The Master Goes Down The Mountain: I Am Not A Son-In-Law

When Li Muchen first came to Hecheng, he had no place to live, so he stayed at Ma Shan's house at night.

It is said to be a home, but it is actually a basement, more than ten square meters, damp and stuffy, and the whole room smells musty.

"Brother Shan, don't you do well in bars? Why don't you live in a better place?" Li Muchen asked.

Ma Shan said: "Eat with one mouth, sleep with one bed, why live so easily? I'm okay in the bar. Sister Na has treated me well these years, and my salary has not been less than one penny. But I can't survive. Money, with many friends and friends, the wages will be eaten up in a few meals."

Li Muchen knew that Ma Shan could mess around, and felt that it didn't matter to the gentlemen, but he felt sorry for Ding Xiang.

Ding Xiang lives next door to Ma Shan, the same room, but with an extra ventilation window, it is a little drier, and Ding Xiang is diligent and tidy, and there is a fragrance in the room.

It was only when Li Muchen found out that Ding Xiang's parents had passed away.

When they were young, they were all in the same courtyard. Ding Xiang's parents took good care of them, treating him and Ma Shan as their own children.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, all three of them became orphans.

"Does Lilac have enough money to go to college?" Li Muchen asked.

Ma Shan said: "I have saved 10,000 yuan, and Ding Xiang can earn some by working part-time. It should be enough."

"Didn't you just say you couldn't save money?"

"Isn't it for Lilac? I wanted to save 50,000, so that the girl can go to school with peace of mind and doesn't have to work. Sigh, I'm also to blame. If I can't control it, I should chop off my hand!"

Ma Shan scolded himself bitterly.

Li Muchen thought for a while and asked, "How much does it cost to buy a house near here?"

"It depends on how big it is, more than 10,000 yuan, you can figure it out yourself." Ma Shan said, "Why, do you want to buy a house?"

Li Muchen said: "Yes, I want to buy a house, the three of us will live together, and we will not be separated in the future."

Ma Shan got up from the bed, "Are you rich?"

Li Muchen shook his head: "No."

Ma Shan laughed and said: "What a fart without you! The three of us live together, even if we live in one room, we have to give Ding Xiang a room. That is a two-bedroom house, and at least it costs seven or eight hundred thousand. If Three bedrooms, that’s more than one million. You want to fart!”

Li Muchen asked: "Is there any way to make quick money?"

Ma Shan thought for a while and said: "If you don't break the law, you can gamble with stones and fight with black fists..."

Suddenly he looked at Li Muchen, his eyes sparkled, "Yes, you are so good at punching, you can definitely win in boxing."

"How much money does boxing make?"

"All I know are small games. If you win a game, you can earn tens of thousands. I heard that there are such big games, where a game can cost hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands."

Li Muchen shook his head, it's only tens of thousands a fight, it's boring to be a boxer in public.

"What is gambling stone?"

"Gambling on stones is to bet on whether there is jade in a stone. If you don't cut the stone, no one knows what's inside. If you cut it down with a knife, it will be green and shiny, and you will be prosperous. If you find good materials, you can earn hundreds of dollars per stone." Tens of thousands are not without it." Ma Shan explained.

Li Muchen felt that this was okay, so he said, "Then let's gamble on stones."

Ma Shan said: "Gambling with stones requires capital, where can we get capital?"

Li Muchen said: "Don't you have ten thousand?"

"That's money for Ding Xiang to go to college!" Ma Shan roared, "Don't worry about it, kid."

"Don't worry, I have learned jade from my master on the mountain. I will never let you lose my money if I don't see a rabbit."

Ma Shan was a little hesitant. After thinking for a long time, he finally chose to trust his brother, "Okay, I'll trust you just once. At worst, I'll eat pickles every day and save the money for Lilac. I'll go find out about the stone gambling venue tomorrow."

Li Muchen nodded, then suddenly asked, "How about dog fighting?"

Ma Shan was taken aback, and said: "Of course dog fighting can bring you quick money, it's just gambling. But the dog farms are all dark, and if you don't know them well, you will be slaughtered if you go there. Why do you ask this?"

Li Muchen said: "There is a dilapidated factory building next to the overpass in the south of the city. It is said that it is a dog farm. You know a lot of people, so go find someone to ask."

Ma Shan didn't know where the news about Li Muchen came from, so he didn't ask any further questions, and said, "Okay, I'll go and find out."

