Chapter 208: Pondering Money Makes Money

After receiving the report, the People's Commune attached great importance to the matter of the Nanmu box dug up by the Yakzi family, and instructed the police station to investigate.

The police station sent the people's police to Xingfutun to visit door to door to investigate the history of the He family, and then returned to the people's commune to check the archives.

The militia of the production brigade conducted a large-scale search of the He family's digging ground, and found some burial objects returned from the ancestral graves of the robbed tombs.

After investigating and comparing the files, the people's police learned that the He family was a common landlord 30 years ago, but later the family business was in ruins, and there was no more land and property.

The uncle of the eldest stubborn son participated in the revolution in his early years and died in the Liberation War, so the He family was still a military martyr.

The militia of the production brigade also collected evidence that the He family donated funds to support the anti-Japanese and revolutionary causes.

The He family has made meritorious contributions to the anti-Japanese and revolutionary causes, has a clear history, and has good roots, so there is nothing wrong with classifying them as poor peasants.

Because the family did not make any mistakes, and the interrogation of the public security and militia was only to investigate and understand the situation, and did not use coercive means, the big stubborn man could still stand it, and Li Guixiang, Yakzi and Dahan needless to say, were tight-lipped.

A false alarm passed like this, and the He family's Nanmu box and the things hidden in it, as well as the returned tomb robbers, were all handed over to the public, and they have not been known since then.

The He family's house and its surroundings, including the front and back gardens, were dug up in a mess.

There is only patience in helplessness, and it is fortunate that there are no major mistakes.

The yak reopened again, reorganized and leveled the house, rammed the floor, and laid a stone foundation.

Because everything is ready to build a house, everything goes smoothly in the later stage, one day the stone foundation is built, two days to build the wall and set the doors and windows, three days to set off firecrackers on the beam of the house to tie copper money, and then set up the rafters purlin, weave the house eight, wipe the room thin, the house grass, ten days of work, a brand new four thatched houses began to take shape, basically built, next to the warehouse and pigsty, chicken coop and duck coop.

The He family's house looked very magnificent, and the yard was much larger than before.

The leftover timber from the building of the house was used to reinforce the fence, so that the front and rear gardens were also very regular.

Yakzi and Dahan were very excited, and they got up early in the dark, hung the shed, plastered the wall, built a kang, built a stove, and pasted doors and windows.

Xiaomei and Toya also came to help when they had time, and the four girls wanted to help but were embarrassed.

Building a house is the wish of the yak, and the wish is fulfilled, and the next step is for him to think about talking about marriage with Xiaomei.

However, the world is unpredictable, good things are grinding, there are many unexpected things in the world, just like the weather, it was originally a blue sky and white clouds, a clear sky, and it is impossible to say when it will be stormy and thunderstormy.

Let's say that Er Laizi got two golden unicorns from the yakzi's house that day, and he was ecstatic.

These two small things don't seem to be big, but the yellow, orange, and orange gold, each has twenty taels, and two are forty taels.

What is the concept of forty taels of gold, in the past, with these gold, you can buy a house and land, and become a small landlord.

Now it is definitely not possible to buy a house and land, the policy does not allow it, but the more gold is released, the more valuable it is, and it can come in handy sooner or later.

Thanks to Baiqiu for making him the uncle of the He family, and thanks to his flexible mind and just right grasp the opportunity.

Now, he must hide the gold, not burying three feet in the ground, but he must take it out from time to time and take it out rarely.

Er Laizi went home to play and admire, pondered for a while, hid the golden unicorn in the cotton shoe shell, felt unsafe, and hid it on the beam, afraid of falling down.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

There are many rat holes under the gable of the house, and each rat hole is very deep, and no matter how sharp the rat's teeth are, they will not eat gold.

It's better to hide in a rat hole, he thinks he's smart enough to do it.

Erlaizi found a rag to wrap the two golden unicorns separately, and reached out to send them into the mouse hole.

This mouse hole is deep enough, Er Laizi stretched out his whole arm and took out the mouse nest, no mouse was found in it, and two small packages were placed in the location of the mouse nest.

After hiding the gold, Er Laizi went to the yard to pick up stones, and dug a spade of yellow soil to seal the mouse hole.

It's done, God doesn't know the ghost, God knows, the mouse knows he knows.

Baiqiu died, the child was gone, and Er Laizi had a muddy and nightmare these days, and he was bored, and he couldn't lift his spirits.

Now it's different, the two golden unicorns injected stimulants into Erraizi, and he wants to laugh in his dreams, and begins to fantasize that he can live a human life in the future.

Hehe, bread will be there, and pretty women will be there.

On the second day, Er Laizi collected some wild vegetables from his father and fellow villagers, handed over the house and vegetable garden to his father to take care of, and he rode a tricycle into the city again.

Nowadays, Erlaizi is pulling goods in the city, which is not as smooth as before, there are few tricycles and rickshaws, squatting on street corners, fighting guerrillas, and no one is to manage them.

Now, there are many people who are optimistic about this way to make money, the investment is not large, they come and go freely, and they feel that this business can be done, so more and more people are doing this business.

Not only that, but the bicycle management office has also begun to register and license the modified tricycle according to the bicycle management.

