"Brother, don't be so heartless, okay?" Zheng Baliang raised his head and looked at Zheng Bajin and said.
"Hmph, when you hit me before, why didn't you persuade yourself not to be too ruthless? Why didn't you punch me less for the sake of your brother?" Zheng Bajin snorted coldly, looked directly at his elder brother and said, "Now, you Do you still have the nerve to express brotherly love to me?"
Zheng Bajin remembered the year when he was ten years old, during a rainy season, because of a potato, Zheng Baliang, regardless of brotherly feelings, beat him to the ground, almost breaking his leg, and forcefully held him in his mouth. The potatoes were dug out.
Another time, Zheng Bajin took out two bird eggs from a tree. Just as he was about to cook them, Zheng Baliang rushed over after smelling the fragrance and snatched them away without any explanation.
Zheng Bajin was too busy and swallowed it in one gulp, almost choking to death.
If Hu Ying hadn't arrived in time and dug it out with two fingers, it is estimated that Bajin would have returned to the west long ago, and there would be no talk of being reborn now, let alone what happened to Zheng Bajin now.
However, Zheng Bajin still remembers when Hu Ying dug out his throat, leaving him mute and unable to speak for several days.
I get angry just thinking about it. Didn’t I say that the older one has to take care of the younger one?
However, in his home, Zheng Baliang never let him go, and he robbed him of everything he had to eat.
Now, he actually has the nerve to talk about brotherhood?
Zheng Baliang was speechless, but he did not give up.
Qingqing grabbed Zheng Bajin and tried to persuade him again.
Zheng Bajin pulled Qingqing and said: "However, you are unkind. I am not an unjust person. I will give you a way to go. Stay at home and help dad with work. I can consider giving you a bowl of rice." , otherwise, you will be chased away by dogs even if you eat shit.”
"You, are you too much of a bully?" Zheng Ba was very angry, looking at his brother and said, "You have become a rich man in the village, and you don't need this little money, and you still want me to work, and you say Are you still a human being when you say such ugly things?"
"Humph, what's wrong with asking you to work? Isn't it embarrassing?" Zheng Bajin stepped forward, pointed at the tip of his nose and said, "Get out! Otherwise, I can't beat you to death?"
As he said that, he really looked like he was about to take action, but Qingqing grabbed his clothes.
Zheng Baliang got up in fright and ran away in confusion.
He knew that Zheng Bajin could do what he said, especially that time when he sent his grandma up the mountain and was beaten so badly by Zheng Bajin that he was a little scared thinking about it.
"What are you doing? He is your brother after all, how could he be like this?" Qingqing couldn't bear to see Zheng Baliang running away so fast, and blamed Zheng Bajin.
"You are too kind. When dealing with such a shameless person, you can't be brotherly, otherwise, he will take advantage of you." Zheng Bajin glanced at Qingqing, sighed and said, "Ignore him from now on."
Qingqing couldn't understand and was angry with Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin didn't explain to him anymore. He was naturally doing it for his eldest brother's own good and made him endure hardships in order to become a master. It is to allow him to support himself, not to really lie down.
No matter what the time, labor is glorious, and the inert thought of waiting for what you want is unacceptable.
In the next few days, Zheng Baliang disappeared from Zheng Bajin's eyes again and stopped coming to see him.
However, Zheng Bajin discovered that every day after Hu Yinglai finished eating, he always said that he would bring some food back to the borrowed house to eat when it was hot at night. He also said with a somewhat embarrassed look: "I don't know what's going on lately, but I always feel hungry very quickly. I'm afraid the starving ghost is looking for me!"
At first, Zheng Bajin advised her: "Don't believe in superstition!"
Later, Zheng Bajin understood that Hu Ying was secretly taking care of Ba Liang.
I don't want to break it, after all, for Hu Ying, the palms and backs of her hands are all flesh. In the past, she took better care of her younger self. Now, it is reasonable for her mother's love to tilt toward Zheng Baliang.
His energy was completely focused on commodity prices, and he began to let his old father-in-law only go out and not go in. He only pulled coal in and no longer loaded potatoes to sell.
Nian Jian'an didn't understand, saying that if things continued like this, sooner or later there would be a shortage of funds, and then there would be no more money to pull coal.
Moreover, less coal is being sold now and more is coming in. If the market goes bad one day, or the price drops, it will be difficult to sell. Can’t a large family eat coal every day?
Zheng Bajin smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I will take care of everything. From now on, I will not only buy potatoes, but also other grains. As long as someone sells them, I will buy them."
With that said, regardless of the suspicious Nian Jian'an, he wrote a sign and went out to purchase grain in large quantities at favorable prices.
Suddenly, someone actually picked out corn, rice, and beans and sold them to Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin is quite trustworthy, offering a price that is one cent higher than the market price, and will not refuse anyone who comes. He puts out the scale every morning, and does not play tricks on the scale. The purchase is fair, just, and open.
Within a few days, a large amount of grain was stored in the factory.
At this time, word came out in the village that Qian Bo also imitated him and put a scale at home. Like him, he put away the grain and bought everything Zheng Bajin wanted at a price five cents higher. .
People began to turn their food to Qian Bo, and Zheng Bajin's business suddenly became deserted.
Nian Jian'an looked at Zheng Bajin, who was not in a hurry at all, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I know, you want to trick Qian Bo. Before he can react, sell him the grain in your hand. Make a little money.”
Zheng Bajin shook his head: "He is not my type. He accepts his, and I accept mine, without interfering with each other!"
Nian Jian'an looked at him strangely and said softly: "No way! Qian Bo's family is richer than yours, how can you compare with him?"
"It's okay, take your time, the one who laughs at the end is the winner." Zheng Bajin said with a smile, "You can continue to pull coal, don't worry about the rest."
After hearing this, Nian Jian'an was still worried and wanted to persuade him again. However, seeing Zheng Bajin's calm face and his confident look, he had no choice but to swallow his words and drove the empty truck to the coal mountain to pull coal. .
As expected, people thought about Qian Bo's five cents and all rushed over. Zheng Bajin got nothing all morning and felt at ease. He made a cup of hot tea, moved a small stool and sat at the door. Tasting, listening to the sound of reading in the school.
When Qingqing came out of the canteen, she looked at Zheng Bajin who was stunned. She felt sad thinking that he could not receive the food. She couldn't help but walked to his side and said softly: "You have already collected so much, you should be content." Yeah, why be sad?"
"Haha." Zheng Bajin laughed and looked up at Qingqing. Her face was even more beautiful in the gloomy air, and she couldn't help but smile, "How am I sad? I'm happy. As soon as I see you, I feel like I can't put it down."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit on him.
Qingqing was startled by his sneak attack, and cursed: "Let go, it's sunny in the blue sky, how can you be seen by others?"
"Who said it's day time? You are already my wife, isn't it right?" Zheng Bajin smiled.
"Bad guy!" Qingqing blushed with embarrassment and pinched Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin said "ouch" and let go of his hand. Looking at Qingqing's shy look, like an innocent girl, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look, you pinched me to pieces!"
Qingqing didn't dare to get close. She stood aside, stared at him, and cursed: "You deserve it! Who told you that you are shameless and only know how to bully others?"
"Who told you to sleep with Xiaocao every night without making room for me? Are you going to starve me to death?" Zheng Bajin said with a smirk on his face.
"I hate it, I won't tell you anymore. I'm not serious." Qingqing gave him a blank look and ran into the canteen...
Zheng Bajin stood up, smiled, and followed in.
