I don't know if it's because he has sold goods in the surrounding area, but the car hasn't stopped since it got on the main road in the afternoon.

It wasn't until it was dark that it stopped in a town.

Ye Yaodong and the others couldn't do anything because of the bumps, and it was hard to endure. They thought they would stop in the town to sell goods, but they didn't expect that after the car stopped, they looked up and it was already a guesthouse, and the whole car of goods was still intact.

The person walked over and asked, "Are you okay? Stay in the guesthouse for one night first, and don't rush on the road overnight. Are you in a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry, just listen to your arrangements."

"That works."

"Didn't stop to sell goods today?"

"I was just about to tell you, we are going to the nearby morning market at three or four in the morning, and then we will come to pick you up at seven or eight."

Ye Yaodong said, "What time do you get up, we also get up at what time, to sell goods, right? We also happen to help, and after selling, we will leave directly, saving the trouble of having you come to pick us up."

"Can you get up? Don't force it..."

"How could we not get up? If we go out to sea at night, two or three o'clock is considered very normal."

He was also embarrassed to lie down and wait. He would help if he could on the road, just to repay the favor of hitching a ride.

"That works, then we will call you when we get up."

Ye Yaodong nodded, took his password box off the car, put other luggage on the car, and then let everyone help together, using the rain shed to seal the whole back of the car, so as not to wake up and find everything moved away.

The car stopped in the courtyard of the guesthouse, which was actually okay.

He took his workers and booked a big dormitory. Now no introduction letter is needed, just give money.

Arrangements were made for accommodation, and there was no need to go out to eat. Just heat up the fish balls brought with the stove of the guesthouse.

Ye Yaodong felt that it was quite wise to bring a basket of fish balls when going out.

Besides fish balls, he also had 30 eggs. This was cooked by the old lady at night, and he didn't eat it today, so he contributed it at night.

After bumping for an afternoon, everyone was a little unable to cope. The dirt road now was too torturous, and there were no proper seats. The back was either hitting the car wall or hitting the kelp. After eating, everyone lay down immediately.

When it reached the early morning, they heard the knock on the door and all got up.

The sky outside was still dark. Fortunately, they went to bed early yesterday, so everyone was in high spirits and got on the big car again, setting off for the farmers' market.

The way the person sold goods was comparable to his previous one. It was also to go to places with many people to shout, and sell in bundles of 5 jin and 10 jin.

However, others sold much more expensive than him. He was two mao five and two mao two in the city, and the person directly sold 3 mao 5 and 4 mao, and the cost was only 1 mao 8.

However, just as the car stopped, a small light bulb hung at the door of the car behind, and someone came up to ask what was being sold.

And then naturally, more and more people gathered.

Mainly this kind of bundling sales, which limited the purchase to 5 jin and 10 jin at once, and opened different price points, would make people have a low-price wholesale psychology. One jin was not sold, unless you buy more, you can have this price, which would make people feel that buying is earning.

Sure enough, it's easy to make money these days. As long as you can transport, you are not afraid that things won't be sold. What is missing is just transportation.

It was also fortunate that he brought people to help, and the efficiency was higher, otherwise they would have been drowned by people.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that the flow of people was less, and they had time to communicate.

The person pinched the collar of his clothes and shook it twice to fan, "Oh my mother, it's hot to death, finally there are fewer people, I'll go buy breakfast for you."

"Okay, we'll watch here."

Things were really easy to sell. By seven or eight o'clock, the goods on the car had come a small section, and Ye Yaodong estimated that one or two thousand jin were gone.

And after they finished breakfast, the person drove the car again and changed to a busy market with more people.

A shout, and another pile of women came up.

This wave was sold directly until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and they drove the car again to the next town.

In just one day, Ye Yaodong felt that nearly two tons had been sold.

No wonder 10 tons of goods were pulled away before, and after about 7 days, he came back to pull again. Maybe after the goods on the car were sold out, he got other goods to sell a wave, and then turned back to move from him.

For the next two days, they also encountered a big market, so they simply stayed in one place for two days at the same time, sold for two days, and kept this rhythm from morning to night.

By the morning of the 4th day, the goods on the car were all sold out. When there was not much left in the back, everyone couldn't grab it in time.

Ye Yaodong and others also breathed a sigh of relief. Selling goods these days, they also followed and got busy. When they were busy, they really wished they had two more hands, and now they were finally sold out.

The person was also happily treating everyone to a meal, and then the real rush was the next step.

He took the opportunity of eating to call home, saying that he was still helping to sell goods on the way, but he would not stay in the town next, and would drive all the time, probably without waiting for the 2nd day to arrive.

After all the kelp on the car was sold, the space was all vacated. Everyone was afraid of the bumps, and later they directly took out the bedding and lay down. Really, it was more comfortable, and the shock was reduced.

Ye Yaodong was the same, took out the quilt and lay down, not afraid of being dirty, anyway, just take the sheet apart and wash it after going up.

It doesn't matter if you don't take it apart, why be so particular? When you are away from home, there is a place to sleep, and it's good to be able to lie down.

