To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Li Fugui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't care about anything else and rushed to see if his son was injured.

Seeing that her son was not hurt at all, she was so scared that she sat down on the ground, wanting to cry but not daring to.

Li Fugui, you silly boy, how dare you do that? They kidnapped us just to ask for some money. If you get beaten, how will your father survive?

Li Wenting, Dad, please stop crying! These guys are obviously not good people. They've kidnapped us and they're not just going to get money. Let's get out of this troubled place first and go home.

Li Fugui, yes, yes, yes, run quickly, or those blood-sucking people in the city will hear us and will definitely skin us alive!

Li Fugui drove the car and rushed home as fast as a flash.

When they got home, Liu Guilan came over and swept the dirt for the father and son with a broom.

Seeing that the father and son looked unwell, he hurriedly asked someone to fetch water for them to wash.

Li Fugui and his father breathed a sigh of relief after sitting in their own main room.

Liu Guilan closed the door, and the father and son told her what happened today. Liu Guilan hugged Li Wenting like crazy and touched him from head to toe. When she saw that her son was not injured, she cursed the bandits.

Li Fugui covered Liu Guilan's mouth with his hand and said, "Old woman, please keep your voice down. This can't be spread out."

Li Wenting reviewed what happened today to Li Fugui and Liu Guilan.

You're being targeted. Think back, has anyone recently tried to acquire our business, or expressed any interest in doing so?

Li Fugui: In the first half of the year, the brother of General Cao's eighth concubine seemed to have sent a message through someone. He has taken a fancy to our irrigated land in Dongpo.

Our family isn't bad either. Our fifth uncle is the director of the Education Bureau, and our eighth uncle's eldest son married Teacher Qiu's sister. Our connections are pretty good.

Li Wenting, you are so confused! It's not the Eighth Concubine who's interested in our land, it's clearly Governor Cao who's interested in our property. If we make money, someone must be secretly passing on information to the Governor to harm us.

Li Fugui, what should we do with Da Xiaole?

Li Wenting walked around a few times and said, "Let's sell the family property." Li Fugui slapped his thigh and said, "This is the family property passed down from our ancestors and cannot be sold."

Li Wenting took out a map from the study, placed it on the table and began to talk about current affairs with Li Fugui.

Ever since the Japanese invaders occupied the Northeast in 31, the Blue Army has been losing ground. The bald boss ordered that in order to resist foreign aggression, the country must be stabilized, and as a result, such a large piece of territory was lost.

The Japanese invaders in Wanping City are eyeing us covetously, and it seems they will attack us in the next two years. Just think about it, if Wanping is lost, how long can our Shandong Province hold out?

I've heard that the Japanese are committing all sorts of atrocities in Northeast China. Schools in the northern provinces teach Japanese language, and even a meal of rice is taken away by the Japanese.

In this situation, we should run away if we can, while the situation hasn't deteriorated to a certain extent and is still quite valuable. Let's throw this hot potato to the Cao family to worry about it.

Li Fugui sat there without saying a word. After thinking for an hour, he slapped his thigh and said, "I'll listen to my son."

Li Fugui sighed again, "But where can we settle down now? We definitely can't stay in Lu Province anymore, this is the Cao family's territory."

Li Fugui pointed at Haishi and said, "Let's settle down in the foreign capital of Shanghai." "Trust me, I can find a job if we go to Shanghai. If the Japanese invaders reach Shanghai, we can settle down in Sichuan and Chongqing. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it's relatively safe."

Li Fugui trusted his son in matters like this. His son had been a good student since childhood, and later achieved top marks in the foreign-style school in the provincial capital. When his father was alive, he loved this grandson the most, bringing him with him to personally teach him and even hiring someone to teach him how to shoot. His son possessed both literary and martial talent, so who else could he listen to if not his son on important matters?

Such a major matter cannot be neglected. If bandits come today, there might be some trouble tomorrow.

Li Fugui and his father discussed with their clansmen and decided to flee if possible, as the situation was truly precarious. As the saying goes, "A gentleman should not stand under a precarious wall." The local wealthy people in the countryside were also having a hard time.

There are so many exorbitant taxes and levies that even those with money in the Li Dynasty have a hard time, so those without money will probably really go bankrupt.

The clan leader took a puff of his water pipe and said, "Yaozu is a good kid. He is the first child in our Li family."

The Twelveth Brother is lucky; one son is worth a whole family. If we want to run, we'll all run. Anfu will take care of the clan tombs, and the clan will give him twenty acres of land. Let's deal with the property first.

The clan leader was in tears, and it was hard to leave his hometown. But his eighth brother had conveyed the same message as Yaozu, saying that they could not stay in Lu for long.

The Cao family is now relying on their power to amass wealth like crazy and has no regard for their dignity.

The Cao family thought they could protect their property with guns, and they had always had a good relationship with the Japanese devils. So, let's sell this hot potato to the Cao family. He didn't want to be a dog for the Japanese devils.

Li Wenting said sinisterly that his uncle Cao's family had little money and was probably working for the Japanese.

After figuring things out, the entire Li family mobilized. All the close relatives were notified, and those who wanted to dispose of the land sought assistance. The twelve clan heads expressed their willingness to follow the clan leader's instructions.

The clan also sent someone to the Cao family to tell them that irrigated land was 41 yuan per acre and dry farmland was 25 yuan per acre. No colorful bills, just yellow croaker.

After a period of extreme haggling between the two parties, the Li family waived the deed tax and the irrigated land was sold at 40 yuan per acre, and the dry land was sold at 23 yuan per acre.

Li Fugui's family sold 5800 mu of land, 3200 mu of irrigated land, for a dollar. They also sold 2,600 mu of dry farmland for another dollar. Li Fugui received 6320 large yellow croakers.

Li Fugui looked depressed. Land is the foundation of a farmer's life. How could these big yellow croakers have a safe and secure land?

Li Fugui also sold his shops and collected 3800 large yellow croakers. He rented the house mainly to pay for the goods.

Li Fugui and his father gave red envelopes to the shopkeepers, had a farewell dinner, and cleaned up their properties in the city.

The family's livestock and other things were also sold to the owner of the new shop, and large livestock such as cows and mules were sold to the Cao family.

A broken house is worth a fortune. Li Fugui couldn't bear to throw anything away and cried with tears in his eyes.

Li Wenting couldn't bear to see his parents so sad. He took out a storage bag and performed a magic trick for Li Fugui and his wife.

Li Fugui and his wife were so embarrassed that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

Li Wenting explained that this was given to me by my grandfather when I was in a daze due to the fever.

Li Fugui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his father, feeling very happy. Yaozu, my son, kowtow to your grandfather quickly, and you, my old woman, should kowtow too.

When your grandfather was alive, he loved you the most. Now that you have so many grandchildren, you haven't given them to him. If you did, it would be up to your grandson. We have always been able to enjoy the good life at home.

When Li Fugui and his wife saw the wonders in this sleeve, they began to take action.

First, he sent all the servants to the front yard to sleep.
