Chapter 1087 Faint Light
Chapter 1087 Faint Light
Black Panther pushed He Yudong out of the car and took him into the warehouse.
The warehouse was dark, with only a dim light bulb emitting a faint glow.
He Yudong looked around and found that the warehouse was full of various goods and some large machinery and equipment.
"Why...why did you bring me here?" He Yudong asked nervously.
Black Panther smiled and said, "Of course, I want you to experience what it means to live a life worse than death!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and several burly men walked out from the shadow of the warehouse, holding various weapons in their hands.
He Yudong looked at these fierce men and felt very disappointed. He knew that he was really finished this time.
"Hit him!" Black Panther gave an order, and several big men rushed forward, punching and kicking He Yudong.
He Yudong was beaten so hard that he screamed and rolled on the ground, but he could not escape the siege of these big men.
Black Panther stood aside, watching all this with a sneer, his eyes full of cruelty and pleasure.
Suddenly, the door of the warehouse opened and a man in a suit walked in.
"Stop!" the man shouted.
Several big men immediately stopped and stood aside respectfully.
Black Panther walked up to the man, bowed and said, "Boss, why are you here?"
The man ignored him and walked straight to He Yudong, squatted down, and looked at him carefully.
"Are you He Yudong?" the man asked.
He Yudong raised his head, looked at the strange man in front of him, and nodded with difficulty.
The man smiled and said, "Not bad, a bit of courage. I like it."
He Yudong closed his eyes and immersed himself in the trading space. The space was not big, only about 200 square meters. The grids on the four walls were like supermarket shelves, emitting a soft light. A small transparent bottle lay quietly in the center of the space, filled with clear spiritual spring water.
He Yudong looked at the dazzling array of commodity boxes, each of which was marked with the commodity name and point price. 0.5 kilograms of Wuchang rice, 0.3 points. 0.2 kilograms of pork belly, points. kilograms of bacon, points... He was dazzled by the sight.
The initial score was 100 points, although not much, but it was also earned in vain. He Yudong thought about changing some food first to improve his weak body. After all, dealing with those beasts in the courtyard, he couldn't do without a good body.
He exchanged ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of pork belly, two kilograms of bacon, and some vegetables and fruits, spending less than two points in total. Looking at the food that appeared out of thin air, He Yudong felt very happy.
After exiting the space, He Yudong felt full of strength. He got up from the bed and walked to the door, just in time to run into He Yuzhu who was coming back with a broken bowl.
"Hey, Erdong, you're awake? How do you feel?" He Yuzhu had a look of surprise on his face. In the bowl in his hand was the leftover cabbage stalks from the cafeteria.
"I won't die." He Yudong replied indifferently, without any gratitude in his eyes.
He Yuzhu was stunned. Why was this guy so weird today? Although he didn't get along with him normally, he was never so cold to him.
"Who are you talking to, kid? I brought you food with good intentions, but you behave like this!" He Yuzhu was a little unhappy. He put the bowl on the table and his tone became tough.
He Yudong glanced at the cabbage stalks in the bowl and sneered, "That's it? Are you sending away beggars? Keep it for yourself!"
He Yuzhu was immediately furious: "You little bastard, say it again!" He rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action.
He Yudong was not afraid at all, staring at He Yuzhu with cold eyes: "Why, you want to fight? Come on, who's afraid of who!"
The two were on edge and were about to fight. At this time, Qin Huairu's voice rang out in the yard: "Shazhu, Yudong, what are you doing?"
Qin Huairu walked over with her waist twisted, looking at the two of them with concern. She was wearing a red floral shirt today, which made her skin look even whiter. She seemed to have deliberately unbuttoned one button on her chest, revealing her seductive cleavage.
"Huai Ru, you came at the right time. I don't know what happened to this kid today. He is challenging me!" He Yuzhu pointed at He Yudong and complained to Qin Huai Ru.
Qin Huairu walked to He Yudong, gently took his arm, and said softly: "Yudong, how can you quarrel with Brother Shazhu? He is your biological brother!"
He Yudong pulled his arm back without leaving a trace and sneered, "Brother? If he really treated me as his brother, he wouldn't feed me cabbage stalks every day!"
Qin Huairu's face froze, and then she put on an aggrieved expression: "Yudong, you misunderstood Brother Shazhu. He has no choice. His family is not well off, and it's good enough for him to have enough to eat."
"The conditions are not good? I see him eating meat every meal, but how come it becomes cabbage stalks when it comes to me?" He Yudong ruthlessly exposed Qin Huairu's lies.
Qin Huairu bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yudong, how can you say that? You know how much Brother Shazhu has sacrificed for this family..."
He Yudong felt sick when he saw Qin Huairu's behavior. This woman is such a dramatic actress!
He was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, so he turned back to the house. He took out the pork belly he had exchanged before, cut a large piece, and put it in the pot to stew.
Before long, the whole room was filled with the rich aroma of meat. He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu smelled the aroma, and their appetite was aroused.
"Where did this kid get the meat?" He Yuzhu couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his heart full of doubts.
Qin Huairu's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind. She walked to He Yudong's door and knocked gently: "Yudong, what are you doing? It smells so good!"