No need to stop and start next, he estimated that he could arrive at night, after all, he had driven hundreds of kilometers in the first two days.

Actually, it was not yet 12 o'clock, around 10 o'clock at night, Ye Yaodong couldn't sleep, and with the light of the flashlight, he had already seen some familiar streets.

"Arrived in Zhoushi!"

Hearing this sound, everyone who was originally dozing off sat up immediately.

If they didn't think they could arrive at night, they would have slept long ago and wouldn't have persisted.

"Arrived just like that?"

"Arrived so fast!"

"Still fast? It's the 4th day since we came out."

"The first few days were all selling things, not counting. We set off at noon today, and now we arrive, it's already considered fast."

Ye Yaodong shone the flashlight everywhere and said with a smile, "It's good to be able to arrive safely."

"I was scared to death on the road during the day, I actually heard gunshots, and there were robbers."

"Yes, I didn't expect to really encounter someone blocking the road to rob..."

"Brother Dong, this friend of yours is really fierce, directly taking out a gun, and after one shot, the person blocking the road jumped directly into the grass."

"I see they also have guns..."

"Even if they have guns, they dare not move around, after all, we also have..."

"Fortunately, Brother Dong reacted quickly, and we also took out the guns and aimed at people in the back. I see they were still running to chase."

"Really dangerous..."

Ye Yaodong also squeezed a cold sweat in the afternoon. Hearing the gunshot, his heart tightened. His first reaction was to take the gun in his hand first.

I didn't expect those people to have them in their hands, and later saw that there were people in the back of their car, and there were several guns, so they didn't dare to chase.

The risk of going on a long trip is really great, and such a big car is also a proper target.

"No danger, fortunately arrived safely, the person and others probably have seen a lot."

That's why they didn't specifically find a place to stop and talk, and kept driving as usual.

"Brother Dong, is the house you rented last year still there?"

"I don't know, anyway, I have already paid the rent, let the two old people keep it for me, I don't know if they kept it."

He couldn't be sure either, after all, he hadn't been there for a few months, maybe they didn't keep it.

"Anyway, let's see when we arrive."

Just when they were talking excitedly, the car also stopped on the side of the road.

They didn't know what was going on, so they stayed in the car first. It had happened before, that is, they would stop every few hours to let everyone go to the bathroom.

The person walked to the back of the car and asked, "Already arrived in the city, where do you want to be sent? It's quite late now, do you have a place to stay? If not, send you to the guesthouse?"

"Yes, trouble sending me to the alley entrance where I rented the house last year. I paid the rent for a few months in advance when I left."

"You paid the rent in advance? That's a bit hard to handle. You haven't been here for a few months, they must have rented it out long ago, how could they really honestly leave it empty."

"Go over and see first, after all, I have also given money."

"Alright, then I will send you over."

Ye Yaodong wanted to go over and see first, to confirm. If it has really been rented out, then let the two old people refund his rent.

The workers were talking there, each of them was very sure that it had been rented out, and started to scold.

The car started to move again. The streets were empty at night. At this time point, most people should be on the pier, and the goods had not been sold out. There were no people on the street, and the driving speed was faster.

It was only about 10 minutes, and the big car stopped on the side of the road. On the side was the alley entrance where he rented the house before.

Ye Yaodong had already asked people to pack up the bedding in advance. As soon as the car stopped, they jumped down first, and then moved the luggage.

The person and others also came down to help.

Ye Yaodong said, "Thank you very much for this trip, sending us to the destination without danger, I will treat you to a meal tomorrow."

"It's almost the same if I treat you to a meal tomorrow. Thanks to your help on the road, the goods could be sold so fast."

"This is also what should be done."

"Help each other, it's very late, move your luggage in first, see if your room has been rented out."

"We can do it ourselves, it doesn't matter if it's rented out, at most we will carry the luggage to the guesthouse."

"Let's go and see together first, anyway, we are already at the door, it's not that much time, leave the luggage first, go and see first, confirm."

Since the other party sincerely wanted to help, Ye Yaodong didn't refuse, and let him go in together. He, a person who speaks the local dialect, is better to communicate with the two old people.

If there is no place to live in a while, he can also let him send it to the guesthouse.

Ye Yaodong has the key, but he is worried that it has really been rented out, and he opens the door and goes in directly. If he is treated as a thief, it will be quite troublesome to fight.

He went to knock on the door of the small room on the side first, which was where the two old people lived before.

After knocking a few times, someone finally responded inside, and the candle was lit.

When the old man came to open the door, he was still scolding, and he was startled when he saw it was him.

"Ah, you... why are you here..."

Ye Yaodong probably understood his meaning, "Came up to handle things, I renewed the rent until September before, I still have the key in my hand, can I open it directly?"

The old man looked at so many people beside him, and was also a little scared, and hurriedly called his old companion.

The old lady was also scolding and asking who knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and why she was specifically called.

The two old people communicated across the air, and after a while, they stood in front of him, and then directly told him that he was not there, and it had been rented out now.

