Chapter 399 Ancient Village Old Lady 24
The Wan brothers have all heard the news about Liuhe Village now, and are discussing in their respective homes whether or not to return to the village.
Wanfujia County
Wanfu sat in the room, tapping his fingers on the table, his eyes full of contemplation.
His eldest son Wanwen was sitting on the other side of the table.
Among the three brothers, Wanfu was the last to discover the changes in Liuhe Village.
Although the county town is not far from the village, the villagers of Liuhe Village are used to going to the town when they want to buy things.
Moreover, the caravans from Liuhe Village would often bring back some good things from other places. If anyone in the village needed something, they would just ask the caravan to buy it for them.
Not only are the items novel, but they are also much cheaper than buying them in shops in towns and counties.
When Wanfu was setting up his stall before, he vaguely heard people talking about Liuhe Village, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking he had heard it wrong.
Or they simply couldn't believe that the village where they had lived since childhood would become a wealthy village known far and wide.
But now the village is no longer hidden, and the caravans from Liuhe Village have begun to sell goods brought back from other cities in the county town.
Handicrafts from Liuhe Village also began to appear in the county town.
The village also opened a shop in the county town, specializing in selling various handicrafts produced in Liuhe Village.
Any unsold goods from the caravan will also be put on sale in the store.
When Wanfu heard that all the new and interesting things that had appeared in the county town recently came from his own village, he actually didn't believe it.
Until I saw that this shop in the county town was managed by people from my village.
He also saw the clan leader and the village head appear in the shop. He went up to greet them, and only after the two of them confirmed it did he have to believe it.
But the clan leader and the village head were unwilling to pay attention to him, which made him very depressed.
He considered himself a very good person and had never offended the two big men in the village. He didn't understand why these two people had such an attitude towards him.
But he couldn't remember it at all, so he could only stop knocking on the table.
"Brother Wen, think carefully about what I did wrong before, which made the clan leader and the village head have opinions about me."
Wanwen didn't care.
"Dad, you're just overthinking it. If you ask me, it must be because the villagers are rich now and can open a shop in the county town, so they look down on us who set up stalls and do small business.
They just arrived in the county town and don't know anything, so why are they so arrogant?
It is not easy to open a shop in the county town. If you don’t know the rules, you will suffer losses sooner or later.
Dad, wait until they get into trouble, then go over and explain the rules here to them.
By then, they will surely be extremely grateful to you and will rush over to curry your favor."
The rules that Wan Wen was talking about were the bullies in the county and the hooligans who collected protection fees.
But Liuhe Village is not really afraid of these.
The caravan from Liuhe Village has encountered some dangers while trading in recent years.
The village has long since hired a martial arts master to teach martial arts to the entire village. Anyone who wants to learn can go and learn.
Now, every villager knows how to do that.
After Wan Wen finished speaking, Wan Fu did not answer. He thought about it carefully for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.
But I still feel that something is fishy.
"It's still not right. I feel like there's something wrong here. No, it looks like we have to go back to the village."
Wan Wen was unwilling to do so. Living in the county town always made him feel that he was superior to the villagers, so he didn't want to go back.
Wanfu continued, "Nowadays, people say that every household in our village makes money by making handicrafts. Your grandmother is also in the village, so doesn't she make money?
If you go back too late, I'm afraid your second uncle and third uncle will have taken the old lady's money away.
You are the eldest son and grandson, so everything your grandmother left behind should be yours."
Wan Wen hesitated, but he didn't quite believe that the old lady could make money.
"She's an old lady, and she couldn't work before we left.
Besides, what skills does she have? If she had any, she would have passed them on to you long ago. I think she might be dying now, and is just waiting for us to go back and take care of her."
Wanfu did not refute his son's statement that he was not a human being at all. As if what Wanwen said made sense, he continued:
"It's not entirely because of this. If we go back to the village and build good relationships with the village caravan, we might not have to work so hard to set up a stall to make money.
I heard that this store in the county town is the first one opened in the village. Later, the clan leader and the village head plan to open a store in every city that the caravan has passed through.
We have experience doing business in the county town. If we go back and try, we might be able to get a job as a shopkeeper."
Wan Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had long had his eyes on Xiao Cui from the tofu shop, but she hadn't been interested in him.
If his father could become the manager of a shop in the capital city, he would also become the son of the manager.
When the time comes, I must come back here and humiliate Xiao Cui.
A tofu seller really thinks he is a rich lady.
Wanfu and his son reached an agreement and decided to go back to the village.
What they didn't know was that their conversation was overheard by Wanchun who was hiding behind the wall.
In recent years, Wanchun has increasingly discovered the hypocrisy of Wanfu's family, and it seems that this family is intentionally or unintentionally guarding against her.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt like she was being watched.
She didn't want to get involved with this family anymore. As she got older, Wanfu looked at her more and more as if he was looking at an object. She suspected that Wanfu wanted to trade her for something good.
This time Wanfu and the others returned to the village, which was a good opportunity for her to escape.
Whether she follows him back to the village or stays in the county town, there is plenty of room for him to escape.
In the town, the brothers Wan Gui and Wan Xi had already packed up their houses and decided to go back to the village to find out the situation.
They also didn't believe the previous rumors.
Until the village was exposed this time, the two brothers sat together to discuss and decided to secretly return to the village to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked onto the street, I met villagers from Liuhe Village.
I originally wanted to get some information out of the villagers, but it turned out that the man did not hide anything and directly said that everyone in Liuhe Village was doing business together now and the whole village had become rich.
The two of them naturally complimented him and wanted to know more information.
But he was too lazy to pay attention to them, and there was a hint of contempt and pity for the two brothers in his eyes.
The two were confused and thought that the villagers looked down on others because they were rich. They didn't associate it with their mother at all.
I have to say that the Wan brothers are worthy of being brothers. When faced with the different treatment from the villagers, all they think of is that they are looked down upon by others because they are rich.
At this moment, both families had met at the town entrance and planned to rent an ox cart together to return to the village.
