"Brother?" Yan Xishan came out, his face still smiling.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But Hu Xiaomei hadined most bitterly about Yan Bin, so Yan Xishan had to make a symbolic show of anger. He reached out and grabbed Yan Bin''s cor.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yan Bin had been a police officer before, so there was no way Yan Xishan could actually overpower him. But Yan Bin had to pretend to be weaker for appearance''s sake, repeatedly saying, "Xishan, we''re brothers. I really didn''t mean to. Don''t be angry, please don''t be angry."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Yan Sanye and Yan Xiong came to break up the fight. Yanguan Vige had eight brigades, full of hidden talents. The men of the vige should work together in unity - they were all brothers, how could they fight?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Hu Xiaomei was pregnant, and she hade to the vige today to show off. She didn''t dare say anything to Chen Men, but at least she wanted to see Yan Xishan teach Yan Bin a lesson to feel satisfied.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
So if Yan Xishan didn''t act, she would cry and im her stomach hurt. She had already lost face, so she might as well make a scene.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
People love to watch drama unfold. Even Little Wang and Yuanyuan, hearing themotion, rushed out from Third Sister-inw Huang''s house. The scene waspletely surrounded by onlookers.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

These days, ultrasound images were still photos pasted onto medical records, which were handwritten. But the ultrasound photos were developed all at once, with the ID number and name of the person printed on the side.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
As she looked, Chen Men smiled. She had it figured out.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Hu Xiaomei was still stomping her foot: "Brother Shan, my stomach hurts. First go get that 100,000 yuan back from Chen Men, and make her burn the agreement. Then take me to get our marriage license, or else my stomach will keep hurting. I''m in pain from anger."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yan Xishan was actually looking for a way out. He turned to look at Men: "Please, I''m begging you, can you give me that 100,000 yuan first and burn that agreement?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yan Zhao stayed out of it, just coldly watching Yan Xishan.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Yan Xishan of course knew Hu Xiaomei was faking, but at a time like this, the more intense the conflict between the two sides, the more he had to try to defuse it. After all, whether it was Xiaomei or Men, he couldn''t bear to upset either of them. So he supported Hu Xiaomei and said, "Come on, let''s go inside and sit for a while."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Things could be discussed slowly. Hu Xiaomei entered the courtyard and sat down. She wanted to see with her own eyes Yan Xishan take the money and Chen Men burn the agreement.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Xiaomei, are you three months older than me?" Chen Men asked after pouring Hu Xiaomei a ss of water.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Hu Xiaomei reflexively said, "What? I''m three months younger than you."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Yan Xishan of course followed her in. As soon as they entered, Chen Men handed over both ultrasound reports with the photos attached. She only said one thing about the photos: "If your eyes aren''t blind, take a close look at that photo."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
First of all, the two photos were identical. Secondly, the handwriting was faintly visible, showing the name Wang Ju. Moreover, both Hu Xiaomei and Chen Men were born in 1963, but the ID number on this photo was 670505. The 15-digit ID number had the person''s birth date in the middle - if it was from 1967, how could it possibly be Hu Xiaomei?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yan Xishan had actually seen many ultrasound reports before, because Hu Xiaomei had been pregnant more than once. They were all ultrasounds done by Fan Zhenhua''s wife at the provincial hospital. When it showed a girl, Hu Xiaomei would abort.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yan Xishan had even personally entered the ultrasound room, which was mysterious to most people nowadays. He had even chatted with the head of the ultrasound department, Fan Zhenhua''s wife. He understood things like how before embryo differentiation, round shapes were girls and eggnt shapes were boys.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

"It''s just two coal mines, right? If Yuanyuan doesn''t want them, here, let Xiaomei take them all," Chen Men said deliberately.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
It wasn''t just those two ultrasound reports - Yan Xishan''s whole being was like a leaf in the wind.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Private coal mining had always been illegal, but coal demand was growing daily, and state-owned coalpanies couldn''t meet the demand.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Shaanxi Province had opened up private coalpanies since the 1980s. Initially, it was Qi Dongmei who introduced Yan Xishan to Fan Xiang, and Fan Xiang helped him find connections to apply for a coalpany. But Fan Xiang was just a middleman - it was Yan Xishan''s repeated wining and dining of people in nightclubs, getting drunk, and building rtionships that was the main reason he was finally able to acquire seven coal mines.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The coal supply to Dongfang Group was initially his coalpany''s biggest business, but it wasn''t anymore.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
As for Fan Xiang, he used to make money through Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan would take the fall and do all the unconscionable things, while Fan Xiang took clean money.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
If Yan Xishan went to prison, Fan Xiang wouldn''t let the coal mines sit idle. He would look for new candidates. Hu Xiaomei was just a front - those nouveau riche she invited over all had Yan Xishan''s potential: smooth talkers who knew how to tter, drink, and build connections.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Fan Xiang would observe them in secret, and whoever he thought was capable would be chosen.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yan Xishan saw through all of this. He didn''t provoke anyone. As long as Fan Xiang could help him continue to obtain coal mining permits, he would go along with it. He coaxed Hu Xiaomei, saying marriage was impossible, but as long as he tried to be morew-abiding in the future, he would only be wealthier.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He was very clever. He thought he could see through everything.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
It wasn''t until this moment that he realized his only weakness, which was also the most fatal - a single Hu Xiaomei could strangle him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He thought he could have a son, but now even the son turned out to be fake. If he really died, wouldn''t he be left with nothing?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
In the past, when the coalpany was established, there were equity ratios, after all, one person couldn''t establish apany alone.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
And Yan Xishan, being a miser, had used thepany he and Chen Men set up at the time. After all, it was better to keep things in the family. They just had different equity ratios.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yan Xishan of course still wanted to be wealthy. The whole country knew Shaanxi had coal, and across the nation, thermal power, steel, oil, and variousrge factories and mines all needed coal. Demand was flying towards Shaanxi Province, and he owned thergest mine. He was riding the wave.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He had drunk so much alcohol in the past, had knelt before people, had smiled until his face hurt night after night. He couldn''t possibly just quit now.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Men, if you want to transfer the two coal mines, you''ll have to set up a new coalpany. That''s too much trouble." Yan Xishan choked up softly a couple of times, then suddenly said, "You know, in my coalpany, I originally had 99.9% of the shares, and you had 0.1%. How about this - tomorrow, let''s switch. You take 99.9%."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

His Zhaodi would not only bury his bones but was also his only support - his daughter, the daughter who would sing with big stars.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Only by transferring the coal mines to Zhaodi''s name could the mines continue to belong to the Yan family, even if he died.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yan Xishan only understood this principle at this moment. He patted Chen Men''s shoulder a couple of times, with the air of someone who had seen through the ways of the world and looked beyond life and death. He even shed a few crocodile tears.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Coming out of the bedroom, Yan Xishan, ever the one to keep hisposure, hugged Hu Xiaomei and prepared to leave.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Brother Shan, what about the money? Did you get it?" Hu Xiaomei asked, her arms around Yan Xishan''s neck, looking back at Chen Men.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

"Xishan, be careful, Xiaomei is pregnant," said Yan Sanye.

Chen Men, after all, had her own concerns and was still pondering about the coal mine.
