Chapter 139: Old Lady Zhao
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and after a moment of silence, her father slowly told a piece of the family history of his ancestors.
It's the story of 'mining' before, absolutely thrilling, Zhao Rui's ancestors are also the family that made a fortune because of mining...
It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, there was not enough to eat, and when he signed a contract to go to foreign 'Africa' as a coolie to mine, he could eat a bowl of rice, not only to fill his stomach, but also to earn wages, so he attracted a lot of toiling people to make a fortune.
That year, Zhao Rui's grandfather, that is, Zhao Rui's father's grandfather, the family died of famine, and they couldn't live anymore when they were hungry.
Needless to say, there are many people who go to work as coolies in foreign 'Africa', but not many survive.
After crossing the ocean and going to Africa, everyone usually doesn't ask their real names, they all match their nicknames, and among the 'teammates' who went with Mrs. Zhao in the first phase, there are only four people who get along with each other very well.
Old drunkards, you can skip eating, but you must drink, you can't drink without alcohol, you are drunk and dream of death.
Old pervert, likes women, no woman is unhappy, typical pervert reincarnated...
The old gambler, just a habit, likes to gamble, all kinds of unique will play, but every time you gamble, you will lose...
The big smoker, contaminated with opium, smokes fiercely.
In this way, several people supported each other, signed a five-year deed of sale, and then agreed to return to China together!
Mining, digging is diamonds, crystal clear, one is worth a fortune, and who can not be tempted by the absenteeism of mining...
That's it, each hiding their thoughts, hiding a little 'diamond', and spent three years safely...
I have to admit that Mrs. Zhao has a flexible mind and a good life, but something happened in the mine, and something happened to her!
The law and order in Africa is not very good, and there are often fights between foreign colonists and local natives, and the local natives are extremely vicious and hateful to outsiders.
On that day, the entire mine was captured, and almost all the miners were killed, and Mrs. Zhao's eyes flickered, counting on his heart, and then he fell to the ground in a hurry, his eyes were closed and he pretended to be dead, and he also pulled a dead body to block his body.
When he pretended to be dead, he also glanced at the 'corpse' blocking his body, which was actually his friend-old gambler...
The group of African natives, after a burning, washed the entire mine in blood, and then walked away.
This mine, except for Mrs. Zhao, was almost dead, and after waiting for the group of African natives to evacuate, he pushed away the corpse of the old gambler and staggered to his feet.
"It's all dead, fortunately I'm smart..."Carefully probing around, after the old lady Zhao was sure that it was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the small diamond particles on the ground, and couldn't help laughing.
In the pocket of the old pervert, he found three diamonds, as well as a colored diamond.
The old drunkard had a small handkerchief hidden close to his chest, wrapped in a dozen diamonds...
After such a toss, Mrs. Zhao put away the diamonds, and with her own ingenuity, after several tosses and turns, after two years, she changed from a poor absentee to a well-known trader, and returned to her hometown after crossing the ocean.
With money, everything is easy to do, with his own cleverness, Mrs. Zhao is prosperous, and she also married a teenage daughter-in-law, who is extremely beautiful.
