Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Li Yuer pretended to be embarrassed and said, "If you buy this belt, it will be troublesome in the future."

"Why?" Li Erlang asked puzzledly.

"Look, this belt doesn't match your clothes."

Li Erlang looked down at his clothes. The light blue cloth was indeed not worthy of the belt.

With this in mind, he wondered whether he should go to the clothing store to buy a better piece of clothing later.

Li Yuer could also guess what he was thinking, which was another reason why he was so obsessed with spending: constant matching.

In the previous life, it is like you bought a fragrant pig hat, and then you felt that the clothes worth hundreds of dollars did not match the hat, so you went to buy clothes worth thousands of dollars, and after buying the clothes, you felt that the bag was not good... and so on, you would buy more and more, and become more and more crazy.

It's like drinking seawater, the more you drink, the hungrier you become, while buying luxury goods with credit is like a snowball, the debt keeps getting bigger.

Li Yuer continued, "If you buy clothes to match him, you have to buy shoes. But if you buy clothes and shoes, but he doesn't have a carriage or servants, it won't look right. Alas! According to our current situation, it will be neither fish nor fowl."

The more Li Erlang thought about it, the more it made sense. However, the little money he had was not enough to buy all these things!

Li Yuer then said, "Besides, you are dressed so well, standing next to your third uncle and eldest cousin, they seem inferior to you. If you go out together, many people will probably mistake them for your servants.

It's okay that my eldest cousin is sullen, but my third uncle will definitely not be willing to go out with you in the future. Our business is just starting out, and without my third uncle and his people, we won't have enough manpower, and it will be difficult to expand."

"This?" Li Erlang felt conflicted. He really liked this belt, but what Li Yuer said was true. It would be a bit out of place to wear just a nice belt without any other accessories.

Seeing that her elder brother had been almost convinced by her, Li Yuer continued, "How about this, come closer and I'll tell you a secret."

Li Erlang didn't hesitate and went straight over.

"Don't I have whale bones? I heard that Nongchaolou is going to hold a whale tasting banquet, and anything related to whales will definitely be popular at that time.

I plan to use whales to make some decorations to sell, including whale pendants and belt accessories. I will give one to each of you three. They are so rare. Just think about it, the best jade pendants cost dozens or even hundreds of taels. How good can the white jade inlaid on the belt be? If you meet someone who knows the business, you will know it is inferior at a glance.

But there aren't many pendants carved from whale bones, much less than the jade pendants on the market. Each of you three will get one, and I'll have the wooden man Zhang carve your names on it. There's only one in the world, so it's so unique and rare."

The more Li Erlang listened, the brighter his eyes became. This unique whale bone accessory with his name engraved on it, which even the rich and powerful couldn't buy, was simply amazing!

"Okay! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have bought the jade belt!"

After saying that, Li Erlang led Li Yuer out of the store.

Behind him, Li Yu'er muttered quietly, "Isn't it just to nip the problem in the bud and prevent you from going down a path of no return?"

However, Li Yuer knew that in order to change a person's mind, he needed to be guided slowly. Fortunately, Li Erlang was not the hopeless type and was still willing to listen to what she said.

If someone can successfully persuade, slowly guide and change a person when he or she just starts to spend money recklessly, the outcome will often be very different.

Seeing the two men leave like this, the waiter said unwillingly from behind: "Sir, don't you want your belt anymore?"

Li Erlang said, "I have something better."

The waiter muttered angrily, "Tsk! There are better ones, I guess you can't afford them!"

When they reached the door, Li Erlang took the initiative to push the cart and walked out.

The brother and sister took a quick stroll, bought some eggs, pork and vegetables, and then went to the agreed place at the town entrance to wait for Nao Nao and his friends.

Naonao and his friends arrived earlier than Li Yuer and the others. When they saw Li Yuer and the others, they waved at them happily.

"Yu Baoer, you are finally here. Where are Uncle San and the others?" Erdan said in a familiar manner.

Li Yuer said, "Let's go to other villages to see their brothers. We don't have to wait for them."

Nao Nao and a few other people were holding a candied haws in their hands, with only a few crumbs left on it. They probably didn't want to finish it all at once.

Nao Nao took out a candied haws wrapped in oil paper from his bag, handed it to Li Yu'er and said, "This is for you."

"Thank you." Li Yuer didn't expect that they were eating delicious food and still thinking about her. She was very happy and didn't refuse. She took it directly and started to eat.

Hawthorn is sour and sweet, really delicious and appetizing, suitable for people of all ages.

Li Erlang on the side was a little envious. Li Laosan had a group of brothers. Even though they were just bad friends, they were still presentable. Now even Li Yuer, who had just arrived in Fushui Village for a few days, had friends, but he didn't. Wasn't he embarrassed?

He remembered what Li Yuer had said just now, you are dressed so well that your eldest cousin and third uncle look like your followers.

Now, Li Erlang was somewhat glad that he did not buy the jade belt just now.

If he was really ostracized by his third uncle, wouldn't he be even more friendless and lose face in the future?

No, he has to win over his eldest cousin first. He can't be alone.

When they went back, they had no cargo and they didn't have much stuff with them, so they had to walk.

Li Yuer asked Naonao and the others to put the things on the cart. Naonao and the others did not let Li Erlang push the cart by himself in vain, and took turns pushing the cart from time to time.

Erdan and Biaozi were naughty and took turns riding in the cart and pushing the cart. However, they were very considerate of Li Yuer and asked her to sit in the cart after a while.

Naonao and his friends made a lot of money from selling seafood today, and they were very happy and excited.

It is difficult to come across big catches, even if you go out to sea and cast your nets you may not necessarily come across one. They bought some meat buns and candied haws to eat, and had three hundred copper coins left, one hundred each. In less than an entire morning yesterday, they had earned one hundred copper coins, which is several times more than an adult's income in a day at sea. They were very happy.

When they were almost at the entrance of the village, Erdan said, "Yubaoer, will you go fishing with us tomorrow?"

They knew that Li Yu'er was visiting Mr. Cai's home, but they didn't know when she would leave. To be honest, they were all reluctant to let Li Yu'er go.

Li Yuer said, "He should still be there tomorrow, so let's make an appointment and go together."

There have been high tides these days, which are suitable for beach hunting. There are not many places to beach hunting in winter, so of course Li Yuer also wants to go.

"Oh yeah!" Erdan said happily, "That's great!"

Naonao and Biaozi were also very happy.

After entering the village and walking not far, they saw Aunt Qiu'e burying something on the side of the road and muttering something in a mysterious voice.

"Hey! Look, what is Aunt Qiu'e doing?" Erdan asked, pulling Naonao's sleeve.

Naonao shook her head and said, "Many women in the village like to burn paper at the intersection. They probably ask their ancestors for blessings when they encounter troubles!"
