Yang Guang didn’t answer right away, deliberately prolonging the suspense. He looked at Qi Yingxue and said, “Miss. Qi, why don’t you tell them?”
“You?”
Qi Yingxue gave him a sideways glance and realized that he was intentionally making them wait. So she quickly told Xu Ling and Wu Xiaolian whose curiosity was now piqued, “I bought that gold nugget from him for $900,000.”
“What?”
The two women were both completely shocked.
“So…so much money?” Wu Xiaolian said in a voice that didn’t sound like her own.
Xu Ling was a little dumbfounded as well. She looked at Qi Yingxue. “Yingxue, is that piece of gold really worth that much? You didn’t intentionally give Yang Guang that much money, did you?”
“Of course not.” Qi Yingxue was a little offended. After glaring at her, she went on, “We went to the gold store to get a quote on the ore, and then I bought it from him at double the price. Such a large natural gold ore has a lot of value to collectors. I plan to use it as a gift.”
“You are going to give it to that…”
Before she had a chance to finish her sentence, Qi Yingxue interrupted her. “Don’t ask so many questions. You just need to know that I am giving it to someone else.”
“Okay, fine.”
Xu Ling knew that she didn’t want to talk about it, so she changed the subject. “No wonder Yang Guang said that he is rich. He got $900,000. at one time. That is indeed a lot.”
Yang Guang laughed and didn’t notice that anything was out of sorts. So he said, “It will be no problem for us to build a greenhouse. Shall we start our get-rich plan of planting vegetables?”
“Yes we can.” Xu Ling nodded and then asked, “What about your Tianma?”
Yang Guang smiled. “That’s easy. There is a cave in the back of the mountain. I looked it up on the internet that this thing likes shade, so it’s best to plant it in a cave.”
To plant the Tianma in the cave was significant for two reasons. One was because of the plant’s own natural preference, and the other was to keep it a secret. Because Yang Guang was in urgent need of money, he wanted to use his own special means to hasten the growth of the plant. Perhaps he could plant it successfully in a short period of time.
This would not only make money, but also win him the bet. Essentially, he would have his cake and eat it too.
After hearing what he had to say, Xu Ling nodded. “If this is the case, then let’s do it according to your ideas. I will take care of the matters regarding the greenhouse, and you can deal with the Tianma.”
“Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you later. You don’t need to scrimp on what you need to buy the greenhouse,” Yang Guang said.
When she heard what he’d said, Xu Ling looked at Wu Xiaolian, and the two of them smiled at the same time.
Then Wu Xiaolian said, “You have finally made some money. Maybe it’s better to be a bit more conservative.”
“I know. I’ll hand this money over to you later, and you can help me manage the account.”
“Huh? Me? Do you think I can?”
When Wu Xiaolian heard that, she was a little amazed and asked in astonishment.
“If not you, then who? This household belongs to the three of us.” Yang Guang smiled.
When he said that, Wu Xiaolian immediately felt a warmth in her heart.
Everyone worked together to make dinner, and soon the food was ready.
Qi Yingxue took a bite of the green vegetables and raised her head in surprise. “This tastes so good, just as good as anything the chef makes in my restaurant.”
“Yingxue is a professional gourmet. Xiaolian, this is the highest compliment she’s given you.” Xu Ling smiled.
Wu Xiaolian blushed and answered with a smile, “It’s all home cooking, nothing that special.”
“Why are you so shy about it? It’s true that your cooking is outstanding!” Yang Guang smiled.
The four of them sat around the table. Yaya was tired from playing and had already fall asleep so they didn’t need to mind her.
Qi Yingxue was really in a good mood as well. She didn’t care so much about being a lady and relaxed into eating happily.
Everyone was eating and chatting. Just as they were enjoying themselves, a disagreeable voice came from the yard. “Yang Guang, come out here.”
Hearing this voice, Yang Guang froze for a moment, before putting down his chopsticks and walking outside to see what was going on. He saw four or five people standing by the door, all of them young men.
The man in the lead looked familiar, and Yang Guang thought for a while before remembering who he was. He asked with a smile, “Aren’t you Zhou Hao from Hongqi Town? Why have you come to my house?”
“Yang Guang, I heard that you have been doing pretty well recently?” Zhou Hao narrowed his eyes and asked menacingly.
Seeing his confident attitude, Yang Guang’s heart sank, but he replied with a grin. “How is that? I heard that you are known as the number one man in Hongqi Town, and no one dares to mess with you. The one who is doing pretty well should be you.”
“You know my name, so that make things easier.”
Zhou Hao sneered and pointed his finger at Yang Guang. “Come here. Someone asked me to take off one of your legs to teach you a lesson.”
Having said this, he changed the direction of the conversation. “However, we are from the same town, and I don’t want you to be handicapped. So let’s make a deal. Give us some money to compensate us. I heard that you have made a lot of money recently.”
Yang Guang was taken aback when he heard that and asked hesitantly, “To compensate you with money…? Compensation for what?”
“Our hard work, and your leg that doesn’t need to be broken. Don’t you think you should give us some money for that?” Zhou Hao smiled.
The few minions behind him also laughed, slapping the sticks and pipes in their hands, looking completely unconcerned.
“You guys, don’t mess around.”
With a girly yell, Xu Ling strode out of the house and glared at Zhou Hao and his cohort. “Are you crazy? This is a society governed by laws. Who gives you the audacity to act like this?”
“Ouch! This girl is really pretty!”
Zhou Hao almost couldn’t move his eyes when he saw Xu Ling.
He turned to look at Yang Guang. “Kid, this isn’t your wife, is it?”
“What nonsense! Get the h*ll out now or I will call the police.”
Xu Ling’s face had turned red from anger, and she shouted loudly.
At this time, Qi Yingxue and Wu Xiaolian both walked out of the house and regarded the scene in front of them with surprise.
However, Zhou Hao and the others did not expect that there were two more beauties inside the house.
When he saw these two, Zhou Hao’s eyes almost came out of his sockets.
Then he looked at Yang Guang, seriously assessing him. “What’s your situation, kid? Why do you have so many beautiful women in your house?”
“None of your d*mn business.”
The way that he looked at the girls just now made Yang Guang feel violated, so he’d replied impatiently. Then he said, “I’m treating you with respect. If you can’t handle it, I will treat you like a ball.”
“Hey, kid, you don’t care about your legs anymore, right?”
Zhou Hao didn’t expect hat Yang Guang would be so uncooperative, and he became enraged. He also wanted to show off his strength in front of these three beauties, so he raised his fist and went straight for Yang Guang.
When they saw this, Xu Ling and the other two women let out a cry.
Yang Guang was just one man, while his opponents were four or five men. If they were to start a fight, he would no doubt be at a disadvantage.
But after their surprised cries, the three of them saw that Yang Guang’s figure was gone in a flash and outright avoided the fist that came at him. He dashed behind Zhou Hao and gave a good kick to his *ss.
Zhou Hao stumbled as a result of the kick. He couldn’t find his balance and plunged into the west side of the yard, into the abandoned pigpen.
“Zhou Hao!”
Several of his minions rushed over.
Yang Guang laughed heartily. “It’s a pity that the inside is so clean.. It would have been perfect if there was some pig sh*t left for you.”