Erlaizi is not a city hukou and can go into the city to sell mountain goods, but he is not allowed to pull goods in the city to solicit business.

There are often market management office personnel and public security officers to investigate the idle people on the streets, and Er Laizi is often reported and punished, so he has to hide in Tibet and change places with one shot.

Fortunately, the urban area is large, and if you can't do it here, you can go elsewhere, but the business of pulling goods has been greatly affected.

Er Laizi still lives in Liu Tong's house every night, and people like him are lonely after a long time.

Things gather by like, people are divided by groups, the so-called fish and shrimp look for shrimp, Er Laizi has been in the city for a long time, and knows some street gangsters.

He was beaten by the gangsters, but he didn't know each other without beating, and he gradually became a raccoon dog with the gangsters.

No matter how clear the world is, there is also a dark and dirty side.

Some of these street gangsters are thieves, some are ruffians, and some specialize in pimping prostitutes and collecting business for underground gambling houses.

Er Laizi is now a person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, and he has a few stinky money in his hand, so he is itchy and uncomfortable, and often spends some prostitution money to fool around with the dusty woman, and is occasionally pulled to the dark village gambling game to throw dice and push pai gow to try his luck.

It is not easy for Lai Zi to pull goods to make money, and he has tried his skills in the dark village gambling game several times, and his luck is not bad, winning more and losing less.

Gambling is easier than pulling goods to make money, it is both exciting and exciting, and Er Laizi gradually became addicted, although he won a lot of money, but almost all of it was spent on women.

Over time, the gambler's regulars became impatient with Er Laizi and began to join forces to deal with him.

Er Laizi lost money several times in a row, and the more he lost, the more he wanted to get his capital back, but the deeper he fell, the more he lost, the more he lost, and later, he realized that something was wrong.

Erlaizi is not stupid, he knows the depth of the casino, and he does not dare to continue to fight, so he has to admit defeat in betting, and stop in moderation.

Er Laizi has a flexible brain, he found that usury gambling debts are a million profits, and there are no losses, and the casino rules are to repay debts, and there are ruffians who are responsible for debt collection, and there are no worries.

Er Laizi knows that there is never a shortage of gamblers in underground gambling houses, and what is lacking is the capital of money lending.

The tricycle pulls goods in the wind and rain, hides and hides, and makes an average of two or three yuan a day with great effort.

It is a dangerous business to lend usury and borrow gambling debts, but the desire for profit is consumed, and the cowardice is not allowed to sit on the general.

Er Laizi relies on himself to have two golden unicorns, and he is ready to sell one and participate in loan sharking.

made up his mind, Er Laizi began to spend money to bribe the boss of the underground gambling house, wooed the ruffian hooligan brother, and soon figured out the way to join the gang.

At present, in order to repay the debts of the Soviet Union, the state is openly purchasing private gold and silver, and the official purchase price of one or two pure gold is 140 yuan, and the private buying price is about 120 yuan.

Er Laizi heard that the bank staff have the hard task of purchasing private gold and silver, and they are eager to see through the private sellers, and they are hungry and thirsty, and the underground gambling houses are very wild in this regard, so they don't have to worry about having gold and silver to sell them.

In this case, Er Laizi did not hesitate, went to the department store to buy some gifts for Liu Tong and her family, and rushed back to Xingfutun on a tricycle.

At the intersection of the third production team, Er Laizi went directly to Liu Tong's house, and the gift and the good words of the three-inch tongue coaxed Liu Tong and her family to feel at ease with Er Laizi.

Er Laizi left Liu Tong's house and returned directly to Xingfutun.

Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and it is now midsummer August.

This year is another year of great drought, from spring to now, not only did it not rain a few times, but also suffered from locust plagues, and the members of Xingfutun were fighting with the sky and the earth every day, suffering unspeakably and worried.

Erlaizi has not returned to Xingfutun for a while, he arrived home at noon, as soon as he appeared in Xingfutun, his parents and villagers thought it was a new thing, many people asked him how much money he earned, and some asked him for money for mountain goods, and entrusted him to sell mountain goods.

Erlaizi became the sweetheart of the people in Tunli for a while. From the moment he stepped into the house, the house was full of people coming and going, and he never had the opportunity to dig gold in the rat hole.

It wasn't until it was dark at night, and no one came to the house, that Er Laizi lit the oil lamp, lay in the corner of the big gable, cut out the unearthed stones, and took out the golden unicorn.

According to his own ideas, Er Laizi picked up a golden unicorn, wrapped the other one and put it in the mouse hole.

On the second day, Er Laizi rode a tricycle into the city early.

When he arrived in the city, Er Laizi was more cautious, and after several twists and turns, he found a home that he thought was safe to receive the goods, and sold the golden unicorn at 230 yuan each.

A total of 20 taels of pure gold, 2,600 yuan, one hand to pay the money and the other hand to deliver, the second Laizi took out 100 yuan to distribute to the middleman, and the two sides agreed to keep their mouths shut.

In other words, this golden unicorn finally entered the bank, due to the huge amount, the bank reported to the Public Security Bureau, to find out the source, the middleman was afraid of responsibility, so he had to lead the People's Police of the Public Security Bureau to find Erlaizi.
