Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Chapter 39: People should be grateful when they are alive

Guilan shook her head. "I had surgery a few days ago, and you almost died in front of the hospital. All your relatives and friends lent you money, but they were all afraid that we couldn't pay it back. In the end, it was Liu Xialian who lent you money. She went hunting in the mountains for a day and gave you 100 yuan, which was equivalent to giving you a whole wild boar, and dozens of kilograms of pig offal, which fed our family of six for several days. People should be grateful and repay kindness, so don't ask for more money. Pay back the 100 yuan, and there is still 140 yuan left. Pay it back when you are well-off."

Xu Shiba nodded: "You are right. People should be grateful for the kindness they have shown them. If they only care about money, then they will be blinded by it. Okay, I will go over."

"Bring the pine mushrooms from home and stew them with wild boar meat. Remember to come back early. It's inconvenient for women."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Xu Shiba carried a bag of dried pine mushrooms and quickly came to Li Damei's house. He pushed open the door and saw Liu Xia Lian drawing a picture. Li Damei was calculating with an abacus and writing and drawing with a pen in his hand.

"Sister Guilan collected pine mushrooms some time ago and stewed them with wild boar meat. They are very delicious. You can try them."

"Okay, thank you Brother Xu, I'll take it and stew wild boar meat in the evening."

Liu Xialian opened the canvas bag and piled up the big unity on the table. Xu Shiba was stunned. As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts. No one can resist money. If there is, it means that there is not enough money.

"Brother Xu, this is how we distribute the wild boars. I took the four small ones to the forest farm and sold them for over 150 yuan. Damei and I used them to eat, drink and buy clothes. Do you agree?"

"Agree, of course I agree."

"Next is the ginseng. Everyone contributed to this ginseng, so I will definitely get the lion's share. You are responsible for vigilance and protection. Here is two thousand yuan, take it."

Xu Shiba was stunned. He had thought that Liu Xia Lian would definitely allocate some money to him, one hundred or two hundred, or at most three hundred or two hundred.

Who doesn’t like money these days? Sometimes mothers even sell their daughters for the bride price. He took out two thousand yuan to throw at Xu Shiba, which was quite a big deal.

Xu Shiba's hands were shaking when he touched the money. At this moment he just felt dry mouth and was excited for a long time. Two thousand yuan! At the current rate of making money, it would take at least ten years to save it.

"Well, Xia Lian, I can't take this money. People should be grateful. You saved Sister Guilan's life, and I helped her for one day. You gave me a hundred. It's enough. I can't take it."

"I'm glad you said that, Brother Xu. But there's a saying that goes, 'If you don't take a big favor, you'll end up hating me.' It's just a piece of cake for me to help Sister Guilan. I'm lending you money, not giving you money. When I asked you to help me, I said two dollars a day if there's no profit, and I'll give you a bonus if there's profit. These two thousand is your reward. It's not appropriate for you to refuse."

Xu Shiba sat there struggling with his thoughts. His wife was still recuperating and his four children needed money. His parents were old, and he was one of the people who had been sent to work in Lijiatun. He had no brothers, and when he encountered problems, he had no one to help him.

Liu Xialian then took out two thousand five and handed it to Li Damei: "This is your share. We are sisters and there is nothing much to say. If there is meat for me, there will be soup for you. Keep it."

Li Damei was not much better off. She was so excited that tears came to her eyes after receiving the 2,500 yuan.

"Sister Xia Lian, I, I, I only worked hard to dig for a few hours. I feel guilty for taking so much."

"You're crying, crying. You're a grown-up girl. This is not right. I'm the boss. It's my duty to pay my employees. Besides, I pay you 60 yuan a month. It's very rare to encounter a situation like this. It's not a good thing. A hundred-year-old ginseng is not a carrot."

"I know, sister. I've received the money. Can you take me to deposit it tomorrow? I feel uncomfortable carrying it with me. I always feel like someone will come to our house and rob it."

"Haha, if you don't tell me, no one would know that your family is rich. Okay, come with me to deliver the fish tomorrow and I'll deposit it in the credit union."

Xu Shiba was still struggling with his thoughts. Liu Xialian picked up two bundles of big unity and stuffed them into his arms: "Take it. Going to the mountains is a life-threatening job. I can't let you run in vain. You still have a wife and children to feed."

"Okay then, I'll keep it."

"You are good at martial arts and can drive a cart, but it's useless for you to farm at home. Are you willing to work long-term? Like Damei, you can get 60 yuan a month, plus bonuses. I can't promise you will be rich, but you can definitely live better than the average person, with delicious food and drinks."

Xu Shiba did not agree immediately. He had no opinion of his own and liked to listen to his wife on everything: "What are you doing? Hunting, collecting ginseng?"

"No, we now have two stable businesses. The first is fishing. There are several restaurants in the forest farm and town that use our fish, and we earn about a hundred yuan a day. The second business is collecting mountain products, including various medicinal herbs, dried mushrooms, etc. As for hunting and mountaineering, it is a sideline, and you only need to go once in a while. Hunting is a life-threatening job. You come here to fish, deliver goods, drive the cart, and be responsible for the safety of the goods. You can use the hunting rifle."

He couldn't even dream of a job that paid 60 yuan a month, this was the best thing that could not be better.

"Well, Sister Xia Lian, I'll go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law, and I'll be back to give you the definite answer soon."

"Okay, go back and discuss it. We're going to the river to catch fish. Find us there later."

Liu Xia Lian and Li Damei took their tools and went fishing. Today they wanted to catch snapper, catfish and the like. They went directly to the water bubble, which was a very dangerous place. If you were not careful, you would die if you fell in.

But precisely because it is dangerous here, there are schools of fish. With Liu Xia Lian's eyes that can see through the danger, she chooses places without silt, hangs a thick rope around her waist, and goes fishing in the middle of the water bubbles.

Fried corn was used as bait, live shrimps and small fish were used as bait, and even dead chickens could be used as bait. Catfish are the most greedy and will eat anything. The hook was put into the water and deliberately shaken up and down. After a while, it took a bite, fiercely and fiercely.

To outsiders, fishing here seems very dangerous, but in fact it is not safe at all. It is like a man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long. Fortunately, the two of them were safe and sound. After a while, the catfish exploded, and they all weighed two or three pounds.

Although it is small in size, it has a long growth period, and its meat is delicious and has a good taste. Catfish stewed in an iron pot is crunchy and fragrant.

Li Damei cast a fishing rod and asked with a smile: "Sister Xia Lian, I often hear people say that fishermen lose money, but why do we become rich by fishing?"

Liu Xia Lian thought about it, how could she say this? She couldn't say that her eyes had special functions, that she could see the fish under the water, that she could avoid danger. She couldn't say this even if she was beaten to death.
