Chapter 303: A Year of Hard Work in Vain
Wufeng Town, a grilled fish.
"Shopkeeper Liu, the fish hasn't arrived today!"
"Haven't the fish arrived yet?" Liu Dabao was also anxious.
"Nope!"
"Master Zhou, you buy some from Washi first, come back for emergency, I'll take a look."
In another hour, it will open for business, and all the preparations must be done immediately. So after finishing speaking, Liu Dabao hurriedly went to find a supplier.
This supplier is none other than Liu Dabao's little uncle Wang Baozhu, who has only started to supply Liu Dabao's restaurant in the past two days.
Now the road leading to Wufeng Town in Wangjiagou has been repaired, the road is much smoother and wider, Liu Dabao drove the carriage all the way unimpeded, and it took less than half an hour to reach the destination.
"Which one did this kill a thousand knives! This is not to give us the Wang family a way to live! After saying this, ......... old lady Wang was in a hurry and fainted.
The villagers had just picked up Mrs. Wang, and the Bai family on the other side was also very excited.
"I'm not alive! I'm not alive anymore! Whining...... Let me die! Let me die! ”
"Ah Ling, don't think about it."
The villagers didn't hold back, and Bai jumped into the pond.
"Poof..."
"Oops! Everyone, save people! Ah Ling is diving! Ah Ling is diving! ”
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, several people jumped down one after another, and finally rescued Bai Ling, who was diving.
"Quick! Get the water she drank upside down! ”
Wang Baozhu trembled with Bai Ling on his shoulder.
"Ahem......" Bai Ling spit out all the water she had drunk.
"You let me die! Let me die! Woo woo woo ...... "Bai Ling struggled and had to jump down.
"Ah Ling, death can't solve the problem."
"Yes! Ah Ling, if you keep Qingshan, you are not afraid that there will be no firewood, and there will be nothing when people die. ”
The villagers persuaded.
The woman was wet, her clothes were close to her body, and revealing the curves of her body was also a kind of immorality in ancient times, so the kind-hearted villagers persuaded: "Baozhu, take Ah Ling back first."
.........
Wang Baozhu carried his daughter-in-law home with tears in his eyes, and the villagers followed.
As soon as Liu Dabao entered the door, he found that his uncle's house was crowded with people, crying all the time, and his uncle Wang Bai was looking for death and life.
"Ah Ling, your nephew is here." A villager recognized Liu Dabao.
Old Wang Tou and Wang Baozhu hurriedly ran over: "Dabao, Dabao........." The two big men cried a lot.
Seeing the appearance of his grandfather and uncle, Liu Dabao felt a sigh in his heart.
Liu Dabao asked, "Grandfather, uncle, what's wrong?" ”
When Liu Dabao came, Wang Bai hurriedly rushed over, grabbed Liu Dabao, and cried and said, "Dabao, you have to call the shots for us!" Woohoo......"
"Auntie, don't cry yet, what happened?"
"We fish...... Our Fish ...... I don't know if I was poisoned by any of the things that cut off my grandchildren! ”
"What?" Liu Dabao was taken aback!
"Woo woo woo......," Bai cried, "that's our family's hard work for a year!" ”
Wang Baozhu and Bai listened to Luo Ying's suggestion, and the couple decided to raise fish, at that time the funds were insufficient, and the two of them also borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and because of this, the Jia family was afraid that the fish would not survive, and the debts borrowed by Wang Baozhu and his wife would affect them, so they proposed to split up at that time, so this year, Wang Baozhu and his wife were under great pressure and put all their energy and hope on this.
As a result, now they are preparing to sell some out and begin to return the funds, when Wang Baozhu and his wife are enjoying the joy of a bumper harvest, the fish are all poisoned by people!
Mrs. Wang fainted on the spot, and the Bai family wanted to die.
"Report to the police!" Liu Dabao proposed.
His eldest aunt, Jia Shi, immediately retorted: "What's the use of reporting to the official? Forget it! Maybe the fish died of their own disease. ”
"It can't be that all three ponds of fish died overnight! That's a coincidence, isn't it? Report to the police! ”
Liu Dabao insisted on reporting to the official.
Bai Shi reacted, and muttered to himself: "Yes, yes, report to the official, report to the official!" ”
Jia Shi was a little panicked and said, "But where can I check here?" Anyway, the fish are dead, and the report will not live! I said earlier, you shouldn't raise fish, but you still have to raise it, if you want me to say Dabao, it's all your cousin's fault! ”
Liu Dabao was angry: "Auntie, why do you say that? The fish wasn't killed by my cousin and sister-in-law! ”
Mrs. Wang cried while hammering her legs: "The official fish can't come back, woo woo...... What thing that kills a thousand knives wants to hurt us like this? Woowoo woo ......"
"Hey! It's a shame that so many fish ......."
