She has divine power far beyond the scope of human beings. In the shocked eyes of Yang Xiaoqian, she just lifted the whole bed with a light lift of her hand, and saw that there were densely stacked gold nuggets under the bed.

Not only that, Qing Li also noticed the hidden compartment on the ground. When he opened it, he saw two small boxes from left to right.

In the two small boxes, there were silvers stacked together, but the amount was not much, and each box had several hundred taels of silver.

"With so much gold, why don't you treat yourself better?" Qing Li asked.

Yang Xiaoqian frowned, as if he was displeased by this question:

"This is just where I sleep at night. I go out every day and have my own entertainment. You don't need to worry about it."

Qing Li nodded:

"That's even more strange. Even if you don't show off your wealth, you won't stay in a place like this for three years."

"Besides, your parents and brothers are all poor people, why don't you give them something? Anyway, you have some money."

This question seemed to anger Yang Xiaoqian, and he interrupted with hatred:

"This is my family affair, why do you want to know so much?"

"Don't you just want to get the story of the Golden Country from me? I can tell you." After seeing the strange power of this woman, Yang Xiaoqian also told the truth very happily:

"The Golden Country is fake, I made it up to deceive people and make them believe it."

"In fact, the truth is that there is an abandoned temple of the God of Wealth outside the city...The God of Wealth is a soft-hearted god who can't stand people suffering."

"As long as you cry and wail in front of the statue of the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth will give you a touchstone."

Qing Li nodded, but still stood there.

"Actually, I'm quite curious....Your family only has two tiled houses, and even your brother Yang Dabai lives under the same roof with your parents." She asked: "I can understand that you hide the Touchstone. It's reasonable not to show off your wealth." "But you and your family live almost under the same roof, but you pretended to be poor for three years and didn't help your parents at all. Why is that?" "No, why are you so talkative?" Yang Xiaoqian said angrily: "My brother works as a helper in Shanzhenlou and gets gold as reward money, How much does it cost to buy a piece of land and build a tile house? "

"He is the one who has to be a miser and save money. He sleeps in the same room with my parents. This is his decision. What does it have to do with me?"

"Are you so nosy? Didn't I tell you where I got the Touchstone?"

"Because I am a hypocrite, I especially like to meddle in other people's affairs. "Qing Li said expressionlessly: "Hurry up and tell me, or I will kill you."

After saying that, she raised the iron gun in her hand and put it across Yang Xiaoqian's throat.

The tip of the gun pierced Yang Xiaoqian's skin, and the cold and sharp metal touch made Yang Xiaoqian's mind blank for a while, and a trace of blood flowed out of the wound.

"I said... Don't do it!" Yang Xiaoqian cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to complain.

But at this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house.

The first to come over was Qiao Mu, who had a fat cat on his shoulder and a changed face.

Following closely were Yang Dabai, a helper in the restaurant, and the gambling ghost Old Yang and his wife.

Qiao Mu originally planned to let Yang Dabai lead the way to the old Yang's house, but he ran into the old Yang couple when he passed by the casino.

As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Mu saw Qing Li threatening Yang Xiaoqian with a gun, and next to him was a room full of shining gold and silver treasures, which was really dazzling.

"This." The old Yang couple's eyes were immediately straightened.

They looked at the room full of gold and silver, and then looked at Qing Li holding a spear...

Although Qing Li's face was not clear under the hat, he clearly exuded a sense of keeping strangers away. Even if he didn't speak, he had a faint sense of majesty.

Such a person obviously has a good status and is not someone his son can afford to provoke.

And this room full of gold and silver... obviously can't be his son's things.

"So much gold and silver..." Yang's mother suddenly felt weak: "Xiao Qian, did you steal the gold and silver of this adult? Are you forced to come here?" "Auntie...my son didn't steal it on purpose..." "Shut up, mother!" Yang Xiaoqian's face flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "These gold and silver originally belonged to me. I didn't steal or rob them. I made them honestly... In short, they belong to me." It would have been better if Yang Xiaoqian didn't say anything. When he said that, Yang's mother almost burst into tears. She cried and pulled Old Yang beside her, almost kneeling down to Qing Li. "Son, tell me the truth. I didn't steal or rob... Did you win it in the casino?" Old Yang guessed. The two parents were upset when they heard Yang Xiaoqian. Before he could speak, his parents accused him of stealing money and said he was a gambler. Seeing that the room full of gold and silver had been exposed in front of his parents, he probably couldn't hide it anymore. Not to mention that there was Qing Li standing next to him, threatening him with a gun.

He had already given up, so he just said to Qing Li coldly:

"You like to listen to gossip, so I'll tell you what I want to say."

"Three years ago, I got the Midas Stone."

"With this magical object in hand, I naturally wanted to improve my family's livelihood... But when I took the Midas Stone home, I accidentally found a will in my parents' room."

"My father, he is a gambler." Yang Xiaoqian said coldly:

"I was sick at home for three years, and even made a will. And it was because I saw that will that I changed my mind."

"What's written in the will?" Qiao Mu, who had been silently eating, interrupted:

"Are you the illegitimate son of Mr. Wang next door? Or were you picked up on the roadside? Floated along the river?"

Although Qiao Mu didn't know why Qing Li appeared, he liked listening to this kind of family ethics drama the most.

