Chapter 9 The ulterior purpose

Seeing that Ye Congwen was mumbling something, Mudouya couldn't understand what he was saying, so he asked a little worriedly:

"You won't drown, right?"

"Don't worry, you'll be ready to turn over once you've had enough water."

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy surnamed Mo turned over and wanted to say a few harsh words, but his stomach was full of sewage, both arms were dislocated, and he couldn't use any strength at all. Half of his face was soaked in sewage, wow wow

The earth vomits and drinks, drinks and vomits again, and the cycle goes on and on.

"What did the fat man say just now?"

Ye Congwen seemed to remember something, but had no clue.

"It seems that they all brought bodyguards to protect the three carp families——"

The two of them looked at each other and seemed to understand something. They took a few steps back with a tacit understanding, looked around, and ran off with two bags in hand.

Doudouya was wearing a long skirt and could not move quickly enough. After running for a while, she was thrown away by Ye Congwen. She shouted softly:

"Wait for me!"

…………

Ye Congwen had already arrived on the street, but at this time the street was already in chaos: houses collapsed, shops were destroyed, and it was a mess. People on both sides burst into tears from time to time, and those who fell in a pool of blood could not receive treatment for a long time.

eyes closed forever.

Pigeon Sprout asked in shock:

"What just happened?"

Ye Congwen told what happened before, and then looked at the dazed Douya Ya and said meaningfully:

"That's why I let those three brothers go. If they hadn't stopped you, with your character of enjoying the fun, I'm afraid things would have been much worse now."

"Hey! The three of you who jumped on the street to stop me didn't get beaten, but the fat guy didn't even take action but he was thrown into the ditch by you. It's quite unlucky!"

Pigeon Sprout smiled heartlessly.

"You mean you blame me for hitting the wrong person?"

"No, no, I hate fat people with squinting eyes the most!"

Ye Congwen glanced at Mudouya, and there were some things that had to be explained clearly. This girl grew up in Tieta Village, so she didn't know that people outside were sinister.

Seeing the pigeon sprouts running too far, he quickly called out:

"Why are you still running ahead? Take this trail and row back quickly!"

The bean sprouts mysteriously clung to Ye Congwen's ear and said softly:

"I've hidden twenty kilograms of tripe in the shop, and I'll take it to the boat to make hot pot for you later."

Are you afraid that you want to eat it yourself? This girl is so courageous that she even had to cut off the tripe. It is a complete thing. As long as she looks back, the three animal trainers will definitely find that the tripe is incomplete and come to her door again.

It was a bloody storm.

"I'm afraid that you will drag me into trouble sooner or later. I will wipe your ass all day long! Get your things back quickly and hide them well. Don't let the three old guys see it!"

Ye Congwen got angry. When the bean sprouts walked away, he hurriedly followed him. He glared fiercely and said:

"Follow me, don't run around!"

The two sneaked back to the shop, unlocked it, picked up their things, and walked back. They were afraid of being seen. Ye Congwen always felt that following this unlucky girl, the more afraid he was, the more likely he would be.

In fact, the two of them carried several large and small bags. Unless they were specifically looking for it, who would know that they were carrying a bag of tripe? What's more, the streets were in a mess at this time, with injuries and broken bodies, and the houses were in ruins.

Unfortunately, who is in the mood to pay attention to the two of them?

The journey was calm and the sea was calm. When they got on the wooden boat, Ye Congwen quickly put down the rope and bent his back. In less than half a moment, the boat gradually disappeared into the green and picturesque stream like an arrow from the string.

The setting sun was like blood, the river was quiet, and a feeling of tranquility over time came over the two of them. Ye Congwen continued to paddle, slowly going up the stream, but it was much more strenuous and slower than when he came here.

A charcoal fire was started, an iron pot filled with tripe brine was placed on the fire, and the next step was a long wait.

"This gold coin is for you."

Ye Congwen was quite surprised when he saw Mudouya handing the gold coin to him, and asked in confusion:

"You can keep it for yourself. Why do you want it for me?"

"Just take it. If it falls into the river later, don't blame me!"

Mudouya threw the gold coins into Ye Congwen's pocket, turned back to the stern of the boat, and said quietly:

"With this gold coin, there are ten gold coins in total."

He took a pair of wooden paddles and shook them gently.

"A living pioneer cow can only be sold for ten gold coins, and it requires about ten people. This time, we did it with just two people, and the money was quite penny.

Brother Congwen, Ye Rulang won’t ask you for compensation again this time, right?”

"You don't have to do this. It's the same ten or nine times. They won't pursue it."

"I don't! It doesn't matter to them that they look down on me. In their eyes, I'm just a little plague god anyway, and I'm used to it. But you are different. You are only fifteen years old. Men can grow to be twenty years old. You will definitely be better than me in the future.

They are all tall!”

Mudouya said angrily, seeming to think of something, her heart felt sour, and her eyes were filled with a lonely afterglow. Afraid of being seen by Ye Congwen, she turned her head to one side and said stubbornly:

"You are also a son of the Ye clan, why should you be reprimanded by them! Why should you be laughed at and pitied by them? They are tall and strong and are good at fighting and hunting. You can't compare with them in this aspect.

But aren’t they capable of doing the same things you can do? Literacy, writing, calculating accounts, including doing business and dealing with people, is there anything that Ye Rulang is better than you?"

"What happened to you today, little bean sprout?"

Ye Congwen had never seen Douya Ya being so indignant, and he didn't know how to persuade her.

"I just want to tell you that if it were Ye Rulang selling Pioneer Mango beef today, let alone selling it for ten gold coins, even with a 50% discount, the beef might not be sold out.

