"See? I have plenty of money. This car shop is mine. There are mountains of radishes, cabbages, green onions and soybean paste inside, so no one will steal from your vegetable garden. Let me tell you this, if you want to sell vegetables here, grow them well and don't make them dirty. Who wouldn't want to buy from the village entrance at the same price? There must be a reason why they don't buy from you."

"Okay, okay, girl, you are a good person, I will definitely grow vegetables well, but when are you going to come to me to scold me?"

Liu Xia Lian shook her head: "How can there be such a job as cursing on the street every day? But don't worry, if there is such a job, I will definitely ask you to do it. You have to dare to curse, you can't be afraid, you can't be cowardly, you can't be afraid of being beaten, and you can't be afraid of being hit."

"No problem, I have nothing to fear. My name is Lu Dalian, I am 38 years old this year, I just got out of the detention center, my family has 20 acres of corn fields, my husband's legs and feet are not good, I don't know if I didn't use the right fertilizer, or the problem is with the seeds, the corns that grew are the same as your little thing, not as much as the seeds, and they still asked me to pay public grain, my family is almost starving to death, pay the public grain, I was detained for half a month, but the town exempted my family from the public grain, it's a good deal."

My eldest sister is 38 this year, and she looks anxious. She works in the countryside under the wind all day long, and people would believe she is 50. It is difficult to be a woman, and it is even harder to be a woman in the countryside.

Liu Xia Lian sighed, "It's too hard for a woman to support a family when a man can't work. I'll advance you the money for cursing twice, but I won't pay you when you start working again."

Liu Xia Lian took two 2-yuan coins and handed them over: "We have the same name, mine is Xia Lian and yours is Dalian, both Lian. You keep these four coins, and I'll send a car to pick you up when you need me."

Lu Dalian took the money, tears welled up in her eyes, she knelt down and kowtowed hard.

"I'm not a good person, but I know what's good and what's bad. You may not need to curse at me at all. You just want to give me money. Thank you."

"Hurry up, hurry up, this is not the way to do it. I really need to curse, but the time has not come yet."

In the yard, Li Hu, Xu Xiong and others pointed outside and said, "Look, look, that bitch knelt down before our boss. That's amazing. She made someone kneel down without beating or scolding her. That's amazing."

Liu Xialian pulled the man up and said, "Life is hard, but we have to get through it. There is no such thing as a mountain of fire that we cannot cross. Work hard and think of ways to make more money. Life will get better."

Lu Dalian wiped her tears, stood up and left.

Liu Xia Lian raised her hand to check the time. It was almost two o'clock. "No, we have to go back quickly. We have an appointment to deliver fish tomorrow."

It was more than 60 miles when we got home. It was dark and almost 6 o'clock. After all, Dahei was a mule, and speed was not its strong point. We went directly to Li Damei's house. Unexpectedly, Xu Shiba had cooked the meal, including vermicelli, pickled cabbage, stewed carp, and cornmeal cakes. Daya and Erya were eating canned food beside them.

"I came back late. I didn't expect Brother Xu to be able to cook."

"I can cook. There are four children in my family. My wife takes care of the children, so I have to cook. My mother doesn't like to help much, after all, we live apart. Let me try it and see if it tastes good."

Liu Xialian took a bite and found it tasted OK. The five of them finished their meal. Daya yawned and said, "The house is repaired. We will move back today and try out the new kang."

"Okay, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I'll sleep until noon and then get up to go fish."

Daya and Erya went home carrying the crossbows and yawning.

Liu Xia Lian took out the canvas bag containing the money and put it on the table: "Let's divide the money. This time we hunted the man-eating tiger and got a total of 40,000 yuan. I have spent all the small change. Brother Xu has 2,000 yuan, and Li Damei has 1,000 yuan. Take them all. Daya and Erya have made great efforts, but they don't want any money. I will build a new house for them in the spring of next year and do my best to make their lives better."

Liu Xialian handed the money to Xu Shiba and Li Damei. Xu Shiba sighed, "I was scared yesterday. I backed off the moment the tiger came out. Daya and Erya both rushed forward, but I didn't dare."

"You hit the tiger's hind legs, which created favorable conditions for Daya and Erya's crossbow attack. Your four children are the backbone of the family. It is understandable that they were scared at the critical moment. It won't delay the distribution of money. I can't ask for too much."

Xu Shiba happily accepted the money. This time it was a complete accident. He didn't expect that there would be a tiger eating people in the forest farm. Two thousand yuan, this is a lot of money. He hadn't spent the bonus he got last time, and this time he had money again. It really took money faster than the wind.

Li Damei was a little surprised when she received the 1,000 yuan: "No, sister, you must have made a mistake. I didn't even go there, I can't take this money."

"Although I didn't go, you were watching over the luggage and the trucks at the forest farm. And your little black man has a sensitive nose and helped a lot. Take it. Let me talk more about dividing the money. I will use the remaining money to continue my development and plan to open a clothing store to create ways for more people to make money."

Li Damei was extremely happy. The total income from hunting, fishing and other miscellaneous activities during this period added up to over four thousand yuan, which was something she had never dared to think of before.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Shiba got up, said goodbye and went home.

Daughter-in-law Guilan had just finished dinner and was mending clothes for her child when Xu Shiba came in and closed the door. Guilan stared with wide eyes and asked, "Old Xu, what's going on? You're so secretive, like an underground worker."

Xu Shiba took out two hundred big unity notes from his pocket: "Surprise or not, accident or not."

Guilan snatched it away and counted it again and again. There were exactly two hundred Great Unity notes, which meant two thousand yuan.

"What are you doing now? Digging up century-old ginseng?"

"No, we went to the forest farm yesterday. There was a tiger eating people, and the forest farm ordered to capture it. Liu Xialian took the four of us and we did it. We killed the big tiger weighing six or seven kilograms and sold it to the pharmaceutical factory. This is my bonus."

Guilan was horrified: "What? You dare to hit a tiger? It's a mountain god."

"If you eat people, you are no longer a mountain god. Besides, the city arranged to fight you, otherwise we can't go and fight you."

After worrying for a while, the two hugged each other and jumped up and down: "Life has improved, and our family has completely escaped poverty."

After being happy, the two calmed down again. Xu Shiba scratched his head: "We have money, but we can't spend it carelessly. If we spend it carelessly, the money will become less and less. If we spend it well, the money will become more and more. Wife, do you have any good ideas?"

Guilan put down her clothes, thought about it carefully, and slapped her thigh: "I got it, buy a donkey, buy a donkey, I have been thinking about it for a long time. Buy a female donkey, it can pull a cart, plow the land, and give birth to mules. A mule can be sold for several thousand after three years of raising it, which is a big income."
