Chapter 126 Fu Has Distant Relatives in the Deep Mountains
Chapter 126 The rich have distant relatives in the mountains
The uncle also wanted to quickly drive a big tractor. This walk-behind tractor looked so majestic that it would really freeze to death in the winter.
Sitting on it, the wind was so strong that it penetrated into the seams of my bones.
The uncle said loudly: "Okay, I'll ask you when we get there."
Susie shouted: "Thank you, uncle."
After riding on the tractor for almost an hour, we arrived at the Liujiagang production team.
Su Qian and Uncle Liao got off the car at the entrance of the village, and after asking around, they found Lao Wang's house.
Lao Wang's family did not have a yard, but there was a field dam in front of the house. In the countryside, almost every household has such a flat land in front of their door for drying grain.
Susie and the others saw many people sitting in the main room of Lao Wang's family before they reached the gate after crossing the dam.
Uncle Liao stepped forward with a cane, "Excuse me, is this Wang Youde's house?"
A woman came out of the room. The woman frowned and said, "He's not at home. Who are you?"
Uncle Liao smiled and lowered his voice, "I am a buyer at a radio factory in the provincial capital, and I collect gold."
The woman's eyes lit up, she looked back at the room, and winked at Uncle Liao, "Go to the back, let's go to the back to talk."
Someone in the room looked outside, and someone shouted: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
The woman rolled her eyes, didn't answer, and went to the stove room.
Uncle Liao and his sixth son Su Qian followed Lao Wang's wife into the kitchen house, and Lao Wang's wife poured water for several people.
Then she looked at a few people suspiciously and asked, "Are you really the buyer of a radio factory?"
Uncle Liao raised his chin and said, "Liuzi, take out the letter of introduction and show it to the eldest sister."
Liuzi took out a briefcase from his travel bag, opened the briefcase, and took out a flat letter of introduction.
Lao Wang's wife was illiterate and pretended to read it for a while. When she saw the big red seal under the letter of introduction, she gave up her suspicion.
Returning the letter of introduction to Liuzi, Lao Wang's wife whispered: "My Lao Wang has gone out. Come back in the evening. We will discuss it when you come."
Uncle Liao nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it that evening."
Uncle Liao asked again: "Does the eldest sister know which family in this village can provide accommodation and provide food? We will give you money."
He added, "But the three of us have to live in the same house."
When Lao Wang's wife heard about the money, her shrewd little eyes flashed, "How about you stay at my house?"
"I can spare a room in my house for you to live in. Can this girl sleep with my daughter?"
Uncle Liao was naturally willing. Living in Wang's house would be the easiest thing to do. "Okay, let's make an agreement first. Accommodation and three meals will be included for eighty cents a day."
"Whatever your family eats is what we eat."
Lao Wang's wife nodded, "No problem."
"But, in a moment, you will say that you are a distant relative of my mother's family, so as not to let these people know."
Lao Wang’s wife then complained, “Since the news that our Lao Wang dug up gold spread, all the relatives of our family who have not been in contact with each other for several lifetimes have come to visit us.”
"This one wants to borrow money, and the other wants to see the things we dug up. There is a constant flow of people all day long, which makes me really annoyed."
Lao Wang's wife sighed, "There are also several of Lao Wang's cousins who have not been in the fifth server. If it must be said that the gold was buried by the ancestors, they also have a share. Now I really can't tell."
Uncle Liao listened patiently to Lao Wang's wife's complaints. Lao Wang's wife vented her anger and brought several people into the hall.
There were four or five people in the main room, all staring at Susie and the others, looking up and down.
Susie wrapped her head with a scarf, leaving only her eyes exposed, and she was not afraid of them looking at her.
Someone asked, "Sister-in-law, who are these people?"
Lao Wang's wife said angrily: "A distant relative of my mother's family was passing by and wanted to come and see me."
One person laughed and said, "I'm afraid I'm here for your gold."
Lao Wang's wife sneered: "Then why are you sitting in my house?"
"As I said, Lao Wang is not at home, and I, a woman, can't make the decision. What's the use of you sitting here?"
The man was so embarrassed that he stopped talking.
Lao Wang's wife took Susie into a room and said, "Do you think I'll sleep here? This is my son's room. Let him go out and spend the night with others."
Uncle Liao nodded.
Lao Wang's wife came out of the house and ran to the kitchen to cook, regardless of the people in the hall.
When dinner was cooked, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old came and knocked on the door, "Uncle, it's time to eat."
Uncle Liao opened the door, and Su Qian followed him out. He saw that there were fewer people in the hall than before, with only two people left.
After entering the kitchen house, the table was set, only Lao Wang's wife, son and daughter were there, but Lao Wang was not there.
Lao Wang's son looked to be in his early twenties. After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he said impatiently: "Mom, when will those people leave?"
Lao Wang's wife snorted, "Never mind them."
"They like to sit and let them sit. Anyway, our family doesn't provide food and there is no place for them to sleep."
"By the way, Gangzi, who's house are you going to sleep at tonight? Your room is for guests to sleep in."
Gangzi said nothing and left after eating.
Susie noticed that Lao Wang's wife had left some food, probably for Lao Wang.
Susie went into the house after eating. It had been dark for a while, and the two people in the main room were so hungry that they finally left.
Seeing that the person was gone, Lao Wang's wife quickly took the food and knocked on a closed door.
The door suddenly opened, a man stuck his head out, took the bowl, and quickly tried to close the door.
Lao Wang's wife held the door, "Don't close it, everyone has left."
"By the way, the buyer from the radio factory is here. Didn't you say you want to sell the gold? Do you want to sell it or not?"
Lao Wang devoured his meal and said without raising his head: "Sell it. If you don't sell it, the Cultural Relics Bureau will come looking for it sooner or later."
"He thinks I don't know, he just wants to steal my gold."
Lao Wang's wife nodded in agreement, and then became worried again, "But if we sell it, what will we do if our relatives and friends ask us to borrow money?"
Lao Wang said harshly: "I took the money and went to Huijiang City to buy a house. Our family can move there, but no one can find it."
Lao Wang's wife sighed, "It's easy to say, we are not registered in the city."
"Besides, we don't have jobs. How will we live in the city?"
Lao Wang shook his head, "We'll tell you later, I don't know how much gold can be sold for."
"Where's the gold collector?"
Lao Wang's wife pointed to the room opposite, "In Gangzi's room, they said there was a letter of introduction. I saw it and it seemed true."
Lao Wang sneered, "You know nothing, you don't even know the words."
"When I finish eating, I will read their letters of introduction carefully."
Just as he was talking, someone outside shouted: "Old Wang——"
Lao Wang moved quickly, hid in the house and closed the door.
Lao Wang's wife came out and forced a smile on her face, "Brother Liu, it's you, Lao Wang is not at home."
Uncle Liu smiled, "I'm not looking for Lao Wang, I'm looking for those people who came in my car. Are they staying at your house?"
Su Qian had already heard it in the room, opened the door and came out, smiling: "Uncle Liu, is there any news?"
