The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

It's impossible for such a big shot to be involved in such a large business without connections in various government departments.

If you report it yourself, even if it's done secretly, the other party might receive the news and run away, or they might not care at all.

They'll still be thinking about finding you and killing you.

So let's not cause any unnecessary trouble and just quietly make a fortune.

I really can't control this matter; the people in the black market know that too.

Many families would go to buy some grain, and everyone would turn a blind eye.

As long as it's not too excessive, it's fine.

It seems they cracked down hard next year, arresting 70,000 people in one night.

That means they went too far, so they were severely punished.

Yang Dalin took stock of the space's finances: 123 large goldfish, 408 small goldfish, more than 7 yuan in banknotes, various receipts, and countless supplies.

Good heavens, the gold and money alone are worth over 20. But considering this is such a large black market, its weekly turnover is about the same.

The black market not only organizes people to sell things, but more importantly, they also sell a large amount of housing supplies.

Of course, there's probably a significant portion of the cost of the goods sold that's included, so it's not pure profit. Unfortunately, Yang Dalin pocketed it all.

This amount of money is indeed a lot for an individual, but for those big capitalists who haven't fled yet, it may not be much at all.

Some capitalists may receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in dividends alone each year.

Like Lou Zi's father, Lou Bancheng, he could probably get millions in dividends a year.

They have accumulated a great deal of wealth.

They're incredibly rich.

This amount of money might be small for them.

Yang Dalin had so much money, but he didn't dare to spend it lavishly, which troubled him a bit.

Gold and money are fine, but those bills are the real headache.

Some bills have an expiration date; a year's bill is fine, but many are only for one month, which is quite troublesome.

If you can't spend it by the due date, it becomes worthless paper.

However, Yang Dalin thought to himself that he would rather it become waste paper than spend it recklessly.

If someone discovers that a large number of receipts have been sold, the other party might track them down to me.

Alas, there is nothing more painful in life than having money but not being able to spend it.

It seems I must make the most of this life.

I was only thirty-four years old when the reform and opening up began, a time when I was in the prime of my life.

In the future, find more like-minded and suitable second-generation rich kids to befriend, hide behind the scenes, make some money, and build more connections.

Hehe, that's someone no one dares to mess with.

Yang Dalin couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. When it got light, he washed his face and went out for breakfast.

First, go to the repair shop and continue learning how to repair cars.

I didn't sleep all night, but I'm still full of energy. I'm still young and can endure it.

This morning I followed the car on a short trip, but it turned out to be going to the Xishan area, which was inconvenient for me.

There are many small coal pits over there.

Perfect for disposing of a body.

Yang Dalin drove his car, following the car in front of him.

It took more than an hour to reach a coal mine in Xishan.

The other party provided lunch. There were many small mine shafts that had been privately dug in the past on the other side of the nearby factory.

Tian Ge and the others went to sit and drink tea, while Yang Dalin suggested that he go out and hunt some pheasants and rabbits in the vicinity.

The coal mine leaders wanted to send someone to follow him, but Yang Dalin said no, he wouldn't go far.

I'll just wander around the neighborhood.

The other party's leader said, "Then be careful. There used to be a lot of private mines over there. Don't fall in."

Take each step firmly, making sure your feet are on the ground.

Pay special attention to areas where there are no weeds, especially around the entrances of many old small mines.

Yang Dalin agreed, and then strolled out on his own.

Brother Tian knew that his apprentice was still young and liked to play.

Ignore him.

Tian Ge originally wanted to go too; men of all ages enjoy this kind of sport.

As a result, Yang Dalin said that hunting pheasants and rabbits was a job best done by one person, otherwise he would alert the prey.

Enraged, Brother Tian kicked him, telling him to hurry up and not go too far.

They'll be back for dinner in a little over an hour at most.

Yang Dalin readily agreed.

Once you exit the coal mine gate and head west, you'll see a lot of dumped coal ash.

Yang Dalin collected a large pile of coal ash. He walked around the coal ash and found a small hill with many mine shafts dug at its foot or on its slope.

Most of them were dug before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The entrances are relatively conspicuous, and it's not very likely that you'll fall directly into a mine shaft if you pay attention.

In the past, because there were few machines for mining coal, very few mines were dug vertically downwards.

Many of them have slopes that go down little by little, so Yang Dalin wasn't too worried.

Yang Dalin took out his slingshot, wandered around, and found a relatively hidden, sloping mine shaft. He crawled inside and found it to be quite large.

Bending over, I walked to the innermost part of a fork in the road. The hole was quite deep, and I released the corpses from the space one by one.

Then, wearing a mask, he touched each and every one of the corpses.

Nothing can be left except clothes.

Then he buried all the bodies with a lot of coal ash and cleaned up his footprints.

He then crawled out, bent over.

The height of this old-fashioned mine shaft is really not impressive.

I heard that before liberation, many people had to crawl out of the mines.

Yang Dalin gained a deep understanding after this experience.

I wiped away all traces of myself entering the mine and cleaned the dirt off my body.

Now that there are no corpses in the space, I don't feel so disgusted anymore.

Otherwise, I'll always feel uneasy.

Yang Dalin slowly began hunting.

The place is overgrown with weeds, and there are few people living nearby. Apart from the miners who go to work, there aren't many people who come here.

Yang Dalin found several burrows of rabbits in no time.

It's probably because very few people come here.

This area isn't suitable for growing crops, and there aren't many villages around.

Miners are exhausted every day, and when they finally have a day off, they either visit their families or take a good rest. Who has time as free as him to catch rabbits?

So the rabbit population here is decent; there aren't any large forests on the mountain, only sparse bushes or small trees.

So Yang Dalin not only caught more than a dozen rabbits, but also a lot of pheasants.

Seeing that it was almost time, Yang Dalin prepared to go back.

It's really impressive that you've gained so much in just over an hour.

Yang Dalin went to the coal plant, took out two rabbits and three pheasants, and asked the canteen staff to add a dish to their table.

I said I'd invite my colleagues last time, but I couldn't. This time, I borrowed a chef's help to cook it, so I can say I've kept my promise.

Of course, after this processing, many people realized that there were many wild rabbits on that small coal hill outside.

Next time Yang Dalin comes, he'll probably get beaten up by the coal miners.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's impossible to keep it completely secret.

After all, he was carrying a large sack, which many people had seen.

Yang Dalin couldn't hide it anymore, and he didn't want to hide it either.

As for the body in that mine, most people wouldn't actually go in to check it. Even if someone did find it, it would probably be years ago.

We had a happy lunch at someone's factory.

The coal mine's specialty is that it loads each truck with plenty of good coal.

They also provided each driver with a sack of good coal.

This is a local specialty, and also a benefit for drivers nowadays.

No one refused. On the way back in the afternoon, everyone made a detour, turned back to their neighborhood, and unloaded their bags at home.

Then we agreed on a meeting point, and drove back to the station from there.

Yang Dalin's house happened to be the furthest away, so their car went to Yang Dalin's house first, and also let Brother Tian come with them to get acquainted with the place.

We'll go back to Tian Ge's place to unload the coal.
