"Hmph! Mr. Xie is famous for picking up small bargains. Didn't I hear that you charge for water pumping here, Erdan? He came to our house tonight and borrowed money from us without any interest. You bought it again, Erdan.
This water pump money was lent by Xie Bao from their family. In a word, I just want you to help irrigate their land, but I don’t want to give you money yet." Yang Cuihua snorted coldly.
"Cuihua, Mr. Xie really likes to take advantage of small things, but what people said is also true. Erdan, I think so, Mr. Xie's family only has five acres of land, let's not miss the 150 yuan, tomorrow
Let’s irrigate their homes,” Li Baoku said.
"Hmph! Do you think that Xie Laojie, who is so kind-hearted and helping our family, is not because their stupid son wants to take advantage of our Xuewei?" Yang Cuihua snorted again.
Thank you, Mr. Xie. I didn't look for you, old boy, but you plotted against me. I'm going to tell you that this time you won't win.
Li Erdan, who sneered in his heart, quickly opened his mouth and said.
"Father, mother, go back and tell Mr. Xie that I can irrigate their home and ask him to come to me tomorrow morning. I just have something to do with him."
After hearing what Li Erdan said, the old couple packed their lunch boxes and went home.
Although Li Erdan stayed in the field all night, Li Erdan hardly had to do anything about the irrigation. Da Mao Er Mao was responsible for looking after the water. When moving the water pipes, the two hamsters asked the old scalper to help.
As for Li Erdan, he spent the first half of the night studying the Xiangshan gourd on Bansu's chest, and the second half of the night almost fell asleep laughing.
"Erdan, when are you going to work in my field?" Early the next morning, Xie Laoji came to the field excitedly at dawn.
If Erdan irrigates the land for me, my son Xie Bao and I will be able to free up at least three days to work outside for a few days, and earn hundreds of dollars more.
Xie Laojie, with a happy face, was thinking about his little plan in his heart, when Li Erdan's lazy voice sounded.
"Uncle Lao, don't worry about your land, just leave it all to me. But I'm going to add some cabinets to my house recently. It just so happens that, Uncle Lao, you are the best carpenter in Shili and Baxiang. You can give me two
A cabinet."
"Opening the cabinet? This? Erdan, if you ask Uncle Lao for help, Uncle Lao will definitely help you, but Xie Bao and I have been scheduled for work recently, and we don't have time to do it for you." Mr. Xie
He said with a embarrassed look on his face.
This old guy was very happy when he begged for help. As soon as he went to such trouble to ask for help, Li Erdan couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
"Uncle Chi, look at it. If it doesn't work, I can just spend money. How much money do you need to open a cabinet for others? How much money will I give you? You, a fellow villager like us, can't help me even though you are so busy." Li Erdan laughed.
Let's talk.
"Look at what you kid said, you don't have money. Why am I so embarrassed to ask you for money? Since you insist on giving it, I'm too embarrassed not to take it. Tell me, you want to fight me."
What kind of cabinet?”
Old bastard, Li Erdan cursed secretly in his heart again.
"Uncle Lao, just buy me two cabinets that are exactly the same as those in your house. Just the same size as the cabinets with the big copper pieces in your house." Li Erdan said casually.
"That's easy to say, isn't it just two cabinets? Xie Bao and I can make it in four days at most. One cabinet costs five hundred yuan, and two cabinets cost one thousand yuan. I tell you Erdan, Old Uncle Shit is not making money from you. Now
Timber materials are too expensive.”
Mr. Xie changed his words and stared at Li Erdan with his small eyes.
"Four days is too long. I'll prepare it in these two days. Can you hurry up, old uncle? I'll give you two days at most. If you can, I'll go to town and buy ready-made ones." Li Erdan frowned.
asked the head man.
"Erdan, two days are too tight. Even if Xie Bao and I don't sleep, we still can't get out two cabinets." Mr. Xie frowned and said.
"Uncle Lao He, of my two cabinets, one is for clothes, and the other is for water pumps, water pipes and other machines. In fact, the old ones are also fine. Uncle He, you see, you two are both craftsmen. What?
Whenever you want to use it, you can make it yourself. Why don't you give me the cabinet in your house? Don't worry, I'll pay you every penny." Li Erdan said.
"That cupboard at my house? Erdan, you can't go back on your word. I can take the cupboard at my house for you. Don't think it's expensive then." Xie Laojie asked excitedly.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Didn't you listen to me? I just use it to hold the water pump and tools. What's the point of being older?" Li Erdan replied.
"Okay Erdan, let's make it right. I'll go back and prepare the materials. I'll pack a cabinet for you first. Once it's done, Xie Bao and I will take it to your home."
After everything was agreed upon, Mr. Xie almost ran back home without skipping a beat.
Xie Bao is about to get married. Mr. Xie is preparing to build a new house for Xie Bao in the second half of the year. By then, all the tattered furniture in the house will be replaced with new ones. Now Li Erdan actually spends 500 yuan to buy a tattered one. Why?
I'm not excited to be able to impress Mr. Xie.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, Li Erdan irrigated almost one-third of the farmland in the village, and the money spent on the water pumps was fully recovered.
On this day, Li Erdan and his family were having dinner in their room, and Xie Laoji's screams were heard outside.
"Erdan, the cabinet you requested has been delivered to you."
Li Erdan went out and saw Mr. Xie Bao and his wife unloading cabinets from Lao Niu.
The two cabinets were new and old, and the old cabinet was the one with the bronze mirror inlaid in it. Li Erdan's eyes suddenly shone, and he suppressed his excitement.
"I'll move this new one into my room, and put this old one here."
With the help of Mr. Xie and his son, the cabinet was quickly put away.
As soon as Xie Laoji and his son left, Yang Cuihua and Li Baoku came to Li Erdan.
"You stupid kid, Mr. Xie, this old bastard, obviously took advantage of you. Look at how old this cabinet is. He still charged you five hundred yuan. Why are you so stupid? It's all your fault, old man."
, look at the humanity of Mr.
"This Mr. Xie is going too far. If it doesn't work, I'll go to him to argue with him. The price of using old furniture to sell new furniture is simply ridiculous." The angry Li Baoku took a step forward to go to Mr. Xie to argue with him.
At this moment, the old couple suddenly found Li Erdan holding a big ax in his hand, and he was hitting the old cabinet with it.
"Crack." The top cover of the cabinet was immediately split open.
"Erdan, you're crazy." The old couple shouted almost at the same time.
At this time, Li Erdan struck again with an axe. After several blows, he completely cut the upper cover in half, revealing the bronze mirror embedded in the cover.
Picking up the bronze mirror and holding it in his palm, Li Erdan laughed wildly.
"My child, are you sick? Have you not slept well in the past two days? Do you need to call Dr. Wu to check on you?" Yu Cuihua said with concern.
"Hahaha, mom, what are you talking about? My son is fine. Mom and dad, do you two think that my son is stupid for spending a lot of money to buy an old cabinet and then smashing it into pieces after buying it?" Li Erdan said with a smile.
After hearing what Li Erdan said, the old couple were puzzled and looked at Li Erdan who looked excited.
