Liu Cheng said that the carpenter had done it, and his classmate's father agreed. It only cost five yuan to cover his return trip. He could find someone to help him, and he should be able to dismantle it in two days.

But he had to go take a look first, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it by then.

Li Manjun agreed and asked Liu Cheng to take him to Xiashui Village to have a look first and confirm the transaction date with Uncle Hu again.

But unexpectedly, when Liu Cheng took people to Xiashui Village, an accident happened. Uncle Hu, who had originally had a good conversation, hesitated and wanted to return the fifty yuan deposit.

Liu Cheng immediately felt that something was wrong and asked, "Is the bed still there?"

Uncle Hu didn't answer at first, but when Liu Cheng became more anxious, he said that the bed was still there, but he wouldn't sell it to them.

"As promised before, how could you change your mind?" Knowing that the bed was still there, Liu Cheng was not as impulsive as he was at first, and asked the reason in a good voice.

The carpenter also said: "Brother, you have to change your mind after making a good deal. That's not very kind of you. No matter what, you have to give people a reason."

Uncle Hu sighed and said, "Someone has bid higher than you."

As for the other things, he refused to say anything. Liu Cheng was very angry, but he didn't dare to stalemate the relationship all at once, for fear that there would be no room for change.

I had no choice but to give the carpenter a dollar for the fare and let him go home first. Today's trip was in vain.

After sending the carpenter away, Liu Cheng inquired in Xiashui Village for a long time, then hurried back to the town to tell Li Manjun the news.

"Sister Manjun, that old man Hu is so unreliable. He always changes his mind when he says it. Who is he?"

Liu Cheng was very angry and anxious. It was a big business worth five thousand yuan, and he was not willing to let it go so badly.

When Li Manjun heard the news, his heart shrank suddenly. He was really afraid of what might happen.

Just the last minute, the carpenter was found, the money was collected, and she also thought about contacting Zhao Yong to help the truck, but the owner actually regretted it.

"Where's the deposit?" Li Manjun asked.

Liu Cheng didn't get the money back. He said he couldn't make the decision and had to wait for Li Manjun to tell him in person, so Uncle Hu couldn't get it back.

Hearing what Liu Cheng said, Li Manjun glanced at him appreciatively, "You did a good job on this matter. The deposit has been paid, and it was agreed verbally at the beginning. It's on our side."

Liu Cheng scratched his head, but now he was not happy about being praised.

"The point is, can we still buy that bed?" Liu Yan was very worried. She didn't know whether the money in Li Manjun's hand was a full thousand and seventeen, or whether it was extra.

Li Manjun told her not to worry and asked Liu Cheng to tell him what he had learned.

"I asked people in the village and they said that two outsiders visited the Hu family's old house yesterday. When I turned around, I heard the Hu family's wife telling people that their old bed was sold for two thousand yuan." Liu Cheng followed suit. The appearance of a villager comes alive with a wave of his hand.

Li Manjun felt that the matter was difficult. This issue could not be solved by increasing the price. If they could increase the price, the other party could also increase the price.

This is obviously someone who knows the goods. Maybe the other party is not short of money at all, and they are not afraid of them raising prices.

"Liu Cheng, come with me to Hu's house tomorrow. Yanzi, stay in the town and don't go to the village. We can't collect much scrap now." Li Manjun arranged.

The two siblings nodded without objection.

Liu Cheng also asked: "Should we call two more people in case we meet that group of outsiders?"

Li Manjun was once again pleasantly surprised by Liu Cheng. Unexpectedly, he was quite thoughtful.

"Then call that classmate of yours." Li Manjun asked that person's name.

Liu Cheng replied: "His surname is Hao, and his name is Hao Jian."

After returning home at night, Liu Lili immediately called the village chief Hao Jian's home and asked the village chief to ask Hao Jian to come over and answer the phone.

There are a total of two telephones in the village, one for the village committee and the other for the village chief's house. If villagers want to use it, they go to the village chief's house to make a call.

Liu Chengshou waited by the phone for about five minutes, and the call from the opposite side finally came.

"Hey, Hao Jian, you and your buddies will go out to do some errands tomorrow. Oh, your dad told you, yes, that's right, we're going to Xiashui Village. Do you have any buddies you know? I'll call two more people."

After the other party agreed, Liu Cheng called Li Manjun's house to inform her that she had all the people available, and agreed to leave early tomorrow morning before resting.

Li Dawei, who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper, had a vague feeling that something had happened to his daughter, but the other party didn't say anything, and he didn't ask. As his children grew up and were not as dependent on their parents as they were when they were young, he was always a little embarrassed to speak.

The next day, Li Manjun got up early, and when he arrived at the department store, the door was only halfway open.

She bought some candies and biscuits. Isn't it strange that there were so many people there? She wouldn't just give up on the Qiangong Babu bed.

I took a ride with Liu Cheng outside Xiashui Village. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Hao Jian arrived with his two cousins.

Sure enough, as Liu Cheng said, Hao Jian seemed to be honest and didn't talk much. After introducing his two cousins, he followed Li Manjun to Hu's house without saying anything along the way.

He is of average height, but has a strong body. People who work at home and farm all year round have a lot of strength.

The other two cousins ​​are tall and quite intimidating at first glance.

The five people entered the village and walked towards Hu's house. Halfway there, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the village.

At the head were two young men, carrying a woman with a big belly and running wildly.

"You guys get out of the way!"

Li Manjun and others hurriedly retreated to the side of the road. Several people ran past them. After three to five seconds, several people with armbands on their arms and doctors in white coats chased after them.

While chasing, he shouted: "Pay attention to the situation of pregnant women. Don't run away. If you run away again, someone will die!"

Cousin Hao Jian clicked his tongue, "We're arresting Chaosheng again. The people in the village here are stronger than ours, and they run very fast."

Li Manjun looked at the villagers who were chasing after them, but did not see the Hu family.

"Let's go." Li Manjun motioned to the others to stop watching the fun and get things done first.

Liu Cheng pulled Hao Jian, and Hao Jian called his two cousins ​​away. The five of them avoided the villagers and walked around the field ridge when they suddenly heard an old cry for help.

"Help, help. Is there anyone?" The voice was weak, occasionally mixed with a few ouch sounds of pain.

Liu Cheng rushed to the ditch in two steps and saw an old man wearing a thin navy blue hat lying helplessly in the ditch, with tears in his muddy old eyes and shouting for help.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Liu Cheng asked, waving to Li Manjun and others as he jumped down the stream.

The old man seemed to have been knocked down from the field ridge and just got stuck in a narrow ravine, unable to get up.

Li Manjun came to the ditch to take a look and hurriedly asked the three brothers Hao Jian to pull the person out.

When the old man saw someone, he finally felt relieved and said with tears in his eyes:

"These little brats can run so fast without even looking at the roadside. I'm old and slow, and I can't stand steady. I don't know what bastard thing knocked me down!"