The two chatted for a while about the details. Ma Shan has been in the society all year round, so he has some understanding of these trades. Through Ma Shan's introduction, Li Muchen gradually gained a solid foundation.

Early the next morning, Ding Xiang came over and woke them up.

After breakfast, Ma Shan left, saying that he was going to inquire about the news. In addition, he had to go to the bar. After all, there was such a big commotion yesterday and it hurt people. Although Uncle Ming must have settled the matter, But Ma Shan felt that he still had to give Zhou Na an explanation.

Ding Xiang took Li Muchen to the restaurant where she worked part-time.

"Brother Muchen, I have agreed with our boss to let you help out in the shop."

Li Muchen is stupid, this girl is still thinking about helping him find a job.

"Don't worry, our boss is nice, he's not mean at all. Anyway, I'm going to college soon, and there's a shortage of people in the shop." Ding Xiang chirped.

Seeing Ding Xiang's kindness, Li Muchen couldn't bear to refuse.

Think about it now, since there is nothing to do now, just treat it as a place to stay.

Wait until Ma Shan finds a place to gamble on stones and earn some money before considering the next step.

The owner of the restaurant is surnamed Wang. He is fat and always has a smile on his face, just like Maitreya Buddha.

As Ding Xiang said, Boss Wang is a very nice person, just like his appearance, kind and amiable.

The proprietress's surname is Mei, and everyone calls her Sister Mei. She is in her mid-mature, and she still has a charming charm. Among ordinary people, she is definitely considered good-looking.

Unlike Boss Wang, Sister Mei has a hot personality, bold, open minded, and occasionally flirts with customers.

But she is also very kind in her heart. Apart from being fierce to Boss Wang, she is very kind to everyone else in the store.

Boss Wang is usually busy in the back kitchen, and the proprietress sits at the front desk. When she is not busy, the proprietress will go out to do nails or hair, and Boss Wang sits at the front desk.

On the first day of work, Li Muchen learned from Lilac, tidying up the table, nothing else, it was quite relaxing.

In the afternoon, the proprietress went out to have her hair done again, and she called out to Li Muchen, "Xiao Li, would you like to accompany Sister Mei to have her hair done? The teacher Tony I know is amazing. I will ask him to help you look handsome too." of."

As he spoke, he pinched Li Muchen's face.

Li Muchen's scalp was numb: "No, lady boss, I just came here, and I still don't know how to do a lot of things. I'm learning in the store."

"Okay, then you study hard."

The proprietress twisted her waist and left.

Li Muchen always felt that her waist would break.

In this way, he started his first day as a waiter.

...

On this day, news that the Lin family was looking for a Taoist surnamed Li quickly spread among the upper circles in Hecheng.

Looking at the Tianxing Temple in the south of the city, Zhuang Daoyuan is practicing breathing in the yard.

Suddenly a little Taoist priest hurried over.

"Master, Master...""

Zhang Daoyuan received his credit, and asked, "What's the matter, so flustered?"

"Master, there are rumors outside that the Lin family is looking for a Taoist surnamed Li all over the world."

"Is it related to us?"

"It stands to reason that when Taoist priests arrive in Hecheng, they will come to our Tianxing Temple to place orders. If there is anything, they will first greet you, Master. Why did a Taoist priest surnamed Li suddenly come to Hecheng? Just now, the Feng family, check Home, people from the Zhao family all called, asking Master if he knew where Daoist Li came from."

"No one showed up, it's just a name, which has alarmed the three major families of Hecheng." Zhang Daoyuan shook his head.

The little Taoist said: "So, this Daoist Li is very powerful?"

Zhang Daoyuan laughed and said: "Where is Daoist Li powerful, it is clearly the Lin family."

"Then how many families should I call back?" the little Taoist asked again.

Zhang Daoyuan thought for a while and said, "Let me figure it out."

As he spoke, counting his fingers, he suddenly frowned, and said repeatedly: "It's strange, it's strange."

"Master, what's wrong?" the little Taoist asked curiously.

Zhang Daoyuan shook his head: "It's not surprising that we can't figure out the origin of this Daoist Li. He is a non-existent person, but this Lin family..."

He looked to the northwest, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Dark clouds cover the top, and it looks like a decline, but there is a glimmer of light, alas, I can't see through, I can't see through..."
