Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

Anxiety won't solve the problem.Even though he tossed and turned all night, the shopkeeper with red eyes still couldn't think of a countermeasure, and could only watch helplessly as the business of his wine shop declined day by day.He is not reconciled, so he deceives himself and others to comfort himself with "there is no unparalleled road", and stubbornly pins his hope on the future, thinking that he will definitely be able to figure out a way to bring about a turnaround for the shop.In order to last longer, he filled in a lot of savings, but unfortunately he was unable to recover in the end.The shopkeeper's lady loves money, but also hates the shopkeeper's "ignorance of current affairs". She quarreled with her husband all day long and kept calling him a fool who "doesn't know the situation, but only knows one muscle."Inspired by his mother-in-law, Ajie forcibly withdrew the last revolving fund from the shop while the shopkeeper was out to make purchases. He used the pretext of "protecting the family wealth from being ruined by his father" as an excuse to join the casino, trying to make money with a million dollars. .

In the end, of course, the loser couldn't even keep his pants.The shopkeeper was so angry that he couldn't even speak, but even if he beat his own son into a cripple, he was still unable to recover the gambling money of one iron coin. Instead, he asked the neighbors to watch "A loving mother loses her son, and her father dies of anger" for free. good show.

To make matters worse, today's liquor store can no longer even pay the wages of its employees.

The wine maid waiters are all poor people, except for me, everyone has a big family to support.He Dacheng has an old lady who is lingering on the sick bed, and just taking medicine every month is a lot of expenses.Ah Xiang has to rely on monthly silver to support the family. In addition to saving her own dowry, there are three younger siblings waiting to be fed. Even if she wants to, it is objectively impossible to do white labor for the shopkeeper.Could they not have done their best to the shopkeeper when Fulai was poaching people with high salaries, asking them to make further sacrifices, not to mention the shopkeeper, even a sharp-tongued person like the shopkeeper's wife couldn't open her mouth.

Axiang smiled wryly: "When my sister got married, the family couldn't afford the dowry and was looked down upon by her in-laws. The shopkeeper took out [-] baht to put on makeup for my sister, so that he could make the marriage more decent. Now that he is in trouble, we But I want to quit my job, I feel really sorry. However, there are several mouths waiting to be chewed at home, and I can’t starve to death a few younger siblings in order to repay my kindness.” She had been with the shopkeeper for two months, and she couldn’t bear it any longer, so she asked to resign , Reluctantly said, "I will leave after finishing this month, the shopkeeper is difficult, the unpaid wages are all, at least it is not easy for him to get to know each other..."

He Dacheng is also in the same situation.Because of the type of work, the monthly salary he received in the liquor store was lower than that of Ah Xiang, otherwise he wouldn't have had to strive for the job of selling liquor.But he is strong and able to bear hardships and stand hard work. He often helps his neighbors build houses and move tiles, and does odd jobs to subsidize him. He does not use wine shops as his only source of income.However, his mother's illness is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money it has, it can't be filled. Recently, the situation has been frequent. He Dacheng is always tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. A pile of debt.

He can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, even though his family is so poor that he still insists on not leaving until the end of the month: "Over the years, because of my mother's illness, the shopkeeper has helped me a lot, and I can't share his sufferings with him. I'm sorry for him. In the future, if there is anything that can use me, just ask, and I will not refuse."

The shopkeeper was powerless to keep him, so he snapped his fingers, and realized that by the end of this month, only me would be the only one left in his former love. Your future. The wages owed these days will be repaid after I sell the tables and chairs in the shop.” Even with his mental toughness, he retreated in the face of the appalling passenger flow.

As soon as this remark came out, the shopkeeper's wife immediately complained: "I told you that we can't beat the Lin family, so I asked you to close the shop earlier. You don't believe in evil, but now you are doing well. Only when you have lost all your family fortunes did you think of accepting your fate. The coffins are all filled in, so how will we live in the future!" Since the business has been declining, for some reason, the shopkeeper who used to seldom set foot in the wine shop has become a regular customer, sitting behind the counter all day long and posing. The face is bluffing, and the drinkers who come to the door are even more frightened.

The old news that Fulai offered a high price to buy a liquor store earlier, and was rejected by the shopkeeper, was dug up by the shopkeeper's wife every day to ridicule her.

After all, they are married couples for many years, no matter how angry the shopkeeper is, he is reluctant to slap his wife on the face, so he can only hide in the wine cellar and pretend to make wine, out of sight and out of mind.And although the shopkeeper's wife ignored her when she was angry and spoke fiercely, she often regretted it secretly after scolding. She only felt that her old man was also a poor person.However, it is absolutely impossible for her to pull down her face and say something soft to the shopkeeper.

I have no roots in the local area, and I have nowhere to go except the wine shop. Since the shopkeeper is in charge of my board and lodging, even if I don’t get paid, I will have no worries about food and clothing for the time being, so I have no plans to leave my job.Watching this old couple all day long play you say I can bear it, and sometimes Ajie guest-stars as the uneducated rich second generation.

Just calm down and think about it, it is inevitable to feel sad.

Although Ajie is not good, he has pity for the parents of the world. Even if he is a jerk, the shopkeeper can't give up his only son.The daughter-in-law he had previously hired for Ajie originally planned to marry in and enjoy the blessings, but now that something happened to the wine shop, he put the blame on it, expressing regret in his words.Some upstream merchants who used to have a good relationship no longer accept credit from the shopkeeper, and they are no longer willing to provide raw materials for wine making unless they pay for the goods and deliver the goods.The wall is falling and everyone is pushing, and the warmth and coldness of human relationships are sometimes so realistic.

Due to the excessive pressure of life, the shopkeeper turned gray with worry, and the face of the shopkeeper's wife also became more and more depressed, losing the freshness of the past.They are all honest businessmen who have spent their whole lives in wine shops, and they really don't know what to do for a living except in this line of business.A few months earlier, the shopkeeper also wanted to go to another place to open another wine shop, but the rent, water and firewood cost money. After Ajie stole the funds and gambled, he could no longer afford any investment funds.

Could it be that after being a boss all his life, when he gets old, he will go to work as a waiter in someone else's wine shop?Even if he is shameless, he is over half a century old and his physical strength is far inferior to the young guy, so it is up to the store to decide how much salary he is willing to offer.

The shopkeeper's lady thought that she might be reduced to being an old mother who washes clothes and cooks for others in the future, and felt that her future was bleak.
