Pig Killer

Chapter 153

"It's not that we are judging others by our own standards, but there are all kinds of people in this world." Shen Hui'e looked at them gloomily and said, "We have to be on guard. People like to get something for nothing. Gold falling from the sky is the best."

"Haha..." Huang Shuchang shook his head and chuckled, "That was a daydream." He shook his head and said, "It's not even in my dreams."

"How do you set up this trap?" Huang Jichang became interested when he heard this.

"For example, if you like cockfighting, then feed the chickens some herbs that can cause diarrhea." Shen Hui'e said to them with raised eyebrows.

"You can do this!" Huang Jichang said to her with his eyes wide open.

"You're just trying to cheat me out of money! You still expect them to be kind and righteous!" Shen Hui'e snorted, and then continued, "Or a few people may team up to cheat you out of your money, with the simplest guessing of odd or even numbers. They let you win the money first, and then you'll be tempted to make money. How fun it is to make money! There's no need to weave straw mats, play with squares, or climb up and down." She stared at them and said, "Win first, then lose, and then you'll lose all your pants."

"Odd or even?" Huang Jichang asked her with blinking eyes.

"Grab a handful of soybeans and guess whether the number of soybeans in your hand is odd or even." Shen Hui'e said to them with her dim eyes.

"You can play it like this." Huang Jichang looked at her in disbelief.

"Betting! You can bet on anything. Just squat on the street, set up a stall, and start your business. Then find a few people to help you, and guess whether the person walking by is a man or a woman."

"This makes it even easier to cheat." Huang Shuchang said with his eyes wide open.

"Yes! These people who love to join in the fun rushed over when they saw so many people." Shen Hui'e pointed at the wooden table with her index finger and said, "I really lied to you without any discussion."

"Thank you for your advice. I won't gamble." Huang Jichang clasped his hands together and looked at her gratefully.

"We don't have time either. The jobs are queued up one after another." Huang Shuchang said with emotion when he heard this.

"It's good to be busy! It's good to be busy making money." Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright black eyes.

"Be careful when you go out." Shen Hui'e's calm and gentle black eyes were as unfathomable as the deep sea as she looked at them slowly and said, "You must be on guard against others. If someone shows kindness to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

"You really won't know unless you go out." Huang Bochang said with emotion, "People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded slightly and said, "We meet each other everywhere in the village. We are all acquaintances. How dare they lie to us..."

Huang Shuchang clenched his fists and said, "I'm tired of living."

"Do you dare to shout and kill like that outside?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with raised eyebrows.

"Hehe...hehe..." Huang Shuchang's eyes wandered around.

"I'm not familiar with the place, so I don't dare to act rashly." Huang Bochang said honestly.

"Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth." Huang Jichang said with a grin.

"We don't have the confidence to act willfully when we are out." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with sharp eyes in her dark pupils.

"Alas..." Huang Bochang sighed, then cheered up and said, "In order to avoid being deceived, it is better to let the younger generation learn to read with my younger brothers and sisters."

"Okay! No problem." Shen Hui'e responded readily, "As your business grows bigger and bigger, you have to learn how to keep accounts."

"We can do simple arithmetic, but we can't write," Huang Bochang said embarrassedly.

"Then I will teach them to keep accounts and calculate accounts. At least they should keep a running account and record how much money comes in and how much money goes out every day." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her warm eyes and said, "Call all the children, and also Zhao Ye and the other nieces."

"Zhao Ye and the others want to learn it too!" Huang Bochang said with a hint of surprise in his black eyes when he heard it.

"I'm just learning. There's no harm in learning more." Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.

"No matter who learns, everyone should learn, everyone should learn. Yuanji follows us, so he can't learn even if he wants to." Huang Jichang said without thinking, "If my girl wasn't too young, I would let her learn too. Once she learns, I will grab her and use her. Who cares about her?"

"Women have to get married eventually." Huang Bochang reminded him who was outspoken.

"Get married?" Huang Jichang blinked and said, "Oh! I forgot about this. It's better for the girl to stay at home and help. My mother's tofu shop can't do without people."

"You can learn it even when you get married!" Shen Hui'e said quickly after hearing this, and tried her best to argue, "You can use it as a dowry to find a good family, and you can also help your parents' family."

"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Her dowry is taken to her husband's family." Huang Jichang smacked his lips and said.

"It won't hurt to learn." Shen Hui'e said dryly, pursing her lips and thinking for a while, "One tree can't make a forest, and one hero needs three helpers! There is no such thing as a close relationship as brothers and sisters."

"That's true!" Huang Bochang nodded thoughtfully, "After getting married, I can also help my parents' family."

"Yeah! It's better for girls to gain more experience." Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "After all, she is your daughter, you hope for her well, right? If she doesn't live well in her husband's family, we still have to support them! We also have to teach them how to stand on their own feet! Raising a son means worrying about him for ninety-nine years. Even in the underworld, I still worry about whether they are living well."

