Chapter 350

He didn't expect Li Laoer to be related to Xu Laifu's family; he was actually his great-uncle, from Haiqing Village.

A few days ago, the father and his two sons from Haiqing Village brought people from their village to cause trouble. Because Li Laoer and the others returned late from the sea, they arrived a step late and luckily avoided a beating, only watching in fear from afar.

They also recognized Ye Yaodong and his father as the ones who caused his tuna to fall into the sea, and he was still brooding over the stone they had salvaged.

It was fine when they didn't meet, not knowing which village they were from. Now that they had bumped into each other, the matter that had been cast to the back of his mind flashed back.

He didn't want to go up and get beaten, so he went straight to the Xu family and asked Xu Laifu about the Ye Yaodong family, incidentally instructing him to steal that stone from Ye Yaodong's house.

This grand-nephew was used to stealing chickens and dogs, so giving him one yuan to tell him to go was perfect.

But after waiting for two or three days, there was no news. Recently, everyone at sea had been busy catching squid, and Li Laoer hadn't had time to come to the village.

But when he returned in the evening, he heard from villagers that a young man in Bai Sha Village had found ambergris by the sea—a huge piece, worth a lot of money, enough to buy the "three items and one sound" and a television. He heard he was even preparing to move to the city to live.

Li Laoer's pupils constricted instantly, and he slapped his thigh, feeling very regretful. He had been wondering why he always felt that stone was strange. Could it be the legendary ambergris?

He was so anxious that he didn't care about washing up or eating, nor did he care that it was getting dark. He hurriedly called his wife and four sons to rush to Bai Sha Village.

He didn't know who this young man was. Was it Xu Laifu who got his hands on it?

But just as he reached Bai Sha Village, he heard a different version. It turned out that the ambergris was fake???

He was stunned again. How could it be real one moment and fake the next? Didn't everyone say they were going to move to the city and buy home appliances?

Walking along the way, all he heard were various voices mocking the Xu family.

"It's truly hilarious. Yesterday they were so arrogant, saying it would be broken by everyone looking at it, and that selling us wouldn't be enough to compensate."

"Yeah, they wouldn't even let us take a look, hiding it away. As a result, this morning when someone went to ask if they were preparing to sell it, their family's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot."

"Then the child ran out and said it was wood~ Hahahaha~ This is the funniest thing I've encountered this year. A piece of broken wood treated as ambergris~ Hahaha~"

"A piece of broken wood, and the whole family hadn't even figured it out. They hadn't even seen it and already treated it as a treasure, acting all puffed up."

"Haha, who spread the word about ambergris?"

"I heard it was Old Wang from the shop~ He was sitting at the door eating melon seeds and started shouting about it, and then everyone said Laifu's kid had brought a piece of ambergris home."

"Hahaha~ They were tricked badly by Old Wang~"

"Maybe they intentionally said it was wood just to deceive everyone? They aren't afraid of thieves stealing, they're afraid of thieves coveting it. This is a treasure!"

"It's possible. I heard someone went to pry open their front door last night. Even the door lock was broken, and the things in the main room were turned upside down. Fortunately, they heard the commotion in the night and got up to scare the person away."

"Oh my, this wealth is not easy to make, is it?"

"Who says it isn't?"

"I don't know if that ambergris is real or fake."

"With their family's character, they won't be able to keep it hidden. After selling it for a lot of money, they'll definitely shout about it, right?"

"God knows, the whole family are all ghosts!"

"Yesterday, who was still there praising Xu Laifu for being blessed, born with wealth, and sure to have great success in the future... Oh my mother, it's killing me with laughter..."

All kinds of rumors flooded into the ears of Li Laoer's family as they entered the village.

Because ambergris is indeed rare, the whole village's eyes were fixed on Xu Laifu's family. Today, their family was the center of conversation for the whole village, from morning to night, and they wouldn't get tired of it. They would probably be able to talk about it for many days, unless something new came up to replace it.

Li Laoer's family looked at each other, unable to tell whether it was true or false for a moment.

"Let's go, let's go to the Xu family first to see."

Walking along the way, they heard many more gloating and sour remarks.

"Their family's popularity seems quite poor?"

"They are all a bunch of people who can't stand to see others doing well..."

"That's true. Suddenly obtaining a rare treasure, who wouldn't be envious and jealous?"

The father and sons talked as they walked. When they went to the Xu family, they found their doors and windows tightly closed.

Now that the weather is getting hot, everyone likes to sit at the door and chat after dinner. How could anyone return to their rooms so early with the doors and windows tightly closed?

There must be something fishy!

Thinking this, Li Laoer went to knock on the door.

The neighbors on the left and right were watching them curiously, whispering in low voices, "Could it be that they also heard from somewhere that the Xu family got rich, so they came to the door to ask for a hand?"

"It's possible. It seems like quite a lot of people have been coming back and forth today?"

"So that's why the Xu family said the ambergris was fake?"

"God knows..."

Li Laoer's face turned black after hearing the neighbors nearby treat them as poor relatives coming to beg for favors.