But you did it today. Not only did you sell them all, but you also sold them for ten gold coins. Of course, with my help - you must mention this, otherwise he will think that I am just a decoration!

I'll put ten gold coins in front of him tomorrow morning, and I'll see what he has to say!"

Isn't this trying to cure someone's anger? Ye Congwen smiled and persuaded: "Why bother? Isn't it nice for you to keep this gold coin as pocket money?"

"It doesn't taste good! I only have these twenty pounds of tripe!"

He glanced at Ye Congwen provocatively and said leisurely:

"If I really take this gold coin, I'm afraid some people won't be able to sleep tonight!"

"What are you talking about? This is something you gained out of desperation. Whoever is jealous will earn it himself!"

Ye Congwen saw that Mudouya guessed his worries and said angrily.

"If I go to town with you and sell beef once, I can earn a carpenter's wages for a year. No one will believe it! There are only two of us, who will testify for whom, and who will believe what we say?

I can earn one gold coin, but you, Ye Congwen, don’t know how much you have earned?

Maybe the wives you have saved over the years are enough to marry a wealthy family!"

The sentences in "Mudou Sprout" are touching and logical. However, Ye Congwen is also a person who cherishes feathers. He has been working as a small accountant for six or seven years and is still a man with a poor family. He said disdainfully:

"If you don't do bad things on weekdays, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. There's nothing to be afraid of. The house is just that big. Anyone is welcome to look through it."

"You think everyone is stupid? You also hide your money at home. Who if you have money won't go to the city to buy a yard and have a concubine or something - this is called mud falling into your crotch, and no one will believe you no matter how you explain it.

you."

"You never leave the village all day long. How did you hear all this nonsense?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"My eldest sister, second sister and third sister told me."

Mudouya told Ye Congwen seriously:

"Those with money and land in their village all bought yards in the county town, and kept a group of concubines and maids behind their wives' backs. They usually live in the city and live happily, and then return to the village in the autumn to collect rent."

"They are not the government, so why should they collect taxes and rent?"

"But they are landlords! They have to pay rent to plant their own fields! Why should they farm it for you if they don't pay?"

Mudou Ya glanced at Ye Congwen as if he were looking at a fool, and suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized:

"Do you think they are all the same as our Tieta Village? We live by hunting, relying on mountains and water. We have no land, so the government only collects a poll tax.

But my brothers-in-law are different. The land in the village belongs to the landlord. If you want to farm, you have to rent it. The landlord doesn't care about your age. Anyway, you pay half and half rent per acre. After paying the rent, you still have to pay the government tax.

Tune..."

Ye Congwen was dumbfounded. As a professional accountant and taxpayer, he really didn't know these things.

"Listening to what you said, doesn't your brother-in-law have very few left?"

“If you have a good year, you can still eat meat every month, but if you have a bad year, it’s hard to say!————

So I kept 20 kilograms of tripe in private this time, just to wait for my sisters to take their nephews back to their parents’ house to improve their food. I won’t talk about it anymore, but I’m going to try it first to see if the tripe is cooked. I’ve been hungry all day!”

Pigeon Sprout's stomach growled with hunger, so he put down the paddle and ran to the stove.

The stew pot is sizzling, and the aroma of braised meat is spreading everywhere. The two of them have been busy all day, and it is really tempting. Ye Congwen is not bad, people who eat beef every day are more hungry, and the smell of tripe is so bad.

I have never touched large internal organs before. After all, it is difficult to swallow sewer-like things if you don’t handle the smell well.

Both Huaye and Hua tribes are fierce brothers and strong sisters. They only need one trick for cooking: boiling meat. As long as it’s cooked and edible, it’s so complicated. Why don’t they force Zhang Fei to do embroidery?

Seeing that the pig bean sprouts were eating deliciously, he was probably really hungry. Ye Congwen couldn't help but feel a little guilty and had to find a way to help her family.

"Anyway, I've given you the gold coins. It doesn't matter if you hand them over or not - if I save them, I might buy a yard in the county in the future. If I go to my sister's house to pay New Year greetings one day, I can go to your house when I have free time.

It’s time for a meal!”

"You keep encouraging me to use this gold coin to buy a yard in the county. Do you have any ulterior motives?"

What's the intention? If I hadn't been busy eating, I would have yelled loudly. I've already given you the money, so what's the purpose? Doudouya thought bitterly.

"Look, you earned this gold coin. If you buy a yard in the future, do you also want to be half the owner?"

Ye Congwen asked with a wary look.

"You look down on people, don't you? I keep my word——"

Seeing that Ye Congwen was discussing this matter with him in a serious manner, Doudouya saw that this elm-shaped lump had finally come to his senses! After being nudged by me, he also knew how to save some private money for himself? He quickly changed his words and said:

"If I really want to buy a yard, of course I have to own a share. Half of it is too much - but I can't refuse, Brother Congwen, if you insist on giving it to me!"

"You are half the master and I am half the master. I am the male master and you are the female master. Who is the master?"

"What's there to care about? Half of you and half of me. As the saying goes, the man is the master of the outside and the woman is the master of the house. Naturally, I listen——"

Mudouya suddenly noticed the ambiguity in his words, and glanced at Ye Congwen secretly, and saw him looking at her expectantly. Suddenly his face turned red, he turned his head and cursed in a whisper:

"You are a heartless bad boy, you should steal more gold coins and buy a yard first..."

Ye Congwen was so frightened that he was speechless. Young girls are so bad these days, why do they always teach others to do bad things? How could I, a serious accountant, be reduced to stealing? The business of the accountant is not called misappropriation.

For a moment?
