"Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that our family owns three of the five gold shops in this county," the girl said with a chuckle.
"After all the selling, it still comes back to our family."
Mr. Bai nodded slightly upon hearing this: "No problem. It's normal to be a little wary, after all, one shouldn't flaunt their wealth."
"No wonder he made that gesture earlier. I didn't understand what it meant at first, but it turns out he was telling you to keep quiet and cover it up for him."
"I wouldn't bring this up for no reason. Since he wants me to keep it a secret, I'll help him," the girl said with a smile.
Having spent so much time with her father, she may not have learned much else, but there is one thing she has kept in mind.
Never meddle in other people's business, especially things that have nothing to do with you; that will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The group quickly returned to the village, and Chen Feng took the piece of angle iron home with him when he got out of the car.
It's not good to leave it in someone else's car forever. I'll go sell it to Mrs. Zhang tomorrow.
As for the steel bar, Chen Feng suddenly decided not to sell it anymore, because it was really handy to use, so he would keep it for self-defense.
Pushing open the door, Liu Ping was waiting for Chen Feng at the dining table. As soon as she looked up, she saw the large angle iron in Chen Feng's hand.
"What is this thing? You found this too?" Liu Ping asked incredulously, looking at the angle iron.
"It's been several days already. I bought it a while ago and it's been sitting in Huang Feiche's car ever since. I've been too lazy to sell it."
"I just got it down today, so I can't keep leaving it on the vehicle. I'll sell it tomorrow; it should fetch ten yuan." Chen Feng put the angle iron at the door, unloaded the equipment, and filled a basin with water to wash his face.
"It looks really nice; it would be a shame to sell it," Liu Ping said, examining the piece of angle iron.
"What else can I do if I don't sell it? It's just taking up space." Chen Feng picked up the soap and rubbed it a few times.
That's just Liu Ping's personality; perhaps the older generation is like that too.
He couldn't bear to sell or throw away anything he saw, even though keeping it was useless. Sometimes Chen Feng would secretly throw things away without Liu Ping noticing, and she would simply forget about it.
He felt he should buy her a book on decluttering so she could change this bad habit.
After washing his face, Chen Feng sat down at the dining table and picked up his chopsticks.
The food was good today: stir-fried garlic shoots with pork and a bowl of boiled pork slices.
"Oh right, I'll place the order in a bit. How about that refrigerator we looked at last time?" Chen Feng remembered and looked up to ask.
"What? You actually bought a refrigerator?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.
"Hey, making a refrigerator in a day is a piece of cake. Today I made nearly six thousand yuan. Even after deducting the gold I dug up from the ground, I still have five thousand left."
"Don't even mention a refrigerator, I could even add a washing machine for you," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"No, no, our washing machine is still working, it's old but still usable." Liu Ping quickly stopped him, afraid that Chen Feng would actually buy a new washing machine.
"Okay, then let's not buy a washing machine for now. We can use what we have for now," Chen Feng said, picking up a piece of food with his chopsticks.
He was just teasing his mother; how could he possibly actually buy a washing machine?
"By the way, Mom, Zheng and his friends are now looking into going to other provinces to seek their fortune. We should hear from them in a few days."
"If it works out, I'll go too," Chen Feng said, taking a bite of rice.
"Go to another province? Why would you go to another province for no reason? Even abandoned mines can't accommodate you anymore?" Liu Ping said, frowning.
After all, in her view, going to other provinces meant being unfamiliar with the place and people, and there was bound to be some unexpected events, so it was much more worry-free than coming home.
Besides, we've already gained enough, so why go out and show off?
"Mom, that's something I can do, but Brother Zheng and the others didn't have this kind of success. You're not treating them all like me, are you?"
"Their harvests have been getting worse lately, and today they almost lost all their loads, even incurring travel expenses."
"If I don't go to another province soon, I'll really have to quit this industry." Chen Feng pursed his lips.
"Oh, their harvest was so poor?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.
To be honest, Liu Ping subconsciously thought that since Chen Feng had achieved so much, others probably wouldn't fare any worse.
Even if it's only 100 or 200 a day, that's still pretty good.
She just hadn't expected that the gap between them and Chen Feng was so huge, it was almost outrageous.
"What do you think? Brother Zheng only mentioned this approach today, saying it's in a remote mine in Qiuling City."
"That's much bigger than ours, and the harvest is much greater."
"It's over a thousand kilometers away," Chen Feng explained to his mother.
"It's so far away, you can't come back in one day."
Liu Ping thought that Chen Feng and his group would still go and return on the same day, just with a longer journey.
But I didn't expect it to be so far; more than a thousand kilometers is no joke.
"I can't come back. The plan is to go there, do some mining for a few days, and then come back. I'll just eat and sleep at the mine."
Chen Feng explained.
"How are we supposed to eat? Isn't that an abandoned mine? Are there restaurants and hotels there?" Liu Ping asked, puzzled.
"No, I just brought enough food when I left and slept in the car. There aren't any hotels or restaurants there. If there were, it would be much simpler." Chen Feng shook his head helplessly.
"My God, how come your business is getting bigger and bigger? You really want to go?" Liu Ping said, frowning.
In her heart, she didn't want Chen Feng to go. She thought it was fine as long as he stayed in the abandoned mine. She was already very satisfied with Chen Feng's current state and achievements.
"We have to go. The harvest there will probably be much greater than here. We can earn three or four thousand a day here, but we can probably earn tens of thousands there."
"Of course, the premise is that it really has to be the same as what Brother Zheng said."
The only variable now is this: none of us have been to Qiuling City, and Zheng Ping has only heard about it from others; nobody knows the specifics.
"Alright, but you'd better be prepared for everything if you're going. Crossing provincial borders is no joke," Liu Ping advised.
"I know, I'm aware of it," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Well, your Aunt Wang is coming tomorrow. Since you're staying home, don't wander around. She'll have to come and see you eventually."
Liu Ping remembered to speak.
"Aunt Wang, what's she doing here?" Chen Feng frowned slightly.
Aunt Wang is a distant relative of Chen Feng's family. She has always lived in the county town. The two families are not far apart but not close either, and they occasionally visit each other.
Chen Feng didn't have a good impression of Aunt Wang. She always liked to take advantage of others. Every time she came, she would take some of Chen Feng's eggs or duck eggs, or some freshly picked vegetables.
Since they were all relatives, Liu Ping felt embarrassed to refuse. Anyway, some of the items weren't very valuable, so it was just a small matter. But Chen Feng didn't think much of her.
"Who knows? She said she wanted to come, and you can't just say no." Liu Ping was also somewhat helpless.
Actually, Aunt Wang is a decent person, but she's too fond of taking advantage of others.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Feng nodded, stood up, and served himself a bowl of rice.
After dinner, Chen Feng went back to his room and placed an order for a refrigerator from his shopping cart.
Dongzi is fast; even if it's just to a village, it can be delivered tomorrow.
