Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 115 Some people are kind and honest, while others are ugly.
  "Xiulan, come to town with me, and let's take our daughter with us."

The next day, Lin Heng got up at dawn at five o'clock, looked at his wife and said.

"There is a lot of work at home, you can go alone." Xiulan didn't want to go. She had to feed chickens, ducks, pigs and badgers, so she couldn't get away.

"If you don't go, I won't be able to get so many things." Lin Heng spread his hands and said.

Xiulan couldn't argue with Lin Heng, so she could only agree: "Okay, I'll make pickled cabbage soup right away. After eating, let's go to town together."

"Okay!" Lin Heng nodded, woke up Xiaoxia, and took her to wash her face. He even brushed his teeth with tooth powder.

While Xiulan was cooking, Lin Heng packed up all the furs, mushrooms and herbs and prepared to sell them to the Liu family in town.

If it's cheaper, just be cheaper. As long as it's not too harsh, it's okay. I don't bother to go to the city for this thing.

After finishing the meal, before leaving, Xiulan saw that Lin Heng was still holding two purple bamboo fishing rods, and immediately asked: "You still have the fishing rods, are you going to go fishing in Huangtan River?"

Lin Heng grinned, nodded and said, "Yes, let's each have one, and you can fish with me."

"I don't have time, and I don't know how to." Xiulan shook her head.

"Oh, we'll be back in the afternoon. I've just fed the chickens and ducks. I've also lost some of the pigweed you harvested yesterday, including the pigs, badgers, forest musk deer, and wild boar cubs. There's not much work at home." Lin Heng spread his hands. explain.

Xiulan still had some hesitation on her face. She felt that fishing was not very good.

"Please, my wife." Lin Heng said again.

"Okay, let's give it a try. If you don't catch it, you won't catch it next time." Xiulan nodded and said.

"Okay, let's set off." Lin Heng was full of confidence. If he couldn't catch any fish in the Huangtan River, he would just close his pole.

Xiulan carried her daughter on her back, and Lin Heng took his things, told his parents, and set off.

After walking two or three kilometers, we arrived at Baima Village where Carpenter Liang was.

On the road, he saw an old man driving a donkey-drawn cart down. Lin Heng quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "Uncle, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Huangtan Town. If you want to hitch a ride, come up here." The old man stopped the donkey cart and looked at Lin Heng and said with a smile.

Most people in rural areas uphold the attitude of helping if they can. Especially in this era, everyone is full of yearning for a better life, and they are harmonious and friendly to each other. I won’t ask you to charge money for taking me there.

"Thank you." Lin Heng said with a smile, and then helped his wife sit up.

"Thank you!" Xiaoxia also imitated the sentence. She was wearing a red hat and her two little dimples were very cute when she smiled.

"Haha, your little daughter is so cute. How old is she?" The old man laughed and was so cute by Xiaoxia.

"She is one and a half years old. She was born in the first month of last year." Lin Heng said with a smile that Xiaoxia's birthday happens to be the Lantern Festival every year, and birthdays in rural areas are calculated according to the lunar calendar.

"That's amazing. What you say at such a young age is so true. My grandson is two years old and he still can't speak." The uncle said with a smile while driving the donkey cart.

Lin Heng said with a smile: "This is called a noble person's late speech. Our ancient great sage Wang Yangming couldn't speak at the age of five, and the foreign Einstein couldn't speak at the age of four. Didn't they all become big officials later? The name has been passed down through the ages. Your little grandson looks like a man of great wealth."

"Hahaha, let me lend you some good words." Lin Heng's words made the uncle very happy, and he soon asked about Lin Heng's elders.

Lin Heng talked about his elders, and the uncle immediately said with emotion: "It turns out he is Lin Changchun's grandson. I even built canals with him back then. He was a good man, but it was a pity that his life was too short."

Lin Heng also learned during the conversation that the old man's surname was Sun. He was going to Huangtan Town to see an old friend of his who was hospitalized.

The donkey cart moved forward slowly and leisurely, and the copper bell on the donkey's neck made a crisp sound. From time to time on the road, I could see puffs of smoke, and the sound of roosters and dogs barking gradually became stronger.

As the morning dew gradually dried, they had arrived at Huangtan Town.

"Thank you, Mr. Sun. I kept talking and forgot to give you a cigarette. I need to refill one." Lin Heng took out the big Qianmen cigarette that he didn't smoke but carried with him and handed it to the old man.

