Chapter 171: No one thinks they have a lot of money
After the old man's intermittent narration, Zhang Xuebing finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that he was also a poor fisherman, and he mastered the ancestral art of finding fish nests, but in that era, the warlords were fighting, and there was no way for fishermen to live.
Forced to be helpless, he and a few old brothers started a business with no capital.
Their gang of bandits has been operating for many years, plundering countless merchants and making a fortune.
On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, after making a big deal, they sensed that the future was not good, and decided to wash their hands of gold and wash their hands completely.
So after the big boss discussed with him and divided the dirt, they each returned to their hometowns to marry wives and have children, and completely withdrew from the rivers and lakes.
But the other minions are not easy to arrange, and dismissing them will leave hidden dangers.
After discussing with the two, they decided not to do anything and completely cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
On the day of the spoils, a breakup feast was held to let the big guys go to eat and drink, and they put poison in the wine.
After everyone was poisoned, the two cleaned up the door, and then they divided a large amount of money and went their separate ways.
But at this time, the child's cry made the two of them stop.
A careful search led to a boy of three or four years old.
It turned out that one of the minions' children didn't know why he followed, and the child didn't drink, and when he started to kill, he hid, and then he was scared and cried for some reason.
The big boss is ready to take the knife down and send the child back to the west.
But the old man stopped him, first, because he was compassionate, and secondly, he was worried that he would never lose his children and grandchildren if he did bad things, so he decided to adopt the child.
The big boss naturally disagreed, and all the accumulated contradictions between the two broke out at this moment, and they fought with knives and guns.
The two were evenly matched, and in the end they were both wounded by swords and guns, and the big boss took most of the property, and the old man got a small amount of property and the child, and returned to his hometown Baihua Village.
But he had a heart, and he didn't use those possessions, but relied on his ancestral skill of finding fish nests to eat and live.
A few years passed, and the old man also married and gave birth to a son and a daughter.
The biological children and adopted sons are like brothers and sisters, and they get along very harmoniously, and the old man is completely relieved.
Until more than ten years later, the children have reached the age of talking about marriage, and the relationship between brothers and sisters is harmonious, and they are also very filial to their parents.
The old man even had a mind to turn his adopted son into a son-in-law.
I thought that the child had completely forgotten about that incident, but I didn't expect to find out that my adopted son secretly worshiped his father in the middle of the night. The old man paused to kill and called the child to the lake outside the village, revealing the butcher's knife in his hand.
Just at the last moment, his son and daughter rushed to stop the old man.
You can kill your adopted son, but you can't do it to your son and daughter anyway, so you have to give up on this matter.
Since then, the adopted son has treated the old man as if this incident had never happened, and he is still respectful to the old man.
But the old man always felt that he was secretly accumulating strength to brew revenge, so he was on guard everywhere.
and married his daughter far away, so that they would never have the opportunity to see each other again.
When the ten years of turmoil came, someone wanted to criticize the old couple, and the adopted son took his younger brother to maintain it everywhere, so that he survived, but his wife returned to the west.
The old man didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly suspected that his wife was killed by his adopted son.
It's just that the old man at this time is almost in his prime, and he has no strength to take revenge.
After the opening, the adopted son became the head of Baihua Village, and he was determined to improve the lives of the villagers, so he planned to let the old man take out the ancestral craftsmanship.
But how could the old man with a grudge be willing to hand it over, so the grudge between the two became deeper and deeper.
In August this year, because the second son's eldest daughter, Hua Laidi, was admitted to university, the conflict between the family broke out again.
The school was admitted, but he had to be able to afford the tuition, so Hua Weidong's family began to raise money everywhere, and the whole family tightened their belts.
The younger brother is a famous beauty in ten miles and eight townships, and he is eighteen years old, and there are people in every village who come to ask for relatives, including Gao Guoqing, the son of Gao Yongjun, the head of the big village.

Brother Hua wants to go to school with all his heart, so he naturally doesn't want to marry Gao Guoqing like a fool.
The adopted son began to mediate and instigated Hua Weidong to marry his daughter, which can not only solve the high tuition fees of the university, but also marry the head of the village, which will inevitably benefit a lot in the future.
Hua Weidong has always been worried about the future of his four daughters, and after hearing this, he was moved.
The two of them talked about Yu Xiuying again, and the marriage was almost a certainty.
When Brother Hua learned about it, he was so angry that he almost jumped into the lake.
But none of this can make the parents change their minds, and they are about to accept the bride price of the Gao family.
At this time, the old man who had been sick and bedridden for a long time took out a pair of gold bracelets from his belongings hidden for many years and gave them to his younger brother to sell to solve the crisis of tuition fees and forced marriage.
This led to a series of conflicts such as the boss poisoning with hatred later.
The old man was about to die, and he repented of his crimes as he spoke, feeling that he deserved to die, and thinking that only by dying at the hands of his adopted son could he wash away the sins of this life.
For this old man who is dying, Zhang Xuebing doesn't want to blame his past, even if he is sent to the guillotine at this moment, it doesn't mean much.
As for the grievances and hatreds in their family, they can't interfere.
The grace of nurturing, the hatred of killing one's father, and the love of brotherhood are intertwined, even if Bao Gong is resurrected, they can't be removed.
Now the only thing Zhang Xuebing can do is the things he promised, so that the kind villagers of Baihua Village will no longer be troubled by poverty and illness.
Looking at the old man and saying the end, it seemed that he was exhausted, he slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing was as light as a feather, thinking that he was already asleep, Zhang Xuebing got up lightly and was about to leave.
But at this moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, "Don't go, there is a way to send the Buddha to the West Heaven, you saved my life, we have cause and effect, you can't kill or bury!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was an old man who was about to lose his breath, Zhang Xuebing would have wanted to go up and kick him twice, and save your life well, why would this still be false?
Zhang Xuebing sneered, "Your business, I don't think I can help, let's leave it at that, I wish you a good end soon!" ”
This is perhaps the most disgusting and contrasting blessing.
When the old man heard this, he opened his mouth and laughed dryly.
"Boy, you are quite rich, but you build roads and schools, I'm afraid that the more money, the better, just now you also said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, don't you want to be more capable?"
This old man has a good memory, and he actually remembers what he said, but what does he mean, does he want to donate those things in order to build the school?
In his heart, Zhang Xuebing looked down on the old man's profession back then, and besides, even if they made a fortune at that time, those money definitely didn't make much money from the development of industry and agriculture now, and they didn't even make much money by going to the screw country by themselves.
The old man looked like a man, and immediately saw the contempt on Zhang Xuebing's face, and he said with a smile.
"Don't look down on me and that relative of your family, take out our inventory, you have to drop your jaw, how about it, do me two favors, these things are yours!"
These things are all stolen goods, but after 50 years, if you want to find the owner, I am afraid that there will be nowhere to find it, so it will become an ownerless thing.
No one thinks that he has a lot of money, Zhang Xuebing needs a lot of money in order to develop his career, so he decided to listen to what the old man said before making a decision.
He immediately said, "Tell me about it! ”
