Chapter 47: The Charm of a Wealthy Man

Five hundred taels.

Before today, Big Uncle would never have dared to imagine this.

But now,

he held it in his hands.

"Keep it. I'll have someone invite the best doctor later to heal your leg," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Big Uncle took a deep breath, nodded without saying much, but he had already made a decision in his heart. When he returned, he would bring this silver back as a dowry for his younger sister.

Lin Fan was a big shot, and his younger sister needed a generous dowry.

That was Big Uncle's most sincere thought.

"Sir, about this matter..."

Seeing all his hard-earned wealth being taken away, Liu Hong naturally felt heartbroken, but now he was more concerned about whether the trouble he caused would be forgiven.

As long as one is alive,

money can still be earned in the future.

But if one is gone, no amount of wealth would have any meaning.

"Take your people and get lost. And as for the conditions we discussed earlier, don't make me handle it myself," Lin Fan glanced at the other party and waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.

This was an extremely contemptuous gesture.

But Liu Hong didn't feel any anger. Instead, his tense body relaxed, and he smiled.

It's good to be alive...

As for the conditions agreed upon earlier,

Liu Hong looked at Li Li fiercely and assured Lin Fan, "Sir, rest assured, from today onwards, this world will no longer have this person!"

Although this matter was considered resolved,

he paid a great price for it.

Not only did he lose face, but all the money he had accumulated over the years also vanished.

The person who caused all this,

it could be said to be a deep-seated grudge!

"Liu Lang..."

Li Li's sister spoke anxiously, but before she could finish, Liu Hong, who had finally been forgiven and could stand up, rushed forward and slapped her hard on the face.

"Shut up! You wretched servant!"

Liu Hong was afraid that the other party would speak again and displease Lin Fan, so he forcefully interrupted her.

Li Li's sister was completely dumbfounded.

She didn't expect that the person who had loved her so much before would now become like this.

Instead of comforting her when she was in distress, he slapped her hard.

And all of this,

was because of her younger brother, who had offended someone he shouldn't have.

"You troublemaker!"

Thinking that she had finally managed to live a good life, only to have it destroyed, she couldn't hold back anymore and raised her hand to fiercely slap the unconscious Li Li.

No more pity for someone who had been cherished since childhood.

This change was truly dramatic.

Li Li was abruptly awakened by the slaps. When he saw that it was his sister, who loved him, and she was slapping him like an enemy with red eyes, he was instantly dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Wasn't his sister the one who loved him the most? Shouldn't she be standing up for him now?

Why was she slapping his enemy, who was still standing there watching the show, while he was the one being slapped?

And what about his brother-in-law, the big shot who stood up for him? Why was he looking at him so fiercely, with an extremely dangerous glint in his eyes? What did it mean?

What's going on here?

Li Li was completely dumbfounded.

He didn't understand what had happened during the time he was unconscious.

And what he didn't know was that his tragic fate had just begun.

But Lin Fan wasn't interested in any of this. He waved his hand again, and Liu Hong obediently tidied up the mess and left with his subordinates as quickly as possible.

After leaving the village,

Liu Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that he had escaped a disaster.

This was already the second time, which made him feel deeply that he was truly blessed.

Repeatedly,

He was able to turn danger into safety.

But he didn't know that from the moment he entered the village, he was being watched by a pair of eyes.

When he was relieved to have escaped a disaster, the owner of those eyes quickly left the village.

The light and graceful movement, one could tell it was not an ordinary character.

Regarding this point,

Lin Fan was unaware, as he was currently dealing with a group of thin and skinny men wielding various farming tools.

These men were none other than the young men from the village that the village chief had called for on the road.

However, by the time they arrived, Liu Hong had already fled with his men, so they came up empty-handed.

"Thank you all for your help."

Although they came up empty-handed, Lin Fan still received their goodwill and thanked everyone.

"No need to be polite. Since you are the son-in-law of our Su family village, we will definitely not stand by and watch you being bullied!"

Erhu, as his name suggested, was a sturdy man. He patted his well-built chest and said.

His words were rough.

But they sounded comforting.

Lin Fan glanced at him and smiled, nodding his head. "Since that's the case, I won't be polite. However, as the son-in-law visiting for the first time, it wouldn't be right to come empty-handed. Let's have a drink."

"Drinks?"

Erhu swallowed his saliva at the mention of drinks.

In this era, alcohol was not an ordinary thing, especially in poor mountain villages. It could be considered a rare luxury, as alcohol required grains to be brewed.

But now, even having enough food to eat was difficult, let alone using grains to make alcohol. It was something they didn't dare to think about.

Except during the New Year,

There might be a chance to taste a sip.

But the numbing sensation of alcohol could temporarily make people forget their hardships. It was comparable to spiritual sustenance, and many people who had tasted alcohol loved this kind of spiritual sustenance.

Erhu was one of them, but he had never had the opportunity and could only endure.

Now, hearing that Lin Fan wanted to treat them to drinks, how could he remain calm?

Not only him, but most of the men who had come over subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Clearly, they liked drinking.

And it wasn't just one or two people who enjoyed it.

"Do you doubt me?"

Lin Fan pretended to be displeased, looking at everyone's reaction and found it amusing, so he instinctively teased.

"Of course we believe you!"

Erhu quickly shook his head.

Although he didn't see the scene of Liu Hong begging for mercy, he could tell that Lin Fan, who was riding in a luxurious carriage, had an extraordinary aura. At a glance, he could tell that he was not an ordinary person.

Let alone treating them to drinks,

Even if he were to host a feast and let everyone eat and drink to their heart's content, he wouldn't find it strange.

"Uncle Village Chief, I'll trouble you with this matter. Arrange for someone to find a way to purchase some alcohol, and also, buy some poultry and livestock from the villagers to cook dishes for everyone."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded at Erhu, then handed a silver ingot to the village chief beside him.

This silver ingot wasn't much.

It was about fifty taels.

But when the village chief felt its weight, his eyes widened.

He was giving fifty taels just like that. Did he plan to buy all the poultry and livestock in the entire village?

This wasn't just treating to drinks.

This was planning a grand feast!

In reality, that was exactly what Lin Fan intended. He wanted to host a feast and invite the entire Su family village.

His wife was so virtuous and obedient, so naturally, he wouldn't let her first visit to her parents' home be a casual affair.

He wanted to make his wife shine and bring honor to her family.

As for the expenses,

He could easily forge a sword.

But this casual expense shocked the entire Su family village. It was a rare event that happened once in a hundred years.

"Husband, thank you."

Su Xiaoxiao understood her husband's good intentions, and her gaze towards Lin Fan was filled with gratitude.

Lin Fan had no doubt.

If he wanted, the other party would definitely be willing to give birth to a bunch of monkeys for him.

A man with money.

Truly full of charm!