Originally, after working for a day and still being hungry, his mood was very bad. At this moment, his knocking became forceful, as if he were going to knock the door panel down, and he shouted loudly for them to open the door.

"Are you calling for souls? Which short-lived ghost is still coming to the door after dark? If you break my door, I'll make you compensate!" Xu Mu shouted with full anger.

All day long, several waves of various distant relatives had come, all crying poverty.

Telling them not to forget everyone is relatives now that they've gotten rich, that they should help out if they can, that they should help if they can, that one shouldn't forget their roots, and so on...

It made her liver ache with anger, and she drove everyone out. At this moment, hearing someone come to the door again, it would be strange if Xu Mu's tone was good.

If anyone dared to come to their house to beg for favors, borrow rice, or borrow money on a daily basis, their whole family could spray them until their parents wouldn't even recognize them.

"It's your uncle!"

Xu Mu opened the door with a foul face and stared directly at them. "When is it not okay to come to the door? It's late at night, don't others need to sleep? The door is about to be broken by you."

"How are you talking? Where is Xu Laifu? Call him out, I have something to ask him."

"Ask what? If you have something to say, just say it!"

Li Laoer was full of anger and wanted to enter the house to find Xu Laifu, but was blocked at the door by her. He angrily shouted directly: "Xu Laifu, get out here!"

"Xu Laifu, get out here..."

"Xu Laifu..."

Xu Mu was furious. "What are you shouting for?"

Everyone else in the house also ran out. Everyone's complexion was not good, and Xu Lao Tai Tai also had a long face looking at this younger brother.

"What are you running here for? Also thinking about coming to the door to beg for favors, letting our family help you? Everyone's eyes haven't even closed yet, and you're already starting to dream?"

Li Laoer's chest was heaving with anger, and he was just about to burst into curses when he saw Xu Laifu limping out of the house.

"Xu Laifu, I ask you, where did you get that ambergris yesterday?"

"Damn the ambergris!"

As soon as this was mentioned, the whole family was annoyed. Xu Mu directly cursed.

"Uncle, we agreed on one yuan, you can't go back on it." Xu Laifu pointed to the pile of firewood in front of the stove with a mournful face. "The thing you want is there."

Li Laoer rushed in directly and picked up a gray-white piece of wood from the firewood pile?

Yes, it was wood!

The other sides were all gray-white, only the edge had been chopped, revealing brown wood. Li Laoer frowned in disbelief and saw another white piece that had been chopped off in the corner.

He picked up both pieces, one in each hand, and pieced them together. Only then did he mutter to himself, "It really is wood?"

"Dad, could it be that their family is lying to us? Intentionally making a fake one to fool us?"

Li Laoer instantly regained his spirit upon hearing this. It's possible!

Anyone who stole ambergris wouldn't admit it, and they certainly wouldn't be willing to hand it over.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you sick? We're too full, and we intentionally made a fake one to fool you? Are you that important?"

Xu Mu looked at their actions inexplicably and then looked at her youngest son. "What one yuan are you talking about? What thing does your uncle want?"

Xu Laifu saw that the eyes of all his family members were on him, and he couldn't help but shrink back. "This wasn't picked up by me, it was stolen from Ye Yaodong's house. Uncle said if I stole it, he would give me one yuan. Who knew this thing was ambergris... ah no... not ambergris..."

"Ah, Dad, look, he let it slip! Exposed, what he stole was ambergris..." Li Laoer's eldest son said excitedly.

"No, no, I said it wrong, it's not ambergris, it's not ambergris... it's wood... it's wood..."

Li Laoer's eyes lit up, and he was also excited. "Stop lying, you just said you stole ambergris."

The villagers who were curiously surrounding the door to eavesdrop were also in an uproar.

"Ah!

! So it wasn't picked up by the sea, it was stolen!"

"It was stolen from A-Dong's house? Hurry, hurry... hurry and notify their family... the treasure has been stolen by someone..."

"Damn... did A-Dong's family not know the value, so they didn't even know it was stolen? Hurry and tell them..."

"Someone hurry and notify them..."

All the Xu family members turned their heads in disbelief to look at those villagers. They hurriedly explained, "It's not, it's not ambergris..."

Xu Laifu was also startled by the villagers at the door. "No... no... I didn't steal his, this was picked up by me, what I picked up really is wood, it's not ambergris... it really isn't ambergris..."

"So many people heard it, you said you stole ambergris, and you also said you were instructed by your uncle to steal ambergris..." a villager shouted righteously.

"Everyone hurry and tell A-Dong, that's a treasure, don't let him suffer a big loss..."

"Gone, gone... Xiao Liu has already run to their house..."

The whole Xu family was there explaining in a panic, but no one believed them anymore. The main person involved had just opened his mouth and admitted it.

Even if Li Laoer understood now that Xu Laifu really stole ambergris, he didn't dare to shout and ask him to hand it over, or want a share of the spoils. So many villagers heard it was stolen from Ye Yaodong...

If the villagers hadn't heard it, he could still get a share from the Xu family...

Damn it, why are the villagers of Bai Sha Village so gossipy?
