Chapter 4 The visit of the village chief
"Fifth uncle, you're not joking, it's just that the meat of the tiger is more than 6,000 yuan, but we have to fight hard to get this tiger back. You can't lie to us just because we're young www.biquge.info if it's so cheap, we'd rather keep our own meat and have a tiger skin to sleep on." Wang Hao's attitude was unusually resolute. As the saying goes, there is no business without treachery, although Wang Hao does not know the true price of this tiger, he also knows that Fifth Uncle Yang will definitely suppress their price. So he also made this kind of price resolutely not agreed.
Fifth Uncle Yang's face also flashed an embarrassed look, he really deceived Wang Hao and the three of them because they were young and didn't know the world, so they deliberately lowered the receipt price. However, he quickly returned to normal, "Mouse, the profit made by the fifth uncle is not very large, you think about the tiger is a protected animal, Uncle Wu always has to find customers to sell it, and the cost is also a lot." Otherwise, since it is the money you exchanged for your life, Uncle Wu will not earn your money, so double the price for you. How about 12,000? If this price is not good, the fifth uncle will not dare to accept this tiger. ”
Wang Hao and the three of them looked at each other, and they also saw that the other party had agreed to the price. Everyone can get four thousand pieces, and four thousand dollars is also a lot of money for those of them in the mountains.
"Okay, then 12,000 deals." Wang Hao made the final decision.
"Then we'll settle down, I'll go get you the money now." Uncle Yang said happily that he was indeed very happy, and what he said just now was that not accepting it was just a means of doing business. After Wang Hao promised, he could earn at least tens of thousands of yuan, and he wanted to finalize the matter immediately.
Because Uncle Yang often has to collect mountain goods, he often has some cash to spare at home, and he doesn't have to go to the nearby county town to get money after negotiating the price. immediately went home and took the money to Wang Hao and them, and the third brother was no longer polite, and after taking the money, he left the tiger and left directly. It doesn't matter what happens to the goods after they are bought.
Not long after going out, the third brother divided the money, and the three of them were very happy, after all, this hard work was not in vain. Four thousand dollars per person is also a huge amount of money.
"Mouse, rabbit, come to my house for dinner. The jar of wine that my family brewed last year is estimated to be drinkable, how about a few glasses of our brothers. After the fat man was in a good mood, he vigorously invited Wang Hao and the two to his house for dinner.
Hearing the fat man say this, Wang Hao and the rabbit's eyes instantly lit up a lot, the humidity in the mountains was relatively heavy, and the climate was cold. Many people in the mountains have the habit of soaking medicinal wine to drink, one to drive away moisture, and the other to nourish the body. They are more familiar with each other's affairs, and they know that the jar of wine in the fat man's house is that the fat man and his father have climbed many mountains to find these medicinal materials. In particular, there is a wild mountain ginseng tree that has been around for nearly ten years. Wang Hao and the rabbit have long coveted this jar of wine, but the fat man refuses to let them drink it anyway.
The rabbit laughed and scolded, "Even if you kid still has a little conscience, I thought you kept this guy as a family heirloom." Mouse, wait a minute, let's open our stomachs and go for a drink. ”
"I'm not going, my sister just came back yesterday, and I'm going back to accompany her." Wang Hao shook his head, Wang Xiaoling will only come back during the May Day holiday, and he only wants to go home to accompany his sister for a few days of vacation.
"Xiaoling is back, it's going to be a holiday so soon. Otherwise, you can bring her to my house for dinner. "The fat man knows Wang Hao's situation. Wang Hao's parents died when he was a child, leaving him and a young sister to depend on each other, Wang Hao is also very good to this sister, and has been relying on him to hunt to earn money for his sister to study in a nearby town. Because she is far away from home, Wang Yuling has been living at the school and will only go home during the holidays.
In fact, they didn't know that Wang Hao was not Wang Xiaoling's biological brother, Wang Hao and Wang Xiaoling were also told to them by his adoptive father before he was sick and dying, and it is said that when he was about two years old, his adoptive father picked him up when he went hunting in Xianren Mountain. Few people in the Immortal Village knew about this matter. After his parents died, Wang Hao took on the responsibility of taking care of Wang Xiaoling.
"Forget it, I guess she'll already cook and wait for me to go back." Wang Hao has always been out hunting, and Wang Xiaoling will cook at home and wait for him. Wang Xiaoling can only come back for a period of time when she has a long vacation, so under normal circumstances, Wang Hao will rush back to eat with her.
"Well, I'll go see her with Rabbit when we have time." The fat man didn't insist anymore, and the three of them went home separately as they returned to the village.
Walking through the village streets, Wang Hao soon returned home, a thatched house with a thatched roof that had been washed white by the rain. The courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence in front of the house, because of the relationship over time, the fence has been coiled with mountain vines and thatch, and it looks ancient.
"Xiaoling, I'm back." Wang Hao shouted into the house and walked in.
