Chapter 55 His Thoughts

When carrying the offerings up the mountain, Xiao Penghui also heard Li Hongying chatting with his wife, saying that Xiao Cheng had married a young wife with a good personality, but he did not believe that Xiao Cheng would be so short-sighted and be held back by a mere woman.

“A good man is ambitious in all directions and makes a lot of money, so there is no home anywhere.” Xiao Penghui continued to lobby.

Several Xiao family members who came back with him were also drawing big cakes and told Xiao Cheng that there was a lot of money to be made outside.

 The words are both implicit and explicit, implying that there is no way out and no future in a small town. Once you have money, women will follow you wherever you go.

 Men who have no money will be looked down upon everywhere. When they go back to the village to worship their ancestors, they can't even go to the first echelon. When they come back by bus, the old people in the village are all happy when they see them.

 I couldn’t tell how happy I was. When I went up the mountain, many elders asked them to help with the younger ones.

  People who have made a lot of money come back with a proud ancestor, but if they have not made money and are still not a well-known person, they will lose face when they come back to worship their ancestors, and the village chief will not even serve you tea.

 It was a great honor for Xiao Penghui and others to return to their hometown to pay homage to their ancestors, and to be personally received by the person who spoke to the Xiao family. They were somewhat vain in their hearts, and spoke with a little arrogance.

 Xiao Cheng just smiled and said nothing.

He disdains hypocrisy and subterfuge, and there is no need for them.

 The southern city is in deep water and is in chaos. The real estate and commercial streets are controlled by local snakes. The casino, nightclub and entertainment industry belongs to He Yongli. The canals, docks, sand and gravel fields, water dance halls, and security industries are in the hands of big bosses.

Li Chengbin was also responsible for dividing the river and governing it. The sand and gravel fields in Pingcheng area were somehow related to Li Chengbin. The big umbrella behind him has always been a mystery in Nanshi.

The last shotgun incident came to light.

The big boss is in Nanshi and has extended his reach. Several small counties around Pingcheng have been infiltrated and controlled. Now he is also eyeing Pingcheng. Sooner or later, he will start a war with Li Chengbin.

Faced with Li Chengbin, Da Umbrella will definitely not sit idly by and watch, and it will be another fierce battle.

If you want to open a road in Nanshi, you must either join in the troubles with the four giants, or eradicate the four giants.

 Otherwise, if you go to Nanshi to hang out, you will just hang out. If your business gets bigger, you will be manipulated and you will never get ahead.

  If you don’t have the strength to break in, it’s even more like sending yourself to death.

Xiao Cheng looked at the girl wearing a straw hat under the tree, his dark eyes gradually reflected the light. He wanted to find a way out, not to die. There were more development opportunities in other places than in Nanshi.

Seeing his stubbornness, Xiao Penghui couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "We are all from the Xiao family, and uncles and uncles only occupy the same seniority. Let me tell you a few words. If you want to live a good life or continue to live a hard life, you should think about it yourself."

“We won’t say anything more. If you go to Nanshi, let me know in advance. I will definitely entertain you with good food and drinks. If anything happens, let’s discuss it with the Xiao family.”

 “As long as you don’t mind Uncle Six’s verbosity.”

Xiao Penghui quickly returned to the tone of his elders. In addition to being shrewd when discussing business, there was also a hint of cordiality.

Xiao Cheng had to deal with it and said, "No, what Uncle Liu said makes sense."

With the title of fifth aunt last time and the title of sixth uncle at this moment, it is not difficult for Xiao Cheng to speak.

 The result was...Xiao Penghui saw how enthusiastic he was and thought his consolation was useful.

 With with me rambling on and off, he started chatting awkwardly about drawing a pie.

  Xiao Cheng: “…”

Under the leafy tree, Bai Lu and Xiao Wei beat their calves for a while, then leaned against the tree to rest.

 Suddenly voices came from behind.

“Ba Po, do you have a lot of chestnuts at home? Let’s buy them all.”

The person being questioned was probably the eighth in seniority, and he read it directly in a rough and smooth voice.

The person who was called Ba Po said angrily: "Ba Po, the children of the Xiao family shoveling and weeding around just called me Grandma. Didn't you hear that?!" "Everyone is helping our ancestors clean up the mess." Damn it, why are you wandering around buying chestnuts? You don’t know what season it is? The chestnut flowers are not blooming. Where did you get the chestnuts from?"

"Aren't you going back to your hometown to worship your ancestors? Are you talking about money in front of your ancestors before the incense is even hung? Are you crazy because of your poverty? Which girl are you from? I want to see what kind of parents can teach such a dishonest person? A daughter who knows the rules!”

Li Shuixian was so scolded that she ran away red-faced.

When he ran past a big tree, he saw Bai Lu gloating and laughing. He suddenly became angry and sneered: "I can't get chestnuts, and you can't get them either!"

“You have heard those words, right? There are no chestnuts on the Xiaojia Mountain. If you go all the way with your belly full, you will have no business. You will die of poverty in the future!”

Bai Lu crossed her arms and continued to laugh: "Have you sold your black coke?"

Li Shuixian choked, her chest heaving violently with anger, and her words were stuck in her throat.

Xiao Wei responded very cooperatively: "No, yesterday I saw Boss Pig carrying a butcher knife to return the goods."

 “Is business so bleak?”

Bai Lu looked exaggeratedly shocked and sympathized: "If you can't even make back the cost, will you lose money?"

Li Shuixian opened her mouth to bombard her, but Xiao Wei spoke before her: "I don't know if it's a loss or not, I might die of poverty."

Bai Lu held the tree and laughed until the branches trembled.

Li Shuixian was so angry that he was fuming: "Whoever does business for the first time can have smooth sailing. The stir-fried chestnuts I made the first time were a bit off, but the second time I made them, they were much more delicious than yours, and the business was also good." A thousand times better than you!"

“Eight… Grandma’s place doesn’t have any chestnuts. Someone else’s house must have them. When I buy them all back, you will die of poverty and go back pretending to be dirty!”

Hearing that his eldest brother's child was being slandered again, Xiao Wei angrily retorted: "You are full of dirt!"

 “You are covered in dirt!”

Li Shuixian was so angry that he strode over and raised his hand to slap Xiao Wei.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lu grabbed her back and threw her to the ground just like last time in the vegetable garden.

 Eat a mouthful of rotten leaves and roots.

"Bah! Bah, bah..." Li Shuixian vomited out dirty things. The wrist that was knocked down was so painful that he couldn't move it. He could only support his fat body with one hand and got up in embarrassment.

The Xiao family members who were clearing weeds around them all looked over when they heard the movement. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Li Shuixian, their curious eyes piercing her like knives.

Li Shuixian could only swallow it back into her stomach after biting her silver teeth.

Patted the dead branches and leaves stuck to the floral coat on his body, raised his head and glared at Bai Lu fiercely.

  Speak harshly in a low voice: "Just wait for me!"

 “What are you waiting for?”

Xiao Cheng walked over with a shovel and spoke sarcastically. His face was so gloomy and scary that it could scare a three-year-old child to tears. A drizzle of rain fell on his shoulders, turning everything into ashes.

Li Shuixian turned around and ran away without saying a word.

He ran too fast and didn't see the road clearly. He hit a tree trunk and was dragged away by her old road before he fainted.

 Xiao Cheng walked towards Bai Lu, reaching into his coat pocket, and when he came out, his palms had a touch of golden color.
