The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 426: Getting Rich Overnight_1

After spending a crazy night with Qi Mengru, Li Qing yawned his way onto the construction site the next morning.

He had thoroughly explored Qi Mengru, the noble and icy headmistress, last night.

Qi Mengru’s level of cooperation was exceptionally high.

Moreover, she knew even more positions than Li Qing did.

Last night, from the living room to the bedroom, and then to the bathroom, traces of their love were everywhere.

They had returned late last evening, and with all that vigorous activity, they hadn’t slept at all.

Although Li Qing really wanted to sleep deeply in the morning, to sleep for an eternity,

he was worried about being detected and affecting Qi Mengru’s career, so he left early.

At the entrance to the construction site, Tang Jianhua offered a cigarette to Li Qing, "What’s up with you? Why do you look so out of sorts?"

"Uncle Tang, you know I don’t smoke," Li Qing declined Tang Jianhua’s offer, saying, "I didn’t sleep last night."

Tang Jianmin immediately flashed a knowing look, chuckling, "Although you young people have strong constitutions, you still need to exercise some restraint, otherwise, when you reach our age, you’ll regret it."

"Some elders say that the amount of food a person eats and the number of times they do ’that thing’ are both predetermined—the one who finishes their food first, goes first, and the one who finishes ’that thing’... well, they go too soon."

Li Qing was immediately covered in black lines,

So this honest man doesn’t seem so honest after all.

His sayings were just too systematic.

"Uncle Tang, you really misunderstood. I went to the northern mining area yesterday and got back too late," Li Qing explained.

He had made up an excuse on the fly, but unexpectedly, Tang Jianmin pressed on, "What did you do there?"

"The Qi Family has some business interests there too, so I went for a visit," Li Qing continued to fabricate.

Tang Jianmin’s eyes suddenly brightened, "Looks like there’s another big project in the works?"

"Uncle Tang, just focus on your current work for now, we’ve got more projects this year than we can finish, and there’s also the dam waiting for us," Li Qing replied with a smile.

Tang Jianmin nodded, "That’s true as well."

"By the way, Uncle Tang, I need to go out for a few days, so I’ll need you to pay more attention to things at the site," said Li Qing, "Before I go, I’ll leave some money behind. With this heatwave being so persistent, make sure there’s plenty of ice water and popsicles for everyone to prevent heatstroke."

"Leave what money? It’s not going to cost much. I’ll handle it," Tang Jianmin raised his hand and said, "You’ve set our salaries so high, everyone is already a bit jealous. Give me a chance to show my appreciation."

"Don’t look at me like that, I mean it,"

"No worries, I’ll give you the money and you can show your appreciation," Li Qing laughed, "You need to keep an eye on the construction site for me and manage the workers. Getting a high salary for that is justified, it makes sense. Let’s do it my way on this."

Having received an unexpected eight million the night before in a different manner, Li Qing was now truly wealthy in every sense of the word.

Eight million was a concept he once dared not even dream of.

But now that sum was quietly lying in his bank account.

Indeed, windfalls always come from unexpected quarters.

This windfall had allowed Li Qing to fully realize sudden wealth. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Under Li Qing’s strong insistence, Tang Jianmin finally gave up on continuing to argue about the money.

After checking around the construction site, Li Qing returned to the village.

The courtyard was quiet, everyone was busy with their own business.

Li Qing poured himself a cup of tea and lay down on the stone steps to replay the previous day’s events in his mind. Only after confirming that even if Qi Guoyuan turned against him and retaliated, he could withstand it for a while, did he start considering what to do with the money.

Now that he had money, the living conditions of him and the women around him definitely needed to be improved.

He split the eight million in half, saving four million.

With the remaining four million, he could first buy a big house in the city and have it furnished, one million would be more than enough.

"Sister-in-law has never wanted to leave the village, so we could renovate the house again."

"Even if we don’t live there, there’ll be a place to come back to when we return, and two hundred thousand should be enough."

"Also, give sister-in-law an extra two hundred thousand for daily expenses."

"And Tian Yue’e, Yu Lan, and Wu Xingxing, three hundred thousand for each of them."

"As for the other women..."

Li Qing found it quite troublesome. Women like Lu Furong and Guan Lin had their own families; would giving them money directly cause any issues?

After some thought, Li Qing decided to play it by ear, to first ask for their opinions.

If there were no problems, she’d give each one a hundred thousand to start with.

Doing the math, Li Qing reckoned she’d still have around seven or eight hundred thousand in pocket money for herself.

With that, she could do something else, which should be completely sufficient.

Suddenly, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Han Mei, wearing tight jeans, walked in carrying a bundle of vegetables.

"Qingzi, when did you get back?" Han Mei asked in surprise.

"Just got back a little while ago." Li Qing patted the seat beside her, "Sister-in-law, take a break first."

"Are you trying to take advantage of me again?" Han Mei cast a sidelong glance and retorted, "I’m still busy, wait a moment."

"These vegetables are all old, I need to deal with them quickly and pickle them first."

"Sister-in-law, I really have something to tell you," Li Qing said with a smile.

Han Mei’s eyes softened, and she looked at Li Qing with mild irritation, "Are you really serious, or is it just some ruse?"

"I’m serious!" Li Qing exclaimed earnestly.

Han Mei chuckled and lightly twisted her hips like willows brushing in the wind, then sat down beside Li Qing. "Go ahead."

Li Qing took out her phone, opened the payment message, and handed it to Han Mei. "Sister-in-law, take a look at this."

"Six hundred... six hundred thousand?!" Han Mei’s complexion changed drastically, and she exclaimed in shock.

"And there’s another two hundred thousand below!" Li Qing added.

Li Qing was stunned, looking at Li Qing, "Where did you get so much money from?"

How to explain this was something that had already troubled Li Qing for a while.

But after much deliberation, she decided to come clean with Han Mei.

However, it was okay to keep some things secret from others and not be completely forthright.

"Sister-in-law, this money, it seems I’ve indeed stumbled upon some shady opportunity." Li Qing explained the entire situation to Han Mei, "Although it sounds unbelievable, it’s indeed true."

"Sister-in-law, it’s enough for you to know this, you mustn’t tell anyone."

After Li Qing finished her story, Han Mei was completely dumbfounded.

"That ability the old Daoist passed on to you... it’s a bit frightening." After a while, Han Mei muttered.

Regarding the origin of Black Arrow, Li Qing made the old Daoist the scapegoat.

This was the only thing she kept secret from Han Mei about the whole affair.

The truth was too unbelievable to share.

Li Qing was worried it would scare Han Mei.

"But what if you’ve angered the Qi family with your actions now, what will happen?" Han Mei asked anxiously.

Li Qing shrugged, "But it seems like I didn’t have much of a choice. If I hadn’t luckily learned a few tricks, I might have been carved up by them already."
