Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother Novel - Chapter 226
Chapter 226 Danger
Oil fields were indeed a good idea!
If she did a good job, perhaps the old master would look at her in a different light. Perhaps their relationship would return to the past. She would be the third daughter of the Tang family in Beijing, someone that countless people wanted to fawn over. Then she would kick Lu Yaohua, who had lost his value, away. That way, she could marry someone from another family!
She glanced at the woman in the rearview mirror. She did not know when, but the crow’s feet had appeared at the corners of her eyes. It seemed like she would have to take good care of herself when she got back. It was all Lu Yaohua’s fault for not being able to do anything. He was good at nothing and always quarreled with her! Just the thought of it made her furious.
Unbeknownst to them, Lu Yaohua was thinking the same thing.
They are indeed family, Assistant Wei thought.
Gold Mountain oil field.
A large piece of land was covered in dust and there were many pits of different sizes. They looked barren and lifeless. Only a man in a blue uniform was smoking on a nearby hill. He held a thermos in his left hand and looked relaxed.
When he heard the sound of a car coming from behind, he instinctively turned around and met Lu Yaohua’s searching gaze. He stood rooted to the ground for a moment before remembering that these two were his bosses, so he quickly patted the dust off his body and ran forward to greet them. “Boss, Madam, good afternoon.”
Ever since this place withered, the workers had left, one after another. He rarely even met the boss, so when he saw Lu Yaohua, he did not recognize him for a while. The reason why he stayed here was to find a leisurely job. Although the salary was low, he did not have to do anything. It was fine as long as he kept an eye on the oil field every day. However, why are Boss and Madam here today? he wondered.
Tang Wenyi did not look at him at all. Her gaze was fixed on the dry oil field as she frowned and said, “Are you sure you can extract oil here? The crack in the ground is so big, what else can you dig out other than soil? If you go back now and ask for that 5 million yuan, the other party will definitely turn on you!” “This…”
Lu Yaohua did not expect it to wither so badly. He looked at the administrator uncertainly and asked, “Can oil be dug out here? I remember there was quite a lot before.”
The administrator hid his speechlessness and thought to himself, Before? The last time these two people came here was a few years ago! How could things be the same? This oil field was getting smaller and smaller. In addition, the Tang family was mining crazily, so it was not long before it dried up. With Boss’s speed, which oil field could withstand such digging?
“If we want to dig, we can dig it out. However, there’s a high chance that it will cause the ground to sink. So overall, I think it’s the best strategy if we can move. I wonder what the boss and madam think?”
Tang Wenyi said without hesitation, “Then dig! Since we can dig, how can we let it go? Moving will definitely require a lot of money. We don’t have so much spare money to do this now!”
This answer surprised the administrator. He did not expect his boss’s wife to do such a thing just to get the money! Although he had heard a little about the Lu family, he had always held on to the fact that a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. But now it seemed that they were already at the end of their rope. He quickly reminded her, “Madam, do you know what the impact of the sinking of the ground will be? At that time, the damage caused by floods will increase exponentially! And the buildings will be destroyed, and even the roads and bridges won’t be spared! Do you… want the entire city to suffer because of your selfish desires?”.
Tang Wenyi raised her eyebrows slightly and said unhappily, “It’s none of my business! It doesn’t matter if this city exists or not. In any case, I can still return to the capital. Are you trying to threaten me with these words? Do you think my temper is too good? Do you know better?”
Lu Yaohua’s heart instantly turned cold. Her family was in Beijing, so she could choose to watch from the sidelines without hesitation and put Shanghai in danger, but this was the home that he had lived in for most of his life! If it was gone, it was gone. How could she make others pay a heavy price just to save Lu Ze?
“Why don’t we reconsider?”
She snorted and said, “I can’t be bothered with these things. I just need money now! My son is still suffering in prison! So what if the ground is declining? As long as we do it secretly, who will know!? Why? Are you going back on your word?! Alright! It’s not like I’m not giving you a chance! Sign the divorce agreement and I’ll still get someone to dig up this piece of land!”
Her expression was deranged, and her words implied that she would do anything to get Lu Ze out!
The administrator listened to the scolding awkwardly, not knowing what to do. So there was a rift in the boss’s relationship with his wife. It wasn’t a rumor. The more loving they used to be, the more they scolded each other now.
“Boss, Madam, why don’t we move this piece of land? We can still earn a lot of money after we move it.”
