Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands Chapter 119 The No.1 Tycoon Below Niu Tou Mountain! (2)

"If her maternal family hadn’t been in trouble, if her parents hadn’t died, would she be in today’s plight?"

"What happened to her maternal family?"

"What happened? Natural disaster. The year she was born, her maternal family’s village was swept away by a flood, and in the past ten years, more than thirty households from her maternal family couldn’t even find their bodies."

"Her whole maternal family was gone, later her father was gone, her real mother was gone, and her brother didn’t really take care of her. Sigh—"

"Really pitiful."

People talked about how pitiful Miss Chai was and looked at Mr. Luo with more disdain.

Mr. Luo’s face turned extrely unpleasant.

Eldest Young Master Chai comforted him and persuaded him into the house.

He personally chased out of the house to find his sister.

There were many people and carriages, it was quite lively, how could he find her?

He stomped his feet in anger.

The situation at the house gate was reported to the backyard, and Second Master Chai’s face turned blue with anger.

"She deserves to be abandoned by a man for having a strange illness!" Miss Chai cursed angrily, "Mr. Luo insists on marrying , can you bla that on ?"

.

Li Yuzhu and the others accompanied Miss Chai back to the mule cart.

"Thank you all so much today." Miss Chai picked out one hundred and twenty taels from a box of ingots for Li Xing’an, and five taels for Li Yuzhu.

A pile of large and small ingots was stacked on his robe, and Li Xing’an was so moved that tears almost fell.

For nearly two months, it was the first ti he saw ingots.

However, the pride of a noble son made him suppress the urge to kiss the ingots.

"Ahem—" He cleared his throat lightly, "You’re too kind, Miss Chai."

Though he spoke politely, he unceremoniously stuffed all the ingots into Li Yuzhu’s backpack.

He had no pocket to hold so much money.

Anyway, having money is a happy thing.

But when he turned around, he saw Mu Yuanxiu sitting next to him, and his face didn’t look good again.

This boy had ten taels more than him!!!

He wasn’t the richest person on Niu Tou Mountain!

"Miss Chai, what are you going to do next?" Li Yuzhu asked the girl in front of her.

She noticed that the girl was not happy after receiving her dowry.

Tears hadn’t stopped flowing.

"First, I’ll visit the graves of my maternal family, then my parents’ graves. Tomorrow, co find at the Chai family’s house in Taohua Village. I’m not in the mood to see a doctor today." Miss Chai raised her sleeve to wipe her tears.

Li Yuzhu did not understand, "Your maternal family... they are all gone?"

"The year I was born, a flood swept away half the village, my maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, my uncle’s whole family, my three cousins’ families, my maternal cousins’ families... more than thirty households disappeared overnight... not even the bodies were found, I worship at re morial mounds."

Li Yuzhu felt a pang in her heart.

No wonder the girl’s real mother remarried her own brother-in-law.

.

The mule cart reached the Chai family house in Taohua River Village, Li Xing’an took the cart with Li Yuzhu back to Niu Tou Mountain.

Mu Yuanxiu still followed them.

Thinking about how this guy was richer than himself, Li Xing’an was very annoyed.

"Mr. Mu, don’t you have sothing to do? Aren’t you going to visit the village?"

"No."

"Hunting is quite good, aren’t you going hunting?"

"I didn’t bring a bow and arrows."

Li Xing’an was angry, was he a lingering ghost?

He turned the cart around, "We’re not going back to Niu Tou Mountain, why don’t you just walk alone?"

Mu Yuanxiu looked at the sky, then at the Li family’s new house, "The sun is almost setting, the people building your house have all gone ho for dinner, where else do you want to go?"

Li Xing’an, "..."

.

At the intersection of the paths at South Mountain Slope and North Hillside, Mu Yuanxiu didn’t continue with them, he turned towards South Mountain Slope.

"Finally got rid of that young man, whew—" Li Xing’an let out a breath.

Li Yuzhu said with a laugh, "You dislike him so much? He didn’t bother you, did he?"

"How did he not bother ? Without him, I’d be the richest on Niu Tou Mountain. Now, I can only be second." Li Xing’an was downcast.

So that’s what it was about?

Li Yuzhu laughed, "Third brother, our house is almost finished, I think we can move in these two days. You’re not from Niu Tou Mountain anymore, no need to compare with him, compared to the people at the foot of the mountain, you’re the richest below Niu Tou Mountain!"

Li Xing’an was taken aback, yes, his third sister is so clever!

"Right, right, I am the richest below Niu Tou Mountain! Hahahaha!"

.

The brother and sister returned to the cave entrance just in ti for dinner.

Dinner was already prepared, three vegetable stir-fries, with a wild vegetable porridge, and so pan cakes.

Who made it?

Li Yuzhu asked the Great Princess.

The Great Princess raised her eyebrows slightly, "It was the eldest sister-in-law."

It was actually Xue Family?

Li Yuzhu was very surprised, every ti Xue Family was asked to cook, she always had various complaints and excuses.

She even thought Xue Family didn’t know how to cook.

"Eldest sister-in-law, dinner is so sumptuous." Li Yuzhu nodded towards her.

People should be encouraged more.

Xue Family glanced at her with little expression, "Everyone in the family is busy, I can’t just sit around and eat, can I?"

She actually didn’t want to cook; she was afraid Princess Consort Luling would drive her away.

Everyone sat around the table eating.

Li Xing’an, who gained a lot of money today, happily talked about the gains of the trip, and also told everyone the story of Miss Chai.

"No wonder, without parents, she would be bullied." Princess Consort Luling sighed.

She glanced at her own children, thinking of her own growing process, fortunately, her grandchildren were there, and their parents are still alive.

She was still healthy and could protect her children a little.

Xue Family thought of her own parents and that tightly closed door, she bitterly smiled in her heart, what’s the difference if her parents are alive or dead?

Guoguo ate the rice paste fed by Li Yuzhu, her eyes stared unblinkingly at Xue Family beside her.

Her expression was icy.

When Xue Family moved a little, she quickly turned her head to look at Li Yuzhu.

"What’s with the sigh? Father, Mother, you should celebrate, I gained one hundred and twenty taels of silver today, made a fortune, let’s think about how to celebrate?" Li Xing’an said with a smile.

His expression was quite proud, almost dancing out of joy.

"Oh, having money is amazing?" The Second Young Master glanced at him.

Li Xing’an chuckled, "That’s right, having money is great, second brother, you have no money, how can you experience the joy of having money?"

"Hmph!"

"Heh!"

They glared at each other disdainfully.

Seeing the children gradually making progress and the days getting better, Prince Luling was very pleased.

He twirled his small mustache, "The new house at the foot of the mountain is almost finished. Liu the bricklayer says, another couple of days of sun to dry the ramd earth walls a bit more, and you can move in."

"..."

"A new house should have a new look, so beds, cabinets, tables, and chairs need to be made; these all cost money. The third one said to celebrate, why not throw a housewarming banquet after moving in?"
