Chapter 357 Flattery? I can!

“Can you really make money?”

Du Wenxuan's eyes suddenly lit up. He was not young, but he knew clearly the benefits of money.

He is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and has been hanging around in Qingyun County for many years. He has dealt with all kinds of people, rich or poor, and people behave differently in front of him.

"What do you say?"

Du Guan snorted coldly.

Du Wenxuan reacted immediately and chuckled.

He knew what kind of character his father was. If there was no benefit in being teased in the Zhang family, his father would have taken them away long ago.

How could he continue to stay here? He just tried to please the Zhang and Wang families.

It is understandable that he wants to please the Wang family, because the Wang family has produced a hidden dragon. His cousin is now the top three in the imperial examination and has married the prime minister's daughter, becoming the prime minister's son-in-law.

Even though the Wang family has severed ties with his cousin, the relationship between father and son cannot be severed just like that. Let's wait for his cousin's parents to think it through.

He knew that whether his cousin married the prime minister's daughter or divorced his child bride, it would be a great thing for his cousin.

As parents, they should be happy and think about the future of their children.

To restore the father-son relationship, could his cousin just refuse?

His father seemed to be trying to curry favor with his cousin's parents, but in fact he was trying to curry favor with his cousin.

but.

He couldn't understand why his father was trying to curry favor with the Zhang family just now. He had not forgotten that whenever his father mentioned the Zhang family, he couldn't help but curse them, saying that the Zhang family were heartless and had forgotten his care. If his father didn't have a reason, how could he possibly curry favor with the Zhang family?

Du Guan looked at Du Wenxuan's useless appearance, as if he had thought of something good, his face was full of excitement that could not be concealed, he could not help but snorted and reminded:
"Your uncle is now the mountain god of Lion Ridge, so you should control your temper. Even if it is false, don't offend your uncle and his family.

Otherwise, if I can’t do business with your uncle and make money from the special products of Lion Ridge, you will see how I will deal with you when I return!”

Do business?
Zhang Deben has become the mountain god of Lion Ridge. As Zhang Deben's brother-in-law, shouldn't Zhang Deben help him?
The specialties of Lion Hill should be given to him for free. After all, Zhang Deben is the mountain god of Lion Hill and he will never lack specialties of Lion Hill. It is only right to give him some for business.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely flatter - ahem, talk nicely to cousin Chengze and the others. If you make money, won't you..."

Du Wenxuan's face straightened. He had been hanging around in Qingyun County for so many years, and although he had not learned many other skills, he still knew the skill of flattery. However, before he could finish his words, he saw his father's face and was stunned. He said:

"Dad, you're not going to give me money, are you?"

Since he stopped going to school and failed the imperial examination, he even failed the boy's examination. Initially, he went into business in the family shop arranged by his father, but he quit after not working for long.

It's his fault that his father is a good-for-nothing and treats him like a slave.

He was the successor of his father's business. Logically, he should have been collecting money at the counter. However, his father treated him as a handyman and asked him to carry goods. He was not even needed to keep accounts.

How could he not see his father's sinister intentions?
Treat him like a servant who doesn't need any wages!
After he quit his job, he started hanging out with bad friends in the county town. His father thought he was a nobody, and it was harder than climbing to heaven to get a penny from his father.

If his mother didn't love him, he wouldn't have the face to hang out with his bad friends. How could they take him, a freeloader, to play?

Fortunately, his mother felt sorry for him and would give him some change every now and then.

He even doubted whether he was his father's biological son. How could he be so reluctant to spend his money on his own child?
Counting on his father to give money?

Unless the sun rises from the west!
Du Guan said sternly: "Wenxuan, don't worry, when your father makes money, I will arrange a marriage for you. Find a beautiful wife and start a family!"

"Dad, I think you just don't want to give me money!"

Du Wenxuan snorted in dissatisfaction. As father and son for many years, he knew what his father was talking about when his father raised his butt. Without waiting for his father to speak, he continued:

"Dad, you said that if my uncle becomes the mountain god of Lion Ridge, you can make a lot of money. I also believe that you can make a lot of money, but the problem is whether my uncle can become the mountain god of Lion Ridge is still a question."

If Zhang Deben was still the same as before, just an ordinary poor hunter, how could you expect him to call you 'uncle'?
It’s better to dream!
He would call Zhang Deben "uncle" at this time, but didn't he know what kind of benefits Zhang Deben's becoming the mountain god of Lion Hill would bring to their family and him?
Du Guan said angrily, "What are you talking about? Why can't your uncle be the mountain god of Lion Ridge?"

At this time, he wanted Zhang Deben to become the mountain god of Lion Ridge more than anyone else, even the Zhang family.

That's a big deal for him to make money, how could he not take it seriously?

"Dad, didn't you just say that Master Yu might have returned empty-handed, and might have fled in disgrace? Master Yu failed to solve the monster in Lion Ridge, so how could my uncle succeed in becoming the mountain god of Lion Ridge?"

Du Wenxuan said with a serious expression.

If he didn't know that if Zhang Deben became the mountain god of Lion Ridge, it would bring infinite benefits to him and their family, he would not care whether Zhang Deben could become the mountain god of Lion Ridge. He would even hope that Zhang Deben would be harmed by the monsters of Lion Ridge.

He, a scholar, couldn't become the mountain god. How come Zhang Deben was just a poor hunter and became the new mountain god of Lion Hill?

Du Wenxuan sighed slightly and spoke again:
"If we fail to solve the monster occupying Lion Ridge, my uncle will not be able to become the mountain god of Lion Ridge. He may not even have the chance to reincarnate after being harmed by that monster!"

of course.

There was another sentence he didn't say, which was that after the monster that occupied Lion Ridge became an evil god, the people living near Lion Ridge would probably live a life worse than death.

just.

What does the life or death of the people living near Lion Ridge have to do with him?
Du Guan opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but seeing Yu Die walking into the Zhang family's courtyard, with a miserable appearance, no one believed that she had fled in a panic, so he said: "This Lord Yu may not have solved the monster occupying Lion Ridge, but doesn't the Zhang family still have Luo Xianguan?"

"Luo Xianguan..."

Du Wenxuan wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

He was from the county town and had dealt with all kinds of people. He knew how powerful Luo Liang was better than the people in Zhangjia Village. If he dared to say something strange about Luo Liang, he would probably die without anyone knowing.

Du Wenxuan changed the subject and said:

"With Luo Xianguan's ability, he can deal with the monster occupying Lion Ridge, but once Luo Xianguan takes action, my uncle will become a puppet with the title of mountain god in vain. Will we still be able to benefit from Lion Ridge?"
