To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 84 Extreme Survival in the Republic of China 4
Li Wenting said to Butler Liu:
"Clouds go west and wear straw raincoats. This saying is very true."
Butler Liu nodded and said, "The boss said the old saying:
"The easterly rain won't come up, and if it does, there's no stove to cook on. The crops in the fields will suffer if this rain comes."
The heavy rain lasted for a day and a night before it stopped. The north wind blew and the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. The vegetable gardens in front of and behind the house were watered and turned green.
Mushrooms sprouted beneath rotting fences, and the roadside drains brimmed with water. Steward Liu, wearing his boots, left the village and reached the banks of the Liu River. He saw the water had risen considerably, toppling the crops along the riverbank. Steward Liu slapped his thigh. "Everything's flooded! This old farmer's entire year's harvest is gone!"
Steward Liu reported to his boss with a heavy heart that the crops had been severely flooded this year. The grain loaned to the farmers was gone. The loan had left him with a hole of thousands of dollars.
Then a smart person would say that if the money lent to the poor doesn't work, then take their land and house, or if that doesn't work, then take their daughter to pay off the debt.
If Housekeeper Liu had heard this, he'd have spitted in his face. What could a poor family possibly use as collateral? What would the village owner do with the house? Use it as a barn? As for using someone's daughter as collateral, go ahead. Regardless of whether there was a daughter to pay off the debt, the villagers still had to live here in the future. Why would they do such a thing?
If you offend the poor, you'll lose dozens of pounds of grain per acre. Bullying the villagers is the stuff of fools. With a bad reputation, it's hard to find permanent or temporary workers. Are you going to let the owner cultivate all this land himself? It'll take forever to finish it all!
Li Wenting looked at the dejected housekeeper Liu and asked, "How many dan of grain are left at home?"
Steward Liu replied, "The master's family currently has 2000 dan of coarse grain and 200 dan of fine grain. We have almost finished with our large livestock, so we are using less coarse grain."
Li Wenting: "Butler Liu, if there are people who are struggling and want to borrow grain, I can help them out."
Butler Liu flattered him: "It's because the boss is kind-hearted. These people have never paid back the grain and money they borrowed on time. When they ask for money, they are really stubborn.
Normally I am the housekeeper, but when I come to collect the debt they are the bosses. They are really not afraid of paying back the money.
Li Wenting was poor and could only take care of himself. He had the conditions to help his fellow villagers when they were in trouble. He only helped in emergencies but not in poverty.
Li Wenting's family has more important things to do. The mortal enemy that the original owner's family has been brooding over has not been resolved yet!
Han Laogeda, the bandit from Daliangzi Mountain, and Watanabe Taro, the Japanese ronin from the Quanye Company, must be eliminated, otherwise the inner demon will not be able to bear it. The three members of the Li family always recall the tragic death of the original owner's family in their memories.
On the banks of the Liu River lived a group of bandits known as "bearded men," who would extort tolls from passing merchants. Han Lauda, with his hooked nose, cinnabar palms, and prominent ears, would spend his days in brothels run by Koreans, soliciting women and enjoying foreign food. He would either lie on the kang, smoking opium or flirting with women.
He colluded with the Japanese ronin Watanabe Taro in the opium den. When the seller of the land that Watanabe liked was unwilling to sell, he sent Han Laogada to kidnap the seller. Han Laogada chopped off one of the victim's fingers and threatened the victim that he would kill him if he didn't sell the land.
The victim had no choice but to sell his land at a very low price. With the help of this lackey, Watanabe Taro seized tens of thousands of acres of land in Xinminfu.
It can be said that Han Laogeda has committed countless crimes that are too numerous to list!
Han Laugeda, this lackey, was enjoying his life in a brothel run by the Japanese, but he never expected that the retribution waiting for him would be here soon.
Han Laugeda walked out of the brothel with unsteady steps, and returned to the riverbank on horseback with a gun across his shoulders.
He sat down on the kang, took out his pipe and puffed on two bubbles, then picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip. After drinking this sip of tea, Han Lao Geda's whole body became stiff and he couldn't move. He wanted to shout, but no sound came out of his throat.
What was even more terrifying was that two vines appeared out of nowhere and circled around Han Laugeda's neck twice.
The two circles of vines became tighter and tighter, and Han Laugeda found it difficult to breathe. After a while, Han Laugeda gave up struggling and his hands dropped.
Overnight, the bandit Han Laugeda in Hetao was wiped out.
Han Laogeda and his group of evil subordinates all went to meet the King of Hell.
Li Yujin touched the leaves of the lazy lady and kept praising her. At the same time, he asked the lazy lady to clean up the battlefield and see if Han Lao Geda had left any valuable private property for him.
As a result, the lazy lady dug deep into the ground and only found more than a thousand dollars and a few small yellow croakers. Li Yujin looked at the big pipe on the kang table and shook his head involuntarily. This was a waste of money. All the money was spent on smoking opium.
The next one is Watanabe Taro. This guy knows that he has made too many enemies, so he hides in a Japanese brothel and never comes out.
But Li Yujin felt that even if his grandson ran into a rat hole today, he would definitely die.
The lazy lady slipped into the second floor of the Songmaoli brothel like a yellow croaker. Although Xiao Pu was a bit of a spoiled brat, he was good at following her.
In the second room on the left on the second floor, Taro Watanabe was listening to two Japanese women singing a little song.
The Japanese woman's hoarse voice that sounded like crying made the lazy lady feel nauseous. The wailing as if her parents had died was really unlucky, and the lazy lady was so worried that her branches and leaves were shaking.
Watanabe Taro: "I haven't heard such beautiful singing since I left my hometown. Ms. Sachiko sings really well, and Ms. Hanako's piano playing is getting better and better."
Soon, sounds inappropriate for children were heard in the room, and at this moment no one noticed that a stream of white powder entered Watanabe Taro's screaming mouth.
About two minutes later, two women wrapped in sheets ran out of the room and shouted:
"Big heart, big heart, big heart"
Soon all the men and women in the brothel ran to the second floor to watch the fun.
Taro Watanabe was lying on the floor naked, motionless, with his mouth wide open and eyes wide open, as if he was trying to catch his breath.
Soon, many Japanese soldiers came and carried Watanabe Taro away on a stretcher.
In the chaos on the second floor, no one noticed that a suitcase had been taken away from under the floor of the room.
Taro Watanabe's diagnosis came out. The Japanese doctor found that a large blood vessel in Watanabe's brain ruptured due to emotional excitement.
The cause of Watanabe Taro's death was found out, and it was not a glorious one. The Japanese burned Watanabe Taro into ashes, put them in a jar and transported them back to their homeland.
Li Yujin sorted out the suitcase left by Watanabe Taro. This guy was much richer than Han Laugeda. He had three hundred large yellow croakers, some jewelry, and twenty kilograms of opium.
Li Yujin I have an incompatible relationship with gambling and drugs, so I found a deserted place, burned the opium into ashes and threw it into the surging Liu River.
