You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?
Chapter 230: Ten thousand yuan? Isn’t that a lot of money?!
How to relieve worries?Only Dukang.
No matter how Ah Kui persuaded him, Ah Biao felt uncomfortable, so he simply prepared a few hearty dishes and invited Lao Liao and the others to drink together.
Lao Liao, Kong Aichun and the others readily agreed, and Su Chen waved his hand: "I won't join in the fun, everyone, enjoy your food and drinks."
He bought two bottles of wine and delivered them before leaving.
The latest news in Niuwei Village today has shifted from Axiong and his mobile phone, who made a fortune from the old Tan family, to whether it is better to go south or north to work after the New Year.
Over the past few decades, there have been many people from Cuicheng who have gone to Southeast Asia and America. Unfortunately, the few who went out from Liangshan Town have disappeared without a trace. Everyone has stopped doing it, and this is especially true for Niuwei Village.
Axiong's success undoubtedly ignited the desire to get rich in everyone's hearts. At this moment, Old Man Su and Liu Chunhua were discussing whether to let their grandson go north to make money.
"Mom and Dad, isn't Aliang already learning to drive? Why do you still want him to go out to work?"
"It's not Aliang, it's Akun."
Su Chen frowned even more tightly.
"Ah Kun is only fifteen. Let him go out to work? Fourth brother and his wife will definitely not agree."
Old Man Su smiled and said, "Fifteen is a little young. Let's wait for another two years. If you don't find a job, you'll have to go out. Otherwise, look at Aze. He's always going up and down the mountain, and he can't even make a hundred a month."
"That's right. I heard that if you work in the north, you can earn more than a thousand yuan a month. If you save a little, you can bring back 20,000 yuan a year!"
"If A-Kun can work diligently for three or four years, not only will he be able to marry his wife when he comes back, but he'll also be able to build a house for himself."
Su Chen: "You two are really thinking too far ahead."
Old Man Su hesitated and didn't use the previous Su Chen as an example, but changed another one.
"What else? Will I end up like Aze, unable to even raise my child?"
Liu Chunhua nodded repeatedly, saying earnestly, "A tree that is moved will die, but a person who is moved will live. Ah Chen, you don't understand~"
Su Chen: "..."
Okay, I don't understand.
Anyway, dinner doesn’t look like it’s ready yet, so I’ll go and accompany the kids first.
In the room, Honghong and the others were lying on the bed with their little butts sticking up, drawing.
Su Chen leaned over to take a look. It was just a piece of paper. You drew a small piece and I colored a corner. The kids were busy having fun.
Seeing Su Chen coming, Acai happily pulled him to show off the green flowers he had painted.
"Dad, does it look good?"
"Yeah, it looks good. Ah Cai is awesome."
"Dad, my sun..."
"Apeng is nice, the color is well chosen."
"dad……"
Su Chen praised them one by one, and finally touched the head of little Ayun who was still sleeping soundly.
Looking at the children who continued to paint, his eyes deepened.
I hadn't thought much about the layout of the villa before, and I thought I'd just leave it to Boss Zhang, but now...
Su Chen sighed.
There needs to be a special room with a long wooden table, which is large enough for several children to learn painting together. Some reference books need to be bought, and it would be better if the children read more.
And Honghong...
Shouldn't she learn something at this age? Otherwise, given her precociousness, she'll probably spend all her time doing housework.
Su Chen's eyes swept over the children one by one, and he gradually made up his mind.
While we were eating, groups of villagers came to visit.
"Achen is back?"
Liu Chunhua hurriedly got up and took out some peanuts and sunflower seeds from the cupboard to offer them some. Finally, she asked, "Why are you looking for our Ah Chen? There are so many people here."
"Well... isn't it said that your Ah Chen is good at fortune telling, so we thought of doing it for him."
Liu Chunhua was curious: "Who counts? What does it count?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"……what?"
It turned out that after the villagers had a heated discussion about working today, many of them planned to go out after the New Year.
