Unexpectedly, Li Laoer is related to Xu Lai Fu's family. He is actually his great-uncle and is from Haiqing Village.
A few days ago, the father and his two sons from Haiqing Village brought their fellow villagers to cause trouble. Li Laoer and his companions came late because they returned from the sea. Fortunately, they avoided being beaten and could only watch in fear from a distance.
He also recognized Ye Yaodong and his son. It was they who caused his tuna to fall into the sea, and he was still brooding over the stone they had fished out.
It was fine before I met him, I didn’t know which village he was from, but now that I have met him, the things that I had originally forgotten have flashed into my mind again.
He didn't want to go up and get beaten, so he went straight to Xu's house, and asked Xu Lai Fu about Ye Yaodong's family, and by the way instructed him to steal the stone from Ye Yaodong's house.
This nephew of mine usually steals things, so it would be great to give him a dollar and ask him to do it.
After waiting for two or three days, there was still no news. Everyone was busy catching squids at sea recently, and Li Laoer had no time to come to the village.
But when he returned in the evening, he heard from the villagers that a young man in Baisha village had picked up a large piece of ambergris on the beach. It was worth a lot of money, enough to buy a three-wheeled TV. I heard that he was planning to move to the city.
Li Laoer's penis suddenly tightened, and he slapped his thigh, feeling very regretful. He said, "Why do I always feel that the stone is not right? Could it be the legendary ambergris?"
He was so anxious that he didn't even have time to take a shower or eat, nor did he care that it was getting dark. He hurriedly called his wife and four sons to go to Baisha Village.
I don't know who this young man is. Did Xu Laifu get him
But just when he arrived at Baisha Village, he heard a different version. It turned out that the ambergris was fake
He was confused again. How could it be true at one moment and false at the other? Didn't they say they were going to move into the city and buy home appliances
All along the way, all I heard were various voices mocking the Xu family.
"It's really hilarious. Yesterday he was so arrogant saying that everyone would think he was a bad guy. We can't afford the compensation if we sell him."
"Yeah, they couldn't even take a look at it, and they kept it hidden. As a result, someone came to their door this morning and asked them if they were going to sell it. Their family members were as upset as the bottom of a pot."
"Then the kid ran out and said it was a piece of wood ~ Hahaha ~ This is the funniest thing that happened to me this year, a piece of broken wood was mistaken for ambergris ~ Hahaha ~"
"It's just a piece of broken wood, and the whole family hasn't figured it out yet. They've already treated it as a treasure before they've even seen it, and they're shaking their heads."
"Haha, who spread the word about ambergris?"
"I heard it was the shop owner Wang. He was sitting at the door eating sunflower seeds when he started yelling. Then everyone said Lai Fu picked up a piece of ambergris and went home."
"Hahaha~ Lao Wang screwed me over so badly~"
"Maybe they deliberately said it was wood just to deceive everyone. We are not afraid of thieves stealing it, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it. This is a treasure!"
"It's possible. I heard that someone tried to pry open their front door last night. Even the lock was broken. Everything in the main room was turned upside down. Luckily, they heard the noise at night and got up to scare the person away."
"Hey, it's not easy to make money, right?"
"Who said it wasn't?"
“I don’t know whether the ambergris is real or fake.”
"With their behavior, they can't hide it. They will definitely complain after selling it for a lot of money, right?"
"Who knows, the whole family is full of ghosts!"
"Yesterday, someone was still praising Xu Laifu for being a lucky man, saying that he was born with wealth and would have a great future... Oh my god, I was laughing to death..."
…
When they entered the village, all kinds of rumors flooded into the ears of Li Laoer's family.
Because ambergris is indeed rare, the eyes of the whole village are on Xu Lai Fu's family. Today, their family is the topic of conversation for the whole village. People talk about them from morning to night and never get tired of talking about them. It is estimated that they can continue to talk about them for many days unless something new comes up to replace them.
Li Laoer's family looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to tell the truth from the false.
"Let's go to Xu's house first."
As I walked along, I heard a lot of gossip that was gloating over other people's misfortunes.
"It seems like their family relationships are quite bad?"
"They are all a bunch of people who can't stand seeing others doing well..."
"Yes, who wouldn't be envious and jealous when suddenly getting a rare treasure?"
The father and his sons walked and talked, and when they arrived at Xu's house, they found that their doors and windows were closed.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, everyone likes to sit at the door and chat after dinner. Who would go back to the house so early and close the doors and windows
There must be a ghost!
Thinking so, Li Laoer also went to knock on the door.
The neighbors looked at them curiously, whispering, "Could it be that they heard from somewhere that the Xu family had become rich, so they came to ask for a helping hand?"
"It's possible. There seem to be quite a lot of people coming and going today?"
"So that's why the Xu family said that ambergris is fake?"
"Who knows..."
When Li Laoer heard that the neighbors treated them as poor relatives who were begging for money, his face turned black.
