Chapter 12 What is more terrible than red-eyed is vexatiousness
The ancestors had a saying, "Wealth should not be exposed."
That is to say, when you are out of the house, you can't show your money, you can't let others know that you have money, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and it is better to keep a low profile in everything.
Li Hu obviously understands the truth of this and knows that wealth is not exposed, so after receiving the money, while the group of scoundrels were dumbfounded, he directly unceremoniously pulled Li Zhen and ran away.
After all, no matter what you say, you can't have the heart of harming people, and you can't have the heart of guarding against people, although Li Hu is not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice, so that he can not be disappointed to the greatest extent.
And that group of scoundrels, no matter how they look up or down, left and right, they don't look like a good person. Maybe they haven't done anything angry and illegal before, but this doesn't mean that they can still remain calm and calm about it after seeing Li Hu with a huge amount of money.
You must know that in today's society, the atmosphere has begun to become more and more eager for quick success. Even some readers, few of them are pure readers.
It is a chaotic society, where everyone is struggling to climb up, and in order to satisfy their own desires, all sins are derived naturally, and as long as the benefits given are large enough, anything can be done by any means.
A man does not care if he is noble, he is noble because he is not tempted enough!
But Li Hu has 5,000 yuan in his left trouser pocket, which is all he has gained today after he sold two sandalwood sticks just now.
For ordinary farmers, this is almost a year's harvest, and those scoundrels may take risks in the face of such a huge temptation.
In the face of the unpredictable future, Li Hu can only choose a compromise method, can't I provoke and hide?
I saw Li Hu gently carrying the bamboo basket on his shoulder, his right hand pulling Li Zhen's arm, and his left hand pressing the left trouser pocket from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, ran out of several streets at once, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
After turning east and west several times, Li Hu put down his right hand holding Li Zhen, and said a little breathlessly: "After going around for so long, those scoundrels should be lost, and it shouldn't be easy to find us for a while, let's sit down and take a breath and drink saliva to moisten our throats!"
Li Hu took the lead in walking into the nearest convenience store, then took out two bottles of mineral water from it, and sat face to face with Li Zhen on a stool outside the convenience store.
It wasn't until Li Zhen poured several sips of cold mineral water in a row that he felt that his throat, which was originally like a fire, began to feel much better, and it was no longer so dry.
The same is true for Li Hu, after a long time in the sun, and now he has run such a long distance, if he didn't often participate in exercise when he was in school, I'm afraid he would have been too tired to walk by now.
Li Zhen felt a little more comfortable, and only then began to say to Li Hu with doubts: "Little fox, isn't it said that your medicinal materials haven't been sold out yet, why did you suddenly seem to be crazy and pull me out desperately?"
Li Zhen has always been honest and honest, and in the face of these sensitive things, he is naturally a little duller than others, but when he was pulled away by Li Hu, his mind was completely blank.
It was only now that he finally sat down to rest, Li Zhenfang began to think of these things, and his mind thought of such things that made him extremely confused for no reason, so he asked such a question now.
After Li Hu drank the water, he was no longer so out of breath, so he smiled at Li Zhen and said with a mysterious face: "Uncle Li Zhen, think about it, if the crops in the field are not harvested at all, will those pests steal the crops? But if the crops are harvested hugely, can the pests turn a blind eye to it, hear it?"
If you want to say that the person knows the most about crops, then naturally it is the farmer who knows the most about crops, Li Zhen directly snatched the words after listening to what Li Hu said.
"I know this, as the so-called 'rice flowers say a good year, listen to the sound of frogs', these ancestors handed down the words, is completely in line with the life of our crops, after all, the most understand the growth of crops, must be those who get along with the crops day and night, in addition to these small animals. If the crops are good, the pests will definitely come to visit!"
But after finishing speaking, Li Zhen couldn't help but become a little hesitant, "But...... Little fox, one of them is one of those scoundrels and the other is a pest in the crops, is there any relationship between the two?"