"Oh, no, no, you're too polite." Old Man Sun waved his hand repeatedly, but Lin Heng still forced it into his hand.

In fact, Lin Heng didn't forget, but he didn't want the old man to smoke in the car. Second-hand smoke would harm his wife and children sitting in the back.

"Come and play at my house when you have time." After a few polite words, Lin Heng turned around and left with his wife and children.

At this time, people in the town were also getting up. Lin Heng came directly to the door of the buying station opened by Liu Qicheng. He was squatting in front of the door eating breakfast.

"You come to sell things so early? Have you eaten yet?" Liu Qicheng said with a smile. He couldn't wait to see Lin Heng's miserable appearance.

"Eat, take a look at the food." Lin Heng said expressionlessly.

"Bring it in." Liu Qicheng walked into the house and asked casually: "Are you still harvesting mulberry leaves recently?"

"Yes, prices will definitely increase in the future." Lin Heng nodded.

Liu Qicheng smiled: "I heard that many places have stopped harvesting Phellinus linteus. Be careful not to sell it in the future. Don't look for me then."

Recently, he asked someone again, and he became more and more certain that the price of Phellinus linteum could not be increased.

However, what disappointed him was that there was no look of anxiety or panic on Lin Heng's face. He said very calmly: "You should weigh these things. You don't have to worry about Phellinus mulberry."

Of course he understood Liu Qicheng's mentality of gloating over others' misfortunes and looking down on himself, and he didn't bother to refute anything. He would regret it when the facts happened.

"Ganoderma lucidum still costs [-] yuan a pound, suede skin [-] yuan, squirrel skin [-] yuan."

After weighing the things, Liu Qicheng looked at Lin Heng and said.

"Your price is wrong. The prices in Ganoderma City have gone up to [-], so how can this suede skin be sold for [-]?" Lin Heng shook his head and said.

Liu Qicheng said that if the price in the city went up, he would not go up, but if the price went down, he would drop it hard. This is really bad.

Liu Qicheng glanced at Lin Heng and said with a cold face: "No, you can take it to the city and sell it. This is the price I have here."

Lin Heng was stunned and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, you are too domineering in doing business. I don't want you to pay according to the city's price. You can pay according to Ganoderma lucidum [-] and suede leather [-]. You can do it too." Earn more than ten dollars."

Lin Heng's tone was to discuss it, but Liu Qicheng became angry at that time and shouted with a sneer: "Take your things away and sell them to whomever you like. I won't accept them anymore."

"No, I'm just talking about business." Lin Heng spread his hands, thinking that he hadn't offended this person, so why was he still angry?

"Whatever I charge is what I charge. If it's expensive in the city, why don't you go and sell it in the city? Negotiate the price with me? Do you really think you have the capital to earn a thousand kilograms of mulberry huang? You and I are still far behind!"

Liu Qicheng sneered disdainfully. He felt that Lin Heng was blackmailing him and wanted him to make concessions, but there was no way.

If I made a price concession to you today, will I have to give a price concession to someone else tomorrow? A young boy who knows nothing, really thinks he is capable?
  "Phew!" Lin Heng exhaled and said with a smile, "It's okay. If you don't give up the price, it's my problem."

Taking the things, Lin Heng turned around and left with his wife and daughter.

After walking out, Xiulan pulled him and said, "Don't be angry. This man has always been like this. You are not allowed to bargain with him."

Lin Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not angry."

It was impossible not to be angry. Xiaoxia was even frightened. He must teach this piece of shit Liu Qicheng a lesson. Last time, he showed off his face in front of him and Father Lin, but this time he did it again. He was really easy to bully.

Don’t you have a very good buying station, so I will build one too. If you don’t want to increase the price, right, then I will force you to increase the price.

This era is like this. Some people are simple and kind, while others are greedy and ugly. They rely on themselves to monopolize resources without asking anyone to negotiate the price.

Lin Heng suddenly remembered something. In his previous life, Liu Qicheng seemed to have gambled with the head of the Cheng family at the grain station, but he was not present when he was caught.

It's a pity that I didn't know the place and time of their gambling, otherwise I would have reported the grandson immediately.

"How about I sell the things?" Xiulan whispered again. She could see that Lin Heng was holding back his anger.

"Don't sell it, keep it and I'll take it to the city to sell." Lin Heng shook his head. He didn't want his wife to be angry again.

