Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan was stunned, then nodded.

He knew that many people were depressed, lying down, and playing badly not because they liked it, but because they could not see hope.

Just like in the 1990s, there were many idlers in every village, and they would get together to play mahjong during the winter. Even though the police station often went to the village to catch gambling, it was still rampant.

It was because the income of farmers was not high at that time, and there were no sufficient, stable, and profitable jobs for migrant workers in the city, so they could only grind their fingers and play cards for fun.

Entering the new century, with the rapid development of the economy, a large number of jobs were created. Not to mention the winter idle season, there are not many idlers in the countryside. Even during the busy farming season, there are not many young people in the village.

So the ancients said it well, "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette, and when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace", which is indeed a wise saying.

…

Afterwards, Eileen Evans took 1,200 gold galleons to Gringotts to exchange for a huge sum of 6,000 pounds.

Gringotts not only exchanged this "huge sum of money", but also attached a certificate of income. This proves that this huge sum of money is the inheritance given by Irene's distant aunt, and the inheritance tax has been paid.

In this way, after Irene returns to the Muggle world, she can use this money freely without worrying about being targeted by the police and the tax bureau.

After all, there is a proverb in Europe that there are two things in life that cannot be avoided, death and taxation. If there is no such a huge sum of money in the Snape family, it will definitely attract the attention of relevant departments.

It can be seen that although Gringotts is in the magical world, it must have a close connection with the Muggle world, so it is so familiar with the operating rules of the Muggle world.

"These goblins are really amazing." Xiang Nan looked at the legal income certificate and couldn't help but sigh.

...

Tobias then took over the bar opened by Old Tom with three thousand pounds.

The bar is called the Old Buddy Bar. It is said that it has a history of more than two hundred years. It has been opened by Old Tom's ancestors and has been passed down to the present.

But unfortunately, old Tom had no sons, only daughters, who had married and moved to other places long ago, so the bar had to be sold.

Tobias used to come to this bar to get drunk, and knew that although this bar was old, it had a stable customer base. The drunkards around would come here to get drunk after receiving relief money. So he thought that taking over this bar would definitely make money.

After taking over the bar, Tobias spent 500 pounds to redecorate the bar, trying to make it more magnificent, and spent another 1,500 pounds to stock up on wine.

The last 1,000 pounds was used as working capital. After all, you can't bet everything on a business, you have to leave yourself a back-up.

In addition to the bar business, Irene Prince also started a potion business.

She herself is also a potion master, like love potion, blood tonic, compound potion, living hell potion, powerful healing potion, and even felicity potion, in fact, she can brew them.

It's just that Tobias always hated magic, so she didn't dare to tinker with potions at home. At most, she taught her son to brew some potions secretly.

Now that Tobias knows that potions can make money, and can make a lot of money, his acceptance of magic has increased a lot, and he no longer minds his wife casting magic at home.

After being able to cast magic freely at home and brew potions, Irene's mood has improved a lot.

After all, she had always been in a state of being disliked, which made her very depressed and sad, and even her magic power showed signs of decline.

Just like Merope Gaunt, she was not a squib, but a very talented witch. But because she was bullied by her father and brother for many years, her magic talent was suppressed, and she couldn't even release a simple magic.

But after her father and brother were arrested and imprisoned, her magic talent quickly recovered, and she even brewed a high-level potion called "love potion", and used it to fascinate the handsome Tom Riddle.

But after Tom Riddle left her, she lost her magic power again, and even survival became a problem. It can be seen that mentality is very important for a wizard.

After becoming the owner of the Old Buddy Bar, Tobias Snape was in high spirits, busy and hardworking. Things like transfer, decoration, and wine, etc., are all things that he is busy with. He is no longer the bastard who used to hold a bottle of wine and curse while watching TV.

In this way, the relationship between the couple has been greatly eased, and the atmosphere at home has become much more harmonious than before. Xiang Nan was relieved.

In fact, Tobias and Irene had feelings for each other back then. It's just that their careers and family conditions have not been smooth in recent years, so there are many conflicts. As the saying goes, "poor couples are sad about everything", this is the truth.

Now, the Snape family's family conditions have improved significantly, and conflicts are naturally less. So as the emotional expert said, 90% of family conflicts are related to money.

Xiang Nan is also very happy to see the two of them reconcile.

...

The Easter holiday will soon end.

On the day of returning to school, Xiang Nan set out early in the morning and first used the Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley and searched the thrift stores for possible magic books.

But unfortunately, he did not succeed this time.

Although there were more old books in the thrift stores, they were basically basic and entertainment books, which were far inferior to the high-end magic books that Xiang Nan wanted.

Of course, Xiang Nan was mentally prepared for this.

High-end magic books are rare even in the magic world. They are not cabbages in the vegetable garden that can be picked at will.

Therefore, Xiang Nan could only choose to leave with regret.

"What are you looking for, kid?" At this moment, a soft voice asked.

Xiang Nan turned around and saw a kind-hearted old lady, wearing an exquisite and gorgeous robe, with a smile on her face, looking kind and amiable.

However, Xiang Nan's sensitive nose smelled a faint smell of blood covering the old man's body.

"Grandma, I'm looking for an old book "The Invisible Book of Invisibility", but I can't find it no matter how hard I look for it." Xiang Nan said with a cute face.

"What a coincidence, grandma has it at home." The old grandma said with a smile, "Why don't you come home with me to get it?"

"Is your home far from here?" Xiang Nan asked.

"You hold my hand and we'll be there in no time." The old lady said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, grandma." Xiang Nan nodded and held the grandma's hand.

The old lady also squeezed Xiang Nan's hand, and then waved her magic wand, and Xiang Nan felt that the surroundings turned dark.

He was squeezed hard from all directions and couldn't breathe at all. His chest seemed to be tightly constricted by several iron hoops. His eyeballs were pushed back into his head, and his eardrums were pressed deep into his skull... as if they were squeezed out of a very narrow rubber tube.

At this time, Xiang Nan opened his eyes and noticed that he was in a dirty, dark and damp cave.
