After Yu'er knew that I had bought Master Wu's field and house for 4,000 silver dollars, she laughed at me for being stupid and said that I was a real fool.

She also said, "Am I mistaken? You're just occasionally acting like you're smart, and I'm thinking you're smart? ”

I told her that since his son, who had gone to college, also went to join the Communist Party, I think the Communist Party would definitely become a climate in the future, and I had to leave a way out for our future and the Qian family.

She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

I said, "Don't tell anyone about it." ”

Even my father-in-law's family came to laugh at me for being stupid and deceitful, not to mention the villagers outside who looked down on me as a doorman.

I am not angry at the ridicule and ridicule of others. Yu'er also showed impassivity. So people say we're stupid.

Although we had money in our hands, I went to my father-in-law and begged him to lend me money to buy a field.

He stretched his face and said loudly, "Do you want me to be with you?" ”

I said, "With more land and your own house, Yu'er can live the life of a rich wife, don't you want your daughter to live the life of Mrs. Nakuo?" ”

He said, "But the price is ······."

I said, "Not much, not much at all." ”

He glared at me.

I said, "If Wu Fa is not in some emergency, will he be able to buy his land and house at this price?" I'm afraid that I can't even double. ”

His complexion softened.

I said, "If I don't pay this price, I'm afraid I won't be able to get my turn." ”

He pondered.

I said, "Besides, it's not far from here with you, Daddy, and if anything happens to Yu'er, I mean if you come to our house with your legs stretched." ”

He suddenly said, "Isn't it good to live together as a family?" ”

I said, "What about the tongue and teeth?" ”

And he did not speak.

I said, "If Daddy is worried that we won't repay the loan, he can stake our land deed in your hands." ”

He leaned back in his chair and exhaled a long breath before saying, "It's not that I'm afraid that you won't pay it back, it's just that this price will really make others laugh at me, even I think it's a joke." ”

I said, "If Daddy is afraid that I will make you laughed at by others, I will have to borrow money from other masters and give them satisfactory interest." ”

He said coldly, "Okay, you go." ”

I stood up and walked outside.

He said to me on the back, "Just go and hit the wall, and see if the other men will believe you and lend you money." ”

I said, "I have what they believe in." ”

He said, "What is it?" Buy Wu Fa's land contract? Don't forget, you don't have it yet. ”

I didn't look back, I just said, "Definitely." ”

He said, "Is it ······?"

He didn't go on. But I stood and turned to stare at him with a smile, and finished speaking for him: "Yes, with Yu'er's dowry, you gave us the wing house and the ten acres of land as collateral, and I am sure they will lend it to me." ”

He glared at me angrily and exclaimed, "Foolish! ”

Still smiling, I said to him, "If I don't meet the deadline, I'm afraid of this room······ Daddy must not want someone with another surname to live in your room. ”

He cried out, "Rebel! ”

I said, "Does Daddy borrow or not?" ”

He was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

Because I bought a field and a house, I didn't have to run the ferry anymore.

But he was reluctant to burn the ship bought by the two oceans as firewood.

Yu'er said, "If you don't use it to make firewood, what else can you do?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Money." ”

She said, "Money? ”

I said leisurely, "Not bad at all." ”

She said: "Can this broken ship be turned into money? Do you think there are many people like you in this world? ”

I don't know if she's laughing at me or complimenting me. But I said, "It's because there are so few people like me that I can exchange it for money." ”

She sneered and said, "Who would buy this broken ship?" ”

I said, "Not only will someone buy it, but I can get it back to 10 times the price I paid for it." ”

She said, "You're crazy! ”

I said, "I'm normal." ”

She touched my forehead with her hand and said, "You're not sick, are you?" ”

I said, "I'm healthier than a bull plowing the land, don't believe you." ”

With that, I pushed her down on the bed and crushed her underneath me. She giggled, but I took the opportunity to lift her clothes······

The bed shook rhythmically, and Yu'er's gasping sound was just on the rhythm of the bed's shaking.

I went to the town and found a printing shop, printed two hundred tickets, and then rowed the boat to the ground and parked it on the dock. I went out into the street, borrowed a table and set it on the side of the street and started selling lottery tickets.

The lottery tickets are one by one, but the prize is a boat.

What a bargain it is to win a boat for one dollar!

My front was crowded with people buying lottery tickets. Instead of suspecting that something was wrong, they were also red-faced, fearing that the lottery tickets would be bought by others.

The two hundred tickets were sold out quickly.

The winner of the lottery is a big man.

I took the man to the docks, pointed to my boat and said, "This boat is yours." ”

He stared at the ship in surprise and said, "This, this is too old." ”

I said, "It's a little old, but it's not leaking yet, so it's okay to run a ferry to fish." ”

He said: "If you put it in the Jinsha River, I am afraid that a wave will fall apart." ”

I said, "If you don't like it, I'll give it back to you." ”

Somehow, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "No need. ”

After saying that, he rushed over and jumped on the boat, and hurriedly inspected the inside and outside of the boat.

As soon as I saw it, I immediately turned around and blended into the crowd and left.

Just because I found out that he was a river thief, checking whether the ocean hidden at the bottom of the ship was still there.

When I got home, I handed over two hundred yuan to Yu'er and stared at her triumphantly.

She looked at Qian in surprise and looked at me again, and it took a long time to speak: "You, how did you do it?" ”

I said, "I didn't sell the boat, I just gave it as a prize." ”

She said, "Prizes? ”

I told her exactly what had happened.

She smiled and said, "You have a lot of tricks, and this mind is not in vain." ”

I said, "I didn't bother much, I just took advantage of people's greed." ”

She said, "You're such a clever fool! ”

It was not until this winter, when I took advantage of the dry season to invite craftsmen and poor people from nearby villages to collect stones from the river and build a dam, that people stopped laughing at me for being stupid and looked at me with respect.

There are many rich men on both sides of the river, but none of them are willing to spend money to build a dam or donate a bridge on the river to facilitate the movement of people on both sides of the river.

But today, they saw me doing it.

Yu'er didn't stop me from building this embankment, just because she knew that what I did was always right. I also understand that with this embankment, it is very convenient to manage the fields on the opposite bank.

But she didn't understand the other thing I did: keeping pigeons.