The old people were worried about their children's safety when they went out, and they were also worried about not being able to make money. After going back and discussing it, they decided to find someone to do the math first.
"Hey, if you want to calculate, my Ah Chen is very accurate." Liu Chunhua started to brag about herself.
Old Man Su coughed a few times and reminded: "Achen, fortune-telling is not cheap."
Liu Chunhua reacted: "Yes, yes, yes, our Achen tells a fortune, 20 yuan."
After hearing this, several of the people who came in had darkened faces, and some showed hesitation. Only one person gritted his teeth and said firmly: "20 is 20, I'll count it!"
Liu Chunhua took a closer look and saw that it was Aze's mother, her sister-in-law Tian Caijin.
She immediately laughed: "Sister-in-law Jin, are you determined to let Aze go out after the New Year? Can you take care of the child? Your daughter-in-law is pregnant again!"
Tian Caijin snorted, "How come you can't take care of it? Don't you take care of your five children?"
"I have Honghong to help me. Our Honghong is very well behaved. She can help me wash clothes, cook, wash dishes and take care of her younger siblings. But your Ah Xing is not like that. He is a boy who only knows how to wander around outside all day and makes me worry..."
Her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled as she said this.
It was the first time she heard her grandmother praise her like this.
Tian Caijin rolled her eyes and said, "I know your Honghong is well-behaved and can help, okay?"
She turned to Su Chen with a burning gaze: "Ah Chen, your brother A Ze wants to go to the north to dig coal after the New Year, what do you think..."
Su Chen had already taken out his handkerchief and slowly wiped the corner of his mouth, then smiled at her: "Aunt Jin, give me Brother Aze's horoscope."
"Hey, eh, eh."
Tian Caijin had already held the red paper with the eight characters written on it in her hand. After hearing what he said, she hurriedly handed it over.
Su Chen counted with his fingers, frowned, and then relaxed.
Tian Caijin couldn't wait: "Achen, what do you say?"
“Coal mining is not an option.”
"...Ah?" Tian Caijin's face was filled with disappointment. "Why, why is it not working?"
"Brother Aze is not very accustomed to the climate in the north. If he goes there, he will be sick for half a year at best, or even lose half his life at worst."
This statement caused an uproar among the crowd.
Someone finally came to their senses and clapped their hands: "Yeah, it's so cold in the north! We can't even stand the freezing cold in the mountains, let alone work."
"My little brat isn't in very good health either. Is he having trouble adapting?"
"Acclimatology can be serious or minor. I remember once I went to my sister's place, and I stayed in bed for half a month after returning."
……
Tian Caijin's body trembled, unwilling to give up. She looked at Su Chen hopefully: "Then, then... what about going south?"
This is really poor.
Su Chen shook his head: "Going south will put your life in danger."
Tian Caijin's eyes widened, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away.
Liu Chunhua helped her sit down and comforted her, "Aze is a hardworking kid. Even if he stays at home, he can still earn a hundred yuan a month. It's a bit poor, but as long as the children grow up, everything will be fine, don't you think?"
Tian Caijin said nothing.
No one dared to speak out to provoke her.
After all, going north to dig coal costs half your life, and going south costs your whole life. This means you are destined to not be able to go out to work, and you are destined to be poor!
Su Chen waved his hand: "Mom, who said that Brother Aze is going to stay at home?"
"Didn't you say that?" Liu Chunhua asked in confusion.
Su Chen was helpless: "What I mean is, going north to dig coal is not possible, but going north to do other jobs is still possible."
Tian Caijin seemed to have a last burst of energy and instantly became energetic.
"Aunt Jin, go back and tell Brother Aze that it's time to set off. If the car stops halfway, if he feels unwell, he can stay and not go with the main group. The place where he stays can make money."
Tian Caijin was surprised: "Really?"
Su Chen nodded: "Well, but Aunt Jin, I can't make a lot of money, but it's no problem to bring back tens of thousands of yuan for the New Year."
"Ten thousand or so?!" Tian Caijin's eyes flashed with gold. "Isn't this a lot of money?"
