Make A Billion In The 80s - Chatper 162

This child was an abandoned baby picked up by the old couple. It was in the middle of winter, and a delicate blue-flowered baby was lying on the side of the road. They couldn’t bear to see such a young child left alone, and the social welfare institutions were not perfect. Ask After a long time, they couldn’t find a good place for the abandoned baby. As a last resort, I adopted it.

Qiu Mingquan has been well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, and he never caused people to worry, but recently… the two old people thought of his extremely weird words and deeds recently, and suddenly wanted to go wrong.

——Is this child starting to turn bad? !

Leaving early and returning late, stealing money for private use, and having strange scars on his body, could it be that he did some bad deeds with bad guys!

Grandpa Qiu was in a trance for a while, and suddenly remembered what he saw a few days ago. Qiu Mingquan, who was shy and timid since he was a child, faced Wang Daquan with that desperate, brave and fierce look in his eyes.

And the past, not a person at all!

“You…you tell me clearly!” Grandpa Qiu stood up abruptly, panting heavily.

He has always been seldom talkative and has no culture. He is usually silent and dull, but when he loses his temper, he is very scary.

“What should I do?” Qiu Mingquan asked anxiously in his heart, and asked Feng Rui for help.

“Just tell the truth, say that you heard the news on a whim, and you made money selling gold pens.” No matter how capable Feng Rui is, it’s okay at this time, “Don’t be so stupid as to tell me, otherwise they might find Taoist priests or The monk came to suppress me.”

The two old people only saw his anxious face and sweat dripping from his forehead. Grandma Qiu felt a pain in her heart, and muddy tears flowed down her cheeks.

“Xiaoquan…” She choked up and said, “I know our family is suffering. But you must not go astray if you are poor.”

Qiu Mingquan shook his head anxiously: “No! Grandma, I didn’t do anything bad! Believe me…”

“Then tell us, why did you steal the money?” Grandma Qiu looked at him anxiously.

Not to mention that it’s impossible to hide it, Qiu Mingquan bit the bullet and said: “Grandpa, grandma, I… I recently learned from others and started a little business.”

He took a deep breath and tried his best to look mature: “I bought the pens in the mall, the ones with gold nibs, and sold them at a higher price. These days, I made a lot of money.”

“Xiaoquan, you…” Grandma Qiu cried in despair. It’s fine to steal money, but you still tell such a big lie? !

Qiu Mingquan panicked, pulled down his schoolbag, and dumped all the money in it on the bed.

“Grandpa and grandma, look, the money is back, and I have earned so much!”

A large pile of old and new ten-yuan and five-yuan banknotes covered the bed, and there was also the crisp sound of steel coins colliding with each other. Under the dim light, the eyes of the two old people were straightened.

so much money! !

Qiu Mingquan forgot one thing, the myth of compound interest growth, ordinary people can’t figure it out, ordinary people can’t accept the fact that more than 80 yuan can be transformed into such a huge sum of money within ten days!

Grandpa Qiu opened his mouth, and suddenly became frightened: Is there any way to make a child earn so much money in a short period of time!

Grandma Qiu stared at him suspiciously, and suddenly saw a section of red rope protruding from his neck.

With a simple pull, the jade pendant was exposed, and a piece of dense precious light scattered under the dim light, warm and delicate, like frozen cream.

The two old men rubbed their eyes at the same time. Even if they don’t have any appreciation ability at all, they can tell that this is by no means a cheap thing.

“This… what is this?”

“I, I picked it up.” Qiu Mingquan blurted out, lying hastily, “I picked it up in a tree hole.”

At this urgent enough moment, President Feng was still whimpering: “Look, she doesn’t feel it when she touches me. Only when you touch me can I feel it.”

Grandpa Qiu looked around, suddenly picked up the small bench next to the bed, and hit Qiu Mingquan: “I told you to lie! I told you to be a bad boy!…”

This inexplicable precious jade, this huge sum of money that suddenly appeared, and that concealed and twinkling eyes!

The small bench hit his back, Qiu Mingquan’s small body staggered, and his back felt dull pain.

Qiu Mingquan was immediately stunned.

He has been very filial and obedient since he was a child, and he was rarely mischievous. Even in his previous life, he did not remember any time when he was beaten. On his buttocks, the pain made him tremble again.

“Grandpa, I, I…”

“Oh, your family still engages in domestic violence. The poorer you become, the more barbaric you become—” Feng Rui was taken aback, “Hey, hide, aren’t you stupid!”

Qiu Mingquan was about to dodge, but when he saw Grandpa’s trembling appearance, he was suddenly startled!

