Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Senior Brother Wei Tianlai's family lives in Xisan Tiao Hutong inside Fuchengmen, which is also a relatively old hutong. Next door to their house used to live the famous writer Mr. Lu Xun. In 24, Mr. Lu Xun spent yuan to buy a small house in Xisan Tiao Hutong and became a neighbor of the former Wei family.

Over the past few decades, things have changed. Mr. Lu has passed away for a long time, and the house has changed hands several times. Now it is already full of people.

The courtyard where the eldest brother lived had only three main rooms and three south rooms. There was a small wing room on each side, no cross-courtyard. There was a well and a few trees behind the main room. The house was a bit dilapidated. It was the ancestral property left by the Wei family.

Because Wei Tianlai's family has seven people, the street did not arrange for other families to live in. With such living environment, they are considered a middle-class family in the capital.

Qin Dabao had been to his elder brother's house with his master several times before. He first found a deserted place, put away the soybean oil, took out 50 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of white flour, 100 kilograms of cornmeal, and a yellow-haired man, put them in two sacks, put them in the sidecar, and then turned out and drove into the West Third Alley.

As soon as I entered the alley, I found a courtyard door surrounded by a group of people, young and old. As I walked closer, I could hear noises and swearing coming from inside.

"Boss Wei, Wei Tianlai, be honest with yourself. How have I treated you? How have our men treated you? Your wife is sick and dying. You've begged all the neighbors, relatives, friends, and even those fellow apprentices. Did you borrow a penny?"

Isn't it because we felt sorry for your family that we gave you money to save your life?

Tell me, tell me, is this true? Did I say something wrong?

"Sister-in-law, what you said is true. I am very grateful that you can lend me money to save my wife's life. Sister-in-law, Lao Wu, even if you want to take my life, I won't blink an eye. But sister-in-law, you want my daughter to marry your brother, this is absolutely not possible."

"Why not? Boss Wei, let me tell you straight, the reason I lent you the money is to leave you with something to think about, so you can talk to my brother and your daughter about it later. Otherwise, how could I have lent money to this bottomless pit of yours?"

I know, your family just thinks my brother is a fool, right? What's wrong with a fool? These days, a fool can keep you fed and keep you from walking around naked. That's enough, so be content."

"I, I, Lao Wu, say something, is this what you mean?"

"Big Brother, please don't think I, the fifth brother, am harsh. Among these brothers, Master values ​​you the most and loves the sixth brother the most. What about me? I haven't learned much, but I have done a lot of work. I have been serving tea and water in Master's house for two whole years. What have I gained? What have I relied on?"

Now, even if you call yourself a master, you still have to kowtow to him during festivals with a box of snacks. Ugh! What era is this? Still thinking of master and apprentice? This is a feudal remnant and should be criticized. I won't accept it anymore."

"Jiang Jinsong, you, what nonsense are you talking about? What did your master do to you? Didn't your master teach you all your kung fu? You can't be a person without conscience. You can't eat other people's food and not take care of their shit..."

"Wei Tianlai, don't say such harsh words. I won't argue with you about this matter. My wife's meaning is very clear. Either pay the money back or give it to the person. You choose one!"

"Yes, Mr. Wei, I don't have time to waste with you. You borrowed a total of 200 yuan from my family. The 50 yuan you paid back a few days ago was interest. Now you can either pay the money back or let your daughter go with us. It's your choice."

"You, you are going too far! Are you trying to kill our entire family?"

"Don't be so f**king frivolous. I'm telling you straight up, if you don't want to choose one of these two paths, it's okay. I'll give you another path. You have to take the blame for this yard."

"Well, you two have finally revealed your true colors. You are not here to ask for money, nor are you here for my daughter. You are here for my ancestral home, right?"

"So what? You're right, we both came here for this yard. Just be honest, will you give it to me or not?"

