Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 305 59
They say that a man who is serious is the most charming.

Xia Yiyi, who used to focus solely on studying and research, ignoring everything else and only reading books on national prosperity, was somewhat dismissive of this.

But now, after seeing that the usually unreliable Ximen Lang also has this side to him.

Xia Yi's opinion on that statement began to change.

They were truly dazzled by Ximen Lang's brilliance of humanity and noble character, almost unable to open their eyes.

Feeling somewhat ashamed and with her heart pounding, Xia Yiyi subconsciously lowered her proud head.

He tactfully advised Ximen Lang.

“I know you’re a man of your word, but you’ve really helped them so much! More than they could ever dream of! Just like you said, they couldn’t even afford a decent meal before! They couldn’t even eat their fill of the simplest cornbread and pickled vegetables!”

"But look back now, in just over a month, in just over a month, the food security problem that still plagues countless countries is about to be solved by you!"

"This is a great achievement that benefits countless families and is immeasurably virtuous! In ancient times, you would be a saint, someone who would write books and biographies, be elevated to a divine altar, and be worshipped for generations! They have no right or justification to ask you to do even better!"

In addition, Ximen Lang not only didn't gain any benefits during this period, but also lost a lot of money. It can be said that he provided assistance to others without expecting anything in return.
This is simply a saint reborn!

Even Xia Yiyi couldn't help but be deeply moved by Ximen Lang's inherent kindness.

In the dead of night, he complained more than once.
Why couldn't I be the one who met you first?!

As for Bai Ling?

One is a freeloader, and the other is a despicable thief who stole Ximen Lang from his side!
What gives her the right to ask for more and more things?

Xia Yiyi's thinking is indeed correct.

But the problem is
“They never forced me. It was my own heart that couldn’t bear to see the suffering that the people over there were going through.”

"Just like here, there is no shortage of noble character there, and the people there are hardworking, diligent and kind!"

"But as you know, their diligence, kindness, and hard work did not bring them sufficient material security. Instead, they suffered scorn and bullying."

"The world shouldn't be like this. You reap what you sow—this is the most simple and profound truth our ancestors taught us!"

"Seeing them reminds me of ourselves back then! So no one encouraged me at all, and I didn't need anyone to encourage me!"

"It was entirely my own doing. I convinced myself, I couldn't live with my own conscience. That's why I did it."

His heartfelt words were so moving that even Xia Yiyi, who was usually so resistant, couldn't help but be touched.

Fearing that she might be persuaded by Ximen Lang, Xia Yiyi quickly interrupted.

"But the others are hardworking too. Like that guy you saw and couldn't resist, isn't he hardworking? But the result is still the same, isn't it? I haven't seen you..."

Xia Yiyi actually put the Four Nine City World together with Audebiao.

Although Ximen Lang didn't know how Xia Yiyi knew he was obsessed with that stuff, he still provided an explanation immediately. (Oddbula bananas and Sap do indeed look addictive.)
"You actually compared Odbiao to that place? How can you put the two together? They're like us, of the same language and race, blood brothers, true compatriots! And what is Odbiao anyway?"

"Of course, I personally sympathize with the tragic plight of the Odebiaos, but sympathy is just sympathy. Unless there is some great benefit, I don't think even you would so easily extend a helping hand to them, would you?" With a rhetorical question and the idea of ​​being of the same language and blood, even Xia Yiyi couldn't refute it.

They could only accept Ximen Lang's statement.

Xia Yiyi was finally convinced by him.

I was genuinely moved by Xia Yiyi's actions.

He put his arm around Xia Yiyi's shoulder and pulled her into his embrace.

Savoring the fragrance emanating from her beautiful hair, Ximen Lang continued.

"Don't worry, it's a bit chaotic over there, but overall the people are very kind. Besides, I'm not stupid. I can just recruit more people to go with us. I'm not short of money anyway. I'll just recruit hundreds of people, all of them battle-hardened veterans!"

"Plus, with my strong physique, agile skills, and calm, collected mind, you can rest assured, there definitely won't be any problems."

Just as they were getting into the conversation, their waist suddenly felt light.

The next second, the 1911 that Ximen Lang always carried with him and never let go of him was suddenly taken away by Xia Yiyi and smoothly pressed against Ximen Lang's forehead.

Ximen Lang stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.

Xia Yiyi then put away her pistol and sighed.

"Even a weak woman like me could disarm you bare-handed, take your gun, and hold it to your head. Rest assured? How can you expect me to rest assured?"

Ximen Lang was so flustered that he dared not look Xia Yi in the eye and could only keep defending himself.
"That was my carelessness; I didn't dodge. Let's do it again, so I can be prepared. I definitely won't let you succeed so easily."

Seeing that Ximen Lang still had the nerve to say something, he said...
"What do you mean? You want your enemy to give you a second chance, right?"

This left Ximen Lang speechless.

Xia Yi sighed, truly speechless at Ximen Lang's naiveté.

"With your performance, how can I possibly feel at ease? But you're as stubborn as a mule, and I can't persuade you. Let's focus on improving the hardware aspects instead."

"Perfect timing, Old Lu's family heirloom, one of the three great heirlooms, hasn't been fully collected yet. Let's take this opportunity to give it to them as well."

Upon hearing that Old Lu's family heirloom was also coming, Ximen Lang immediately perked up.

"Type 59? Type 59 is great! Type 59 is great! Really, there's no tank more suitable for that area than the Type 59!"

As he spoke, Ximen Lang counted on his fingers, listing all of 59's advantages as if they were his own treasures.

"As our first-generation main battle tank, it truly embodies the ultimate in being cheap, robust, and durable. It boasts ample firepower, powerful engine, exceptional versatility, and tremendous potential for improvement!"

"The key is that Lao Lu has a huge number of these tanks. I heard that those who have a lot of them on Lao Lu's side have started to take advantage of his family heirlooms and use the Type 59 as a target to test the power of the new tank!"

"Isn't this a waste?! Perfect, pack it all up and give it to me, I'll take it all!"
