Chapter 4 The Ungrateful Man Who Sold His Sisters to Escape the Mountains

Ji Huaizhi didn't speak at first, but after seeing everyone shoving Jiang Fulin, he said, "Alright, what's the use of blaming him?"

"It's not like he cheated out of the money, and I guess he just suspects it, but doesn't know if it's true."

"Our main task now is to figure out how to safely get the money we gave out back."

Everyone looked indignant, and Jiang Fulin's expression was very unpleasant.

Ji Huaizhi smacked a man on the head: "What's all this commotion? Is this the time to talk about these things?"

"Fang Youliang, stop looking at me like that. Our enemy now is those people outside!"

Everyone looked at Ji Huaizhi; for just a moment, everyone was willing to listen to him.

“We'll pretend we don't know anything about it...we'll do this…”

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard Ji Huaizhi's method: "Jiwa, you're really clever! We didn't expect you to be so smart. How come you're the one who gets fooled the most?"

Jiang Fulin nodded: "I think it's feasible."

Ji Huaizhi: "From now on, call me brother. If it weren't for me, you would still be in the dark."

"Okay, bro."

Wang Facai was displeased when he heard that the young people had started to voice their opinions these past few days, and fearing that they might cause trouble, he gathered a few people to go with him.

Judging by the time, the money from Ji Huaizhi's family should have been sent over by now.

Wang Facai brought over a few packs of cigarettes and some cheap snacks.

"What are you all doing? We're about to split the money, don't cause any trouble, you know?"

"Brother, they're so annoying, they play cards in the house all day long, it's so noisy," Fang Youliang said with disdain. "We've been here for so long, when are we going to start making money?"

"We're about to split the profits, so when do you think we'll make money?" Wang Facai said as if it were a real deal.

"This is a perk our boss gave us. These are really good things in Guangzhou, you know?" Wang Facai said, showing them the things he had brought.

Seeing their expressions, Wang Facai said again, "Huaizhi, you've invested the most among these brothers. The boss praised you highly and wants to give you shares. Now, the money you invested has already doubled, you know?"

Ji Huaizhi feigned surprise: "Really? I invested over five thousand in total, so now it's over ten thousand?"

Wang Facai nodded: "Of course, when will the money your family said they would send arrive?"

Ji Huaizhi thought for a moment and said, "It should be soon, in the next couple of days. It's a good thing to have made so much money. Brother Facai, lend me some money first, and I'll treat the brothers to a drink."

Wang Facai was initially unwilling, yet he still lent him money?

All your money is mine.

How could I possibly be willing to lend them money?

Jiang Fulin stepped forward: "Ji Huaizhi really made so much? I only invested less than five hundred yuan, so I don't even have a thousand yuan?"

Wang Facai was displeased: "Otherwise what?"

This poor guy kept insisting that his family had no money, and he couldn't scam anyone out of even a little bit more.

"No way! It's really possible to make this much money? I want to keep investing!" Jiang Fulin said excitedly, "Brother Fortune, can I still invest now?"

“I really didn’t dare before, but now that Ji Huaizhi has earned so much, if you give me another chance, I’ll have my family send me money.”

Wang Facai paused for a moment, then couldn't help but smile: "Really?"

"Yes, yes, I'll have my family send money over too!"

"I'll keep voting too."

Wang Facai never expected that he could earn more money because of one sentence he uttered: "Listen to me, everyone, listen to me!"

“Normally it shouldn’t be allowed, but considering that you’re from the same place as Ji Huaizhi, I’ll let you continue to vote.”

"But you'd better cast more this time, otherwise you probably won't be able to do it next time!"

Wang Facai was pleased to see them like this: "Then you can call home and ask for money in a little while. Look, Ji Huaizhi is now a ten-thousand-yuan household!"

Ji Huaizhi raised his chin: "I trust you, Brother Fortune!"

"Call home tomorrow. Didn't we say we'd drink together tonight?" Jiang Fulin said. "Brother Facai will be there, along with a few other brothers."

"We should definitely celebrate!"

At this point, Wang Facai and his group didn't care anymore: "Alright, let's have a good drink today and make money together!"

I asked someone to go out and buy some cold dishes, roast pork, and roast goose.

A group of people drank quite a bit inside the house.

Ji Huaizhi was about to toast Fa Cai when he accidentally spilled the medicine in his hand into Fa Cai's drink. He said, "Brother, I consider you my own brother."

"You've helped me make so much money, I'll work for you from now on."

"From now on, Wang Facai will be my brother!"

"drink!"

"Drink it all!"

Ji Huaizhi watched him drink the wine and slightly curled the corners of his lips.

The other six people were also drinking.

Everyone thought they were just a bunch of country bumpkins, stupid and clueless, so they were caught off guard and got drunk.

When they had all fallen, Ji Huaizhi stood up: "Tie them all up!"

Fang Youliang stood up unsteadily: "Okay!"

Unexpectedly, he tripped and fell the next second.

Ji Huaizhi said with disdain, "Didn't I say the main purpose was to get them drunk? Why are you all drinking so much?"

"hey-hey."

Ji Huaizhi: "Tie them all up tightly. Four of you stay here and watch over them, and gag them completely. The other two will come with me."

One of them said, "You'll be back, won't you?"

"Brother Ji, you said you knew where they put the money, you didn't run off with it, did you?" the man who stayed behind asked, still worried.

That expression clearly showed distrust.

The man's name was Daqun. Ji Huaizhi didn't hold back and kicked him directly: "Are you trying to cause me trouble?"

"We agreed on this yesterday, and now you're pulling this stunt. Do you even want your money back?" Ji Huaizhi said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, except for the drunk Fang Youliang.

Seeing the fear on the other three's faces, he said, "Let me tell you, if it weren't for me, you would still be in the dark!"

"All you can do is trust me. I got the money back for you out of loyalty. I'm an honest person! If you hadn't found it, you should have asked these people lying on the ground."

"Don't act like I'd even look at a few of you worthless people."

Ji Huaizhi's gaze was sharp, and his expression was somewhat fierce: "These past few nights I've been risking my life to go out and follow them, and now you're starting to doubt me?"

"Why did you remain silent when we needed to go out and gather information?"

Ji Huaizhi glanced at them, and no one dared to speak.

He was telling the truth; the method was Ji Huai's idea.

He was the one who went to find out the information.

"Jiwa, I'm sorry, I'm just scared!" Daqun was on the verge of collapse: "We all came from the same place, we should stick together."

"Nobody's as good as you..."

Ji Huaizhi said impatiently, "Shut up!"

Jiang Fulin: "Stop talking. You shouldn't doubt Ji Huaizhi. He knows where the money is. He can easily take his money back and run away."

No one dared to say anything more, and they watched the three of them leave.

I just hope they can come back with the money soon.