In the previous life, my grandfather was in poor health, and the poor family didn’t have any knowledge of annual physical examinations. He suddenly had a stroke and died after being paralyzed in bed for several years. In this life, don’t advance the cause of the stroke because of something!

Thinking about it this way, he didn’t dare to move at all, he was anxious and scared, tears filled his eyes quietly.

Seeing Qiu Mingquan being beaten stupidly, Grandma Qiu was so anxious that she burst into tears, and ran up tremblingly to stop him: “Okay, old man, stop beating, and ask carefully if you have something to say, Xiaoquan is not an ignorant child.”

Also said he is sensible? Looking at Qiu Mingquan’s reticence, Grandpa Qiu was so angry that his hands trembled: “If he doesn’t explain clearly today, I’ll just kill him!”

“Heretics! Even the parents who gave birth to you can’t beat and kill them every now and then, children are not private property.” Feng Rui complained angrily, “What’s more, you were adopted.”

“You hand over this unknown thing to the police station.” With tears in her eyes, she reached for the jade pendant on Qiu Mingquan’s neck, “Even if it was picked up, the person who lost it must be very anxious, so let’s return it.”

Qiu Mingquan was taken aback suddenly and was stunned.

“Hold on! Don’t listen to her!” Feng Rui was furious, his usual elegance was gone.

Hell, if he was really stalked by this old woman and handed over to a stranger, it would make the sky and the earth miserable, wouldn’t it kill him?

“No, no… This, this won’t work.” Qiu Mingquan tightly held his heart.

Grandpa Qiu was so angry that he suddenly snatched the jade pendant from his neck, raised his hand suddenly, and threw the whole thing out of the window!

Qiu Mingquan was completely blindfolded, watching the darkness outside, his heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and he yelled suddenly: “What are you doing?!”

With this roar, the room fell silent. The bench raised by Grandpa Qiu stopped in mid-air and did not come down for a long time, and Grandma Qiu didn’t make a sound.

“Grandpa, grandma, I…” Seeing the suddenly slumped expressions of the two old people, Qiu Mingquan vaguely knew that something had happened.

Grandpa Qiu stared at him blankly, his old face slowly changed from violent anger to dull sadness.

When he picked up this emaciated abandoned baby on the side of the road more than ten years ago, he has regarded this little life as his lifeblood for so many years.

Thinking of the child’s loving and well-behaved appearance in the past, and his roaring expression just now, Grandpa Qiu felt as if he had been torn apart by something.

He waved his hands desperately and sadly: “Okay, okay…we don’t care about you.”

He turned around with difficulty, got on the bed with one leg, and swept all the money on the bed to the ground. Then, with his hunched body on his back, he stopped saying a word.

Qiu Mingquan was scared out of his wits, eagerness, remorse, and worry all came to his mind: “Grandpa! I was wrong…Grandpa, don’t get mad!”

If he lives a new life, even if he has no ability to change his destiny and make his family live a worry-free life, he can’t piss grandpa to death in advance, right? !

He was at a loss, and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, scratching the wound and bleeding.

Staring blankly at the blood on his hand, an inexplicable anxiety and helplessness surged into his heart, chilling his bones.

Yes, this was not earned by his ability at all, and the two old men saw him right.

With trembling hands, he knelt on the head of the bed and picked up a few banknotes.

“Grandpa, don’t be angry, I’ll tear it up… tear it up, okay?”

Grandma Qiu hurried over and grabbed him. The oppressive atmosphere in the small and dilapidated rented room was almost suffocating.

Qiu Mingquan just felt that his mind was blank. These days, he was used to Feng Rui’s nagging and reprimand, as well as his sarcasm and pointers. Now his voice suddenly disappeared, but his heart gradually calmed down.

If that person is here, he must not like to see himself in such a daze and useless state, right?

No, he has to be strong.

Qiu Mingquan, who was kneeling on the ground, was silent for a long time, and then finally spoke with a hoarse voice.

“Grandpa and grandma. Everything I said is true.” He said softly, “I really earned the money by selling pens. Because the money is too much and it comes quickly, I am also very scared, no Dare to tell you.”

Neither of the old men made a sound.

“It was my mistake, and I will never hide it from you again next time.”

He gently grabbed a bunch of money on the ground, put it in grandma’s hand, and looked straight into the old man’s blank eyes: “But every penny here is earned cleanly. No crime of rape.”

Li Damao covered his sleeves, shivering and said: “It’s so cold, and the wind is so strong, it won’t burn if it’s less!”

Wang Daquan had a cold face and frowned: “The people who burned the dead made a big fuss and attracted attention, but it was a waste of time.”

Li Ermao nodded repeatedly and said: “If you really risk your life, you will have to be shot.”

