Return to the 80s, from touching loaches to becoming the world's richest man

In the evening, as the whistle sounded, everyone who was still busy in the fields began to rush home.

When Jiang Lanqing walked to the door of his house, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Mainly the sound of the meat slices sizzling in the pot coming from the kitchen, and the aroma of the meat, really made her, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, swallow her saliva.

After all, meat is still a luxury nowadays. Except during festivals, how can ordinary people eat meat every day?

It was great to be able to have a meal a week, not to mention that Jiang Lanqing was the only one working at home, so eating meat once a month was a luxury.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lanqing couldn't help but wonder where Lu Hai got the meat.

Could it be that he went out to steal again?

Thinking of this, Jiang Lanqing immediately walked into the kitchen with an anxious look on his face.

After all, if Lu Hai really stole someone else's meat, then she would definitely have to find a way to return it to the owner, but now the family is completely out of money.

At this time, Lu Hai was skillfully throwing vegetables into the wok and stir-frying them. Seeing Jiang Lanqing coming in, he looked up and smiled, "Are you back? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

However, Jiang Lanqing's face was not very good at this time. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke very entangledly.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you've gotten better?"

When Lu Hai, who was cooking, heard this, he was immediately confused, "What's wrong?"

"Where did this meat come from?" Jiang Lan asked coldly.

After all, every time Lu Hai stole things before, she had to borrow money from others to compensate the owner every time she was caught, and she also had to apologize to them humbly.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Hai and she were a legal couple, she really didn't want to get involved in Lu Hai's affairs.

When Lu Hai heard this, he knew that Jiang Lanqing had misunderstood. Thinking about his previous behavior, he immediately understood.

"I bought this meat at the supply and marketing cooperative. Don't worry, the receipt is here. It's legal and compliant. You can eat it with confidence. I won't do anything deceptive or fraudulent again."

Jiang Lanqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and realized that he had misunderstood him, so he apologized to Lu Hai in a low voice.

Lu Hai smiled and didn't take it to heart.

But at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly came from the door of his house.

"Okay Jiang Lanqing, I lent you money out of kindness, but you didn't pay me back and bought meat for yourself?! Hurry up and pay me back!"

When Jiang Lanqing heard this, his face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Lu Hai asked.

"Yes...it's Li Yuelan."

When Lu Hai heard this, he immediately remembered that this person was also from the village.

She is also a fierce person, a typical shrew.

"What did she mean by borrowing money just now?" Lu Hai asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I'll go out and explain it to her. Wait for two days until the commune pays this month's salary and then I'll return it to her." Jiang Lanqing said.

Lu Hai originally wanted to ask how much money it was, as he had some now. But when he saw that Jiang Lanqing had already made up his mind, he stopped talking.

If possible, he would certainly save the money. After all, the money he earned from the stall was too little for him...

However, he now needs to complete the original accumulation of capital, and can only choose such a seemingly stupid method.

"Okay, I'll take the dishes inside first, and when you're done, come in and eat."

"Hmm..." Jiang Lanqing nodded.

Jiang Lanqing walked out the door and looked embarrassed when he saw Li Yuelan. "Sister Li, what do you want to talk to me about at this time?"

Li Yuelan sneered, "You're asking me what's the matter? It's not a festival, I thought it was some rich family that had meat, I came over and saw, well, your family can even have meat, why don't you pay me back for what you owe me?"

"What? You owe me money for all the good things I have to do, so I deserve to live a miserable life as a borrower?"

When Jiang Lanqing heard this, he knew in his heart that Li Yuelan might have smelled the aroma of meat after work and wanted to see who was so rich. She never expected that she would find out that it was his family. The key point was that he still owed Li Yuelan money, so he got angry for a moment.

Jiang Lanqing felt a little embarrassed when she heard that, and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Sister Li, I really don't have any money now. The meat today was earned by Lu Hai. Can you give me two more days? When the team pays the monthly salary, I will return the one yuan to you. Is that okay with you?"

"Two more days of grace?" Li Yuelan glared at him. "Have I always been too easy on me? I lent you two dollars for two months. We agreed to pay it back at the end of the month. What's going on now?!"

"Besides, everyone knows that your Lu Hai is lazy and greedy, so why would he go out to earn money to buy meat? Are you trying to coax a three-year-old kid here?"

When Jiang Lanqing heard this, his face became very embarrassed, but he couldn't refute the other party.

After all, even his parents-in-law might not believe that Lu Hai would make money, but this is the fact now.

Finally, Jiang Lanqing gritted his teeth, took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to Li Yuelan.

"Sister Li, this is my last fifty cents. I'll give it to you first, and I'll give you the rest in two days. Is that okay with you?"

The fifty cents was her last money, which she had originally intended to use for food expenses with Lu Hai for the next few days.

But it is only natural to pay back debts. Even if I have no money, I can only pay it back to Li Yuelan first.

Li Yuelan took the fifty cents and said unyieldingly, "No, if you don't return the money to me today, don't blame me for scolding you in front of the whole village!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lanqing's eyes turned red, "Sister Li, I really don't have it now."

Now that I finally see Lu Hai getting better, I thought life would slowly get better, but who would have thought that I would encounter something like this on the first day.

