Chapter 97 Rich second generation?
Ziyi and Yike continued to dig the cellars in the courtyard and the wing rooms. When the cellars were ready, Yike suggested going to the black market, but Ziyi didn't want to go. First, there was nothing to buy and sell in the black market now; second, he didn't want Yike to take risks, as he was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself if something happened.
"What do you want to buy? Just tell me, and I'll ask Brother Tang to buy it for you."
"I want to make money, lots of money."
"I will make money, and you just need to spend it."
"Can you make money? You don't just rely on selling meat from hunting and herbs from the hot springs? That little money is not enough!"
"Then how much do you want? Is thirty thousand enough?"
"What? You have thirty thousand?"
"Yes! But it's not in my hands. I hid it in a house in the city. I had planned to take it out from there and keep it for you after I left the mountain."
Yi Ke couldn't help but click his tongue after hearing this, "Where did you get so much money? Did you rob?" Haha, it's not easy to earn tens of thousands of yuan in this day and age.
"The money I made on the black market was the money my father left behind when he passed away. I used it as capital to make the money."
"It turns out you are a rich second generation."
"What is rich second generation?"
"It's just that your father is rich and you are the son of a rich man."
"My father is rich. He had several boxes of gold and jewelry that he couldn't take away, so he hid them. We will take them out and leave them for our children when we have a chance in the future. But my father told us not to tell Uncle Hao. After all, it is better not to test human nature. This is what my father told me and my siblings." If Li Haoran heard this, he would be sad. He thought that the box of gold and jewelry given to him by his eldest brother before he escaped was a sign of trust in him. In fact, he trusted him. His son had given everything to him, so a box of gold and jewelry was nothing to him.
"Wow! I didn't expect that the gold and jewelry I had been dreaming about were waiting for me to pick up. I was thinking that I must get some of these things. It turns out that a surprise is waiting here. Ziyi, those things will not be taken by others, right?"
"No, don't worry. That's a place only my father and I know about. When we separated, my father asked me to go there alone to explain it. He said he would not tell anyone else and asked me to use the money to continue our family bloodline." Ziyi said in a low voice.
"They must be fine! You and Uncle Hao can escape, so can they." Yike comforted, not so excited about owning so much gold and jewelry.
"Yike, there happened to be a small pit at that time, and my uncle Hao and I hid in the pit. My father buried us in the pit with dead leaves, so we escaped from those people. Later, I had dreams for a long time. I dreamed that my father was covered in blood..." Ziyi hugged Yike and said sullenly with his head buried in Yike's neck. "It's okay. Dreams are always the opposite of what they thought, so your father must be okay. And didn't you say that someone was protecting them? When the situation gets better, we can ask those who are protecting them and we'll know the situation."
"Yes! You're right. When Uncle Hao and I escaped, we had no plan to live in the mountains. We thought we'd live in a smaller city so we could get some information. But we were almost discovered. We moved to several cities, but we were still being tracked. We were finally forced to hide in the mountains."
"Wait a minute, were you discovered when you were asking for information? Or were you discovered when you were asking for information about your father and found that someone was also asking for information about your father?"
"You mean my dad escaped and they are looking for him?"
"Yes! If they got the news first, it means they are looking for your father just like you. That means your father has escaped, or is hiding like you."
"Yike, that's great! My father escaped. He is such a capable man, as long as he escapes, he will definitely be alive. It's really great. If Uncle Hao knew this news, he would be very happy. Oh! Why didn't we think of it at the beginning? Yike, you are so smart!"
"It's not that you didn't think about it, but you were running for your lives and didn't notice these details. But this raises a question, are they still investigating your family? If they are still investigating, it won't be a good idea for us to live outside. It's too dangerous! We should wait a few more years before coming out."
"In fact, we have been paying attention to it in the past few years. Those who helped our family are still in high positions, but they have not been able to arrest our family members. So Uncle Hao and I dare not show up to ask them about the situation. It is a bit risky to come out this time, but Uncle Hao said that there may not be such an opportunity in the future. Our children must live outside the mountains and cannot be ignorant mountain people. They must read and learn to understand the world. For our children, this risk is worth it."
"What? For the children?" Yi Ke couldn't believe his ears. He decided to move out of the mountains and settle down just for the living environment of his children. If she had known this would be the case, there would have been no need to take the risk of moving out, because she knew that a new era would be coming in ten years at most, and by then the household registration system would not be so strict, so she could settle down there. . It’s a pity that Ziyi and the others don’t know, and Yike has no way to tell them, alas! So worried!
"Why don't you tell me the real reason? It will be many years before we have children. The situation will be better and it won't be too late for us to move out!"
"What if it stays like this forever? We can afford to wait, but the children can't?"