Wang Daquan’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he looked around, but he went to the eaves of a house and poured more gasoline.

That was exactly the Qiu Mingquan’s house that he found out on purpose.

Squinting his eyes, Wang Daquan took out a lighter, lit it on the leeward side, and threw it into a winding gasoline line under his feet.

The flames ignited and burned into a thread of fire in an instant. Wang Daquan watched coldly, clutching the back of his burned hand, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.

Forget about the others, that wolf-like brat, let their house be burned tonight, it’s best to burn him to death! For a moment, evil thoughts rose sharply in his heart.

Just as several people were proudly watching the flames getting bigger and bigger, suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly passed behind them at the same time.

Wang Daquan turned around in astonishment, and saw two figures in the night, one big and one small, holding a thick stick in their hands, and they were about to hit their heads with a heavy blow. The two brothers Li Damao fell to the ground with an “ouch” at the same time!

Oops, ambushed!

A voice shouted violently: “Bastard, go to hell! I told you to set fire to people!”

The crisp boy’s voice exploded in the quiet night at the same time: “Everyone, get up, someone set the fire, come and put out the fire!…”

The courtyard suddenly exploded, lights were turned on in countless rooms, and the owner of the house who was close had already seen the fire, and rushed out in his clothes: “Fire and fire! Get water!”

Brothers Li Damao and Li Ermao were beaten to the ground and screamed. Wang Daquan’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing that the formation was wrong, he was terrified and ran away.

Liu Dongfeng and Qiu Mingquan put the two of them down, turned around and chased after Wang Daquan who was fleeing. It was getting dark and impatient, Wang Daquan tripped over something unexpectedly, and suddenly fell like a dog gnawing shit.

The fire just started over there, and was quickly extinguished by everyone who heard the sound. Now seeing the murderer, the neighbors hated each other very much, and they were so courageous that they shouted together: “Kill them! He is going to kill him!” Our lives!”

Wang Daquan turned over and sat up in embarrassment. Seeing that several young and middle-aged men had already rushed forward, he was overwhelmed, and suddenly raised the remaining half barrel of gasoline in his hand, and threw it in the face towards the chasing crowd!

“Hula la”, a smoky smell, the people who chased them were caught off guard and were doused in gasoline.

Wang Daquan roared hoarsely: “Don’t come over, I will burn anyone who comes over!”

With a sound of “噗”, he grinned grinningly, and suddenly lit the lighter in his hand, and in the dark night, a cluster of faint flames ignited.

Qiu Mingquan chased at the front, stopped suddenly, and stretched out his hand to block behind him: “Everyone, don’t move!”

Liu Dongfeng roared coldly: “Hurry up and put down the lighter! Surrender honestly!”

“Let me go, or you will be burned to death!” Wang Daquan yelled frantically.

Qiu Mingquan walked forward step by step. He was small and thin, and looked harmless, but in Wang Daquan’s eyes, his calm face under the firelight produced a chill out of thin air.

It’s him again! This wolf cub of the Qiu family, a lifeless little devil!

“Don’t come here!” He waved the lighter in horror, the mouth of the gasoline barrel he just threw away was tilted, and the remaining gasoline poured out silently, flowing into a stream under his feet. He was extremely nervous, but Unaware.

“Xiaoquan, don’t go there, it’s dangerous!” Liu Dongfeng yelled anxiously, ignoring the gasoline on his body, and was about to rush forward, but Qiu Mingquan turned around and stopped him sharply.

“Don’t come here, I don’t have gasoline on me, so I’m not afraid of him.” He whispered, his eyes were serious, and Liu Dongfeng was shocked in place.

Qiu Mingquan walked five or six steps in front of Wang Daquan, looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly: “You want to burn my house.”

It’s not a question, it’s a statement.

Wang Daquan suppressed the panic in his heart, and grinned grimly: “So what? You are lucky if you didn’t burn the three of you to death!”

Qiu Mingquan’s body had just changed, and President Feng sighed softly: “I’ll give you one last chance to catch you without a fight. If not—”

He half raised his head, his gaze seemed to be looking at a dead person: “You have no choice but to die.”

The faint fire light behind him reflected his indifferent eyes, the vicissitudes in his eyes were as deep as a deep pool, Wang Daquan suddenly shuddered, his mind buzzed, and he threw the lighter in his hand at Qiu Mingquan!

Burn him, he’s a ghost! …I don’t know why, Wang Daquan thought in horror.

The child on the opposite side dodged lightly amidst the screams of panic.

The lighter whirled and landed near him.

The fire suddenly ignited, and it even rushed towards Wang Daquan along the winding oil line on the ground!

