C26 On How Beggars Get Rich
Anyang County had a per capita income of not less than twenty taels of silver a year. It was one of the top counties within the imperial court. There were wealthy merchants from all over the place gathered here. The daily flow of water was a huge amount of money.
In such an environment, many beggars gathered on the streets and alleys. There was a strong competitive relationship between their jobs, and Chen Daqiang was one of their industry leaders!
"Wow, you really are amazing." Lin Jinan praised him sincerely. He squatted on the floor and looked at his bowl with a pained expression.
Chen Daqiang raised his nose to the sky, "Of course, in terms of begging, I am at the level of a grandmaster."
He suddenly moved closer to the young man's face and picked up the mud from his face. "From now on, you will follow me. I guarantee that hunger will never catch up to you!"
"…" Lin Jinan was a man who wanted to become the richest man in the world. He slapped Chen Daqiang's hand away and said with eyes filled with the word "elder brother", "elder brother!"
The first step to becoming the wealthiest was to protect his own life and hide his abilities!
On the forty-fifth day of asking Chen Daqiang for food, Lin Jinan finally had the opportunity to become rich overnight.
Lin Jinan licked his dry lips and asked the young masters and mistresses, "Sure, give me a little something to eat. I haven't eaten for three days and three nights and I'm going to die soon …"
A well-dressed woman stopped in front of the beggar and placed a rotten nest in his broken bowl.
"Thank you Madam! I wish you good health and a long life!"
Everyone loved to listen to Lucky's words. The woman received her blessings and left with a face full of smiles.
Lin Jinan's smile collapsed, "..."
The pit of the stomach is rancid. You may have diarrhea if you eat it, but if you don't eat it, your stomach will ache!
Chen Daqiang went to ask for food on the east side of the street, while Lin Jinan was on the west side. They were a long way off, so there were no meatballs for lunch.
Lin Jinan let out a long sigh. What Chen Daqiang wanted was always the freshest. There was no moldy and smelly food, and they were all meat dishes with oily water. Lin Jinan was about to die from envy.
It was a good place to cool down under the eaves. Lin Jinan sat on the steps and used his hands to break open the nest. He tore off a small piece and ate it slowly.
"Make way, make way! Those who want to live better leave!"
There was a layer of artificial dust on the street and tiny stones flew everywhere. One of the bigger rocks hit Lin Jinan on the forehead. Lin Jinan raised his eyes angrily and his head dropped off his head.
The young master led by Ma Qun had a face that was exactly the same as Shen Zhiyang's.
"Shen Zhiyang!" Lin Jinan was stunned on the spot. The man on the horse disappeared into a black dot in the distance and disappeared right under his nose.
Chen Daqiang spat on the ground in frustration, "Those people surnamed Li are really a bunch of mad dogs."
On East Street, he ordered two chicken legs from a swill bucket in the restaurant and was about to head west when a group of riders suddenly charged out. In the chaos, he was in no hurry to avoid them, and the chicken legs fell to the ground and rolled around in circles in the dirt and dust.
"Hey, what happened to you?" He spoke indignantly to the young man, but the young man in front of him looked as if he had lost his soul. He didn't say a single word, like a rotten piece of wood, completely devoid of any spirit energy.
Lin Jinan walked forward gloomily, "I want to go to the temple now."
It was going to be dark and he would be spending the night on the street before he reached the county gates.
As night fell quickly, Lin Jinan lay on the straw as he couldn't help but recall the scene that happened during the day.
Young master was like jade, peerless in the world. The man had the same face as Shen Zhiyang. His long black hair was tied up by a expensive jade hairpin. With his jade-like skin and gorgeous clothes, it was obvious that he was a child raised in luxurious clothes and food.
Lin Jinan couldn't reply for a long time. He couldn't help but wonder if the person he saw during the day was the same person as Shen Zhiyang.
Could it be? What if the skin was similar?
Lin Jinan was struggling in a dilemma. What he liked was Shen Zhiyang's soul, not a mere face. However, that face resembled him too much. Lin Jinan dreamed about Shen Zhiyang every night.
To him, that leather bag was not a substitute, but a redemption.
"Why do you want to know about Li? Do you have a grudge against him? " The next day, Chen Daqiang, who successfully met up with his little brother, was puzzled by the young man's question.
"What's his name?" At least you'll be famous! " So it wasn't surnamed Shen …
Lin Jinan was a bit disappointed. Only now did he realize that he was grabbing Chen Daqiang's collar with a vicious expression.
His actions were that of a tyrant.
"His name is Li Xiuzhi. He is the son of the richest man in Anyang County. Normally, he would act arrogantly and be a playboy." Saying that, Chen Daqiang spat on the ground. If he had also been reincarnated in the Li family, he would definitely be a hundred times more popinjay than Li Xiuzhi!
"The son of the wealthiest man?" Lin Jinan's eyes lit up as he mulled over the two words, "Is he the only child in the Li family?"
"How do you know?" Chen Daqiang opened his eyes and glared at the other party, "He will inherit the Li Family's treasure in the future and become the next richest man in Anyang County."
Wu Junhui came up with a brilliant idea. Not only could he get close to Li Xiuzhi, he could also be the richest man and complete the quest.
