Chapter 50
"It's far away in the sky, it's near in front of you." When saying this, Chen Xijiu pointed to the small blackboard in front of the foreman's desk in secret.
Everyone knows what it is written on the small blackboard. It has not been a workplace here for a day or two. During the time I came to Chungang, Wu Shihao and his group would come here to work together as long as there is work at the wharf.
Chaozhou people have always been hard-working. As long as they can move their hands and feet, they will definitely think of ways to make a living. However, they must do what they can and try even if they know that they cannot do. That is a sham.
"Xijiu, are you trying to pay attention? I advise you not to try it easily." Wu Shihao said, looking at the big man who was collecting bamboo sticks beside the foreman.
"That guy is called Dali Liu. Martial is like a cow. If you want to compete with him, you might as well dig a hole and bury yourself as soon as possible. Although we are fellow villagers, we can't make up money to buy you a coffin, and it's okay to add a straw mat to you." Another brother of Wu Shihao spoke.
This brother is named Chen Dawen. He is very kind-looking and is also the only person with a relatively educated personality among Wu Shihao and his group.
"Awen, don't say that Xijiu, everyone is a fellow villager, Xijiu is just a joke." Wu Shihao said this to give Chen Xijiu a chance to get out of the way, so as not to lose his face.
From this point of view alone, Chen Xijiu could see that Wu Shihao is a capable person. There is a reason why Wu Ming and Chen Dawen followed Wu Shihao and were led by him.
Chen Xijiu smiled slightly, patted Wu Shihao's powerful arm, and said, "Of course I don't have the strength to challenge that Dali Liu, but Brother Hao, you have the opportunity to make a lot of money in front of you, why not give it a try?"
A challenge can win a prize of fifty yuan. Fifty yuan can certainly be called a big money in this era. They worked so hard that they could last afternoon and then be deducted, and they only got three or four yuan.
"Brother, you are deliberately cheating us Brother Hao? Although Brother Hao is the strongest among us, he is far worse than that Dali Liu. Don't be able to find trouble, okay? You're such a lunatic!" Wu Ming tilted his hooked nose, looking unhappy.
He had heard Chen Xijiu say he ran out of a mental hospital before and thought it was a joke. Now, thinking about it, I'm afraid it's true.
Wu Shihao waved his hand to Wu Ming, not allowing Wu Ming to reveal Chen Xijiu's shortcomings. He is all from Chaozhou. Even if he is really mentally ill, he is still his brother. Besides, he is able to escape from a well-regulated mental hospital.
"Xijiu, it's not that I, Wu Shihao, don't want to make this big money, but... I really don't have that strength. We Chaozhou people have always been down-to-earth in doing things and are whimsical." Wu Shihao said calmly.
"Brother Hao, even you think I, Chen Xijiu, will cheat you? You should answer me a question first. Am I from Chaozhou?" Chen Xijiu spoke Chaozhou dialect in a terrible way, with its original flavor.
Wu Shihao nodded. Do the fellow villager need to pretend to be a slut?
"Since Brother Hao admits that I am from Chaozhou, you should know that we Chaozhou people are the most united outside and never do anything about putting a knife behind their backs." Chen Xijiu's expression was very serious when he said this.
"But..." Wu Shihao hesitated. He didn't know where Chen Xijiu got his confidence, thinking that he could defeat Dali Liu 100%.
"Brother Hao, don't you believe me?" Chen Xijiu stared into his eyes.
Wu Shihao refused to speak.
Chen Xijiu turned his attention to the foreman, "You are so willing to be exploited by that bastard. The income he worked hard was taken to be delicious and spicy. Brother Hao, you really didn't think about getting the reward you received. You are willing to be a turtle with a headscarf. If that's the case, I won't say it."
"What are you saying? How do you say Brother Hao?!" The reckless man behind Wu Shihao was about to attack at that time, and he taught Chen Xijiu a lesson.
This rash man is called Dazhe, and his younger brother is called Xiaoxia. He only followed Wu Shihao not long ago. Dazhe. Although Xiaoxiao is vulgar and illiterate, he is better because he has strength and is loyal enough.
"What are you doing with Big Prawn?" Wu Shihao glared at the rash man, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and asked Chen Xijiu: "Xijiu, how sure are you thinking I can defeat Dali Liu?"
"Ten Thousands!" Chen Xijiu opened his hands and looked at everyone, "If Brother Hao lost, I am lying to you and playing tricks on his own brother, I will jump into the sea and commit suicide to apologize to you, can I?"
"Brother Hao, don't believe this lunatic..." Wu Ming hurriedly stopped it. He was just kidding, and even a person who ran out of a mental hospital could believe it even if he was talking big.
"Okay, I believe in you!" Wu Shihao said firmly at Chen Xijiu.
People who do big things are born with courage. Chen Xijiu had long guessed that Wu Shihao would agree. If someone else had no such courage, he would only treat him as a mental patient and speak lies.
Wu Shihao suddenly smiled freely and freely, "Don't worry so much. If you lose, you will be beaten at most. But if you win, we can not only make a profit, but also win back our dignity. No matter how we do it, it is a business that only makes money but not loses. Life is gambling. If you have more than 50% of your confidence, you can sacrifice your life. In the following nine, you are 100% sure, why not take a gamble?"
After hearing what Wu Shihao said, the others stopped talking.
"Walk!"
Wu Shihao waved his hand and walked towards the table where the foreman was in charge.
Chen Dawen privately patted Chen Xijiu on the shoulder and lowered his voice: "Brother, if you are really playing tricks on our Brother Hao, I promise that the vow you just made will be fulfilled."
The implication is that even if Chen Xijiu doesn't jump into the sea afterwards, they will catch him and throw him into the sea to feed the fish.
Chen Xijiu didn't say anything, just smiled. It was unreasonable that people would believe him. Wu Shihao was able to believe his words.
As Chen Xijiu talked to Chen Dawen, the place where the foreman exchanged money had already burst out. Soon, the noise spread throughout the wharf.
It has been a long time since people stepped on the sign of the foreman. People like to watch the fun, especially in such an era when entertainment projects are lacking, the news that Wu Shihao challenged Dali Liu is tantamount to a nuclear bombing. It didn't take long to make everyone know, and even the villagers near the dock came to watch.
Some people even opened a bet on the spot, defeating Wu Shihao or Dali Liu to win. The odds of the two sides were very different, and the people rushed to place bets.
"Awen, who will we win?" Wu Ming was undecided in holding the money he earned with the sack.
"That's all right, of course, Brother Buy Hao." Chen Dawen said firmly. No matter what the result was, he would support Wu Shihao.
"Dear guys, can you lend me a little?" Chen Xijiu asked everyone.
Even though I knew that Wu Shihao was sure to win, I didn’t have the money to place a bet, it was really a torment.
