Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

"Eat and ignore that shrew." Lu Hai comforted Jiang Lanqing.

However, seeing Jiang Lanqing's absent-minded look, Lu Hai thought she was still concerned about what Li Yuelan had just said. As a business tycoon in later generations, he could naturally tell at a glance that his subordinates were worried.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Jiang Lanqing hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly said, "Where did you get the money?"

Lu Hai smiled and replied, "I earned it."

"You earned it?" Jiang Lanqing's eyes narrowed. "What do you do to earn more than one dollar a day?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Hai immediately understood.

After all, in that era, the work points that the members earned after working so hard all day were only worth three or four cents.

Only the workers in the factory can earn more than one yuan a day.

And what about Lu Hai?

He is lazy and likes to eat, drink, gamble and have sex. How can he earn more than one yuan a day to buy food, meat, soy sauce and other things?

Therefore, Lu Hai guessed that Jiang Lanqing thought he was out gambling again.

However, in the eyes of people in this era, setting up stalls is speculation, which is unacceptable to many people.

So, for a moment, Lu Hai didn't know how to explain it to his wife.

Seeing Lu Hai's silence, Jiang Lanqing's eyes became a little moist. She originally thought that Lu Hai had become a better person, but she never expected that in just one day, he would start cheating again.

"We must not do anything deceptive or fraudulent. If we are caught stealing, we will go to jail!"

When Lu Hai heard this, he knew that Jiang Lanqing had misunderstood.

However, he did not blame her. After all, he was indeed a bastard in the past and had let down such a good girl.

As for the things she had done in the past, if it happened to another girl in the future, she would have run away long ago, even if she had a child. Only Jiang Lanqing could endure it and kept cleaning up for her silently and without complaint.

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, Lu Hai decided to tell Jiang Lanqing the truth.

"Actually, these are what I earned from setting up a stall in the city today."

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Lanqing heard this and his face suddenly changed, "Are you crazy?! This is speculation and profiteering. If you are caught by the police, you will go to jail!"

"Besides, if it's serious, you'll have to be beaten with peanuts! How dare you touch this?"

Lu Hai fell silent when he heard this. He knew that if he told her about this, she would definitely not understand.

"Lu Hai, we can't do this. We have hands and feet. Even if we work in the fields, the work points we earn will be enough to maintain our food and clothing!" Jiang Lanqing advised.

Lu Hai was deeply moved when he heard this. After all, he had done so many bad things in the past, but this girl's first reaction now was still to think well of him. Moreover, Lu Hai knew that the expression on her face was sincere and it came from the heart.

"Actually, I just went there to sell some loaches and eels. It can't be considered speculation."

"Why... doesn't this count?"

Lu Hai had already organized his speech in his mind. "I read in the newspapers these days that a large number of educated youth have returned to the city, but you also know that there are only a few jobs available. Therefore, many cities have allowed those educated youth who have returned to the city to set up stalls."

"Besides, speculation and profiteering are now mainly handled by the industrial and commercial departments. At most, they will deduct your illegal gains. Only when the circumstances are particularly serious will you be arrested by the police and sent to jail. So, I just sell some loaches, which is far from being speculation and profiteering."

Jiang Lanqing hesitated for a moment, "But what if you are caught? Even if you don't get shot, what if you are arrested and detained for a few days?"

Lu Hai waved his hand. "It's not as exaggerated as you say. The worst that can happen is that I can be more careful and run away as soon as I see the police. This thing doesn't cost much anyway."

"How much do you earn in a day? If it's less, there's no need for us to take the risk." Jiang Lanqing was still worried and felt that taking such a big risk was completely unnecessary.

Lu Hai smiled mysteriously, "Guess."

Then he patted his pocket.

"Shouldn't this cost at least three dollars?" Jiang Lanqing said tentatively.

"Hmm..." Lu Hai shook his head and took out the money he earned today from his pocket, "Twelve yuan! One pound of meat coupons and three pounds of grain coupons!"

"Hiss!" Jiang Lanqing took a breath of cold air, "So many?!"

You know, the money she got from the team was only twelve yuan a month. If you deduct the food rations, it would be less than ten yuan.

However, the money Lu Hai earned in one day was actually more than what he earned in a month!

Now she finally understood why so many people would want to engage in speculation.

After all, this money can be earned much faster than working in the fields!

For a moment, Jiang Lanqing couldn't help but be moved, mainly because they had lived through too many hard times, and who wouldn't want to live a rich life?

"But is everything really okay?" Jiang Lanqing was still worried that Lu Hai would go to jail after being caught.

"It's really okay, don't worry. Right now it's just that the national policy hasn't been issued yet. However, because some cities in the country have already opened up the policy, even if the policy hasn't been issued, they will turn a blind eye and the management will not be as strict as before." Lu Hai waved his hand.

"Then you must be careful and don't get caught." Jiang Lanqing warned, "If others don't sell, we won't sell either. Don't be the first one to do so. If you get caught, you'll be used as an example."

Jiang Lanqing saw that her man had become a better person and thought about finding him a job, which was a good thing. In addition, Lu Hai also said that setting up a stall was not considered speculation now, so she let him do what he wanted.

It's much better than following those bad friends to steal and rob every day.

"Don't worry, I have a good eye." Lu Hai said with a smile, and then put a piece of meat into Jiang Lanqing's bowl, "Try it and see if the meat tastes good."

Thinking that Lu Hai was willing to find a job, Jiang Lanqing felt as happy as if he had eaten honey.

After tasting the meat, I felt so happy.

The two had finished their meal and were still clearing things off the table.

Li Yuelan's shouting suddenly came from outside the door.

"Lu Hai, you little bastard, come out here! Don't think you can get away with hiding in the house. You must give me an explanation for the slap you gave me today!"

Jiang Lanqing frowned slightly and was about to open the door to go out and argue with Li Yuelan.

However, Lu Hai grabbed her arm directly and asked, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Lanqing was furious. "Go out and argue with her, or just let her scold you outside?"

"Your man is not dead yet. How can you hide behind your woman when something happens?" Lu Hai said unhappily.

"Go wash the dishes first, I'll go check it out."

Having said that, Lu Hai walked towards the door.

Looking at Lu Hai's back, Jiang Lanqing felt warm inside for some reason.

In the past, Lu Hai would never care about these things. If I brought shame to him, I might even be beaten and scolded.

Now that I see him standing in front of me, it would be a lie to say that I am not moved.

"What are you yelling about so late at night? If you don't sleep, others will too." After Lu Hai opened the door, he saw Li Yuelan standing at the door with her hands on her hips and said unhappily.

"You finally came out," Li Yuelan glared at Lu Hai, then shouted behind her, "Village head, it was this second-rate bastard Lu Hai who beat me in front of everyone. Did you do anything about it?"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a little gray hair on his temples walked out of the crowd, looked at Lu Hai and said, "Haizi, is this true?"
