If those e-sports players at Beijing Normal University do not get the help of Wei Taiqiang and He Berg, they will not be able to become top e-sports players. If these people cannot become top e-sports players, their lives will not be easy.

In order to get help from Hoberge and others, these people were almost willing to give everything.

The career of an e-sports player is so cruel.

As for other jewelry, Wei Taiqiang thought about it over and over again and finally decided to go to the wealthy house to see if there was more land to buy.

So he came to the wealthy house again. These days there was no janitor standing at the door, rubbing his hair on his black moles, and despising those who could not enter the Huang family without passing by. On the contrary, the door was closed tightly. Wei Taiqiang knocked on the door with his fists, but no one came out. Those who walked on the street looked up and shouted to him, "Hey, you can knock on the door constantly. If the old man was awake, he might come out; if a girl saw a lost dog nearby, she might open the door, if she liked that dog."

However, he finally heard slow steps towards the door, slow, lazy steps stopped and walked. Then he heard the iron door latch being slowly pulled open, the door creaked, and a hoarse whisper, "Who?"

Although Wei Taiqiang was surprised, he replied loudly: "It's me, Wei Taiqiang."

An angry voice said, "Bastard, who is Wei Taiqiang?"

From the tone of cursing, Wei Taiqiang knew that this person was the old man himself, because he seemed to be accustomed to being a slave girl. Therefore, Wei Taiqiang replied more humbly than before: "Master, I'm a little bit. I don't want to disturb your master himself, but I want to talk to the butler who works for your master for a little business."

However, the master did not open the door wider, but replied pouting through the crack of the door, "That damn dog guy left me several months ago. He was not here anymore."

After hearing this answer, Wei Taiqiang didn't know what to do. Without a middle-aged man, he told the master directly about buying land, which was impossible. However, the jewelry hung on his chest as hot as fire. He wanted to get rid of them, and more importantly, he wanted to get the land. With his existing seeds, he could plant so many lands that he had planted now, and he wanted to bring the good land of the Huang family over.

"I'm here to talk about some money." He said, looking like a little bit, this is something I haven't heard of in a long time!" She said sourly. Wei Taiqiang saw a beautiful and smart red face looking out at him. "Come in!" she said lightly, then opened the door wider and let him in. When he stood in the yard in surprise, she bolted the door behind him again.

The old man stood there and looked at him while coughing. He was wearing a dirty and old gray silk gown with a grunge fur dragging on the hem. One could see that this was once a good piece of clothing. Although stained with stains, the satin was still quite smooth, but it was wrinkled as if it had been used as a pajamas. Wei Taiqiang looked at the master behind him and felt strange and a little scared, because he had been afraid of this wealthy family for the rest of his life. He had heard people talk about so many masters, and it seemed that it could not be this old guy. This man seemed not as awesome as his old father, but in fact it was indeed the case, because his father was a clean dressed and smiling old man, and the fat man who used to be very thin, his skin was full of wrinkles, and he had no washing his face, nor shaving. His yellow hands touched the loose old lips trembled.

The woman was dressed very neatly. Her face was cold and smart, with a kind of eagle-like lock, a high nose, dark eyes, gray skin, and grey skin that was tightly pressed against the bones, and her red cheeks and lips looked a little cold. Her black hair was as bright as a mirror, but from her words, one could tell that she was not from the master's house, but a maid, because her voice was sharp and sore. Apart from this woman and the master, there were no other people in the yard, and there were always men and women and children running around in the yard, doing this and that, and taking care of this wealthy family.

"Now talk about money." The woman said cleverly. But Wei Taiqiang was a little hesitant. He couldn't say it in front of the master. The woman was very good at observing her face and immediately saw this. She said to the old man with a sharp voice, "Get in first!"

The master left silently without saying a word. His old soft cloth shoes fell off the heels and dragged them. It took quite a lot of effort to walk.

Wei Taiqiang stayed with this woman alone, not knowing what to say or do. He was surprised by the decay everywhere. He looked into the second entrance to the yard, and there was no one there. He saw piles of dirty things and garbage, weeds, branches and tung pine leaves scattered on the ground, and the flowers and trees planted were dead. It seemed that no one had swept the entire yard for a long time.

"Hey, wooden head!" the woman said sharply. Wei Taiqiang was startled by her voice. He did not expect her voice to be so sharp. "What's wrong with you? If you have money, let me see it."

"No," Wei Taiqiang said carefully, "I didn't say I have money. I'm talking about business."

"Business means money," the woman took over and said, "either money is in or money is paid, but this family cannot afford money now."

"It's right, but I can't talk to a woman." Wei Taiqiang retorted gently. He couldn't figure out the situation he was in and still looked around.

"Why can't?" the woman asked back angrily. Then she suddenly said to him loudly, "Follower, have you not heard that there is no one in this family?"

Wei Taiqiang looked at her weakly and didn't believe it, so the woman shouted to him again: "There is only me and the master, and there is no one else!"

"So, where did you go?" Wei Taiqiang asked. He was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.

"Well, the old lady is dead." The woman replied, "You haven't heard of the bandits rushing into the house and robbing all the maids and property they wanted? They tied the master's thumb and hung it hard. They blocked the old lady's mouth and tied it to a chair. The whole family ran away. But I stayed. I hid in a jar filled with half a jar of water, covered with a wooden cover. When I came out, they all left. The old lady died on the chair, not by being beaten to death, but by being frightened. Her body was weak because of opium, and could not withstand that kind of fear."

