Chapter 491

Hearing Mu Xueqing's worry, Wang An comforted her with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm so fierce. Besides, with my marksmanship, who would I be afraid of? Just do it."

Mu Xueqing rolled her eyes at Wang An and said slowly:

"Then since you're so fierce, why did you let people beat you like this? You were almost beaten to death by them, right?"

When Wang An heard this, he was speechless. Mainly because this woman's words were truly heart-piercing, specifically stabbing at his lungs.

Wang An thought for a long time, and just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, he heard Mu Xueqing continue:

"Are you trying to say that you were unprepared, and then you were careless for a moment, and then you were tricked by someone?"

Wang An opened his mouth and was about to reply, but Mu Xueqing spoke again:

"Are you trying to say that they didn't take advantage of you either, and you crippled them all?"

After Mu Xueqing finished speaking, Wang An just looked at Mu Xueqing blankly, completely unable to speak.

Mainly because what Mu Xueqing said was all correct!

And these words were indeed what Wang An wanted to say just now. The most impressive thing was that they were all predicted by Mu Xueqing in advance and said for Wang An.

It must be said that Mu Xueqing indeed understood Wang An.

Seeing Wang An not speaking, Mu Xueqing said again:

"I heard them say that those gold panners are the fiercest of the fierce, the animals of the animals, and many of them have come out of prison, with no humanity at all, killing people and seizing gold at every turn."

Wang An blinked and moved his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Mainly because what Mu Xueqing said was absolutely correct, because the facts were really like this.

After Mu Xueqing finished speaking, the two of them were silent for a long time before Wang An said:

"Panning for gold is actually no different from mountain hunting; anyway, it's a job that puts your head on your belt. If you don't do anything because you're afraid, then wife, tell me, can our family still have the life we have now?"

Wang An's words hit the nail on the head and pointed out the key point of the problem.

It must be admitted that Wang An's family is indeed very rich now, but not a single cent of Wang An's family's money was obtained easily.

Besides, having money and not earning money anymore doesn't conform to the Chinese way of thinking.

Because in China, there is an old saying that is very vivid: monks don't covet wealth, but the more the better!

Hearing Wang An's words, Mu Xueqing very openly didn't insist on her own ideas, thought for a moment, and suggested:

"Then why don't you find a few more trustworthy people to go with you? After all, there is strength in numbers. If something really happens, it will be easier to deal with if there are more people, what do you think?"

Wang An thought for a moment before nodding slowly and saying:

"Mm, if I can find them, I should find a few, but at the very least, they must have good marksmanship and be the kind who dare to take action."

The reason why Wang An agreed with Mu Xueqing's suggestion was mainly for safety considerations.

You must know that in a place like a gold mine, human life is the least valuable thing.

Of course, it's not just gold mines; other mines are the same.

Take the least valuable coal mine compared to metal mines.

As everyone knows, it seems that there has never been a coal mine that hasn't had an accident.

And things like people dying seem to be a trivial matter, and no one will pay attention to it at all.

Even more so, some people disappeared for no reason after going to work in coal mines. As for those who were sold in and forced to be workers, it is not uncommon at all.

Whether it's gold or coal, with profit as the priority, how many people can control their desires?

Therefore, if you run into a large gang, relying only on the strength of three people, it is very likely that you will lose your life there.

However, it is really not easy to find candidates. After all, if you go panning for gold with people you can't trust, then in Wang An's view, it's better not to go.

To tell the truth, Wang An is the kind of person whose suspicion is very heavy, and he cannot fully trust anyone.

This led to Wang An agreeing with Mu Xueqing's words, but he couldn't think of a suitable candidate in his heart for a while.

Just when Wang An was thinking with a frown, Mu Xueqing saw what Wang An was thinking and said softly:

"Xiao An, do you think there's no suitable person?"

Wang An nodded and said helplessly:

"Mm, wealth moves people's hearts. It's really not easy to find people with good marksmanship who can also be trusted."

Actually, in Wang An's heart, his uncle-in-law Feng Chengmin is a person he can trust and who meets the requirements.

But panning for gold in the mountains takes at least a month. Although letting his aunt Wang Yulian lead the two children at home with the help of relatives is not a big problem, Wang An, as a nephew, cannot ignore this problem.

The most important thing is that Feng Chengmin, as a veteran hunter, has a good harvest every winter and is not short of money at all.

Therefore, Wang An decided to ask his aunt's opinion first, and then ask his uncle-in-law's opinion.

Mu Xueqing heard Wang An's words and pondered for a moment before saying:

"Big Sister's skills are so good, and she was a soldier. Before you two go into the mountains tomorrow, why don't you ask her?"

Wang An nodded and promised:

"Mm, I'll ask. She is someone who works, so it's not certain she will have time for a month or so."

Mu Xueqing thought for a moment and said again:

"Anyway, since it can be called a gold mine, it shouldn't be small. As long as you don't tell anyone, having a few more people won't have any impact. Wu Dong and Wang Shuai have helped us a lot. Besides, with them around in the future, it will be convenient for you to do anything. Why don't you think about whether you want to tell them?"

It must be said that although Mu Xueqing can only be considered a housewife now, her vision and thinking, including her pattern, and the person she is, are truly quite awesome.

Because from her words, it can be seen that Mu Xueqing has considered all aspects.

Just as she said, for a gold mine, as long as it hasn't been discovered by the government, then panning for gold by one person and panning for gold by a dozen people is actually the same.

That is to say, there is no situation where there are more wolves and less meat.

And Mu Xueqing also pointed out the pros and cons, clearly wanting Wang An to do a favor.

However, in the end, she let Wang An consider it carefully and make a decision, completely like a virtuous wife.

Therefore, after Mu Xueqing said these words, Wang An's look at Mu Xueqing changed. He stepped forward and hugged Mu Xueqing's head and gnawed on it several times.

Although Wang An and Mu Xueqing didn't know each other for the first day, and they had been married for so long, it wasn't until this moment that Wang An completely looked at Mu Xueqing with new eyes.

Wang An suddenly discovered that this top-grade woman Mu Xueqing, besides being a bit speechless in dancing with guns and sticks, was almost perfect both externally and internally.

If such a woman were born in ancient times, she would definitely become an empress.

Even if she couldn't become an empress, at the very least she would be a queen or a first-rank noblewoman!
