Chapter 003: Fog Grass, the Ability to Read Minds

In the dream, he stands before a large willow tree, looking up at the sky where the sun and moon coexist, side by side suspended in midair. The scene is profoundly striking, and even in the dream, one can clearly feel the sensation of the sun shining and the moon illuminating, bringing a sense of tranquility and refreshment to the heart and mind.

Guo Dalu got up quickly, dressed himself, and went out with Guo Qing

He has gone back on his word. He just called Tie Dan and said that his wife does not agree with him driving that far. What kind of person is this!

Wang Wenwu lives in the neighboring village, which is less than three miles away from Guoqiao Village. After receiving a call from Guo Ting, he rode over on his motorcycle in about ten minutes.

Originally, this matter was initiated by Guo Dalu, and he was also responsible for negotiating and conducting business with the seller and the buyer at that time. Therefore, Guo Qing and Guo Tingkai both felt that he should receive thirty percent. However, Guo Dalu insisted on taking the same proportion as Guo Tingkai. When his temper flared, no one could persuade him

"I just finished eating." Wang Wenwu smiled politely at Guo Dalou, fully aware that among the people present, the most difficult to deal with was not the formidable Guo Qing, nor the mature and composed Guo Tingkai, but rather the most tactful Guo Dalou.

As soon as this thought emerged, a certain nerve in his brain twitched, and then Guo Dalu felt a vivid green blade of grass, glistening with dew, appear in his mind. The grass swayed gently for a moment, leaving behind a message in Guo Dalu's consciousness:

Isn't it necessary to discuss it with your sister-in-law

Guo Dalu responded with a smile, "Brother Wu has arrived, have you had breakfast?"

Guo Dalu nodded slightly and said, "Tiedan is right, we should not rush to sever ties with him. Let's arrange a meeting to discuss it further."

Mr. Guo waved his hand dismissively and turned to enter the house. Guo Qing shot him an angry glare, while Guo Ting slightly nodded, his face showing little expression, fixating on Wang Wenwu with his characteristic intense gaze

Guo Qing said in a rough voice: "I agree!"

Guo Dalu was immersed in the scene where the sun and moon shared the same sky when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. Just as he was about to turn around, he woke from his dream and saw Guo Qing's dark face.

Guo Dalu had a peculiar yet authentic dream

If Wu Ge still finds it difficult, then let's forget it; we can rent another car, Guo Dalu said succinctly.

Is it 500 yuan..." Guo Dalu opened his eyes and instinctively blurted out.

In order to accomplish this task, he successively brought in his cousin Guo Qing (to provide capital), Tie Dan Guo Tingkai (to handle the accounts), and Wang Wenwu (to drive), forming a partnership with the three of them. The four individuals established a profit-sharing ratio and were ready to embark on a major undertaking when, unexpectedly, the driver Wang Wenwu suddenly caused this incident

At the door

Wang Wenwu said: "It is like this, I had previously agreed with you all to go pick watermelons together. I went back and discussed it with your sister-in-law, and as soon as she heard it, she immediately opposed it, saying that she would not allow me to drive such a long distance."

"Tie Dan, what is going on with Wang Wenwu?" Guo Dalu saw Tie Dan talking to his father and walked over to ask.

Guo Dalu was taken aback on the spot, thinking he was experiencing a hallucination. He quickly closed his eyes, yet the words still clearly floated before him.

Indeed, it is a red envelope, and it has already been claimed

"Tiedan said you called him, saying that his sister-in-law disagrees... What exactly is going on?" Guo Dalu asked, looking as if he still hadn't figured out the situation.

Hmm? Wang Wenwu's expression changed slightly as he responded sensitively

Guo Tingkaidao: "Qing Ge, you should not be so impulsive. Wang Wenwu using his wife as a shield indicates that this matter is still negotiable; it depends on what conditions we can offer."

Guo Dalu frowned and said, "Wasn't it discussed well before? Where is Tiedan?"

Guo Tingkai stated: "To avoid any issues arising later, I suggest that we draft a formal contract, and then everyone should sign and affix their fingerprints."

He probably regrets it..." Tiedan curled his lip: "He thinks that we few hot-headed youths are unreliable, and in the end, not only will we not make any money, but he will also have to cover the gas expenses.

