Quick Travel: After the European Emperor can sign in

Chapter 141 The parents on the road to escape 39

Zhang Yuanlin was worried that his younger brother would go astray, and it would not be a good thing for the villagers to find out about such a large amount of money without a source.

Even if the money in Black Tiger Village has been spent, it is inevitable that some people will mutter in their hearts that it will be difficult to deal with if they feel that Yuan Xi has taken a fortune.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and he never underestimates them.

Seemingly seeing a future in which his third brother would be ostracized by the villagers, Zhang Yuanlin looked ferocious and said sternly: "Third brother, this is not a trivial matter. You must explain clearly the origin of the money."

"Okay, then I tell the truth, do you believe it?"

Yuan Xi sighed helplessly. Of course it was impossible to tell the truth. It was impossible to tell his second brother that Goldfinger gave it to him.

Zhang Yuanlin's face softened, "You say it, I believe it."

"Pick it up."

"You think I look like a fool?"

Yuan Xi spread his hands, "Look, I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe me."

Zhang Yuanlin took off one of his shoes and threw it towards Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi dodged and shouted: "Forget it if you don't believe it, you still threw shoes at me."

"You think I'm a fool. What's wrong with me throwing a shoe at you? If you hadn't run fast, I would have given you a good beating."

Zhang Yuanlin regained some strength, picked up his shoes and put them on, and the chase began again.

At this time, Yuan Xi had to lament his wise decision. The house was built big and there was a lot of room for hiding, so the second brother could not stop him.

Finally, Zhang Yuanlin collapsed from exhaustion and was carried back to the main room, where he sat on a chair to rest.

When Yuan Xi saw his second sister-in-law leading a group of people into the main room, he stuck his head around the door and refused to go in. He wanted to catch a turtle in an urn, but there was no door.

He stood at the door and glared at his second brother.

"Okay, you two are quite old now. If you have anything to do, you can't sit down and talk about it."

"Is it because I don't speak up? The third brother's money has no source. How do you ask the people in the village to think of him? I have planned everything for him, but he doesn't say a word of truth in his mouth and treats me as a fool."

Zhang Yuanlin got angry when he mentioned this, "You just heard it. He said he picked it up. Who of you believes it?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other in confusion. Zhang Lei was about to nod in support of his biological father, but then he noticed that his second uncle was staring at him, as if his eyes were saying, "Dare you nod and give it a try."

He touched his neck uncomfortably and looked up at the roof, not even daring to look at his father outside the door.

Dad, it’s not that my son doesn’t want to support you against his conscience, it’s really his second uncle who won’t.

That's right, Zhang Lei actually didn't believe it in his heart.

Zhang Xing felt that Uncle San's excuse was too outrageous, so he shook his head and stood in the same camp as his father.

"Third uncle, your excuse is too outrageous."

"Let me tell you, I just picked it up. Believe it or not."

Seeing Yuan Xi's insistence, the second sister-in-law was a little shaken and said despite her husband's incredulous expression: "Lao Lin, it doesn't look like Yuan Xi is telling lies."

"Second sister-in-law is still clear-sighted and clear-minded, unlike some people who just talk."

Zhang Yuanlin laughed angrily, "Okay, then tell me exactly where you picked it up, when you picked it up, and how much money you picked up?"

"On the first day I got here, I picked it up when I went to the beach. But what I picked up was not silver. I picked up a big shell with several pearls in it, one of which was as big as this." Yuan Xi gestured with his fist, "Go to the city. When I was doing business, I sold a few small ones for three thousand taels."

As for why he went to the beach on his first day here, it was because when he signed in that day, he got a new thing called a sea drift bottle. He looked confused at that time, but Wuba reminded him to go to the beach, and then he discovered that the big clam was really washed ashore by the sea in front of him.

As for selling it, it was impossible. He didn't believe that his second brother could still go to the city to inquire about it.

"If you don't believe me, I still have a few pearls in the house. I'll take them out to open your eyes."

Yuan Xi ran back into the house. After a while, he held a wooden box in his hand and placed it on the table.

"The rest is all here."

They had never seen such a precious object like a pearl, and everyone else in the room came forward curiously and formed a circle.

Once the wooden box was opened, the pearls inside were crystal clear and round. The smallest one was about the size of a thumb. As for the largest one, Zhang Yuanlin even touched it with his fist.

"How's it going? I didn't lie to you."

"I really picked it up."

Zhang Yuanlin looked dazed, his brother was so lucky.

Not only him, but others were also in a trance. It felt so unreal, like fake.

Zhang Yuanlin closed the lid and said, "Yuan Xi, take it back and keep it away. Don't let it out."

"None of you are allowed to talk too much outside, do you understand?"

"Then what should I tell you about the origin of my money? The village has been repaired, so I must go to live there. I can't let it go unused."

"Just say I picked up a pearl, don't mention more."

Soon Yuan Xi bought a large piece of land and the news of having a Zhuangzi spread in the village.

The story about Yuan Xi picking up a pearl at the beach and selling it for several thousand taels exploded in the hearts of the villagers like water dripping from a frying pan.

For a time, people in the village often ran to the beach, holding shovels in a dignified manner.

Not to mention, someone actually picked up a pearl on the beach and sold it for a hundred taels of silver, which immediately aroused the emotions of the villagers. But as time passed and no other lucky person showed up, the heat of the matter dropped.

Yuan Xi's money passed through Ming Road. As for why Yuan Xi sold so many pearls, another person sold one for a hundred taels. There was no need for Yuan Xi to make excuses. The villagers automatically figured out a reasonable explanation and concluded that Yuan Xi must have picked up the big pearl.

Yuan Xi went to Zhuangzi by the sea for vacation from time to time. As for working in the fields? That was impossible. There were so many refugees who couldn't survive, so he bought a group of people to maintain Zhuangzi's production and management, and then lived a life of retirement.

Isn't it normal for someone of his grandfather's generation to live a life of retirement?

Yuan Xi, who was not yet fifty years old, lay down confidently.

Zhang Xing, who was only three years younger than him, was so envious that he almost shed tears of envy.

Yuan Xi not only lay down by himself, but also pulled his second brother and sister-in-law to lie down together. Later, the clan leader also came over from time to time. This village became a retirement village, and other elderly people in the village also liked to come and lie down for two days. Yuan Xi was very happy welcome.

Zhuangzi raised a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, grew a lot of vegetables, bought fruits from the hills, and all kinds of grains. The main thing was to have everything.

I definitely couldn't finish the food at home, so I asked people to try selling it. Later, I became a supplier to the county restaurant, and gradually Zhuangzi became profitable. With a serious business, Yuan Xi no longer had to hide his money and found various excuses. He expanded Zhuangzi and built several amusement facilities.

He also led a group of people to climb mountains and catch the sea, and occasionally went to the city to hire storytellers to listen to stories and opera singers. His life was rich and colorful.

Yuan Xi became the leader of the Sunset Group in Zhangjiacun.
