Chapter 369 Undue Thoughts
"Yes, yes, mother, you can't curse!"

Du Wenxuan's face changed drastically, and he quickly stood up and advised:
"You have to consider your son. I haven't married yet. If you ruin my father's business, how can I marry your son? Just bear a little injustice for your son. I will remember it!
I will definitely repay you in the future!"

Get married?

He didn't really care, he was still young and hadn't had any fun yet, and he didn't want to get married so soon, but having a free one was better than spending money.

at least.

He is often short of money!
What he cared about most was the one hundred taels of silver his father had promised him. With so much money, he didn't know how long it would last him.

He didn't want his mother to curse and affect his uncle's family's view of her mother, and ultimately affect his father and his uncle's family's business.

As for his mother being wronged?
The solution he just gave was because his mother felt wronged. If his mother didn't feel wronged, how could she break the ice between their family and his uncle's family? How could she make his uncle's family agree to his father doing business with them?

Doing so would be quite unfair to his mother, but the problem is, it would only make his mother suffer injustice, not really make her go through mountains of swords and seas of fire without losing even a piece of flesh on her body.

After the success, there will be endless benefits waiting for his father and him - ahem, waiting for their entire family. He believes that his mother can understand and do it.

What he needs to do now is to cheer up his mother.

Du Guan looked at Du Wenxuan speechlessly. He was indeed his eldest son, as he could even say such heartless words.

although.

He thought so in his heart.

Du Guan was just about to comfort Zhang Guilian, but he couldn't let her give up. After all, Zhang Guilian was Zhang Deben's biological sister. If Zhang Guilian refused and expected him to step in, not to mention being embarrassed, even if it meant losing hands and feet, Zhang Deben would not even look at it. He had to rely on him to break the ice with the Zhang family.

It's almost impossible!

“Boom!”, “Boom!”, “Boom!”

Just as the words of comfort came to his lips and Du Guan was about to speak, he heard a series of dull noises coming from the lobby. He subconsciously looked up and was immediately startled.

The two brothers Zhang Chengze and Zhang Chengyong, along with other people, were seen touching their father's coffin.

"What is this for?"

Du Guan was startled and asked in surprise, "Could it be that after my brother-in-law became the mountain god of Lion Ridge, he could come back to life?"

"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? My uncle is dead. Even if he becomes the mountain god of Lion Ridge, he can't come back to life. At least his stinking body is of no use at all!"

Du Wenxuan snorted coldly, his face full of envy.

Although he was not a cultivator, nor even a serious scholar, and had not even passed the most basic test for a boy, let alone cultivating the great righteousness in his body, he had studied in the academy for many years and knew many people that ordinary people did not know.

The old teacher in the school once talked about the matters of mountain gods and land gods.

He probably knows.

If one has great merits during his lifetime, he will be deified after his death, and the size of his position will be determined according to his merits.

Zhang Guilian's face was filled with resentment that was difficult to conceal. She said, "It was Lord Yu who gave the Mountain God Order of Lion Ridge to Zhang Chengyong. Zhang Chengyong followed Lord Yu's instructions and gave the Mountain God Order to my eldest brother!"

She was very unhappy with Zhang Chengyong's attitude just now. If Zhang Chengyong was in front of her, she would show enthusiasm for the sake of her family.

But now there was only her family, no outsiders, and she was too lazy to hide her complaints about Zhang Chengyong. "Mountain God Order?"

Du Guan was stunned for a moment, and before he could finish his words, he heard Du Wenxuan excitedly shouting:

"Mountain God Order? Mother, are you saying that Zhang Chengyong gave the Mountain God Order to Zhang De—ahem, to my uncle?"

Zhang Guilian nodded.

Du Guan frowned and asked, "Why, Wen Xuan, do you have any questions?"

"I……"

Du Wenxuan opened his mouth and was about to say something, but before the words came out of his mouth, he shook his head and said with emotion:
"No problem, I just remembered that I once heard someone mention the Mountain God Order, and I am a little curious about it!"

Naturally, he did not tell his father that he had read in a biography that had spread from somewhere that someone had picked up a mountain god order and became a mountain god with the help of the order.

He used to be just a beggar on the street, but after receiving the Mountain God Order, he rose to prominence and became one of the most influential people in the area.

Gold, silver, jewelry, beauties, delicacies...

That's everything!

At that time, when he first came across this biography, he didn't know how much he envied the protagonist in the biography.

"If, if I can steal - no, if I can get this mountain god order, can I also become the mountain god of Lion Ridge?"

Du Wenxuan's breathing suddenly became rapid. He recalled the detailed record of the mountain god in the biography he had read, and it clearly emerged in his mind.

"Isn't it just a Mountain God Token? What's there to be jealous of? Your uncle is now a living Mountain God. Isn't he many times better than a mere Mountain God Token?"

Du Guan snorted and looked at Du Wenxuan's useless appearance. He was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, saying that this little bastard was not as steady as him at all. If it weren't for the fact that this little bastard's features were extremely similar to his, he would have doubted whether this little bastard was his child. How could he have given birth to such a thing?

Du Wenxuan seemed not to hear what Du Guan said and just grinned foolishly.

A flash of inspiration flashed through Du Guan's mind. Looking at the smirking Du Wenxuan, his face changed drastically. He wanted to slap him to wake him up, but he was afraid that others would notice the abnormality here, so he whispered:
"Du-Wen-Xuan!"

The sudden voice rang in Du Wenxuan's mind like thunder, making him feel like he was caught stealing something. He was startled and said in panic:
"Dad, what's wrong?"

"You bastard, tell me the truth, do you have any inappropriate thoughts about your uncle's Mountain God Order?"

Du Guan looked at Du Wenxuan deeply and spoke in a bad tone.

"Dad, what did you say?"

Du Wenxuan felt particularly uncomfortable being looked at by Du Guan, and smiled awkwardly: "That Mountain God Order belongs to my uncle, and it is of no use to me. How could I have such inappropriate thoughts?"

Du Guan looked at Du Wenxuan coldly. As the saying goes: No one knows a son better than his father. Moreover, Du Wenxuan's expression was particularly abnormal. After all, he was still too young and his acting skills were not good.

This bastard is most likely to have ideas about Zhang Deben’s Mountain God Order!

He really wanted to ask what the purpose of the Mountain God Order was that could make this bastard have such an idea, but when he saw outsiders around, he had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and buried his curiosity deep in his heart.

Du Guan changed the subject and said, "Gui Lian, you still have to go and get closer to your sister-in-law and the others!"
