Pig Killer

Chapter 152

"Of course not, the prerequisite is that you have learned the skills well." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "I want to go! Wait until you are 18. Forget it now."

Hearing this, the expression on Da Chong's face turned from gloomy to bright and he said, "I didn't say I'd go now! I'm eighteen years old! It's only about ten years."

"If you want to travel around, it's easy to go to the city. As long as you have money, you won't have to worry about food and drink. If you are in a place without a village or a shop, you will have to sleep in the wilderness." Shen Hui'e continued to add more beanstalks, "Then you have to..."

The big bug said with a smile, "Then I will catch rabbits and roast them myself! I can also dig rabbit holes."

"What about skinning rabbits?" Shen Hui'e asked, smiling at him, "What about killing fish? You have to be able to take care of yourself, especially in the wild. Can you tell the direction and not get lost?" Pointing in the direction of the forest, "We usually chop wood, pick wild fruits, and catch game at the edge of the forest. Once we enter the forest, can we find the way home? Can we know the directions of east, south, west, and north?"

"Uh..." Da Chong was speechless after being asked, and he remained silent for the whole question.

"Do you really think it's so good to travel around? Eat and drink, broaden your horizons. Clothes come to you, food comes to you, that's what someone prepared for you." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Food doesn't grow in the ground, it needs your sweat to water it. From food to food, someone has to prepare it. Mulberry and hemp are also woven by people thread by thread."

Shen Hui'e looked at him deeply and said, "Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by; every piece of silk should be appreciated as it is not easy to produce."

"Learn! I will learn!" The big tiger looked at him firmly with its shining eyes.

"But what about this direction?" Da Chong looked at her in distress and said.

"Look at the sun!" Cheng Donglai said, "It rises in the east and sets in the west."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The tiger nodded hurriedly.

"What if it's cloudy? What if there's no sun?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with raised eyebrows.

"This..." I was stunned by the question.

"Observe this slowly, and you will find that the direction is not that difficult." Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"Is your sister-in-law here?" Huang Bochang shouted loudly while standing at the gate.

"It's uncle." Da Chong's eyes lit up when he heard that. He jumped out of the kitchen and went to greet him.

"Big Chong, is your mother here?" Huang Bochang asked him with a frown.

"Here they are! Here they are!" Da Chong turned around and shouted at the kitchen, "Mother, uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle are all here."

Shen Hui'e quickly calmed down her anger, patted the dried bean leaves on her body, walked out of the kitchen and said, "Why are you here together?" Looking at their unhappy faces, she said, "What's wrong? What happened?" Pointing to the wooden table and bench, she said, "Sit down, let's sit down and talk."

"Hey... tell me how to deal with this stupid thing." Huang Bochang said angrily with a dark face.

"What's wrong?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with concern and asked. The three grown men hung their heads, looking wilted like eggplants hit by frost.

"Speak up! If something happens, let's discuss it!" Shen Hui'e looked at the three of them opposite one by one and said.

"I can't say this, so you speak, third brother." Huang Bochang glanced at his third brother and said.

Huang Shuchang looked at himself, blinked and said, "Old Four, you tell me, we did this stupid thing, so you tell me!"

Huang Jichang opened and closed his mouth, slapped his thigh and said, "It's nothing, it's just that someone borrowed money and finally refused to acknowledge it."

"How much did you borrow?" Shen Hui'e asked with concern.

"It's not much, just one thousand copper coins." Huang Jichang said unwillingly, "Is it really nothing for us now?" He puffed his cheeks like a frog, "The key is that I feel aggrieved." He slammed the table and said angrily, "Damn it, I'm the only one who owes others money, no one has ever dared to owe me money."

One thousand coins, this is really rich, Shen Hui'e thought to herself. For ordinary people, it is a lot of money.

"Why did you lend money to others? Is it someone you know?" Shen Hui'e asked them with her deep and bottomless eyes.

"We are acquaintances, I guess!" Huang Bochang said after thinking for a while.

Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows when she heard this and looked at them and guessed with certainty, "We just met now."

"Yeah!" Huang Bochang took a deep breath and said, "When we were doing business in the next county, we got to know each other and became familiar with each other. He seemed to be a very honest person. He said that someone in his family had a sudden illness and was short of money, so he asked to borrow money from us."

Huang Shuchang slapped his hands and said angrily, "Who knew that once the money was lent out, it would never come back."

"Didn't you write a promissory note?" Shen Hui'e said, staring at them.

"No! I thought we were all acquaintances, why should I write a promissory note? I'm too embarrassed to ask!" Huang Shuchang scratched his ear and said guiltily, "Besides, how can I write a promissory note if I can't read?"