After Li Hu heard this, the smile on his face couldn't help but get even worse, "Hahaha...... Of course there is, there must be! You say that I have a lot of money now, and for those scoundrels, it is not the harvest that is the harvest, and in this case, they will not be like vermin, and will covet my money!"
Li Zhen nodded lightly, and said as if he didn't understand: "So that's the case, I'll just say how to successfully sell the medicinal herbs, it's obviously a good thing, but you still have to run away like you're in the wilderness......
Li Hu was still smiling, but he suddenly seemed to remember something, and directly unceremoniously put his left hand into his left trouser pocket, took out two hundred-yuan bills from it, and handed them to Li Zhen.
When Li Zhen saw Li Hu's behavior, he couldn't help but ask: "Little fox, didn't you say that money should not be exposed, why did you take out the money now?"
Seeing Li Zhen's upright appearance, Li Hu could only patiently explain to him, "Uncle Li Zhen, this money is my reward for you, didn't I already say it before, when I sell the medicinal materials, I will give you a reward, now you can accept it!"
"No, no...... How can this be, the reason why I help you is entirely because the two of us are uncles and nephews, as for the reward, I have never thought about it, and I can't help you anything, so I can't ask for your money!"
After Li Zhen listened to Li Hu's explanation, his head couldn't help but shake like a rattle, and hurriedly refused Li Hu to hand over two hundred-yuan bills, as if he had seen a hot potato, and he didn't dare to take it at all.
You must know that although Li Zhen is poor, but after so many years, he has always adhered to the principle of peace and happiness, and has never done anything that violates the principles of life.
Li Hu seemed to have known that Li Zhen was unwilling to accept his own facts easily, so he did not hurry and told the set of rhetoric he had just prepared, "Uncle Li Zhen, that's the case, although we are uncles and nephews, but you really helped me, then I should also pay you, right? What's more, I told you a long time ago about paying you, and if you refuse to do it now, won't you be unkind and unjust to me?"
It can be seen that Li Zhen must be struggling fiercely in his heart at this moment, after all, for an honest farmer like him, although he has done a lot of good things, he is still in a relatively primitive kind of these things in terms of human sophistication.
Li Zhen took a deep breath, and then said helplessly: "Little fox, since this is the case, then I will accept your two hundred yuan, thank you!"
As an elder, Li Zhen had no choice but to hand over Li Hu's money in order not to have any psychological burden, or even to be infamous for being unkind and unjust.
Li Hu said with a smile on his face and a sly expression. "Hey...... Uncle Li Zhen, that's right! Our uncle and nephew, why are you so polite, you say?"
......
In autumn dusk, the setting sun casts leaves on the dirt road, and a few ants crawl around on it, stopping and running.
Some of the light sprinkled directly on the roadside canal, like many gold and silver threads, rippling with the water.
Li Hu and Li Zhen, their backpacks were full of items purchased from the market, and today was undoubtedly a bumper harvest day for them.
The two walked on a dirt road in the countryside, and the setting sun stretched their backs long, long......
......
When Li Hu stepped into the house, the last rays of the sunset began to disappear, leaving only the gray sky.
As soon as Li Hu returned home, he saw his mother Zhang Fang washing rice and cooking, so he couldn't help but say: "Mom, don't be busy cooking first, I bought good things from the market today and came back, and I'll make them for you later." Now you call Daddy first. Come into the house, I have something to say to you. ”
Zhang Fang saw Li Hu's mysterious look, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's the matter, you still have such a mysterious ......?"
However, although Zhang Fang said so, she did not hesitate to put down her work and went to the back of the house to look for Li Changming.
Li Hu's home is a structure similar to a courtyard house, with a small courtyard outside, a kitchen on the side, a living room and a dining place in the middle, and rooms on both sides.
It didn't take long for Zhang Fang to take Li Changming to the house, but Li Hu suddenly said, "Mom, or ...... Let's close the door first, shall we?"
Seeing Li Hu so cautious, Zhang Fang couldn't help but unceremoniously waved her big hand, and couldn't help shouting: "Hey, what are you closing the door in broad daylight? We are not doing anything unseemly, you can just say anything about it!"
