To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 65: Little Educated Youth and Big Emerald 8
Dao Yulan glanced at Li Yongqiang and said, "Yibu was like a possessed man, insisting on cutting this piece of material. The first cut cut a thick slice, and when it was opened, there was only a finger's worth of green. This is a piece of rubbish, with only the green on the surface. Now all the merchants who wanted to buy the material have left." Yibu was unwilling to give up and cut the material thirteen times. The remaining piece without loose flowers was thrown into the valley.
Li Yong thought, could this be fate? Li Yongqiang poured Dao Yulan another cup of tea: "What happened next?"
Dao Yulan took a sip of tea, tears welling in her eyes. "Yibu cost Zhao Meng three hundred thousand dollars for this piece of raw material. In a rage, Zhao Meng drove Yibu out of the manor. Yibu begged Zhao Meng to give him two acres of mountain land in our village, where the material was originally mined. Yibu then settled down in the village with his whole family. My father never learned Yibu's jade-appraising skills, and he loved gambling, so he quickly squandered the family fortune. Yibu also died in sorrow."
Seeing Dao Yulan's tears, Li Yongqiang felt really distressed and hugged this poor girl: "Everything will be fine. It must be Yibu's spirit in heaven who couldn't bear to see you suffer, so he arranged for us to meet."
Dao Yulan hugged Li Yongqiang's waist and burst into tears. "Dad doesn't treat us three sisters as human beings. In fact, all the money Yi Bu had set aside for my eldest brother's wedding, including our three sisters' dowries, was gambled away by him. Yi Bu said it was retribution for his love of gambling on stones, and his descendants also love gambling."
Dao Yulan burst into tears and said, "Brother, I can live with you even if we have to eat coarse food. Let's not get involved in gambling on stones. One knife makes you poor, one knife makes you rich, and one knife makes you wear sackcloth. There is no such thing as winning forever in gambling on stones."
Li Yongqiang was really moved when he saw this honest girl who was truly thinking about him. He took out a storage bag and showed it to Dao Yulan, and took out a lot of raw stones he had picked up from the storage bag.
Dao Yulan was stunned by what she saw. After she came to her senses, she went out to look around, then returned to the house and held Li Yongqiang's hand: "Brother, don't tell anyone about this. Yibu said that the innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Don't let others know about your magical skills. Yulan just wants to live a peaceful and stable life with you."
Li Yongqiang hugged the silly girl and said, "I got this purse by chance. With it, I can take care of you and lead a good life. These rough jades are worthless now, but you see, with such good jade, maybe one day people will rediscover the beauty of this kind of jade. We just put away the opportunity in advance."
Li Yongqiang also found that in an environment where everything is lacking, it is difficult for one person to keep the secret of the space, so it is better to reveal a little and share it with two people.
In this way, the quality of life of the Li family improved by leaps and bounds. The young wife Dao Yulan even dared to put more oil when cooking. Li Yongqiang found that his wife was very hardworking and rushed to cook. Her cooking skills were not bad, but she just didn't dare to add more oil. The dishes did not even have a speck of oil. She just used a ball of cotton to dip some oil and wipe the bottom of the pot.
The dish is not burnt at the bottom because my wife has good cooking skills. If she had poor cooking skills, the dish would be almost like pig food.
Li Yongqiang really couldn't eat this kind of food. In the words of the young master, you let me travel through time but didn't let me starve to death. Every day I eat corn porridge, sour bamboo shoots and pickled vegetables. You might as well throw me back. This is not something for human beings to eat.
So Li Yongqiang used the isolation talisman, and he and Dao Yulan enjoyed a good meal at home every day. Dao Yulan's complexion was obviously getting better.
Li Yongqiang used ten meters of floral cloth to exchange Dao Yulan for a pig-raising job from the village secretary. There were twelve pigs in the village. By the end of the year, six "task pigs" would be handed in and the remaining six could be divided among the villagers.
Dao Yulan is now responsible for raising pigs with two other women. Dao Yulan only needs to provide enough pig feed every day and she doesn't have to worry about anything else. She earns five work points a day.
Dao Yulan went home with Li Yongqiang after work that day. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Dao's mother sitting at the gate of their yard.
Dao Mu looked exhausted, with a red slap mark on her right cheek.
Dao's mother saw tears in Dao Yulan's eyes and said: "Yulan, are you doing well? Mom just came to see you."
Dao Yulan felt bad when she saw the handprint on her mother's face. She only said, "I'm doing fine. Don't worry about me."
Dao's mother said, "There's no such thing as a big grudge among family members. Your father just has a bad temper, and your brother always nags at you. Now your brother is getting married, do you want to go and see him?"
Dao Yulan knew Dao's mother too well: "Just tell me what you like about me. What's there in me that you haven't gotten yet? It's a good thing Yibu died early, otherwise he would have been pissed off by you two, the couple who sold their child! Our Dao family has to be so destitute that we have to sell our daughter to survive!"
Dao's mother said timidly, "You bought new clothes for your wedding, and your eldest brother's family needs two new sets of clothes for his wife. Can you lend your new wedding clothes to your sister-in-law?"
Dao Yulan was extremely disappointed with this family. "Don't talk about lending it so nicely. Didn't Dad gamble away the money again? You spent the money from selling me, and you saw the clothes I made for my wedding. Why didn't you consider that I only had a worn-out dress when I got married, and you didn't even give me a piece of extra cloth!"
As she spoke, Dao Yulan took Li Yongqiang's hand and slammed the yard door shut with a loud bang.
Dao's mother turned around and left with a look of gloom on her face. Her daughter no longer cared about the mother-son relationship after getting married.
Dao Yulan made a dish of stir-fried pork with sour bamboo shoots, a loofah and egg soup, a plate of shredded potatoes, and also fried a plate of peanuts for Li Yongqiang to go with the wine.
After dinner, Li Yongqiang cleaned up the dishes and said to the depressed Dao Yulan, "If you want to cry, just cry in my arms. I won't laugh at you.
How could Dao Yulan hold back her anger at this moment? She lay in Li Yongqiang's arms and cried breathlessly: "They want to destroy me. I just got married and they took 300 yuan and were not satisfied. Today they like my clothes and tomorrow they like our work points. If a girl had such a hindering family, how could she have a good life in her husband's family? Wuuuuu... That's how they harmed my second sister. Wuuuuu..."
What could Li Yongqiang say? He could only comfort Dao Yulan and change the subject quickly. He told Dao Lao San and his family to get lost. "Stop crying! It's not worth getting angry over people who don't love you. The Water Splashing Festival is almost here, and you haven't thought about how to celebrate it yet. We still have a lot of material from the last purchase. You should think about making some nice clothes. I want to see you do the peacock dance during the Water Splashing Festival!"
Dao Yulan looked at her husband carefully trying to cheer her up and burst into laughter. "She leaned over and whispered in Li Yongqiang's ear, 'I'll only dance for you, brother. Grandpa Lan will definitely be back for the Water Splashing Festival, and then we'll go to him to pick out some fabrics!'"
