Chapter 14: The Story of a Mad Woman

"No, how can there be a reason to owe credit for eating? In our industry, we have always paid as we go, and who will rest assured that we owe money? ”

"Uncle, what kind of business are you doing?" Hao Maolin asked him stupidly.

This question actually made the atmosphere in the room tense. Except for Ho Tai Tai himself, everyone else was very unhappy, including Ah Xiang who was sitting on the bed.

"Hehe, that's a good question, that's a good question, boy, can't you see that I'm in a business without capital?"

"What kind of business is a business? Unless......? Uncle, you've confused me. Actually, Hao Maolin thought: Isn't it stealing without a business?

"Haha, this is a business, it depends on how you understand it? For example, I borrowed 10 yuan from a friend tonight, and I bet it up, and I won, and I pay back 10 yuan to my friend, and then I use the remaining 10 yuan to bet again, and I win again, and then I have 20 yuan in my hand, right? However, I don't have any money myself, do I? ”

When Hao Maolin heard this, he smiled and said: "Yes, it is indeed a business, but if you borrow ten yuan from a friend and lose it in the first round, isn't it just that you have nothing to return and you still owe ten yuan to others, how do you explain it?" ”

He Taitai listened, and was not annoyed, but just distinguished: "Of course there is such a possibility, but you will not only borrow once, nor can you lose every time you bet down, as long as you grasp it well, it is a matter of time before you win money, in short, you still need to learn to win money, this is a business without capital." ”

Hao Maolin still wanted to ask, but Ah Lei said angrily: "Abba, don't instill this kind of truth in others, none of these things are liked by serious people, if you keep talking, I will be angry." ”

He Taitai still seemed to be a little afraid of his son, but as soon as Ah Lei said this, he immediately stopped talking. Hao Maolin had no choice but to accept it when he saw it, and he also closed his mouth.

Hao Maolin filled his stomach at He's house, and when he had strength, he said goodbye to He's family and prepared to go home.

He walked out of He Jia's house not far away, but He Taitai suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking Hao Maolin on the road at the entrance of the village.

Hao Maolin didn't know what the old man wanted to do, so he had to stand and talk to him.

He Taitai said: "You kid, you slipped away after eating my meal, don't you say hello to me?" ”

Hao Maolin had no choice but to say: "Uncle He, it's not that I don't want to greet you, but you weren't at home at the time, and I had something urgent to rush home, so I didn't meet you, please forgive me." ”

He Taitai said: "I don't blame you for this matter, you said it, forget it." I still have one more thing I want to discuss with you, I see that you are also a cheerful person, I Lao He has something I want to ask you for help now, are you willing to help me Lao He do this? ”

Hao Maolin didn't know what medicine was sold in this old He gourd, so he said: "Uncle He, I don't know what you want me to help you with, and I don't know if I will be able to help you with this, how can I answer you?" ”

He Tai looked left and right and said, "Boy, do you have any money with you?" I Lao He was lucky last night and lost his capital, can you lend me a capital, I win it back, how about double the capital? ”

Hao Maolin knew that this gambler asked for help to borrow money from himself, so he shook his head and said: "Uncle He, don't tell you, I, Hao, am also shy in my pocket, where is the money to lend you."

He Taitai saw that Hao Maolin refused to lend him money, so he said: "You kid, you are young, why don't you put a child on your body?" This obviously doesn't believe me, right? So, I ask you, have you ever married a wife? ”

Hao Maolin smiled and said, "Uncle He, what does this have to do with whether I marry a wife or not?" ”

He Taitai said stubbornly: "I will ask you, married or not?" ”

Hao Maolin had no choice but to say: "Don't hide it from Uncle He, Hao's marriage has not yet been skimmed." ”

"Okay, you kid, it's really good luck, you've seen my daughter too, I can be the master of marrying her to you as a wife, as long as you take out a gift of five hundred yuan within half a month."

"Uncle He, you are saying that if I can get the gift money, you will marry your daughter to me as a wife, right?"

"Yes, you kid, so, I say, boy, you're in luck."

"But, don't let me hand over 500 yuan to you in half a month, even within a year or two, I won't be able to hand over this amount of money to you."

"I don't care about this, if you can't hand over this amount within half a month, don't want to marry my daughter, and I don't care if you steal, rob or gamble, you have to give me the money to come out, so that you can marry my daughter."

"I really can't scrape together so much money, can you lower the amount a little, so that I can have the possibility to scrape together enough money to marry your daughter."

"No, five hundred yuan is not less, in our scene, this amount of money is a few reincarnations, you really don't have the ability to do it, so I didn't say it."

"I think it's better to forget it, you don't have to worry about your daughter not being able to get married, and I can't get this money out at all, I'll go." Hao Maolin walked back dejectedly, walked for a while, thinking about the old man's words just now, his heart was on fire: "I am a man, I can't scrape together 500 yuan to marry a wife, isn't it shameful to spread this matter?" He was going to turn back and catch up with the old man, and at any rate he would agree to it first, and then he would start to think of other ways to go.

Just as Hao Maolin was thinking this, he suddenly turned around and saw He Taitai panting and chasing after him. Hao Maolin's mind is not simple, and he suddenly understood that Lao He must be chasing after him, of course, this gift money can definitely be discussed again.

Hao Maolin pretended to be in a hurry to go home, and walked quickly. He Taitai was shouting at him loudly in the back, and he stopped.

He said, "Uncle He, you have something else to look for me, I really have something urgent to rush home." ”

He Taitai said: "Boy, this matter, you can reconsider, you really can't take out the gift money, then, I can allow you to owe a part of it first, and then you can pay it back in the future when you have this money." ”

Hao Maolin asked him, "Uncle He, how much money do you want me to pay now to marry your daughter?" ”

"Four hundred, it can't be lowered any longer, just owe one hundred yuan and make up for it later."

"Four hundred yuan is too ugly, so let's do it, I'll work hard, two hundred and eight, I'm sure I'll send it to you within half a month?"

"No, no, two hundred and eight will definitely not work, so let's make a move, three hundred and eight, this number is auspicious, you can prepare it for me."

"Okay, that's it, I'm sure I can do it." Hao Maolin gritted his teeth and said.

The secretary said: "We don't know how Hao Maolin managed to make so much money in half a month, until Hao Maolin really got his wife, everyone knew that this Hao Maolin bachelor really has some skills." It was at that stage that there were frequent thefts in the village, but no one suspected him, because Hao Maolin had never been found to have committed theft before. ”

Since then, people in the village have begun to suspect Hao Maolin, until a few years ago, he was caught and sentenced to prison for stealing cattle.

Yang Jiewen asked the secretary: "Then when did his wife start to be mentally abnormal?" ”

The secretary said: "I can't tell you exactly what year it was. He turned his head and asked the village chief, who either didn't want to say it, or was as forgetful as the secretary, and he shook his head and said, "How can I know?"

Yang Jiewen was really angry with the two main 'parent officials' in this village, but it was not good to attack on the spot, so she had to stop asking.
