Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

After leaving Li's Pharmacy, Wang An drove directly back to the guesthouse.

There was no other way; there was still over 50 yuan in cash at the guesthouse, how could Wang An possibly feel at ease?

Although I was only gone for about an hour and a half, and the Workers' Safety Guesthouse didn't accept anyone other than those from the Workers' Safety System at that time, I could rest assured about my safety.

But for anyone, money will inevitably cause worry and anxiety once it leaves their sight.

Back in the room, Wang An had Mu Xueli and Wang Li pour all the money from yesterday's sales and today's sales onto the floor.

Looking at this huge pile of money, the corners of Wang An's and the other two couldn't help but turn up slightly, all feeling a sense of "How come I'm so rich!"

At that time, the largest denomination of money was 10 yuan, which was a single bill.

A stack of "big unity" coins is 1,000 yuan, and weighs about 2.2 liang (approximately 100 grams).

A bundle of "Da Tuanjie" (a type of currency) is worth 10,000 yuan and weighs about 2.2 jin (approximately 1 kg).

The "bundle" mentioned here refers to 10 stacks of unpaid bills tied together with rope, leaving all sides exposed for easy identification. Finally, the bank will affix seals, steel stamps, and stamps at the points where the ropes intersect and at the knots.

Therefore, as long as the seals and knots are not touched, this bundle of 1000 yuan can usually be used for trading.

Of course, a more suspicious person would tear it open completely and examine each stack and even each bill one by one.

The money that Li Ji Pharmacy and Wang An used for their transactions was all in bundles of ten thousand yuan each, which were withdrawn from the bank.

During the previous transaction, although Wang An did not open and inspect each bundle one by one, he randomly opened a few bundles and checked the rope, seal, stamp, and stamp on each bundle of the large unity bill.

Although Li Ji Pharmacy, given its size and reputation, would normally disdain adulteration or forgery, Wang An, with his suspicious nature, still conducted the inspection in full view of everyone.

As the old saying goes, "money is given face to face," so Wang An was extremely meticulous when checking the authenticity of bundles of money.

Bundles and stacks of ten-yuan notes were casually spread on the ground. Wang An, with a broad smile, said to Mu Xueli and Wang Li:
"Come on, let's split the money first. We've been working hard for almost a year, it's unacceptable if we don't see any money, hehehehe."

For some reason, Wang An loved the feeling of distributing money the most. Watching the money being distributed one bill at a time, in stacks, or even in bundles to each person, the sense of satisfaction and pride was absolutely unparalleled.

After a pause, Wang An took out a small notebook, looked at it, and then said:

“昨天是54万2千1百3十块钱，今天是32万4千5百3十块钱，加一块堆儿就是.”

After a pause, mainly to settle accounts, Wang An then said:
"The total is 866,660 yuan."

Looking at the number, Wang An was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening in surprise as he said:
"Holy crap! This number is actually quite auspicious! It's all 8 and 6."

Wang Li and Mu Xueli were also taken aback, then they burst into laughter along with Wang An.

After laughing, Wang An carried bundles of ten-yuan notes towards the two men, saying:

“Let’s take out all our capital first. You two each took 9, and I took 40.”

As he spoke, Wang An took nine bundles of money from the pile and gave each of the two men nine bundles, then stacked forty bundles in front of himself.

In an instant, more than half of the bundles of ten-yuan notes in the pile of money were gone. But Wang An didn't stop; he continued distributing the money while saying:
“这回分的是那28万，你俩一人8万4，完了我是11万2。”

After dividing the 280,000 yuan, only 6,660 yuan remained in the pile of money.

After a moment's thought, Wang An tossed two more stacks of ten-yuan notes to Mu Xueli and Wang Li respectively, and then added the remaining 2660 yuan to his own pile of money.

At this point, all the money earned from the bear bile, bezoar, musk, and other items collected over the past year had been distributed.

王利和木雪离每人净赚8万6千块钱，王安净赚11万4千6百多块钱。

Immediately afterwards, Wang An took out the money he had just exchanged from the bank and said:

"The money has all been exchanged back, so let's continue dividing it up. Once it's all divided, that's it."

Just as Wang An was about to divide the money, Mu Xueli and Wang Li spoke almost simultaneously:
"Brother-in-law (Fourth Brother), they even gave us an extra hundred yuan the first two days."

Although the three of them were together every day, they were quite clear about how to divide money. No one cared about a few dozen yuan, but if the amount exceeded 1 yuan, they would basically remind each other.

So Wang An didn't mince words and nodded, saying:
"I remember exchanging a total of over 8,100 yuan, so I'll give you each 2330 yuan, okay?"

After dividing the money, the three of them put all the unopened bundles of money and the stacks of money into a separate sack, and put all the loose money into their own pockets.

Including the money they received in Kaiyuan, Wang Li and Mu Xueli each had 196,000 yuan in their sacks, weighing over 40 kilograms each. Wang An's sack was even more extravagant, containing 540,000 yuan, weighing over 120 kilograms.

It's no exaggeration to say that if someone wanted to steal Wang An's money without damaging the sack, even someone with a weaker physique and strength wouldn't be able to do it.

Of course, the money in each of their sacks is basically all the money they have so far.

Looking at their respective sacks, Wang An chuckled and asked Wang Li and Mu Xueli:

"What should we do? Do you two still want to go find Tao Wenjing and Yuan Hongmei?"

Wang Li then said, his voice muffled and strained:
"I've thought about it, but what should I do with all this money? I'm not comfortable leaving it anywhere."

Mu Xueli also looked conflicted. He clearly wanted to chat with Tao Wenjing for a bit before returning to DJ County, because his wife, Li Xiuhong, was pregnant, and he hadn't been intimate with a woman in a long time.

While she may desire women, the safety of her money is of paramount importance, which is why Mu Xueli is so conflicted.

Looking at his two younger brothers' faces, which were full of longing for women, Wang An couldn't help but think of his more than 30 years of abstinence in his previous life, when he was in the fenced area.

Don't even mention that stifling feeling. Saying "a sow is more beautiful than Diao Chan" might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it was definitely extremely unpleasant.

It was precisely because of this that Wang An devoted all his attention to various labor reform jobs, and learned almost every kind of skill that could be used in such work.

There's no way around it; if I don't divert all my energy and attention, the urge to measure the depth of every hole I see in the wall will haunt my mind like a nightmare.

As for the Five Fingers Maiden, she is truly useless. Not only can she not solve any of the root problems, but she will also make people more anxious and uneasy.

So, Wang An thought for a moment and said:
"I remember Han Xiaomin's warehouses are all quite large. How about we drive the car directly into one of her warehouses, lock it up, and then lock the gate too? What do you two think?" (End of Chapter)
