Pig Killer

Chapter 119

"My second sister-in-law is not a profiteer. On the contrary, she is very generous." Huang Shuchang looked at her without blinking and said cleverly.

Shen Hui'e was stunned when she heard this, then burst into laughter, "I'm not generous."

"Why not be generous? The pork soup is free, and there are so many pork dishes." Huang Jichang said anxiously.

"I did that to sell pork." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "I rarely cook meat now." Then she added, "Besides, buyers are not as smart as sellers! The wool comes from the sheep. I have made a lot of money, and I will make more next year."

"What should I do? I really don't want to give up this suspended ceiling business." Huang Bochang looked at her with a sad face.

"Let the owner pay in three installments." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Aren't we just worried that the farmers won't get paid? After the mats and squares are brought to the store, let them pay part of the money first. Basically, we have collected almost all the money from the farmers. When you are halfway done, you can ask for the money again. When you are done and they have checked and are satisfied, you can settle the final payment."

"Hey! This is a solution." Huang Bochang looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"The advantage of paying in installments is that you can pay less at a time, so you don't have to worry about not having enough money." Shen Hui'e said to them with her clear and bright eyes.

"Mother, they haven't given us the last payment yet!" said Da Chong worriedly.

"That depends on your ability to collect debts." Shen Hui'e tilted her head slightly and looked at him and said, "There are skills to collecting debts."

"As long as we can get the first two sums of money, we will make money." Huang Bochang rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Don't panic when encountering problems. There are always more solutions than problems." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her warm eyes and said, "Everything is interdependent and mutually exclusive. One thing can overcome another. We can always find a solution."

"Mother!" Huang Bochang looked at his mother pleadingly and said, "Selling tofu is something that only people in our family can do, and no matter how big the business is, it's only in the county."

"Yeah!" Huang Jichang nodded hurriedly, "You can get to know a lot of people in the ceiling business."

"One county is not enough for you to jump around. Where else do you want to jump around to?" Huang's mother pointed at them one by one with her index finger.

"Of course this grown man wants to go out and try his luck." Huang Jichang said with wandering eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of getting a bloody head?" Huang's mother looked at him unhappily.

"I'm willing to get my head broken and bloodied." Huang Shuchang muttered softly.

"Sister-in-law, is there anything we should pay attention to when we go out?" Huang Bochang quickly changed the subject.

"Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her jade-like eyes and said, "Think twice before you act, don't be impulsive."

"Besides encountering profiteers, we have to be on guard against local forces." Shen Hui'e thought for a moment and said, "Just like the Xiong brothers, the local forces, the entangled idlers, the thieves..." Seeing them turn their heads away, she couldn't continue, "You know."

"I understand!" Huang's mother laughed when she heard this. "The Huang brothers are very famous in this area, especially Da Chong's father. No one dares to mess with him. Don't worry about that."

"Then I have no problem." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "You still have to be careful. Money can make people happy. We all know how much profit there is. If those idlers get entangled and cause trouble for us, it will be very troublesome. I won't say much about their despicable means."

"We understand! Just beat them into submission." Huang Bochang said arrogantly.

"Fight? Aren't you afraid of alerting the government?" Shen Hui'e said to them with a frown.

"There are many private fights in the countryside. As long as no one reports it and no one is killed, the government doesn't care!" Huang Bochang snorted.

"Is this the experience gained from fighting?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with a helpless smile.

"Hehe...hehe..." Huang Jichang smiled foolishly.

"What do you mean?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with amusement.

"I was young and ignorant at that time." Huang Shuchang smiled embarrassedly.

"If you can control these hooligans, then there will be business to be done." Shen Hui'e said to them with bright eyes.

"Mom, is it okay now?" Huang Bochang said to his mother with a pleading look on his face.

"Mom, if this tofu business can be done, you and Yuan Ji's mother can do it too!" Huang Jichang said while looking at his mother eagerly.

"Yes! Yes!" Huang Shuchang nodded repeatedly, "If we really get hurt outside, we still have you as a way out! We won't starve to death."

Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and penetrating black eyes shining brightly, smiling without saying a word.

Who says farmers are stupid? Human sperm.

"We will go out to work, and the family will depend on you and Yuanjit's mother." Huang Bochang said to his mother with burning eyes.

"You guys! Don't you know how dangerous it is out there?" Huang's mother looked at them helplessly.

"We also want to see the dangers, otherwise we will stay here for the rest of our lives." Huang Bochang looked at her with his deep black eyes and said.

