Chapter 19 You are dumber than a pig

From January 1 to January 23, Yang Hai operated 1 lots in his international crude oil futures account. For every dollar increase in the international crude oil futures price, he could earn $30 million.

This week, his net income reached more than 120 million US dollars. Together with the previous funds, the total funds in Yang Hai's account reached 315 million US dollars. Together with the 56 million US dollars transferred out before, the total assets exceeded 370 million US dollars.

It is equivalent to nearly 2.6 billion RMB.

Yang Hai thought about it and transferred 2 million US dollars to the Hong Kong Bank of China account. He used the remaining million US dollars to continue to operate short orders to short international crude oil futures, because the international crude oil futures price will fall back in the future.
This time will be very short, about six or seven days, and the correction will not be large. It will fall below US$88 a barrel and then turn around and rise.

Yang Hai did not ask those futures traders to work overtime during the Spring Festival, so after asking them to close their positions, he did not let them continue to operate. He gave them a holiday and let them go back to have a good New Year.

But Yang Hai himself certainly would not miss the opportunity to make money. Even if he had to go back to his hometown for the New Year, he could bring his laptop with him and still trade online in his hometown.

However, he still reduced his positions and only traded 10,000 lots.

Yang Hai’s hometown is not a very remote and backward place. Although it is also at the foot of the mountains, there is a provincial road passing through the entrance of their village.

This provincial road is a first-class highway, a four-lane cement road in both directions. It is very convenient whether you are going to town, the city, or the provincial capital. You can take a bus right at your doorstep.

Even if you take a bus heading south to Linhai, you can get on and off right at your doorstep, so even if you take a bus from Linhai back to your hometown and arrive home in the middle of the night, it doesn’t matter because you can get off directly at the village entrance.

I'm about to go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year, so naturally I have to say goodbye to Shen Ruobing's parents. After all, they are Yang Hai's nominal father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Yang Hai is their nominal son-in-law, so at least some courtesy should be observed.

Besides, the two of them were really nice to Yang Hai and truly treated him as their son-in-law.

"It's only natural for you two to go back home to celebrate the New Year after your wedding." Father Shen and Yang Hai said while drinking.

"And after you go home, you must hold a wedding banquet to entertain relatives, friends, and villagers, especially people from your own clan. Otherwise, people from your own clan will have a problem with you."

"Dad! I didn't say I wanted to go back to his hometown with him to celebrate the New Year." Shen Ruobing said quickly.

Their marriage was originally a fake one, so Shen Ruobing certainly had never thought about following Yang Hai back to his hometown in the countryside to celebrate the New Year.

I heard that there were no toilets in the countryside, and people had to go to the toilet in pit latrines. The smell in the pit latrines was terrible, and it was dirty everywhere. She couldn't accept it.

"Nonsense, you married Yang Hai and entered the Yang family, so how can you not go back to your hometown with him to celebrate the New Year?" Father Shen said unhappily with his eyes wide open.

"When you follow Yang Hai to his home, you must worship his ancestors with him, and worship his parents. You must also go to his parents' graves, burn incense, burn paper, and kneel down to worship."

"As the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, how can you be disrespectful to your parents-in-law and not even meet them? You are going too far. If others know about this, they will say that we, as parents, have not taught you well."

"Mom! I grew up in the city. How could I have ever been to the countryside? I won't know anything and won't be used to it if I go to the countryside. What should I do then? I'll still embarrass you. It's better not to go at all." Shen Ruobing said with a bitter face.

"Besides, it's still very cold in their hometown, several degrees below zero, and there's no heating?"

"And there's no place to live. His old house has collapsed. Where can I live if I go back with him?"

"We women have always followed the way we marry a chicken, a chicken follows a chicken; we marry a dog follows a dog; we marry a monkey and run all over the mountains. Since you have chosen to marry him, then of course you have to follow him and go back to his hometown." Mother Shen shook her head and said.

"The villagers in the countryside are very simple and honest. Besides, Yang Hai's parents are gone, so you don't have to worry about your mother-in-law making things difficult for you."

"If you don't go back with Yang Hai, everyone in the village will know that Yang Hai is married, and his sisters will definitely be waiting to meet you, their sister-in-law. If you don't go back, what will you let Yang Hai do?"

"Yang Hai is your husband. You are going back to your hometown with your husband to celebrate the New Year. Can your husband really leave you without a place to live?"

Although Yang Hai had never thought about taking Shen Ruobing back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, Shen Ruobing's parents had said so, and Yang Hai was embarrassed to say that Shen Ruobing didn't need to go back to his hometown with him to celebrate the New Year. In the end, although Shen Ruobing was reluctant, she didn't dare to disobey her parents, so she could only nod and temporarily agree, but no one knew what she was thinking.

After leaving the Shen family, Shen's father asked Shen Ruobing to leave the car at the Shen family and he would drive Yang Hai back because Yang Hai was drunk and couldn't drive.

In addition, Mr. Shen also said that it would be enough to let two people drive one car back, and they could take turns driving on the road without getting tired.

It's not good to drive back alone without anyone to talk to on the road!
After getting in the car, Shen Ruobing looked angry and started to get mad at Yang Hai.

"Can't you just go back to your hometown for the New Year? Your parents are gone anyway, and your house is a broken house that has already collapsed. If I follow you home, where will we live?"

"Besides, it's still so cold in your hometown, several degrees below zero, and there's no heating at home. You'll freeze to death when you sleep at night!"

"If you don't want to go back with me, no one will force you to go back. You can just go to Sanya for vacation! And then lie to your parents and say that you are going back to my hometown with me." Yang Hai said with a sneer.

"That's right! You are absolutely right. You are so smart. You can think of any solution." Shen Ruobing's eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily.

"But what if my parents call you and ask you to ask me to answer the phone?"

"Or what if my dad calls me and asks me to put you on the phone?"

When she thought of this problem, Shen Ruobing felt unhappy again.

"Do you know how the pig died?" Yang Hai asked with a smile.

"How did the pig die? It died of stupidity." Shen Ruobing answered without even thinking.

"You also know that you are so stupid. I don't think you are much smarter than a pig." Yang Hai said while trying to hold back his laughter.

"When your parents called you and asked me to answer the phone, you wouldn't say I wasn't with you, right? Then you could have quickly called me and asked me to call them back, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Hey! What you said seems to be right! Let's use this method." Shen Ruobing nodded and said in agreement.

"What if my parents call you and ask you to pick me up?"

"If you call a pig stupid, the pig will feel it is unfair." Yang Hai said speechlessly.

"Why? Pigs are stupid. Is there anything dumber than pigs?" Shen Ruobing didn't understand what Yanghai meant.

"Because you are dumber than a pig." Yang Hai couldn't help but laugh.

"Yang Hai! How dare you say that I'm dumber than a pig? I'm so mad." Shen Ruobing was so angry that she stepped on the brakes to stop the car.

Yang Hai was startled and looked behind the car. Fortunately, the Chinese New Year was only a few days away and Linhai was an immigrant city, so there were not many cars on the road.

If this happened at any other time, there would definitely be a car rear-ending us.

"You're crazy. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. I haven't lived enough."

Yang Hai, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, couldn't help but scold Shen Ruobing angrily.
