Zhao Dong patted his shoulder and said, "I understand you. When I have time, I will accompany you to visit your uncle's grave."
Yu Zhi wiped his tears and said, "Okay, let's not talk about those bad things. I heard that your wife is quite rich, and you have the ability!"
"How did you know?"
"My sister told me that there is an Audi parked downstairs at your house. I guess your kid can't afford it. It should belong to your wife."
"Then when I have time, I will introduce you to him."
Although Zhao Dong said this, he was a little confused in his heart, fearing that Sophie would not give him face.
"What are you doing now? I heard from my aunt some time ago that you work as a security guard in the community. Aren't you very good in the army? How did you end up like this?"
"Don't mention the past."
Zhao Dong didn't say anything else. He understood what Yu Zhi meant. It wasn't that he looked down on the work of security guards, but that he felt that using his own abilities to be a security guard was an understatement.
Yu Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, you can settle down for a while, and when there is a chance, we two brothers can do some business, and we won't suffer from the scorn of the rich!"
Neither of them said anything sad and started talking about the past.
Zhao Dong told him interesting stories about being a soldier, and Yu Zhi talked about what he had experienced outside in the past few years.
While chatting, Li Dan came over and said, "Brother Zhi, are you and Brother Dong friends?"
"That's right, we peed and muddled together for two hours!"
Li Dan looked forward to it, "Then tell me about Brother Dong's childhood, I want to hear it!"
The three of them chatted together quickly, and with the addition of a girl, the chat became much more interesting.
Yu Zhi gave full play to his skills of talking and made Li Dan laugh and cry.
While chatting, Zhao Dong's phone rang, and he got up to answer it.
After a while, he came back and said: "I have something else to do and I have to leave first. You guys can talk."
Yu Zhi also stood up, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "Forget it, go ahead and do the work."
"Come on, you think I'm like you, heterosexual and inhumane?"
After Yu Zhi finished speaking, he turned back to say hello, "Okay, sister Dandan, I'm leaving first. Let's go out to play another day. I'll tell you about Zhao Dong peeing his pants at school!"
Li Dan chuckled, "Then I'll wait to hear it."
Zhao Dong kicked him in the back, "Fuck you, I pissed your pants!"
The two of them talked, said goodbye to Li Dan, and then returned to the car.
Sister-in-law Li waved at the bar, "Xiao Dan, who is that next to Zhao Dong?"
"He's a friend of Brother Dong."
"Oh? He's a native of Tianzhou. What does he do?"
"It seems like he's running an online ride-hailing service."
Sister-in-law Li lost interest and said, "Oh, what about online car-hailing? It's just the owner of the car. I saw you guys chatting so happily just now. I thought you had some skills. I'm warning you, don't contact him in the future."
Li Dan didn't respond.
Sister-in-law Li lost her temper and said, "Hey, you are a dead girl. Are you mute while I'm talking to you? I'm telling you, I've arranged a blind date for you this afternoon. Dress up nicely!"
Li Dan turned around and left.
Sister-in-law Li chased after me and asked, "I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
…
Zhao Dong walked away sullenly.
The call was from Jiang Ying, telling him not to worry. Zhao Dong was a little worried and decided to go over and take a look.
There was a black Kia K5 parked not far away, and Yu Zhi opened the door first.
Zhao Dong got on the car and asked, "The car is nice, quite spacious, and you are so awesome, you have four wheels."
Yu Zhi sighed, "Hey, second-hand cars are not valuable. After working for all these years, I have nothing left. I bought such a junk car with the little money I had left."
He casually wiped the workbench with a cloth, and then joked, "You kid, you sit in your wife's Audi every day and come to me to cry for poverty?"
Seeing that he felt sorry for the car, Zhao Dong suppressed his craving for cigarettes, lowered the window and said, "Where is your wife? Why didn't you mention her?"
He knew about Ma Zhi's marriage, but he was in the army at that time and had a mission, so he couldn't make it back, so he asked his mother to take the two thousand yuan with him.
"She ran away. I was working hard outside, and she used my money to support a wild man. In the end, she didn't even have a home!"
Zhao Dong's eyes were complicated. It seemed that Yu Zhi's life had not been very good in the past few years after graduation, and he had encountered all kinds of bad things. However, his brother could do nothing but comfort him.
Yu Zhi started the car and forced a smile: "I'm telling you, don't look at me like this. I have something to ask you. That Li Dan...where is she from?"
The two brothers have known each other for many years. When Yu Zhi opened his mouth, Zhao Dong knew what he meant.
"It seems that the girl from the rural areas in the surrounding districts and counties is nice, ambitious, and pretty, but she has a rather difficult sister-in-law who is quite snobbish."
"Why do I feel that she is interested in you?"
"It's impossible for both of us. She has already met my wife."
"Really? I won't be polite to you brother!"
Zhao Dong smiled and said, "It's up to you."
Yu Zhi turned his head suspiciously, "Oh, let me go, Dongzi, what's going on with you, are you afraid of your wife? Or is your wife too beautiful, making you think that the women outside are just trash?"
Zhao Dong said immodestly, "All of them."
For an ordinary man, having a wife like Sophie would really make his life worthwhile.
Have a body, appearance, temperament, and most importantly, money!
Of course, no one is perfect in this world.
If we have to talk about shortcomings, it would be that the eldest lady has a difficult temper and is used to being aloof, and does not touch housework or the kitchen.
If you marry such a woman, you must be prepared to be strict with your wife.