Seeing Jiang Lanqing crying, Li Yuelan still refused to give up, "I don't care whether you have money or not, pay me back now, immediately, or I won't leave. Why should you, a debtor, get to eat meat!"

Jiang Lanqing was close to collapse at this time. If it weren't for Lu Hai, she would not have asked Li Yuelan to borrow money.

However, there was really no other way now, so she grabbed Li Yuelan's hand and cried, "Sister Li, it's really just a few days, please give me some more time!"

But Li Yuelan ignored Jiang Lanqing's crying and said, "I'm telling you, this trick of yours won't work on me. If it doesn't work, just sell it! You have to pay me back the money today!"

"Your man is a drunkard and a whore, so where would the money come from if you don't sell yourself?!"

"You look pretty good, so you'd definitely be good at selling things. If you don't know, I'll introduce you to someone!"

"..."

Listening to Li Yuelan's various insults, Jiang Lanqing completely collapsed.

Especially this kind of words, for women of this era, can be regarded as the most vicious swear words.

If this happened in ancient times, it would be blatantly saying that someone is a prostitute.

So, Jiang Lanqing couldn't help but burst into tears and held his head.

"You stinky bitch, don't think you don't have to pay me back just because you cry. Now, pay me back immediately!"

However, at this moment, Jiang Lanqing was suddenly patted on the back, and a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Jiang Lanqing raised her head and stared at Lu Hai with tears in her eyes.

She had never felt Lu Hai's voice was so reassuring before.

Moreover, Lu Hai had never cared about this family in the past.

Especially when the other party was indulging in drinking, whoring and gambling, the burden of the entire family naturally fell on her alone.

Seeing Lu Hai coming out, Li Yuelan, who had been clamoring, suddenly shut up.

After all, he was a well-known second-rate guy who was ruthless when he attacked.

"How much money does my wife owe you? I'll pay it back!" Lu Hai asked coldly.

"You pay it back?" Li Yuelan said sarcastically with a look of disdain on her face, "She owed me one dollar, and she just paid me fifty cents, and now she still has fifty cents!"

She didn't believe that Lu Hai had any money. After all, it was difficult for such a second-rate guy to pay even a dime, let alone fifty cents.

Whenever Lu Hai had any problems in the past, Jiang Lanqing would go and borrow money from others to pay for the compensation.

So, when Li Yuelan heard Lu Hai say that he wanted to pay back the money, she naturally didn't believe it.

"Okay, there's still fifty cents, right?" Lu Hai took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it over.

"Including interest, the total is one dollar and fifty cents. Is that enough?" Lu Hai stared at Li Yuelan and asked.

Seeing that Lu Hai really had money, Li Yuelan was overjoyed and reached out to take it.

But Lu Hai pulled back suddenly, “But you have to apologize to my wife.”

When Li Yuelan heard this, she was a little unhappy. What did she do wrong? Just apologize?

"I did something wrong and I apologized? Why should I apologize? It's only natural to pay back a debt!"

"Let's put things one way or the other. My wife didn't say she wouldn't return your money, but what did you say about my wife?" Lu Hai looked at Li Yuelan with unkindness in his eyes.

Li Yuelan was also stubborn, relying on the fact that she was right. She also saw that Lu Hai was different from usual and actually reasoned with others today, so she didn't care what Lu Hai's expression was. She also relied on the fact that there were many people around her and was determined that Lu Hai would not dare to take action, so she went further and said,

"Call her a bitch! What's the problem?"

"Who doesn't know your family's situation? Ever since you separated from your father, you've been supported by Jiang Lanqing alone. And you're a drunkard and a gambler. If she doesn't sell herself, how could she possibly support you?"

When Lu Hai heard this, his face darkened.

Originally, it was his wife who owed money, and the reason for the debt might be related to him, so he didn't want to make a fuss about it and just let Li Yuelan apologize to his wife.

But seeing her attitude now, it is obvious that I have given her too much face.

It’s okay to scold myself, after all, the bad things I did in the past are really beyond reproach, but seeing Jiang Lanqing being wrongly accused, I can’t do that!

In particular, Lu Hai has now fully realized that if a man cannot even protect his woman and family, can he still be considered a man?

He didn't show any mercy to Li Yuelan and slapped her in the face.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound echoed in the sky.

This slap made Li Yuelan stunned.

Some neighbors who were watching the fun nearby were also shocked.

At this time, they remembered that Lu Hai was a complete second-rate person. How could he not see everything?

Do you really think that a gangster is no longer a gangster if he talks to you reasonably?

"You dare to hit me?!" Li Yuelan covered her face and shouted at Lu Hai angrily.

"Hit you?" Lu Hai stared at Li Yuelan with his eyes wide open. "What's wrong with hitting you? It's our fault that we owed you the money. I originally wanted to return the money to you and forget about it. But, after I paid you back, you actually scolded me? If I didn't hit you, do you really think I, Lu Hai, am easy to bully?!"

"Okay, okay, just wait." Li Yuelan covered her face with one hand and pointed at Lu Hai with the other, her eyes full of resentment.

"roll!"

Lu Hai threw a dollar over, then pulled Jiang Lanqing and closed his door.
