Chapter 489: First Involvement in Smuggling
After paying the hospital fees, Lin Hao and his sister-in-law came to the ward. Seeing that Wei Shuying was still in a coma, Lin Hao asked the nurse:
"Nurse, when will my wife wake up?"

The nurse gave Wei Shuying an IV drip and said:
The mother was weak, and had exhausted too much physical energy during childbirth. She was also bleeding heavily, and she had just been given anesthesia, so she would not wake up for a while!

At this point, the nurse looked at her watch:

"It will be almost midnight when the anesthetic wears off!"

Lin Hao nodded, and then the three of them went to see the newborn baby. The baby had been treated and was wrapped in a swaddle by the nurse.

Wei Shufang carefully held the newborn Qiao Wugong, and then began to complain to Lin Hao.

However, Lin Hao did not respond. After all, it was not him who did it before. He just carefully took the child from Wei Shufang and shook him gently.

In fact, Lin Hao has always had a question in his mind. Lin Hao, I have now replaced the original Qiao Zuwang. Are the children of the Qiao family related to me by blood or to the original Qiao Zuwang by blood?

Although he was confused, Lin Hao did not mean to look down on her. After all, it was a small life, and an important character in the plot. The children of the Qiao family, in particular, had miserable lives.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Lin Hao will help them. As for the issue of blood relationship, he can just check it when he has the chance.

After looking at the child, Lin Hao thought for a moment and said:

"Shuying will have to wait for a few hours before waking up. Let's go back first. You have your own things to do!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Shufang glared at Lin Hao and said, "You don't want to play cards again, do you?"

Lin Hao shook his head and said, "What cards are you playing? I'm going to come and take care of you tonight, so I need to tell the kids at home."

Seeing Lin Hao's serious expression, Wei Shufang finally believed it a little. After all, Lin Hao's performance today was still remarkable.

At this time, at the Qiao family, Qiao Yicheng was boiling water and mixing soy sauce water for his younger brother and sister to drink, when he heard Qiao Sanli say sensibly:
"Brother, I don't want lard!"

Qiao Yicheng smiled, but still put some lard in Sanli's bowl, and then prepared to cook dinner.

Just when the children were drinking happily, Lin Hao and his two companions returned home and saw this scene. The sister-in-law glared at Lin Hao again.

"Second Aunt, Second Aunt~!" When the children saw that their biological father didn't call them, they immediately ran over and hugged Wei Shufang and acted coquettishly.

Damn it, I took the blame again! But Lin Hao didn't take it too seriously. This was all good for him.

Speaking of the children of the Qiao family, each one is more unlucky than the other.

Qiao Yicheng has been both a father and a mother since they were young, raising his brothers and sisters as his own children. When he got married for the first time, he married a selfish and brother-supporting woman. However, in his second marriage, because of Xiang Nanfang's status and position, he became sensitive and felt inferior. In the end, his health collapsed, and it was the kidney donated by Lao Qi that saved him.

Not to mention Qiao Erqiang, with the lush green prairie above his head. Due to lack of maternal love since childhood, he fell in love with a married woman who was more than ten years older than him.

Qiao Sanli had a husband who loved her, but she also had a biased mother-in-law. In the end, her husband Wang Yiding was injured in a car accident and survived, but he also lost the joy of being a man, leaving Sanli a widow.

Qiao Simei is a love-brained man, no~, he has no brains at all, and his eyes are fucking crippled. He chooses to forgive others for being cheated on again and again.

Qiao Qiqi has been fostered in his second aunt's home since he was a child. He has his cousin, second uncle, and second aunt who loves him, but they are a little overprotective, which makes him weak and cowardly. In the end, he becomes a son-in-law and adoptive parents for the scumbag girl.

And Qiao Zuwang, he is simply a living dad. Wait, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with being a living dad~!

Lin Hao said to Sister Wu:

"Sister Wu, please help me take care of the child at night!"

Sister Wu nodded, and then said simply:
"Okay, come to me if you need anything!"

Then Lin Hao returned to his room and counted his assets, which totaled less than three hundred yuan.

It must be said that Qiao Zuwang is not a person who can manage a household. Lin Hao shook his head, took out 10 yuan and gave it to Qiao Yicheng, then told him:
"Yicheng, I will go to the hospital to accompany your mother tonight, and you brothers and sisters will take care of her. If there is anything you can't do, go find Aunt Wu, okay!"

