Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 952: Keep Something in Mind

Wang Zhan asked Grandma Sun to sit down, and originally wanted to ask the young man to sit down, but the young man shook his head firmly and stood directly behind Grandma Sun. Wang Zhan didn't know who he was, so he didn't insist.

At this time, Xiao Cui appeared at the right time, holding a tray with a teapot and two covered teacups on it. Xiao Cui carefully placed the teapot on the table, and placed the two covered teacups in front of Wang Zhan and Grandma Sun respectively. Then she turned and left without saying a word, and closed the door after she left.

Wang Zhan then said, "Grandma Sun, don't worry. Master Chen brought a letter. Please read it first and then we can talk."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan took out a prepared letter from his arms and handed it over. Granny Sun knew how to read, and she knew Blind Chen's handwriting, so she began to read it carefully.

Wang Zhan was drinking tea and waiting quietly. After reading it, Granny Sun sighed and said, "Alas, it has finally come to that step. This damn old man is just going to his death."

Wang Zhan looked at Granny Sun and said, "Master's wife, it's good to go there. The family will be reunited. The living environment there is much better than here. Although it's still very chaotic, it's a minority of places. Those are all for the sake of grabbing mines and jade."

Granny Sun still frowned and said, "That is leaving home after all. When you are old, you should return to your roots."

Wang Zhan said, "Master's wife, do you know why the Majia Village is so vigilant? Is there a working group coming in to do some propaganda and to clean up to see if there are any wealthy families?"

"You are a smart one. Yes, this village has been notified. What the working group may not know is that this village is the same as our village. A village is an ethnic group, and a village is a shelter for several ethnic groups. So Sima Wen doesn't want you to know about our village." Grandma Sun said in a low voice.

"When I passed Bayanhot, I felt that this place is different from Sijiu City, but it will have to change sooner or later. This is the trend of the times. So, Master's wife, you should listen to Master Chen. The sooner you go, the better. You know that it is impossible for my master to gain a foothold here now. His choice is right." Wang Zhan also said in a low voice.

Granny Sun looked at Wang Zhan and asked in confusion, "How much did your master take when you went out that time? How much did you leave behind?"

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "Master Wang, oh, it was Taoist Wang and Master Chen who took one third. The people in Sijiu City knew it clearly. As for me, I handed it all in without keeping a single cent."

Granny Sun narrowed her eyes and stared at Wang Zhan, trying to tell whether what he said was true or false. Then she lowered her head in thought. After a cup of tea, Granny Sun whispered, "You are smart and know how to choose, but you are only one person after all. Your master has several tribes behind him. He can't do anything about it. Alas, it's too late to regret."

Wang Zhan said: "I know, so I left them one third, otherwise they would have to beg for a living over there. Oh, no, the master can tell fortunes."

"You little rascal, are you cursing your master? By the way, are you here just to deliver a letter, or do you have something else to do?" asked Granny Sun.

"It's a special letter delivery. After all, it was commissioned by my master. Another reason is to avoid those weird neighbors. It's very annoying to have too many things to do." Wang Zhan said.

"The prince's concubine?" asked Granny Sun.

"Huh?" Wang Zhan looked at Granny Sun in surprise and said, "You mean the deaf old lady? Wasn't she a princess? Oh, how did you know that?"

"She is a princess, and also the prince's concubine. I saw her on the day I was looking for trouble with you, and I recognized her at a glance. She is a ruthless character. During the war, she bet on all three sides and saved many people, both good and bad. If she looks for trouble with you, you have to be careful." Grandma Sun said to Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan thought about it and put the deaf old lady behind him. What's so scary about a remnant of the Qing Dynasty? He is a legitimate family.

Wang Zhan said, "Oh, I won't stay any longer this time. The letter has been delivered. I will return the same way tomorrow. I also need to go to Qingcheng Mountain. My other master, Taoist Wang, has returned. I heard that he is in seclusion in the mountain."

"He is about to break through? Such a great opportunity? Where has he gone?" Granny Sun stood up in surprise.

"Breakthrough? What breakthrough? Why didn't Taoist Wang teach me?" Wang Zhan asked.

"You don't know? By the way, you haven't entered the Taoist sect. Forget it, you will know when you meet Taoist Wang. He has a high seniority in Qingcheng Mountain. It seems that he has had a great opportunity. You only know Blind Chen and underestimate me, your grandmother Sun. My ancestors were imperial guards, otherwise how would I know this deaf old lady? It's just that we have taken the wrong path, otherwise we would not be so passive. Alas, it's all because of greed." said grandmother Sun.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Wang Zhan said, "Come in!"

Xiao Cui pushed the door open and walked in, followed by a young girl. One of them was holding a food box, and the other was holding a tray with bowls and chopsticks on it.

Xiao Cui first smiled at Wang Zhan, then turned around and said, "Mother-in-law, I brought an extra set of bowls and chopsticks. Do you want to eat here?"

Granny Sun nodded and said, "Eat here. I'll have a meal with my old man's apprentice. If you want to eat again, I don't know if there will be another chance."

Xiao Cui and another person put the dishes on the table, and then distributed the bowls and chopsticks. On the other side, Wang Zhan went to the inner room to wake up Wang Li who was resting, and helped her wash her hands before sitting at the table.

During the meal, Wang Zhan also started chatting with Grandma Sun. Only then did Wang Zhan understand why Blind Chen was so short of money and was willing to take the risk to get some US dollars.

They all have their own families behind them. After many years of intermarriage, the families have become intertwined, forming a situation where everyone prospers together and suffers together. Each family still primarily strives for its own interests and negotiates with each other. This would have been a wrong step in the war years. They are just like the deaf old lady, trying to curry favor with both sides.

The world is fair. There are not so many good things. After the civil war started, we had already noticed them and hired people to investigate several of their families. We also instigated the rebellion of several middle-level members of the families, thus exposing them to the sun.

At this moment, people from several families panicked and those who could ran ran away. In fact, their families were the landlord class and they were the main targets of attack. The rest fled to their family’s hometown for refuge, which was Langshan, but it was still not safe, so they sent Blind Chen to take advantage of Qi Dasheng’s search for a master and take a risk, but they did not expect to meet Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan's ability is even better than his master's. It is an extraordinary level. He played Chen the Blind Man like a fool and staged a trick of cutting off the source of funds in Southeast Asia. Originally, Wang Zhan did not intend to leave a penny to those two cheap masters, but in the end, Taoist Wang found Wang Zhan and had a deep talk with him.

Although Wang Zhan was very smart and decisive at that time, his age was there after all. He was soft-hearted and left one-third to the two cheap masters, and returned to China alone with the remaining money he had cheated.
