Chapter 1474 Who exactly is Dege'er's son?
When Dege'er was going to sell grain to Dongting Lake, none was happier than Uncle Sun.
He looked at Dege with a smug expression, his eyes full of admiration.
Turning his head, he said to Sun Shan with a fawning tone tinged with smug satisfaction, "Shanzi, you have a good eye. Our De'er is destined for great things. This time, we sent him to sell grain, and he did an excellent job, hahaha..."
After saying that, he put his hands on his hips, looked up at the sky, and laughed loudly.
It's as if you can see the Sun family's third branch's residence being demolished and rebuilt, replaced by a large residence exactly like the He family's.
The courtyard was deep and secluded. Uncle Sun led his grandson and granddaughter around the Sun family mansion. They could walk around it endlessly, just like a palace.
It has everything: fish ponds, back gardens, pavilions, and terraces.
He was the most honored patriarch of the Sun family mansion, and his sons and daughters-in-law all came to pay their respects.
"Hahaha~~~Hahaha~~~"
Uncle Sun kept laughing wildly, which frightened the chubby girl and the dark-skinned girl who were eating tea and snacks, so they hugged each other.
The chubby girl's body trembled slightly. He pretended to be strong and hugged the chubby girl in his arms, comforting her in a domineering CEO-like manner: "Little Black Girl, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
The little black girl, still very frightened, said, "Xiaoxiao, Third Grandpa looks like the simple-minded old man from the next village. Could he be simple-minded too?"
Little Fatty gave Uncle Sun a deep look, then said calmly, "Little Blackie, Uncle Sun isn't stupid yet. He can be cured with medicine. Don't be afraid, I'll have Grandpa take him to see a doctor."
Uncle Sun continued to laugh wildly.
Sun Shan & the Sun family: ......
Sun Bomin and Uncle Sun are complete opposites.
They even know where that Dongting Lake is.
But the road was too far, and Dege was also hauling a large amount of grain to sell; it was going to be very dangerous.
He asked worriedly, "Shanzi, is it alright for Dege to go alone? Will it be dangerous? I've heard there are many river bandits. What if we run into them?"
"Dege'er is just a young man, prone to making rash decisions. Can we really entrust him with selling grain? What if he gets lost not only of the grain but also of Dege'er himself on the way?"
After all, Sun Bomin had watched Dege grow up since he was a child.
Sun Bomin was delighted to hear the repeated calls of "Uncle, Uncle."
I'm not at all comfortable letting him lead the team alone to sell grain.
Before Sun Shan could speak, Uncle Sun became displeased.
He ran up to Sun Bomin and said, "Brother, what do you mean? What's wrong with our De'er? He's not only tall and strong, but also clever and quick-witted. More importantly, he's good at writing and now speaks the local dialect fluently. De'er is the only choice. No one can compare to De'er."
Dege'er was also unhappy with Sun Bomin saying that about him.
He stepped forward and assured me, "Uncle, you can rest assured about what I do. I'm not the same person I used to be; I'm mature and steady now. Don't underestimate me just because I don't have much experience; I've been helping my father buy and sell mountain products since I was little."
I wouldn't say running a business is easy, but I'm certainly capable of handling it. Uncle, you can rest assured and wait for me to return from the government office.
He paused, then added, "Uncle, when I earn money, I'll buy you meat. Your nephew loves you the most. If you don't want meat, seafood is fine too. No matter how expensive it is, I'll buy it for you."
Sun Bomin was still worried and continued to persuade him, "Dege, it doesn't matter whether you eat meat or not, as long as you are safe and sound. This journey is very long, and you have never traveled far alone before. I am really worried about you."
Dege patted his chest and put his arm around Sun Bomin's shoulder.
He confidently assured them, "Uncle, there's a first time for everything. Besides, this isn't my first time traveling so far. Haven't you seen how I performed all the way from Sunjia Village to Yuanlu County? I carried it all very well; Uncle Chen often praises me as a natural businessman."
He paused, then pointed at Sun Shan and said, "Uncle, even if you don't trust me, don't you trust Shanzi? This time, Shanzi took the initiative to let me go on the trade. He wasn't 100% sure, but he was at least 99% sure, which is why he dared to let me trade grain."
"Uncle, who is Shanzi? He's the smartest young man in our Sunjia Village, and the top scholar from Zhangzhou Prefecture. Don't overthink his arrangements; just follow them."
To reassure Sun Bomin, Dege raised an eyebrow and looked at Sun Shan, saying, "Shanzi, am I right? You made all the arrangements before sending me to sell grain."
Sun Shan said confidently, "Father, Dege is right. Everything is under control, so don't worry."
Whether you're confident or not is one thing; you have to appear very confident. You can't let Sun Bomin worry.
Uncle Sun jumped in again and said, "Brother, don't overthink it. Young people need to be bold and enterprising to go out and make their way. Staying cooped up in Sunjia Village your whole life won't get you anywhere."
Fortunately, my son Shanzi isn't as mediocre as you, otherwise he'd be no different from the cassava and sweet potatoes in the village. My Shanzi is like me, with a brave heart, daring to break free from the shackles of Sunjia Village and bravely run away.”
These words infuriated Sun Bomin. What did Shanzi mean by resembling Uncle Sun? Shanzi was clearly just like him—honest, simple, and reliable.
To reassure Sun Bomin, Sun Shan explained his preparations for selling grain.
For example, they arranged for Sun Dali to escort them, arranged for members of the Wang family to follow them, and used their official status to give them preferential treatment.
After explaining everything, Sun Bomin finally felt a little more at ease and said, "Alright, since Shanzi has made such arrangements, it wouldn't hurt for Dege to go and broaden his horizons."
He turned around, pulled Dege'er aside, and gave him a series of instructions, mainly telling Dege'er to mind his own business on the road, and that his main task was to sell grain. Once they reached their destination, he was to run back as soon as he had sold it all.
On the road, one must not only guard against mountain bandits and river bandits, but also against honey traps.
If you see a beautiful woman, don't give her a second glance, and definitely don't say a word. People outside are very treacherous. When you talk to her, she might emit a faint puff of smoke, making you dizzy and disoriented, like a walking corpse.
Don't let Sun Bomin's appearance as an old farmer who is illiterate fool you; he has heard many stories passed down from person to person, from swindlers to water ghosts, and all sorts of precautions, which he keeps instilling in De Ge'er.
Sun Shan: ...
He glanced at Uncle Sun, who was sitting in a grand chair with his legs crossed, casually making fun of the chubby girl and the dark-skinned girl.
Who is Dege'er's son?
Why wasn't Uncle Sun worried at all, while his eldest brother, Sun Bomin, was filled with anxiety?
What's wrong with this world? Is it the decline of morality or the distortion of human nature?
Although Dege was unreliable and naive, he was incredibly patient with Sun Bomin, listening attentively and nodding and bowing from time to time, acting like a good boy.
Dege'er solemnly assured him, "Uncle, don't worry. If I encounter anything suspicious, I'll definitely run away. If I can't run away, it's because they forced me to take action. I'll use my beauty to fool them completely, so don't blame me then."
Uncle Sun clapped his hands and cheered, "Brother De, well done. As the saying goes, I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if they do, hehe, don't blame me for being ruthless and swindling all the swindler's money."