Ye Yaodong hadn't spoken yet, and the 4 workers next to him had already scolded in their hometown dialect.

"How can you two old things do this? We have already paid the money and you keep the house..."

"Exactly, still want to eat double rent, where are we going to live now?"

"No matter what, we have already paid the money, that house is what we set, we want to live in."

"You either call the people inside out, otherwise we will call the door!"

The two old people looked at them so loudly and so excitedly, and felt that it was not good words, and the old man also scolded with spit flying.

However, they didn't understand much.

However, people are naturally more sensitive to dirty words. They may not understand good words, but even if they don't understand dirty words, they can understand them.

The person stood out and said, "I'll talk to them. They don't understand what you say, and you don't understand what they say."

Ye Yaodong also let everyone not speak first, and let the person help communicate and see. Now in the middle of the night, scolding and making trouble can't solve the problem. After sitting in the car for a day, he is also very tired, and it is a double exhaustion of spirit and body.

The person communicated with them in the local dialect. The old man was still very loud at first, the old lady pulled him a few times, and later he spoke normally.

After communicating for a while, the person said, "They said, the house has been rented out, no way, can't drive people out..."

The worker excitedly said, "First come, first served, we have also given money, why..."

"Listen to me first, they said, they did receive Adong's money, and at that time they saw it was empty and wasted, and didn't know you were up now. I said they were not authentic, and let them arrange it. It's so late now, can't sleep on the street."

"They are local people anyway, and they are familiar with the surrounding area. They know where there are empty houses recently. I let them take you to the empty houses now."

"Of course, the rent must be paid by them. After all, you have given them rent. Now they have rented out the house you rented, so they must solve the problem of your living."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Hmm, yes, since they rented out the house I rented, they must solve the problem of my living."

"They said yes, but said that this year's rent has risen, and what you paid before is not enough. They also saw the rent rise and were reluctant to leave it empty. Now it's mid-May, and there are still three and a half months from the time you rented before. They said you have to make up the difference in rent for these three and a half months."

"Why, we have rented until September..."

"Exactly, why do we have to add money, it is clearly them who breached the contract..."

Ye Yaodong stopped the worker from continuing, nodded, "Okay, then I will make up the difference in rent for three and a half months."

Just treat it as an introduction fee.

It's so late, it's easy to arrange it directly, saving the trouble of having to pull skin tomorrow. Even if they can refund the rent, they can probably only refund three and a half months, and he will have to find a house with great effort at that time.

Troubles that can be solved with money are not troubles, and it's only a matter of a few yuan.

It's better to spend some money to arrange it properly and rest early than to pull skin here in the middle of the night. He still has things to do tomorrow. Delaying for a day or two might delay more of his things.

If he can't go back in time, it will be even more troublesome.

It's just making up the difference in rent.

The person agreed, "I think so too. People are not here, and there is no way to talk about how the past few months were. If you want them to refund money, you can only count from today until the time you rented."

"The rent in this place is indeed rising year by year. If it is a short-term lease, it is also rising month by month."

Ye Yaodong said, "Hmm, then let's decide like this. You tell them, lead us to the empty house now, let them go to communicate with the new landlord, and we will wait to move in."

"Okay."

The person turned around and communicated with the two old people.

The two old people also nodded repeatedly, and then put on their coats, took the candles and came out.

When they saw that they were all shining with flashlights, they extinguished the candles again.

It is normal for old people to save money, light candles, and be reluctant to light lights.

They followed behind, and it was only an alley away. They watched the two old people knock on the door, shouted a few words, reported their identity, and someone came to open the door.

Ye Yaodong listened to them babbling, and the person also talked to them.

After talking, he signaled him to pay the difference.

"It's already been talked about, you just need to pay the difference to the landlord, and the remaining three and a half months of rent, the two old people will pay the landlord tomorrow, they have already talked about it."

"Okay, thank you brother, fortunately you followed in, otherwise we would be talking to each other, maybe we would have to quarrel until dawn and still not be able to solve it."

"It doesn't matter, it's a matter of convenience, the matter is solved, if there is anything else, tell me tomorrow, you know where I live."

"Know, wait until I settle down, I will call you to eat tomorrow."

"You are polite, go in and see first, let the workers carry the luggage over."

Ye Yaodong nodded, and then signaled the workers to carry the luggage first.

The two old people also left first.

The person waited until their luggage was moved in before leaving.

The new landlord took the rent and gave him the key, and then returned to his room, without caring about their settlement.

Ye Yaodong still had the key to the room on the other side in his hand. He didn't give it just now. It was agreed that the two old people would settle the remaining rent here tomorrow, and he would return the key to them.

This also gave him a reminder to change the lock on the room here early tomorrow morning, so as not to have the previous tenant still holding the key.

"Sitting in the car for a day, tired to death, fortunately I can settle down immediately."

"Those two old things are too shameless, bullying us from out of town. If it weren't for Brother Person speaking the local dialect just now, I guess they wouldn't admit it."

"Exactly, they looked quite good last year, now that people are not here, they turn their faces and don't recognize people."