"My sister-in-law has a lot of principles here. Okay, let's all the younger generations in our family learn from them." Huang Bochang shook his head and chuckled when he heard this.

"If your business grows bigger, you still have to sign a contract." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "If there is a dispute, you can't go to the government without evidence."

"Contract?" Huang Bochang's black eyes flashed when he heard that.

"Just like a land deed, sign a contract with the buyer of the suspended ceiling." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and bright eyes and said, "In order to avoid breaking the contract, the other party will not recognize it. This big business should have it. It's not reliable to rely solely on honesty."

"I'll go back and ask the shops along the street." Huang Bochang said thoughtfully after hearing this.

"You can't read, so you have to prevent others from tampering with the contract and cheating us so that we can't even go to the government to seek justice," Shen Hui'e reminded them.

"I'll have to ask my eldest brother-in-law for advice on this." Huang Bochang was startled when he heard this, and looked at his sister-in-law and asked, "Is my eldest brother-in-law not back yet?"

"How long have you been in Hezhong Prefecture?" Huang Jichang asked.

"It's been nearly half a month, so it should be soon." Shen Hui'e said after thinking for a while.

"Let's ask my brother-in-law for advice when we get back." Huang Bochang said immediately after hearing this, "I didn't expect the business to be so big. I just wanted to make some money. Who would have thought..."

"Has this business become big? There is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Shen Hui'e hesitated and said to them.

"Second sister-in-law, just say what you want to say. There is nothing you can't say." Huang Jichang said carelessly.

"There's a saying that brothers should settle accounts clearly." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep black eyes.

Huang Bochang was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "We brothers will definitely not treat each other unfairly. Even if I suffer a loss, I will never let my brother suffer a loss."

"We should discuss this early, otherwise we will no longer be brothers and become enemies." Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.

"I know! Thanks for the reminder." Huang Bochang clasped his hands together and stood up, supporting himself on the table. "We're leaving. We're busy at home!"

"I'll see you off." Shen Hui'e stood up and saw the three Huang brothers off.

After watching them leave, Da Chong frowned and looked at his mother and said, "Mother, why do you say that brothers should settle accounts clearly?"

"Because brothers will turn against each other for the sake of interests." Shen Hui'e sat on the bench and looked at them and said, "People! They are very complicated." She looked at them calmly and said, "No one will cultivate barren fields, but when they are cultivated, people will fight for them. If you rent a boat together, the boat will leak. If two families feed pigs together, the pigs will become thin. Any relationship is a relationship of interest. Where there is interest, there is the human heart. The scariest thing in the world is not ghosts..."

"What is that?" asked the raccoon, looking at her with innocent eyes.

"It's the ugliness of human hearts!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and bottomless eyes and said, "People die for money, and birds die for food."

"Does it have to be this way?" The big bug frowned and looked at her and asked, "Is it unavoidable?"

"No! That's human nature." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep black eyes and said, "We can't avoid this problem, we can't escape it, we have to face it. It's better to make it clear as soon as possible, otherwise the longer you delay, the more you will hurt your bones. The brotherhood will be worn away."

"What will uncle and the others do?" Da Chong asked curiously.

"What if it was you?" Shen Hui'e asked, looking at him with interest.

"Me?" Hearing this, the tiger pointed at himself and said with a smile, "I will be like my mother, doing more and bigger, so that I can share more profits."

"Hmm!" Shen Hui'e smiled widely and nodded at him, "Go get our chopsticks."

"I'll go." The cat slave ran into the house and brought the chopstick cage.

Shen Hui'e took a chopstick out of the chopstick cage and broke it with one push. "This one is easy." She took all the chopsticks in her hand and said, "No matter how hard I push, it won't break." She smiled and said, "Fathers and sons fight together in battle, and brothers fight together to kill tigers. Brothers work together and their strength is as sharp as iron."

"I understand." The big bug looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "We can't succeed alone."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, putting the chopsticks into the chopstick cage, "Do you know about wolves?"

"I know!" said the big tiger, playing with the chopsticks.

"Who knew that wolves live in groups?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with bright eyes.

"Everyone says it's a wolf pack." Li Nu blinked his black grape-like eyes and looked at her and said.

"That's right. The wolf king of the wolf pack must lead the pack to hunt for meat, and then everyone will recognize you as the king. If you can't, you will be eliminated." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and bright black eyes and said, "Brothers must choose a leader. Otherwise, there will be disagreements and they will waste their time in quarrels, and in the end nothing will be accomplished." She tapped the wooden table with her index finger and said, "Decisions are not easy, and you have to be responsible. If you make money, everyone gets a share. If you don't make money, you have to take responsibility. Especially in desperate situations, the leader has to lead everyone out of the predicament."