"Impossible. The situation will definitely get better. In ten years at most, the situation will definitely get better. Even if we have children by then, they will only be two or three years old." Yi Ke said with certainty. Haha, she is a time traveler, but she doesn’t even know this most basic social progress, which is really a disgrace to her as a time traveler.
"Why is he only two or three years old?" Ziyi asked puzzledly.
"I'm still young. By the time I grow up, it will be about ten years." Yi Ke answered as a matter of course.
"We agreed to be together at the age of sixteen, which is only two years. We will have a baby at the age of seventeen. After ten years, the child will be six or seven years old and ready to go to primary school." Ziyi gave Yike some scientific knowledge in a serious manner.
"Who said anything about having a baby at seventeen? Who has had a baby at seventeen? Seventeen is not an adult, okay? Who else agreed to you being together at sixteen? And having a baby? Don't touch me until you're twenty. I'll consider having a baby after you're twenty-three." Yike was angry. It seemed that she was not the one who had the baby, but he arranged for a child without discussing it with her. He was really thinking long-term.
"Didn't we agree on this at the beginning?" Ziyi felt a little aggrieved.
"Didn't you say that yourself? Didn't I agree? And you asked me to be your wife as soon as we met. Wasn't it that you were thinking of me giving birth to your baby?" Yi Ke shouted in a low voice in shame and anger.
"No, absolutely not! Let's not talk about having a baby, okay? Let's talk about this later, okay? Don't you want to go to the black market? Can I tell you about the black market?" Ziyi saw that Yike was angry and quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah, how come we got off topic while talking, and it's getting further and further away." Yike thought to himself, but he looked angry and didn't want to talk to Ziyi anymore.
"You know that the place close to us when we come out of our forest is the county town, but you may not know that the place in the other direction from our home in the mountains is the city. Uncle Hao chose this forest to hide in the first place. One reason is that this forest is sparsely populated and is a good place to hide; another reason is that it is convenient to go to the county or the city." Ziyi introduced the various routes in the forest.
It turned out that Li Haoran was attracted by the fact that different directions of the forest here could lead to different counties and cities, making it convenient for them to go to different places every time they came out of the mountains, thus reducing the possibility of being discovered.
Li Haoran and Ziyi have spent most of their time in recent years exploring ways out of the mountain in various directions. They live in the center of the forest, and now they have a secret passage to the surrounding towns and cities. They have made special marks on these passages, so even if they haven't walked through them for a long time, as long as the marks are still there, they can walk out accurately without getting lost.
There was meat, wild vegetables and fruits in the forest, but no rice, noodles, salt and other foods. Li Haoran and Ziyi faced the same problem as Yi Ke did at the beginning, that is, the problem of clothes.
Yike could still make clothes with kudzu vines, but Li Haoran and Ziyi didn't know how, so they had to take the risk of going out to buy clothes.
It was during that trip that they met Wang Guoqing, who wanted to hunt pheasants in the mountains to improve the lives of his children. At that time, Wang Guoqing was bitten by a snake and was about to die. Fortunately, he met Li Haoran and Ziyi. Even more fortunately, Li Haoran had herbs that could cure snake venom.
Wang Guoqing was very grateful to his savior. Because if he died of poisoning, the elderly and children in the family would be left alone.
So when he learned that Li Haoran and Ziyi were mountain people and knew that they did not have letters of introduction when they went to the city to buy things, he took the official seal and stamped several blank letters of introduction without saying a word. This was a huge risk.
Li Haoran immediately stated that he would never use the letter of introduction to do anything illegal or disciplinary, and would not cause trouble for Wang Guoqing. Wang Guoqing also took them to the county town and introduced his cousin's child Tang Guoqing to them, and asked Li Haoran to find Tang Guoqing if he had any problems in the county town.
So Li Haoran and Ziyi temporarily stayed at Tang Guoqing's house. At night, he slept in the same room with Tang Guoqing's younger brother Tang Jianguo, and thus Ziyi got to know Tang Jianguo.
At that time, the Tang family lived in a very difficult situation and could not even eat their fill after only two meals a day.
Li Haoran and Ziyi brought mountain products and prey, and gave half of them to Tang Guoqing's family as lodging fees. Tang Jianguo then took Ziyi to the black market at that time to sell the mountain products.
In fact, it could not be called a black market at that time. It could only be said that it was like a peddler walking around the streets. Those who wanted to sell things would look for buyers everywhere, and those who wanted to buy things would also look for sellers everywhere. Not to mention the high risks, not many things could be sold in a day.
Still, it's a way to make money. From then on, Ziyi often went out to trade things with Tang Jianguo.
At the beginning, in addition to the mountain products that Ziyi brought out, he also gave money to Tang Jianguo to go to the countryside to secretly purchase grain, vegetables and other things, and then brought them back to resell them.
As a result, Tang Jianguo made money and his family life improved, and Tang Jianguo followed Ziyi's lead. It was not until an accident happened that the black market was officially established.