"Brother, you're finally back." With a happy voice, a young girl walked out, with a very beautiful face, long eyelashes, big eyes, and a smile on the corner of her mouth. However, it may be due to long-term malnutrition, and the body is a little thin.
"yes, I'll be back early if I'm lucky today." Wang Hao walked in as he spoke.
"You're back just in time, I've just cooked the food. Let's have dinner together. Wang Xiaoling walked to Wang Hao's side and obediently helped him take down the bow and arrow hanging on his body.
"It's good to have a younger sister, and I just came back and had something to eat." Wang Haoxiao let Wang Yuling untie the bow and arrow, and the two walked into the house. The room was very simple, with a room on the left and right sides, and a square table nailed with wooden planks and two wooden stools in the middle hall.
"Wow, it's so rich today, full of color, flavor, and flavor, and your craft seems to have improved again." Wang Hao looked at the food placed on the table and praised, in fact, the meal is very simple, two dishes and one soup, a plate of self-grown rape, a plate of fried bamboo shoots with pheasant, and a bowl of egg drop soup.
"Brother, you will make me happy, hurry up and eat." Although Wang Xiaoling said this, it could be seen from her expression that she was very happy.
"Okay, eat." Wang Hao nodded, and the two siblings sat on opposite sides of the table and began to eat.
"Xiaoling, eat more food, look at how you have lost weight again." Wang Hao took the big chopsticks and bacon into Wang Xiaoling's bowl and continued to complain, "I told you a long time ago not to be afraid of spending money, you can eat whatever you want, but you don't listen." Look at how thin you've gotten now. ”
Wang Hao's heart is very clear that Wang Xiaoling must feel that it is not easy for her to make money, and she is reluctant to spend money. Every time Wang Xiaoling came back, he was very distressed when he saw it, but no matter what he said, Wang Xiaoling still didn't change. He can only try to hunt more prey home when Wang Xiaoling is on vacation, so that she can increase her nutrition.
"Brother, I don't want to go to school anymore." After Wang Xiaoling finished speaking, she lowered the rice in the bowl and didn't dare to look at Wang Hao.
Sure enough, when Wang Hao heard her say this, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at her with a solemn face, "Why don't you read it?" ”
"Brother, it's useless to study now, I will graduate from high school soon, and after graduation, I want to come out to work and make money." Wang Xiaoling cautiously lowered her head to eat. She knew that Wang Hao had always wanted her to finish college, but she also knew how hard it was for Wang Hao to provide her with college, and she didn't want Wang Hao to be under pressure all the time, so she planned to drop out of school and come out to work.
"What nonsense are you talking about, whoever told you to read is useless. It's useless if you don't read. I know you're worried that I don't have any money for you, and I'm telling you, my brother can make money. You see, it's not all the money I'm making today. Wang Hao came out with the 4,000 yuan he got from selling the tiger from his pocket, originally this money Wang Hao deliberately wanted to surprise Wang Xiaoling, if Wang Xiaoling was not going to drop out of school, he would not have taken it out so quickly.
However, Wang Xiaoling's tuition and food expenses have always made Wang Hao very worried, otherwise he would not have gone to the forbidden area of Xianren Mountain to hunt, all in order to earn Wang Xiaoling's tuition.
"Brother, is this the money you earned today?" Wang Xiaoling was also stunned when she looked at the pile of red hundred-yuan bills, she grew up in this village since she was a child, and knew that although the hunters here went hunting every day, they were not able to hunt every day. Moreover, even if the prey is hit, most of the money is earned by the merchants who buy the prey in this place far from the city. It's good to earn dozens of yuan a day, otherwise Wang Xiaoling wouldn't think about dropping out of school to work.
"Of course, so you can rest assured, study hard with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about money, you are not allowed to mention dropping out of school in the future, if you mention it again, I will not recognize you as a sister." Wang Hao said solemnly.
"I see." Wang Xiaoling whispered.
"It's good to know, let's eat. Finish the chicken and see how thin you have become. Wang Hao sandwiched another piece of chicken and put it in Wang Xiaoling's bowl.
"Wang Hao, are you at home?" A man's voice sounded outside.
"Village chief, I'm at home." Wang Hao recognized this as the village chief's voice, so after answering, he went over and opened the door to let the village chief in. At the same time, he was also very puzzled in his heart, the village chief had never come to him for so many years. What is he here for now?
The village chief was a little thin and sharp-mouthed, with a short beard, and after coming in, he looked at the dining table, and his eyes immediately turned to Wang Xiaoling, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "You guys are eating." ”
"Yes, the village chief can tell me if he has anything." Wang Hao didn't have a good impression of this village chief, the village chief was called Li Hongjin, and he gave birth to a son named Li Zhifa. Relying on the strong family property, he insisted on occupying the position of the village chief. His son, in particular, was rampant in the village, and the whole village hated their family. However, the people who are powerful and powerful in the village are simply the emperors of the soil, and the villagers dare not offend their family.
