Chapter 166 Gift
"How many spots do you have on your face, can you count them?" Sun Chen teased.
"Brother! Don't bring this! You have red bumps on your face, but I haven't laughed at you at a word! The second girl immediately jumped to her feet in a hurry. These spots on her face have always been her heart disease, and she always feels that if she can find a way to get rid of them, her appearance will immediately rise to the height of fennel.
But among those Jianghu Lang who walked the streets and alleys to spots, she didn't dare to order them. Because her brother had told her that they could get rid of the spots on their faces, but they would leave the marks of the pits.
Next to the brother and sister who fell in love and killed each other, Fennel was holding the pearl necklace in her hand and looking at it calmly.

Li Yicong has been very excited since he came back from Fenghai County with Sun Chen. This trip not only increased his knowledge, but also made a small profit, which made him have a strong interest in going out to do business.
Sticking to a shop to sell things, you can only wait for customers to come to the door, no matter how prosperous you are, you can't escape the clamp of this small place in Youlan County, and now the business of Sun's shop has also reached a bottleneck, and it is impossible to go further.
However, going out to do business will not be subject to such restrictions. The Apocalypse Dynasty has a vast territory, and the business opportunities are even more limitless, only if he can seize one of them, he believes that he will definitely rise to prominence in the future.
But when he told his parents what he thought, he was resolutely prevented. Not only that, but my father also united with the second and third uncles to watch himself closely, as if he was afraid that he would run away if he was not careful. The money on her body was also scavenged by the old lady, and she didn't even give the money left to buy a snack to eat.
He was really unconvinced in his heart, why did his cousin Sun Chen do anything, the family didn't oppose it, and everyone suppressed it just now that he had an idea? Finally, when he asked his cousin to repay the account again, he couldn't help but ask.
Sun Chen smiled knowingly when he heard his cousin's question. To be honest, let alone him, when Sun Chen just came back, he was also quite moved.
Although it is a little difficult to go south and north, its return on investment is also high! It's just a small fight on this trip, which is almost as profitable as a year of a relatively prosperous store. If it's like Liu Mingxuan, if it's a serious business, then what's the point?
But this idea had only just popped up, and he immediately snuffed it out. He had seen the dozen or so guards who had been secretly following the caravan more than once, so he would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that they were just sent to protect him simply because of Liu Mingxuan's noble status.
Especially one day when they stayed in the mountains and forests, Sun Chen saw one or two figures appear from behind the trees when he got up at night. Thanks to the skills he had cultivated while hunting, he did not regress, and took out the darts he carried with him and threw them.
At that time, I heard a muffled snort, but Sun Chen did not rush to catch up. When I woke up the next morning, I saw a few drops of blood falling there.
Even if the Apocalypse Dynasty can be regarded as a country and a peaceful country, there will still be a few mountain bandits and road tyrants and the like, relying on improper means to accumulate wealth, and in order to achieve their goals, they will also take risks and use all means.
"You didn't even say any of these things at the time!" Li Yicong's eyes widened when he heard his cousin's story. He had no idea that what he had always thought was an easy trip would have so many dangers hidden along the way.
"Nothing happened, and I ruined my interest when I said it, so I just thought I had a dream at the time!" Sun Chen spread his hands disapprerovingly.
"Isn't it a bit whimsical that I'm still thinking about going out to make money?" Li Yicong lowered his head and spoke in frustration.
"You can't say that," Sun Chen patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that you're self-motivated, but you also have to come step by step as much as possible, do it well in Sun's shop, and give you a big surprise when the time comes." β
"What surprise?" Li Yicong raised his head and looked at his cousin with a blank expression.
"Was it a surprise to tell you now?" Sun Chen gave him a blank look. "Fuck off! It's annoying to look at you! β
"Hehe, then I'll go Brother Ah Chen first." Li Yicong was not annoyed, and greeted Sun Chen with a smile, "By the way, grandma said that he should take Erniu and Fennel to the house for dinner at night, don't forget it!" β
"Got it!"
The surprise that Sun Chen wanted to give him, no, it should be said that Sun Chen's surprise to his grandmother's family was his Sun family's shop in Taikang Town. He has this idea, and it has not been a day or two.
The reason why he sent it out was that on the one hand, he felt that his cousin Li Yicong was smart and clever, and he was a good material for doing business, and the other was that he felt that although the Sun family's shop was the starting point of his business, it was somewhat unrelated to the business he was doing now. Not to mention dividing a lot of his energy for no reason, it seems that there is not much room for growth.
Li Yicong is nineteen years old this year, and he has also reached the age of saying goodbye, he has a shop at home, and the hardware keeps up, so he can have more choice.
And he heard Li Yiming from his second uncle's family say that he seemed to have fallen in love with the daughter of the gentleman's family in his school, although scholars generally look down on those who do business, but for the sake of their daughters not living the same hardships as themselves, there are still many people who choose to marry in a well-off family.
When he went to dinner in the evening, Sun Chen told him what he was going to do, and unsurprisingly, he was rejected by his grandmother's family.
Their reason is very simple, Sun Chen has helped them enough, and the family's life is much better than before, if they accept Sun Chen's gift without contentment, it will also seem that the family is too greedy and shameless. And they knew that Sun Chen was able to have today all by himself, and there were too many difficulties along the way, so they didn't want to share the fruits of his labor like this.
Sun Chen's attitude was very firm, in order to make them accept, he almost turned his face, but his grandmother saw that things did not turn around, and reluctantly let her sons and grandchildren accept it. It's just that the nephew is so capable, and she can't help but think of her daughter who died early, and wiped her tears at the dinner table, and the family persuaded her for a long time before the old lady calmed down.

"Brother, do you remember what our mother looks like?" Erniu was silent for a long time on the way back, and couldn't help asking. "Why don't I remember? Am I being too unfilial? β
"How can you think that? We can't be filial to our mother, isn't it also filial piety to our mother? β
When her mother died, the little girl was only eight years old, and she lived in dire straits for a few years, and it was reasonable that she would forget.
"And what kind of person is she?"
"Our mother?" Sun Chen looked up at the starry sky and replied in a distant voice, "She is the gentlest and most patient woman I have ever met......"
