Chapter 200 The Return
Mrs. Zhang sighed silently. It seemed that her second son had decided to go into business in the future.

...

Sure enough, as Zhang said, there was still half a month before the New Year, heavy snow fell in the sky, and the work on the construction site came to a halt.

The old man has spoken and asked everyone to have a good New Year this year. The work on the construction site has been temporarily stopped. After being tired for most of the year, it is time to take a rest.

The villagers did not dare to sleep deeply at night, fearing that the snow would fall heavily in the middle of the night and the houses would be crushed.

The school in the village also started to have holidays, but the children were very happy.

Early in the morning, the adults began to sweep the snow accumulated on the roof, and the children also had new toys, rolling snowballs and having snowball fights, and had a great time.

The adults at home didn't stop it. It was a rare occasion for the children to be happy. They usually couldn't play in school, so they just changed their clothes when they got wet. Anyway, they also made two new cotton-padded jackets for the children this year.

But Xu Wenwu and his brothers who were studying in the town were not so lucky. Kui Wu still sent them to the town's college every day.

For this reason, Xiao Wu even complained and said something unfair.

After being scolded severely by the old man, he shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.

Yaya and Zhi'er also wanted to go out and play in the snow, but their mother said that they were still young and it would be bad if their clothes got wet and caught the wind and cold.

Now the two little guys were standing at the gate, looking eagerly at the children having fun outside.

Qibao walked over and said, "You two little carrot heads, do you want to play?"

Yaya nodded with bright eyes and said: "I think so."

Zhi'er was also nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"But let's play something different with them. How about we build a snowman?" Qibao said.

"Miss, what does the snowman look like?" Yaya asked curiously.

"Come, I'll take you to do it together." Qibao led the two little ones to the yard.

Looking at Uncle Fu who was shoveling the snow, he said, "Uncle Fu, please give me the shovel."

Uncle Fu handed the shovel to Qibao without hesitation and asked: "Miss, what do you want to do, I can help you."

Qibao said: "Uncle Fu, have you ever built a snowman?"

Uncle Fu shook his head and said: "How about your sister, teach me, and I will pile it up next time."

So the old man and the three children were busy in the yard. When the old man saw this, he also wanted to play with his granddaughter, so another person joined in.

Wang laughed and scolded: "This damn old man, he wants to play like a child, and he doesn't feel ashamed."

From time to time, you can hear the childlike laughter of Zhi'er and Yaya in the yard.

Qibao also found a few things to replace the snowman's eyes, nose, and mouth.

"Young lady is so amazing!" Yaya clapped her little hands and said with a blushing face.

The old man said: "I will also build one with my own hands for you to see."

He took the shovel from Qibao's hand and started to pile it up.

"Grandpa Xu, your pile is so ugly. It's not as good-looking as Sister Qibao's pile." Zhi'er covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hey! You still think it's ugly, so watch it, I'll make a nicer one." The old man said with interest.

The women are preparing the things they need for the New Year in the house. This year's couplets will be written by the eldest brother. All he needs to do is prepare red paper.There are also pastries that need to be prepared in advance.

The white wolf no longer runs into the mountains and has been staying at Xu's house because it is warm.

The old man also booked a large round table in the town two days ago. This year, in addition to the two in-laws, there are also He Jie, his mother and son from the school, and the Twelve Guards, dozens of people!There are also a lot of servants, and there is no room for them at the two tables at home.

Just three days before the Chinese New Year, Master Qian came back with Kui Wu's four brothers.

The old man was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Boss Qian, you are back. You have been gone for three or four months and you haven't even written a letter. Everyone is still thinking about you!"

"Old man, you don't know, our trip has been full of twists and turns!" Boss Qian said.

"What's going on? Come into the house to warm yourself up and speak slowly!" the old man said.

After a few people entered the house, Zhi'er saw Boss Qian and shouted "Dad!" in surprise, and ran towards Boss Qian with his short legs flying.

Boss Qian also smiled and bent down to pick up his youngest son, and said with a smile: "Zhi'er, I haven't seen you for so long, but you have gained a lot of weight. Do you miss your father?"

"Have!"

Mrs. Qian also had a smile on her face when she saw her husband coming back.

Wang said: "It'll be good to come back! Everyone is relieved."

The second brother also happily hugged Kui Wu and said greetings to each other.

After everyone had greeted them, they sat down in front of the fire.

The old man said: "Boss Qian, what do you mean by what you just said? Are you in trouble?"

Boss Qian said: "We ran into trouble. When we first arrived in Qingyun City, we were not familiar with the environment there. It was not easy to find a suitable store. After asking many people, we found a suitable store with a large area. It’s big and there are a lot of people in the center of the city.”

The old man said: "Isn't that great? This location is really suitable for business!"

Boss Qian said: "Yes, I took a fancy to this place at that time, but the location is good, and the prices of some shops are high. The owner of the shop asked for nearly 2 taels of silver!"

"Hiss! Is this shop so expensive? You can buy the biggest shop in our town for only a few thousand taels!" Ms. Wang said in surprise.

"There is no comparison between this city and the town. Although the asking price is a bit higher, I think the area is not small, and there is no second suitable shop. I was ready to bite the bullet and buy the shop, but I was sold by a A man named Chen Hu got involved."

"Then the purchase of this shop was not completed?" Uncle Xu asked.

"I bought it, but I offended someone. This Chen Hu is the adopted son of the prefect's Yamen master. He is a well-known gangster. He also has several followers. Originally, we found the owner of the shop first and asked, but this As soon as he came, he said that he liked the shop, and he quit after asking me to recognize him. How could I do that? So I argued with him for a while. "

"Oh! Boss Qian! You all know that he is Master's adopted son, why did you have a dispute with him? Your safety is the most important thing!" Wang said anxiously.

"Old madam, I didn't know that he was Master's adopted son at that time. I only found out after asking about it later!" Master Qian said.

Lao Wu also said: "I was so angry that I wanted to go up and punch him a few times. If the second brother hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten this kid to the point where his mother wouldn't even recognize him."

The second child rolled his eyes at him and said: "You still have the nerve to say that your eldest brother told us not to be impulsive when things happen, but you have turned a deaf ear to it. A strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. They are just hanging out in the city. How can you beat them?"

"What happened after that?"

"Later, Chen Hu didn't bring enough money, so he just gave us a chance. Before he left, he said harsh words and told us to wait and see. Later I found out that he was the adopted son of the master. I was worried for several days. Over a period of time, the store was renovated and ready to open, and I didn’t see this person coming to cause trouble, so I thought the matter was over.”

As soon as the Xu family heard this, they knew that what happened next would not be as simple as they thought. A lot of things must have happened next.

"Did he go to the store to cause trouble again?" Uncle Xu asked anxiously.