Li Hu hesitated slightly, but quickly agreed, "That's ...... Okay, Dad, Mom, this money is the harvest I got from selling medicinal herbs in the town today, a total of four thousand eight, you can use it to pay off the debt first, and see who is more tight on money now, so pay back his money first!"
You must know that Li Hu's family, that is owed a lot of money to a lot of people, before and after it is counted as many as tens of thousands, and now the four thousand eight in front of him is just a drop in the bucket, so Li Hu had to come up with such a method, whoever needs emergency will pay them back first.
Li Hu said, then began to put down the bamboo back basket, took out the pile of hundred-yuan bills from his left trouser pocket, and put them on the table unceremoniously.
"Oh...... It turns out that it's just your harvest today, what kind of big deal should I be......"
After Zhang Fang listened to Li Feiyu's words, it seemed that he didn't react all of a sudden, and said with a face full of indifference.
But after Li Changming poked Zhang Fang with his hand, she began to react, looked at the pile of hundred-yuan bills on the table, and said in disbelief: "What did you say......?" Four thousand eight, you're still selling medicinal herbs, shouldn't it be gold?"
Under Zhang Fang's direct gaze, Li Hu still looked light-hearted, and nodded very seriously.
"Oh my God...... Hurry up and close the door!"
At this moment, Zhang Fang didn't have time to ask Li Hu about the origin of the money, but ran directly to the door, wanting to close the people in the house.
"Yo yo yo...... Seeing you running out and closing the door in such a hurry, aren't you doing something shady inside?"
Zhang Fang had just closed half of them when she saw Wang Chunhua holding a chicken leg in her hand, and directly pushed her away unceremoniously, and then swaggered in.
Wang Chunhua didn't forget to bite the chicken leg while walking, but when she saw the pile of hundred-yuan bills on the table, her eyes couldn't help but straighten.
So Wang Chunhua hurriedly swallowed the meat in her mouth unceremoniously, and then said very pleasantly: "Yo, I'll just say, why didn't you start closing the door before it got dark, it turned out that there was so much money, but since you have money now, then the money you owe me, I should pay us back now, right?"
Wang Chunhua's heart at this moment is already about to bloom, she couldn't have imagined that she just wanted to come over to show off today's harvest, but now the surprise in front of her is too big!
Zhang Fang, who was originally stunned at the door, couldn't help but hurriedly walked over at this time, and said a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, we originally wanted to take this money and return it to the villagers for emergency use, but sister-in-law, it doesn't seem that you are in such a hurry to use the money, right?"
Wang Chunhua listened to Zhang Fang's words, and couldn't help but suddenly become a little dumbfounded, but she soon began to say with her teeth and claws: "Zhang Fang, how do you know that my family is not short of money to spend? You don't look at me, I have been busy with farm work in the field recently, but I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I have lost several pounds all of a sudden...... Unless, you see that we are a family, and you take the opportunity not to pay back our family's money?"
Looking at Wang Chunhua's fat and trying to say that he had lost weight, Li Hu's family couldn't help but be really stunned on the spot.
Especially Li Hu, looking at Wang Chunhua's eyes staring at the money, Li Hu thought of a word in his heart for no reason, and his eyes were red when he saw the money.
This word comes from the "Mirror Flower Yuan" written by Li Ruzhen in the Qing Dynasty, which says: "Among them, the most recognizable is only the pair of thief eyes, because he sees money and his eyes are red, so it is easy to recognize." ”
At first, when Li Hufang saw this word, his heart couldn't help but be full of doubts, seeing that the phenomenon of Qian Hongyan was too contrary to normal physiological laws, right?
But now, after seeing Wang Chunhua's performance, Li Hu suddenly realized that there are really such people in this world!
Abandoning the old and welcoming the new, seeing the money and opening the eyes, are all natural principles.
Li Hu has always felt that red eyes are a disease, even if the world's medicinal stones are exhausted, it is still a disease that cannot be cured.
But Li Hu suddenly felt at this moment that the red eyes were not the most terrible thing, and being unreasonable was!