He was already in a bad mood after working all day and was hungry. He knocked on the door harder, as if he wanted to knock it down, and shouted loudly for them to open the door.
"Call your soul, which short-lived ghost came to my house after dark and broke my door? I want you to compensate me." Xu's mother shouted angrily.
Throughout the whole day, several waves of distant relatives came and complained about their poverty.
Let them become rich, don’t forget that we are your relatives, give them a helping hand when necessary, help them when necessary, and don’t forget your roots…
She was so angry that her liver ached and she kicked everyone out. Now she heard someone coming to the door, it would be strange if Xu's mother was in a good mood.
If someone dares to come to their house to ask for money, borrow rice or money, their whole family will scold them so badly that even their parents won’t recognize them.
"It's your uncle!"
Xu's mother opened the door with a sour face and glared at them, "When can't you come to my house? It's late at night and no one wants to sleep. You guys are about to break the door."
"How do you talk? Where is Xu Laifu? Call him out. I have something to ask him."
"What are you asking? Just tell me what you want to ask!"
Li Laoer was furious and wanted to go into the house to find Xu Laifu, but she blocked him at the door. He shouted angrily, "Xu Laifu, come out!"
"Xu Laifu, come out..."
"Xu Laifu..."
Xu's mother was furious, "Why are you yelling?"
Everyone else in the room ran out as well, all with unhappy looks on their faces. Old Mrs. Xu also looked at this young man with a long face.
"What are you doing here? Do you want to ask for money and ask our family to help you? You haven't even closed your eyes yet, but you're already dreaming?"
Li Laoer's chest was heaving with anger. Just as he was about to start cursing, he saw Xu Lai Fu limping out of the house.
"Xu Laifu, let me ask you, where did you get that piece of ambergris yesterday?"
"Fuck the ambergris!"
When talking about this, the whole family became angry and Xu's mother even started swearing.
"Uncle, we agreed on one dollar, you can't deny it," Xu Laifu said with a sad face, pointing to the pile of firewood in front of the stove, "The thing you want is there."
Li Laoer rushed in directly and picked up a grayish-white piece of wood from the firewood pile
Yes, it's wood!
The other sides were grayish white, with only a piece cut off at the edge, revealing the brown wood. Li Laoer frowned in disbelief, and saw another white piece cut off in the corner.
He picked up both pieces, one in each hand, and put them together before muttering to himself, "Is it really wood?"
"Dad, could it be that they are a scammer? They deliberately built a fake lake to trick us?"
Li Laoer instantly became alert again after hearing that, it's possible!
Anyone who steals ambergris will never admit it, and certainly won't be willing to hand it over.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy? We are so full that we even made a fake one to trick you? Are you that important?"
Xu's mother looked at their actions in confusion, then looked at her youngest son, "What did you say, one dollar? What did your uncle want?"
Xu Laifu saw that all the family members were looking at him, and he couldn't help but shrink. "I didn't pick this up. I stole it from Ye Yaodong's house. My uncle said that if I stole it, he would give me one dollar. Who knew that this thing was ambergris... Oh, no... It's not ambergris..."
"Ah, Dad, look, he's let the cat out of the bag! It's exposed, what he stole was ambergris..." Li Laoer's eldest son said excitedly.
"No, no, I was wrong. It's not ambergris, it's not ambergris... It's wood... It's wood..."
Li Laoer's eyes lit up and he was excited, "Stop lying, you just said you stole ambergris."
The villagers who had gathered at the doorway and eavesdropped curiously were also in an uproar.
"ah!
! It turns out that I didn’t pick it up at the beach, I stole it!”
"Did Adong's family steal it? Quick, quick, quick... go and inform them... the treasures have been stolen..."
"Fuck... Did the Dong family not know what was stolen? Go tell them..."
"Someone of you should go and inform them..."
Everyone in the Xu family turned around and looked at the villagers in disbelief. They hurriedly explained, "No, it's not ambergris..."
Xu Laifu was also startled by the villagers at the door, "No... No... I didn't steal it from him. I picked it up. What I picked up was really wood, not ambergris... It's really not ambergris..."
"So many people heard it. You said that you stole ambergris, and you also said that you were ordered by your great uncle to steal it..." a villager shouted righteously.
"Everyone, go tell Adong, that's a treasure, don't let it get hurt..."
"He's gone... Xiaoliu has already gone to their house..."
Everyone in the Xu family was trying to explain in a hurry, but no one believed them anymore because the real owner had just admitted it.
Even if Li Lao Er understood that Xu Lai Fu had really stolen the ambergris, he would not dare to yell at him to hand it over, or he would also want a share of it, because so many villagers had heard that it was stolen from Ye Yaodong...
If the villagers hadn't heard about it, he could have gotten a piece of the pie from the Xu family...
Damn, why are the villagers in Baisha Village so gossipy
