1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Erlaizi was secretly calculating in his heart that ten kilograms of corn flour was not a small amount. If they could get it successfully, they would be able to make a considerable profit by reselling it.

He was ecstatic in his heart, but his face remained calm. He said, "How do you want to change it?"

There was a hint of temptation in his eyes, trying to find out Li Weiguo's bottom line.

Li Weiguo thought for a moment and said slowly: "I am not greedy. As long as the price is reasonable, I will buy it."

His voice was calm and steady, giving the impression that he was an experienced person.

His eyes never left Erlaizi's eyes, as if he was engaged in a silent contest with him.

The two looked at each other, and they both felt a complex emotion in each other's eyes, including a desire for benefits, as well as temptation and suspicion of each other.

After a while, Erlaizi was the first to break the silence. He raised his head slightly and said, "Okay, let's find a place to talk it over."

The two found a relatively quiet corner in the black market, and the noise around them seemed to be weakened a lot because of the remoteness of this corner.

They squatted down and began to discuss the details of the transaction face to face.

Li Weiguo did not hide anything and directly took out the corn noodles he wanted to trade.

Anyone else would definitely not dare to take out food so blatantly, but Li Weiguo was not afraid at all, because he knew his own strength, and ten people in front of him were no match for him.

He gently patted the bag of cornmeal beside him and said, "Brother, I am honest and never cheat. You can take a look at the goods first. If you are not satisfied, this deal will be cancelled."

There was a hint of sincerity in his eyes that made people believe what he said.

Erlaizi hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and grabbed a handful of corn flour.

He placed the corn flour in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, and gently twisted it with his fingers, feeling the texture of the corn flour.

Then he leaned in and smelled it again. The faint aroma of grain instantly penetrated his nostrils, bringing a satisfied smile to his face.

After a moment, he looked up at Li Weiguo and said, "Okay, this guy is okay. Do you want money or things?"

There was a hint of expectation in his voice, as if he was waiting for Li Weiguo's answer.

Li Weiguo said without thinking: "They all cost money!"

But the two still had a fierce bargaining.

Finally, after a tough negotiation, the two sides agreed on a price.

Li Weiguo handed ten kilograms of corn flour to Erlaizi, who handed him a stack of change.

Li Weiguo took the item, checked it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

After the transaction was completed, Erlaizi stood up, patted Li Weiguo on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, you are quite straightforward. If you have any good stuff in the future, remember to come to me."

There was a hint of sincere admiration in his voice, as if he had already regarded Li Weiguo as a reliable partner.

Li Weiguo smiled and responded: "Of course, of course."

To be in the black market, one not only needs good goods, but also good connections. Wu Dong has told them to keep an eye out for good connections for long-term cooperation.

Therefore, Wu Dong and his group attach great importance to building up personal connections.

After coming out of the black market, Li Weiguo hurried to the Li family courtyard.

The night was dark, and the moon was mostly covered by dark clouds, with only a few faint rays of light shining through, barely illuminating the road under our feet.

It was very quiet all around, with only the sound of his footsteps, each step seemed to knock on the silent night sky.

Soon, the gate of the Li family courtyard appeared before their eyes.

Li Weiguo stopped, pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movements around him, and glanced around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no one around, he quietly took out a piece of pork belly and more than 50 kilograms of miscellaneous grains from the system space.

He walked up and knocked on the gate. The crisp knock was particularly clear in the night.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard in the yard.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li were so worried about Li Weiguo going to the black market that they couldn't sleep at all and were just waiting to open the door for him.

"Weiguo, how is it? Is everything going well?" Grandpa Li and Grandma Li asked anxiously as the door opened.

Their eyes were full of worry. They looked at Li Weiguo carefully and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he was fine.

Li Weiguo said softly, "Grandma and grandpa, don't worry, everything is going well. It's getting late, you should go to bed."

Grandma Li quickly responded, "Okay, okay, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow."

Li Weiguo said goodbye to the two old men and went back to the courtyard to rest.

Instead of knocking on the door, he jumped over the wall, which was a simple task for him.

At this moment, the yard was very quiet. Li Weiguo didn't want to disturb the people in the yard, so he tiptoed back to his room to sleep.

From that second day on, the life of the Li family seemed to be back on track. Things gradually got better, and the sense of stability and prosperity of the past quietly returned.

Everyone in the Li family knows how to be careful with their words and actions, and they never spread any family matters, big or small, to outsiders.

Every meal at home, no matter how rich or poor, would never become a topic of conversation among them outside the yard.

Even the young and innocent Li Weihong learned to keep her mouth shut early on due to the influence of the family atmosphere.

Although she is the youngest, she never says a word about family matters.

Time flies, and two days pass in a flash.

Li Weiguo once again set out on the road to the black market. His steps were firm and steady. Having a purpose in mind, he carried out things without hesitation.

This time, he and Erlaizi, who was beside Wu Dong, successfully completed the transaction again, and the negotiations between them became more and more in line with each other.

Erlaizi became more and more concerned about Li Weiguo, but he still had a last bit of defense and did not reveal his true thoughts in front of Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo was not in a hurry either. After all, he understood that in many cases, haste makes waste.

When Li Weiguo went looking for Erlaizi for the third time, things took a new turn.

Erlaizi no longer just conducted simple transactions with him as usual, but took him towards where Wu Dong was.

It turned out that Wu Dong heard Erlaizi mention that there was a person who had been cooperating with him very well recently, and that this person's words, deeds, manners, temperament and demeanor were extraordinary and had great potential, making him the best choice for long-term cooperation.

Wu Dong has always been cautious in his actions. To be safe, he began to think about meeting this person in person.

When Erlaizi led Li Weiguo to appear in front of him, Wu Dong's eyes flashed with a hint of subtle surprise and curiosity.

Li Weiguo had a tall and straight posture, steady and powerful steps, a look of calmness and confidence between his brows, and bright and deep eyes that attracted people deeply at first sight.

After only a brief eye contact, Wu Dong was secretly amazed by the clear and logical conversation, the dignified manner, and the unique aura that emanated from his body. He couldn't help but have a strong premonition in his heart: This person is definitely not an ordinary person, and he will definitely achieve something in the future.