"So, we can't report to the police without the loan agreement." Shen Hui'e looked at them helplessly.

"I have never been to a government office since I was a child." Huang Bochang looked straight at her and said.

"Maybe it was possible before, but not in the future." Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "In the past, we didn't leave the village, and we all knew each other. If you need help, just shout. If you really don't pay back the money, find someone to mediate." Willow eyebrows raised slightly, "It won't be possible in the future. You can't be so open-hearted to someone after knowing them for only two days. Who knows if they are approaching you intentionally with a purpose!"

"No way! Did you do it on purpose?" Huang Bochang looked at her hesitantly and said.

"That's hard to say." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a slight movement in her eyes and said, "Does he know that your ceiling business is profitable?"

"I guess he doesn't know this!" Huang Bochang said uncertainly.

"Now that Second Sister-in-law mentioned that, I remember that he seemed to be walking past the door when the silk shop paid the balance last time." Huang Shuchang clapped his hands and said with his eyes wide open, "That's right. He said he was looking for the toilet."

"Damn it, it turns out this was premeditated." Huang Jichang slammed the table and stood up, saying, "I'm going to settle the score with him."

"Come back, come back." Huang Shuchang grabbed his arm and said, "Do you have any evidence? This is just our guess."

"Then we'll have to bear the loss." Huang Jichang said in a muffled voice and sat down unwillingly.

"Otherwise! Just take it as a lesson." Huang Bochang took a deep breath and endured it, "I won't borrow money casually anymore in the future."

"You can't be afraid of the rope after being bitten by a snake once." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as black as black jade and said, "What if it really comes to an emergency!"

"My sister-in-law means to write a promissory note." Huang Bochang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard it.

"Yes, yes! We should always prepare for a rainy day. Now we are not in our village, nor in the county. The seventh and eighth companies are all relatives. We can find someone to mediate." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep eyes and said, "Let me be frank in advance. If something really happens, we can report it to the police."

"But we can't write!" Huang Bochang hesitated and said embarrassedly.

"Learn! Uncle can learn!" Da Chong looked at them with his round and black eyes and said, he somewhat understood what A Niang had just said, that if he suffered a loss, he would take the initiative to learn to recognize words.

"We still have to learn to read at this age!" Huang Jichang spread out his hands and said, "Can I hold a pen with my chicken claws?"

"If you don't do the ceiling business, you will live in the village all your life. The farthest place you can go is the county, and your living area is just this small piece of land. It doesn't matter whether you can read or not. Anyway, the people you know are illiterate, so they live well, right?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "It's different now. If you want to go out and expand your business, then literacy is a must."

The three Huang brothers looked at her thoughtfully, "You really need to learn!"

Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "Do you keep accounts?"

"Uh..." The three Huang brothers looked at each other and finally shook their heads.

"The money we handle now is not just a few hundred copper coins, but will be much more in the future. Do we have to remember everything with our heads?" Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and said, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Write it down so that you can find it easily when you forget it."

"We don't have the time to learn this!" Huang Bochang said after a long pause.

"Where are the younger generations?" Shen Hui'e looked at them unhappily and said, "They are all half-grown children. They have to inherit their father's business and educate the younger generations well, otherwise the wealth will not last for more than three generations."

"Uh..." Huang Bochang scratched his head and said, "We didn't think that much."

"Even if you don't do business, you still have to train the next generation well!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "If a child is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. Follow your example, you are the role models for the children!"

"Then please help me, my sister-in-law. We can't read a single word, and we haven't thought too much about it." Huang Bochang clasped his hands together and said seriously, "We just want to make some money."

"Are you making money now?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with interested eyes.

"I made money, I made money, a lot of money!" Huang Bochang said excitedly, "I never thought I could make so much money."

"Then you have to be vigilant when making money." Shen Hui'e looked at them seriously with her deep eyes.

"What do you mean?" The three Huang brothers looked at her in confusion and asked.

"Now you're borrowing money and not paying it back. What if they're setting a trap for you?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and unfathomable eyes.

"Set a trap? What trap?" The three Huang brothers looked at her nervously.

"You look down on us country folk, so I'll get you a beauty!" Shen Hui'e said slowly, raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Cough cough..." The three Huang brothers were so frightened that they kept coughing.

"Why are you so surprised?" Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "This place of pleasure is a den of illicit sex. The copper coins in your hands are not even enough to touch the hands of the girls."

"No, no, with my current condition, I can't even get into someone else's house." Huang Bochang waved his hands in panic.

"Setting up a gambling game? Cheating you out of your hard-earned money." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep and bottomless eyes.
