Chapter 382

~8 min read 1,428 words

The quantity of gold bars and silver dollars in this jar was truly not small.

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

Adding up all the silver dollars from various periods, there were 980 in total; because most of these 980 silver dollars were "Yuan Yuan Datou" (Yuan Shikai silver dollars), and each "Yuan Yuan Datou" is a standard 26.7 grams, the total weight of the silver dollars was about fifty-three or four jin.

Because everyone didn't want the large money, and they only took one or two pieces of porcelain symbolically, Wang An thought for a moment and decided to divide all the gold bars and silver dollars equally, which would be considered a way to balance everyone's psychology.

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 them is truly 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 large money, I won't keep the share for being the leader; we will 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 at once:

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

"Yeah, you being able to lead these relatives to get rich is already benevolent enough."

"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 as everyone was expressing their opinions, Wang An interrupted them and said:

"Everyone listen to me first, we are all relatives, there are no outsiders, a little more or a little less is just how it is. Anyway, once it's divided, that's it; in the future, we'll all pretend this never happened."

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

"This time we went into the mountains, it was quite smooth, but, what happened, everyone saw it too, so let's be clear: tomorrow, I won't admit to this mountain trip anymore."

To be honest, with many people, there are many words, and Wang An is truly not at ease; if someone lets it slip and it's reported by someone with ulterior motives, then no one will have a good ending.

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

"Yeah, me too."

"We aren't people who don't understand things, so don't worry, Xiao An."

"Yeah, we all understand."

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

"Alright then, since I am still the leader of this mountain trip, then listen to me; I say divide it this way, so divide it this way, no problem, right? Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone didn't answer, they 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!

And so, Wang An began to divide all the gold bars and silver dollars into 14 equal shares.

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

After dividing the gold bars and silver dollars, all the harvest from this mountain trip was considered completely divided.

Everyone held 1.4 jin of gold and 70 silver dollars, and their happy expressions were beyond words.

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

Not only did they observe very carefully, but they also occasionally blew on them and then put them to their ears to listen.

Wang An also learned the actions of Wang Wang Dashu and the others, putting them to his ear to listen...

Then Wang An discovered that his ears might have a problem, he didn't hear a damn thing.

And just at this time, after Wang Wang Dashu noticed Wang An's action, he asked with a smile: "How is it? Xiao An, isn't the sound made by these silver dollars particularly good to hear?"

Wang An turned his head upon hearing this, looking at his great-uncle with a confused face; although he didn't hear anything, he still subconsciously replied:

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

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

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

Hearing this, Wang Wang Dashu said unpleasantly:

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

Before Wang Li could answer with a confused face, he heard Wang Wang Dashu continue:

"I've told you guys every day, picking your ears makes you deaf, but you just don't listen. Look at you, you've picked your ears until they're broken, right?"

Wang Li scratched his head, and the confusion on his face turned into complete bewilderment 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 avoid his great-uncle and went with Wang Wang Dazhu to tidy up the large money and porcelain that everyone didn't want.

After a 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, you have to share them with your family to feel more happiness and joy.

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

I have to say, meat is something that is very popular at any time.

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

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

After seeing everyone off, Wang Wang Dazhu and Wang An (father and son) continued to organize and hide all the proceeds from the mountain trip, and then it was dinner time.

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

So, the father and son were finally sleepy.

And so, Wang An threw the 10 bundles of large bills 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 Wang Dazhu was already snoring on the kang in the east room.

After this day and night, they were truly tired, but whether it was Wang Wang Dazhu or Wang An, after falling asleep, there were smiles on their faces.

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

At the same time, in the homes of these relatives of Wang An, similar scenes to that of Wang 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 would be a damn lie!

The night passed without incident, and soon it was dawn.

At breakfast, his younger sister Wang Wang Xiaoli whispered to Wang An:

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

Wang An looked at his younger sister's innocent big eyes and instantly thought of how hard it was to chisel 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 Wang Xiaoli had already started learning to beat around the bush.
