Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 172: Brother Bei’s Renown Resounds Through the Heavens

Chen Xiaobei was taken aback, initially thinking it was just the sunlight playing tricks on his eyes. But as the orange hue in his vision deepened, he realized there truly seemed to be something buried at the bottom of the pond.

However, it’s too far away. With my current abilities, there’s no way I can see it clearly. But one thing’s for sure, there’s definitely something buried in there. After all, that light is golden and shimmering, just like a treasure.

In an instant, Chen Xiaobei’s interest in the place was piqued. He stated flatly, "Boss Shen, whether you have money or what kind of car you drive is completely irrelevant. Just tell me one thing: are you selling or not? Name your price!"

"Sell? Of course, I’ll sell." Shen Wenkai let out a sly chuckle and held up two fingers. "Two hundred million. Take it if you can, forget it if you can’t!"

"What? Two hundred million! Why don’t you just go rob someone!" Qiu Xingcai exclaimed in shock.

Even Chen Xiaobei frowned. This wasn’t a question of money; the price was simply outrageous. If he really spent two hundred million to buy this fishpond, he’d be the biggest sucker in the world.

"Fifty million!" Chen Xiaobei countered, holding up five fingers. "Boss Shen, don’t be too greedy. Fifty million is ten years of your profit, and I’ll give it to you in one lump sum. You can take this money and go enjoy your life. Wouldn’t that be better than running a fishpond out here? What do you say? If it’s a deal, I’ll go raise the money right now!"

The truth was, Chen Xiaobei was extremely interested in whatever was in that pond. Plus, Luo Qingcheng’s money was still unspent. Combined with the twenty-million-plus he had on hand, buying this pond would be a simple matter.

But Shen Wenkai just laughed. "Buddy, are you kidding me? You think you can buy my fishpond for a mere fifty million? Let me tell you, a boss once offered me three hundred million, and I didn’t even sell! If it weren’t for the fact that your girlfriend is so gorgeous, do you think I’d even be talking to you? Two hundred million, that’s the price. Of course..."

Shen Wenkai started picking at his teeth, his eyes unabashedly raking over Qiu Xingcai’s body. "If you could persuade your girlfriend to have a couple of drinks with me, I suppose I could be convinced to lower the price a little. No problem at all."

"Brother Kai, you’re absolutely right! This chick is fucking hot," one of his lackeys chimed in.

"That figure, that ass... The way it sways could kill a man!" another added.

"Hey, kid, I’d take the deal if I were you! You wouldn’t be losing out," a third jeered.

Shen Wenkai’s lackeys burst into raucous laughter. The one named Song Wei was practically doubled over. "Hey, pretty girl, why stick with this country bumpkin? Why not get with our Brother Kai! Not only is he rich, but he’s also well-endowed and knows how to use it. He’s guaranteed to keep you dripping wet every day."

BANG!

"AAAAAHHHH!"

With a bloodcurdling scream, Song Wei was sent flying by Chen Xiaobei’s kick. He sailed a good five or six meters through the air before landing in the river with a huge SPLASH.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" Song Wei roared, thrashing in the water as he endured the intense pain. "You bastard! How dare you hit me in front of Brother Kai! Do you have a death wish?"

Shen Wenkai’s face turned grim. "Brother, you’ve gone too far, haven’t you?"

"Too far?" Chen Xiaobei’s face was a mask of arrogance. "I came here in good faith to sincerely negotiate the purchase, but you people insulted my girlfriend. Did you really think I, Chen Xiaobei, am someone you can bully?"

"Shen Wenkai, I’ve changed my mind! Twenty million. Sell me the fishpond right now, or I swear I’ll demolish this shithole of yours today!"

"Insolent!" At his words, Shen Wenkai’s henchmen surged forward angrily.

"Wait!" Shen Wenkai’s heart suddenly lurched. He stared in shock and asked, "What did you say your name was?"

"Listen carefully," Chen Xiaobei said, patting his chest. "My name is Chen Xiaobei. I’m just a farmer, but I will never bow down to thugs like you! The last guy who messed with me? The grass on his grave is probably a foot high by now."

"You..." Shen Wenkai’s composure finally shattered, his legs beginning to tremble. "You... you’re not the Chen Xiaobei who killed Wei Long, are you? The Chen Xiaobei who brought investment to Shanhe Village? The one who wouldn’t even give face to Li Xinghe?!"

"Li Xinghe?" Facing Shen Wenkai’s three frantic questions, Chen Xiaobei sneered. "Your news is really outdated. I suggest you ask around and see if there’s even a Li Xinghe left in Songshan. Just yesterday, I wiped out the Li Family. Li Maochun died without a complete corpse, and Li Xinghe’s fate was too gruesome to behold!"

BOOM!

It was as if a bomb had gone off in Shen Wenkai’s head. Staring into Chen Xiaobei’s cold, arrogant, and ferocious eyes, he knew that the man wasn’t lying. After all, he made his living around Shanhe Village and had long heard of Chen Xiaobei’s fearsome reputation.

Moreover, his direct superior was Zhao Caixia from Mangniu Town. Zhao Caixia had personally warned all the local underlings to keep their eyes peeled. She had said they could provoke anyone in the world, except for Brother Bei, Chen Xiaobei. And why was that? In her own words: "I’m Brother Bei’s kinky little bitch. You lot are my dogs, so when you see Brother Bei, you’d better worship him like your grandfather." If they didn’t, even if Chen Xiaobei said nothing, Zhao Caixia herself would destroy them.

At that thought, Shen Wenkai completely broke. He scrambled forward, grabbed Chen Xiaobei’s pant leg, and cried, "Brother Bei! Brother Bei! It’s a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding! If I’d known you were the famous Brother Bei, I wouldn’t have dared to offend you, not even if you gave me ten times the courage! Sister Xia already told everyone around here about you! It’s all my fault! I was confused, I was blinded by lust! I beg you, I only ran my mouth for a moment. Please spare me! This fishpond... I don’t want it anymore! Please, take it as a gift of respect to you, Brother Bei!"

"What the hell are you all staring at?" he roared at his men, "Get on your knees!"

At his command, all the lackeys behind him dropped to their knees and began kowtowing repeatedly. Song Wei, still treading water in the pond, was so scared he nearly sank to the bottom.

Chen Xiaobei was also stunned, not expecting such a dramatic turn of events.

Zhao Caixia worked so hard to please me, practically letting me turn her inside out, all so I would look out for her, right? And this Shen Wenkai is her underling, after all. Chen Xiaobei found himself hesitating to act.

He turned, wrapped an arm around Qiu Xingcai, and asked, "I’ll leave it to you. Just say the word, and I’ll kill him." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Qiu Xingcai’s heart filled with warmth. She quickly said, "It’s alright, Xiaobei. He didn’t really say anything that bad. Just let them get up."

"Did you hear that? It’s not me who’s sparing you; my girl has decided not to stoop to your level. Now get up!" Chen Xiaobei said with a wave of his hand.

"Thank you, Brother Bei! Thank you so much!" Shen Wenkai broke out in a cold sweat, managing a fawning smile. "Brother Bei, this really was a misunderstanding. Don’t worry, I’ll get the paperwork for the fishpond right now so we can transfer the ownership immediately. And you!" he yelled to a lackey. "Hurry up and stew a couple of fish! Let Brother Bei taste what our pond has to offer."

In an instant, everyone started bustling about.

But Chen Xiaobei held up a hand. "No need to trouble yourselves. I’ll pay the twenty million as agreed. I’m not a robber. And Xingcai, go find a couple of excavators. I want this pond dug up!"