——The leaked gasoline line ignited when it encountered an open flame, and instantly wrapped Wang Daquan. In the terrified eyes of everyone, he instantly became a ball of fire, and his miserable cries resounded through the night sky in this winter night. …

“I really didn’t expect it… I really didn’t expect it.” In a certain real estate company, Mr. Zhou lowered his voice into the phone in the closed office, “I was discovered by the poor ghosts in that shanty town when I set the fire. , not only put out the fire, but all those who set it on fire were arrested.”

On the other end of the phone, the voice was gentle and elegant, without any disturbance: “I heard that the one who took the lead was burned into a blackened gourd?”

Mr. Zhou, who reported the report, came down: “Yes, Wang Daquan was seriously injured. I’m afraid that if he gets involved with me…”

“Don’t worry, that person shouldn’t be able to survive after being burnt like that.” The person on the phone said calmly, as if he didn’t mind.

“That’s good, that’s good!” Mr. Zhou felt relieved, “Don’t worry, the other two don’t even know about our existence.”

After a long while on the phone, he said calmly: “Us?…”

Mr. Zhou was shocked in his heart. In the cold winter months, his forehead was almost sweating, and he hurriedly said: “No! Don’t worry! No matter what, this matter will not expand any further!”

The person on the other side of the phone seemed to ponder for a while before speaking again: “I’m preparing a newly registered real estate company for you. Next, don’t use those shady methods anymore, just come forward in your name and buy it directly. .”

After thinking about it, it seemed that he was afraid that he would not understand, so he warned again: “Speak skillfully, deter and suppress, don’t let go of the subject, don’t I need to teach you sentence by sentence?”

“Of course.” Mr. Zhou said flatteringly, “Don’t worry, it will be done this time!”

…In a spacious office somewhere, a middle-aged man slowly put down the phone with no expression on his face.

He tapped his fingers on the table slowly a few times before he picked up the thermos cup and took a sip slowly. The tea is excellent, even in winter, it has a very dense fragrance of high-quality tea.

Then, he picked up the phone again and dialed a number.

“Director Fei, I heard that how many criminals were arrested in your place yesterday? Those who were burned?” A cold light flashed behind his gold-rimmed glasses, and he said meaningfully, “This kind of scum is really disgusting. In fact, he is still alive. It is the irresponsibility of society, especially the kind that takes the lead, right?”

…

The chaos of last night has passed, and when I woke up in the morning, the whole compound was full of jubilation

Among the several arsonists who were turned over to the police station overnight, one was the notorious Wang Daquan, who suffered serious burns——this vicious bully took the lead. Now that he has all gone in, what are you afraid of?

“Koizumi, is your house okay? Do you want us to give you a hand and help you renovate it?” Enthusiastic neighbors yelled in the yard early in the morning.

“It’s okay, no need.” Qiu Mingquan smiled, the fire was extinguished last night in time, the back window of his house was only slightly blackened, it was nothing serious.

The neighbors who were talking just stopped, when Aunt Wang suddenly ran over and handed over a few big meat buns coyly: “Xiaoquan, this is steamed by my aunt yesterday, at your age, you need some meat!”

Liu Qinhua laughed out loud with a “puchi” and said, “Oh, the sun is coming out from the west.”

Qiu Mingquan took the big meat buns with good-natured laughter, handed one to each of his grandparents, and said “thank you” shyly.

Liu Dongfeng went to the police station overnight last night, and has not come back until now. The big victory against the hooligans last night dispelled the haze in everyone’s hearts, and the whole compound was full of joy.

Grandpa and grandma went out after dinner with big bags of trash on their backs. Only then did Qiu Mingquan get into the hut according to the plan he had made long ago.

The passbook for opening an account in grandpa’s name is in the quilt under the bed. Immediately afterwards, he opened the shoe box and found the cash change inside.

The fixed deposit is only 60 yuan, and the cash is more than 20 yuan. The total deposit is 80 yuan. This is the entire property of this poor family.

In this era when the average monthly salary of employees in state-owned enterprises is one or two hundred yuan, most families are struggling, and it is common to borrow a few yuan for emergency at the end of the month. Two old scavengers collected rubbish every day and then sold them. Their income was only enough to feed their family of three, and there was no way to save any extra money.

Ever since he learned of all the savings of this family, President Feng has been extremely depressed, and swears in extreme pain: “The accumulation of primitive capital for the poor is really fucking difficult!”

Holding the passbook and those crumpled banknotes, Qiu Mingquan suddenly panicked.

“Can it really make money?” After all, he has no business experience. “What if I lose money? Will no one buy it?”