He Yudong opened the door and looked at Qin Huairu with a half-smile: "Oh, I'm stewing meat, do you want to eat?"
Qin Huairu blushed and nodded shyly: "Yes, I want to eat."
"If you want to eat, then come in." He Yudong stepped aside, and Qin Huairu walked in with a twist of her waist.
He Yuzhu also followed in, staring at the meat in the pot, his saliva almost flowing out.
He Yudong filled a bowl with meat and handed it to Qin Huairu: "Try it, how is my cooking?"
Qin Huairu took the bowl and started eating eagerly, praising as she ate: "Delicious, really delicious! Yudong, your cooking skills are really good!"
He Yuzhu also looked at He Yudong eagerly, hoping to get a piece of meat.
He Yudong acted as if he didn't see it and just started eating.
He Yuzhu finally couldn't help it and said, "Erdong, give me a piece, I want to try it too."
He Yudong raised his head and looked at He Yuzhu with a half-smile: "Want to eat? Sure, bring something to exchange!"
"What to change?" He Yuzhu was stunned.
"Your job!" He Yudong said word by word.
He Yuzhu was stunned. He didn't expect He Yudong to make such a request. The job in the cafeteria was a stable job, and many people would fight for it. But this guy wanted his job just for a piece of meat?
"Are you crazy? You want my job just for a piece of meat?" He Yuzhu widened his eyes as if he was looking at a fool.
He Yudong sneered, "Silly Zhu, you are crazy! Do you think I don't know how lucrative your job in the cafeteria is? You eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, but you let me eat cabbage stalks. Do you still have a conscience?"
"I..." He Yuzhu opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute. He did often bring back delicious food from the cafeteria, but most of it went into Qin Huairu's stomach, and He Yudong really didn't get any benefit.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Yudong, Brother Shazhu is doing this for the sake of our family. It's not easy for him to support so many of us alone."
"For this family? I think it's for you!" He Yudong mercilessly exposed Qin Huairu's lies, "You are a widow with three children and a mother-in-law. Where do you get the money to buy new clothes and cosmetics? It's all Sha Zhu's money!"
Qin Huairu's face turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes again: "Yudong, how can you say that to me? I'm a woman, it's not easy for me..."
"Don't give me that!" He Yudong interrupted her impatiently, "If you really have a hard time, then go find a job and stop relying on a man to support you all day long!"
Qin Huairu was left speechless by He Yudong and could only shed tears silently.
He Yuzhu was distressed when he saw this. He pointed at He Yudong and yelled, "How can you talk to Huairu like that, kid? She's your sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law? Are you worthy of mentioning these two words?" He Yudong sneered, "What is your relationship with her? Everyone in the courtyard knows it. How dare you bring up such a trivial matter between you two?"
He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu's faces turned ugly. They didn't expect that He Yudong would dare to expose their relationship in front of them.
"You...you are slandering me!" Qin Huairu cried, "Shazhu and I are innocent!"
"Innocent? Then what were you doing secretly at night?" He Yudong pressed on, "Don't think I don't know about your dirty deeds!"
Qin Huairu's face turned pale. She didn't expect that He Yudong actually knew the secret between her and He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu was also panicked. He quickly explained: "Erdong, you misunderstood. Huairu and I have nothing..."
"Whether you have it or not, you know it in your heart!" He Yudong was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, "This is my condition, do you want to change it? If not, I will tell your story to the old man and let him judge it!"
He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu were immediately panicked. They knew that the old man was well-known for his integrity, and if he knew about their affairs, he would definitely punish them severely.
"Change! I'll change!" He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and agreed to He Yudong's request.
He Yudong smiled with satisfaction. He had disliked He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu for a long time, and today he could finally vent his anger.
"Okay, then let the uncle take charge tomorrow and we will hand over the work." After saying this, He Yudong turned around and went back to the house.
He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu stood there, their faces livid. They had never expected that they would be tricked by He Yudong.
Back in the house, He Yudong was in a good mood. He took out the remaining pork belly from the space and cut a large piece, preparing to reward himself.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" He Yudong asked.
"It's me, Yushui." A crisp voice came from outside the door.
He Yudong opened the door and saw a graceful girl standing at the door.
He Yushui is He Yuzhu's younger sister. She just turned eighteen this year. She is pretty and beautiful, and is the most beautiful girl in the courtyard.
"Yushui, why are you here?" He Yudong asked.
"Brother, I heard that you took over Brother Shazhu's job?" He Yushui looked at He Yudong with a worried look on his face.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" He Yudong asked.
"Brother, if you do this, what will happen to Brother Shazhu?" He Yushui said anxiously, "He is our only relative."
He Yudong sneered: "Relative? If he really regarded me as a relative, he wouldn't feed me cabbage stalks every day!"
"Brother, I know Brother Shazhu treats you badly, but you can't treat him like this!" He Yushui begged bitterly, "It's not easy for him to support so many of us alone."
"Yushui, you are too naive!" He Yudong shook his head. "Do you think he really has a hard time? He eats meat every day and wears new clothes. How can he look like a person who has a hard time?"
