Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

A conflict is about to begin.

Su Bai subconsciously touched her handbag. In recent months, except when she was working in the backyard of the Kong Mansion and the Li Mansion, she always carried the Browning pocket pistol that Zhou Beiwang gave her.

A few months ago, I carried the gun with me to guard against possible dangers. Gradually, it became a habit. Whenever I left the backyard of Confucius Mansion, I would always bring my handbag with me, and the gun was in the handbag.

Kong Nanwei didn't know that he was the illegitimate son of his mother's extramarital affair, and he still confidently regarded himself as the second young master of the Kong family. Now that the eldest young master was gone, he became the rightful first heir.

The second wife knew the truth about this matter, and the fourth wife also knew it.

Su Bai didn't know whether the remaining fifth concubine, the eldest daughter and the second daughter knew about it.

The Sixth Concubine should have known the truth, because she was discovered by him when she had a stomachache that night when she caught him cheating.

Although the matter was not made clear later, given the Sixth Concubine's intelligence, she must have thought of something.

How to do?

Su Bai hesitated.

The principles that I understand are not in the same world as theirs and are completely incompatible. It is useless to reason with them.

If the fact that the Second Young Master was a bastard was revealed in public, it would undoubtedly be the best way to make him shut up immediately. But, if that happened, what would Third Madam and Guo Deyi do?

Ever since they were caught committing adultery, the Third Wife has always been his own person, not to mention Guo Deyi, who has been devoted to the affairs of the Kong Mansion.

How will the eldest and second young ladies react?

Su Bai believed that they must have heard some rumors about the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master, but if the truth was really announced, it would be a small matter if they could not accept it. The Kong Mansion would definitely be in chaos. If Kong Nanwei did not believe the result and went to find Kong Li to confirm it, would Kong Li take the opportunity to come to the Kong Mansion again to cause trouble?

This scar cannot be opened unless it is absolutely necessary.

Su Bai figured it out. The Second Wife would never reveal the truth. She was just using Kong Nanwei to stir up trouble. Not only would she embarrass Su Bai, but she would also have to find a way to reignite the conflicts that had already been resolved between herself and the concubines.

However, she had calculated wrongly, as the Fourth Wife had already set up her own family, the Third Wife was his own person, the Sixth Wife was his friend, and the Fifth Wife was just a fence-sitter who could not cause much trouble.

While Su Bai was thinking about it, the Second Wife and Kong Nanwei had been chatting back and forth for several rounds.

Su Bai's mind was full of thoughts about what to do next, and he didn't listen to their conversation at all.

"Are you stupid?" Seeing that Su Bai was in a daze, the second wife asked provocatively.

Su Bai came to his senses: "Well, I really didn't hear what you said. Maybe you want money?"

"Didn't you hear what we said? How come you've learned to pretend to be deaf?" The second wife's hideous face appeared again. Su Bai hadn't seen her like this for a long time.

Kong Nanwei took a step forward and came to the table: "Su Bai, don't say that you have done a great job in supporting the Kong family with your business. If you hadn't given your family wealth to my second and third uncles, would you have needed to do business? Selling a store at random would be enough for the Kong family to eat for several months, and it would take more than ten years to sell out!"

Su Bai looked at him silently. Although Kong Nanwei did not have the blood of the Kong family, he was somewhat tainted with the banditry of the Kong family.

Environment creates talents.

Kong Nanwei turned to everyone and said, "Let me ask all the aunts, do you know how much money my second and third uncles can make at the mine and iron factory?"

"How much?" The fifth concubine was the most interested in this and asked first.

"A gold bar!" Kong Nanwei raised his index finger and shook it, then stretched it in front of Su Bai and shook it a few times. Su Bai almost took out his gun.

"You can earn a gold bar in a month? That's really a lot!" The fifth concubine exclaimed.

"One month?" Kong Nanwei said with a twisted mouth: "One gold bar a day!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone made a sound, big or small.

When Kong Nanwei saw that everyone was interested in what he said, he walked around the table proudly, talking as he went.

One gold bar is a bit exaggerated, but the reality is that it is definitely no less than 20 gold bars a month.

He heard from his third brother Kong Nanzhou that his second and third uncles had discovered better quality and larger reserves of mineral deposits deep in the West Mountain and were planning to build a factory in the mountains. This time, it would be a steel plant rather than an iron plant.

Moreover, a road needs to be built to connect the mountain and the foot of the mountain. In the future, what will be pulled out of the mountain will no longer be ore, but steel ingots.

At present, the road has been started, and the steel plant has also selected a site and will start construction within a few days. A substation will also be built at the foot of the mountain to deliver electricity directly into the mountain.

This time, Su Bai was really dumbfounded. The Kong Li project... Although he didn't understand much about it, he knew that this project was extremely large.

It sounds like bragging.

Anyway, I have never heard of building a steel plant and a mine together. Maybe there is?

Am I just ignorant?

After the period of bragging, Kong Nanwei turned his attention to Su Bai: "Now you know how much wealth Su Bai gave to Uncle Two and Uncle Three, right?"

No one else said anything, but the Fifth Aunt looked at Su Bai and asked in a low voice: "Madam, what were you thinking at that time?"

"Aunts, you have all been deceived by her. Su Bai is not a fool!" Kong Nanwei pointed at Su Bai and said, "Speak clearly in front of everyone, how did you divide the profits after you gave the mine to your second uncle?"

Su Bai was dumbfounded again. He was so smart that he didn't even expect that he could find fault here.

Think about it, if you stand in Kong Nanwei's perspective, it is not strange to have such speculation.

An industry that can earn 20 gold bars a month is just given away for free?

Anyone would think that this was a conspiracy with Kong Chen to hide it from the entire Kong family, and in fact Su Bai also had a share in this mine.

"Yes, yes," the Fifth Aunt whispered, "I was wondering how you could make so much money just by selling stinky tofu, cream and torn socks."

"Mom!" The third young lady covered the fifth concubine's mouth angrily.

This made Su Bai very happy that the ladies were all on his side.

"Second brother!" Kong Man finally slammed the table and stood up: "No matter what you say, I still say that Su Bai is my sister-in-law, this family belongs to her, and she provides you with good food and drink because she pities you, don't be so heartless!"

The fifth concubine wanted to stand up, but was held down by the third and fourth ladies.

Kong Nanwei pointed his finger at Kong Man again: "Man Man, do you have the right to speak here? Dad is gone, and your third brother and I should discuss and manage this family. Don't you understand this rule?"

"Second brother, you..."

Su Bai stood up, reached into his bag, held the gun and said to Kong Man: "Man Man, don't call him second brother. He is not your second brother. He is not from the Kong family at all."
