Mountain village beauty: Brother, don't stop!

Chapter 48: Chapter 48 The God of Wealth Arrives

Wang Hao listened and felt a rush of joy. County leaders truly were county leaders; they thought of everything so thoroughly, unlike Chen Village’s timid lot.

They would take chicken feathers as a token of authority and only knew how to oppress the villagers.

Wang Hao didn’t harbor any illusions about making a lot of money; he just wanted to get rid of the trouble.

"Fine, if you’ve taken a liking to them, take them away," he said.

Wang Hao handed over the bag he was holding.

"I see these centipedes are rare species, a thousand each,"

the man said as he looked through them.

"If you have the Red Giant Dragon Centipedes, the price is even higher. No matter their size or if they’re dead or alive, each is fifty thousand!"

Fifty thousand each?

Wang Hao was stunned after hearing this; he hadn’t expected these creatures to be so valuable.

Each of these four bags of centipedes had at least one hundred and fifty, plus there were four Red Giant Dragon Centipedes.

According to these centipede collectors’ rates, that would net him eight hundred thousand.

At that moment, a young man who seemed to be the leader came up to Wang Hao.

"Hello, sir, my name is Wang Ming, and I am a researcher at the laboratory,"

Wang Ming said, turning to point at the four bags of centipedes.

"We usually don’t collect centipedes in such large quantities, at most a hundred or so. We didn’t budget for this much, so the funds we applied for are insufficient."

Considering the money was unexpected for Wang Hao to begin with, he didn’t want to be greedy.

"How much do you have?"

Wang Hao asked with a smile.

"We... we only have five hundred thousand. How about this? We take two bags first, and for the remaining two, we’ll come back with the money later. Is that okay with you?"

Wang Hao was shocked inside; five hundred thousand was also good! He’d take as much as they’d give; he’d let them handle the rest.

"Forget it! Five hundred thousand then; take them all. The extra is my contribution to your laboratory,"

Wang Hao said. He was worried they might not secure more funds and might not return to buy the rest. He’d find it difficult to deal with so many centipedes himself.

If they bit someone, he would have to foot the medical bills.

So he simply decided to do them a favor and let them take everything.

"Really?"

Wang Ming was taken aback after hearing this, hardly believing his ears.

He never expected Wang Hao, a genuine farmer, to be so generous.

Thirty thousand, just given away like that!

He was more generous than wealthy magnates. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and load it into the car,"

Wang Hao urged as he quickly helped them load the bags.

For Wang Hao, the farther away these creatures were, the better. If they escaped again, it would be a real hassle.

In fact, at first, Wang Ming had some doubts about Wang Hao’s word, but seeing Wang Hao so readily helping them load the car.

He couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim, "What a grand vision!"

Afterward, Wang Ming transferred the money to Wang Hao and also handed him two cards.

One was his business card, simply containing a name and phone number.

The other card bore the logo of a certain laboratory and a series of numbers in the bottom right corner.

"This is our laboratory’s card, which is only given to individuals who make special contributions to the lab, one per year,"

"This card is for your use or your immediate family’s use only. With this card, you can pick anything you want from our lab,"

Wang Ming said with a hint of mystery.

"Inside, there are drugs to help men; guaranteed to keep you strong, improving with each battle. We’ve tried them ourselves; the results are good!"

He said, smirking.

Of course, Wang Hao understood what kind of medicine it was and gave Wang Ming a knowing smile.

Researchers surely could study and create anything.

After Wang Ming left, the villagers swarmed around Wang Hao, their eyes glued to his pockets, as if their eyeballs were about to fall in.

"Wang Hao, have you been possessed by the Mountain God?"

One villager asked incredulously, his eyes filled with bewilderment as he looked at him.

"What?"

Wang Hao was taken aback by the question.

"Yeah, of course, it must be the Mountain God possessing him. How else could he control centipedes at will and not react when bitten?"

The villagers began to gossip about him, occasionally recalling the scene of the village chief getting bitten.

Wang Hao suddenly realized why he didn’t turn dark like the village chief after being bitten—it might be because of the green dragon inside him.

But he couldn’t tell them that; if the people from the laboratory earlier found out,

they would definitely capture him for centipede research.

"What Mountain God? The centipedes had used up all their venom on the village chief; by the time they got to me, there was none left! Stop overthinking this and disperse, everyone!"

Wang Hao hurried home while trying to deflect their concerns.

When he got home, Wang Dazhu, Huang Yufen, and Zheng Cailian were all waiting for him at the door. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Upon seeing Wang Hao, Huang Yufen immediately rushed up to him.

"Haozi, are you alright?"

Huang Yufen felt all over Wang Hao, worried that her son might be injured.

Zheng Cailian wore a face full of concern too, but fearing they might see through her, she just silently followed behind the elders.

"I’m fine!"

Wang Hao smiled at Zheng Cailian, signaling that his words were meant for her too.

After hearing this, all three of them exhaled in relief.

Wang Hao took a card out of his pocket and said excitedly to the three people,

"Look, this is fifty thousand! I, Wang Hao, have made money again!"

Huang Yufen took the card and looked at her son with a puzzled face, "These centipedes are worth fifty thousand?!"

Seeing his mother’s half-believing expression, Wang Hao couldn’t help but laugh.

"Old mom, this is the name card from the laboratory. The lab people just took away those centipedes. Oh, those centipedes are so valuable—they sold for fifty thousand."

After hearing this, all three were shocked.

"Fifty thousand?"

Wang Dazhu exclaimed.

"If the centipedes in the mountains are so valuable, I’ll go catch some too."

As soon as he said this, the other three laughed.

"You old fool, just stay at home. You can barely walk steady, let alone catch centipedes."

Huang Yufen gave him a look and turned to study the card happily.

"Old dad, it’s too dangerous up in the mountains. I nearly lost my life; you should rest easy at home and recuperate."

Wang Hao said comfortingly.

"Oh!"

Wang Dazhu seemed disappointed, cursing his own unreliable legs that still hadn’t recovered.

"Cailian, you take this money. Thanks for helping my mom and dad just now. If it weren’t for you, they might have ended up in the hospital because of Li Guang."

Wang Hao handed a wad of money to Zheng Cailian, giving her a wink as he did.

"This... How can I take your money?"

Zheng Cailian hastily declined, having helped merely because she disapproved of Li Guang’s actions.

"Cailian, take it. You’ve also helped Haozi a lot with renting the land and it’s tough raising a child alone. Haozi giving you the money, just accept it. Consider it a contribution to Ya Ya’s education,"

Huang Yufen also urged her.

"Then thank you, Auntie,"

Zheng Cailian said, holding the money tightly, feeling grateful as she glanced at Wang Hao.

"Since Haozi has returned, I’ll be going home now."

Seeing that it was getting late and feeling a bit awkward to stay any longer, Zheng Cailian suggested leaving.

After Zheng Cailian left, Wang Dazhu and Huang Yufen went into the kitchen to start making dinner.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Hao quickly chased after her.

Zheng Cailian knew Wang Hao would come after her, so she didn’t go far and waited for him by the big tree at the entrance of the village.

As soon as they met, they embraced each other.

Zheng Cailian wrapped her arms around Wang Hao’s waist, kissing him ceaselessly, her tears flowing down.

"Do you know? When I heard you went to catch centipedes, I was worried to death. If anything had happened to you, how could I go on?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful in the future. I won’t let you worry. Let me walk you home,"

Wang Hao held her tender body in his arms, his heart surging, and he couldn’t resist sliding his hand inside Zheng Cailian’s clothes...
