Chapter 375

~8 min read 1,408 words

The quantity of this jar of gold bars and silver big oceans was quite large.

There were a full 100 gold bars weighing two liang each, which is 20 jin.

Adding up all the silver big oceans from various periods, there were a total of 980, because most of these 980 silver big oceans were Yuan Datou, and each Yuan Datou is a standard 26.7 grams, so the total weight of the silver big oceans was about fifty-three or four jin.

Because everyone didn't want the big coins, and only symbolically took one or two pieces of porcelain, Wang An thought about it and planned to divide all the gold bars and silver dollars equally, which would be considered letting everyone find a psychological balance.

At the same time, it also avoids someone regretting it in the future because the price of porcelain rises.

Although everyone is a relative and the relationship between each other is quite good, Wang An believes that no matter what the relationship is, it is very fragile in front of money.

Of course, things must be made clear.

So Wang An said directly to the crowd:

"Because you didn't want those porcelains and big coins, I won't keep the share I was entitled to as the leader; we'll divide everything equally, which will be considered a make-up for you; what do you think?"

Hearing Wang An's words, everyone immediately started talking all at once:

"No need, just divide it as it should be divided."

"Mm, you've been righteous enough to lead this group of relatives to get rich."

"Don't worry about those porcelains; just divide the gold and silver according to the rules; everyone has nothing to say."

"If you ask me, it should be divided as it should be divided."

Just when everyone was expressing their opinions, Wang An interrupted everyone's words and said:

"Everyone listen to me first; we are all relatives, and there are no outsiders; a little more or a little less is about the same; anyway, after dividing it, let's just leave it at that; from now on, let's just pretend this never happened."

After Wang An finished this paragraph, he looked at the crowd and continued:

"This time we went into the mountains, it can be considered quite smooth, but what's going on, everyone has seen it, so let's be clear, I won't admit to this trip into the mountains tomorrow."

To tell the truth, with many people and many mouths, Wang An is truly not very at ease, but if someone lets it slip and is reported by someone with ulterior motives, then no one will have a good ending.

"Don't worry, Little An; once I walk out this door, I'll forget it."

"Mm, me too."

"We are all sensible people, so don't worry, Little An."

"Mm, we all understand."

After everyone finished speaking, Wang An said with a smile:

"That's fine; while I'm still the leader of this trip into the mountains, let's listen to me; I say divide it this way, so divide it this way; no problem, right? Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone didn't answer and all laughed.

Actually, in this world, no matter who it is, it's the same: monks might not be greedy for money, but the more the better!

Consequently, Wang An began to divide all the gold bars and silver big oceans into 14 equal shares.

After each person got 7 gold bars, 2 were left, which were kept by Wang An, and the silver big oceans were exactly 70 each, not one more.

After dividing the gold bars and silver big oceans, all the gains from this trip into the mountains were considered fully divided.

Each person holding 1.4 jin of gold and 70 silver big oceans, the happy expression was beyond words.

And the elders like Wang Dashu, after casually putting away the gold bars, focused all their attention on the silver big oceans, their faces full of excitement.

Not only did they observe very carefully, but they also occasionally blew on them and then listened with their ears.

Wang An also learned the actions of Wang Dashu and others and listened with his ears...

And then Wang An discovered that his ears might be damn problematic; he didn't hear a damn thing.

And just at this time, after Wang Dashu noticed Wang An's actions, he asked with a smile: "How is it? Little An, is the sound made by this silver egg ocean particularly good to hear?"

Wang An turned his head upon hearing this, looking at Great Uncle in a daze; although he didn't hear anything, he still subconsciously answered:

"Ah? Ah, good to hear, truly good to hear..."

Wang Dashu happily wanted to continue discussing with Wang An, but heard Wang Li ask suspiciously from the side:

"That, Great Uncle, why can't I hear anything?"

Wang Dashu said unhappily upon hearing this:

"You useless thing, do you pick your ears when you have nothing to do?"

Before Wang Li could answer with a face full of confusion, he heard Wang Dashu continue:

"I've told you every day to pick your ears, but you just don't listen; look at you, have you picked your ears deaf?"

Wang Li scratched his head, and the confusion on his face turned into a daze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If you were to put your ear close to Wang Li's mouth at this time, you would hear Wang Li muttering:

"I don't pick my ears when I have nothing to do..."

And Wang An took the opportunity to dodge Great Uncle and went with Wang Dazhu to clean up the big coins and porcelain that everyone didn't want.

After another while, everyone began to say goodbye and leave one after another; they hadn't been home for a day and a night, and no matter who it was, they had a feeling of wanting to return home like an arrow.

The key is that with so much money and so many good things, sharing them with their own families will make people feel more happy and joyful.

When everyone left, Wang An also gave everyone two pieces of horse meat, about 10-plus jin.

I have to say, meat is always very popular no matter when.

After giving the rest to everyone, Feng Chengmin, Wang An, Wang Li, and Mu Xueli divided it equally.

Of course, it was just a rough division, because no one cared about a little more or a little less.

After sending everyone away, Wang Dazhu and Wang An, father and son, continued to organize and hide all the gains from the trip into the mountains, and then it was time for dinner.

Everyone is the same; they get sleepy when they are full, not to mention people who haven't slept for a night.

So, the father and son were finally sleepy.

Consequently, Wang An threw 10 stacks of Big Unities on the kang in the east room, washed up simply, and returned to the west room to lie on the kang and sleep soundly.

And Wang Dazhu was already snoring on the kang in the east room.

After a day and a night, it was truly tiring, but whether it was Wang Dazhu or Wang An, after falling asleep, their faces were filled with smiles.

They truly achieved the point of being able to wake up laughing while sleeping.

At the same time, in the homes of these relatives of Wang An, scenes similar to those of Wang Dazhu and Wang An, father and son, were happening one after another.

When everything settled down and the tense nerves relaxed, saying they weren't tired or sleepy was damn fake!

One night passed without a word, and soon it was dawn.

During breakfast, the little sister Wang Xiaoli asked Wang An in a low voice:

"Big Brother, the small fish you brought back yesterday, Mom said they aren't good to eat; do you say they are good to eat?"

Wang An looked at his little sister's innocent big eyes and instantly thought of the effort of chiseling the ice hole the night before last!

So he pretended not to understand and said:

"If Mom says they aren't good to eat, then they aren't good to eat."

At this time, the whole family couldn't hold back their laughter; they never expected that 6-year-old Wang Xiaoli had already started learning to beat around the bush.