"Yeah~!" Qiao Yicheng nodded in response, but looking at the ten yuan in his hand, he felt that his father was a little strange today, as if he was a little different from usual.

After settling the four children, Lin Hao left with a quilt.

However, Lin Hao did not go directly to the hospital. Instead, he went to the factory, staggered to the machining workshop, picked up an iron bar, and made himself a few hollow iron rings.

After finishing, Lin Hao came to the factory director's office:

"Director Shi, I have something to ask you!"

"It's Old Qiao!" Director Shi knew that Qiao Zuwang was a cunning guy, and he would not visit him for no reason, so he smiled and said:

"Tell me, what's troubling you?"

"Director Shi, look at what you said. I can't come to you to report my work even if I have nothing to do!"

"Okay, let's talk about it!"

Lin Hao then said, "This is what happened. My wife gave birth to another son for me, but she had a heavy hemorrhage this time and almost died. I have to go and take care of her tonight."

"So I'm asking for leave from you. Look, I've even brought my blanket with me. I'm going to the hospital right away!"

"You are really good, kid. I have to congratulate you!" Director Shi nodded and said straightforwardly:

"As for your request for leave, I approved it!"

······
After leaving the factory, Lin Hao took a tricycle and headed towards Li Heman's home. Lin Hao's purpose was of course to let Li Heman go out to earn money.

You have to know that it was only 1977, and reform and opening up had not yet been implemented, and people were caught engaging in speculative trading. Tsk tsk.

Reform and opening up is a policy of internal reform and external opening up that was only implemented after the meeting in December 1978.

Moreover, even in the 1980s, there were still many restrictions on reform and opening up, let alone now.

For example, in the original drama, Erqiang and Sanmei took four eggs to sell, but not only did they fail to sell them, they also killed all the chickens they raised.

Of course, these are not difficult for Lin Hao, but the problem is that Lin Hao cannot leave for the time being. He has to wait until a woman who has just suffered heavy bleeding and a newborn baby stabilize before he can start the next step.

This gave Lin Hao an idea to let Li Heman make money for him.

After all, it is impossible to go to work. With only 30 or 40 yuan a month, I can barely support myself, let alone a whole family.

At the same time, Li Heman woke up vaguely, but felt weak.

Fortunately, Lin Hao only sucked his life for more than ten days, so he just felt a little tired, and there would not be too many side effects. Then Li Heman searched the house and finally found more than 700 yuan, and then sat in the living room waiting.

After a while, Lin Hao came to his house, and when Li Heman saw Lin Hao coming, he handed the seven hundred yuan in his hand to Lin Hao.

After Lin Hao collected the money, he began to guide Li Heman:
"Old Li, you see we have been working in the factory, but I am afraid we can't make any money. I have a way to make a lot of money. Do you dare to do it?"

Li Heman, whose mind was in a mess at this time, gradually became clear-headed after Lin Hao's guidance and instigation.

Lin Hao found that his inducement began to take effect. At this time, Li He's mind was full of thoughts about making a lot of money following Qiao Zuwang.

At this moment, his mind kept emerging with images of all kinds of enjoyment after making money, so he said excitedly:

"Old Joe, tell me, how can I make a lot of money?"

In fact, it was also the first time for Lin Hao to use multiple skills in combination, and he didn’t expect the effect to be so miraculous.

The only downside is probably that it's not as long-lasting as hive consciousness assimilation, but it works quickly enough!
Even though it is not as permanent as the hive consciousness, it is just right for using on a tool like Li Heman.

As for the issue of betrayal, Lin Hao was well prepared. He knew that he could still descend and possess Li Heman at any time.

Moreover, as time goes by, his hive assimilation skills will sooner or later make Li Heman his subordinate.

Then Lin Hao handed the seven hundred yuan and an iron space ring to Li Heman, and then said:

"Lao Li, this is my capital, and this ring is the secret of our fortune..."

When Lin Hao came out of Li Heman's house, Li Heman already knew how to use the space ring and was having a lot of fun playing with it.

Lin Hao, who was on the way to the hospital, sensed Li Heman's condition through his mind and a faint smile appeared on his face.

I felt that Li Heman was packing his luggage and preparing to buy some Jinling specialties to sell and accumulate funds when he went south.

When Lin Hao arrived at the hospital, he found that Wei Shuying had woken up, so he went forward to support her and said with concern:

"Wife, how are you, are you feeling better?"