"Where are the servants and maids?" Wei Taiqiang asked gasped, "Where are sirs?"

"Hmph, those people," she said disdainfully. "They had already left all the long legs, because in the middle of winter there was neither food nor money. In fact," she lowered her voice, "many of the bandits were long-term workers. I saw with my own eyes that the dog was the way he led. Although he turned his face to the side in front of the master, I still saw the three long hairs on his black mole. There were others, because if they were not familiar with this family, how could they know where the jewelry was hidden? How could they know that the secret collection of jewelry had not been sold? I don't want to blame the butler alone, although he would think that public appearances in that incident were deficient, but he was a distant relative of this family."

The woman fell silent, and the yard was silent, as if everything was dead. Then the woman said, "But all this was not a sudden thing. The master's life and his father's life, this family has been declining. These two masters did not care about the land, but the housekeeper calculated the amount of money, and did not care about spending money, like flowing water. In the hands of these generations, the land gradually lost its power and began to be sold little by little."

"Where have you guys gone?" Wei Taiqiang asked. He was still watching around, unable to believe that such a thing would happen.

"East East, West," the woman said indifferently, "fortunately, the two girls got married before the accident. The eldest young master sent someone to pick up his father after hearing about his parents, but I advised the old man not to go. I said, "Who stayed in these yards? It shouldn't be me, I'm just a woman." She pouted her little mouth embarrassedly when she said these words, lowered her bold eyes, and paused for a while and said, "Besides, I have been the Master's loyal servant over the years, and there is no other home to go to."

At this time, Wei Taiqiang looked at her carefully and quickly turned around and walked away. He began to understand what was going on. A woman was attached to an elderly and dying old man in order to get the last thing he left. So he said to her contemptuously: "Since you are just a maid, how can I do business with you?"

Hearing this, she shouted to him, "He will do whatever I ask him to do."

Wei Taiqiang thought about this answer - right. Yes, this family has land. If he doesn't buy it, others will buy it through this woman.

"How much land is left?" he asked with no choice. She immediately saw his purpose.

"If you come to buy land," she replied quickly, "there are land here to buy. There are 100 acres in the west of the city and 200 acres in the south of the city. He is ready to sell them. Although not a whole piece of land, each piece is large. You can sell the fields together."

She finished these words in one breath. This made Wei Taiqiang understand: she knew everything left by the master, even the last inch of land. But he still didn't believe it and was unwilling to do business with her.

"Without the consent of the sons, it is impossible for the master to sell all the land at home, right?" He expressed his suspicion.

But the woman immediately took his words: "As for that, the sons had told him to sell it when they could. No son would want to live here. During these famine days, bandits were everywhere in the countryside, and they all said, 'We can't live in such a place. Let's sell the land and share the money."' "But who will I hand over the money?" Wei Taiqiang asked, still disbelieving it.

"Who else will be there when you hand it to the master?" the woman replied without thinking. But Wei Taiqiang knew that the things in the master's hand would fall into her hands.

So he didn't want to talk to the woman anymore, so he turned around and walked away and said, "Let's talk about it another day," while walking towards the gate. She followed him and shouted behind him to the street: "It's OK tomorrow, this time or any afternoon!"

He ignored her and walked straight to the street. He was confused and felt that he needed to think about what he had just heard. He walked into a small teahouse and asked for a pot of tea. When the runner put the tea in front of him and grabbed the copper coins he paid and threw them to play with, he was already in deep thought. The more he thought about it, the decline of the wealthy family became more and more terrifying: from his grandfather's life to his father and to his own life, this wealthy family has always been a powerful family in the city, but now it has declined and decayed.

"This is the result of their departure from the fields." He thought with some regret. Then he thought of his two sons, who were growing like bamboos in spring. He made up his mind that from this day on, they would not allow them to play in the sun again, and would let them go to the fields to work, and have let them remember the land under their feet from a young age, knowing that it is not easy to eat with the hoe in their hands.

However, the hot and heavy jewelry he carried was still frightened by him, as if their brilliance would shine through the cloth bag, and someone would shout, "Oh, here is a poor man with the emperor's jewelry!"

He could only be at peace if he turned them into land. Therefore, when he saw that the owner was free, he called him over and said to him, "Come on, I'll invite you for a cup of tea and tell me the latest news in the city. I haven't been here for the winter."

The owner has always been willing to talk to others about this kind of thing, especially when others spend money to let him drink the tea in his shop, so he happily sat next to Wei Taiqiang's table. The man had a weasel-like face and a radish flower on his left eye. His clothes were hard and black, and his chest and pants were covered with oil stains because he also sold rice in addition to selling tea, and the rice was made by himself. He often liked to say, "As the saying goes, "A good cook can't wear clean clothes." Therefore, he felt that it was nothing wrong with his uncleanness. After he sat down, he immediately talked to Wei Taiqiang: "Well, this is no new except for many people starving to death. The biggest new thing is to be considered the robbery of the Huang family."

This is exactly what Wei Taiqiang hoped to hear. The owner continued to tell him the matter with great enthusiasm, and said vividly how the concubines left behind cried and how they were taken away, how the concubines left behind were raped and driven out, and some were even taken away. As a result, no one lived in the family at all. "No one was gone," the owner finally said, "Only the master himself, he is now completely at the mercy of a maid named Du Juan. The maid relied on his intelligence to stay in the master's house for many years, while the others were not long."