PS: One tael of silver in this book = 1,000 yuan.

This setting was actually mentioned in the previous article on Heyang Fucheng, but I probably forgot about it... I did some research before writing and found that the purchasing power of silver taels in different dynasties ranged from a few hundred to several thousand yuan, and sometimes even one tael = Five or six thousand.

So when I wrote about Qiao Mu defrauding the Luo family of ten thousand taels, I was quite confused.

If Qiao Mu defrauded him of 10 million yuan, it was definitely not that serious. He was from the clan in Shancheng, so it was unreasonable.

But if you want to write it down, Qiao Mu received a total of several thousand taels of silver. This number is too small and seems petty... It doesn't work either.

Maybe it's the influence of TV series or novels. There are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels in them. I feel that silver taels are not that valuable.

Chapter 304 Monsters in Golden Land

"Will?" Yang Dabai, a waiter in the restaurant, also looked surprised.

He didn't know what his gambling father's will was three years ago...but the current appearance of his younger brother Yang Xiaoqian made him feel a little strange.

There is countless gold and silver hidden in the tile-roofed house, and he is secretly the boss behind Shanzhen Tower, but he keeps it secret from his family members under the same roof.

As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, and it is only human nature to not want to tell others about magical objects such as the Philosopher's Stone.

He just kept his wealth to himself, and lived with him for three years as if nothing had happened. He also gave his brother, who was a helper in a restaurant, some gold as a reward... Yang Dabai really didn't know what his brother was thinking.

"Did this will change him?" Yang Dabai held his breath and listened.

Then I heard my brother gritting his teeth and saying slowly:

"In that will... I divided the family's chickens, ducks, and vegetable garden eighty-two, eighty percent to my brother, and two percent to me!"

After the words fell, no one spoke in the room for a long time, and it was quiet.

Not shocked, mainly a little speechless.

"That's it, that's it?" Qiao Mu was shocked.

"Oh, you are an outsider, so naturally you don't know the importance of this matter." Yang Xiaoqian sneered at the corner of his mouth:

"That's eighty-two! Eighty-two!"

"I will leave this big tile-roofed house at home to my brother, as well as the chickens and ducks... What can I get?" Yang Xiaoqian couldn't help but feel emotional.

Qiao Mu was even more speechless and pointed at the gold and silver in the room:

"You have a bit of gold and stone on hand, and you have countless gold and silver that are inexhaustible, and then you have a falling out with your parents because of the 80-20 share of the chicken and duck property?"

Not to mention that gold is made by turning stones into gold, but those silvers are all genuine.

Mother Yang was originally worried that her youngest son had stolen something, but now it seems that this is not the case. It seems that... brothers are not getting along?

Mother Yang also quickly said:

"Your brother has always been generous. We are all members of the same family. As long as you open your mouth, why do you have to make such an unpleasant scene?"

"...Yes." Yang Dabai felt his heart was feeling stuffy for no reason, and whispered;

"That's because dad is sick and confused. If you tell me, I will definitely agree with you."

"Are you generous?" Yang Xiaoqian laughed dumbly:

"Do I care about this mere family property?"

"What I care about is the relationship between father and son, mother and son!"

"As the saying goes, when a bird is about to die, its cries are mournful, and when a man is about to die, his words are also kind. My father's will when he was seriously ill exposed his deepest thoughts."

"Between us two brothers, after all, there is a difference between priority and severity, or eighty-two!"

Gambler Lao Yang was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the other hand, Qing Li next to him said quietly:

"You have two small tile-roofed houses at home."

"As you just said, one is yours and the other is your parents'."

"You keep saying that your parents have a preference for your two brothers, but if you prefer your brother, how come you are like this?"

Gambler Lao Yang glanced at Qing Li gratefully and said with a wry smile:

"Actually, I was ill and had a fever and thought I was going to die, so I made the will."

"I was thinking at the time, Dabai, as my elder brother, became sensible early on. He started working as a helper in a restaurant very early to support the family. Sometimes, the money he earned had to wipe the butt of me, a gambling dog."

Speaking of this gambler, Old Yang blushed.

"So when I was seriously ill, I thought in my heart that I have treated Dabai badly all these years."

"It's really inappropriate for a father like us to be unable to hold a bowl of water evenly."

"This will is 82% true. It is indeed true. In fact, it is just to compensate your brother."

But this explanation did not satisfy Yang Xiaoqian. Instead, he sneered at this moment:

"Compensation, right? Okay."

At this time, he was not even afraid of Qing Li who threatened him, and pointed at the two boxes filled with silver in the secret room.

"Come on, let me count them for you."

"I am twenty this year, and I depend on you for food and clothing."

"Eating is worth twenty cents a day, which means seven or eight taels of silver throughout the year. In twenty years, it's around one hundred and fifty taels."

"There are also clothing and other daily expenses, one year..."

"When I was eight years old, I fell ill and couldn't leave my bed. My mother took care of me for three days, and here we count it as three taels."

"When I was twelve years old, I broke my leg..."

"...My parents have raised me for twenty years and now, all my expenses are in these two boxes."

Yang Xiaoqian stretched out his legs and gently kicked the two boxes containing silver, and said in a cold voice:

"Three hundred taels on the left, mother, keep it."

"Two hundred taels on the right side, dad, keep it."

"This is my compensation to my parents for these years. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"
