Chapter 518: I'm So Valuable

I saw Qian Huaizhong ponder for a while before frowning and opening his mouth to say:

"You wanting to kill him is fine, but you also know what he does. Killing him is not cheap."

Song Mingdong had long been mentally prepared, so he gritted his teeth and asked: "How, how much?"

I saw Qian Huaizhong pinch all five fingers of his right hand together, while simultaneously saying:

"700 yuan, plus a 20 percent hard work fee, totaling 840 yuan."

Although Song Mingdong had expectations in his heart, the price Qian Huaizhong mentioned was genuinely far from his expectations.

So, Song Mingdong was stunned.

After a while, seeing Song Mingdong didn't react, Qian Huaizhong subconsciously urged:

"Little brother, pay up."

Hearing the urging, Song Mingdong stammered:

"I didn't bring that much money, how about... how about, I'll take 640 first, that 200, that 200, let's delay it for two days..."

The reason Song Mingdong said 640 is because the carriage and wheels, in a hurry, only sold for 590, and the two had 50 yuan in their hands together before.

Qian Huaizhong, upon hearing this, didn't make things difficult, but said very readily:

"Fine, anyway, I know where your house is, I'm not afraid of you running."

After all, 840 yuan in this era is genuinely not a small amount; people who can take out 640 yuan at once are actually few.

Most importantly, everything must be done in order of arrival; after Wang An's business is finished, if there are no accidents, the employer Song Mingdong will be gone.

But if the employer is gone, who pays? If no one pays, what work is being done?

So if the work isn't done, money or no money doesn't matter.

Free money, no amount is too little.

Besides, no matter how beastly a person or unit is, money cannot be demanded from a dead person.

And people like Qian Huaizhong, whose conscience hasn't completely vanished, absolutely won't go looking for Song Mingdong's family.

Song Mingdong, upon hearing this, was instantly ecstatic, and while taking out money, said:

"Don't worry, Boss Qian, I wouldn't dare to owe your money even if I owed anyone else's."

Qian Huaizhong smiled but didn't answer.

It was mainly because he was about to find someone to kill the other party, so Qian Huaizhong really couldn't say those insincere words at this moment.

When Song Mingdong walked out of this gatehouse room with a laugh, Qian Huaizhong immediately said to the person sitting on the side, who was the one who led Song Mingdong into the room just now: "Tie Dan, go and solve this whatever Dong Zi, and that Niu whatever. Let's not look for anyone else. After that, you take half the money. By the way, make it clean, don't be sloppy."

This Tie Dan, upon hearing that half the money would be his, immediately said with full excitement: "Thank you, Uncle Qian."

As he spoke, Tie Dan was about to turn and leave.

However, Qian Huaizhong stopped Tie Dan: "Wait a moment, take the money, and after finishing the business, go back to your hometown for two months before coming back."

"Hey, alright, Uncle Qian." Tie Dan promised, picked up the money from the table, and turned to leave.

Just after Tie Dan left the room, Wang An also came out of the toilet.

To be honest, Wang An had neither shit nor pee, but the old saying is good: shit and pee are like water in a sponge; when you can't squeeze it out, you squeeze hard, and more or less you can still squeeze a little out.

So, Wang An fumbled to undo his pants, then struggled to squeeze out a little shit and pee, finally fumbled to tie his pants, and when he finished all this, Song Mingdong had already left with a laugh.

After Wang An came out of the toilet, he said to the person in the courtyard who had been staring at him while taking out cigarettes: "How is it, Big Brother, is it finished inside? Can I enter the room now?"

This person said with a smile: "Yeah, go in."

Before Wang An entered the room, Qian Huaizhong's subordinates had already entered the room in advance and reported Wang An's business to Qian Huaizhong.

So seeing Wang An enter the room, Qian Huaizhong was not surprised at all.

I saw Qian Huaizhong look at Wang An unhappily and say: "Why haven't you left yet? Do you know I'm already sick of you?"

Wang An directly ignored Qian Huaizhong's attitude, and at the same time acted as if he didn't hear Qian Huaizhong's words, but asked Qian Huaizhong with a grin:

"How is it, Uncle Qian, how much did you sell me for? How about you give me the money, and then I'll just kill myself, what do you say?"

Qian Huaizhong, upon hearing this, smiled and said without hiding anything:

"Sold for a total of 840, only gave 640, still owe 200. How about it, do you want to take this job?"

Wang An said with a laugh: "Am I so valuable now? That's good."

The two said a few more nonsense words, and Wang An then rode away.

Wang An was still very relieved about Qian Huaizhong's handling of things, so he didn't bother with the following matters and rode home.

The next morning, Wang An drove the carriage with Mu Xueqing and ran to his father-in-law's house.

On one hand, Mu Xueqing wanted to go back to her maiden home to take a look, and on the other hand, Wang An also had to let Mu Xueli prepare; they should be setting off in these two days.

Most importantly, the Oroqen horses hadn't been bought yet; Wang An planned to call Mu Xueli and Wang Li, and then the three of them would go buy them together.

The Mu Hua family now can be said to have completely recovered, having both medicine and supplements, and the key is that they are not short of money.

So after such a long period of recuperation, although Mu Hua's body couldn't be completely cured, there was basically no major problem.

The key is that in terms of work, as long as one is careful and doesn't overwork, there is basically no problem.

When everyone was chatting, after hearing about Wang An getting beaten, Mu Hua insisted on teaching Wang An a few moves.

Although Mu Xueli boasted that Mu Hua's martial arts were genuinely quite powerful, in Wang An's view, Mu Hua absolutely couldn't beat Zhang Shuya.

Fortunately, the three moves Mu Hua taught Wang An were all very simple and practical.

And the move Wang An practiced best was called "Iron Mountain Lean." Wang An felt that this move was simply tailor-made for him; it was just too damn useful.

Staying at his father-in-law's house for a day, he also mentioned the matter of gold panning and the matter of buying horses to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

For such a matter of getting rich, the couple naturally agreed to everything. Liu Ruxin even wanted to take money for buying horses for Mu Xueli, but was stopped by Wang An.

It was mainly because after Wang An sold all the furs and bear gallbladders last time, the money between the three hadn't been divided yet.

However, Wang An had long calculated the accounts; last time at Jia Renlu's place, they sold a total of 12450 yuan.

But it included the bear gallbladder Wang An killed alone, as well as the wolf and jackal furs Wang An's family killed during the New Year.

Therefore, Wang An didn't calculate it in detail; anyway, giving Mu Xueli and Wang Li 2600 yuan each was about right.

Before dusk, so that Wang An and Mu Xueqing wouldn't be caught in the dark when returning home, Liu Ruxin prepared the meal early.

After eating and drinking their fill, the Wang An couple drove the carriage home.