"Okay!" Huang's mother agreed reluctantly, "If you can't work outside, just come back. We have land, and we won't starve if we make tofu again."

"Mother!" Huang Jichang jumped up happily like a child.

"Mom, when we make money, we will buy a house in the city." Huang Shuchang said with a smile.

"I won't go to the city! It's quite comfortable to live in the countryside. It's just a short walk away." Huang's mother looked at them gently and said, "Just be well, everyone."

"Then let's go back to work." Huang Bochang stood up and patted his thigh.

"I'll take you there." Shen Hui'e stood up and said.

Shen Hui'e sent them to the gate and watched them leave.

After walking a few steps, Huang Bochang looked back at his mother who hadn't moved, "Aren't you going back with us?"

"I'll talk to Da Chong's mother for a while." Huang's mother looked at them gently and said, "You guys go back to work first! The shops are all lined up!"

"Then we'll go." Huang Bochang and the others turned and left.

"What do you want to say?" Shen Hui'e asked her with warm eyes.

"I want to say that we should do this tofu business. Do you have any objection?" Huang's mother looked at her nervously and said.

"No, no. I can't handle it alone! I don't have three heads and six arms." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her sparkling eyes and said, "If you really have plans, take the stone mill at home and use it first." She smiled and said, "Take the soybeans at home too." She pursed her lips and said, "It's just this tofu, tofu pudding."

"Eat as much as you want, I'll save it for you." Huang's mother responded readily.

"Then just come and move once you've packed." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her dark eyes and said.

"Okay!" Huang's mother smiled with wrinkles all over her face, "Don't you want to save some soybeans?"

"No, no." Shen Hui'e shook her head slightly, "It's useless for me to keep the soybeans! I don't like soybean rice."

"You can make soybean sprouts!" Huang's mother looked at her and said with blinking eyes.

"There's no shortage of vegetables in the summer, so I won't grow bean sprouts." Shen Hui'e was stunned when she heard that, and then she said, "There will be a shortage of vegetables in the winter, and new soybeans will come in. Don't worry, use them first."

"Thank you then." Huang's mother looked at her gratefully and said.

"What are you thanking me for? Now that you open this tofu shop, I don't have to grind tofu myself." Shen Hui'e said with a smile when he heard this.

"Just let the big tiger go." Huang's mother responded readily.

"I'm a little curious. Uncle and brother-in-law both listen to you very much." Shen Hui'e looked at her with curious eyes and asked.

Huang's mother blinked and said, "Their father went to the war. I raised all four of them. If they don't listen to me, who else should they listen to?" She straightened her back and said, "Back then, I was very strong in our village. No one dared to bully me."

"I can see that." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile in her bright eyes.

"There's nothing you can do. If you're not tough, you'll be bullied to death." Huang's mother said with emotion, "Later, when the eldest brother and his friends grew up, they dared to fight with others and smashed themselves on the head with adobe bricks. That scared off those who bullied us."

"The arrogant ones are afraid of those who don't care about their lives." Shen Hui'e said with her black eyes flashing.

"That's it. As long as you risk your life, they will be afraid." Huang's mother snorted coldly, "Don't be afraid of anything you do, just do it."

"Then grandma is still trying to stop uncle and the others?" Da Chong asked her with his black eyes full of confusion.

"Things are different now. In the past, we really couldn't survive. If we didn't fight, we would be slaughtered!" Huang's mother looked at them firmly and said, "But now it's different. Whether we eat well or badly, at least we won't be hungry and we can get through it." She pursed her lips and looked at them and said, "It's good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a day. We are unfamiliar with the place, and if there is something wrong, we can't help at all."

"It's not too far. The surrounding counties are only a few days' journey away." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her clear eyes and said, "It's okay! A good man has ambitions to travel far and wide. It's good for him to go out and see the world."

"Da Chong's father is a person who can't stay still. He relies on his bravery and likes to run around everywhere." Huang's mother said with a loving look.

Huang's mother looked at the children's hopeful eyes and said, "I'm leaving now! You guys get busy!" and ran away.

"Why are you running so fast, grandma?" said Li Nu, looking at his grandmother's hurried back with his eyes wide open.

"Grandma mentioned my father." The big insect said with its lips moving, "I don't know when he will come back."

"No news is good news. I will definitely come back." Shen Hui'e looked at them sincerely and said insincerely.

How else to say it? Things are unpredictable, so we can only think on the bright side.

"Whether your father comes back or not, let's live a good life." Shen Hui'e patted their shoulders and said, "Let's go! Go back."
