Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

Time flies by like flowing water, and the golden autumn season has arrived.

No matter they are rich or poor, residents will buy some mooncakes to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on this day.

Nowadays, the varieties of mooncakes are far less numerous than in later generations.

Among them, candied fruits were one of the specialties of the old city at that time and were widely supplied to citizens.

At that time, five-nut mooncakes, red mooncakes, Su-style mooncakes, fruit shredded mooncakes, etc. may not have been developed yet, or they were new mooncake varieties that had not yet been recognized by the public.

Rich people would buy some high-quality mooncakes and pair them with Xinghua Village’s pastries to use in social interactions.

Ordinary people can only buy a few mooncakes and share them among their family. As for gift giving and socializing, it is basically impossible for them.

No matter what level a person is at, he or she needs to reciprocate after receiving a gift from others.

Otherwise, not returning the gift basically means the severance of the relationship.

People may also be criticized by others. Therefore, people do not want others to give gifts because they may not be able to return the gift.

Li Zihang's family prepared hundreds of mooncakes and pastries in advance.

For important people, gifts were given by Li Zihang and the old man respectively.

For unimportant people, their family members would deliver the mooncakes on their behalf. Of course, on this day, the Li family received enough mooncakes to open a mooncake store.

Every year during this festival, the mooncakes, pastries and other gifts received would be given to the old friends of the Li family.

There is still one day left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Li Zihang has been very busy these days.

During this festival, he will personally visit teachers, elders at school, classmates with whom he has a good relationship, or people with potential that he has his eyes on, in order to build closer relationships.

At this moment, Li Zihang was riding a bicycle with several mooncakes hanging on the bicycle like stars.

Once all the mooncakes are delivered, he will feel relieved and can enjoy his leisure time.

The tiger slave who followed closely behind had accompanied Li Zihang in delivering gifts everywhere in the past few days and had almost traveled all over the city.

Sha Zhu looked at the lively scene next door and felt very upset when he thought that there would be no share of Li's mooncakes this year.

Liu Tieniu's wife took the mooncakes sent by the Li family and showed them off in front of Sha Zhu.

This undoubtedly made Sha Zhu's already unbalanced heart even worse.

After Li Zihang had finally delivered the gifts, he suddenly saw black crows in the sky circling above his head like dark clouds, issuing warnings.

Li Zihang quickly stopped the car on the side of the road and blew a clear whistle at the black crows above his head.

After a while, the black crow landed on his shoulder like a sharp arrow.

Black Crow stood on his shoulder, repeating the same words like a tape recorder.

"Come back quickly, it's urgent."

The black crow said this several times before flapping its wings and flying high, disappearing into the sky.

Li Zihang stared at the flying black crows, wondering in his heart what would happen during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Zihang sped up his bike and hurried home.

As soon as he returned to the yard, the family's secret guard explained to Li Zihang what had happened as they walked.

"Master, something happened in Jinmen."

"A few years ago, when you returned to your ancestral land to trace your roots, you passed by Tianjin."

"Among them, the old master will deal with a group of traitors when he returns."

"I didn't expect that one of the people who was dealt with, for some unknown reason, actually recorded in a notebook some shady things that the old master had asked him to do in the past."

"Now, he doesn't know whether to live or die. He actually wants to use this notebook to threaten our family and get what he wants from us."

Li Zihang walked towards the old man's study while listening to the secret guard's words.

Then asked.

"That notebook, recording the shameful things in our family?"

The secret guard shook his head and said.

"It's been so long, I don't really know."

"But old master, you should know."

Having said that, Li Zihang also walked to the old man’s study.

In the study, the old man had been waiting for him for a long time.

Li Zihang waved his hand, signaling the secret guard following him to leave first.

Li Zihang, who was sitting opposite the old man, looked up and asked him with his eyes what the cause of the incident was.

The old man then calmly told the story of what had happened.

"At the beginning, I took you back to your ancestral home to recognize your ancestors. When you came back through Tianjin, I dealt with a group of people there."

"You know those things. One of the people who committed suicide was named Wang Pengfei."

"He recorded all the shady things I had him do in the past."

"Since Wang Pengfei committed suicide, his entire family has also gone to Hong Kong."

