"Why do you like money so much?" the middle-aged man asked again.

"Because money is a good thing, I like it, it's okay." Zhang Li Xiaohu snorted.

The middle-aged man looked at him silently and said, "People can deceive everyone, but they can't deceive themselves."

"Then forget it, let's spend it here all the time." Zhang Li Xiaohu said angrily.

The middle-aged man no longer urged him, but drank tea silently.

Spring goes and autumn comes. Zhang Li Xiaohu doesn’t know how long he has been sitting here, but he feels that he is losing something very important.

He couldn't say it, but it seemed to be very important to him.

"Why do you have to ask me about this?" Zhang Li Xiaohu couldn't help asking.

"Because you can't answer me." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Everyone has secrets that cannot be told to others. You are the same. You are willing to pay a huge price for this, and you will not say it even if you can't leave here."

Zhang Li Xiaohu was silent for a moment and said, "But now I am willing to say it again."

"This surprised me." The middle-aged man said in surprise: "Why are you willing to tell your secret?"

"Because I have to face it after all. In fact, everyone who knows my past knows this, but they dare not mention it in front of me, so I can escape." Zhang Li Xiaohu chuckled, his fox face was a little thrilling.

"My mother is a prostitute." Zhang Li Xiaohu looked down at the teacup that had no tea anymore. "If some children of the aristocratic family are not talented, they can be a playboy, and that's how my father is."

"Just like all clichéd narrative stories, my father went to the brothel and gave my mother a prostitute."

"There are medicines in brothels that can prevent them from getting pregnant, but for some reason she still got pregnant with me."

When Zhang Li Xiaohu said this, he looked mocking: "Maybe it was deliberately trying to jump into the dragon gate."

"Anyway, she went to find my dad and asked me to take responsibility."

"My father is a romantic man, how could he care about this? Besides, he is just a prostitute. If a girl is pregnant, who knows if it is his?"

"He asked someone to drive my mother away. I don't know what I'm thinking. She should have aborted me, but she still gave birth to me."

"She didn't go to find my father anymore. Maybe she gave up. She went to pick up the customers in the first month of giving birth, and I threw it to a prostitute who was old and despicable. She took care of her."

Zhang Li Xiaohu sighed: "It's really a miracle that I can survive."

"When she was a child, she was very cold to me. No matter whether I was hungry or thirsty, she wouldn't take a glance. She just gave some money every month to the brothel as my living expenses for staying there."

"She went to make money with those Enkes, and when she made money, she went to bet on big things, but after all, she was my mother, and I didn't blame her."

"The change happened when I was five years old. People from the Zhang Li family found me. You may not know that people from the Zhang Li family are a bit special. They decided at a glance that I was from the Zhang Li family." Zhang Li Xiaohu pointed at his fox face with a little pointed chin.

"For some reason, they did not threaten the woman. That woman bargained with the people of the Zhang Li family that day, and bargained in front of me, treating me like a piece of goods." He smiled nervously, and sadness flowed in his eyes.

"In the end, the price was agreed, and the Zhang Li family members paid 10,000 Xuan coins to take me away, and that woman could get 10,000 Xuan coins."

"She had a smile on her face and asked me to leave with the people from Zhang Li's family."

"I asked her if the price would be too cheap?"

"She said she wanted to sell it to a higher price, but the other party refused to raise the price. She thought the price was OK. She looked regretful on her face and said, "It's a pity that you haven't come again. Otherwise, if you give birth to another one and sell another 10,000 Xuan coins, you won't have to worry about this life."

Zhang Li Xiaohu paused at this point and restrained all the emotions on her face, "From that day, I have nothing to do with her."

"I don't want to be the most powerful monk, I want to be the richest person in the world. I want her to know what kind of God of Wealth she sold!"

...

...

Ye Lai Tianxiang still couldn't do anything. If her tongue was gone, she might never hear her voice again.

She hates her voice, but is afraid to lose it.

This emotion is complicated.

Later she had to speak, because she didn't say anything, and everything was gone. When the sound came out, the family's doting returned to her.

She doesn't want to lose the care of her loved ones.

She kept singing and singing.

Until her voice was hoarse, she still sang desperately, and her voice began to smoke until it once started to burn.

She lost her voice.

Parents and grandma all watched her in fear and left.

She became mute, just like her sister, losing all her love.

"What else can I do without my throat?" she asked herself.

She smiled sadly, "I'm useless."

She pulled out the dagger that had tried to cut off her tongue, pressed it on her heart, and prepared to end her miserable life.

But she stopped because she felt unwilling.

"Will I die without sound?" she asked herself, feeling a little ridiculous, "If this is the case, my life in Yelai Tianxiang would be too ridiculous."

"I can't die!"

...

...

Time is silent.

Under the guidance of his grandfather, Xiong Feixiu gradually grew into a qualified head of the family.

When grandpa died later, he actually took over the mountain of burden, and his hunched back never straightened.

He also survived several crises.

The Xiong family grew and grew in his hands.

He never married him for the rest of his life, and the children of the Xiong family respected him very much.

But he was always frivolous.

Hundreds of years later, his life span has come to an end.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar family children who were kneeling all over the ground.

He stared at the ceiling blankly, waiting for the arrival of the longevity ghost.

“Is this how my life is?”

"The Xiong family has not declined in my hands. Such a life seems to be good, but why do I feel unwilling to give up?"

He frowned slightly.

"Maybe...maybe...it's because I died after I was fifteen."

"Diet at the moment when he became the head of the family."

"The life I don't want is the life I want, and it's no longer the domineering Xiong Feixiu."

"How can you be so selfish as your grandfather and parents if you don't be the head of the Xiong family? How can you be so selfish?"

"But what should I do? Is my life ruined like this?"

He vaguely saw the longevity ghost emerging, he chuckled softly, and he got the answer: "I can be the head of the Xiong family, but I can only do it my way, otherwise I would rather not do it!"