Xiulan added: "Then let's go fishing?"

"No, let's go home first." Lin Heng smiled and touched Xiaoxia's face. She was a little scared.

"Dad, that person is bad!" Xiaoxia looked at him and said.

"Yes, very bad." Lin Heng nodded and comforted his daughter.

"Okay." Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and had no choice but to go back now.

I didn't bring any money with me when I came down. I originally wanted to sell my things and then buy some. But now that I can't sell them, I have no choice but to go back.

After carrying their daughter back, when they arrived at Murakami, someone saw them coming back with their things on their backs and curiously asked, "Why didn't you sell it?"

"It's too dark. I don't want to sell it for the time being. The price offered is too low." Lin Heng said with a smile. "Hey, what can you do if the price is low? There is only one purchasing point in town. If you don't want to sell, you have to sell." There are many people who are dissatisfied with Liu Qicheng, but there is nothing they can do against him.

At this time, there was not even an antitrust law, and people were rich, so ordinary people could only endure it. This kind of thing is the same in every dynasty and every generation.

"Then you probably can only sell it in the market." Someone in the field laughed.

……

When he got home, Lin Heng put his daughter down and asked her to play with the cat.

"Xiulan, I'm going out for two or three days to discuss some business at the Tuanjie Brick Factory in the town." Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and whispered.

"It's really business, not revenge?" Xiulan didn't believe it. She knew that Lin Heng was holding back his anger.

Lin Heng held her hand and said with a smile: "It's really business. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. I can't bear to leave you and my daughter. I can't do anything illegal."

"Let's do this. You stay at home for a day. If you still want to go tomorrow, you can go." Xiulan said. She felt that Lin Heng was still angry for the time being.

"Okay, I promise you." Lin Heng nodded, went into the room and took a pen and paper to start writing yesterday's plan.

He overturned yesterday's idea. The results of breeding were still slow. Before that, he could start a business first. The acquisition station was quite good. After it was opened, he could just find someone he could trust to watch it in the town.

He himself is still in the village with his wife, children and family, slowly building his own Hongfeng Mountain.

The advantage of this is that you have a stable source of income. You don't have to rely on luck such as hunting in the mountains. You can also have a guarantee when doing other things by yourself.

He actually had this idea before, but it was not as strong as it is today. After all, capital is needed to compete with a mature acquisition station.

After thinking about it, Lin Heng continued to write his own construction plan for Hongfeng Mountain, writing down all the precautions, things that needed to be paid attention to, and what to buy.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. It is better to write this kind of thing bit by bit to avoid missing it.

Xiulan saw Lin Hengzhen writing so seriously, and then she believed that Lin Hengzhen was not acting out of emotion.

In the afternoon, Father Lin came over.

"Lin Heng, I heard that you and Xiaoxia went to sell things in the morning and ended up carrying them back?" Lin's father walked into the yard and asked curiously.

"Yes, then Liu Qicheng was too bullying..." Lin Heng told the general story.

Father Lin shook his head after hearing this: "This person is getting darker and darker now. He was such a good person when he first opened."

"But don't even think about hitting someone. Your wife and children are all dependent on you. We can just go to the city and sell them at a low price. If you hit someone, you will have to go to jail." Father Lin He looked at Lin Heng worriedly and said.

"As you can tell, I'm not good at fighting. Even when I was with Zhao Hu and the others, I never fought." Lin Heng said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Father Lin nodded: "That's good. You'd better make your own fish pond. I've got a date for you. One day will be June [-]th, the other will be June [-]th. Both days will be fine."

Compared with his son going to fight with rich people doing business, Father Lin felt that it was not unacceptable to dig his own fish pond.

Father Lin is talking about the lunar calendar. This year is June 6th of the lunar calendar. There are three days to the 17th and six days to the 20th.

"I understand. I'll buy the materials tomorrow and start digging fish ponds when I get back." Lin Heng nodded and said, no matter how other things go, digging fish ponds must continue.

"Okay, I'll go back first. I'll have to go uphill to weed the crops in the afternoon." Father Lin said and was about to go back.

"Dad, why are you so anxious? Let's play for a while." Lin Heng took Lin's father to sit down and drink tea.

As Father Lin drank tea, Lin Heng showed him his plan for Hongfeng Mountain.