"But no, I don't know who did it? So many fish, hey......"
.........
The villagers sighed one by one and lamented it.
In this situation, Liu Dabao didn't know how to comfort him, and there was no other way than to report to the official, the fish in the three ponds were all dead, and his little uncle lost all his money this time, no wonder Bai wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the water.
"Uncle, I'll take you to report to the official!" Liu Dabao said, "Little uncle, don't think about it, maybe the county master can find out, find out, and let people pay when the time comes!" ”
"That's right! Repay! ”
At this moment, Jia Shi was really panicked, and recalled carefully in his mind, no one should find out about this!
When he reacted, Liu Dabao took Wang Baozhu to the direction of the county seat.
Liu Dabao is Liu Yifan's cousin, and everyone with a bit of identity in the county knows it, so the county master didn't dare to slack off, and immediately asked people to check, Wang Baozhu looked at the people of the county government who were polite to his nephew, and he had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Uncle, I still have two taels of silver here, you can take it to the emergency first, if you can't find out........ I'll ask my brother first and see if I can figure out a way for you. ”
If you can't find out, you can only admit that you are unlucky, this truth Wang Baozhu also knows, if he is not sad, at least his family can eat, now ...... Ay......
Wang Baozhu said: "You tell your village chief, he also ordered fish from me to make noodles." ”
"Okay, I'll go back and tell him."
Liu Dabao put Wang Baozhu down at the entrance of the village, and he returned to the village.
"Why is this man so bad?" Mr. Tang was indignant.
"It must be that my eyes are red when I see your uncle making money in the past few days, I'm sure someone from your village did it!"
"What about so many people in the village? Who knows who did it? It's a pity for those fish. ”
The people in the village chief's family are talking to me one by one.
"Grandpa the village chief, you should buy fish from elsewhere, don't delay your birthday banquet."
"Okay, I see." The village chief said, "You go back and talk to your brother, the two of them are smart, maybe they can think of a way to solve it or find out who did it, if they find out, they can also ask for compensation, and this year's hard work is not in vain." ”
"Then I'll go first."
Coming out of the village chief's house, Liu Dabao went straight to Liu Yifan, and Liu Yifan spoke to Liu Fei!
"Yifan, I heard that your family has given birth to three babies, show me quickly." Liu Fei came back, and he came to visit the door as soon as possible.
"It's unfortunate that the kids are asleep." Liu Yifan is in a very happy mood, now his biggest pleasure every day is to tease his own girl, the two girls are still young, but others can't coax him, he can sleep as soon as he coaxes, and Luo Ying is a little jealous now.
"Look at your happy face, why am I so unhappy in my heart!"
"I think you're jealous! Ha ha...... Anyway, Brother Fei, you should also find your sister-in-law, but your aunt didn't arrange it for you? ”
Liu Fei is twenty years old this year, and it is because he is a showman that he has not been married so far, and if he is replaced by another farmer, it is estimated that the children can make soy sauce.
After Liu Yifan said this, a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth quickly appeared in Liu Fei's mind......
"Brother Fei, what do you want?" Liu Yifan quipped, "Don't you ...... in your heart"
"Go, go, what nonsense?" Liu Fei blushed at ridicule, and then quickly changed the topic, "I heard the story of [Journey to the West], and you started printing?" Also out of the comics? ”
"Yes! The teahouse business is good, and many people like the story of [Journey to the West], so I thought about printing it, and Fucheng will sell it at that time, and the story teahouse of Fucheng should also be renovated! ”
"I'm telling you, you have to keep me a copy of the book!"
"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely leave it for you." Liu Yifan said, "In the future, there will be storybooks such as [Journey to the East], and when the time comes, you will give you a copy of the new book, you can bring it to your academy for me, and you will have time to publicize it for me." ”
Although everyone has read things like the Four Books and the Five Classics these days, there are still many people who read the book. Especially since this story has become popular, there will definitely be people who are willing to buy the full set of stories to relive at home.
"Why are you so smart? There are endless ways to make money. Liu Fei praised.
"By the way, Brother Fei, do any of the students in your academy have poor family conditions?"
"Yes! There are two good friends with me, and the family conditions are similar to yours at the beginning, but they are well educated and have a good character, hey...... Speaking of which, if they pass the township test this year, I'm afraid that they won't be entangled in Kyoto, hey, what are you asking for? Is there a way you can help them? Liu Fei's eyes lit up instantly.
"That's right, I plan to build a literacy class in Fucheng, a little larger, and the master wants you to help solve it when the time comes, but the salary is not high, twenty wen a day, but the time is not long, and it will not delay their usual study."
"I'll take care of it." Liu Fei immediately took over the job.
After Liu Dabao came, Liu Fei left.
Liu Dabao told Liu Yifan about the Wang family.
"Brother, is there any way you can help my uncle?"
