Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

"Naturally, many people have undiscovered treasures hidden in their homes, which they occasionally take out to sell. If you're lucky, you can find a big bargain with a few copper coins, and you can make a fortune by reselling them." Fang Dayong explained patiently.

Xu Guishan heard this, and a hint of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes. He licked his dry lips and said in a low and urgent voice: "Then Lao Fang, can you take me to get involved in this business?"

Fang Dayong shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, this business depends entirely on luck, even I dare not guarantee it.

Besides, your family is not wealthy, so how can you afford to invest in such a risky business?"

However, Xu Guishan had been dazzled by the dream of wealth. He grasped Fang Dayong's sleeve tightly, his eyes full of desperate desire: "I really have money, believe me! Wait tonight, I will come to you with money to go treasure hunting together!"

Before leaving, he glared at Xu's mother fiercely, his eyes filled with greed and determination.

In the end, Fang Dayong did not immediately agree to Xu Guishan's request, but agreed to discuss it again tomorrow. As for the so-called "discuss it again tomorrow", it actually depends on whether Xu Guishan can really show sincerity.

The entry threshold is at least ten taels of silver, and only then can one go to the mysterious ghost market to explore the mysteries of antiques.

Behind all this, Fang Dayong has his own plans in mind, and everything depends on Xu Guishan's actual actions and financial proof.

Xu Guishan, a man with an immense desire for gold, silver and treasures, usually takes pleasure in amassing wealth. When he hears the word "treasure", it seems as if stars are twinkling in his eyes, and his whole body instantly becomes energetic, and even his breathing becomes rapid.

Fang Dayong saw this clearly and threw out a few baits. Xu Guishan was like a puppet tied by a string, obeying his orders. He had infinite fantasies about the legendary ghost market full of rare treasures, as if he could see countless gold and silver treasures waving to him.

The two chatted for a while under the old willow tree at the entrance of the village. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, adding a bit of mystery to this conspiracy.

Finally, Fang Dayong patted Xu Guishan's shoulder with satisfaction, then strode away, and his figure quickly disappeared on the winding path leading to the county town.

He walked very quickly, as if he was afraid that if he delayed for a second, the wealth he had planned would be gone.

The county town is bustling with activity. Hidden among the dimly lit streets is an inconspicuous courtyard with its door half-open, letting in faint light.

Fang Dayong navigated the winding and narrow alleys with ease and finally arrived at his destination.

The house was filled with smoke, and various people were sitting or standing, creating a solemn atmosphere.

A bearded man, as rugged as a hunter, was the first to notice the dusty Fang Dayong. He couldn't wait to ask him questions, with a hint of urgency and curiosity in his voice.

Fang Dayong had a meaningful smile on his face. He first sipped his tea leisurely. The tea swirled in his throat, taking away the fatigue of the journey. Then he slowly opened his mouth and vividly described to everyone how he had set a trap today by taking advantage of Xu Guishan's greed, as well as Xu Guishan's innocent yet eager look.

Everyone listened with great interest and burst into laughter from time to time, mocking Xu Guishan's stupidity for not noticing such a simple trap.

When it was mentioned that Xu Guishan would bring ten taels of silver as a joining fee tomorrow, Fang Dayong was even more enthusiastic. He put one foot on the stool with an ostentatious posture and a cunning light in his eyes, as if he had already seen the heavy silver piled up in front of him.

In response to his accomplices' concerns, Fang Dayong waved his hands confidently. He knew the situation of the Xu family very well. His confidence came not only from his understanding of Xu Guishan's character, but also from his insight into human greed.

In his opinion, for the sake of money, Xu Guishan would do anything, even if it meant borrowing from friends and relatives or stealing, he would get the ten taels of silver.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became lively again. Greed and excitement flashed in everyone's eyes, and they began to plan their own methods, how to make Xu Guishan, the "sucker", willingly pay the money without making him feel cheated.

They were all thinking about how to divide this ill-gotten wealth, and each fantasized about the wonderful life they would have after getting the money.

At this time, although Xu Guishan had a small spark of hope in his heart because of the "money-making opportunity" provided by Fang Dayong, whenever he thought of the thousands of taels of silver that might be lost due to a wrong decision, his chest felt as if it was pressed by a huge rock, and the pain was unbearable.

In the dim candlelight, he picked up the fragments numbly, his eyes were empty, and every movement seemed so mechanical.

Deep down in his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that a miracle would happen so that the jar could be given a new life and sold for some value to make up for the huge loss.

When Xu's mother saw this scene, her heart was filled with regret and heartache.

Her unintentional mistake put the family into an unprecedented predicament. She wanted to help but was coldly pushed away by her son. At that moment, grievance and anger intertwined in her heart.

In her opinion, if Xu Guishan himself had not failed to keep the money properly, how could it have ended up like this?

But as a mother, she could not blame her son too deeply. She just silently calculated the loss in her heart and was a little stricter with Xu Guishan, hoping that he could learn a lesson.

When night fell, Xu Guishan was walking home with a heavy basket full of broken tiles on his back, and he met Jiang Xiaowu, a notorious lazy man in the village.

Jiang Xiaowu has an extremely ordinary appearance, a pair of small eyes as cunning as a mouse, and is often looked down upon by others.

However, on this lonely and difficult night, two men who are equally marginalized by life may be able to find a glimmer of resonance, even if it is only temporary comfort.

"Brother Guishan, who are those people who hurriedly left your spacious and imposing house a few days ago? Why did they choose to visit your house during the Chinese New Year when firecrackers are ringing and families are reunited?" Jiang Xiaowu's eyes widened, his curiosity evident, as if he was eager to dig out some rare new things in this small village.

Xu Guishan's emotions were like the surface of a lake disturbed by the cold winter wind, with waves rising and falling. He seemed a little impatient with Jiang Xiaowu's abrupt question.

"They are just distant relatives. My brother-in-law and his family came from Zhangjia Village. What's the big deal?"

There was a hint of perfunctoriness and displeasure in his words, and he was obviously unwilling to talk more.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else, I just thought it was new. Their family didn't dress like the villagers in our Wuli Village, I thought they were from some big city!"

Jiang Xiaowu said with an apologetic smile, a bit of cunning on his face, but he had already made a plan in his mind.

Xu Guishan's brows were twisted into a knot, and he seemed to have lost the last bit of patience on this topic, and he hurriedly ended the conversation.

"It's normal that you haven't seen them. They seldom come here, and it's rare for them to get together every few years. Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