After seeing this, Lin's father smiled and patted Lin Heng on the shoulder: "You kid has an idea. If you have money, just go ahead and give it a try. I'll look away. Go ahead and give it to you. Your father, I don't have that idea." This ability can only keep you from going hungry when you run out of money."

He was shocked. His son's plan was too ambitious. He couldn't even imagine that he would earn at least one million a year in five years.

He would be extremely happy to be able to earn [-] yuan a year in five years. He was afraid of his son's ambition. At the same time, I thought it was too much fun. The plan was pretty good, but it was just a fantasy to realize.

"Haha, dad, just watch. In five years, I will build a big villa on Hongfeng Mountain and bring you and mom in." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"I've eaten your big cake, and I'm waiting for that day." Father Lin said with a smile.

After chatting for a while and drinking two cups of tea, Father Lin left.

Lin Heng went to help kill some pigweed in the afternoon, but did not go uphill to help remove bract weed.

In the evening, Xiulan was afraid that Lin Heng was really motivated, so she took the initiative to squeeze Lin Heng dry, hoping to use her gentleness to influence Lin Heng.

This was an unprecedented and wonderful experience for Lin Heng, and he became a passive party.

He waited until it was over before telling his wife all his plans. He was really going to the Tuanjie Brick Factory to discuss business.

He was going to sell the technology on how to make it better to the owner of Tuanjie Brick Factory to earn some cash, and then go to other towns to bring back a batch of mulberry leaves. With enough capital, he could fuck that son of a bitch Liu Qicheng.

As for why he knew how to bake bricks, Lin Heng told his wife that it was a secret and he would tell her later.

"So you thought about it from the beginning, and then you told me after I took the initiative?" After hearing this, Xiulan looked straight at Lin Heng.

Even though there was only faint moonlight in the room, Lin Heng felt the sharp gaze.

"Bad guy!" Xiulan's voice was gritted, and she bit Lin Heng's arm.

"Oh, I was the wrong wife." Lin Heng quickly begged for mercy, but Xiulan really bit her this time.

"I really want to bite you to death, but I won't do it again in the future." Xiulan turned her head away, furious.

In order to make her husband feel at ease and not engage in all kinds of things, she had to endure a lot of shame before making up her mind to serve him. In the end, this hateful man lied to her.

“It’s so bad!!”

Xiulan couldn't help but turn around and hit Lin Heng again, this hateful man.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong." Lin Heng quickly hugged his wife and begged for mercy. He suddenly panicked when he thought that the wonderful thing just now would never happen again.

"Hold the pillow and sleep, you're angry." Xiulan threw the pillow to him.

When she thought that she was comforting him with all her heart, but this person was having fun, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The next morning, when Xiulan got up, she was too embarrassed to look at Lin Heng, and her expression was cold, as if she was very angry.

"Don't be angry." While his wife was cooking, Lin Heng walked in shamelessly.

"Get lost." Xiulan glared at him.

Lin Heng found an opportunity to hug her and tickle her. Xiulan smiled and begged for mercy: "Stop scratching me. I'm really not angry anymore. Please, husband~"

Her body softened from being scratched, and she collapsed in Lin Heng's arms.

Lin Heng let go. She stood up and wanted to give her man a few blows. She shook her head helplessly and said, "I've really fallen into your hands for the rest of my life."

"It's okay, I've made a reservation for the next life and the next life too." Lin Heng chuckled.

"Stop talking so much, I have to let you calm down for seven days to get a taste of it." Xiulan glared at him.

"Don't, you'll feel uncomfortable too."

"If you talk too much, I'll let you sleep outside the door." Xiulan said angrily.

Lin Heng was helpless. If he had known he would have lied to his wife, it would have been fatal to lose food for seven days.

How could a young body bear this punishment?

After breakfast, Lin Heng changed his clothes and went out. After spending the past few days with Xiaoxia, he was no longer so clingy.

"Be safe, come back as soon as possible." Xiulan put a straw hat on him and warned him.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back soon." Lin Heng said with a smile.

After saying that, he turned around and went out. Time was tight. He had to complete this matter as soon as possible and get some money to buy a batch of mulberry and yellow crops.

When he walked to Huangtan Town, Lin Heng glanced at the direction of Liu's purchasing station and smiled. It was never something adults should do. Changing one by one was only done when there was no other way.

He has many ways to finish him off, killing people with borrowed knives and stabbing people in the dark are smart strategies.