"For some unknown reason, his son Wang Haoxuan actually returned to Tianjin with the notebook."

"And use that notebook to threaten our family."

"Originally, these were not a big deal."

"That kid is also a smart man. He knows that if he threatens our family, he might die immediately."

"So he took the notebook and found our family's hostile forces in Tianjin."

"In order to ensure that he would not be killed by the other party to silence him, he gave the other party some unimportant notes as a token of his loyalty."

"Most of the remaining notes were hidden by him."

After saying these things, the old man sighed deeply.

Then he continued.

"Wang Pengfei is a complete villain. He will do anything to achieve his goals."

"Very suitable for handling some shady matters."

"I had been on guard against him, but I didn't expect his son to be so fearless and ignorant of the consequences."

"You can go to Jinmen to handle this matter~"

"No matter what, this is a special period, and we can't let this kind of thing drag us into a quagmire."

"I don't care what means you use, even if the notebook is destroyed, it cannot fall into the hands of the enemy."

Li Zihang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Then asked.

"Grandpa, do you know what is recorded in the notebook?"

Old man, ever since he handed over the family to Li Zihang, he has never hidden anything from him.

The old man smoked a cigarette and recalled for a while before saying.

"I have too many things for Wang Pengfei to deal with."

"I can't think of it all at once."

"But there are a few major events that he will definitely record in that notebook."

"One of the things was that when my family was doing cargo business at the port in Tianjin, we made so much money that people envied us."

"Among them, there are a few powerful people who have set their sights on our family."

"The master at that time sent me to Tianjin to deal with this matter."

"I used coercion, inducement, and alliance to negotiate with some of those people into becoming partners."

"One of the big guys was too greedy and we couldn't come to an agreement no matter what."

"In the end, I had no other choice but to ask Wang Pengfei to bring some people to kidnap his entire family to threaten him."

"Then we used the benefits to negotiate with his backers. In exchange, we allowed that person's backers to invest and get 30% of the profits."

"And that person's backers no longer protect him."

"In the end, Wang Pengfei dealt with it. His family, young and old, had 26 people in total."

The old man sighed helplessly when he said this.

"The law of nature has its cycle, and karma has its retribution."

“Today’s actions will determine tomorrow’s results.”

"Ah~"

"As the saying goes, if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again if the wind blows it away."

Having said that, the old man looked at Li Zihang with suspicion and spoke in a more forceful tone.

"Grandson~ If you decide to do something shameful, remember~"

"Don't be soft-hearted, or the consequences will be yours in the end."

"Once you've done something, don't think about leaving it behind."

"Being a whore and pretending to be a saint is just to comfort yourself."

Li Zihang nodded to show that he understood.

Then the old man went on to talk about a few other things.

"Tianjin was once a foreign concession. In order to protect some people, I sent Wang Pengfei to deliver a few national treasures and a box of gold to a colonel of the invading army stationed in North China."

"This brought peace to several people."

"Although I killed the colonel in the end, the national treasure was transported back to the Little Country by that colonel."

"If someone gets the notes and uses it to attack us, it will have some impact on my family."

"So that notebook must be retrieved."

After hearing all this and the shameful things that happened in his family, Li Zihang said to the old man.

"When do I leave for Tianjin?"

The old man sighed and said.

"Tomorrow was supposed to be a good day for a family reunion, what a pity~"

"The sooner this matter is dealt with, the better."

"You will go to Tianjin in the afternoon."

After listening to this, Li Zihang went out without saying a word and made a phone call.

Start making arrangements for the trip to Tianjin.

After Li Zi finished the call, he immediately got into his own old car.

Start to set off for Tianjin.

Li Zihang sat in the car thinking about his problems.

I can only sigh that this year is really an eventful autumn~

A wave of waves has risen again.

At the beginning of the year, we had just dealt with the assassination of Qiqi.

Then there was the Great Famine, and some people with ulterior motives collectively attacked him.

And all the bad things that Shazhu did.

Before he could catch his breath, news came again from the Old Nine Gates, because (he) wanted to achieve immortality, and had dug up their own secrets.

This matter has not been dealt with yet, and his family was threatened again.

Li Zihang sighed helplessly.