Upon opening the red envelope record, I discovered that it did not contain money, but rather a blade of grass. Next to the grass, there was a line of small print: "Yarrow, also known as counting yarrow, belongs to the magical artifacts of the art of divination, capable of reading minds and calculating fortunes, attracting good luck and avoiding misfortune"

Indeed, this is exactly what I told your sister-in-law, but she simply refuses to listen

The road, the road, has risen!

Guo Dalu felt a stir in his heart and continued, "Wu Ge, if you take a trip for us, we will pay you 500 yuan. You don't need to worry about anything else, just focus on driving well. What do you think?"

Guo Tingkai took out his phone and said, "I will call him."

Guo Qing is the cousin of Guo Dalu. Due to his tall and robust stature and dark skin, he has earned the nickname "Black Bull"

Mr. Guo interjected, "Are you still fussing about collecting watermelons?"

If only I knew what he was thinking

Is this truly Wang Wenwu's genuine thought

"Today, let's first take care of our two villages and see how much we can collect," Guo Dalu said

No, Dalu, don't be anxious, I... I promise you

No need, this time I will take care of this family!" Wang Wenwu said with a strong sense of masculinity

According to the terms of the contract, after Wang Wenwu receives a fixed service fee of 500 yuan, the remaining amount will be distributed among Guo Qing, Guo Dalu, and Guo Tingkai in the ratio of 6:2:2

Guo Dalu looked at Wang Wenwu and said, "Sister-in-law is also worried about you"

Wang Wenwu's expression clearly showed some surprise, secretly astonished: "How does he know what I am thinking?"

I have no problem collaborating with you, but do not discuss trivial profit-sharing with me. For each load I transport, pay me 500 yuan, and nothing else is negotiable

Guo Dalu smiled in understanding, but secretly pondered how to persuade Wang Wenwu. His tactic of using his wife as a shield seemed full of flaws, yet it was actually quite clever; after all, one cannot simply call someone else's wife over for a confrontation

Telepathy

The contract was drafted by Guo Tingkai, a student from a prestigious university, and then all four individuals earnestly signed their names and affixed their fingerprints

Wang Wenwu shook his head and sighed: "Women, with long hair but short knowledge..."

Indeed, the supermarket owned by Brother Qing contains the tuition fees for both Tie Dan and me

The idea of collecting watermelons originally came from Guo Dalu. According to his plan, the watermelons from Lixiang would first be purchased uniformly, then transported to the city, with a portion sold at retail and another portion sold to manufacturers. Once the first profits were made, the scope of watermelon procurement would be expanded to the entire Xiang County, and so on.

Guo Qing angrily shouted: "This coward, spineless wretch!"

Guo Dalu pondered for a moment, suddenly realizing something. He took out his phone, opened WeChat, and then he saw the chat history with Sun Wukong

A few people conversed for a while, and Guo Dalu returned to the house to have breakfast. Sitting at the dining table, he recalled the scene of reading the mind of Wang Wenwu just now. He closed his eyes again and found that the words were no longer there, and that blade of grass had also vanished.

Guo Dalu also nodded in agreement, while Wang Wenwu appeared somewhat awkward; however, since he ultimately achieved his wish, he did not voice any objections

Guo Dalu suddenly became alert, staring at Gu Qing, and asked: "What did you say? What happened to Wang Wenwu?"

"Alright, let's follow the main road," said Hei Niu Guo Qing, excitedly. "Anyway, you two can handle the thinking part, and I'll take care of the practical tasks."

"What are you doing so early in the morning..." Guo Dalu sat up, his head still a bit foggy from the hangover

He is unwilling to do it, let's find someone else, there are not only him in Lixiang who has a car

"Is everyone here?" Wang Wenwu dismounted from the motorcycle, smiling as he greeted Guo Dalu and the others

"There is a problem, Wang Wenwu is unwilling to continue working," Guo Qing said angrily

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Wu Ge, that Dajianghuai of yours is meant for long-distance travel, right?"

Guo Dalu and Guo Tingkai both laughed

This... Wang Wenwu steadied his mind and said with insufficient confidence: "I will discuss this with your sister-in-law when I return."