Wei Shuying looked at Lin Hao in a daze, and at the same time felt Lin Hao's concern for her. She hadn't felt this way for many years!

"Better now. Have you seen our child?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it! She's pretty, just like you! But she's a little thinner!" Then Lin Hao sighed and said:
"To be honest, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of you before. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered this time, and Old Seven wouldn't be so skinny!"

Looking at her husband blaming himself, Wei Shuying chose to believe that, at least at this moment, Lin Hao loved him!
At this time, Lin Hao slapped his forehead and immediately said:

"Look, I almost forgot, I made chicken soup for you!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao took out two peeled eggs and handed them to Wei Shuying, then filled a bowl of chicken soup and fed her mouthful by mouthful.

At this time, Wei Shuying had a happy smile on her face. Looking at this woman who was already very satisfied with just a little bit of care, Lin Hao sighed in his heart.

In the next few days, Lin Hao took care of Wei Shuying while returning home to take care of the children.

At the same time, Lin Hao knew through spiritual perception that Li Heman had arrived in Wenzhou.

Yes, Lin Hao did not let Li Heman go to places like Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but to the closer Wenzhou.

Because around last year, people here bought up gold, silver and eel fry from all over the place, and then exchanged them for smuggled goods with island countries and Taiwan.

Currently, 80% of the smuggled goods in the country come from Wenzhou, and at this time Li Heman has arrived at a fishing village by the sea.

By asking along the way, I learned that this unknown Linjia Village was actually the largest smuggling goods market in the vicinity.

At this time, Lin Hao descended directly and possessed Li Heman, and then Lin Hao opened his eyes.

The market is not in the village, but on a mechanized farming road outside the village. Flatbed trucks and tractors are parked on both sides of the dirt road, and all kinds of goods are placed on the truck beds, just like a big market in the countryside.

Walking past the stalls, Lin Hao carefully examined the smuggled goods, wondering what to buy.

There are many people selling cloth, including Dacron, polyester serge, and polyester knitwear, which mainly come from Hong Kong Island, Japan, and even Taiwan. They are of good quality, have many colors and patterns, are cheap, and do not require cloth coupons. You will have no trouble selling them once you get them back.

The biggest problem is that it is large in size and difficult to transport, but this happens to be Lin Hao's strong point. You know, the iron ring that Lin Hao gave to Li Heman is 8000 cubic meters, which is 20*20*20 meters in size.

Looking at the wide variety of televisions in front of him, most of them are Japanese brands. The current mainstream is black and white TVs, but there are also color TVs. Lin Hao asked about the prices, and the prices can only be described as expensive.

Tape recorders, dual-card, single-card, single-speaker, dual-speaker, quad-speaker, and also sell various tapes.

There are also many stalls selling watches, including electronic watches, quartz watches, Japanese mechanical watches, and even Swiss watches.

In addition, there are cigarettes, bicycles, nylon umbrellas, nylon mosquito nets, electric fans, cameras, and video recorders, which is a dazzling array.

Lin Hao walked and stopped, asking about prices from time to time. While getting to know the market, he was also thinking about what goods to buy so that he could sell them well.

In addition, although Lin Hao’s space is large enough, his capital is too small, only 700 yuan, which was contributed by Li Heman on his own initiative.

Therefore, without considering portability, Lin Hao had to choose a product that was low-priced, high-profit, and easy to sell in large quantities. Finally, Lin Yi decided to take the electronic watch back.

Seeing a stall full of watches, Lin Hao asked:
"Boss, how much is this electronic watch?"

"Look, that's the kind you want!" The boss pointed to a simple electronic timepiece and said:
“This one is 10 yuan!”

Then he pointed at the watches one by one and introduced them: "This one is 12 yuan, this one is 15 yuan, and this one is 18 yuan!"

"12 is too expensive, give me a cheaper price!"

The stall owner shook his head and said:

"You get what you pay for!" He pointed to another simpler electronic watch and said:
"If you want cheaper ones, we have them. These are eight dollars a piece!"

"Of course we have good stuff if you want it!" He then took out a digital watch from his pocket that looked like it was made with fine workmanship and said:
"I have a better quality one here. A high-end one like this with a world clock will cost at least 50 bucks!"

Seeing that Lin Hao didn't speak, the stall owner asked impatiently:
"Brother, please speak up. What kind of watch do you want and how much does it cost?"
