Chapter 241 Accident
Chen Weidong did not beat around the bush and spoke directly. Chen Weidong had dealt with Brother Ping in his previous life, so he was not too worried that the other party would cheat him. Of course, money can make people tempted, so he had to be careful about some things.

“I was wondering why you are so enthusiastic, brother. So you are from Northeast China. I wouldn’t have known you were from Northeast China if you hadn’t spoken the local dialect.”

Brother Ping smiled and said hello, then said to the people around him:
“Okay, I have something to discuss with this brother, you guys go back first!”

“Ok.”

After the young men left, Brother Ping invited Chen Weidong into the house and politely poured him a cup of tea.

“Brother, you have come all the way from the Northeast. Since you know me, you must have something good to tell me!” Brother Ping asked with a smile.

“Well, give me a red fox skin! I want to know how much I can get!”

“Red fox fur?”

Brother Ping’s eyes lit up. Red fox fur is a good thing. Not only is it expensive, but it is also easy to sell.

“What quality is it? Have you brought it here? If it’s good quality, the price won’t be a problem.”

Brother Ping asked.

“I brought it! Take a look.”

Chen Weidong took out the bag wrapped in red fox fur from his arms and handed it over.

Brother Ping took the bag and opened it without stopping.

“What a good product!”

Brother Ping looked at the reddish-brown fox skin in his hand, and his eyes lit up. The reddish-brown skin was like a flame. This skin was really beautiful.

You should know that red fox fur, although it is called red fox, but more than 90% of red foxes have mixed colors in their fur, so this kind of fur is not that valuable.

Outside the Great Wall, a ticket costs only one or two hundred yuan, and inside the Great Wall, the price is only a little more than a hundred yuan.

But the red fox with brown-red skin in his hand is different. If the quality is good and he meets a customer who likes it, it is not a problem to sell it at a price several hundred yuan more than the ones outside the Great Wall.

Moreover, the red-brown fox in front of me had intact fur without any damage. No wonder it was able to run all the way here from the northeast.

“This hide is worth fifteen hundred dollars. If you sell it, I’ll pay you right away.”

Brother Ping said.

“Three thousand!”

Chen Weidong said:

“Brother Ping, the skin of this red fox of mine is of excellent quality!”

“It’s good, but three thousand is too high. Your fur is not pure red fox fur.”

Brother Ping waved his hand.

“The price of pure red fox fur is not this high!” Chen Weidong said bluntly.

“Two thousand!”

“Two thousand, why did I come all the way here?”

After Chen Weidong bargained, the red fox skin was finally sold for 2,300 yuan. Brother Ping gave Chen Weidong the money without hesitation.

Chen Weidong knew that Brother Ping had been a millionaire for 10,000 yuan as early as 1983. This amount of money might be a huge sum for others, but it was not too much for Brother Ping.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

“Brother, next time you find something good, bring it over and buy it from me! I promise you’ll be satisfied with the price!”

“Easy to say, easy to say!”

Chen Weidong said something polite, put the money in his pocket, and immediately left the place and returned to the guesthouse.

This is an unfamiliar place, so it’s better to be careful.

Chen Weidong stayed in the guesthouse for one night and took a train to Jiangning early the next morning.

In the 1980s, Jiangning was full of alleys. It was not as prosperous as Hucheng. Looking around, blue bricks and gray tiles, and pedestrians on bicycles occupied a large part of the city.

Lively and vibrant.

There are small garden houses everywhere.

These Western-style buildings are also the characteristics of the older generation of Jiangning. After getting off the train and walking out of the train station, looking around, there are many “little turtles” on three wheels, moving slowly.

In this era, most cities are dominated by tricycles, while taxis are still a minority.

“Comrade, do you want to take a bus? My price is very cheap!”

As soon as Chen Weidong walked out of the station, he saw a middle-aged man opening the car door and leaning towards Chen Weidong to solicit business.

“Where to go?”

The middle-aged man spoke with Jiangning’s unique accent.

Chen Weidong said: “Let’s go to Yingda Road!”

Before Chen Weidong set out, Liu Xueting had already explained everything to him. Liu Xueting’s home was on Yingda Road.

“Yingda Road? You must be Minsheng Road! The name has been changed a long time ago! You must be from outside, right?”

“Yeah, I came here to visit my relatives.”

Then the master started the car and drove Chen Weidong into the crowd, smiling and saying, “That place is so prosperous! There are so many people! Now the shops are open until eight o’clock in the evening! I wonder how lively it is!”

along the way.

Chen Weidong looked at this Minsheng Road. Now it is one of the most prosperous and developed places in Jiangning City, and it is also very lively.

After getting off the car at the destination, Chen Weidong looked at a row of small western-style buildings. The black painted fence was now quite mottled.

This place is where Liu Xueting grew up. In the past, wealthy landlord families in the city liked to live here.

Later, after it was opened to the public, it became state-owned and began to be allocated to state officials as dormitories.

Liu Xueting’s family was naturally driven out and lived in a small house not far away.

Arriving at the location Liu Xueting mentioned, Liu Xueting’s family of four lived in a dilapidated brick house.
After finding the place, Chen Weidong knocked on the door. Suddenly, he heard a “click” and the wooden door in front of him was opened.

An old woman inside the door looked at Chen Weidong in confusion.

“Young man, who are you looking for?”

“You are… Zhang Meiyu? I am Liu Xueting’s man!” Chen Weidong had never seen Liu Xueting’s mother.

The old woman frowned.

“Who is Zhang Meiyun?”

She shook her head. “I haven’t heard of it. This is my son and I’s home. My son has gone to work and hasn’t come back yet. Why don’t you wait for him to come back and ask?”

“Do you know Liu Guomin?”

“I don’t know you. Who are you?” The old woman looked at Chen Weidong warily and was about to close the door.

Seeing the old woman closing the door,
Chen Weidong quickly reached out his hand, held the door, and said anxiously: “Auntie, you really don’t know Zhang Meiyun? She lived here before. Please think about it carefully, think about it carefully!”

The old woman’s face suddenly turned ugly.

“What’s wrong with you, young man? I always say this is my home, there is no Zhang Meiyun!”

Chen Weidong paused. Before coming here, he guessed that Liu Xueting’s family might have moved away, but he didn’t expect that they were really not here.

“boom!”

The door closed.

Chen Weidong looked at the door for a while, and then walked towards a shoe repair stall outside.

The shoe repairman was an old man wearing a pair of reading glasses and a black leather apron covered with dirt.

He was wearing gloves of an indistinguishable color. In front of him was a small machine on a tripod. It was manually cranked, and when the wheel turned, it could punch holes and thread the shoes.

There are files, glue and other small tools at my feet.

“uncle.”

Chen Weidong shouted with a smile and squatted beside the old man.

The old man was stunned and glanced at Chen Weidong sideways.