Wei Tianlai was squatting on the ground in the yard, and he hadn't said a word yet when he heard a loud shout from outside the crowd at the gate: "No!"

The onlookers all looked back and saw a handsome policeman getting off a sidecar motorcycle, loosening the strap of his hat, holding a sack in one hand, and glancing coldly at the onlookers. The onlookers were scared and pushed to get out of the door.

Qin Dabao walked into the yard carrying a sack. He hadn't seen his senior brother for more than half a year. The tall and handsome man had become a little vicissitudes of life, with white hair on his temples.

Dabao felt so upset that he almost wanted to slap himself twice. Why hadn't he thought of coming to see his elder brother earlier? Could he have helped him? In his previous life, his elder brother had taken his family to Northeast China in 59 and had never been heard from again. After Dabao was reborn in this life, he had always been avoiding the people and events of the past in his heart, intentionally or unintentionally, and he was completely unaware of this.

Dabao put down the sack, stood at attention and saluted, then called out in a trembling voice, "Big Brother."

Wei Tianlai narrowed his eyes, looked at Qin Dabao, and suddenly exclaimed: "Six? Is it Xiaoliu?"

"It's me, Senior Brother."

There was a man and a woman standing next to him. The man was in his twenties and quite handsome. The woman was about the same age as him and also very pretty, but her eyes were a little droopy, which made her look very mean.

This was Master Tong's fifth disciple, Jiang Jinsong, and next to him was his wife, Wang Fang. They were both startled when they saw Qin Dabao: "Is it the sixth disciple?"

This guy still had some shame when doing bad things. It would have been fine if the onlookers were all neighbors, but when a fellow apprentice showed up out of nowhere, Jiang Jinsong felt a little embarrassed.

Qin Dabao glanced at him with a look full of disdain, which made Jiang Jinsong's heart skip a beat.

Wei Tianlai grabbed Dabao and looked him up and down, his eyes moist. He patted Dabao on the shoulder and said with relief: "Good, good. The last time the master came, he said that Xiaoliu had made it big. He became a police officer and even a director. He has grown up and is no longer that little nerd. Are you still crying now?"

The veins on Qin Dabao's forehead bulged: "Stinky senior brother, can you chat? Have you forgotten that you drank too much and vomited all over me two years ago?"

Jiang Jinsong was shocked. What the hell! Is the boss bragging? How old is the sixth brother and he's already the director? The second brother just came back from the battlefield and spent several years before becoming the deputy director. Then he thought: Well, what bad luck, meeting this group of brothers, none of them can help him, it's worse than having no one!

Ever since Dabao came into the world, his wife's eyes have been glued to Dabao, and they are almost blooming.

Jiang Jinsong held his breath and pulled Wang Fang. Wang Fang turned around and stared: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Jinsong immediately lost his temper. Ever since a few years ago, in order to become the deputy director of the workshop, he sent his wife to the bed of the deputy factory director. Since then, he has never raised his head at home.

"Brother, why are you so haggard? Where's my sister-in-law? How's she doing?"

"Alas," Wei Tianlai looked at Dabao and then at Jiang Jinsong. This scene was really embarrassing for him, and he was too embarrassed to let anyone into the house.

"It's spring now, and I'm sick again. I'm lying in the house."

Jiang Jinsong was a little angry. This Lao Liu was too arrogant. He hadn't even looked at him since he entered the door. He took a step forward and tried hard to force a smile.

"Old Six, this guy has become a police officer, so he doesn't recognize me anymore?"

These words sounded sarcastic and made people feel uncomfortable.

Wei Tianlai sighed, looked up and said: "Old Five, can we talk about it later if there is anything?"

Jiang Jinsong was about to nod when Wang Fang pulled him, glared at him fiercely, and turned her head to smile in an instant.

"Hey, this is Xiaoliu, you're so handsome, I'm your fifth sister-in-law..."

Qin Dabao glanced at her coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife, piercing Wang Fang so much that she was speechless...
