He looked Han Dongshan up and down, his disdain evident. "It's one thing for a grown man like you to rely on your wife to make a fortune, but now you're even holding onto her family's assets. How can you possibly protect yourself? I'm ashamed for you! I used to respect you, but now it seems your abilities are simply a product of our Han family's ancestral wealth. With the capital to back you up, who wouldn't want to make money? These days, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. You've ripped off everyone in Han Village, and now you throw us a few leftover bones, and we're supposed to be grateful!"
His words did not cause any disturbance among those who came with him.
They had just come in and saw that although the Han family didn't show it, some of them had seen good things. For example, the two rows of sixteen identical pearwood chairs in the hall were not something that ordinary people could afford. Compared to the other large ornaments in the hall.
When they thought that these were all the Han family's property and that they all had a share in it, they felt a pang of heartache in their hearts.
Anyone else would have blushed in anger after hearing such words. But Han Dongshan's expression remained unchanged. He asked calmly, "I truly don't know what the Han family's assets are. After my father-in-law passed away, I gave all the Han family's land to the clan as sacrificial fields. I even paid enough money to buy the ancestral house. Everyone has witnessed this, and even the contract is in the hands of the clan leader. I really don't know where Brother Zuwang heard this from."
Han Zuwang couldn't help but snort, "Isn't the current patriarch of the Han family just a dog in front of you? You told him to go west, why don't you see if he goes east? Moreover, that little bit of land is just a drop in the bucket of our Han family's wealth. You gave it out just to shut us up. How can it compare to the priceless treasures left by our ancestors? As for where we heard it from..."
Han Wangzu curled his lips and sneered, "Last time, when you were selling our great-grandaunt's pair of blood jade bracelets, which were said to be ancient treasures, word leaked out, and someone else who loves treasures came knocking on your door. He's willing to pay three times the price for that shark pearl necklace you're wearing. Do you know what three times the price is? That's three thousand taels of gold!"
Han Zuwang's eyes were red, he was anxious.
Even if Han Dongshan was very cunning, he couldn't help but scold him when he heard this: "Ridiculous!"
He frowned and glanced around at everyone, "How dare you believe such nonsense? Blood jade bracelets, mermaid pearl necklaces, where in the world do such things exist?"
But everyone just stared at him in silence, their eyes showing indifference, jealousy, ferocity... everything except trust.
Han Dongshan couldn't help but shake his head and twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm. He quickly restrained his expression and said seriously, "I haven't seen those things of yours. Since any of you have bought the blood jade bracelet from me, bring them here to confront me!"
Han Zuwang sneered, "That man later realized that I was trying to trick him. I didn't have what he wanted, so he fled overnight for fear of ruining his master's business. Where can I find someone for you? Could it be that someone is deliberately trying to deceive us? What's the benefit for them to deceive us? But you moved to Yanzhou for no reason, so you must have moved there to sell the treasures without us discovering. Unfortunately, people don't predict as well as they think. Someone came here because of your reputation, but they found the wrong place! I happened to be near your ancestral home that day, but that person mistook me for me! Otherwise, we would still be kept in the dark!"
