Chapter 9

La la la la, please recommend, please **!

------------------------------------------------

It's natural for a son to ask his father for money.

Even though Yang Shouwen, who is nearly fifty years old in his two lifetimes, still decisively extended his sinful black hand to Yang Chenglie.

There's no way around it; even a hero can be stumped by a single cent!

He wanted to improve his quality of life and living standards, and every single thing required money.

Invention and creation... those things need capital to support them. If Edison hadn't had loans from banks and support from financiers, he wouldn't have been able to invent the light bulb with just his own resources. In short, for the sake of money, he was willing to play the part of a grandson.

Yang Chenglie looked at Yang Shouwen in surprise and then suddenly laughed.

So, you finally know to ask your father for pocket money?

Since Yang Shouwen regained his senses, he had been as indifferent and carefree as when he was in a daze. This made Yang Chenglie doubt whether Yang Shouwen had truly recovered! If he had really recovered, how could he be so indifferent?

Now it's good!

Yang Chenglie finally believed that Yang Shouwen had recovered.

If he hadn't recovered, how could he know the benefits of money?

He took out two strings of Kaiyuan Tongbao from his leather pouch. Don't misunderstand, two strings of Kaiyuan Tongbao don't mean two strings of money; in fact, they are only two hundred coins. But don't think it's a small amount; a bailiff in the government office only earns two hundred coins a month.

But for Yang Shouwen, two hundred coins seemed a bit too little...

"Big Brother, why the long face?"

After sending off Yang Chenglie, Yang Shouwen sat on the porch, deep in thought about one question: how to make money!

Yang Chenglie had said he wasn't allowed to get involved in the case. Yang Shouwen didn't want to argue with Yang Chenglie over something that had nothing to do with him. After all, someone dying wasn't that strange in this era.

As for the identity of the deceased and the background of the murderer, Yang Shouwen was a bit curious.

However, all of this must be based on not straining his relationship with Yang Chenglie.

Family was very important to Yang Shouwen. When he was in a daze, his grandfather, Yang Dagang, constantly emphasized the importance of family. At that time, Yang Shouwen might not have understood, but the long-term indoctrination, even with his mature mind after regaining his senses, still had a profound impact on him.

Therefore, he wouldn't confront Yang Chenglie head-on.

Yang Shi had taken the young lady out, and the house was very quiet.

While Yang Shouwen was thinking, Yang Rui came out of the bedroom. Seeing Yang Shouwen, he was initially terrified and then cautiously approached.

Yesterday, Yang Shouwen had beaten him up, which really scared Yang Rui.

He had already realized that the recovered Yang Shouwen was no longer someone he could deal with using his petty cleverness.

Yang Shouwen had practiced martial arts with his grandfather since childhood and was incredibly strong.

If he really angered Yang Shouwen, he would definitely get a severe beating, and Yang Shouwen wouldn't hold back... Even if Yang Chenglie stood up for him, would Yang Shouwen be afraid? At worst, he would just take a beating and then deal with Yang Rui again.

To be fair, Yang Rui wasn't a bad person.

He just knew he was a bastard and would inevitably face trouble in the future.

He hoped his mother could become the official wife. But if his mother found out what he had been doing, she would surely be angry.

Yang Rui felt he needed to improve his relationship with Yang Shouwen.

Yang Shouwen looked up, his eyes brightening, "Second Brother, do you have any money?"

"What for?"

Yang Rui immediately became alert, instinctively taking a step back and subconsciously covering the pouch at his waist.

"I don't have any money."

Hmm, this kid is quite alert.

Yang Shouwen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Nothing, I just thought of a way to make money."

"What way to make money?"

Yang Rui's face looked like he was constipated, but his eyes showed a glimmer of hope.

This kid is a money lover!

Yang Shouwen saw through Yang Rui's nature at a glance and sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he acted carefree and indifferent. He waved his hand and said with a look of disdain, "Why ask so many questions? Since you don't have any money, even if I tell you, you can't do it... Forget it, I'll think of other ways."

Yang Shouwen guessed correctly; Yang Rui was indeed a money lover.

Yang Rui's mother came from a humble background, and the family had no savings.

Although Yang Chenglie was the county magistrate, due to his character, he didn't exploit the people. In short, the Yang family wasn't wealthy in Changping. Besides Yang Chenglie's income, they only had the extra income from the two hundred acres of land.

If not for this, why would Yang Chenglie let Yang Rui run errands?

Yang Rui's eyes darted around. Seeing that Yang Shouwen didn't want to continue the conversation, he quickly ran forward and respectfully said, "Big Brother, don't be in a hurry, let's talk more... To be honest, I have some savings, but not much.

If Big Brother needs a large amount, I might not be able to help.

But if... I might be able to come up with an idea. I just don't know what kind of plan Big Brother has in mind and how much money is needed."

Yang Shouwen narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Rui warily.

"Second Brother, if you have money, lend me a few strings."

"A few strings..."

Yang Rui's young face showed a conflicted expression.

This guy definitely has more than a few strings!

Yang Shouwen sneered inwardly but acted indifferent. He wasn't surprised that Yang Rui had a small stash.

As the county magistrate, Yang Chenglie had considerable power.

In the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrate was responsible for various duties, far more complex than a modern police chief. Besides capturing thieves and solving cases, the county magistrate also participated in rituals, holding a high status.

Such a position inevitably had some gray income.

Yang Chenglie might not accept it, but judging by Yang Rui's behavior, he had probably received quite a bit of benefits.

As Yang Chenglie's attendant, Yang Rui handled various trivial matters and naturally had people fawning over him...

Yang Shouwen waved his hand impatiently, "I don't expect you to have much savings at your young age, so don't make noise here."

He sighed, "It's a pity that my way to make money is highly profitable, requiring only a small initial investment, and then the money will roll in. Forget it, why am I telling you this? I'll go for a walk, you stay at home."

"Big Brother, Big Brother, wait a moment."

The money lover's eyes were already gleaming with gold.

He quickly called out, grabbing Yang Shouwen's sleeve, "Big Brother, let's talk more, let's talk more... To be honest, if it's just a few strings, I can manage to gather them. But I'm worried that if I lose everything, Mother will be angry. If that happens, it will definitely be reported to Father, and I can't bear it."

You would report it to Father?

Yang Shouwen sneered but changed his expression.

"If you really have the money, I can guarantee you'll make a fortune.

How about this, we can work together, and I'll give you a ten percent share... To be honest, if you weren't my brother, I wouldn't bother. No matter what you did before, we are still family. With those few strings, you can earn ten or even a hundred times the return. Think about it, does that make sense?"

Yang Rui was smart but still just a thirteen-year-old child.

Hearing Yang Shouwen's words, he couldn't help but get excited.

"Really profitable?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Yang Shouwen spoke persuasively, making Yang Rui's heart race.

Finally, he bit his lip and took out a few strings of copper coins from his pouch, whispering, "I only have five hundred coins, but there are some more at home. Big Brother, this is all my savings, don't you dare lie to me."

"Of course, of course, why would I lie to you?"

Yang Shouwen put his arm around Yang Rui's neck and whispered.

At that moment, the young lady came in and saw the brothers hugging, her face immediately turning sour, looking unhappy.

But Yang Rui didn't care about the young lady's attitude at that moment.

"Big Brother, I'll go get the money and will be back before dark."

"Go ahead, go ahead, come back soon."
