Chapter 374 Shocking Statement

Looking at the back of the figure kneeling on the futon, Lin always felt that he looked familiar.

She frowned and rubbed her eyes hard. It was really her uncle who was studying.

She looked shocked, "Cuiqin, the one who made the wish seems to be the third brother."

Sun pulled her back and said, "Sister-in-law, it's Zhancai. Do you think his brain has been damaged by studying so much? How could he make such an unrealistic wish?"

Lin shook her head and sighed softly, "For so many years, the third son has been studying in town just to avoid idleness, and he has developed a bad habit of eating, drinking and having fun. In the past, our first and second wives had provided for him, and he got used to it and didn't want to do anything. Now that we are gone, he can only pin his hopes on the Buddha."

The wealthy wife's face flushed from trying to contain her laughter. "This Chen Zhancai is such a freak! He actually prayed to the Bodhisattva to protect him from being hit by a pie in the sky. Do you think he would be crushed to death if it really fell?"

Lin was amused by her words and gave her a fake look. "I don't know if it will kill me or not, but I do know that there is no free lunch in the world."

"Yes, if you want to get something ready without putting in any effort, that's just daydreaming!" Sun also echoed.

The wealthy wife waved her hand to signal them not to speak for now, "Alright, alright, let's all keep our heads down so he doesn't find out. Let's see what else he wants to say."

Chen Zhancai listened to the discussion behind him and felt dissatisfied. These poor souls who dig for food in the soil were really surprised by what they saw.

Just because you guys can't have such a good thing doesn't mean I, Chen Zhancai, can't do it.

As the saying goes, 'With sincerity, everything is possible'.

'A hundred years of marriage is destined for three lifetimes, a thousand miles of marriage is tied by a thread',

Everything has its destiny. Who knows, there might be a beautiful young lady waiting for him in the distant Ningjing.

Thinking of the beautiful dream he had the night before, he ignored the others' comments and prayed again.

"Gods, I was not thoughtful enough just now, and my wish was too reckless.

As the saying goes, 'No good thing comes easy, and nothing in the world is without difficulty'.

Good things take time. If I can't meet a rich lady, then I'll meet an old lady on the street in Ningjing.

The old lady sprained her ankle, so I carried her home on my back.

But her brain is not working well, and she can't remember where her home is.

There is an old saying that goes, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

I was so kind that I carried her to the inn and ate and slept with her. No, not sleeping with her, but living in the same room.

Worried that the old lady would get lost again, I stayed at home with her all day.

But who knew that this would delay the scientific examination and ruin his future?

But I don’t regret it. After all, fame, wealth and power are all fleeting, and only conscience is real.

Because I did something meaningful, that is, I saved an old lady,

Later, when we ran out of money, the black-hearted shopkeeper kicked me and the old lady out of the inn.

As a last resort, I took the old lady to beg on the streets of Ningjing.

Just as I was putting half of the steamed bun I had begged for into the old lady's mouth, a beautiful woman came up to her, knelt down in front of the old lady and kowtowed.

It turns out that this woman is the old lady's granddaughter.

The woman understood the whole story and was deeply moved. She took me back home.

The old lady's granddaughter treated me like a distinguished guest, and gave me good food and drink.

In order to repay the favor, she even intended to pledge her love to him.

But I, Chen Zhancai, am an upright person. How could I be the kind of person who would betray his trust?

To be honest, I already have two wives at home.

But the angel-like woman didn't care about these things at all, saying that a capable man should have three wives and four concubines.

I could not refuse such a kind offer, so I had to agree to the marriage with reluctance.

It was not until the day of the wedding that he learned that this woman was of extraordinary status. She was the only daughter of the prime minister.

This is really like, "One tries to plant flowers but they don't bloom, but one plants willows by accident and they grow into a shade."

Thus I was able to hold a high office, ride a fine horse, be surrounded by people, and return home in glory..."

Chen Zhancai's unusual remarks stunned the pilgrims around him.

Is this person stupid or just an idiot?

Was he kicked in the head by a donkey, hit by a door, or hit by a fart?

Is he talking in his sleep, or telling a story to the statue?

How shameless and outrageous!

This isn't a wish; it's clearly driving the gods crazy!

Seeing that he was still kneeling on the ground, it was not difficult to endure it for a while, but it was too unreasonable for him to endure it for two incense sticks and still not stop....

The crowd could no longer bear it and expressed their dissatisfaction.

"Are you still not done yet? Hurry up and get up, there are still many people behind you!"

"That's right, you're really slow. If you keep talking for a while, it will be dark."

"That's right. It's true that 'after eating pig liver, one desires pig heart; after getting silver, one desires gold'. One should not be too greedy. One should be content with what one has and be happy forever."

Lin and others were ashamed and buried their heads even lower. If people knew that the person who was kneeling to make a wish knew them, it would be extremely embarrassing.

Chen Zhancai listened to the complaints of the crowd, turned around and glared at them impatiently. He really wanted to refute them, but he felt that it was unnecessary.

Still clasping his hands together, he spoke with a pious look,

"Please bless me, may all my wishes come true, I beg you."

After saying that, he kowtowed three times.

He then stood up, snorted coldly at the people who were glaring at him, and walked out of the hall with his chest held high.

On the way home, Chen Zhancai felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if his wish had come true.

My mind can't help but imagine,

If he passed the imperial examination, what would be the first thing he should do?

Deal with that damn girl Chen Qingqing?

To steal his property and harm his life?

No, this matter needs to be done slowly. We must let them know what regret is, what fear is, and what it means to be worse than death.

I'd better hold a big banquet first and show off in front of others.

Let those who look down on him see that he, Chen Zhancai, has become unattainable.

Then we'll see who dares to ask for a pound of rice or two eggs.

If there is anyone who is blind, punish him right away.

But these people are just dirt-legged peasants with no money to spend. Even if they try their best, they can't squeeze out much urine.

It would be better to gather together the wealthy businessmen and wealthy people first, so that they can make a move at will.

Either gold bars or silver ingots, or antiques, calligraphy and paintings,

This is a considerable income.

Especially that dog-eyed and contemptuous Fan Tong, see how he tries to curry favor with his former father-in-law,

If we don't let him bleed heavily, we would be doing an injustice to his dead daughter.

After dealing with these trivial matters, he gathered together the madams of all the brothels in the town.

From now on, all new customers must be sorted out by him before they can receive customers.

Otherwise, humph, let the brothel close down.

Oh dear, this scene is just like what I saw in my dream.

No matter day or night, he was surrounded by beauties and had endless joy. Having three wives and four concubines was commonplace, and his life was like that of a god.

The more Chen Zhancai thought about it, the happier he felt. The happier he felt, the happier he became, until his mouth was watering with joy...
